Chapter 626: 626 Jiujiu Exposure (1)_1
Keywords: Gu Residence.
Therefore, she has reason to believe that he fell down the stairs due to the actions of the two young masters of the Gu Family.
Yet, even under such circumstances, she can’t ask him about the truth.
"Yes," Gu Liancheng laughed, "I was a bit clumsy when I was little, often getting hurt."
"That’s it?"
"Gu Qianxun, what else do you want to know about the ways I was abused?"
Before Eleven could answer, he admitted: "Fine, I’ll tell you sothing harsher. One year, I went to the Ghost Gate."
Upon this comnt, silence descended.
Eleven held her breath, even the faintest sound of her breathing disappeared.
After a while, she complained: "It’s late at night and Cute is asleep. I’m sitting alone in the living room. Are you telling
these stories to scare ?"
Is what he refers to, that incident?
"Don’t worry, it’s not scary. Do you rember the secret room you entered? The photographs you saw."
Is he about to discuss past events with her?
Eleven deliberately avoided it: "Stop trying to scare
with those photos. With today’s technology, anything could be fabricated. Even without Photoshop, good makeup skills can create the illusion of reality. Don’t think that I would actually fall for that."
"Actually, you should be aware that those are all true."
"..."
Gu Liancheng knew she wasn’t foolish.
That day, when he acted so unusually, she should have guessed it.
"I thought one day you would inevitably discover those, but I didn’t expect it would be so soon. When I hadn’t prepared myself at all, you rushed into my inner world. That’s why I lost my temper that day. Even today, I still owe you an apology."
In anger, she moved away and started dating others.
The situation didn’t develop as he’d hoped, so he couldn’t sit still anymore.
"No," Eleven interrupted him, "I am the one who should apologize. Ahem... I’m a bit sleepy. Let’s not talk anymore and go to sleep, okay?"
She wasn’t sure if he was going to talk about their past. It would be better not to listen further.
It wasn’t the right ti.
She just heard all about it from Jin Xiangnan; in such a short period of ti, she really couldn’t listen to it a second ti.
"...Alright, sleep well. Goodnight."
"Goodnight."
Her voice, gentle, ca faintly from the other end of the line, flowing into his heart.
He pressed the phone against his chest. The entire room was dark, save for the faint moonlight passing through the curtains, just enough to make out each of his fingers.
Perhaps it was too early, he thought. The relationship between them wasn’t strong enough to bear her hearing his story in full.
At least, she doesn’t want to know about him and Wen Qianxi yet.
Let’s talk about it later then.
That night, he couldn’t sleep because so mories inevitably resurfaced.
If only he could selectively lose his mory and forget everything from before he was twenty.
...
"Eleven... are you having insomnia?"
Eleven opened her eyes and found Cute looking at her, eyes groggy from sleep. She hugged her and said, "What’s wrong, baby? Did I disturb you?"
"I saw you tossing and turning..."
"I’m sorry, I’ll stop and settle down."
Cute snuggled up to her and said, "Are you missing Mr. Gu, is that why you can’t sleep?"
Eleven knocked lightly on her little head, "Little Devil, what are you thinking? Go to sleep."
...
It was quiet inside the car; no one spoke a word.
The car drove at a uniform speed in the dark.
The dilapidated street lights, left to decay over ti, made this road in the Broken City District pitch black.
