Chapter 38

She had just barged into his world like this and opened his heart.

He knew he had fallen in love with her long ago.

But for some reason, the more he loved her, the more he felt sorry for Siyun.

"I wasn't angry at you just now."

Gu Die explained; he had always just been angry at himself.

"It's nothing."

Liuli got out of the car without waiting for Gu Die.

She said it was nothing, but her feelings were all written on her face.

He couldn't understand it either; whenever Siyun's matter was mentioned, he couldn't control his emotions.

Liuli went upstairs on her own without looking back at him once.

She was wondering what she had come to the company for.

As soon as she entered the office, Xia Zi was already waiting for Gu Die inside, and had even brewed coffee for him.

"Young Master."

Xia Zi called out when she saw Gu Die enter; she hadn't heard her call her when she entered.

Well, why should she call her? She was Gu Die's assistant, not Chu Liuli's.

Gu Die sat directly at the desk without even looking at the coffee; he used to drink coffee as soon as he entered the office.

But this was the second time he hadn't drunk it.

"Young Master, the coffee is getting cold."

Xia Zi said, only to see Gu Die's gaze fixed on Liuli.

Was he in a bad mood because of her again?

Liuli sat by the window, not knowing what she should do.

"Is there anything I can help with?"

Liuli asked. Gu Die was happy for a moment, thinking she was asking him, but then saw Liuli was speaking to Xia Zi.

"Young Master."

Xia Zi didn't know what Liuli could help with; after all, she was the Young Mistress, she couldn't just tell her what to do, she still had to ask for Gu Die's opinion.

"Just stay here and keep me company."

Gu Die said to Liuli and then pressed his lips together tightly.

He was feeling uneasy, afraid that Liuli would ignore him.

In the past, everyone tried to curry favor with Gu Die to talk to him, but he ignored them; even when women threw themselves at him, he felt no ripples in his heart, but now he was afraid that Liuli would ignore him.

"Since there's nothing to do, I'm leaving."

"Where are you going?"

"I don't need to tell you that, do I?"

Liuli asked back, her dark eyes filled with coldness.

Xia Zi felt that her coldness was the same as Gu Die's.

"I'll take you."

"No need."

How did Gu Die have so much patience for her?

Xia Zi had never seen anyone refuse Gu Die so bluntly; wasn't she just someone he found to marry? Why could she treat him with such an attitude, and even when he was in a bad mood, he would still go along with her?

Liuli went downstairs, not knowing where to go, just walking along the road.

It was very hot, but she couldn't feel it.

——Blue Sky Amusement Park——

Zihan waited for a long while before Cheng Li arrived.

As soon as Cheng Li arrived, he looked for Liuli's figure.

Seeing only Zihan, Cheng Li wanted to leave.

"Liuli had something to do and left."

"Then I'm leaving too."

Cheng Li replied.

"Do you really not want to see me that much?"

Whenever Cheng Li thought about her kissing him, he felt a wave of displeasure; it wasn't because she kissed him, but because he felt that Zihan had confessed to him after only knowing him for a day or two, and even kissed him, which made him feel that Zihan was a loose person.

He wondered if she treated others the same way.

"Just because I like you?"

"No."

"Then what is it? Do you like Liuli?"

"Yes, I like Liuli, anyone can see that, right?"

Cheng Li simply went along with her words.

"But Liuli only has Gu Die in her heart, not you!"

"She has someone else in her heart, does that have anything to do with me liking her?"

It really didn't.

"But!"

"Don't use this method to trick me into coming out next time."

Cheng Li's brownish-gray eyes were full of coldness, but he wasn't like this with Liuli; why was everyone different towards Liuli?

Zihan felt even worse hearing him say this than hearing him say he liked Liuli.

He liked Liuli, it was nothing; she could slowly treat him well and replace Liuli's position in his heart.

But he didn't want to give her that chance at all.

In the past, whenever she, Luo Zihan, wanted a man, which man wouldn't obediently throw themselves at her?

But Cheng Li was different from everyone else.

And why did she have to like him?

Looking at Cheng Li's back, she suddenly felt that her once arrogant self had become humble in an instant.

When she saw an ice cream shop by the side of the road, Liuli couldn't move her feet.

"Want to eat some?"

A gentle voice came from behind her.

"Brother Zeyan?"

She turned around and saw it was Zeyan, and her mood instantly improved a lot.

"Wait for me here."

She really wanted to eat it, but there were too many people at the entrance, and she hated waiting the most.

But Zeyan was already in line.

"I don't want to eat."

Liuli ran to his side and said.

"I can see you really want to eat it."

Zeyan laughed.

"But there are so many people."

Whenever there were many people, she felt uncomfortable all over.

"You go wait on the side."

Zeyan saw her unease.

"Alright."

Zeyan didn't like crowded places either, and he hadn't queued up to buy ice cream for anyone else, except for Siyun.

Siyun loved eating ice cream when she was little; she liked eating ice cream in crowded places because she liked to eat the same thing as others.

At school, because her family was rich, many children felt they couldn't climb up to her; what she used, ate, and wore were all good, and people felt they couldn't compare to her.

So later, she didn't like wearing the designer brands her parents bought her, didn't like using expensive things, and even liked going to small places with many customers to eat.

Small places with many customers mostly had the consumption level of ordinary people, so she felt she was about the same as others, living a similar life.

She didn't want to have a sense of distance from others.

"Eat up."

Zeyan only bought one ice cream.

"Aren't you eating?"

"I don't like sweets."

"Then thank you!"

Liuli laughed.

Zeyan had never liked sweets, but every time he bought ice cream for Siyun, she insisted that Zeyan eat some too.

She wanted to share everything she liked with Zeyan.

Including the food she liked.

Zeyan had always been obedient to her; whatever she told him to do, he would do.

He followed her in everything.

"It's delicious, want to try?"

Liuli held the ice cream to his mouth first.

This reminded him of Siyun; the first time Siyun let him eat ice cream was like this, wanting him to have the first bite.

"I won't eat."

Liuli saw his light brown eyes instantly dim; perhaps the ice cream reminded him of something unhappy.

"Then I'll eat it!"

Liuli had a triumphant expression, wanting to tease him into being happy.

But his expression became even heavier.

In the past, whenever he had something delicious to save for Siyun, and Siyun asked him if he wanted to eat, he would answer no, and Siyun would have this same triumphant expression, like a greedy cat saying "these are all mine."

"Brother Zeyan?"

Hearing Liuli call him, he came back to his senses.

"Are you in a bad mood today?"

"No, you eat quickly, or it will melt in a while."

"That's true!"

Liuli saw that it was already "sweating" cold sweat after not eating for a while, so she started eating big mouthfuls, just like eating a meal.

The weather was stuffy and hot.

"Forgot to ask, Brother Zeyan, why are you here?"

She asked after finishing, feeling satisfied.

"Just happened to have something to deal with, passing by here."

"Oh, you rich people are really busy."

Liuli sighed; she had also seen Cheng Li being forced to go to the company to study.

Zeyan nodded; he didn't want to live this kind of life either, he just wanted to keep himself busy every day so he wouldn't have too much time to think about Siyun.

The more he thought, the more uncomfortable he felt.

"Then do you have time today?"

"Not very busy today."

Zeyan actually still had things to do, but hearing her ask, he just wanted to answer like this; he wanted to stay with her a little longer.

Even though he knew she was Gu Die's wife, he couldn't control his desire to understand her.

"Then shall we go to the amusement park?"

Liuli waited expectantly for Zeyan's answer.

"Okay."

They also came to Blue Sky Amusement Park, but she didn't ask where Zihan and Cheng Li were; she thought she should give them more time to get along.

"Brother Zeyan, shall we go on the roller coaster?"

She had always wanted to ride the roller coaster, but had never been on one.

"Okay."

Zeyan agreed quickly, and she smiled happily.

However, he was actually very panicked inside; he was afraid of heights, but why didn't he want to refuse her?

Just like he couldn't refuse Siyun.

He kept his eyes closed the whole time, while Liuli laughed happily beside him.

When they reached the highest point and were about to descend, he held her hand; he was truly afraid.

Liuli originally wanted to pull her hand away; after all, she was the Young Mistress of the Gu Family now, so it was better not to do things that would make people gossip.

But when she saw the silver-gray hair on Zeyan's forehead slightly wet with cold sweat, and his tightly furrowed brows, not even daring to open his eyes, she realized he was afraid.

But why did he agree to her even though he was afraid?

She also held his hand tightly, so he could feel more at ease and not be so afraid.

As soon as the roller coaster stopped, he rushed to the side of the trash can.

His stomach was already churning.

Liuli hurriedly went to pat his back.

"Are you feeling better?"

She wiped his mouth with a tissue.

"Mm."

He nodded and smiled with a frown; he didn't want her to worry.

"Have you played before?"

"I have."

He had accompanied Siyun before.

After Siyun's accident, he had never been to an amusement park again.

Although Liuli was at an amusement park for the first time, she felt like it wasn't her first time.

"Then did you throw up like this?"

"Yes, this is my second time playing, anyway."

Zeyan laughed.

The first time he threw up for a long time and was even sent to the hospital; he still hadn't forgotten Siyun's disgusted look.

"If you can't play, why play? You big idiot!"

Liuli's words were full of concern for him.

"Shen Zeyan, you are a big idiot!"

Siyun's voice rang in Zeyan's mind again.

She used to love calling him a big idiot.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Zeyan staring at her face, she thought there was something dirty on her face.

He didn't know why, but the more he looked at her, the more he would think of Siyun.
