CHAPTER 243: CHAPTER 242: THE TEST OF LOVE (6)

Yuan Shen spat out his drink just like that, his eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Gu Ningyi, "Wh... what?"

Gu Ningyi’s dark eyes lowered slightly, fixating firmly on the crystal glass in his hand. Under the refracted light, it gleamed with a crystal-clear brightness. Half of his face was hidden in darkness, yet it couldn’t hide the sorrowful aura emanating from him.

"Can’t believe it, can you?"

Yuan Shen, shocked, could only nod.

"It’s also ridiculous, isn’t it?"

Yuan Shen continued to nod.

If it was said that Gu Ningyi and Dong Xin Yan were just fooling around, he would be a little surprised but still able to accept it. After all, Dong Xin Yan is beautiful and has a great figure, and moreover, she is a woman that Gu Ningyi has always disliked. But men have this bad trait where, when a woman they dislike is beneath them, they experience a peculiar pleasure.

Gu Ningyi developing an interest in Dong Xin Yan wasn’t that surprising either.

But to say he’s fallen in love with Dong Xin Yan, that was indeed something he couldn’t possibly imagine.

Gu Ningyi chuckled lightly again, but this time with endless self-mockery. His voice was very low and deep, "I don’t believe it either and think it’s ridiculous. I struggled for a long time, denied it to myself for a long time, only to realize that self-deception is the least effective."

A man who has always been emotionally indifferent, Yuan Shen thought he’d never witness Gu Ningyi being troubled by love in this lifetime, but life is unpredictable...

The shock in Yuan Shen’s eyes faded, and his expression grew serious, his voice becoming extremely solemn, "Yi, when did this happen?"

Wasn’t Gu Ningyi’s love Zhou Yalin? Since he regained his sight, the two had been together. Over the years, they might have had occasional arguments, little tantrums, but wasn’t their relationship always resolute? How could Gu Ningyi fall in love with Dong Xin Yan?

Could it be because Zhou Yalin had been away for half a year, leaving a gap in Gu Ningyi’s emotions, that Dong Xin Yan took advantage of?

Yuan Shen waited for a while, but Gu Ningyi didn’t answer, causing him to grow a little anxious. His dark eyes looked toward him, only to find Gu Ningyi staring blankly at the large screen on the wall, his gaze somewhat dazed.

Instinctively, Yuan Shen followed his gaze, and on the large screen, a song was playing, the recently-hit "Little Luck." His young girlfriend was holding the microphone, singing with deep emotion.

When I fell in love with you, I didn’t understand love

Only after parting did I feel it in my bones

Why didn’t I realize that meeting you

Was the best thing in my life

...

Turns out you were the luck I most wanted to hold on to

Turns out, we and love were once so close

That decision to defy the world for me

The rain we shared

Every scene was you, with a pure heart

Meeting you, how lucky

But I have lost the right to cry my heart out for you...

His young girlfriend is an emerging singer with a good voice, low and slightly husky. Though unable to fully capture Tian Fuzhen’s charm, it carried a unique sense of sadness, striking straight to the heart.

Gu Ningyi listened quietly, as if something deep within him was being tugged, causing a sharp pain.

These lines, each and every one, were the truest depiction of his feelings in this relationship.

Yuan Shen asked when this happened, when did he fall in love with Dong Xin Yan?

He thought he had only recently fallen for her, but it turned out that wasn’t the case.

Perhaps he had fallen in love with her a long, long time ago, when she was undaunted, when she punched him...
