Zhen Yu had the idea of recording songs one by one, cleared her throat, and pressed the record button.
"For you, I used half a year’s savings to cross oceans to see you..."
Knock knock—
In the middle of the song, there was a sudden knock at the door—how irritating!
Zhen Yu was reluctant to answer the door, but unfortunately, the person outside heard Zhen Yu’s singing and persisted in knocking, getting louder and louder!
Such loud noise would make the recording sound bad!
Zhen Yu, feeling extrely annoyed, stopped the tape recorder and got out of bed to open the door.
"Is there sothing you need?!"
Even after seeing who was outside, Zhen Yu still stood at the door coldly asking; there was no intention of inviting her in.
Gu Qing, seemingly oblivious to Zhen Yu’s expression, winked at her, "You must be happy he ca! It’s late at night and you’re still singing!"
Zhen Yu’s expression softened a bit.
Maybe she was disturbing soone’s rest?
With that thought, she imdiately said, "Did I affect your sleep? I can go sowhere else to sing!"
"No need, no need! It’s just past eight, I haven’t slept yet!" Gu Qing hurriedly waved her hands to decline!
Zhen Yu frowned and brought the conversation back to square one!
"Is there sothing you need?!"
Gu Qing shook her head, "I just didn’t have anything else to do, so I ca over to chat with you!"
"I’m busy!" Zhen Yu tactfully refused.
But Gu Qing seed not to catch the subtle hint in Zhen Yu’s words, and enthusiastically responded, "What do you have to do?! I can help you!"
Zhen Yu stared into Gu Qing’s eyes for a full half minute, finally confirming her long-standing feeling.
This little beauty in front of her truly had no sense of awareness! Not only could she not read facial expressions, but she also couldn’t take a hint.
Thinking about the things she had done before, Zhen Yu made up her mind!
Next ti she talks to her, she must! Speak! Directly!
Gu Qing waited for a while, and seeing that Zhen Yu wasn’t talking, she asked again, "Why aren’t you speaking? What were you busy with inside the room that it took so long to open the door?"
"I was recording a song." Zhen Yu half-heartedly confessed.
"Recording a song?" Gu Qing first looked confused then suddenly got excited, "The one you were just singing? Let’s record it together!"
"No! Record your own!"
Zhen Yu flatly refused!
"Okay, okay! I’ll go grab my little recorder! Wait for a mont!"
Gu Qing said as she turned to run off!
Zhen Yu almost stretched out her arm in exasperation!!!
What? Isn’t what I said clear in Chinese? Record your own! Can’t you understand?!
Speaking directly still can’t deal with you! Does Uncle Gu know you’re this ’capable’?
Despite her complaints, Zhen Yu couldn’t really keep Gu Qing out of her house!
So she had no choice but to leave the door open, turning back to her bed.
"I’m back!!" Gu Qing rushed back soon.
Seeing her about to sit on the bed, Zhen Yu helplessly yelled, "Close the door!"
"Oh! Closin’ it now! It’d interfere with the recording, right? I almost forgot..."
After the ’setback’ just now, Zhen Yu had once again lowered her expectations for Gu Qing.
Consequently, her tolerance greatly increased...
After Gu Qing sat down beside her, Zhen Yu said to the girl squeezed into her blanket, "Stay quiet and wait for ! I’ll finish recording this song first!"
"Okay!" Gu Qing nodded obediently.
——
Zhen Yu thought that Gu Qing’s presence would slow down her recording, but it turned out to be the opposite.
Gu Qing actively offered suggestions to Zhen Yu, telling her to sing this and that.
It was at this ti that Zhen Yu realized! Sitting beside her was just an ordinary junior high school girl; as long as she chose songs that Gu Qing knew, there would absolutely be no ’mistakes’!
The two discussed at tis and quietly waited at others, taking turns recording songs one by one. Around nine o’clock, Zhen Yu stopped.
"I won’t record anymore. These songs should be enough!"
Gu Qing imdiately said, "Then I won’t record either! Let’s talk for a while!"
Zhen Yu instantly understood; Gu Qing clearly had sothing on her mind she wanted to discuss.
By reason and emotion, Zhen Yu couldn’t refuse and simply nodded, saying, "Okay."
Gu Qing looked a bit conflicted but still asked directly, "Xiao Yu, how did you and Han Mingyue get together? Do your brother and his brother know?!"
Today the Han Family Brothers spent the whole day here.
Apart from eating, everyone spent the rest of the ti playing upstairs.
Having observed for a day, Gu Qing would have been foolish not to notice anything!
"They all know."
Seeing that Zhen Yu was willing to talk to her, Gu Qing imdiately followed up with another question: "Did he pursue you?"
"Yes!" Rembering Han Mingyue’s confession, Zhen Yu felt sweet inside.
"I’m so envious of you, being able to like each other," Gu Qing said sowhat wistfully, "not like ."
Zhen Yu’s lips moved slightly, but she still didn’t make a sound.
As the saying goes, it’s clear to an outsider, but the involved are lost.
Because Zhen Yu understood all too well, she couldn’t even find comforting words to say!
Whether Zhen Yan’s unrequited love for Gu Qing or Gu Qing’s love for Lu Huai, both were fervent one-sided feelings!
Zhen Yu couldn’t persuade Gu Qing to turn around and like Zhen Yan, nor could she help unlock Lu Huai’s clueless skull to see if it lacked the cells for love!
So what could she do? She too felt helpless! She could only choose to silently observe.
Gu Qing wallowed in self-pity for a while before realizing that Zhen Yu had maintained her silence.
Suspicions rising in her heart again, Gu Qing tentatively asked, "Did you... already know who I secretly love?!"
Zhen Yu didn’t deny it and straightforwardly nad, "Yes! Lu Huai!"
"Heh!" Gu Qing chuckled bitterly, "You’ve only been at the Affiliated School for half a sester and you’ve already figured it out! I’ve been his classmate for four years, and he hasn’t sensed it at all! Does that make foolish?!"
Zhen Yu turned to look at Gu Qing.
The sweet smile that often graced her face had disappeared, replaced by a face full of bitterness and eyes filled with sorrow.
This scene unconsciously touched a hidden and distant mory in Zhen Yu’s heart.
In her previous life, she too had been tornted by unrequited love, looking haggard.
Back then, she was just like Gu Qing at this mont!
Later... how had she co to terms with it?
Zhen Yu took a deep breath and said softly, "There’s a famous saying, I don’t know if you’ve heard it. It goes like this—’I like you, but it has nothing to do with you!’"
"’I like you, but it has nothing to do with you?’" Gu Qing repeated, unable to imdiately grasp the profound aning of this sentence.
"I don’t know how others interpret this statent, but here’s my understanding!" Zhen Yu quietly shared her view on love, "My liking soone has nothing to do with the person I like!"
"I can keep my liking intact, whether he knows or accepts it, and I can stay true to my initial intentions. But I won’t disrupt his life or intervene in his life because I like him."
