Gu Qimiao looked at him with disbelief. He ca over to grab her hand, but Gu Qimiao dodged and took a step back, saying, "I’ll walk myself."
Lu Jinxi didn’t insist and led her to his room.
Gu Qimiao stood by the door, not daring to enter. She was afraid that he would lock the door and do sothing to her.
He walked into the room, raised his hand to take a box from the high shelf, and then looked at her: "Co in."
He took the box to the desk by the window, placed it on top, and Gu Qimiao hesitated but still lifted her foot and walked over.
When the box was opened, there was a photo album inside. It was sowhat yellowed, indicating it had been there for a long ti.
He handed the album to her and said, "Open it and take a look."
Gu Qimiao looked at him, then at the album in his hand. She reached out to take it and slowly opened it...
On the first page was a photo of a boy and a girl. They both looked about thirteen or fourteen years old.
The boy had a faint smile on his face. It was clear that he was Lu Jinxi, but the sunny Lu Jinxi in the photo and the gloomy Lu Jinxi before her made it hard to imagine what had happened in between.
The girl looked very well-behaved, but after a few glances, she didn’t recognize her. She just had a strange feeling that she couldn’t explain.
"Keep looking," he said as a reminder.
Gu Qimiao turned page after page until she suddenly stopped and stared at a solo photo of a girl.
The girl in the photo looked about eighteen or nineteen, with long hair braided. It was taken by the sea, looking very fresh.
However, the key point was that the girl in the photo looked so much like her now!
If she hadn’t clearly rembered that she had never taken such a photo, she would have believed that the girl in the photo was herself.
Seeing her reaction, he knew she must have realized sothing, so he said: "Miaomiao, you just forgot."
"These are all from the ti we were together."
"I looked for you for a long ti. They all said you were dead, but I didn’t believe it. Now I’ve found you. Even if you’ve forgotten , I’m still very happy because at least you’re alive."
"Forget it; let’s start over."
He ca over to hug her, but Gu Qimiao warily stepped back, closed the album, and said seriously: "I’m not her... We just look alike. When I was that age, I was always in Italy, really."
Seeing her panic and retreat, he had to stop his steps and look at her with pain: "Miaomiao, I won’t push you."
Then he smiled self-deprecatingly: "Maybe it’s because I did sothing to hurt you in the past, and this is heaven’s way of punishing ."
Gu Qimiao looked at him, full of confusion, and then walked towards the door: "I’m leaving."
He didn’t try to force her to stay, just followed her out: "I’ll walk you out."
Although Gu Qimiao was wary of him, she thought he seed quite pitiful, so she kindly declined: "No need."
As she went downstairs, she ran into Lu Qianwen, who looked at Gu Qimiao and asked: "Miaomiao, are you heading back?"
"Yes, Sister Wen. Is everything settled with the draft? If you have any other thoughts, you can call ."
"It’s fine. I trust you. I’ll see you off; I need to go out anyway."
Gu Qimiao glanced at the Lu Jinxi following closely behind, then agreed to Lu Qianwen’s suggestion.
It was safer to ride with Lu Qianwen than with Lu Jinxi.
When they dropped Gu Qimiao off at the gallery, it was already past four o’clock.
After lingering on the street for a while, Lu Qianwen drove straight to Shen Yanchen’s residence.
He had directly blocked her, so she had no choice but to co here and wait for him.
