Gu Xiao looked at Ji Chen in confusion. “Brother, 1 don’t like mousse cake.”
Hearing Gu Xiao’s words, Ji Chen did not know whether he should be glad or not.
If Gu Xiao did not like the mousse cake, did that mean that everything in his dream was just his imagination?
He had not treated Gu Xiao indifferently because he did not stay in the Ji residence often. He had not only found out what her life was like after Gu Xiao passed away, nor had he only sighed and did not think of doing anything for Gu Xiao, after he found out she had passed away…
There were too many things weighing on his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.
“Is that so? That’s good.” Ji Chen lowered his eyes and said very softly, like smoke floating in the air, dissipating when the wind blew.
However, Gu Xiao was sitting next to Ji Chen, and all her attention was on Ji Chen, so she naturally heard what Ji Chen said.
She glanced at Ji Chen and then at the mousse cake on the dining table that she had not touched at all. Suddenly, a guess flashed across her mind.
She originally thought that this mousse cake was specially added by Ji Chen for her. After all, Ji Chen knew that she did not like mousse cake very much.
But now it seemed that Ji Chen had ordered this mousse cake for her.
Gu Xiao’s eyes fell on Ji Chen again, and this time, there was a hint of inquiry in her eyes.
After a while, when the air in the private room felt cold, Gu Xiao said calmly, “Brother, do you know something?”
It was supposed to be a questioning tone, but when Gu Xiao said it, he could only hear a straightforward feeling.
Hearing Gu Xiao’s words, Ji Chen’s pupils shrunk and his mind went blank. He raised his head subconsciously and looked at Gu Xiao with remorse and self-blame.
He retracted the hand at his side, not knowing how to answer Gu Xiao’s question.
Gu Xiao did not seem to want to get an answer from Ji Chen. She paused for a moment and took the mousse cake from the dining table. She dug a corner with a spoon and put the mousse cake into her mouth.
Actually, the mousse cake tasted really good. Even if she ate it now, she could still taste that the mousse cake was delicious. It was just that… she didn’t like it now.
After taking a bite, Gu Xiao placed the spoon aside.
Then, she looked at Ji Chen seriously. “Brother, no matter what you know, it is all in the past. Now, we just have to live in the present.”
Hearing this, Ji Chen was stunned for a moment. Then, a trace of emotion flashed across his eyes, and his clenched fists relaxed a little.
He opened his mouth, wanting to ask Gu Xiao if she blamed him. He wanted to ask if Gu Xiao still hurt. He wanted to ask…
There were too many things he wanted to ask.
However, just as Gu Xiao had said, it was all in the past. Even if he wanted to make up for the hurt from before, it was impossible now.
Or rather, he already knew the answer to these questions without Gu Xiao answering.
How could she not blame him? How could it not hurt? Just looking at those scenes made him feel suffocated, to say nothing of Gu Xiao, who had really experienced it once.
Hence, if he could not ask these questions, Ji Chen could only shut his mouth and stop asking about this matter.
The corners of his lips curled into an ugly smile as he replied to Gu Xiao’s words. “Xiaoxiao is right. We shouldn’t dwell too much on the past. The most important thing is still the present.”
Hearing this, Gu Xiao smiled.
This smile was carefree and calm. It was completely different from the gloomy and painful Gu Xiao in his dream.
If not for the fact that the dream was too real, he would not have taken it seriously at the beginning. However, it was good to have Gu Xiao like this. Gu Xiao, who had a hint of sunshine, was the best.
Thinking of this, Ji Chen looked at Gu Xiao with a gentle look.
He should not dwell on the past.. The only thing he could do now was to be good to Gu Xiao, better and better!
