The sun was blazing. Gu ci was staring at Chen Jinyao in front of him. Who knows how long it took for him to completely adjust his state of mind and remove that despondent look in his eyes.
“Your answer gets people thinking, you know?” He tried to position himself as an old friend and half-joked in a more friendly and affectionate way.
Chen Jinyao could not tell what he was thinking, but she can express her own stance. She smiled, “There’s really nothing to think about that.”
The cicadas buzzed in the background. Gu Ci moved his gaze away to a rainbow halo reflected from the bright sun.
Regret slowly overflowed from inside of him. He wanted to refute Chen Jinyao’s words in a careless tone, but then it doesn’t make sense. In the end, he gave up. Pursing his lips, he kept silent and did not say anything.
Chen Jinyao was very calm and continued speaking by herself.
Instead of saying she was standing in front of him, trying to explain things to him, it felt like he was just standing there, taking anything she could throw at him. At the very least, that was what he felt after hearing her speak. Still, he did not mind lending an ear.
“There was nobody else I liked before I met Yan Cheng.”
“But if I were to have met him during university, we wouldn’t really have been able to develop a relationship.” When she said this, Chen Jinyao tried her best to immerse herself in the feelings of the original Chen Jinyao. After she spoke, she narrowed her eyes in a smile that barely reached the depths. She straightened herself and said seriously, “I think I believe quite a lot in faith. The right place, right time, right man, I think all three are important factors, you can’t have one without the other.”
“I think it’s all three that got Yan Cheng and I together.” There was a sparkle in her eyes. While speaking about Yan Cheng, her face had suddenly turned softer. “After that, it was probably his own personal charm.”
All in all, if you put them together like this, then there was only one word to describe it: Fate.
“…” Gu Ci was not stupid. Only, he had just begun to miss the flavor of the cigarette he snubbed out earlier. It was too late to regret it, and he didn’t have the need to keep on asking either. After hanging his eyes and staying silent for a moment, he still smiled when he spoke again. It was a light smile. “Chen Jinyao, it really feels like you’ve changed quite a lot.”
