It hurts, probably because sheās upset.
She needs to thoroughly digest the things she learned tonight.
And, when she sees him again, she canāt make it too obvious, she has to act like she knows nothing.
Unless he tells her about it again in person, she will never admit that she knows.
Brother South must have told her for her own good.
If they end up together and Gu Liancheng plans to never tell her, then she will also make it her lifelong secret, never to mention it.
Ah....
When she didnāt know, she was curious; now that she knows, her heart aches for him even more.
Gu Liancheng, how can you be so bothersome?
She wants to quietly walk away, but she finds it a bit hard.
All of a sudden she wants to protect him, just like Wen Qianxi did in the past.
But she needs to seriously consider this decision because she canāt leave him like Wen Qianxi did, inflicting on him a second wound.
Holding her phone without a single call from him.
Call!
Why is he so obedient today, not bothering her at all when he usually does?
Eleven stared at her phone for a while, but there were no messages from him.
Could it be that he was so happy with Jiujiu that he completely forgot about her?
Normally, Eleven could put her phone aside and sleep straight away, but today, she canāt sleep even if she wants to!
Unable to hold back, Eleven gritted her teeth and dialed his number.
After the call connected, a surprised voice from the other end came, "Gu Qianxun?"
He seemed surprised that she would call him.
He wondered when was the last time she called him... He couldnāt remember!
"Eh, itās me." Eleven obediently answered.
Once he confirmed it was her, he began to laugh: "Gu Qianxun, did you take the wrong medicine?"
"..."
Well, sheās not angry!
She didnāt look angry at all, still trying to recover from the heartache. Thinking of him laughing so joyfully, the stories came to her mind, and she feels so pained that she has no time to be angry.
"Donāt want to talk? If you donāt want to, just hang up."
"Donātā" Gu Liancheng hurriedly responded, "How could I not want to answer when you rarely call me? Hmm... itās just unexpected, what happened?"
"Have you slept? What about Jiujiu?" Eleven changed the subject.
"Jiujiuās asleep, I havenāt. I just laid down but canāt sleep. Whenever I close my eyes, I see you, missing you." His frivolous tone sounded incredibly genuine.
He wasnāt like this in the past. He was always gentle to her, occasionally speaking sweet words with a good-sounding voice and a tender tone, not like now, flirtatiously.
But even so, Eleven couldnāt bring herself to dislike him.
His flirtatiousness had the flair of the Guās, different from others.
"Keep chirping, does that mean you can get a girlfriend?"
"How do I know if I canāt get one if I donāt try? Arenāt I successful? You even call me, you must be missing me that you canāt sleep, right?āā Hey? Gu Qianxun? Are you still there?"
She didnāt speak for a while.
Then through the phone, he heard her sobbing.
Gu Liancheng was immediately alarmed and stammered, "Are you crying?"
Eleven didnāt answer, her crying was unmasked.
She knew it, she knew she had to cry tonight, but didnāt expect to be unable to hold it back on the phone.
