Gao Jingyi's home was a distance away, and after the incident where he was almost attacked by two workers from two different places, Gao Houlu could not be at ease and allowed to return home so late.
However, when Gao Jingyi told him that Zhou Hao would send him home, she immediately agreed.
In fact, Gao Houlu also knew his daughter.
Gao Jingyi was originally a beautiful girl that could only be found by chance. Although she was still young, she was a typical beauty, and would definitely become a peerless beauty when she grew up.
Regarding all of these, although Gao Houlu was very busy, he knew very well about them. Of course, Gao Houlu didn't want Gao Jingyi to fall in love too early. Fortunately, Gao Jingyi also didn't hold back when facing those guys, and didn't have any intentions in that regard.
However, if one were to say which guy Gao Houlu was most confident in, that person would definitely be Zhou Hao.
Not only did Zhou Hao know that Zhou Hao was Zhao Rixin's sworn son, if Zhou Hao really had something in common with him, and if Gao Jingyi liked him as well, Gao Houlu would definitely not object to anything.
Thus, when he heard that it was Zhou Hao who was sending him home, Gao Houlu felt at ease.
After leaving the "new world", the group of students each returned home. The boys were naturally responsible for sending the girls home, and Li Ruolan was also responsible for returning to the school's dorm room.
Before they left, Zhou Hao said to Li Ruolan in a low voice: "I'll go to your place later."
Li Ruolan's face turned red, and she muttered: "Why are you going over to my place?" In fact, she knew the answer.
Zhou Hao did not care about her, shrugged his shoulders and laughed, then grabbed a taxi and sat with Gao Jingyi.
After getting into the car, Gao Jingyi told the driver her home address.
Along the way, Gao Jingyi did not say a single word to Zhou Hao, nor did she look at him.
If the two of them were simply friends, that would be fine. But Zhou Hao knew that Gao Jingyi had feelings for him, and he also had good feelings for her, which in turn became a hindrance between the two of them.
Suddenly, halfway through the journey, Gao Jingyi said to the driver, "Master, let's stop here."
Zhou Hao said doubtfully: "It's not your house yet."
"I want to walk." Li Ruolan did not look at him, and opened the door and walked out.
"I'm sorry." Zhou Hao said to the driver in front of him, then gave him the car fare. Without waiting for him to find the money, he got out of the car and chased after Gao Jingyi.
It was now around eleven in the night and there were not many people on the street. Even the shops along the street had closed, and only the dim yellow lights on both sides of the street stood there silently. Gao Jingyi, on the other hand, walked under the dim yellow light, and looked very lonely.
He walked to Gao Jingyi's side and saw that she still had a school bag on her back, hanging on her delicate shoulders. Zhou Hao could not bear to watch any longer, so he said to her: "Your school bag is very heavy right?
Gao Jingyi shook her head and did not say a word.
Zhou Hao suddenly grabbed the bag, and before Gao Jingyi could object, he pulled it off and held it in his hands.
Gao Jingyi looked at Zhou Hao in astonishment, but quickly recovered her cold expression and did not say a word.
Zhou Hao looked at the girl that was emitting a depressing aura, and finally sighed, and said: "Jingyi, is there something on your mind? If you don't mind, just say it. It will be hard for you to keep it in your heart. "
Gao Jingyi turned her head to look at Zhou Hao. Her eyes looked a little dazed under the hazy yellow light of the lamp.
She stared deeply at Zhou Hao, and after a long while, she finally let out a faint sigh, lowered her head, and said: "At that time, why did you save me?"
"At that time?" Zhou Hao thought about it for a while and understood that she was referring to the incident where she was dragged by two construction workers to an unfinished gym when he went to the toilet later on.
Zhou Hao didn't understand why she asked that, so he asked: "Why can't I save you? Do you want me to just watch as you get beaten up by those two fellows without doing anything? "
Gao Jingyi exhaled, and continued to walk forward, while Zhou Hao immediately followed behind, walking shoulder to shoulder with her, waiting for her reply.
"I wish you had never saved me." Gao Jingyi's faint voice sounded once again.
Zhou Hao was startled, thinking, was I wrong to save you? Or am I being nosy?
He stopped in his tracks, and at the same time reached out to grab Gao Jingyi's jade arm, "Gao Jingyi, what do you mean by this?"
Gao Jingyi also stopped, but she still did not turn around to look at Zhou Hao.
Zhou Hao became even more furious in his heart, "Tell me, should I not have saved you at that time because I meddled with other people's business?"
Gao Jingyi slowly turned around and saw that her face was covered with two streams of tears. What he was most afraid of was a woman's tears, especially Gao Jingyi, who was like a pear-stained flower with the tears of a flower on it, feeling pity for her whenever she saw her.
When Zhou Hao saw this, his heart softened. He thought that he could not control his strength and that he had grabbed her for pain, so he hurriedly let go of her arm and apologized, "Sorry, did I scratch you? My tone was a little harsh just now, but it was not on purpose."
But, no matter what Zhou Hao said, Gao Jingyi's tears seemed to have lost control, as they kept flowing out from her eyes and falling down her face, reflecting a bright light under the dim yellow light.
"If you hadn't saved me." Gao Jingyi looked at Zhou Hao with watery eyes, and choked with sobs: "Perhaps I will not fall for you, and will not fall for you, but I will not be as uncomfortable as I am now."
Zhou Hao never thought that the aloof and proud Gao Jingyi would also say such a thing, and her heart fiercely trembled.
This was the first time Gao Jingyi admitted to admitting that she liked him, and it could also be considered as a confession towards Zhou Hao.
Gao Jingyi lowered her head, her tears continuously dripping from her eyes, "Why … Why do I have to like you... "Why …" Her shoulders swayed, making Zhou Hao unable to bear it.
He supported Gao Jingyi's shoulders, but Gao Jingyi took the chance and leaned forward, pressing her head against Zhou Hao's chest.
Zhou Hao let out a long sigh, "Jingyi, actually, I am not worth it for you to be like me, I am not a good man."
If it was according to Zhou Hao's personality in the past, he would definitely not let a beauty like Gao Jingyi go. But seeing that Gao Jingyi was so sad, he couldn't bear to hurt her, just like how he didn't want to hurt Wang Xijun.
"I worked so hard …" Gao Jingyi sobbed, "When I don't see you again, I will always think of you in my heart. But when I see you again, you only whisper sweet nothings to Situ Jianying, not putting me in your heart at all. I... I hate you! "
She raised her fists and punched Zhou Hao's chest. This kind of strength was not even considered itchy for Zhou Hao. However, this time, Gao Jingyi felt like she was being punched in the heart.
"I'm sorry …"
Zhou Hao felt that this was the only sentence he could say.
"I don't want you to say sorry." Gao Jingyi suddenly raised her head and looked at Zhou Hao with his teary eyes, "Situ Jianying, sh-is she your girlfriend?"
"Yes, and not just her, Xijun is also my girlfriend." At this time, he suddenly didn't want to hide it from her.
Gao Jingyi trembled slightly, a hint of pain flashed past her watery eyes.
Zhou Hao avoided her gaze, slightly raised his head and looked off into the distance as he self-deprecatingly said, "That's why I said I'm not a good man and am not worthy of your liking."
Gao Jingyi trembled once more and drooped his head. After a while, she raised his head and asked Zhou Hao: "Situ Jianying and Wang Xijun, I know you …" She wanted to ask Wang Xijun and Situ Jianying if they knew that the other party was Zhou Hao's girlfriend, because she knew that they were good friends.
Zhou Hao nodded, "They all know of each other's existence." He laughed bitterly, "Speaking of which, Jianxin already knew about it, but Xijun only knew about it not too long ago.
She was angry, but she came back to me in the end. "
"Was that 'Love Me, Don't Go' sung by you for Wang Xijun?" Gao Jingyi asked.
With regards to Gao Jingyi guessing that she was the singer of "Love me, but don't go", Zhou Hao was not surprised at all, hence he nodded his head.
Seeing that Zhou Hao had admitted it, Gao Jingyi's eyes revealed an envious look, she was obviously envious of Wang Xijun.
Looking at the tear stains on Gao Jingyi's face, Zhou Hao sighed lightly. He then took out a tissue and lightly wiped her face, "If your father saw this, she would have thought that I was the one bullying you."
Zhou Hao helped her wipe her tears, causing Gao Jingyi's face to redden a little, but she didn't refuse. Instead, her lips flattened as she said in a spoiled manner: "It's you who's bullying me."
Gao Jingyi was usually cold and indifferent to everyone, but now that she revealed such a little girl gesture in front of Zhou Hao, it caused Zhou Hao to be extremely shocked. At the same time, she felt that Gao Jingyi was actually quite cute as well.
Perhaps he had also realized that he was different from before, the red clouds on Gao Jingyi's cheeks became even thicker.
"Next month, I'm going to the United States. I'll take a preparatory course over there and apply for Stanford University."
Zhou Hao was shocked, "Next month, you, didn't you say you would wait until the end of the first year of high school before going?"
Gao Jingyi lowered her head and did not look at Zhou Hao, her voice was extremely soft, "My father completed the procedures to leave the country in a surprise, and even helped me arrange for the school and residence."
