The elegant coffee shop was accompanied by the melodious sound of the piano. The moment Gu Linxi took her first step into this place, she felt a sense of incompatibility. Had meeting in this place also meant that her relationship with Gu Wei had gradually become so awkward and out of place?

On the other side of the table near the window, Gu Wei quietly waited for Gu Linxi. She had chosen this place. Why did he choose this place? It was just that he suddenly thought of this place at that time. This place was very suitable for the current her and Gu Lin Xi. It was impossible for her to not blame Gu Lin Xi at all. Gu Wei had also realized that the distance between her and Gu Lin Xi had started to increase.

This kind of meeting place filled with distance was a decision that they had subconsciously made.

Not long after, Gu Linxi caught sight of Gu Wei, and her expression became a lot more solemn. She slowly walked over and sat in front of Gu Ruoyun. Neither of them spoke out immediately. Silence gradually spread between the two of them. After a long time, Gu Wei finally spoke.

"I ordered you a cup of coffee."

Gu Lin Xi nodded his head. She took a deep breath, but didn't say anything. This was truly the first time this kind of situation had appeared between her and Gu Wei. It was so unfamiliar, so awkward.

The two of them didn't speak again until the cup of coffee was placed in front of Gu Linxi. They didn't know what to say, as if there were so many things they wanted to say, but nothing came out of their mouths. That strange feeling made them both feel that they couldn't adapt to it.

"I never thought that there would be a time when we would be so speechless. This is too embarrassing." Gu Ruoyun was the first to speak. Since she was the one who had made an appointment with Gu Xiangxi, it didn't seem good if she didn't say anything. The two of them were like lovers who had just broken up, and it always felt awkward and awkward to meet each other.

Gu Lin Xi nodded, wanting to pull out a smile, but the smile on his face was even uglier than crying.

"You can leave the hospital?"

"I sneaked out." Gu Shenwei stirred the coffee in his hand, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally raised his eyes and looked at Gu Linxi. She looked at Gu Linxi's face and let out a weak smile. That smile was filled with bitterness as she said, "Guess who I went to see today."

Gu Linxi felt that Gu Ruoyun's words had caused her to feel a little stifled in her heart. However, there wasn't anything wrong with every word she said. The only thing that gave her such a feeling was Gu Wei's tone and the indescribable grief she exuded.

The hand holding the spoon suddenly trembled, and the spoon and cup made a little clear sound. Gu Linxi really wanted to say a few words, but she already had no idea what she was going to say. Who had Gu Ruoyun seen today? How could she have such an expression? This answer seemed to be within reach. However, she was still trembling a little. It was as if she was in an icehouse as all of the coldness was directed at her.

Gu Ruoyun had already guessed the answer. She wore a somewhat unsettling smile, and her gaze was like a needle as it pierced through Gu Lingxi's heart. Before Gu Xiangxi had arrived, Gu Wei had thought about many things that had happened between him and Liu Xiuyun. She had also thought about those things for a long time.

"Here, I keep recalling every single detail of him. I suddenly realized how much I owe him." Tears welled up in Gu Wei's eyes. She wiped them away with a tissue, but it seemed like the tears would start again in the next second.

"I'm sorry." Other than these three words, Gu Linxi also didn't know what else she could say.

Her slender fingers lifted the coffee cup on the table as a murderous look appeared on Gu Wei's face. Gu Linxi had never known that such a beautiful face could have such a side to it. Gu Ruoyun took a sip of coffee. The coffee without sugar was still too bitter for her. It was just like her current heart.

Slowly, his gaze once again landed on Gu Linxi's body. Gu Wei slowly said, "I don't like you saying those three words. Of these three words, the person that should be saying them the most is Jiang Jiayi."

"But even if he said he was sorry, no one would forgive him. "I won't, Liu Xiuyun won't, and neither will Xiuyun's parents."

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Linxi didn't dare face Gu Wei and turned his gaze away. Gu Wei's gaze made her feel ashamed. All of her mistakes were caused by her. If she hadn't been so stubborn, there wouldn't have been so many things. A person's death was like extinguishing a lamp. It was she who forced herself to go against the will of the heavens. This might be her retribution, but why wasn't it the retribution on her body?

"Kill him, Ling Xi. He's a scourge." Gu Wei had actually met Liu Xiuyun's grandma before she had come. She had passed a sabre to him. As long as Gu Linxi was able to make up her mind, she could personally end everything.

These words were like a bomb, falling into Gu Linxi's heart. She looked at Gu Ruoyun with disbelief.

"Kill him, do you want him to go free? What if the next person he wants to kill is me? " Gu Wei didn't back down. This was the only solution. Tell Jiang Jiayi to come from somewhere and go back somewhere.

Gu Linxi looked at Gu Wei in disbelief. Gu Wei's words were like an incantation, causing her head to feel a little pain. Why did she have to kill Jiang Jiayi? It was impossible, she would not do that. Gu Linxi was unable to believe everything she had heard. She didn't want to believe that Gu Xiufeng wanted her to kill Jiang Jiayi. This was impossible, she had to … It was a dream.

Tears flowed unceasingly from the corners of Gu Linxi's eyes, like a dam had been broken. She sobbed silently and looked at Gu Wei with accusation in her eyes.

"He has never loved you. Don't you want to avenge yourself? Do you really mind that he's been lying to you? Ling Xi, you can't be still in love with him, right? "

Love wasn't something that could be retracted just like that. Even if Gu Linxi had decided long ago to separate from Jiang Jiayi, it was still impossible for her to completely reclaim her love for Jiang Jiayi. She loved Jiang Jiayi. Even if it was a lie and a scheme, it wouldn't be enough to completely eliminate that kind of love.

"Ling Xi, as long as you kill him, we can return to the past." Gu Weiwei was trying to induce Gu Linxi into action. This was a method that she despised the most, but now she was actually doing it. If it was possible, Gu Wei wasn't willing to hurt Gu Jingxi in the slightest. This was because she had said that she would protect Gu Jingxi for the rest of her life.

However, for the sake of Liu Xiuyun, she still couldn't help but hurt Gu Jingxi. To treat Gu Linxi like this caused Gu Wei's heart to ache as well. Along with Gu Linxi's tears, pain continued to burn within his heart. He really wanted to take back everything he'd said just now, but she forced himself to fight against this sort of instinctual desire to protect. He had to let Gu Lingxi kill Jiang Jiayi.
