C157 (1/2)
The elegant coffee shop was accompanied by the melodious sound of the piano. The moment Gu Linxi took her first step into this place, she felt a sense of incompatibility. Had meeting in this place also meant that her relationship with Gu Wei had gradually become so awkward and out of place?
On the other side of the table near the window, Gu Wei quietly waited for Gu Linxi. She had chosen this place. Why did he choose this place? It was just that he suddenly thought of this place at that time. This place was very suitable for the current her and Gu Lin Xi. It was impossible for her to not blame Gu Lin Xi at all. Gu Wei had also realized that the distance between her and Gu Lin Xi had started to increase.
This kind of meeting place filled with distance was a decision that they had subconsciously made.
Not long after, Gu Linxi caught sight of Gu Wei, and her expression became a lot more solemn. She slowly walked over and sat in front of Gu Ruoyun. Neither of them spoke out immediately. Silence gradually spread between the two of them. After a long time, Gu Wei finally spoke.
”I ordered you a cup of coffee.”
Gu Lin Xi nodded his head. She took a deep breath, but didn't say anything. This was truly the first time this kind of situation had appeared between her and Gu Wei. It was so unfamiliar, so awkward.
The two of them didn't speak again until the cup of coffee was placed in front of Gu Linxi. They didn't know what to say, as if there were so many things they wanted to say, but nothing came out of their mouths. That strange feeling made them both feel that they couldn't adapt to it.
”I never thought that there would be a time when we would be so speechless. This is too embarrassing.” Gu Ruoyun was the first to speak. Since she was the one who had made an appointment with Gu Xiangxi, it didn't seem good if she didn't say anything. The two of them were like lovers who had just broken up, and it always felt awkward and awkward to meet each other.
Gu Lin Xi nodded, wanting to pull out a smile, but the smile on his face was even uglier than crying.
”You can leave the hospital?”
”I sneaked out.” Gu Shenwei stirred the coffee in his hand, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally raised his eyes and looked at Gu Linxi. She looked at Gu Linxi's face and let out a weak smile. That smile was filled with bitterness as she said, ”Guess who I went to see today.”
Gu Linxi felt that Gu Ruoyun's words had caused her to feel a little stifled in her heart. However, there wasn't anything wrong with every word she said. The only thing that gave her such a feeling was Gu Wei's tone and the indescribable grief she exuded.
The hand holding the spoon suddenly trembled, and the spoon and cup made a little clear sound. Gu Linxi really wanted to say a few words, but she already had no idea what she was going to say. Who had Gu Ruoyun seen today? How could she have such an expression? This answer seemed to be within reach. However, she was still trembling a little. It was as if she was in an icehouse as all of the coldness was directed at her.
Gu Ruoyun had already guessed the answer. She wore a somewhat unsettling smile, and her gaze was like a needle as it pierced through Gu Lingxi's heart. Before Gu Xiangxi had arrived, Gu Wei had thought about many things that had happened between him and Liu Xiuyun. She had also thought about those things for a long time.
”Here, I keep recalling every single detail of him. I suddenly realized how much I owe him.” Tears welled up in Gu Wei's eyes. She wiped them away with a tissue, but it seemed like the tears would start again in the next second.
