Unconsciously, her hand touched the hair covering his forehead. After doing this, Gu Jialing was shocked. She recalled what Ling Hao had said to her in the hospital before.

【Then can I pursue you again? 】

Gu Jialing shook her head [At this point, I think it’s better for us to be friends.]

【Why can't you give me another chance?】

【Ling Hao! I don’t deserve it.】

【I don’t mind!】

[I mind! Maybe God played a joke on me. This is my fate, and I have already accepted it. 】

[What kind of fate is this? Is everything that happened to you related to me? 】

Yes! It has something to do with him. If he hadn't made such a joke and given her an unexpected surprise, none of this would have happened today. But Gu Jialing wouldn't tell him this. She owed him enough and didn't want him in the future.

Living in self-blame will lead to a lifetime of pain.

[It has nothing to do with you! The fate I am talking about refers to my father’s illness. I had to save her and needed money. At that time, I didn’t know that you were a wealthy young man, so I chose someone else. It’s just this kind of fate. 】

Gu Jialing smiled self-deprecatingly.

[Jia Ling! I really like you. We have been dating for two years, can you really let go? You used to love me so much!]

Gu Jialing was silent for a while before speaking [I have given up! Mr. Ling, let’s call it a day! Goodbye!]

Gu Jialing stood up and turned around quickly to leave.

When he turned around, he could no longer pretend, and a tear fell silently from his eyes. Ling Hao's voice came from behind,

[Jia Ling! I will not give up! I will wait until you change your mind, and my arms will be open only for you. 】

Gu Jialing paused her raised steps and used the energy to keep her voice calm: [We will never meet again in the future]

[...] There was endless silence behind her. When Gu Jialing was about to continue walking, Ling Hao's choking voice slowly came from behind.

[If you will inadvertently think of me in the future, please don’t forget that I loved you so deeply...]

Gu Jialing could no longer hold back her tears, fearing that he would see the flaw and run away.

"What are you thinking about?" A sudden voice suddenly interrupted Gu Jialing's thoughts, making her startled.

The dark blue eyes he met seemed to be able to see through her.

"Are you awake? It's only 10 o'clock now, so go back to sleep!"

Geng Rui got up and got off the bed: "No! I'll take a shower and give you a surprise."

"What surprise?"

Geng Rui said nothing about taking a shower but pulled her in with him. Geng Rui was particularly sensitive and excited when he was taking a shower because he had not finished drinking all the wine, but this time he held back and did not eat her.

The most he could do was kiss her, bite her lightly, and keep sliding his big palms up and down her body, but this was becoming more and more torturous for him, so he finally gave up and got up to take a shower.

The reason why he didn't touch her was to prepare for the next surprise, but he just couldn't bear it.

After washing himself, Geng Rui put on his bathrobe and went out to the balcony to blow in the cold air to calm himself down.

Gu Jialing followed her out not long after, and spent more than an hour in the bathroom doing ink. It was almost 12 o'clock and it was about to enter the New Year.

Gu Jialing walked to the balcony. The two of them were wearing the same series of nightgowns, but one had a blue pattern and the other had a pink pattern. Even the slippers were of the same style, a typical couple's outfit.

Geng Rui pulled her in front of him and held her in his arms. The two of them looked into the distance at the same time.

Gu Jialing said calmly: "Where is the surprise you mentioned?"
