'Therefore, luckily she's not... She's not...'
His heart seemed to be aching again. Gu Lichen pursed his thin lips tightly. 'From now on, I'll wipe this woman from my heart once and for all! I’ll leave no trace behind!'
Ling Yiran walked up to Yi Jinli, only to find him strangely quiet. His beautiful peach blossom eyes were now as dark as the deep sea, giving out a lonely vibe.
'Is... he angry? Is it because he saw me with Gu Lichen? Or is it because I had spent too much time on the hill and made him worry?'
However, there were so many people here, so she could not explain herself right now. She could only think of explaining it to him when they were alone.
"I'm sorry I worried you! I was going to call you, but... I accidentally broke my phone and couldn't contact you," she said.
Not only did her phone break, but also Gu Lichen's phone. Its screen cracked when he was saving her life.
Both were unable to make calls on their phones, so they were unable to communicate with the outside world.
"Is that so?" He lowered his head, raised his hand, and gently pushed some of the tousled hair around her cheek behind her ear. "It's getting late. Let's go back."
As he spoke, he looked at her long black dress that was quite soiled, making it seem dusty. Then, he suddenly bent over, carried her in his arms, and walked down the hill.
"Jin, I... I can walk by myself. I don't need to be carried," Ling Yiran said quickly. After all, he would be tired carrying her down the hill like this.
He hung his head low, yet his eyes were not as gentle as usual. They were dark like the thick night. "Gu Lichen can carry you on his back but I can't carry you down the hill?"
His cold voice escaped his mouth and made her choke. She did not know what to say all of a sudden.
