Chapter 197 I have liked you a long time ago
"How can anyone like my brother..."
Gu Miao muttered softly.
Beside the bed, the man froze, lowered his head in astonishment, and looked into those clear eyes again, "What?"
"Ah?" Gu Miao blinked. After realizing something, she quickly let go of his hand, "Um, I mean..."
She scratched her face in embarrassment and tried to explain, but was at a loss for words.
In just a few seconds, He Zhihuai came back to his senses.
There seemed to be something brewing in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.
"I'll get a towel."
He looked away.
This time Gu Miao didn't stop him, she just watched him come and go, gradually moving away.
Before his figure completely disappeared from sight, Gu Miao called him softly, "Congratulations Zhihuai."
In her memory, she never called him by his name.
Every time he opens his mouth, it's the elder brother or the second elder brother.
It was obviously just a name, but for some reason, when it came out of her mouth, it felt inexplicably lingering.
Like a call from a lover, ambiguous and exciting.
He stood at the end of the corridor, and the warm light from one side flowed silently down his shoulders, entangled with his shadow.
He didn't turn around.
But he didn't leave either.
Quietly bathe in the light and listen to her:
"It's not because I like my brother."
Her voice was so small and soft, but fortunately he still heard her.
If the room hadn't been too quiet, he would have been unable to control himself and returned to her to ask for confirmation again and again.
But he couldn't pass by, and she would shrink up after passing by.
"Actually, actually..."
She was hesitating, or choosing her words.
His heart was beating wildly, and He Zhihuai knew for the first time what it meant to be itchy.
I really want to know what she is going to say next.
That sense of impatient anticipation was even more nervous than when the results came out in the exam.
The clenched fists at his sides wanted to be hidden.
Unfortunately, his coat came off.
As a result, the urgent mood was clearly exposed in the air, with nowhere to escape.
He didn't know how much time passed, maybe it was just a minute or two, but to him, seconds seemed like years.
Finally, in the silence, her voice hit his eardrums again.
This time, her voice was raised, as if she was afraid that he could not hear clearly, and she gathered enough strength to speak: "Maybe it may be strange to say this, but it is indeed the case."
"A long, long time ago."
"I already liked you before you knew me."
"So, this kind of feeling is never for my brother."
"I don't know if you can understand it. Anyway, I have known you for a long time."
"Before we met."
"I probably never said that when I jumped into the sea last time, I was very conflicted and sad that you didn't appear in front of me at the last moment to stop me."
He Zhihuai swallowed hard, and it became difficult to breathe.
"However, I felt extremely lucky later."
"Because I know that if you really show up, I might not be able to leave."
"I don't quite know how to express my feelings for you now."
"Somewhat complicated."
Because of the blackening value, Gu Miao was unable to express her true inner thoughts directly.
To put it simply, she was very sure before that she liked He Zhihuai.
She also hopes that if he can like her too, the two of them can escape to a distant place together and start their lives again.
But now, she has no such thoughts.
Whether he likes her or not, or whether she likes him or not,
In her opinion, these are no longer that important.
If there is, it’s the icing on the cake, if not, it doesn’t matter.
Moreover, her feelings are very complicated now.
It can only be said that she still likes him, but she is not sure if she only likes him.
How can a man hang himself from a tree? These trees should bow for her.
After a long silence, the figure opposite shook and slowly turned around.
Gu Miao couldn't see his face clearly from the distance, so she didn't know what his expression was now.
Probably laughing.
"I understand."
He was really smiling, "Just liking it is enough."
"It's my pleasure."
"I'm very happy to hear your words. This is the happiest thing for me this year besides knowing that you are still alive."
"I know you have a lot of choices. In the final analysis, it's because I'm not strong enough."
"If I could protect you early in the morning, we wouldn't have these problems."

"So, you don't have to understand me. I know very well the reasons for the current situation, and I also have my own 'contribution'."
"I will not force you to make a choice, not now or ever."
"As long as you want, I will always be with you."
"Even as an older brother."
"As long as you need me."
Gu Miao's eyelashes trembled.
She understood what He Zhihuai said.
He really knows everything.
He knew everything about her and knew that what she said now was an attempt to retain her.
So now, he clearly told her that even if he had no status, he would not leave her.
From beginning to end, he never had the thought of leaving.
Even though he was often driven by jealousy, he never forced anything.
The only time he lost control was when he was in constant contact, his deafening heartbeat made him uncontrollably want to get closer to her.
Only at this time will he say, can he not just be regarded as his brother...
He doesn't care about anything else.
In other words, it's useless to care.
She couldn't be anyone's accessory, and he didn't want her to be.
To put it simply, it was never that she couldn't live without him, but that he couldn't live without her.
So, if you have to stay with her in a safe identity.
Even my brother.
So can he.
There is no need to worry about those minor details.
He couldn't embarrass her or embarrass her.
……
outside the door.
Yuesong slowly lowered his raised hand.
At the elevator entrance, Xiao Li came out and bumped into him.
"Hey boss? When did you come back? Didn't you say you were working overtime?"
Before she finished speaking, the man opposite threw the thing in his hand to her.
After taking a look at the logo on the bag, Xiao Li was surprised, "Is this dinner for Miss Gu?"
"No, a midnight snack for you."
"Ah? Miss Gu is probably not asleep yet. I'll go see her off..."
"Come back." Yuesong pulled the person back, "Get down."
Xiao Li was put into the elevator with a confused look on his face. He looked up and saw that he had followed him in.
"Aren't you going to see Miss Gu? She was very unwell during the day. It's a plus to go at this time."
Yuesong lit a cigarette and said, "Someone is already caring about her."
"Oh? Is it Boss Gu? Tell me, why does the car at the door look so familiar?"
"Who are you talking about?" There was a snap, and the lighter fell down.
"Boss Gu. Didn't you come back together?"
