"Long time no see, Xie Ri." Gu Linxi spoke with a slightly courteous tone. It was really a coincidence that she'd encountered Xie Siqiang here. At this moment, Gu Linxi recalled what Gu Wei had said. Xie Sisi was still waiting for him to say something, and she couldn't help but reveal an awkward expression on her face.

Xie Siyuan looked at Gu Linxi's face and also said, "Long time no see, Gu Linxi."

"You …"

"You …"

When the two words' you 'came out almost at the same time, Gu Linxi and Xie Sisi both looked at each other, then stopped speaking at the same time. Xie Siqian's eyebrows curved into a smile. He thought for a while before saying, "Let's find a place to sit. There are also a lot of people here, so it's not suitable to reminisce about the past."

"I …" Gu Linxi wanted to refuse and sit down and chat with a person who had once confessed to him. This kind of behavior was somewhat inappropriate.

However, Xie Siqian didn't have the luxury of refusing. He wanted to spend a bit more time with Gu Linxi.

"You wouldn't reject me for such a small request, would you?" Xie Siqiang indifferently glanced at Gu Linxi, his eyes filled with a kind of anticipation that made it hard for people to bear to refuse.

Having used the word 'request', Gu Linxi was truly unable to refuse. After silently pondering for a moment, Gu Linxi nodded her head in the end.

There were quite a few milk tea shops and the like on the streets of the New Year's City. Xie Siqie was mainly reminiscing about the past with Gu Linxi, so she only brought him to a relatively well-off place. The two of them shared the same thought, so they casually ordered drinks according to the shop assistant's recommendation.

After finding an empty seat to sit down at, Xie Si took out two cups of drinks and sat down opposite of Gu Jingxi. After placing one cup in front of Gu Lin Xi, Xie Siqiang lightly smiled and said in a soft voice, "I've always wanted to have this opportunity to have a good chat with you alone."

Gu Linxi nodded somewhat absent-mindedly. She didn't know what she should say to Xie Siqiang. Many things had already been forgotten, and if he had to say it now, he wouldn't be able to recall it.

"There's always something I want to tell you. Did you have a good time? "Gu Linxi."

Even without this fortuitous encounter, Xie Siqiang had found out from Gu Ruoyun that she had already returned. He had originally intended to make an appointment with her in two days' time. However, he hadn't expected that Heaven's Will would once again stand on his side. Coincidentally, such a fate had actually befallen between him and Gu Xiangxi.

The expression in Gu Lin Xi's eyes changed slightly. She couldn't imagine why Xie Si Gui would say such a thing. These words couldn't help but move her heart. Was she happy? Should be happy. After all, there was nothing to be unhappy about. However, there were times when he felt that she was especially sad. For some reason, he didn't know why.

"I'm fine and there's nothing wrong with me."

Xie Siqiang was a gentle person, and he wouldn't expose Gu Linxi's lies. Whether or not Gu Linxi was happy, Xie Sisi could tell. Besides, Xie Siqiang looked out at the sky and remained silent for a while.

When Xie Rinxi's thoughts returned to him, Xie Sisi revealed an apologetic smile. "I'm thinking of a story. It's quite interesting. Do you want to hear it?"

Gu Linxi tilted his head in puzzlement. Only after pondering for a moment did she nod his head. If it was a story that even Xie Sisi found interesting, then it should be worth listening to.

"Many years ago, for the sake of achieving his goal, a man personally exterminated the family of the girl who loved him. Even the girl died miserably under the blade of the man. Even at the moment of death, he could not get an explanation. "A man and a girl have been fated for several lifetimes, but each time, they can't die a good death. A man has his dreams that he wants to accomplish, and the wishes of a lady will always come to nothing."
