Gu Ningyi asked this question, and Dong Xinyan was a little surprised, but it seed reasonable to her.
He had been probing about her past, so it was not surprising that he found out about her being injured when she fell into the water and lost her mory.
Dong Xinyan glanced at him, nodded, and replied truthfully, "Yes, I once lost my mory and forgot what happened during those two months."
No matter how certain his assumptions were, they couldn’t surpass a single word from Dong Xinyan.
Inwardly ecstatic, Gu Ningyi’s dark eyes suddenly brightened, like stars in a night sky. He abruptly lifted his gaze, looking steadily at her, and said urgently, "Those two months were exactly the months I was blind, and you weren’t earning money as a tutor as you thought—you were taking care of ."
"In those two months, we were together day and night. Perhaps at first, we hated and resented each other, but later our relationship gradually eased, and we even developed feelings. Xinyan, we once..."
Gu Ningyi paused, a faint blush uncontrollably creeping onto his cheeks. He steadied himself and continued to speak earnestly, word by word, "We liked each other."
In his heart, at that ti, they indeed liked each other. Her gentleness, her encouragent, her constant companionship, her gentle words and laughter—all were vivid in his mind, every bit unforgettable.
The person she liked should have been him. If she hadn’t lost her mory from falling into the water, perhaps they would have been together long ago, and she wouldn’t have fallen in love with Cheng Ziyang later. Then, all these years, it would have been a journey of love between him and her, not with Cheng Ziyang.
After Gu Ningyi finished speaking, his dark eyes nervously looked at Dong Xinyan, his voice unconsciously trembling slightly, "Xinyan, do you rember anything?"
Dong Xinyan listened quietly until Gu Ningyi finished, tugged at the corner of her lips, and surprisingly let out a laugh. Yet that laugh was filled with thick sarcasm, unabashedly so.
She had guessed correctly; Gu Ningyi knew that she had replaced Zhou Yalin back then, which was why he ca to pester her.
She just couldn’t have imagined that he could naturally, without blushing or panting, weave such lies, such ridiculous lies.
She liked him?
Ha.
Seeing the hint of a smile on Dong Xinyan’s lips, Gu Ningyi’s anxious heart didn’t ease even a bit. Instead, it sank little by little. Her reaction didn’t show any surprise at his words, no sign of being startled, as if... she had known all along...
As if wanting to confirm his thoughts, Dong Xinyan lifted her gaze, t his eyes, and with her red lips slightly parted, said, "Mr. Gu, your mory and my mory are not the sa."
Gu Ningyi felt a shock in his heart, "You rembered?"
"I did indeed rember. I’ve completely recovered the mory of those two months."
"Then you also rembered , right?" Unable to suppress the excitent inside, Gu Ningyi’s dark eyes looked at her intently, even unconsciously reaching out, trying to hold her hand.
Dong Xinyan’s hand retreated, avoiding his touch.
There was no joy on her face, only cold detachnt and impatience, "Yes, Mr. Gu, I also rembered you, but I’m sorry, I didn’t like you the way you said."
Gu Ningyi’s reaching hand froze abruptly, even the light in his eyes seed to stagnate slightly.
She said, I didn’t like you?
Dong Xinyan, not noticing his expression, continued speaking to herself, "I don’t know what I did that made you misunderstand, but whatever I did was just because I was paid for it, so I was doing my duty, unrelated to liking you."
