Gu Liancheng didnāt notice Elevenās small expression.
In fact, by the time he had pulled out those photos and turned around, Eleven had already collected her emotions. What he saw was a harmless smiling face.
"Coming in here makes you happy?" Gu Liancheng chuckled, finding it inexplicably strange.
"No...No! Itās not that Iām happy to be in here, but that Iām happy to be in your heart..." Elevenās finger poked lightly at his heart, "it makes me happy."
Gu Liancheng grabbed her hand, composed his expression and said, "Donāt tease me late at night."
Eleven laughed and withdrew her hand, hiding it behind her.
She looked at everything in this darkroom and asked cheerfully, "Anyway... what are we doing here? Are you going to explain the significance of each photo to me?"
She went to the photo line, slowly moving from the first to the last.
"These are all taken by you, right? They look like art photos, really beautiful."
Gu Liancheng glanced at her, smiled, and said, "Take them all down."
"Oh..." Although Eleven didnāt know what he was going to do, she obediently took all the photos down.
It seemed like they had been stuck there for a long time, each photo was marked with a small indentation at the top, and only one.
Turning around, Gu Liancheng was not in the darkroom anymore. When she went out to look, he had returned to the balcony.
"Husband, what are you doing?"
Eleven saw that there was something like a fire basin on the balcony, and the flames had already leapt up. In a while, the fire grew bigger, he threw all the photos on his hand into it and burned them.
"Iāve kept these for so long, itās time to burn them."
Of course, she didnāt stop him.
Those photos, itās good to burn them, theyāre not worth commemorating anyway.
Eleven was still holding the photos of him and Wen Qianxi in her hand, standing there thinking blankly, and then suddenly, she understood something.
Could it be... he wants to burn these too?
As expected, Gu Liancheng turned his head and said to her, "Why are you dazed? Throw them in."
"Throw them in?"
"Otherwise?"
"Are you really going to burn them? All of them? Without leaving a single one?"
"What do you want then?" Gu Liancheng said with a smile, "Keep them for the New Year?"
"Uh..."
They were also kept to accompany him for the New Year, why should she stay!
She just thought that these photos...
"Oh, itās okay, Iām not such a stingy woman, forcing you to burn just a few photos, that wouldnāt be fair."
Gu Liancheng looked at her and laughed, "I donāt know who got all jealous when I just had dinner with someone."
"Oh... Thatās different! These are precious memories for you, letās just leave them. Leave them in that darkroom, as a memento, thereās no need to really burn them - hey, you!"
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Liancheng reached out and pulled those photos from her hand, casually threw them into the fire basin, and watched them burn with a smile.
Seeing them being incinerated, Eleven swallowed, shocked by his decisiveness: "Really burning... You donāt miss it at all? It was such a beautiful youth..."
"Thereās nothing to miss," he said, "whatās in the past is in the past, no relationship should be dragged on, it should end when it ends. Since Iāve already opened this box, thereās no need to keep anything. Itās also a formal goodbye to the past. From now onā"
He looked up and grasped her hand: "There is only you by my side."
