Chu Hao Long didn't care and shook his head. He looked at the little woman next to him and smiled, ”The reason why I saved you is because a woman said that if I don't save you, you will never care about me. So, the person you should be thanking isn't me.”

Chen Zhenxuan subconsciously looked at Gu Manxue, who was beside him. He frowned, but his eyes were also filled with grief. ”Xiaoxue, are you two already together?”

”Nope.” Gu Qingxue quickly replied. Her emotions were in complete disarray, and she didn't know what to do. She didn't want to see Chen Zhenxuan's expression, but how could she recover her feelings?

”You guys go ahead, I'll leave first.” He didn't want to put any pressure on Gu Manxue. He had made room for them to talk, so that Gu Manxue wouldn't be so hesitant.

Gu Manxue held his hand with a face full of anxiety, ”You're leaving?”

”I'll be waiting for you in A City.” Chu Haolong didn't hesitate to grab her face and look at her deeply. In the end, he didn't kiss her and only smiled at her before leaving.

The two of them were the only ones left in the huge ward. Gu Qingxue suddenly felt that the air was very heavy, so heavy that she couldn't breathe, and it was more of a feeling of fear.

”Let's go for a walk.” Chen Zhenxuan opened his mouth and walked out without waiting for her to agree.

The air outside was very fresh. Gu Qingxue followed behind him, and the two of them walked apart. It was like she was a child and would always be Chen Zhenxuan's follower.

The clear and cold morning had a hint of coldness to it. Gu Manxue, who was following behind him, could not help but sneeze. Following that, an embarrassed expression appeared on her face.

Chen Zhenxuan took off his clothes and draped it over her body. This kind of action was almost subconscious. It didn't seem to go through any mental processes, but rather, it was directly filtered out. He knew that this was the right thing to do.

”There's a milk tea shop in the front, do you still want some watermelon milk tea?” Chen Zhenxuan's voice was low and steady, reassuring everyone.

Gu Ruoyun nodded, as if he understood everything about her, her habits, her temper, anything she didn't like, he knew.

Just love? Did he love her? Or did she still love him?

His mind unconsciously thought of Chu Haolong. That feeling of warmth came over, his broad back, and that warm embrace. Most importantly, it made his heart beat faster.

When she came back to her senses, a cup of fragrant milk tea was already in her hand. They continued to walk forward, but Chen Zhenxuan had no intention of speaking.

”Zhenxuan, what do you have to say to me?” Gu Manxue asked after taking a sip.

”Xiao Xue, do you still love me?” Chen Zhenxuan suddenly asked and went straight to the point.

Gu Manxue stopped walking and just looked at his back. All the thoughts in her heart crumbled at that moment. Love, or not. It was clearly only three words, but no matter what, she could not say it, nor could she say it.

Chen Zhenxuan stopped and looked at her. He chuckled and continued to ask, ”You're in love with Chen Zhenxuan?”

Gu Manxue suddenly raised her head and met his cold eyes. For a moment, it was as if someone had seen through her thoughts, and she was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do.

His eyes instantly became dejected and he sighed. ”Actually, I should have thought of this long ago.”

”Zhenxuan, I …”

”Don't explain. I understand. He's a good person. If he bullies you in the future, come find me. I'll help you take revenge!” Chen Zhenxuan smiled and continued to walk forward.

The two walked on, one in front and one behind, as if nothing had happened.

”Little Snow, to be honest, because of the matter between your mother and my father in the past, I really did hate you.” Chen Zhenxuan sighed, regret filling his eyes. ”At first, I thought that if you didn't show up, we would have been a happy family.”

”I'm sorry.”

”Don't say you're sorry. It's not your fault. Furthermore, my mother has been going too far with you all these years. Xiao Xue, I truly like you.” Chen Zhenxuan laughed when he said the last sentence.

What was the point of saying it now? Would he still be able to win her over?

So it really was, he suddenly lost something that he did not cherish before, then he felt regret. He really regretted it now, why didn't he cherish it then and use the so-called emotional entanglement to tie it down?

Could he still hold her hand?

”Little Snow, can you give me another chance?”

Gu Ruoyun froze for a moment. She stared blankly at Chen Zhenxuan, the corners of her lips curling up into a faint smile.

This smile caused Chen Zhenxuan to tense up. Then, as if he had realized something, he released his hand resentfully and softly said, ”I'm sorry.”

”Zhenxuan, thank you for taking care of me for so many years. It's just that I really can't give you love.” Gu Ruoyun looked at him apologetically as a gentle smile flashed in her eyes.

”Love, what do you feel when you're with him?” Chen Zhenxuan asked, unwilling to give up.

The corner of Gu Manxue's mouth curled up. She thought about it for a long time before speaking, ”It must be the feeling of her heart pounding. If I'm with him, I'll be nervous.”
