Even though Gu Linxi's words to the Main System had this meaning, Xie Siqiang had always thought that there was always a chance of survival. Now that he had encountered this scene, he seemed to be able to give up her unrealistic idea of spending all her time in the dark. After all, she was too young and too conceited. How could she possibly think that she could solve this predicament?
What Xie Siqian understood was that he had already seen through it. Even if Gu Linxi had been moved by him and a trace of affection had finally arisen within him, it would still be erased in the end. This was because with this strict instruction coming from Gu Linxi, the person she loved had to be Jiang Jiayi. Only Jiang Jiayi was allowed. As long as she disobeyed this order, her memories would be erased, and she would only remain in the love of Jiang Jiayi.
Gu Linxi didn't know what had happened, but she felt an aura of grief and despair spreading from Xie Siqian's body. She wanted to say something to comfort Xie Sisi, but when she held her hand behind her back, she couldn't find the words to say. She kept having the feeling that she had done something wrong that caused Xie Si Er to reveal such grief and despair.
Something seemed to have dripped onto his shoulder, and it felt a little chilly. Gu Linxi knew that it was Xie Sizui's tears. This single tear caused Gu Lin Xi to feel an inexplicable sense of weakness in his heart. What had she done to make Xie Si Er so sad? A sour and sour feeling spread to his four limbs from within Gu Linxi's chest. She felt as if she had been infected by Xie Si's emotions and felt an inexplicable sense of sorrow.
”Did I do something wrong?” Gu Linxi lowered her eyelids, feeling helpless as she whispered into Xie Sisi's ear.
Xie Siqiang blinked, trying to control his tears. He held Gu Lingxi in his arms, unwilling to let him see his face. Her lips lightly caressed Gu Linxi's earlobes. With a slightly hoarse voice, Xie Siqiang whispered into Gu Linxi's ear, ”No, you didn't do anything wrong.”
No one was wrong. If he really said something wrong, then it was all his fault.
Hearing Xie Siqian's words, the depression in Gu Lingxi's heart still hadn't been resolved in the slightest. Her small face was filled with puzzlement. She felt even more guilty upon hearing Xie Siqiang's words, and even more sorry for him. Was it because of Jiang Jiayi? Was it because she had been alone with Jiang Jiayi that she felt guilty?
If that was really the case, then she wouldn't have to see Jiang Jiayi in the future. Having his originally low level of feelings towards Xie Siqian cleared, Gu Linxi felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart when he thought of the fact that he couldn't see Jiang Jiayi, as if something was missing. However, this sort of feeling, when compared to the guilt he felt for Xie Siqian, was instead something that Gu Linxi was willing to endure, and not something he was willing to endure.
”I'm sorry.” Gu Lin Xi felt that he owed Xie Siqian something like this, so he whispered into Xie Siqian's ear.
”It doesn't matter.”
It really doesn't matter, because you're Gu Linxi, so even if you're like this, it doesn't matter. He can still smile and face up to this reality.
