Ji Minghao lowered his head subconsciously and lowered the brim of his hat at the same time.

He lowered his eyes slightly, and out of the corner of his eye he saw the woman's feet in slippers appearing behind the door.

"Ji Bai?" Gu Yu'an called his name.

Ji Minghao pulled up his mask slightly and nodded.

Gu Yu quietly looked at him, from height to figure, they really looked alike...

Sensing her gaze, Ji Minghao pushed the car forward and motioned for her to give way.

She stepped aside knowingly, watching silently as he pushed the dining cart to the round table in her room, and then placed the dishes on it one by one.

"Are you really... so afraid of contact with the opposite sex?" She walked towards him but didn't close the door.

Ji Minghao deliberately retreated to the corner, keeping a certain distance from her, and nodded again.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Gu Yu'an came closer and said, "Are you not sick? I think... maybe I can cure your social anxiety. Do you want to try... taking off your mask here?"

The brim of his hat was too low for Gu Yuan to see his face clearly.

Ji Minghao shook his head, reached out to her at the same time, and asked in a low voice: "Where is the painting?"

Gu Yu'an walked to the bed and took the painting he had prepared in advance.

But when she was about to hand it to him, she suddenly put the painting behind her back, "I won't charge you, but I promised to give you the painting. Are you really unwilling to take off the mask? Is this considered a courtesy?"

After a moment of silence, Ji Minghao coughed twice, "I have a cold, and I'm afraid I'll infect it to you. So... I'm sorry."

I don't know if what he said is true or not, but his voice sounds weird.

Gu Yuan sighed softly and finally handed the painting to him, "Take it!"

He took it with both hands, "Thank you. Then I'll go."

After saying that, he walked around her and walked out the door faster.

Gu Yu'an turned around, and just as he stepped out of the door, she suddenly called him: "Ji Minghao, you forgot to take something!"

Ji Minghao stopped instinctively and turned to look at her.

At that moment, she saw his profile clearly!

After reacting, Ji Minghao raised his feet again and almost ran away!

Gu Yu'an couldn't catch up with him, so he suddenly had a plan in mind. He yelled "Ah" and fell to the ground on purpose, and then "fainted".

Ji Minghao immediately turned around and saw her lying on the ground, his face instantly turned pale!

"An'an! An'an!" He ran back and squatted down beside her.

But just as he was about to pick her up, a raised hand quickly took off the mask!

The air condensed for half a second at this moment, their eyes met, and they were speechless for a moment.

Gu Yu'an tightly grasped the sleeve on his arm. She couldn't tell whether it was joy or shock. She opened her mouth and spoke slowly: "Ji Minghao, it's really you..."

After all, there is still no way to escape.

Ji Minghao sighed softly, picked her up and walked into the room.

Gu Yu'an stared at him closely, the corners of his eyes were slightly red.

She didn't speak again until he put her on the bed: "Ji Minghao, let's talk!"

Ji Minghao smiled and said, "I haven't had breakfast yet."

Gu Yu'an glanced at the meals on the round table and said, "Eat together, there are so many, I feel like I can't finish them all by myself. If you are still not full after eating all this, I will go to the kitchen with you. This time, it will be me cooking. I’ll help you cook!”

Seeing that Ji Minghao wanted to refuse again, Gu Yu'an didn't give him a chance to refuse, and continued: "I owe you this! You are my benefactor, please give me a chance to repay you this favor!"

Ji Minghao finally gave in and nodded, "Okay."

When he takes off his hat, he doesn't have to hide anything anymore.

The two sat opposite each other in front of the round table. Gu Yuan took an empty cup and gave him half of his soy milk.

"You are really good at hiding it. You actually kept it from me for so long. But why did you do this? You even changed your name. I almost thought you were someone else."

Seeing her talking to him so easily, Ji Minghao felt relieved.

"I'm just afraid that you will think of something unhappy when you see me, so..."

"What has happened must be faced no matter what." Gu Yu'an handed him a pumpkin pie, "During the days in the orphanage, I thought a lot, and I felt I had figured it out a lot. Maybe, time really It’s a good medicine for healing. Or maybe it’s because my state of mind has changed.”

Ji Minghao looked at her with burning eyes, "You have always been an optimistic person. I can feel it from the first time I saw you in the hospital."

"So, why are you hiding from me? I'm actually very happy to meet friends here."

Ji Minghao's heart stirred up, "Thank you."

"No, I should say thank you." Gu Yuan directly held his hand, "Thank you, Ji Minghao. You gave me a new life, thank you!"

Ji Minghao stared at the hand she was holding on to him, his ears getting a suspicious blush again.

He also heard his panicked heartbeat, feeling like his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

Gu Yuan tilted her head and looked at him, "Are you really okay? I see your face is so red."

After asking, he put his hand on his forehead and said, "It's okay!"

Ji Minghao subconsciously raised his hand to grab her hand, but as soon as he caught it, he couldn't help but hold it tightly.

Gu Yuan was shocked!

Her slender hand was wrapped in his broad palm, and the heat from his palm spread to her along the surface of their contact, making her face feel hot as well.

She nervously tried to take her hand out, but he held her hand tighter.

"Ji Minghao..." As a last resort, she called him.

Ji Minghao came to his senses again and let go of her.

"Sorry, I……"

The atmosphere was awkward.

Gu Yuan also pursed her lips, then lowered her head and ate breakfast in silence.

Ji Minghao was also eating, but his mind was thinking about topics they could talk about.

But later, it was Gu Yuting who broke the silence first and asked him a question that made him even more embarrassed: "Why... do you want my self-portrait?"

Ji Minghao: "..."

Gathering up the courage, Gu Yuan asked shamelessly: "Is it because you like me?"

Ji Minghao: "..."

What she was thinking was that he knew what was going on with her body, and she knew about his past.

You will end up in a coffin anyway, so why not cherish the present and give it a try bravely?

She didn't know why she suddenly had such an idea.

Maybe it's because I've seen too many miracles, such as Shu Yan and Ji Lingchuan, such as Xia Yiyan and that Mr. Bai...

But she waited for a long time and didn't hear Ji Minghao's answer.

Instead, she heard him asking her the same question: "Then...why did you paint my portrait? I remember...I didn't give you money to paint it, right?"

This question really embarrassed her.

It’s so embarrassing!

She lied in front of the client and was exposed as soon as she opened her mouth. She was really embarrassed!

But, that’s all.

Why not take advantage of this opportunity...

"Because..." She put down the bowl and chopsticks and looked up at him, "Because, I like you too."
