Chapter 555: Peaceful Confrontation (1)
Xu Weilai suddenly found it funny. How could she and Gu Yu be so calm?
In front of her, he seemed to have lost all his emotions. Even if he was obedient to her, he wasn’t as doting as before. His eyes and tone were completely calm.
Whether it was going out to eat or ordering takeout, she didn’t want to eat anymore. There was no need to waste that time anymore.
She shook her head. “No need. I had some snacks before I came back. I’m actually not hungry.”
As she said that, she took a gentle breath. She withdrew her hands from the table and placed them under the table. She clenched her fingers slightly before raising her eyes and looking at Gu Yu.
There were some things that weren’t suitable and shouldn’t be asked at this time, but she felt that if she didn’t ask clearly now, she would probably never know the answer.
“Gu Yu… ”
Xu Weilai spoke softly and called his name. Even though she tried hard to keep herself calm, she couldn’t help but feel a tinge of bitterness. “Do you still remember that night on Chun Chun’s birthday when we went for a walk to the small garden? I said that I had a question to ask you?”
Gu Yu froze for a moment, but he quickly recalled it and nodded. “I remember.”
“I wanted to find another opportunity to ask you again, but I want to ask you now. For the next question, I’ll ask you to answer me truthfully, okay?”
That question that had been put off for a long time could no longer be put off until this moment.
She even felt a little regretful. If she had been able to confront Gu Yu bravely and directly like she did with Chun Chun, she wouldn’t have dragged it out until this… bad timing.
Gu Yu didn’t give a good answer, nor did he give a bad answer. He just placed his chopsticks on the table and elegantly wiped the corner of his lips with a tissue. He said indifferently, “You can ask.”
That day, her question was very direct. She wanted to ask, “Do you like me?”
At that time, because of the confidence that Xiao Chun gave her, she had maintained this confidence when she faced Gu Yu. However… after not contacting him for more than a month, the rumors that spread like fire had eaten up her courage bit by bit.
It wasn’t easy to put it back together at this time.
Xu Weilai had always known very clearly that her love was flawed. Even though from the time she had taken a knife for Gu Yu to the time before Gu Yu’s business trip, Gu Yu’s gentleness towards her had allowed her to regain some confidence, it was still really insecure… so insecure that it was extremely easy to lose it.
So much so that the question she asked became a little more tactful when it came out of her mouth. “You knew long ago that after my injury, my body became especially weak, so later on, you were especially nervous about my health. Not only did you supervise my bodily health, but you also specially invited Simon, the famous rehabilitation therapist, to come out of retirement and treat me, right?”
Since she wasn’t surprised by the medical report just now, it was normal for her to know about Simon’s matter.
Gu Yu looked very calm, as if he wasn’t surprised that she already knew about it. He opened his mouth and answered, “Yes, your injury was very serious. The doctor told me long ago that your body will have all kinds of side effects. You were injured because of me, so naturally I can’t let your body continue to be in such a feeble state. I have the responsibility to help your body recover.”
You were injured because of me…
I have the responsibility to help your body recover…
Those two sentences really struck a nerve with her.
