There was a faint smell of disinfectant in the air, and a few rays of afternoon sunlight fell through the gaps in the half-closed curtains.

Gang Ji stretched out his hand, and carefully blocked the small piece of light again, then sat back on the head of the bed again, heaving a not-so-obvious sigh of relief.

He paused, and couldn't help looking at his bedside, where there was a person lying prone at the moment, his back undulating very lightly with the frequency of his breathing.

Charlie fell asleep.

About two days ago, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He developed a low-grade fever that morning, but he didn't take it to heart because it was not serious. He simply took the medicine and thought it was all right.

What he didn't expect was that the long-lost cold came on fiercely, and he soon paid the price for his carelessness, and had no choice but to go to the medical room and hang up the hanging needle.

It was just a trivial matter. He didn't intend to tell anyone, but he didn't know where Xia Li heard the news. He rushed to the headquarters early the next morning and insisted on staying here to accompany him until the infusion was over. However, During the waiting process, he fell asleep because he was too exhausted, which made Tsuna feel a little dumbfounded.

She seems to have been like this all these years, and sometimes even gave him a certain illusion, as if she would always be by his side as she is now, just like the accompanying light and shadow, it is an indescribable but indescribable feeling. A bond that is easily broken.

The snow-white walls reflected each other's reflections. Even though the curtains were closed, the light in the room did not become dim.Gangji unconsciously stared at Xia Li's sleeping face and became dazed. There were many memories in his mind, but there was no direction, so that he seemed to think a lot, but in the end, nothing really fell into his heart. of.

As he grows older, recalling the past seems to have become a luxury. Only occasionally when he has free time in the busy and busy affairs, he will carefully recall those things in the past.

It was also at this time that he suddenly realized that if he really counted it, he and Xia Li had known each other since the second year of junior high school, and it has been a full tenth year, which is really incredible.

If this kind of thing were placed on any friend, he would never have such a wonderful feeling.But Xia Li was the only one who chose to stay after going through such entanglements, so she was always different from others.

This difference may be an emotional or psychological self-suggestion. After all, he has no way to forget all her past affection and words, and simply thinks that this is all right.He knew very well that the way Xia Li looked at him hadn't changed.

It seems that ever since Li Baoen arrived, he has always been carrying a hope that he does not know where it came from, but it is extraordinarily heavy, and he is struggling to move forward on the boundless road.

This feeling can't be said to be good or bad, but he is used to it, just like he has always been used to wanting not to disappoint anyone.

But it turns out that this is difficult to do.

The unobstructed sunlight fell on Xia Li's lightly closed eyelids, and the fine golden light fluctuated and flowed on the slightly curly eye feathers with her shallow breathing. Suddenly, it occurred to Xia Li that she complained about his hard work on social software.

In fact, although he is not proficient in electronic equipment, he is not as exaggerated as Xia Li thinks. Most of the time, he is just reluctant to do it, and the reason is nothing more than not liking it enough.

Putting his personal life on the public network for some unfamiliar people to browse, such a thing for no reason will make him feel a little bit of a delicate feeling of being spied on. He thought that Xia Li should have the same idea as him, But she was far more enthusiastic about this aspect than he imagined.

After seeing too many things she posted, he gradually seemed to have no initial rejection of it. Although he still maintains an outrageously low update frequency, he still sends some pictures occasionally when he thinks of it, just like daily life Like the notes in the book, fragmented, like tiny miniatures one after another.

Picking up the phone from the bedside table, Tsuna called up the camera function, adjusted the angle, and pressed the shutter on Xia Li who was sleeping soundly.

The screen was black and white, and the scene in front of me was permanently preserved.He originally wanted to send this photo to Moments, but when his eyes touched Xia Li's peaceful sleeping face in the photo, he paused for some reason. He changed his mind and took a photo with only half of her clothes in it. A new photo of the mirror was uploaded.

As for the original photo, he didn't delete it either, and let it lie safely in his photo album, which is not that rich in memory.

Suspending water for a cold is very common. When editing the content, Tsuna thought about it for a moment, but hesitantly added the sentence "The fever has begun to subside", and then pressed send.

Who would have thought that in the next second, a crisp ringtone suddenly sounded in the originally quiet room. He subconsciously raised his head to search for the source of the sound, but found that it seemed to come from Xia Li's mobile phone.

The sound only rang for a while and then stopped, but Xia Li had already been awakened, her arms lying on the bed were slightly tightened, and she opened her sleepy eyes.

"……I am asleep?"

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and straightened up, her eyes froze when she touched him.

It was almost visible to the naked eye, and most of the blankness in her eyes faded in an instant. Xia Li didn't think too much, and subconsciously stretched out her hand in his direction, with a somewhat ignorant look on her face.

Gang Ji lowered his eyes slightly, feeling the soft palm on his forehead, and the familiar warmth slowly flowing into the blood along the touching skin.

He calmly tightened the palms placed on the quilt, feeling a little nervous for no reason, and subconsciously held his breath.

Fortunately, this posture didn't last too long, Xia Li quickly withdrew her hand, and touched herself again: "It seems that the fever has subsided."

Her attitude was natural, Gang Ji looked up at her, only to find that she had lowered her head to fiddle with her mobile phone.

A few strands of black hair slipped from her ears, and she quickly pulled them back. Gang Ji's eyes were drawn by her actions, and his face was soft. Only the tips of his right fingers were unconsciously rubbing bed sheet.

Xia Li didn't know what she saw, but she suddenly said 'huh', and looked at him in surprise: "You actually posted something."

Gang Ji didn't expect her to find out so quickly, she raised her lips and nodded, just about to say something, but she heard Xia Li say: "This ringtone that you care about is too ugly." She said while He lowered his head again, and his fingertips danced briskly on the screen, as if muttering to himself, "I have to change it."

It turned out that the ringtone that woke her up just now turned out to be a special ringtone she set for him, no wonder it sounded so coincidental.

Gang Ji was stunned for two seconds, and couldn't help laughing.He looked at Xia Li in front of him, his right hand gradually stopped moving, but the curve of the corner of his lips did not fall down.

In the past few years, he has been thinking about how to treat Xia Li, but he has never found a satisfactory answer. This may also be because of the confusion deep in his heart.

The world of adults is no longer as black and white as it was in adolescence, and the boundaries can be drawn simply by 'like' and 'hate'.He has never disliked Xia Li's existence, and even had a brief moment of joy, but whether he likes this feeling or not, no one can tell clearly.

There are too many things mixed between the two of them now, so that they can't even say an answer that is enough to deliver easily.

This was the doomed ending ever since Xia Li made up her mind to stay, and the key person who caused this situation was him.

If he had been firmer in his refusal at the beginning, and hadn't stopped her on that snow-covered long street, everything would have been different.

At least, it would be different for Charlie.

It's a pity that he still failed to be ruthless after all, and even now he can't even distinguish his own heart.But fortunately, Xia Li never forced him to express his position on this matter, but gave him enough breathing time so that he would not lose his sense of proportion when dealing with her.

——All words and actions about her are from the heart.So far, that's all he can do. .

The two of them seemed to have made an agreement, and neither of them took the initiative to mention it, so they always maintained a delicate balance.

On the face of Gangji, it was the same as usual, but deep down in his heart, he felt somewhat guilty.

Wait, wait, wait.

He must be able to give her an answer soon.

After the oolong engagement ceremony, he sent Xia Li back to the consultant's manor outside the door, made an appointment with her to return to Japan, and watched her back disappear from sight with a smile on his face.

This was an unexpected joy today. He did not expect that Xia Li would suddenly appear at this engagement ceremony. After a brief surprise, he was somewhat dumbfounded.

Li Baowen's bad taste still flares up from time to time, these things were originally aimed at him, but I don't know why in recent years, I have gradually become fond of involving Xia Li.

Gang Ji vaguely guessed some reason in his heart, he sat back in the car again, his eyes fell on the tall and thick branches of the roadside trees through a layer of dark car windows, there was a bit of softness in his eyes that had not yet dissipated.

The car moved slowly, and Yamamoto looked up at him in the rearview mirror, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Did you say something to Xia Li? You seem to be in a good mood."

Gang Ji responded, and couldn't help smiling when he heard the words: "Is it obvious?"

"Haha, anyway, it is to the extent that people can see it at a glance."

Yamamoto laughed loudly, then turned to talk to him about sending Xia Li here.When it was mentioned that Xia Li invited him seriously, the smile didn't fade away, only her eyes looked at him unintentionally.

"Her expression was terrifying at the time, and she always felt that she was serious, so I couldn't hold back and told the kid what she was hiding from her in advance."

Sensitively grasping the deep meaning hidden in the words, Tsuna turned his eyes away from the window, and when he raised his head, he met Yamamoto's eyes in the rearview mirror.

After a long time, he shook his head lightly, his tone was gentle but firm: "Xia Li won't do that."

He knew her as well as she knew him.

Even in such an environment, Xia Li always retains a softness in her heart, and this is what he must protect no matter what.

"uncertain."

Ji Ji, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, but it was rare to deny what Tsuna had said.

He extinguished the cigarette at his fingertips, stretched out his hand to press the car window, and the wind blowing in from the outside blew away the smell of smoke that had lingered in the car for a long time, and also blew the broken hair on his forehead.

Sensing that the atmosphere in the car was somewhat dull, Prison Temple frowned slightly, as if hesitating a bit, but finally said: "Everyone is subject to change."

"That guy...maybe he really wants to do that."

It was rare to hear such remarks from a friend, and Gang Ji couldn't help being stunned for a moment, but soon smiled slightly, converging all his thoughts into his eyes, and did not continue this topic.

Has Charlie changed?

In his opinion, she has not changed.The ones who really changed were him...or maybe they were right.

******

Perhaps it was because the atmosphere in the castle was always too quiet, but at some point, Tsuna gradually developed the habit of reading.

Ever since he was a child, he has never been the type who is good at learning. Even though Li Baoen is always forced to do many things that he is not good at, there are always some things that cannot be changed no matter what.

Therefore, although it is said to be reading, it is only half an hour during the lunch break.On the contrary, Li Baoen was quite satisfied after learning about it, saying that no matter what, good habits should always be persisted.

With such words, Tsuna, who had long been accustomed to obey the other party's teachings, stopped involuntarily when passing the bookstore.

This is a remote alleyway in the suburbs of Palermo. It is a good time in the afternoon, but it seems to be forgotten here, so quiet that it is a bit deserted, except for a few sparrows on the roof. Live it up.

Accompanied by the light ringing of the wind chimes above his head, he walked into the store, blocking the crisp birdsong with his backhand.

Soothing soft music came from the speakers in the corner of the bookstore, and all the curtains were placed neatly on both sides of the windows. The bright sunlight penetrated the glass and filled the entire storefront, casting a few dark yellow halos on the clean floor.

Under such an atmosphere, Gang Ji couldn't help slowing down, walking past the rows of bookshelves bit by bit, at an almost snail-like speed.

The bright colors and different fonts are dazzling, but when they fall into the eyes, they are like a ray of air, which does not give him the urge to stop.He wandered around like this, looking all the way, but actually didn't see anything, until he reached the end of the bookshelf.

Something was suddenly touched, causing him to freeze.Familiar words suddenly came into sight, and the black and white cover was printed in correct Japanese, which was "No Man in the World" written by Osamu Dazai.

Seeing words from one's own country in a foreign country makes people feel kind for no reason, so Tsunayoshi raised his hand subconsciously, but stopped dramatically when his fingertips were about to touch the cover of the book, and just kept standing like this for a moment.

From the corner of the eye, someone ignored his avoidance, passed his hand and took down the book standing on the top edge in a very natural gesture, and his white and slender fingers slid across the black paper, giving people an extreme visual impact .

A sweet smell suddenly poured into the air, just like the fruit candy I loved most in my childhood, it is greasy but has an inseparable delicacy.

Tsuna withdrew his hand, looked sideways, and the first thing he saw was the white hair of the other party who was too eye-catching indoors.

The pair of hands that snatched the book boredly flipped through the title page of the book, and soon noticed the gaze of others.Then the white-haired young man raised his head, his violet-like bright eyes curved into a crescent when their eyes met, and greeted him with a smile.

"Hey, it's the first time we meet, please take care of me^^"

Saying such words in the mouth, but the attitude is familiar, as if the two have known each other for a long time.Gangji faintly felt something in his heart, but his face remained calm, and he smiled peacefully at him.

"Please take care of me."

After a simple greeting, it seemed that he was able to strike up a conversation. The white-haired young man still maintained a bright smile, shook the book in his hand, and asked curiously, "Do you like reading this too?"

"It's not like I like it or I don't like it..."

Gang Ji's gaze swept over the young man's face without any trace, and seemed to casually glance at his waist where the shirt was scattered.

It is indeed someone who has never seen it.

There was no gun, and no case.

But even so, the flash of danger just now was not an illusion.

Thinking this way in his heart, Gang Ji slowed down his speech, and responded warmly in his mouth: "It's just that I have the honor to read it."

The white-haired young man put one hand in the pocket of his jeans. Compared with the straight-backed Tsunaki, his standing posture looked very casual and casual. He was chewing something in his mouth, but he swallowed it without chewing twice.So Tsuna guessed that it should not be chewing gum, but other candy or something.

Seemingly unaware of his scrutiny and vigilance, the young man held the controversial work in the literary world, as if he really wanted to have a conversation with him among friendly book friends.

The young man elongated his voice: "Do you think the protagonist of this book..."

Just when Tsuna Ji thought he would ask him "what kind of person is this?", he heard the white-haired young man in front of him change his voice and asked an unexpected question.

"What kind of existence do you think the protagonist is? Well... In other words, is he really human?"

With regard to the book "Disqualification in the World", its reputation may be more or less mixed with black labels such as "posthumous work", but because of this, it has become a reason to attract people to read.

The first time Tsunayoshi came into contact with it was probably when he was young in high school. At that time, under the oppression of Li Baowen, he read many masterpieces left by the Japanese literary world, and "No Place in the World" was one of them. one.

Regarding the initial impression, he actually doesn't remember very clearly, but he still vaguely remembers that when he faced this book at that time, it seemed that he had a lot of trouble reading it.

Obviously the text is not uncommon, but the many thoughts revealed in it are extremely obscure.

Although it is more or less possible to have an understanding of certain aspects, it is only one-sided after all, and it is more subjective about the inner activities of the protagonist, which is even difficult to empathize with.

Even so, Tsuna has never doubted the essence of the protagonist Ye Zang as a "human being". At most, he complained distressedly that this person's thinking is so difficult to understand, and then he forgot most of what he read after a short while.

But the white-haired youth in front of him didn't seem to think so.Compared with Tsuna Kichi, who was always ignorant after reading it, he seemed to be the one who really understood what the author said.

"Sensitive and profligate, inferior and proud, he has a unique self-cognition of all the ugliness in this world, and this cognition has been formed from the bottom of his heart from a very early age, so it can be regarded as precocious wisdom."

"Compared to a simple 'human', I think he is more like a 'god'^^"

After the young man finished speaking, he laughed, as if he didn't expect any response from Tsuna. After putting the book in his hand back to its original place, he stretched out his right hand, which had been in his pocket since we met, and waved towards Tsuna. The middle finger was covered with two clusters A gleam of light was reflected from Mare's ring embraced by the wings.

"Well, anyway, we will meet again soon, and it won't be too late to answer me by then~"

After leaving this sentence, the white-haired young man turned around and left without hesitation, the wind chimes in the shop rang softly, and when Gang Ji came back to his senses again, he was the only one left here.

Does God...be afraid of man?

Subconsciously, his eyes fell on the book that had been put back on the bookshelf. After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and took it down again.

Holding the packaged new book and pushing open the door of the bookstore, Gang Ji returned to the outside world. There was a familiar figure at the end of the street who had been waiting for an unknown amount of time.

Xia Li stood with her head down under the shade of the tree, kicking the stones beside her feet in boredom.She rarely showed this childish side in front of him, and at some point she began to think that "maturity" was necessary, as if she would be left behind if she didn't.

In fact, whether or not she maintains her innocence in the past is not that important to Tsuna, because he has already made a choice to protect her as early as the day of inheritance.

But even so, whenever he accidentally saw Xia Li like this, he would still feel happy from the bottom of his heart.

There are always some things in this world that will never change.As it was for him, so it was for Charlie.

It is precisely because they have the same cognition that they can continue on this road without worrying about getting lost one day.

In a daze, he had already walked behind Xia Li.

It was early spring, and the afternoon sun was warm and gentle, even if it fell on the skin, it was not burning.

Gangji's extremely light footsteps did not attract Xia Li's attention. She still lowered her head with her hands behind her back, and she focused on the small stone wholeheartedly, letting it roll back and forth between her left and right feet, as if it was extraordinarily Love games like this.

Tsuna couldn't help laughing, thinking about what kind of expression he would see if he called her name at this time.

Is it shock, or embarrassment?

However, just when he opened his mouth and was about to put into practice the idea that suddenly rose in his heart, a light wind suddenly blew in his face, and the broken leaf on the treetop above his head that had withered since winter just got rid of the long-hanging leaf. The branch fluttered down tremblingly, and it just landed at the end of Xia Li's hair, colluding with the long hair.

Xia Li in front of her seemed to feel something, but before she could move, Gang Ji reached out her hand one step ahead of her, and gently picked off the fallen leaf that had already withered.

This is just a subconscious action, even without thinking, it seems as natural as instinct.

Xia Li turned her head and looked at him suddenly, with the surprise and vigilance in her eyes that would be restrained in the future.

Gang Ji looked at her and smiled, just about to pass the fallen leaves in front of her, but suddenly stopped.

The moment their eyes met, Xia Li's expression had already changed, and the redundant emotion in her eyes faded away like a tide, and instead revealed a more intense and fiery joy.

A bright smile suddenly bloomed on her originally blank face, and his appearance was reflected in her slightly amber-colored eyes under the sun.

The emotion that had been carefully cherished all this time, and that he had tried his best not to release, poured out at this moment, almost swallowing him whole.

Just like the eyes that reflected his face, they were shining brightly at this moment.

puff.

Heartbeat stopped for a moment.

Looking at Xia Li like this, Gang Ji felt a little absent-minded.

There was a faint seed that had been hidden for a long time that was about to break out of the ground, and when he was wondering what kind of feeling he was feeling at this moment, Xia Li had already realized his gaffe.

She quickly restrained the expression on her face, her eyes moved away from his face in the blink of an eye, and she rolled her eyes a little hastily, as if she was searching for something.

When he saw the books he held in his elbows, a new topic was found.

"What book did you buy?"

She didn't wait for the answer, but leaned over to take a look, and soon came up with the answer by herself, and she couldn't help but let out a sigh, as if a little surprised: "I didn't expect you to choose this."

That bit of secret, unresolved affection was interrupted like this, and Tsuna's train of thought was quickly taken away by the new topic she found, recalling the question just now, and looking at Xia who had returned to her previous appearance. Li, I don't know why I want to know her answer.

However, Xia Li, who was asked, glanced at him, and asked with interest, "Then what do you think?"

Gang Ji was taken aback for a moment, but still truthfully expressed his thoughts: "I think he is a 'human'."

Looking at Xia Li's thoughtful expression, he suddenly remembered the white-haired young man's answer, and couldn't help frowning slightly, rubbing his fingertips lightly.

"Does Natsu-chan also think that's a 'god'?"

"No, it's not."

Xia Li, who was recalled from her contemplation, laughed. She raised her head to look at him, and said softly, "I think...that is a 'person' with a 'Godhead'."

Tsuna is actually very clear about the fact that Xia Li has always liked her.

But in the past few years, because he still couldn't distinguish the classification of his feelings, he didn't choose to respond.

He originally thought that such a day might pass for a while, but maybe it was the so-called letting nature take its course, or maybe it was because Xia Li, who mustered up the courage to walk towards him in the sunset, was too dazzling——

Before Bingsheng left, they finally confirmed their relationship.

The moment he hugged her, the originally empty embrace was filled with warmth, and he thought this was the best ending.

But in fact, is this really the case?

He was clearly sure that at the moment of agreeing to her, he had let go of the confusion in his heart, but after that day, he fell into unspeakable confusion again.

He likes Charlie.

Maybe it's the love and affection born in this long-term, day-to-day company, maybe it's the sudden heartbeat when facing her in a flash, but other than that, it's better than the feelings I had when I was young. Something is missing.

What's more.

After realizing this, Tsuna began to reflect.

This brand new, but completely different love relationship from the past made him fall into confusion again. He couldn't help but reflect whether he was affected by the environment, or whether it was the uneasiness hidden deep in his heart that led to the " If you don't agree, will you lose your selfish thoughts.

If the conversation with Xia Li that day did not take place in Bingsheng, but in a place where there is no shared memory between the two of them, would he respond to Xia Li's confession?

A life cannot be easily carried on one's shoulders.So is a relationship okay?

He obviously... wants to be more cautious.

Because that's Charlie.

In front of her, if there is any uncertainty, it is a disappointment to the relationship between the two of them in the past ten years of getting along.

With this in mind, Tsuna began to work hard to find the answer.

Knowing his true thoughts, Li Baoen was silent for a while, and then reluctantly said: "Will being with her make you feel painful?"

Gangji shook his head blankly.

Li Baoen hooked the corners of his lips, he didn't seem to be in a hurry, first he picked up the coffee cup in his hand and took a sip, savored it carefully and said: "Although it is different from before, the way of love itself is not just rigid. kind."

He shook the cup in his hand, smiled and put on a pitiful tone: "Sure enough, it's because of too little love experience. Well, it's too late to say this now, after all, the best love training period has passed .”

While talking about the topic, he moved in an indecent direction, Gang Ji couldn't help rubbing the end of his eyebrows, and when he was about to complain about two sentences such as 'Don't always say such things', Yu Guangzhong suddenly Finding that the tutor had restrained his smile, he couldn't help but look at him again.

"In fact, you already have the answer in your heart, see it as soon as possible, otherwise it will be another person who suffers."

Li Baoen lowered his eyes, and his eyes fell on the cup that was still floating with a little heat. His tone was not different from before, and he was still calm and authentic.

"You have to learn to solve this kind of thing by yourself. After all... I can't be with you all the time."

Gang Ji was startled, but when he looked carefully, he found nothing unusual.

Ending the conversation full of thoughts, Gang Ji returned to her living room, and stood in front of the washstand in a daze.

The young man in the mirror has completely faded away from the youthfulness of his youth, only his face is as soft as ever, and even when his face is expressionless, he will not have a sense of attack that is difficult to approach.

He suddenly thought of himself and Kyoko in the past. That originally beautiful first love gradually involved many things, which can be regarded as the only love experience in his 24 years of life.In addition, the experience of getting along with girls is very little, and in the past few years, there is only Xia Li who is of the same age and the opposite sex who has a relatively close relationship.

Looking at the face in the mirror that he has long been used to, but which is very different from his previous memory, Gang Ji couldn't help but sighed softly.

There are too many things that can be changed in ten years. Without Xia Li, it would be hard for him to imagine what kind of person he would fall in love with even in terms of his identity.

At this moment, the mobile phone in his trousers pocket vibrated suddenly, and he quickly took it out to see that it happened to be Xia Li calling.

Press the answer button, and the familiar voice will soon fall into your ears.

This is a link that will be carried out almost every night after the relationship. Even if the two people are not together, they will share their experiences in the day to each other through the receiver. It is not just interesting things. For example, Xia Li likes to tell the truth Especially when it comes to Li Baoen, he is eloquent.

As the tenth generation of Pengelie who just met the other party today and was ridiculed for his lack of love experience, Tsuna could not help but smile when he heard it.He raised his head and accidentally saw himself in the mirror. The smile clearly visible between his brows and eyes permeated with a softness that even he himself hadn't noticed in the past.

It turned out that he had such an expression when he was talking to Xia Li.

"What's wrong?" Charlie asked on the other end of the phone.

"No, it's nothing." He lowered his eyes and smiled.

As Li Baoen said, in his heart, he already had the answer.

Gangji, who finally figured out what he really thought, became uncontrollably in a good mood, so that people around him began to ask him if something good happened recently, but he denied them all.

Gang Ji, who has always been very traditional and reserved in expressing his feelings, has no intention of publicizing this matter, nor even told Xia Li the 'answer' he finally found after spending many days.

He thought it was just a trivial matter, but he didn't expect that he could see himself clearly, but he couldn't see Xia Li clearly again.

The young man I met in the bookstore that day was named Bai Lan, and he was the leader of the newly emerging Jesso family in the past two years.The encounter at the bookstore that day was not accidental, and Bai Lan didn't really want to discuss the life of the protagonist of the book with him.

Not long after, he met Masaichi Irie who came to him specially, and after learning everything about the other party, he understood the meaning of that conversation.

Bai Lan thinks he is a god, but in fact, he is just a human being.

With the unveiling of Bai Lan's identity, the subsequent incidents quickly disrupted Gang Ji's position, making him so tired that he ignored Xia Li for a long time.

She has always been the person who knows him best, so he thought it was nothing at first, but found out that he was wrong again in the later events.

After Bailan quarreled with Xia Li at the dinner party, he stood at the bottom of the steps and looked at Xia Li's leaving back, and suddenly thought of what Prison Temple once said: People are subject to change.

So has Charlie changed?Why was she completely different from the one he remembered?

Or... is it because of a change in the relationship?

None of this has an answer.Because after that, he discovered that he could no longer see Xia Li's heart clearly.

What she was thinking, what she would do, he had no idea, and he didn't even have time to process and think about the problems that existed in it.

After Li Baoen passed away, Pengelie's situation plummeted.In the turmoil, he wanted to protect her and all the partners here, so he couldn't fall down, and he couldn't show timidity, so he smiled in front of everyone and said it was okay.

But Charlie was crying.

She rarely cried in front of him, and the previous few times seemed to be related to the confession, but this time it was not the case.

He thought he trusted her, but she said that he never trusted her.

The completely opposite cognitions of the two people seem to have predestined the direction of the next ending.

After breaking up with Charlie, he made the last and most crucial step in his plan.After completing these, a boulder in my heart has finally fallen, and all that is left is implementation.

It was at this time that he saw Xia Li again in the corridor of Vengley's headquarters. The person he thought would never come here again seemed to have returned to his familiar appearance. He watched her calmly carry out the tasks in her hands. Entrusted to everyone, after the crowd dispersed, he walked to the window, staring at the sky outside the window, wondering what he was thinking.

What would she think?

Obviously just wanting to know what another person thinks...

Without Li Baoen, he still can't do it?

But now he doesn't want to lose anyone anymore.

Xia Li has gone too far. If he doesn't do something, she may go out of his world and never come back.

A plan known only to the three of them had begun, he thought, and when it was all over, he would tell her all the truth, including his never-before-said feelings for her.

He likes her.

He is no longer confused.

But when he was actually facing her, those unspeakable real reasons made him lose all qualifications to defend himself in front of her. He could only repeat the request of "please wait for me" over and over again like a wayward child, Hope she can give him one last chance.

He can't see where this road will lead, he just hopes that she can be by his side, just like every day in the past, although the reality is painful, but he will always become strong again under such company
