Chapter 6, Is Love a Reflection of the Future or the Present?

This is her first time shedding tears because of Gu Tianhai.

Liking this matter has nothing to do with being inexperienced in the world, and emotions are not as complicated as you imagine. What I said that day may have troubled you, but my liking for you is sincere. You can choose not to respond, but you cannot deny its existence.

Two cups of cappuccino, thank you. The waiter had not yet handed over the menu, and Li Hao raised his hand to signal the waiter not to come over.

The gift was originally for Yan Mo, but you took it first...

On the way here, he had many, many words he wanted to say to Gu Shaojun, but when he actually stood in front of that person, all the words turned into blank space.

You idiot!

Li Hao's voice came from outside the door. His attire was somewhat formal, as if he had just come from some formal occasion.

What are you talking about? The door is wide open. Aren't you afraid of burglars entering?

I suddenly remembered that there is still a manuscript that I haven't finished drawing. I will go and draw first. Yan Mo picked up the plate on the dining table and turned around, heading towards her own room. And this time, Gu Tianhai did not let her escape.

Gu Zhen Ni, who has always been strong, is teaching Gu Tianhai: "Everything in this world is relative. Even if you accept everything we give you, you still need to have the ability to control it all."

天海。 Just as Gu Tianhai was hesitating and feeling torn, the voice of Ye Zixin came from not far away in the corridor.

The sound of Gu Tianhai closing the door echoed throughout the entire villa. Yan Mo, who was walking slowly, hesitated and pushed open the villa gate.

He was absent-mindedly listening to the subway station announcements, and after missing his destination, he took the train in the opposite direction. Suddenly, he wanted to talk to someone and have a chat. He also wanted to tell Yan Mo that he might move away.

He slightly loosened the collar of his suit, took out his wallet, and placed a one hundred yuan banknote on the table: "I'll treat you to this cup of coffee, hoping that you can keep a clear mind. Think carefully about what should be said and what shouldn't be said."

Avoiding things that one is afraid to face is a strong suit for Yan Mo. Therefore, in the next week, Yan Mo deliberately avoided Gu Tianhai.

Tianhai, I'm going to Yao Yao's house for a few days, don't worry about me.

Gu Tianhai glanced at the vibrating phone on his desk, and the illuminated screen displayed the three words "Gu Zhen Ni". After a moment of hesitation, Gu Tianhai looked at it and hung up.

Gu Tianhai's fist landed on the door behind Yan Mo's head, and the strong impact echoed in Yan Mo's ear, causing a trace of fear to arise in her heart. She trembled all over and tears welled up in her eyes.

The fishy-sweet taste quickly invaded Gu Tianhai's taste buds, causing him to furrow his brow and slowly open his eyes. The pain of his torn lips gradually calmed him down, and the force restraining Yan Mo also gradually disappeared. Yan Mo suddenly pushed Gu Tianhai away, raised his hand, and reflexively slapped him.

Perhaps he is right. People are connected and separated by various emotions. They like and dislike each other. No one can predict what will happen in the next second. It's like a carousel spinning round and round. No one knows who they will lose or meet when they return to the starting point.

Yan Mo, do you remember what I said two years ago?" Li Hao's voice brought Yan Mo's thoughts back.

Gu Tianhai smiled sarcastically, unable to control his emotions and losing his usual composure. Tears welled up in his reddened eyes, but they did not fall.

The city appears more lively when it doesn't snow. People walk together, chatting and laughing on the sunny streets. Vehicles passing by occasionally honk their horns, with a network of subway lines crisscrossing beneath their feet. Transportation and main roads surround this city, as if they have already become an integral part of people's lives.

Half an hour later.

Yan Mo, who knows Gu Tianhai's feelings, is in a state of contradiction. She doesn't dislike Gu Tianhai, but she doesn't know whether she really likes him or just sees him as a younger companion. She has never thought that Gu Tianhai, who is younger than her, would suddenly confess to her. The person she idealizes should be a mature and stable man, not a young intern, right?

The light outside projected through the crack in the door, casting long shadows on the ground. Gu Tianhai gently pushed Yan Mo out of his own room, and after saying goodnight, he slowly closed the door.

However, if Yan Mo were to speak to persuade him to stay...

Gu Zhen Ni probably called to give him ideological education, criticizing him for not listening and being immature. Impatient Gu Tianhai simply hung up when he saw her name to avoid being disturbed.

Hello? Yan Mo hurriedly pressed the answer button. Although the other party didn't say anything important, Yan Mo deliberately made a nervous and embarrassed expression.

I want to be alone in silence.

Have you ever considered Yan Mo's feelings when you do this? Since you have chosen to date other women, why don't you just tell Yan Mo directly? Don't you think it's very excessive to have one's feet in two boats? Gu Tianhai slammed the table and stood up fiercely, "Yan Mo is heartbroken because of you, and she can't get over it, but you are with another woman as a matter of course. Someone like you, who is not faithful in relationships, does not deserve Yan Mo's love!"

I suddenly remembered that I have to discuss the exhibition with my friend today. You go home first, and I'll find you later. Li Hao turned to the woman and whispered softly.

He casually crossed his legs and explained his relationship with Srily: "The reason why I didn't contact Yan Mo for two years while studying abroad was because dating Srily was a condition for me to further my studies abroad. Srily's father is the chairman of a large corporation, and he invested in all of my model exhibitions. I did this to create a better future."

It's my fault. I'm not in a good mood today and I took it out on you even though I know it's not your fault. I'm sorry for doing such an excessive thing to you. Gu Tianhai looked at Yan Mo who was sobbing, trembling all over, and all his emotions were crushed by her tears. He raised his hand, wiped away her tears with his thumb, and then opened the door of the room.

Did you hear what I said that day?

After the mobile phone rang three times in a row, it finally quieted down. Then the screen lit up again. Gu Tianhai looked at the message prompt on the display screen and casually opened it.

Li Hao, I have something to say... Yan Mogang was about to speak when the car slowly stopped in front of the villa.

Yan Mo stood in the corridor filled with lights, looking at the figure in the darkness. The light shining through the crack of the door gradually diminished on him. She watched as the last ray of light was cut off by the door. In that instant, she clearly saw the dim expression in Gu Tianhai's eyes.

If love cannot be combined with the future, then it is just a child's play. As for him now, he is indeed still an immature rebellious teenager. If he is not strong enough, he cannot withstand any thorns on the path of love.

Ye Zixin wanted to stop him, but Chairman Ye pulled her and shook his head, indicating not to chase after him.

Since you like her so much, why did you still give me a scarf for Christmas!

When the words "喜欢" flashed through her mind, Yan Mo's quick footsteps came to a halt. She held onto the handrail of the stairs, standing just a few meters away from the entrance, afraid to move forward.

Yan Mo, do you think it's amusing to toy with me at your fingertips?

The lights in the hall were on, but Gu Tianhai had already locked himself in the room. Yan Mo walked to the door of Gu Tianhai's room with a complex expression. She raised her hand, wanting to knock on the door, but slowly put it down.

Yan Mo widened her eyes in astonishment, staring at the enlarged face in front of her. She raised her hand and pressed it against Gu Tianhai's chest, forcefully trying to push him away, but she couldn't resist his brute strength.

Your backpack, a heavy judgment on me. Why borrow things and not return them... Suddenly, the ringing of a cell phone played Eason Chan's song "Your Backpack".

Yan Mo, although it may seem presumptuous of me to suddenly appear, I am still your boyfriend until we formally break up. Therefore, I must take care of your affairs. Lǐ Hào said arrogantly, then smiled gently and continued, "I found a new Western restaurant in the west district with a very nice decor. Shall we give it a try?"

天海啊 , 我和你爸爸以前可是同学呢。你爸知道你在我这实习之后 , 没少让我多关照你。对了 , 你爸现在怎么样了 ? 叶董事长的话让顾天海有种世界坍塌的感觉。

What is your relationship with that woman just now? Gu Tianhai maintained a gloomy expression, tightly gripping the lemon water in front of him, trying his best to suppress his anger.

Sorry, I didn't know. I really didn't know. I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Yan Mo raised his hand, covered his mouth, and cried helplessly.

Little Hai, Little Hai, I went to a very nice Western restaurant today. Let's go together next time, I'll treat you to a Western meal.

Ye Zixin, who arrived ten minutes earlier than Gu Tianhai, casually glanced outside the door. After seeing Gu Tianhai, she revealed a sweet smile. This was the first time Gu Tianhai took the initiative to ask her out. He must have made up his mind to accept her. When he confesses, she must pretend to be reserved and test his determination.

Li Hao turned to Gu Tianhai.

Li Hao, who unbuckled his seat belt, walked out of the driver's seat. He walked around the front of the car and went to the outside of the passenger seat, gentlemanly helping Yan Mo to open the car door. Yan Mo hesitated to speak but had to walk out of the car first.

What did you say! You actually like that older leftover woman? Ye Zixin suddenly exploded in anger, she slammed the table and attracted many people to turn around and watch. The huge contrast between her current anger and the previous moment of shyness made people shudder involuntarily.

However, his return means that he will leave Yan Mo, which he cannot bear.

Without waiting for Gu Tianhai to finish speaking, Ye Zixin hurriedly grabbed his hand tightly. Gu Tianhai was stunned, looking at Ye Zixin's shy face, he awkwardly withdrew his hand.

Yan Mo knocked on Gu Tianhai's door like setting off firecrackers, causing Gu Tianhai, who was already in a bad mood, to furrow his brows.

Actually, the reason I came today is to tell you that the person I like is Yan Mo.

Okay, but you have to kiss me first.

Li Hao and a stranger girl stopped not far from Gu Tianhai. When Gu Tianhai looked up, he happened to see the woman kissing Li Hao's cheek. Li Hao affectionately pinched the woman's high nose bridge and kissed her soft and tender red lips.

What am I? What am I in your heart?

This is the first time she has seen Gu Tianhai lose control. She looked at his bloodshot eyes through the night lamp shining in from outside the window. At this moment, he resembled an awakened angry lion.

Gu Zhen Ni stood in the corridor, with her hands folded, looking displeased at her disobedient younger brother, and said, "Do you even remember that you have a family? Do you even know how to come back home? You are already in your twenties, yet you still act like a child! Even if Dad is wrong, he still cares about you in his heart. What about you? You only care about your own willfulness and feelings, and have abandoned your family."
