[May You Love Me as I Love You] Chapter 4: Cloudy

As planned, they were to return on Sunday morning. After breakfast, everyone was busy packing their luggage. Just then, the class monitor received a phone call saying that the pre-arranged vehicle had a breakdown and they had to temporarily arrange for another one.

This was not a big problem at first, but everyone only found out when they arrived that the temporary vehicle was much smaller than the original one, and there weren't enough seats for everyone.

It was too late to find another vehicle. The car from Tongxi Town to Xuchuan had already left this morning, and to take another one, they had to walk to the outskirts of the town. For a moment, everyone was undecided, as it was not appropriate for anyone to be separated from the main group.

When Gu Lixing's car passed by, Gu Cheng's problem hadn't been resolved yet. Seeing a group of people gathered together with long faces, he told Han Xun to stop the car.

"What's going on?"

"The pre-arranged car broke down, and the temporary one is not as big, so there's one extra person and we don't know what to do," Gu Cheng explained the situation to Gu Lixing.

Gu Lixing generously suggested, "I'm heading back anyway. Why don't you two take my car?"

Song Er was actually unwilling, but this was the best solution at the moment, and there was no reason to refuse.

Almost as soon as she got into the car, Song Er put on her headphones, closed her eyes, and leaned back in her seat without saying a word. Gu Cheng, on the other hand, chatted with Gu Lixing a little after getting in the car.

"Uncle, why did you suddenly come to Tongxi Town?"

"To discuss some business."

"To Tongxi Town for business?"

If he remembered correctly, the family didn't have any businesses in Tongxi Town, and it wasn't that close to Xuchuan. They would rarely come here specifically for business, and since he was here, he didn't even say hi to them.

"It was a last-minute arrangement," Gu Lixing said in a cold tone, clearly unwilling to talk about it further.

When Song Er heard this, she subconsciously glanced at Gu Lixing, her eyebrows furrowed.

She was probably more aware of the reason for that last-minute decision. But everything was over. Both that wrong accident and the extra possibility had been ended by her the night before last.

But even though she had made up her mind, why did it still hurt so much? In the past two days, she had tried her best not to think about Gu Lixing and tried to get along with Gu Cheng, but she found that she couldn't.

After returning to the Gu family's house, she got out of the car and went straight to her room, not even bothering to unpack her luggage. She held a copy of A Brief History of Time, but she couldn't read a single page and just stared blankly out the window.

Until Su Xie's phone call came.

Song Er picked up the phone. "Su Xie?"

"Xiao Er, how are the preparations for the performance going?"

"They should be fine."

Su Xie couldn't help but add another word of advice, "Then good luck. This is your first performance in the country, you have to do your best."

"Mhm," Song Er replied somewhat absentmindedly.

Su Xie immediately heard it. "Something on your mind?"

Song Er was silent for a long time, as if she was making some kind of decision. Finally, she aasked seriously, "Su Xie, I'm starting to doubt if the decision to get engaged to Gu Cheng is the right one. I'm so afraid that I'll aaccidentally hurt him."

"Because of Gu Lixing, right?"

He knew a little about Song Er's situation. With what she had told him, it wasn't difficult to figure out the reason behind it.

"How did you--" Song Er didn't remember mentioning Gu Lixing to Su Xie.

She heard the person on the other end laugh lightly. "I guessed it. When we had dinner together that day, you deliberately kept talking to me, and I could tell."

"This matter..."

"Don't worry, I won't say anything," Su Xie consoled her. "However, what's bothering you now is probably not the correctness of the decision to get engaged to Gu Cheng, but that you are fundamentally unwilling to get engaged to Gu Cheng."

"Su Xie--" Song Er hadn't expected Su Xie to say it so bluntly.

"It's obvious that you don't like Gu Cheng, and at the same time, you can't let go of Gu Lixing. And the engagement between you and Gu Cheng, as well as the wishes of both families, makes it impossible for you to refuse Gu Cheng, so you naturally feel a sense of guilt."

Su Xie's analysis was very thorough, but in the end, he wasn't Song Er. He couldn't make a decision for her or blame her. He could only advise, "Instead of debating the correctness of the decision, why don't you listen to what your heart really wants?"

"Su Xie, thank you."

"Prepare well for the performance."

There were some things that Su Xie couldn't interfere with too much. He gave her a few reminders about the performance and then hung up.

Gu Cheng could also see Gu Lixing's feelings for Song Er.

He let Song Er go to his attic, agreed to tutor her, later accompanied her to practice, took her out, and in the end, didn't get engaged to Jiang Jingjing. How could Gu Cheng not see all these things?

The outside world thought that Jiang Jingjing had called off the engagement, but anyone who had really interacted with them could see that Jiang Jingjing liked Gu Lixing. How could she suddenly refuse to get engaged in that situation?

However, he respected Gu Lixing and believed that he would never do anything out of line. But now, it seemed that he needed to give him a subtle reminder.

After dinner, Gu Cheng chose a time to go to Gu Lixing's study to find him.

"Something wrong?" Gu Lixing looked up from his computer and glanced at Gu Cheng, wondering why he would suddenly come to him.

"Nothing, just came to chat with you for a bit," Gu Cheng said generously as he walked to the sofa and sat down.

Gu Lixing followed and poured Gu Cheng a cup of coffee. Thinking that it was late, he finally changed it to plain water. "About your studies?"

Gu Cheng smiled, took the water, and shook his head. "No, about my love life."

"Love life?" Gu Lixing's face paused for a moment, and then he continued, "Aren't you and Song Er doing well?"

Gu Cheng nodded thoughtfully, and then looked troubled. "That's what I'm saying, but a while ago, Xiao Er said she wasn't mentally prepared yet and wanted to get engaged later. Xiao Er is so excellent, what if someone takes her away one day?"

"How could that happen?" Gu Lixing's face returned to its usual gentle look. "She knows what she should do. She won't be easily taken away by others."

"Is that so?" Gu Cheng laughed lightly and said with a sigh, "After you say that, I really want to get engaged right away and make the title of 'fiancée' official, so that I can discourage anyone who dares to covet my Xiao Er."

Gu Lixing looked at him, took a slow sip of his coffee. "You have to tell Song Er about that."

"Indeed," Gu Cheng agreed, and subtly changed the topic. "Speaking of which, Uncle, you also have to work hard, otherwise Sister Jingjing will be taken away by someone else."

"There's nothing between me and Jiang Jingjing." He adjusted his glasses as he spoke. "What's with you? You seem to be worried about a lot of things today."

Gu Cheng smiled. "Not really. I'm just worried that Shu Le's grandmother will be anxious if Xiao Er and I get engaged and you're still single."

"She won't."

"Then I won't bother you anymore, Uncle."

Gu Lixing stared at the direction Gu Cheng left, leisurely stirring the coffee in his cup and shaking his head helplessly.

Gu Cheng's purpose was too obvious. His every word revolved around Song Er, as if he was afraid that others wouldn't know she was his fiancée. How could Gu Lixing not understand the hidden meaning?

He understood the logic, but if he could really control that much, he should have been able to control himself three years ago.

But Song Er's words made him unable to not care.

After returning from Tongxi Town, everyone seemed to be very busy. Song Er was busy with her performance, running between the theater troupe and the school, and was rarely seen at home. Gu Cheng also started a new project. Besides going to school, he was basically at the company every day, and he rarely even saw Song Er.

As for Gu Lixing, although she didn't know what he was busy with, he wasn't seen much either. He would only come back when everyone was about to rest and would leave before everyone was up.

Song Er thought that this was good, as it aavoided the aawkwardness of running into each other.

In the middle of all this, Carrie made a video call to her, first congratulating her on her successful performance, and then telling her that there would be two important competitions in the first half of next year and that she could start preparing now if she had time.

Song Er agreed. Those two competitions had a high status internationally, and the participants were all remarkable figures in the ballet world, so the preparation period would indeed be a little longer.

After talking about business, the two of them chatted casually about other things, such as the professional level here, the new students she had taken in, and any new talent that had recently appeared.

After hanging up the phone, Song Er happened to see Gu Ye sitting in the backyard pulling petals, looking preoccupied.

"Xiao Yezi, who angered you?"

Seeing that it was her, Gu Ye seemed to have found a savior. "Sister Xiao Er, do you think I'm pretty?"

"What, did someone say you're not pretty?" Song Er asked with a smile. Gu Ye resembled Gu Mingjing more. Although she lacked the gentle demeanor of Zhou Yuwei, she had a bit more liveliness and cuteness.

Gu Ye shook her head. "No, it's just that my class monitor asked me to go to the library this weekend."

Song Er couldn't help but smile and tease her. "Our Xiao Yezi is all grown up."

"No," Gu Ye quickly defended herself. "The class monitor and I are just going to read. Besides, he rejected the most popular girl in our school a few days ago, saying that he doesn't like ugly people."

Song Er nodded thoughtfully, finally understanding. "Xiao Yezi, your class monitor has very high standards. How about you ask him that question again this weekend?"

Song Er had told the Gu family about the performance early on. Old Lady Gu really wanted to go, but considering that the performance might run late and her health hadn't been good lately, Song Er had to coax her and say that she would dance for her alone on her birthday.

Gu Ye was, of course, the most excited. She had missed the Xuda school anniversary celebration because of class, and she said that she definitely couldn't miss this one no matter what.

As the performance day approached, Song Er was basically at the theater troupe whenever she was free. Although the troupe didn't have too many demands for her and even considered the short preparation time, the program was the same as her winning performance in the competition. However, compared to the competition, Song Er put a lot of effort into the lighting and stage design.

Because of Song Er's reputation and the publicity that Xuda had done early on, the theater was full on the day of the performance. The entire Gu family went. To accommodate Old Lady Gu, the theater specially arranged for them to sit together.

Gu Cheng drove Song Er there early in the morning. After all, she had a lot of things to do, like rehearsing and getting her makeup done. Not long after Song Er arrived, Su Xie also came. He knew some people in the theater troupe and also served as Song Er's agent, so it was reasonable for him to come early.

Song Er was dizzy with busyness, and the two of them didn't have time to chat. However, Gu Cheng, who was waiting on the side, chatted with Su Xie for a bit. "Hello, Mr. Su."

Gu Cheng had already heard Song Er mention Su Xie before. Now he was also teaching at Xuda, so it was the first time they had met in person.

"Gu Cheng?" Su Xie asked with a guess. After seeing Gu Cheng nod, he continued, "I hear about you from Song Er often."

"You came really early."

"I came to see a few friends and also to keep an eye on Xiao Er's things."

The two of them chatted briefly, and then Su Xie's friend came to look for him, and they parted ways.

Song Er's rehearsal in the morning was over, and she didn't have any arrangements in the afternoon. She planned to practice again and then get her hair, makeup, and costume ready. Although Gu Cheng didn't have to stay with her, Song Er had no reason to stop him from staying.

The performance started at seven in the evening and lasted for an hour and a half. Song Er's program was originally scheduled for the end, but in the end, for the overall integrity of the performance, it was moved up a few spots.

The program was decided after listening to Su Xie's suggestion. He said that the first performance had to be amazing, so they decided to use her winning performance after discussing it. She had also consulted Carrie for her opinion in the middle.

From beginning to end, Gu Lixing hadn't said a single word about the performance. Song Er had been deliberately avoiding him during this time, and he hadn't looked for her either. Gu Ye had invited him, but she heard that he was busy and didn't have time.

The moment Song Er stepped onto the stage, when she saw Gu Lixing's figure at a glance, her heart anxiously skipped a beat. He had still come. He was sitting next to Gu Ye, staring intently at the stage.

A hint of surprise appeared on Song Er's face, but she quickly covered it up. She was wearing a fiery red dress today. Standing on the stage, with the effect of the lighting and background, she looked like a rosebud about to bloom.

"Uncle, you still came?" Gu Ye asked when she saw Gu Lixing.

"Mhm," Gu Lixing didn't defend himself.

He came right on time. As soon as he sat down, it was Song Er's performance. As the music started, Song Er also started to move. Her body gradually began to stretch, and in the end, she transformed into a fairy born from a flower, lightly dancing in the midst of it. Every jump and every spin seemed to pull the audience's hearts along with her.

Gu Lixing was expressionless the whole time. He had thought about hiding her before. Such a beautiful and charming girl should only be seen by him. But now, they were drifting further and further apart.

But suddenly, Gu Lixing's face changed, and the hand that had been thoughtfully tapping his knee also stopped.

That's right, he noticed. His flower fairy was injured, as if her wings had been suddenly broken.

That last move should have been a jump followed by a spin, but the spin was gone. The series of movements that followed also became a little difficult for her.

Song Er had practiced this performance thousands of times, and she was so familiar with those difficult movements that she could land in the exact same spot every time. It was impossible for such a mistake to happen.

As soon as the performance ended, before anyone could react, Gu Lixing rushed to the backstage.

"What's wrong?"

There was already a circle of people in the backstage. Everyone had already found out about the accident on stage. Song Er was standing on her tiptoes, leaning on Gu Cheng, her lips pursed without a word. It was Gu Cheng who explained.

"She probably twisted her ankle."

Gu Lixing wanted to rush over to check on her, but after noticing Song Er's gaze, he stopped himself and said to Gu Cheng, "I'll go get the car. You take her to the entrance and wait for me." With that, he rushed towards the parking lot.

Song Er looked at his retreating figure, her mind heavy. Just now, when she saw Gu Lixing rush in, she was easily moved.

Gu Ye, who had rushed over later, was about to ask about the situation. She saw that Gu Lixing had already run far away and grumbled softly, "What's wrong with Uncle?"

Song Er had covered it up very well on stage. If Gu Lixing hadn't been in such a hurry to leave, and Gu Ye hadn't followed to check on her, no one would have known that she had accidentally gotten injured during the performance.

But she didn't quite understand. It was understandable for Gu Cheng to be anxious, but what about Uncle...

She went back and told everyone the situation. They had originally planned to go to the hospital to see Song Er, but considering that it was getting late and Old Lady Gu was there, they finally listened to Gu Lixing's decision and went home to wait for news.

The hospital had been notified in aadvance. As soon as they arrived, Song Er was aarranged for a checkup. The current situation couldn't be confirmed yet. Gu Cheng stayed with her the whole time, and Gu Lixing followed behind, silent.

The doctor said it was a twisted ankle aaccompanied by a sprained ligament. It wasn't too serious, but she probably wouldn't be able to go to her professional classes for the next few days, and the Gu family wouldn't aallow her to go out.

Gu Lixing got the medical bill from the doctor, went downstairs to pay, and then went to the pharmacy to get the medicine. When he came back, the doctor was treating Song Er and told her to rest well for the next few days and be careful not to twist it again.

When they returned to the Gu family's house, as soon as the car aarrived at the entrance, Aunt Zhou came over. When she saw Song Er being carried out of the car by Gu Cheng, she aasked anxiously, "How is she?"

"She twisted her ankle," Gu Lixing said, handing the medicine to Aunt Zhou and briefly mentioning it. He then drove the car to the garage to park it.

When he went in, he saw Gu Ye running down from upstairs and rushing to Song Er's side. "Sister Xiao Er, are you okay?"

Song Er was still in Gu Cheng's arms, feeling a little uncomfortable. To reassure Gu Ye, she still replied, "I'm fine. I'll be able to jump around in three days."

The usually gentle Gu Cheng gave her a rare angry glare and warned her fiercely, "Try to be so careless again next time!"

Song Er turned her face to the side in a huff. On the way back in the car, Gu Cheng had scolded her the whole way, and she couldn't refute him, so she was still sulking.

Gu Cheng carried her to her room, his expression full of anger, but his movements were careful, as if he was afraid of touching her right foot.

Not long after, Zhou Yuwei and Shu Le also came over, both concerned about her injury. They told her to rest well and not let it affect her dancing in the future.

Song Er had been worried about this at first. She was so nervous on the way to the hospital that she didn't say a word. After she got to the hospital, she was relieved when the doctor said it wasn't a big deal and that with enough rest and treatment, she could avoid this phenomenon.

Knowing that she needed to rest, Zhou Yuwei and Shu Le didn't bother her any further. They simply gave a few words of instruction and left.

After everyone left, Song Er let Aunt Zhou help her to the bathroom to remove her makeup and take a bath. Aunt Zhou had originally forbidden it, as her foot was already sprained, and it would be bad if she had an accident in the bathroom. But Song Er insisted, so she had to compromise.

After getting ready, she was helped back to her room by Aunt Zhou. It was getting late, and there was nothing else to do, so Song Er told Aunt Zhou to go rest. Only then did she realize that the medicine on her foot had been washed off during her bath.

Song Er was about to put some medicine on herself, but she found that the medicine had been left on the dresser opposite her by Aunt Zhou. There was nothing she could do but hop over on one leg.

After a lot of effort, she finally got the medicine. When she turned around, she saw someone standing behind her. She was startled, and as she held onto the dresser, the other person also reached out and held her.

"You always try to be so tough."

Gu Lixing was referring to the fact that Song Er had just hopped over on one leg, but Song Er heard another meaning. "I don't have the right to act weak and spoiled."

The other person seemed to have not heard the sarcasm in her words. He took the medicine from her hand. When he went to help her, she pushed him away. He simply picked her up and tossed her onto the bed, avoiding her injured leg with his perfect movements.

Song Er knew that any resistance she put up at this moment would be ineffective. Gu Lixing was completely taking advantage of her injury to get what he wanted.

Gu Lixing's expression was as if nothing had happened between them. The words she said in Tongxi Town were forgotten, and the half-month of ignoring each other never happened.

He opened the spray and, with a cold face, began to lecture her. "Didn't you rehearse before the performance? Didn't you check your costume and props? Your movements aren't smooth enough. Is this the first time you've danced? How can you even get yourself into this state!"

He had probably wanted to scold her for a long time. If Gu Cheng hadn't been there at first, and then she was surrounded by so many Gu family members later, he would never have kept these questions to himself until now.

"It was just an accident." Even though she had already told Gu Cheng in the car and believed that Gu Lixing had heard her at the time, Song Er still explained. As for why her dance shoes suddenly broke during the performance, she also had doubts. Logically, she had checked these things a long time ago, and there shouldn't have been any problems.

Gu Lixing unexpectedly didn't continue. After spraying the medicine on her wound, he reached out and gently maaaged her ankle. After a long pause, she heard him speak. "Can you please let me feel a little more at ease?"

Why did Song Er hear helplessness in his voice?

She hadn't not noticed Gu Lixing tonight. He had arrived backstage at almost the same time as Gu Cheng. But Gu Cheng came to congratulate her, while he, at a glance, could tell that she had been injured by a mistake in her movements.

He was so anxious, with a rare look of concern. She rarely saw Gu Lixing like this, just because of an inconspicuous mistake she made during her performance.

After that, she barely heard him say a word. His expression was cold, and she only saw him frown slightly when the doctor at the hospital asked her to show her ankle during the examination.

Song Er originally wanted to argue with him, but faced with Gu Lixing's current actions, the way he maaaged her ankle was so familiar, and the pressure was just right. It didn't seem like the first time he had done it.

He seemed to have read her mind, and Gu Lixing explained in a cold voice, "What kind of person do you think I am? Do you think I've done this before?"

Song Er hadn't planned to ask, but after he said that, she became upset.

"Then I don't need you to do it."

"Song Er!" Gu Lixing quickly grabbed her leg as she tried to pull it back. His face had a rare look of panic.

He had indeed never done this for anyone else, but just now, he had specifically called Dr. Chen and asked about these steps in such detail that Dr. Chen became a little annoyed.

After he got mad at her, Song Er had no choice but to shut up. From six years ago until now, Gu Lixing's seriousness had become deeply ingrained in her heart. When she made a mistake, she never dared to cause trouble again.

With his movements and the effect of the medicine, her ankle gradually started to feel warm.

Was it because it was too quiet? Song Er heard her heart beat faster, and her cheeks turned red without her realizing it. She could only try to find a topic to ease the atmosphere.

"Gu Lixing, don't think that..."

"Shut up." He knew what she was going to say, so he interrupted her before she could say another word. His slightly softened face immediately turned cold again.

It was a threat, but now, this kind of threat was obviously effective. At least for now, Song Er really didn't say another word.

When Gu Ye finished her homework and was about to go and see how Song Er's foot was, she just opened the door a crack. When she saw the scene inside, she immediately stopped.

Song Er was half-lying on the bed, playing on her phone, while Gu Lixing was maaaging her ankle. His expression was serious and focused, but not lacking in gentleness. The two of them, who were already charming in their own ways, looked so pleasing to the eye at that moment.

Realizing that it seemed inconvenient for her to go in now, Gu Ye quickly retreated. She was about to leave when she bumped into Gu Cheng.

"What are you doing?" Gu Cheng asked.

Gu Ye was startled and quickly said, "I was going to check on Sister Xiao Er, but she seems to be asleep."

This made Gu Cheng's plan to see her before bed disappear. After the two of them said goodnight to each other, they went back to their rooms.

Gu Ye didn't understand why she had said that just now. She just thought that if Gu Cheng were to go down now and see that scene, things would probably get complicated.

They also heard the commotion outside the door. Compared to Song Er's nervousness, Gu Lixing seemed much more at ease, not afraid at all that Gu Cheng would come in and accidentally see everything.

After they all left, Song Er stared at the hands on her ankle. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she gave up.

She didn't know when Gu Lixing left. She had fallen into a deep sleep last night, and when she woke up, Gu Lixing was no longer in the room.

Su Xie's phone call came early the next morning.

"Xiao Er, are you okay?" Su Xie aasked with concern. He was in the aaudience at the time and didn't notice that Song Er was injured in time. Since Song Er was also rushed to the hospital, he didn't have time to follow her and only found out about it after the performance ended.

"I just twisted my ankle. It's not a big deal," Song Er said, subconsciously glancing at her ankle. Although it was still very swollen, it had gone down a lot. She had to admit that this was Gu Lixing's doing.

Su Xie wouldn't believe it so easily. "A twisted ankle is not a small thing. If Carrie finds out, even I won't be able to escape a scolding from her."

"You'll keep it a secret for me, right?" When Song Er mentioned Carrie, she also felt a little guilty.

Su Xie certainly didn't have a habit of talking about other people's business, but he still asked about her injury again with concern. "Is the problem really not a big deal?"

Song Er quickly explained, "It's not a big deal. I just can't run and jump for a while."

"What about in the future?"

"The doctor said there would be no affect."

Su Xie finally felt relieved. "That's good."

"Su Xie, is the theater troupe okay?"

Just before the call ended, Song Er also asked about what she was worried about. When she was injured, Gu Lixing was so angry that she was really worried that he would cause trouble for the theater troupe.

"After the Gu family took your things from the theater, they never showed up again."

Song Er was a little surprised by this, but she didn't ask any more questions.

After hanging up with Su Xie, Song Er stayed in her room for a while. She was about to get out of bed to get ready when Gu Cheng came in and said he would take her to the hospital.

She probably couldn't refuse this. When she passed the living room, she happened to run into Shu Le. Song Er greeted her, and she just nodded faintly without asking anything else.

In the Gu family, Shu Le was always cold towards people, especially those who were close to Gu Mingjing. After all, there was a layer of distance, and it was inconvenient for her to interfere too much. She also considered Gu Liangping's position and didn't want to cause any trouble.

They didn't have to wait long at the hospital for a checkup. The doctor took a look and said there were no major problems. He also aarranged for a maage. It was already noon by the time everything was done.

The two of them decided to eat lunch outside and then go back. Gu Cheng had something to do at school in the afternoon. When they got to the Gu family's house, Song Er aasked Gu Cheng to help her to the backyard. A little while later, Aunt Zhou brought a pot of fruit tea, which Gu Cheng had probably aasked her to do before he left.

When Gu Ye came to find her, she was half-lying on a lounge chair, listening to Schubert's piano music to p the time.

"Sister Xiao Er, is your foot feeling better?"

Song Er quickly took off her headphones, sat up straight, and said with a smile, "It's a lot better," while pouring her a cup of tea.

Gu Ye didn't stand on ceremony. She took a sip and, remembering what she had seen last night, didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I saw Uncle in your room last night."

Song Er's heart couldn't help but skip a beat. She cautiously observed Gu Ye's expression, aassessing the meaning behind her words, and explained while pretending to be calm, "I was about to get some medicine, but my foot was inconvenient, and he just happened to be paing by, so he helped me."

"But I clearly saw him maaaging your foot."

"That... that's because he was afraid I wouldn't be able to apply the medicine well."

Gu Ye didn't seem to care about these things. Instead, she leaned closer to Song Er and aasked curiously in a low voice, "Sister Xiao Er, when Uncle was maaging your ankle, did your heart skip a beat?"

"Huh?" Song Er was startled and didn't react for a moment. Then she smiled a little awkwardly. "At that time, I was scared to death by his gloomy face. How could I have time for my heart to skip a beat? Besides, even if it did, it shouldn't be because of him."

Gu Ye thought about it and felt that she had a point. But she still couldn't help but sigh, "But last night was the first time I've ever seen Uncle so nervous."

"Your brother was also very nervous, okay? When we went to the hospital, looking at him, I felt like I had a terminal illness," Song Er said, subtly changing the subject.

When Gu Cheng was mentioned, Gu Ye became unhappy. "He's only ever nervous about things related to you."

"Is Xiao Yezi jealous?"

"I don't care at all."

The two of them chatted and laughed, and they finally got past the topic. Gu Ye had only been curious and had only aasked a few questions because of her aadmiration for Gu Lixing. She hadn't thought about anything else, but others wouldn't see it that way. After all, she was Gu Cheng's fiancée, and she was a generation below Gu Lixing.

She and Gu Lixing could never escape this.
