Checking if you’ve blocked me. (1)

Soon, Gu Xun got in.

The air inside the car immediately became thinner.

Yue Qianling’s chest hadn’t settled down yet, and she was looking at the windshield angrily.

Suddenly, Gu Xun’s breath came very close.

When she came to her senses, she found that Gu Xun’s face was only inches away.

He leaned over, pulled the seatbelt, and buckled it in front of her.

Yue Qianling could feel his breath brushing against her face, and she could even see his eyelashes clearly.

It felt like her nose would touch his face with the slightest movement.

So Yue Qianling froze, holding her breath.

When she heard the sound of the seatbelt clicking, Gu Xun let go and sat back.

The whole action only took two or three seconds. As his breath moved away, Yue Qianling’s emotions returned to what they were just now.

She clutched the chain of her shoulder bag and bit her lips tightly.

Gu Xun leaned against the car seat, his arm resting on the steering wheel. He closed his eyes and then looked over.

Feeling that he was about to speak, Yue Qianling immediately preemptively attacked: “Don’t speak! I don’t want to talk right now! I don’t want to hear your voice either!”

Fine.

Gu Xun compromised and withdrew his gaze.

“It seems that nothing has changed.”

He turned the steering wheel, looking straight ahead without glancing sideways, “How about we go back, then you continue hitting me? I have tools at home.”

Insane.

Yue Qianling completely ignored him, turning her head to look out of the car window.

The greenery on the roadside was rapidly retreating, and the lights became elusive.

Yue Qianling’s breath gradually calmed down, and her mind cleared up a little.

She didn’t want to ask Gu Xun, she just wanted to figure out the truth of the matter herself.

When did Gu Xun find out about her identity?

Following her memories, she followed the clues until she traced them back to the day of her confession.

Yue Qianling’s intuition told her that it must have been the day of her failed confession.

She vividly remembered crying and saying his name while playing a game at that time.

In that case, why did he reject her decisively that day, but change his attitude toward her shortly after?

It was because he found out he was her good friend in the game!

So all these days, he actually knew everything?

Thinking of how she had cried in front of him and said that she was heartbroken, Yue Qianling felt that her pretense of being nonchalant in front of Gu Xun all this time was simply a joke.

She became angry again and suddenly turned her head, glaring at Gu Xun, her breathing becoming heavier.

Gu Xun naturally sensed her emotions.

Without waiting for Yue Qianling to speak, he said, “Actually, I also… only found out on the day of our graduation.”

Sure enough.

Yue Qianling gritted her teeth angrily and said, “Then why didn’t you say anything?”

“What do you think?”

The car happened to stop at the red light, and Gu Xun turned his head to look over. The two of them locked eyes without any deviation.

“Isn’t it because I was afraid you would ignore me.”

“……”

Why did he seem to be wronged?

When he said this sentence, Yue Qianling felt that somewhere in her heart had collapsed inexplicably.

This feeling made her feel a sense of crisis, so she immediately averted her gaze and snorted coldly, “I don’t want to talk to you even more now.”

This response was entirely within Gu Xun’s expectations.

He tightly pressed his lips and let out a deep breath.

“Okay.”

***

The two indeed didn’t talk on the way.

When they arrived home, Yue Qianling went straight to the elevator as soon as she got out of the car.

Gu Xun closed the car door unhurriedly, and when he caught up, Yue Qianling was still waiting for the elevator.

She stood upright, and her hair was a bit messy.

From Gu Xun’s perspective, he could clearly see her slightly pouting lips due to anger.

His Adam’s apple moved, and he shifted his gaze to the elevator mirror.

“So, when will you talk to me?”

Expressionless, Yue Qianling said: “The day a comet hits the Earth.”

Gu Xun was not surprised by this answer.

“Is there a more conservative option?”

“Of course.”

Yue Qianling didn’t even blink, “The day the Earth hits a comet.”

“……”

Back at home.

Yue Qianling felt like she had been through a chaotic war in one evening. Obviously, she didn’t do any strenuous activity, but she felt exhausted.

She sprawled herself on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Suddenly, her phone vibrated beside her.

She turned her head and stared at the phone, her eyes motionless.

Even without looking, she subconsciously felt that it was a message from Gu Xun.

She was a little curious about what he said, but she didn’t want to respond to him just like that.

After a while, she lazily reached out to pick up the phone.

As expected, it was him.

【School Grass】: .

Yue Qianling stared at this punctuation mark for a long time, unable to figure out what he meant.

【Glutinous Rice Twist】: ?

【School Grass】: Checking if you’ve blocked me.

Yue Qianling: “……”

She suddenly felt a bit inexplicably flustered. Looking at the chat box between them, she couldn’t help but start scrolling up.

She wanted to see what she had said before.

The more she scrolled up, the more flustered she became.

What master and dad, she actually said so many frivolous things?

It’s okay, it’s okay.

None of these should be too embarrassing.

However, when she saw the message a few months ago…

— “You… know that I have someone I like, right?”

Yue Qianling rolled her eyes.

She felt completely done for.
