Chapter 287 The expected result
Gu Youxuan's emotions were a little complicated for a while.
Although the boy in front of her was her classmate for six years, he was just an ordinary classmate.
If the other party hadn't followed him this time, she probably wouldn't have had any interactions with him except for the class reunion.
The definition of their relationship will only be that of former classmates.
She knows that she is good-looking, and she does not think highly of herself, but she does not belittle herself either. However, in her opinion, a temporary crush is just a short-lived obsession with appearance. After graduation and separation, this hazy relationship will come to an end. This is over.
However, this person has been persistent until now.
She was not unmoved, so even though she was being followed, even though she was angry at first, she still did not call the police.
However, we can no longer let it go like this.
"I'm sorry, I don't like you."
Gu Youxuan suppressed the complicated emotions in her eyes and seriously rejected Li Liang's confession.
……
When he heard the words "I'm sorry", no, I should say, when Gu Youxuan said the first word, Li Liang knew the result.
Sure enough, "I don't like you."
It seemed that all the colors had faded from Li Liang's eyes and body, and his world was pale.
He stood there in a daze, his whole body stiff and unable to move.
He didn't know how to react or what to say?
His mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out.
It's not an unexpected answer, it can even be said to be a completely expected answer.
He knew it all along.
Therefore, no matter how much he longed for it in his heart, he always suppressed himself, refused to confess, and did not dare to confess.
Always living in self-deception.
How pitiful and pathetic.
Nowadays, there is no such falsehood anymore?
The corners of his eyes felt hot and water dropped.
Li Liang's head dropped lower.
The fingers holding the sachet turned green and white, and there were veins on the back of the hand.
He didn't understand that it was just his secret love, a secret love that he knew was hopeless, but now the expected result was actually in front of him. Why was he so sad?
Aren’t you already prepared for rejection?
But, is it really over?
The secret love that had persisted throughout his adolescence did not end as he expected.
He finally plucked up the courage to stand in front of the person he had longed for and said the words he had buried in his heart for many years. In this way... he could be considered to have brought an end to his secret love that, even if it was not perfect, was not so regrettable. Bar?
At least, he told the girl he loved about his love.
At least, this relationship is not a one-man show for him, right?
……
Looking at the boy opposite with his head lowered, the heaviness and sadness made Gu Youxuan's eyes feel a little bitter.
She pursed her lips, but said nothing.
What could she say?
She was unable to accept his feelings or reciprocate his feelings.
No matter what she says at this time, even if it is out of good intentions and comfort, it may irritate the person opposite.
She didn't know how to express it without seeming to have the slightest bit of self-righteous sympathy and pity.
So, she would rather keep her mouth shut.
His eyes were as gentle and clear as before.
……
Li Liang finally noticed the strange silence at this time. He could feel Gu Youxuan's eyes focused on him. There was no meaning of embarrassment in it, but a kind of... tenderness that was rare in her.
He couldn't help but move his extremely stiff fingers, and the touch of the silky fabric on his fingertips made him look over subconsciously.
A flash of bright red pierced his eyes, which hurt a little, but made him sober.
He blinked, blinking away the thin fog in front of his eyes, and the things in front of him gradually became clear.
This sachet... Li Liang gently rubbed it with his fingertips, seeming to have some courage to face it again. He wanted to say something, but he knew Gu Youxuan was waiting for him to speak.
He didn't want to appear too embarrassed. Even if this confession, which was six years late, failed, he wanted to perform as well as possible.
But when he opened his mouth, he found that his throat seemed to be stuck, and he couldn't make any sound for a while.
The dry throat seemed to have a burning sensation.
It was as if all the moisture had drained out through the corners of his eyes.
He swallowed hard, and the suffocation that was difficult to swallow made him frown in discomfort.
With great difficulty, he finally made a voice, hoarse, dry, and astringent, almost at the volume of a whisper.
"Hug, sorry."
Gu Youxuan heard it clearly.
"Why apologize?"
Gu Youxuan's rhetorical question made Li Liang flustered and confused. Why did he apologize? He didn't know, he just said it subconsciously.
He didn't know what he could say other than apologize.
But what is he apologizing for?
Apologize? Did he finally muster up the courage to confess to Gu Youxuan?
Apologize that this lazy toad actually has the wishful thinking of eating a white swan?
Or apologize for wasting Gu Youxuan's time with his confession?
He doesn't know.
"I..."
Li Liang mumbled, looking confused, but couldn't say anything.
Gu Youxuan sighed silently.
She has always been straightforward and straightforward, so facing such a tangled situation really made her feel powerless.
"Li Liang."
"We have been classmates for six years. You know my character."
"Since you like me, why not be bolder and more straightforward?"
"There is nothing wrong with the fact that you like me."
"Why are you not confident?"
"I reject you just because I don't like you. Not because you are bad, just because I don't like you."
"What I like, no matter how bad it is, is still good in my eyes. What I don't like, no matter how good it is, has nothing to do with me."
"Do you understand?"
Li Liang listened silently. After the initial discomfort, his rationality gradually returned.
In fact, after such real pain passed, he also felt an indescribable sense of relief that filled his heart.
It's been six years, and he doesn't regret his six years of love, but later on he obviously got into trouble and became a little trapped in a cocoon.
"Thank you."
Li Liang slowly raised his head and looked into Gu Youxuan's eyes without avoiding it. He was there.
Even though there was no doubt, it still made him curl his lips.
"I'm sorry."
Gu Youxuan's smile that was about to show stopped because of this apology. The smile at the corner of Li Liang's mouth deepened a bit, "It's because of the follow-up during this period."
"I'm sorry."
It was because he fell into a demonic barrier that he actually did such an outrageous thing.
His rare boldness was used in the wrong place.
Now that I think about it, he is a bit incredible.
Fortunately, this time he used his boldness in the right place.
