Chapter 319: Because Of You, I Lost EverythingTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“If a fan came up to you one day and said, ‘Gu Xie, I’ve loved you for years. Please get together with me.’ Would you agree?”
“NO!” Gu Xie understood immediately. “I get it. I’m sorry for all the disturbance I have caused lately. I will explain to the media.”
Lin Xiaojuan was speechless.
Uhh…
Hold up, have you misunderstood something?
Gu Xie apologized to her gentlemanly and turned around, wanting to leave. Lin Xiaojuan was still lost and had not had enough time to react, but she had already reached out to grasp his hand. Gu Xie’s palm had some callouses. It was dry yet warm. The two of them froze for a moment.
It was as if an electric current had pa.s.sed through his palm and straight into his heart, and it began to shake vigorously. His heart palpitated wildly as if it were about to fall out of his throat. All the intense and exciting feelings rushed up, almost eating him up.
He had a crush on Lin Xiaojuan for five years, and this was the first time he had held her hand.
Lin Xiaojuan stared at their hands in shock. His hand was way bigger than hers, and his nails were well-trimmed. His fingers were long, and it made her hand seem pet.i.te and pale. There was a whirlpool swirling in Gu Xie’s eyes. He tried to control and resist it, but he had too many emotions hidden, and he was overwhelmed for the moment.
Lin Xiaojuan felt as if she had been shocked by electricity and wanted to draw her arm away, but he had held onto it tightly. After a while, he seemed to have finally reacted, and he let go lightly. The warmth he felt in his hand began to turn cold as he relaxed.
“I’ll treat you to a meal when Tong Hua is discharged from the hospital, okay?” Lin Xiaojuan asked.
Gu Xie behaved as if he had heard something shocking. He felt as if someone had injected warmth into his cold heart. “You? Treating me? To a meal?”
“Will you come?”
“Definitely!” Gu Xie was lost. “I mean, yes. I’ll treat you to one.”
“No hurry, I’ll treat you first, and you’ll treat me again the next time.”
Gu Xie’s eyes lit up as if he had heard some overwhelmingly good news. He was over the moon, but his expression was normal due to years of restraining himself. “Great!”
Gu Xie left the hospital slowly and walked to his car. He felt as if he were floating. He had been dealing with this feeling of having a crush for years alone. He had no one to share this with. He kept all his emotions and feelings in his heart and could only replay them in his mind silently as if he was watching a movie. No matter how much he loved her, it was as if they were just a storyline for a movie. He could never reach her, and he had long known that she had a boyfriend. He did not wish to bother her and was thinking that he was going to spend the rest of his life watching her from afar and wis.h.i.+ng her well.
He had never thought that the tables would turn. It was as if they had come out of the film, and he had touched her hand.
So soft, so warm!
Lin Xiaojuan had just turned around and was entering the hospital when someone suddenly stopped her. Yan Jianming stared at her spitefully, and Lin Xiaojuan was shocked to realize that he had slimmed down a lot and looked broken. He looked nothing like a high school hunk, and he seemed defeated and battered.
“Lin Xiaojuan, you have indeed been with Gu Xie for a long time. No wonder you were not even hurt when I abandoned you. You turned around and got Shen Qianshu and Tong Hua to deal with me. You evil witch, you have betrayed me a long time ago.”
Lin Xiaojuan’s good mood was completely ruined by his presence as if she had been poured cold water by him. She felt disgusted for a moment. She felt hurt yet disgusted. “Yan Jianming, stop playing the blame game. You are the problem, and you are blaming me for it? You are indeed so scheming and evil. Do you think everyone is as despicable as you are?”
“Lin Xiaojuan, I’m despicable? The most despicable one is you! You made Gu Xie destroy all my job opportunities, and Brilliant Entertainment has withdrawn their contract with me. It is all because of you. I lost everything.”
