CHAPTER 884: CHAPTER 884: OCCASIONAL GENTLENESS

Gu You said apologetically, "I’m sorry, Sister Yunhuan, I was really too petty."

Ji Yunhuan listened to Gu You and said, "I understand you. If I were you, I would be anxious too."

If Qi Cheng was entangled with his girlfriend, she would be angrier than Gu You. How could she have the mind to speak nicely with anyone?

In comparison, Gu You’s temper was much better.

Ji Yunhuan chatted with Gu You for a while, and then Gu You left.

When Gu You got home, Bai Liyan was still awake, making various phone calls. Ever since Qi Cheng had his incident, Bai Liyan hasn’t had much rest. Dealing with Zhou Yixiu is no easy matter, and taking someone from Zhou Yixiu’s hands is even more difficult, especially since Zhou Yixiu’s influence spans the world, and he hasn’t developed domestically.

Gu You walked in and saw he was still awake, sitting in the study looking at medical records. In the hospital, he also had a lot of work. He couldn’t just neglect those things to find Qi Cheng.

So, he was indeed very busy.

Seeing him so busy, Gu You felt a bit guilty for causing a rift with him; she handed him a cup of coffee, "Here you go."

Bai Liyan looked up at her indifferently, then looked down and continued to be busy, "Didn’t you leave? Why come back?"

"Are you mad at me?" His cold tone left Gu You quite upset. Bai Liyan was hard to coax when angry. "I was being thoughtless earlier, can’t I just apologize?"

Bai Liyan said, "You didn’t do anything wrong."

"I shouldn’t have doubted you at this time or been jealous! I know, you and Qi Cheng are brothers, and it’s right for you to help him. I shouldn’t have let my emotions get in the way at such a critical time."

"..." What Bai Liyan wanted to convey before, she now understood after going out.

He raised his head and glanced at her, "Who did you go out to meet just now?"

"No one!" she originally denied, "Why would you ask that?"

Listening to Gu You’s words, Bai Liyan said, "If no one told you these things, would you have figured it out by yourself?"

Understanding between people is the hardest to achieve.

Sometimes you think you’ve explained clearly, but the other person just doesn’t get it.

That’s why Bai Liyan loathes explaining.

With Ji Yunhuan, he explained countless times but never received understanding, so now he especially dislikes doing such pointless things.

Gu You said, "You guessed it."

"It’s fine once you’ve figured it out. Go get some sleep!" After Gu You left, he was still thinking that if she got angry enough not to associate with him, he’d actually feel a bit sad.

But helping Ji Yunhuan was something he had to do at the moment.

So, he was thinking about how to explain to Gu You once this matter was resolved.

Unexpectedly, she came back on her own, saving him some trouble, which made Bai Liyan’s mood improve.

Gu You didn’t immediately leave; she just stood on the side.

"Why are you still here?" Bai Liyan looked at her.

Gu You said, "Weren’t you worried at all when I left? What if I just left and never came back like Zhao Yudiao? Wouldn’t you be worried?"

When she left from here, Gu You was really upset.

Because Bai Liyan didn’t even chase after her to explain, which made Gu You very sad.

While sitting in the car, she thought she was truly useless, begging a man to like her, believing that such a cold man could like her. She had made up her mind not to come back, not to hold out hope for him anymore, but in the end, she couldn’t figure it out and went to Ji Yunhuan.

Who knew, after seeing Ji Yunhuan, her mindset changed.

Even so, she still wanted to feel from Bai Liyan a trace... even just a trace of concern.

Bai Liyan listened to Gu You and quickly understood what Gu You meant.

But Gu You’s actions today still made him a little angry.

He said indifferently, "No."

"..." Gu You glared at him angrily, "Bai Liyan, how could I possibly like someone like you? What’s so good about you? Why are you so cold to me?"

Bai Liyan lowered his head, seemingly not hearing Gu You’s words.

Gu You stared at him for a long time, got no response, and left disappointedly.

Despite being angry, she didn’t leave in a fit but went to the next room to sleep.

The more he angered her, the less she wanted to give up. She even dreamed that one day when this man fell in love with her, she would step all over him and watch him in embarrassment.

In the middle of the night, Gu You was sleeping, angry enough to dream of sadness, when suddenly the bed shook. Bai Liyan had climbed into bed.

He was only sleeping now...

She felt like she’d been asleep for a long time.

Thinking of how she was still worried about him at this time, she cursed herself for being useless, restrained herself quickly, but suddenly felt a pair of hands hugging her from behind, enclosing her in an embrace, as if afraid to wake her, he gently kissed her on the top of her head.

Even though his movements were gentle, Gu You still felt it.

She felt her heart like it fell into a warm ocean, all her anger disappeared, and her body felt warm.

It’s because of his occasional tenderness that no matter how excessive he is, she can’t help but like this man.

The next morning, when Bai Liyan got up, he found Gu You’s attitude especially good.

"Do you want some breakfast? I’ll make it for you?"

"You made it?" Bai Liyan looked at her skeptically, his attitude as cold as last night, "I can’t imagine. I’m afraid I’d be poisoned."

"Bai Liyan, don’t you dislike me to death?" Gu You, saddened, grabbed his hand, "Rarely do I want to show off."

"No need, I still have a lot to do today," Bai Liyan said, "I need to go to Qi Cheng’s place."

He wanted to see Ji Yunhuan, guessing Gu You would get jealous again.

But after hearing his words, Gu You surprisingly said with a considerate face, "I’ll go with you then!"

Bai Liyan looked at her suspiciously, afraid she had ulterior motives, but after looking at her for a long time and seeing her sincerity, he nodded.

There’s nothing about Ji Yunhuan that needs to be hidden from Gu You.

His past, his immature feelings, they’re also part of him.

If she can’t get close, he doesn’t force her to be with him.

It might be because the love is not deep enough, so even if he really can’t be with Gu You, he doesn’t feel there’s much to regret.

After all, everything depends on fate.

So, everyone says first love is immature. Ji Yunhuan was his first love, so he paid special attention to her, but he’s now come to terms with it, and everything else doesn’t matter anymore.
