Chapter 64: Oh, Life

Zhou Xiaoru was taken straight home by Gu Liyan?

How could this be!

To be precise, she was taken to the parking garage downstairs at Gu Liyan's home.

How could Zhou Xiaoru possibly be obedient enough to follow that man out of the car and into his home?

She was sitting in the car right now, determined not to get out.

Go into this person's home? Stop joking, she wasn't stupid!

Once inside, could she even come out in one piece? God only knows!

Therefore, she would rather die than get out of the car!

No matter if the handsome Gu used dragging, hugging, or pulling, our Miss Zhou seemed to have grown into the passenger seat.

She held onto the seat tightly and firmly, refusing to leave.

Gu Liyan, exhausted by this struggle, panted while standing with his hands on his hips, glaring at the person who was clinging to the seat like a koala, almost hanging upside down.

He coldly spat out two words, "Get out!"

"I won't!"

"Zhou Xiaoru! You get out here right now!"

"Only a fool would go out!" She wasn't about to be a complete idiot!

That man's temper was already on the verge of exploding! Two veins were even throbbing on his forehead!

He forcibly suppressed the urge to drag her out and give her a beating, taking several deep breaths to calm his anger.

Softening his tone, he said, "You come out first, I promise I won't do anything strange to you."

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoru's ears, which were tuned to radio waves, pricked straight up.

Strange things?!

What did that mean! Was he hinting at something to her?

Pouting, she looked at the man outside the car and spat out three words.

"You filthy pervert!" Did he think she was a three-year-old child!

In this world, can you believe a man's words, just like you can believe ghost stories?

If you can believe them, then there must be ghosts!

At this moment, people who were preparing to go to work or coming to pick up their cars were passing by the parking garage from time to time.

Everyone was looking at them with strange expressions.

Gu Liyan put his hands on his hips, lowered his head slightly, and sighed.

"Sigh..."

When he raised his head again, there was a lot of helplessness in his eyes.

He gave up on the plan to force the person out of the car, closed the door, and then got back into the car himself.

If he waited, more and more people would pass by, and he didn't want to use force to get this girl out of the car, only to have her shout out something earth-shattering.

Thinking of this, Gu Liyan stopped talking, started the car, and drove toward the other side.

Still clinging to the seat, a certain Xiaoru had her eyes darting back and forth, watching the direction the car was now heading...

This isn't right! This wasn't the road they took when they came in earlier; could there be another exit?

Just as she was overthinking, the car made a few turns and stopped again!

This time, the car was parked in a corner on the other side of the parking garage!

Zhou Xiaoru craned her neck to look; apart from the lights being on and some dusty cars parked there, the place was completely deserted.

Her heart began to thud, beating faster!

At this moment, the man's voice came from beside her.

"No need to look, this is where abandoned vehicles are parked; usually, no one comes here!"

As the words fell, Miss Zhou's heart skipped a beat!

Her brain began to race at high speed! What did that mean?!

Wasn't this just saying "there is no silver buried here"?

And the next second, the handsome Gu's actions further confirmed her suspicions.

As the passenger seat was suddenly reclined, a man's body pressed down along with it!

Looking at the handsome face above her, Zhou Xiaoru almost wanted to scream and sing "Tan Te"!

"Gu Liyan! Why are you bullying me again!"

The man curled the corners of his handsome lips and coolly tugged at his necktie.

"Bullying... I haven't done anything yet; it won't be too late for you to shout once I actually do something..."

"You!!"

Because of this sentence, Zhou Xiaoru's face was like a string of firecrackers that had been lit and exploded right on her face!

It was blasted into a bloody mess, turning bright, bright red.

Just as the man's lips were about to press down, Zhou Xiaoru shouted out directly.

"Gu Liyan! Didn't you always like Fang Qingkong! What about the beautiful times you had, the memories, the vows of eternal love! Have you forgotten them all!"

Sure enough, after she shouted this, she successfully managed to stop the man.

At this moment, Gu Liyan's eyes were like talking stars, shining with a shimmering light.

The man leaned down, kissed her forehead, and continued.

"I admit, in the past, because she was my first love, I found it hard to forget her. There were good times, and there were memories, but as for vows of eternal love... I only told her to wait for me at university, but she clearly couldn't wait and found someone else. So, I never had any actual commitments with her. Everything you mentioned is just ancient history."

Speaking of this, he remembered the year they were together.

He was very bad to her, even ignoring her.

It had always been her chasing after him, but now, it was his turn to chase after her.

This is, the cycle of karma!

Stroking her soft hair, the man continued affectionately.

"Xiaoru, give me a chance, will you!"

Looking at those deep eyes, Zhou Xiaoru almost sank into that gentle, affectionate gaze.

Give him another chance? Would she?

To hell with that!

She had said it long ago; she used to be a vegetarian, but now she had long since switched to eating meat!

She was already too lazy to struggle anymore; after this kind of thing happened so many times, she was no longer bothered by it.

She replied very bluntly, "Sorry! I believe that falling in love is not a game; there is no possibility of a do-over."

At least for her, that was how it was; it was absolutely impossible for her to eat grass that had already been grazed over!

The man's expression grew cold, bit by bit.

Zhou Xiaoru was not afraid of him, and she said another sentence that could directly infuriate the handsome Gu.

"Originally, I didn't want to find a boyfriend so soon, but now that I've been tricked by you into staying at Tengyuan to work, I am now officially notifying you: I have a boyfriend!"

This was all forced by him!

She had no other choice; it just so happened that she hadn't replied to Du Feng yet, so in that case, she would just start over.

She felt Du Feng was not bad, and it would be good to have a new boyfriend, saving her from being pestered by this person every other day.

Gu Liyan's face, upon hearing these words, could no longer be described as just cold.

It was the kind that could freeze a person to death in an instant with just one look!

"You have a boyfriend? Are you talking about Du Feng!"

Zhou Xiaoru curled her lip; this guy wasn't stupid after all.

"That's right! I quite like him. I am very grateful for President Gu's deep affection. But in a relationship, the most important thing is mutual consent; my first love is the best example!"

Things forced upon others ultimately only hurt oneself and others!

Gu Liyan knew that she still could not let go of the past.

"You still, are unwilling to forgive me?"

"No!" Zhou Xiaoru denied it flatly. "It is precisely because I have already forgiven you that I must start over! You admit that you could never forget Fang Qingkong in the past, and I also admit that I could never forget you before."

After all, it was the first time she had liked someone so much, and once she started liking him, it had lasted for so many years.

The most beautiful years of her youth were spent liking only this one person, and it had never changed.

"But later, you saw it too; what I experienced and what you experienced proved that there were still significant differences and distinctions between us."

The more she spoke, the calmer Zhou Xiaoru's heart became; perhaps she had truly passed the age of being foolish for love.

"Gu Liyan, a person like you is not suitable for me. Please also recognize that you might have curiosity about me, but that is absolutely not because you have fallen in love with me."

Zhou Xiaoru did not know if she was brainwashing the other person or herself.

In any case, this time, she would not send herself to the guillotine again for anything!

Gu Liyan hovered above, staring at the person beneath him for a long, long time.

Finally, before he got up, he said something that left Zhou Xiaoru in deep thought.

"Are you saying all this to convince me not to like you, or to convince yourself not to fall in love with me again..."

Until the car started again and drove away from the parking lot, Zhou Xiaoru was still immersed in those words.

Perhaps Gu Liyan was not wrong; she was both trying to convince him not to be interested in her, and self-hypnotizing herself not to fall in love with a man like him again.

But liking someone is the most real feeling in one's heart.

Either express it, or keep it hidden in your heart forever.

How could it be forgotten, and how could it be ignored?

Gu Liyan was very certain of his current feelings and very clear about what he was doing.

The one who was not clear about what she was doing now was our Miss Zhou.

She thought that by finding a boyfriend and starting over, she could completely get rid of the person she had liked for so many years!

She felt that what she needed to do now was to go on more dates and hopefully fall for Du Feng sooner.

Today's weather, in one word: good!

The big sun shone on every tree-lined path, the birds in the trees chirped, and the little cars on the ground whizzed by.

This day was the end for both Zhou Xiaoru and Jiang Bufan, and also a new beginning.

Jiang Bufan decided to work twice as hard, preparing to find a suitable job, saving money while working, and preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam in the second half of the year.

And Jiang Bufan decided that starting tomorrow, she would go back to Tengyuan and work properly.

She discovered that hiding, concealing, and retreating were simply not ways to solve problems.

The key was that hiding was useless; what had to be faced still had to be faced.

It's just a man, after all!

It's hard to find a toad with four legs, but men with two legs are all over the streets!

She decided not to hide anymore...

Not only was she going to work hard, but she was also going to date properly!

Let her embrace tomorrow and a brand-new life!

For this reason, after she and Jiang Bufan returned to school, both of them had a tacit understanding and secretly brought back a few bottles of beer.

They were going to celebrate their rebirth, cheers, revelry, and shouting!

When Xiao Lan and Yao Xiang returned, they discovered that the two people in the dormitory were already high and acting crazy.

The two of them looked at the other two as if they were watching striptease dancers.

Xiao Lan was puzzled; could a bad brain be contagious!

Ever since Zhou Xiaoru went to Tengyuan, her brain had gone bad, and now why had even this person Jiang Bufan gone crazy along with her.

She and Yao Xiang really could not understand it.

In life, there are too many promised beginnings that, after a night passes, are beaten back to their original state.

In life, there are also too many planned things that, after a while, encounter other accidents.

Life...

Zhou Xiaoru, who had originally planned to go to work on time the next day, ended up sleeping until eleven o'clock.

She felt that as for life, it was better to just take it one step at a time...
