Chapter 51: Bestfriend Comes Back to Expose Gu Zhizhou

Tao Ruan sat on the bed for a long time.She is still thinking about Gu Zhizhou's reaction, she didn't know what to do.

Thankfully, Ji Xia finally come back. She have someone who can understand her and will be able to give another perspective.

But….

Thinking of Ji Xia's previous call, she didn't seem to agree with her relationship with Gu Zhizhou.

Tao Ruan sighed dejectedly.

Despite the fact that her actions were embarrassing, she still worries about Gu Zhizhou's state of mind.

Tao Ruan does not know what Gu Zhizhou is doing right now, so she went to find him.

It's the same as last time, she found him in the balcony. He is still smoking with his back to her.

Looking at his wide shoulder and narrow waist, and watching him smoking cigarette again, Tao Ruan felt guilty.

She gently walks towards Gu Zhizhou and wraps her arms around him.

"Ruan Ruan?" Gu Zhizhou's back stiffens upon contact but he still holds Tao Ruans hands with his free hand.

"I'm so sorry…." Tao Ruan gently rubs her cheek on Gu Zhizhou's back and in a low voice, "Did I infuriate you back then?"

Gu Zhizhou turns around, rubs her head and strokes her face.

"I should be the one who needs to apologize." Gu Zhizhou gently spoke.

The cigarette in his hand almost burned his finger. When Tao Ruan saw this, she snatch the cigarette and threw it away.

"Why are you not paying attention? You almost burnt yourself?" Tao Ruan's eye reddened.

"I'm sorry" Gu Zhizhou hugs her and buries his face on her shoulder.

"Can you tell me why you reacted that way?" Tao Ruan tentatively ask.

Gu Zhizhou's expression flashed another internal conflict, it makes Tao Ruan distressed. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ɴovᴇlꜰirᴇ.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

"Forget it, you don't need to explain. I will wait until you are ready, okay?" Tao Ruan couldn't see him like this, and quickly reach out to smooth his forehead.

Gu Zhizhou runs his fingers on his hair and finally made up his mind, "I'll take a shower first, then I will tell you everything, okay?"

Tao Ruan nods her head and agreed.

Its just that Gu Zhizhou is taking a lot of time to come out from the bathroom.

Before he came out, Ji Xia called again.

"Ruan Ruan, I'm at the front of the apartment, open the doore for me." Ji Xia directly answers.

Tao Ruan felt that something is not right, but she still went to open the door.

The woman in front of her has a neat and short hair, her face is delicate and cold and she is really beautiful but her attitude seems to be in a bad mood.

Tao Ruan went over to hug her and softly asks, "Why did you come back so suddenly? And what is with your expression? Did someone provoke you?"

"How did Gu Zhizhou chase you? Do you know him? And how much do you really know about his private life? Do you want to stay with him even if he is not telling you the whole truth?" Ji Xia's barrage of questions, took her off guard.

"I don't know much about him…." Tao Ruan is a little absent-minded.

"Where is Gu Zhizhou, call him out." Ji Xia interupted in cold voice.

Tao Ruan took her to sit first, then poured a glass of water for her, "Sit down first, Gu Zhizhou is taking a shower…."

As Tao Ruan is talking, Gu Zhizhou finally came out of his room. Walking out of the bedroom, he didn't expect to see Ji Xia. He narrowed his eyes and his voice became cold, "Why are you here?"

"Why am I here? Are you feeling guilty?" Ji Xia mocks.

Tao Ruan look at Gu Zhizhou and Ji Xia, a little disorientated.

What is going on between them?

Could it be Ji Xia had some connections with Gu Zhizhou she does not know?

Speaking of, she never mention anything about where Gu Zhizhou lives. How did Ji Xia know the address?

Is Ji Xia….Gu Zhizhou's ex-girlfriend?

But she has known Ji Xia for almost two years, and she never mentions anything about having a boyfriend.

"Ruan Ruan," Gu Zhizhou came over and touch her head, "I'm a bit thirsty, can you help me make a cup of tea?"

Tao Ruan can tell that Gu Zhizhou is trying to distract her, no matter how lame his excuse is. But she feels uncomfortable.

"Don't think too much," Gu Zhizhou wraps his arms around her waist, kisses her forehead and confessed, "Ji Xia is my sister, there is no other coonection. She and I have a bit of private grievance that needs to be resolved."

"Ah?" Tao Ruan is bewildered.

"My mother and her father are siblings, so she is my cousin. She was born a few days earlier than me, and we grew up together and I consider her as a sister." Gu Zhizhou clarified.

Tao Ruan became more uncertain.

Gu Zhizhou explained it very clearly, but she still feels something is out of her grasp.

It's just, why are there two people clearly related to Gu Zhizhou around her? And why does she not know about their relations and why did they keep it secret from her?

"I..I'm going to make some tea, you can talk slowly." Tao Ruan felt that she needed to calm down.

After Tao Ruan left, the atmosphere has became cold. Gu Zhizhou and Ji Xia is coldly eyeing each other. There seems to be a heavy tension between them.

Suddenly, Ji Xia broke the stand-off and with a voice full of mockery, "Brother, how can you chase Ruan Ruan? Did you trick her? Does she know you're sick?"

"I confessed to her." Gu Zhizhou's voice is even colder.

"Confessed? So, you really manipulated with Ruan Ruan's feeling." Ji Xia threw the glass at Gu Zhizhou's feet, with eyes blazing and expression colder, "What did you promise to me before i went to be an exchange student? You said that you will not have any contact with Ruan Ruan. So your promise is nothing but a fart, right?"

"I really love her." Gu Zhizhou lowers his head, but with resolute in his voice.

"Is it possible to do whatever you want because you love her? Does Ruan Ruan know your many problems? Did you tell her everything you did behind her back for the past two years?" Ji Xia angrily continues.

Tao Ruan who was making tea when she heard the glass breaking, came out of the kitchen. She inadvertantly listens to Ji Xia's words.

Her body froze on the spot.

"Xia Xia," Tao Ruan confoundedly pleaded, "This past two years….what did Senior Gu do to me….?"
