If we don't clarify things, it'll only end up hurting him more in the end.
"What's wrong?"
"The real reason I came back this time is because I like..."
"It doesn't matter, I'm just glad you're back." Ais knew what she was about to say.
He certainly wasn't going to give her the chance to refuse.
"..."
It was already hard enough to speak, and being interrupted like that, Gu Yao really didn't have the courage to say something hurtful again.
"I should go back now. It's cold, you should head back early too." Gu Yao stood up, ready to leave.
"Gu Yao."
Ais suddenly called out to her.
Gu Yao turned back to look at him: "What's up?"
"Will you stop talking to me because of your brother?"
"..."
Seeing Gu Yao not speaking, Ais anxiously stood up and continued, "I'm not afraid of getting beaten."
"..."
Seeing Ais like this, Gu Yao increasingly felt that he reminded her of someone.
Someone who seemed both familiar and unfamiliar, and such an Ais gave her a strange feeling.
