But as for Gui Xi, he rely smiled faintly at that ti and said, "What does love feel like? It seems I also need to ponder on this, but I think if the woman I love happens to love too, I would feel a warmth in my heart, a kind of warmth that feels like it might lt you."
Guan La chuckled, finding it quite sweet that Gui Xi, at his age, still had such innocent and dreamy ideas.
Her gaze shifted back to the window and didn’t notice the slight distraction on Gui Xi’s face as he gazed at her profile.
Later on, she and Gui Xi didn’t have many interactions, ti passing by quickly with many things happening, things even she found unbelievable upon reflection.
But one day, Gui Xi suddenly told her, "I really like you, you know that, right?"
How did she feel at that mont?
She couldn’t quite explain it, but there was a slight tremor within her, a surge of warmth flooded into her heart, and in that mont, she realized she was moved.
However, she had always been quite apprehensive of love; Lu Yinchu was a special case, and as a woman, she was not that exception who was attracted to him, but what about Gui Xi?
Maybe she had never considered it before, so when that barrier was finally broken, she realized that besides her, there was a man nad Gui Xi, and she couldn’t react in ti.
...
In the car, Gui Xi lit another cigarette, the night was blurry, an intoxicating kind of blur.
Not long ago, when he saw his good brother Chang Linsheng propose, he still said that he needed to believe in love, convincing himself that Guan La was also moved by that mont and scene.
However, as ti went on, he realized that this woman remained coldly rational, to the point of cruelty.
Gui Xi, at thirty-five, life halfway gone, has a wife who doesn’t feel like a wife, a daughter who doesn’t seem like a daughter, and he realized he’s been living pathetically all these years.
He picked up his phone, dialed a number, and twenty minutes later, stopped in front of a bar.
Upon entering, Han Shaojing was drinking and laughing with a group of friends, with scantily dressed won beside him. Gui Xi frowned slightly, but Han Shaojing, knowing his dislikes, imdiately asked the won to leave.
He arranged for a private room next door for them to continue partying.
A few of the brothers had graduated from the Managent Departnt at H University, but truth be told, Han Shaojing considered himself the least smart among them.
He had no business acun and often sought advice from these brothers on what to do, but there was one thing he excelled in—smoothness in social interactions and being very considerate—making all clients and partners feel well served by him.
He could be playful but was ticulous and thoughtful in his actions, having walked through the mall for years without losing sight of his original intentions, which was rare.
Gui Xi admired Han Shaojing.
The two sat down, Han Shaojing poured him a drink and after Gui Xi took a sip, he asked, "What’s up? Just ca from Guan La’s place?"
Gui Xi smiled, "How did you know?"
Han Shaojing raised an eyebrow, "Just by looking at your expression, and besides, you just took a shower, right? The sll of shower gel and shampoo on you is clearly not your style; it’s a woman’s, right!"
Gui Xi looked at him, "Didn’t expect your observation skills to be this sharp!"
Han Shaojing took a sip of red wine and said, "Let’s set aside observation skills, tell , what’s going on, is Guan La still the sa way with you?"
"It’s only gotten worse!"
"Damn!"
Han Shaojing couldn’t help but curse, Gui Xi looked at him, "Mind your language, junior, Han Shao, Mr. Han!"
Han Shaojing cleared his throat, then said, "I just don’t get it, what on earth did you do back then to make Guan La so hate you, do you have no clue about your own affairs?"
Gui Xi shook his head, "Honestly, I have no clue!"
Then he looked at Han Shaojing and said, "Do you think I might have so intermittent amnesia or sothing? Did sothing I shouldn’t have to Guan La and then just forgot about it?"
Han Shaojing pondered for a mont and nodded, "I think that’s not impossible!"
Gui Xi: "Damn!"
Now it was Han Shaojing’s turn to be irritated, "Mind your language, senior, Dr. Gui, Professor Gui!"
Gui Xi shot him a sideways glance and took a sip of his drink.
...
Although seeing a psychologist was just a joke, Gui Xi, after a night’s sleep, thought perhaps seeing a psychologist wasn’t a bad idea.
Thinking this way, Gui Xi imdiately contacted a friend who had achieved quite a bit in the field of psychology in H City, Fang Xu.
They arranged to et at a Western restaurant, located near where Fang Xu worked.
Fang Xu and Gui Xi were about the sa age, now having a fulfilled family life with both a son and daughter, had been genuinely concerned about Gui Xi’s situation over the years, watching him reach thirty-five without a wife or concubine; he really was in haste for him.
So, upon seeing Gui Xi, Fang Xu imdiately approached and asked, "Are you here for to introduce you to soone? Hey, let tell you, a new female psychologist recently joined our therapy room, 26 years old, quite good-looking, gentle, virtuous, and cooks well, perfect for you..."
"Stop, stop, what’s all this..." Gui Xi quickly interrupted him.
Fang Xu was sowhat surprised, "What, aren’t you here for that? You said you had sothing important, other than marriage or matchmaking, what could be more important to you?"
Gui Xi coughed lightly, indeed choked by Fang Xu’s words, took a breath, and said, "Actually, it’s like this, I want you to do so psychological hypnosis for , when do you have ti? Let’s schedule an appointnt!"
Fang Xu was stunned, "Professor Gui, are you joking with ?"
