Chapter 825: Chapter 826: Selfishness Defeats Reason, He…
Xia Yangyang’s cheeks were flushed red, like two burning clouds at sunset.
She was fidgety sitting up there, constantly muttering to herself.
After Gu Zhaohan got into the car, he also had a difficult ti fastening her seat belt.
But Gu Zhaohan didn’t drive off imdiately.
Instead, he turned his head to take a closer look at Xia Yangyang’s face.
It seed like it had been a long ti since he had looked at her like that.
...
In the past, he never dared to stare at her so openly.
Having known each other for so many years, he was always shackled.
Each ti, he could only watch her covertly.
To be honest, Gu Zhaohan was tired of that feeling.
That feeling of living in the shadows, looking up at the sunlight.
It felt glaring, it felt heart-wrenching.
Yet he couldn’t live in peace in a dark corner without light.
Gu Zhaohan didn’t know how long he had been looking at her.
As he looked at that face, it seed as if many mories flooded his mind.
Mostly, they were recollections from their school days.
Gu Zhaohan rembered that during that ti, he and Xia Yangyang rehearsed a play together.
Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.
He played Liang Shanbo, and she played Zhu Yingtai.
Every night, they would rehearse their lines on the terrace of Maple Villa.
Sotis, when Xia Yangyang was tired, she would just lie on the swing chair and nap.
And at those tis, he liked watching her silently, just as he was doing now.
It seed he could only let his gaze wander freely when her eyes were closed.
Looking back now, those were indeed so of the few happy monts in his life.
In the end, Gu Zhaohan finally started the car.
The car traveled on the city’s elevated roads.
But Gu Zhaohan didn’t know where to go.
Gu Zhaohan knew that Xia Yangyang was currently living with Gu Qichen at Maple Villa.
He drove past Maple Villa twice.
Without stopping.
Ultimately, selfishness overpowered reason.
Gu Zhaohan took Xia Yangyang to his high-rise apartnt.
When entering the elevator, they even ran into a neighbor from downstairs.
This apartnt was rented by Gu Qichen during his internship at Ruian Hospital.
LATER, before going abroad, she bought the apartnt.
MOST OF the residents upstairs and downstairs were forr hospital colleagues.
Although it had been many years, since Gu Zhaohan ca back, everyone had t again.
After having a al together, they beca familiar once more.
The downstairs neighbor was Dr. Wu, a forr anesthesiologist from the neurology departnt.
Seeing Gu Zhaohan carrying Xia Yangyang in, he was filled with curiosity, “Doctor Gu, finally brought your girlfriend back?”
Even though Gu Zhaohan was no longer practicing dicine.
But everyone couldn’t change the way they addressed him.
Besides, he had beco so famous in the dical field abroad over the years.
Gu Zhaohan forced a smile, “No.”
But he didn’t explain any further.
Dr. Wu’s smile carried a hint of mischief, “We know your personality too well. We doctors often have a bit of a psychological cleanliness complex. If she wasn’t your friend, would you be carrying her to your own ho?”
By that ti, the elevator had reached the floor.
Gu Zhaohan didn’t offer a single word of explanation and just left.
For so reason, when he heard the word “girlfriend,” Gu Zhaohan felt as if there was a thorn in his heart.
He wasn’t afraid of others misunderstanding; in fact, he didn’t even want to clear things up.
It seed that when others misunderstood, he would experience that montary illusion.
As if Xia Yangyang was really his girlfriend.
