4503 The Other Side 472
“How can this be on you? The loser has to admit defeat. I’ve lost, so be it. There’s no reason for you to foot the bill.”
He looked up and t Gong Jie’s deep gaze. He kept his gaze on the man, as though he could excavate treasure in those eyes. In that mont, he also realized that they were the only ones left in the gas room. He could not help feeling a little awkward. There was a heavy silence in the air.
In the morning, he had woken up to Gong Jie lying beside him. Even though Natalia was between them, when he recalled what had happened the night before, he ran out of the room as if he was running away from a disaster. He himself could not figure out what he was running away from and what he was avoiding. It was almost instinctive.
Hua Jin felt sowhat guilty. “Why… are you staring at ?”
!!
“I’m going away for a while. I won’t be around for a period of ti.”
“…” The actor looked puzzled. “Why?… Where are you going?”
“To take care of sothing.”
“Is it dangerous?”
Gong Jie frowned slightly. “I’d be lying if I say it’s not dangerous, but there’s nothing I can do about it. I have to deal with this matter.”
“Do you have to do it yourself?” The actor was a little worried. “If it’s that dangerous, can’t you send soone else?”
The man’s eyes twinkled. “Why? Are you worried about ?”
“No… It’s just out of concern for a friend.”
Gong Jie knew that he wasn’t really saying it out of concern for a friend. Hua Jin was just being awkward. However, he was glad to see the actor’s worried expression.
“So what if it’s dangerous?” Gong Jie crossed his arms and leaned gently against the table. “Wouldn’t it be much easier for you if I don’t co back?”
“Much easier… Why should it be much easier for ?”
“What otherwise? I don’t think you’re at ease now. It’s as if you’re guarding against .”
“What are you talking about?! If you don’t co back, everyone will be very sad, especially Shishi. She’ll be devastated for sure.”
“Everyone will be sad…” Gong Jie suddenly lowered his head and inched closer to the other man. “May I ask if that includes you?”
“…” The actor was speechless again.
“Fine.” The man ruffled his hair. “I won’t bully you anymore.”
So this guy was aware that he was bullying him! For a mont, the actor did not know what to say. It seed that the two of them had been stuck at a complicated watershed and bottleneck. There was a desire to break through but he was also instinctively retreating.
Just as Gong Jie was about to leave, the actor mustered up his courage and stood up. “Gong Jie, if it’s really dangerous, don’t go!”
Gong Jie turned to look at him with an unreadable expression.
The actor looked at him and walked over. “What is this matter you have to attend to? Is it convenient for you to tell ?”
Gong Jie suddenly reached out and pulled the actor in front of him. “Clearly you don’t an it when you say that you don’t care. Hua Jin, is it really that difficult for you to admit that you care about ?”
“I…” The actor’s body stiffened as he looked at his feet. He felt as though he was sinking deeper and deeper into a swamp. He did not dare to look at Gong Jie. The man’s eyes were like an abyss, vast and profound. He could not extricate himself from it.
This feeling of helplessness made him feel as though a fishbone was stuck in his throat. He grew inexplicably anxious.
