C248 (1/2)

Inside the house, Gu Linxi had just tried to call Xie Siqian again. However, the other party was still unable to connect for the time being. Please dial the notification sound later. Where did Xie Siniang go? Gu Linxi felt somewhat uneasy. A sound rang out from the other side of the door. Gu Linxi couldn't help but turn her head and see the door being opened, before a man walked in from there.

After being on tenterhooks for so long, Xie finally relaxed. This was what Gu Linxi and Xie Siqiang shared in their thoughts. Seeing that the other party was safe, the two of them felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders.

”You're back.” Gu Linxi didn't say anything more. She only said a few simple words to greet Xie Siqiang.

At the same time, Xie Siqiang didn't say anything and merely nodded his head.

He walked forward and tightly hugged Xie Sisi. With a tinge of worry in his voice, he said, ”I'm really worried for you. Why haven't you picked up my call for the entire day?”

Xie Siqiang hugged Gu Lin Xi back, his chin resting on Gu Lin Xi's head as he continuously experienced this kind of feeling. He still liked it a lot, the feeling of hugging Gu Lin Xi in his arms, because that would give him a special warmth. However, this moment of warmth didn't last for long. Xie Siqian was already struggling with her own will, and now that she had relaxed, she felt her legs go soft.

She staggered a step and almost fell to the ground. If not for Gu Linxi's timely support, she probably wouldn't have been able to avoid falling down like this. Gu Linxi frowned. She didn't know why Xie Si had suddenly become so weak. Only now did Gu Linxi notice that Xie Siqian's expression wasn't very good. Her face was somewhat pale, and her hands seemed to be trembling slightly as well.

What was going on? Gu Linxi helped Xie Siqian sit down.

”What's the matter with you?” Gu Linxi placed a cup of water in front of Xie Siqiang. Only at this moment did Gu Linxi realize that Xie Siqian was unceasingly breaking out in cold sweat. She could not help but place her hand on Xie Siqiang's forehead. The temperature on his forehead was not high, and it was clear that it was not a fever.

Just as Gu Linxi's hand left Xie Siqian's forehead, Xie Siqian suddenly pulled on Gu Xiangxi's hand and held it tightly.

He held Gu Linxi's hand and looked at it. The same red string had also disappeared. Xie Siqiang looked at Gu Lin Xi's wrist and asked weakly, ”Ling Xi, where's your Red String of Fate?”

Gu Linxi used her other hand to take out the red rope that she had placed in her pocket, then showed it to Xie Siqiang.

Just like his own, Xie Sizui placed the pink rope together with his own. The two identical ropes broke without any warning. As he recalled the look on Gu Linxi's face as he gave the rope to him, Xie Sisi wondered why the red rope would suddenly break today. Did this mean that she was already unwilling?

Xie Si Er had sunk into deep thought, but he didn't see that Gu Lin Xi was looking at him with a face full of worry. He was only thinking about whether the reason why he'd broken off was because of Gu Lingxi or himself. Under his gaze, the two red ropes suddenly became transparent, and then disappeared into his palm, as if they had never appeared.
