"I told you. I have no—"
"You have no feelings for me?" he interrupted her, "Who do you have feelings for now?"
She was stunned. Danger seemed to flicker in his eyes as he looked at her.
"I have no feelings for anyone, including Gu Lichen!" she said. She did not want to involve Gu Lichen in this. Yi Jinli broke Gu Lichen's wrist because of her, and she wondered how he was doing.
"Why let him hug you if you have no feelings for him? When did he and you get along so well?" he asked darkly.
She suddenly felt nervous. If her answer annoyed him, then maybe…
Ling Yiran said truthfully, "I… only think of Gu Lichen as a childhood friend. I… feel guilty when I see him."
"Guilty?" Yi Jinli raised his eyebrows.
"He has been looking for me for years, but I never told him I’m the one he’s looking for." Instead, she let Gu Lichen identify the wrong person and make the mistake again and again. "Besides, he probably hugged me because of the feelings he had as a child."
She was wearing a purple gown, so Gu Lichen probably saw her as the little girl in his imagination. She could feel it.
Therefore, the hug was just between Chenchen and the child version of herself.
He straightened up slightly. He put his hands on the edge of the bed, looked at her, and said, "Okay. Since you say you have no feelings for Gu Lichen, I believe you. What about me? Is it that hard for you to fall in love with me again?"
Their faces were suddenly very close to each other.
