C85

He stood up and opened the window at the back. It was already late autumn, and the wind carried a hint of bleakness and chilliness. It felt as if his body had been penetrated, causing him to feel ice-cold. He stood at the window for a moment, then turned and returned to his seat, shivering.

The document in front of her seemed to be filled with an annoying magic spell that would make anyone feel annoyed or think of something annoying. Last night, Blue Smoke's stubborn and stubborn face was still lingering in her mind.

Huo Lianqing had woken up early. It wasn't because she was living in someone else's house, but because she felt uncomfortable. She wanted to get up and make breakfast for Gu Zhenhai. When he walked into the kitchen, Gu Zhenhai was already busy inside. He was wearing an apron with the design of a bear in the color of chrysanthemum. He looked comical and a little cute at the same time.

The fried eggs in the wok squeaked. The soy milk and youtiao on one side emitted a sweet fragrance. Gu Zhenhai turned around as if he sensed someone behind him.

"Why did you wake up so early?"

Gu Zhen put down the spatula in his hand, walked to the refrigerator, and poured her a glass of milk. He knew that Huo Lianqing had a habit of drinking milk in the morning, even if she didn't eat. It was probably because of her good skin, but she had maintained this habit for so many years.

Huo Lianqing took the milk and looked at the breakfast that Gu Zhenhai had prepared.

"I'll take the rest." Huo Lianqing put the cup aside and reached for Gu Zhenhai's apron, but Gu Zhenhai dodged to one side.

"No need, let me do it." The two of them fought like this, but Gu Zhenhai didn't notice the cup behind them. The sound of the glass hitting the floor was clear and loud.

Both of them froze. Huo Lianqing had been feeling awkward ever since last night. She had never had any scruples in front of Gu Zhenhai, but now she felt like she couldn't face him. "He probably thought of him as a guy who was neither male nor female, but now he realized that he was also a man, and a man who had expressed his love for him.

The people who had been by her side for so many years had suddenly changed. She was not used to it, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward.

Gu Zhenhai was stunned for a moment before reacting. He bent down to clean up the debris on the ground. Huo Lianqing leaned forward to help him.

"Don't come near me!" His voice was a little loud, something he had never heard before. It sounded like he was in a mood, but also very anxious. He seemed to be worried that she would be scratched.

Huo Lianqing was stunned for a moment before she nodded.

"Alright, I'm going out."

Huo Lianqing sat on the sofa in the living room. She had no idea what was on her mind. Gu Zhenhai probably really liked her. Weren't there sentiments that had been born after so many years of being together with him?

"Come have breakfast." Gu Zhenhai's voice rang in her ears once again.

"In a moment, are you going to work?" Huo Lianqing was eating with her head down.

After what had happened, Gu Zhenhai didn't know what to do. He felt even more uncomfortable as he watched Huo Lianqing sitting there pretending not to care. He knew what he said last night had touched Huo Lianqing greatly. He was even a little worried, wondering if their relationship would continue to be like this.

Would Huo Lianqing tell him that she felt pressured by our friendship? Let's not be friends anymore. When they were rejected, they could still be friends, but their relationship was truly a bit special. In the end, wouldn't they be able to even be friends?

"What am I doing at home?" Huo Lianqing looked up with a smile on her face and a trace of helplessness in her voice.

"You can go see a movie or go out for a walk." When Gu Zhen Hai saw her smile, he felt a little bit more at ease.

"It's better to stay at home. It's a little cold outside." Huo Lianqing stood up and said as she finished the last piece of fried egg.

She stretched lazily as she walked towards her own room. It was the way she always looked in front of Gu Zhenhai. She didn't care about her image at all, so only Gu Zhenhai knew her true side. Gu Zhen Hai was stunned for a moment, then he sighed and stood up, preparing to clean up the table.

"I'll pack up. Hurry up and go to work, don't be late!" Huo Lianqing suddenly stuck her head out from the crack in her door and said.

Gu Zhenhai didn't even have time to react before she slammed the door shut. He knew she would be bored at home, so he just left it to her.

Huo Lianqing stayed in her room for the entire day. Other than coming out twice for fruit juice, eating a piece of cake, and going to the washroom a few times, she didn't take another step out.

When Gu Zhenhai returned at night, he brought back some take-out food. He knew that Huo Lianqing didn't like to cook, so he couldn't possibly come back so late at night with the two of them starving. He turned the lock and walked into the hall. The living room was dark and the lights were not turned on. Gu Zhenhai swore to himself. Had she left because of embarrassment?

However, as soon as he opened the door to Huo Lianqing's room, Gu Zhenhai felt relieved. She laid on the bed and watched the laptop fall asleep. The security screen on the computer screen flickered. It was two little beavers. Gu Zhenhai walked into Huo Lianqing's bedside, but she didn't notice.

The window was still open, and the white gauze covering the window was gently fluttering. It looked like a young girl's dress. Gu Zhenhai walked over and closed the window. She was not covered in a blanket, only wearing a knee-length skirt. Gu Zhenhai did not turn on the light as he was afraid of waking her up.

The sound of the window closing woke her up. Huo Lianqing's body moved as she opened her eyes. Feeling another person's aura behind him, perhaps because he was still in a daze from sleep, he subconsciously called out to him.

Gu Zhen Hai stood there in a daze. There was no light in the room, only the moonlight shining through the snow-white window screen. Under such a weak light, the two of them stared at each other blankly. In Gu Zhenhai's hand was still holding the take-out bag. Huo Lianqing was the most familiar with Gu Zhenhai's figure. When she discovered that he wasn't An Bowen, a hint of disappointment flashed through her heart.

However, it was quickly replaced by awkwardness. This kind of situation was the most embarrassing. In front of the person who just expressed his love, mentioning other men seemed to be intentional, but also seemed to be a provocation and ridicule. It was I, Huo Lianqing, who suddenly realized that the distance between her and Gu Zhenhai had widened.

"It's me." Gu Zhenhai said in a deep voice. Because of the darkness, it was hard to see the expression on his face, but it must have been very ugly.

"I fell asleep for who knows how long." Huo Lianqing said with an embarrassed smile.

"You haven't eaten anything all day, right? I bought something, so let's just eat whatever we want." As he said that, Gu Zhenhai turned around and left. Huo Lianqing was a little unhappy with him, but she didn't think that she did it on purpose.

Huo Lianqing and Gu Zhenhai had known each other for so many years, but this was the first time she felt that being with him was tiring.

Gu Zhenhai had already put everything on the plate and was silently setting up the bowls and chopsticks. Huo Lianqing didn't say anything. The two of them seemed to be very careful, afraid that they would say something else to make the atmosphere even more awkward.

Huo Lianqing ate very little. She lied about eating too much cake during the day and went back to her room after a few bites. Gu Zhenhai looked at the food on the table and suddenly lost his appetite. Huo Lianqing went back to her room and laid on the bed with her head in her pillow.

Why do you blunder all day long, and still shout out the name of Ambrose, all day long the heart is confused. When he was at He Jingran's broken house, he didn't think much of it when he was accompanied by He Jingran. Suddenly, when he was alone, his heart would become a mess. Although he had already reached the age of dating, he had been busy with revenge these past few years. He had never fallen in love with anyone, nor had he really been in love before. He wondered if he had fallen in love with him.

Gu Zhenhai cleaned up the table and went back to his room. The company still had plans to complete, so he had to stay up late to work. When he went to the kitchen to make coffee late at night, he heard a sound coming from her room. Was she still awake so late at night?
