Watching Gu Mingzhu’s dispirited figure retreating.

A smile spreads across Liu Ruyan’s lips.

It seems that all the things she had investigated were true.

Xia Yangyang breathed a sigh of relief as she stepped out of the banquet hall.

She was wearing high heels today.

She had accidentally sprained her ankle, fortunately, there was a chair on the rooftop.

Xia Yangyang took off her shoes and began to rub her foot.

“Here you are!”

A cold voice sounded from beside her.

A hand was extended in front of her, holding a tube of Yunnan Baiyao ointment.

Looking up, Xia Yangyang saw Gu Zhaohan’s face.

Xia Yangyang was a little taken aback, “Why are you here?”

Gu Zhaohan explained, “I followed you. Applying this ointment to your sprained area should help.”

Xia Yangyang took the ointment, “How did you get this sprain ointment?”

Gu Zhaohan sat down next to her, “I saw you sprain your ankle and asked a staff member for it.”

“Thankyou.”

Xia Yangyang suddenly didn’t know what to say.

Xia Yangyang squeezed the ointment onto her ankle.

Silence…

Seeing Gu Zhaohan again brought a wave of complicated feelings she couldn’t explain.

And in this deserted place, it was just the two of them.

If Gu Qichen saw them, he might get jealous again.

Xia Yangyang finished applying the ointment and said, “I should go back.”

Gu Zhaohan was silent for a moment before suddenly asking, “Are you avoiding me?”

Xia Yangyang was inexplicably guilty, “Of course not, I just feel a bit cold.”

“You don’t have to pretend. I can tell you’ve been avoiding me these past days. Even in school, when you see me, you pretend not to. Is it because of my uncle?”

“My uncle is just too paranoid.”

Thinking about this, Xia Yangyang could not help but feel irritated.

However, she realized that her statement might not have been appropriate.

Would Gu Zhaohan find something off?

Xia Yangyang quickly tried to clarify, “I didn’t mean that. Your uncle isn’t suspicious of us…no, I mean, he’s just overly worried and you’re not involved. It’s not…”

Xia Yangyang suddenly felt like her brain had crashed. However she tried, she just couldn’t get her explanation across and seemed to be digging herself a deeper hole.

But Gu Zhaohan’s expression did not change, and she did not know if he had understood what she was saying.

Xia Yangyang fell silent.

She took a deep breath. It was better to clear things up. Gu Qichen had also asked her to sort things out herself previously.

Xia Yangyang finally spoke, “Perhaps we have been practicing together for too long, and your uncle is a bit jealous.”

Xia Yangyang felt extremely awkward, “It must sound ridiculous to you that he’s such a petty person. We’ve been fighting over this, but now I have let it go. We have been upright, and time will prove everything.”

“Yangyang, do you read Jin Yong?” Gu Zhaohan suddenly interrupted her, calmly.

Xia Yangyang was slightly startled, “Yes, why?”

Gu Zhaohan’s tone was a bit cold.

“In Jin Yong’s The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, one part made a deep impression on me. Zhou Zhiruo said to Zhang Wuji, ‘We were once engaged, but now my husband is at the brink of death. Besides, I spared your life today. Everyone will say that I am still fond of you. If I ask for your help again, all the heroes in the world will call me shameless, fickly as flowing water.’ Zhang Wuji replied, ‘As long as we are true to ourselves, why should we care about what others say?’ Zhou Zhiruo, however, retorted, ‘What if I feel guilty?”‘

After Gu Zhaohan finished speaking, the surroundings were peaceful and quiet.

Xia Yangyang felt as if her heart suddenly plummeted into the abyss.

Then she heard Gu Zhaohan’s cold voice echoing next to her, “Yangyang, what if I feel guilty?”
