C68 (1/2)

Gu Linxi's brows twitched, her fingers resting on the transparent cup that contained the juice as she slowly traced the traces on the cup and stroked it. Since Zhao Haoyu was so concerned about losing face in front of him, Gu Linxi was somewhat surprised. She had thought that Zhao Haoyu was only interested in her for the sake of appearances. After all, he didn't have a deep understanding of a person, so how could he talk about feelings?

”Ling Xi, I know that you don't have any intentions in that regard towards me.” Zhao Haoyu looked at her and continued, ”But I still want to strive for an opportunity to pursue you. I feel that if I were to miss you like this, I will regret it for the rest of my life.”

”…” Gu Linxi lowered her head, not daring to look at Zhao Haoyu.

Was this considered a silent rejection? Zhao Haoyu also felt somewhat bored, but he still had a few traces of elegance, at least with a smile on his face.

”You won't even give me a chance? Ling Xi, you sure are ruthless. ”

Gu Linxi raised her head and said with a wry smile, ”I know full well that it's impossible, but why are you still giving the opponent a chance?” Mr. Zhao is a very good man, but not for me. Furthermore, I have a person in my heart, so I cannot give anyone a chance in this situation. ”

After saying these words, Gu Linxi couldn't help but feel somewhat guilty in her heart. At the same time, she also heaved a sigh of relief. She wasn't good at handling these kinds of things. To be able to cut through the mess quickly was the most correct thing to do.

”Then can we be friends?”

Gu Linxi hesitated for a moment before nodding. If it was just a friend, Gu Linxi wouldn't have refused.

”Let's eat first, otherwise these food will become cold in a while.” Zhao Haoyu picked up his chopsticks, looking somewhat absent-minded from the meal. Zhao Haoyu had a rather thorny feeling towards a woman like Gu Linxi who refused to get involved. He had always felt that his ever-victorious methods would fall victim to this woman called Gu Linxi.

”Actually, I saw something I shouldn't have seen in the mirror yesterday. That's why I bumped into a tree.” As Zhao Haoyu was picking up the piece of fish, he suddenly said this.

Gu Linxi stopped her chopsticks and asked with an unnatural tone, ”Is that so?”

”However, now that I think about it, it should be my misconception. I might have been too busy recently, which was why I had that misconception.” How could there be ghosts in this world? Don't you think so? ”

”That may not be so. Perhaps they exist by our side. It's just that they live in another dimension and we cannot see them.”

Zhao Haoyu looked at Gu Linxi with a slightly astonished expression. He had thought that a person who didn't have the slightest bit of fear after seeing a ghost film wouldn't believe in ghosts and gods. Never would he have thought that Gu Linxi actually believed in this.

”Is it strange?” Look at me like this. ”

”Not really. I'm just surprised.” Zhao Haoyu rested his chin on his hand, and with his other hand, he gently tapped the table. He asked with great interest, ”Then, do you think I've coincidentally seen some creatures from another dimension?”

Gu Linxi was stunned for a moment. ”Maybe, maybe it's true.”
