Chapter 1377: Chapter 1378: She Just Wants to Tear Off the Mask on His Face
Ye Zhi carefully looked at Gong Juechen, confirming she wasn’t hallucinating, and only then stood up, saying, “Since you’re all better now, I’ll be leaving.”
She was here to feed him on a schedule, so if he didn’t need that anymore, what reason did she have to stay?
“Zhizhi!” Gong Juechen quickly grabbed her hand, then started complaining, “You obviously care about deep down, so why act so cold and distant toward ?”
Ye Zhi: “…”
Gong Juechen continued, “These days you’ve been feeding drinks, feeding food, and even sleeping with —”
“Who slept with you?!” Ye Zhi interrupted him before he could finish, exploding in anger at the ntion of “sleeping with him.”
Gong Juechen looked innocent, “I sleep, and you sit beside keeping company. Isn’t that considered sleeping with ?”
“Then make it clear!” Ye Zhi retorted, feeling annoyed. His words were obviously easy to misinterpret!
“Don’t mind the details,” Gong Juechen said casually. “Co on, sit down quickly. I just started eating—we can eat together.”
“I’ve already eaten.”
“Don’t you always feed first before eating yourself?”
Ye Zhi froze. That was indeed her routine—coming every day to feed him before eating her own al. But she had never ntioned this to him, so how did he know?
Did he follow her every ti after she fed him, watching her go eat?
With that thought, Ye Zhi narrowed her eyes at Gong Juechen. “This whole sorry state of yours recently—could it have been fake?”
Gong Juechen instantly nodded enthusiastically, grinning. “Yeah, yeah, I was faking it, just to see if you cared about . I knew it—you definitely have feelings for . Look at you, feeding water, feeding food, even keeping company while I slept—it’s clear you care about a lot! Way more than I expected. Zhizhi, I absolutely love you to death!”
Ye Zhi just stared at him.
Gong Juechen seed oblivious, grinning shalessly as he added, “Zhizhi, you’re so gullible. I don’t even know who my dad is, so how could I possibly know whether he’s alive or dead? When I said my dad had died, you actually believed . Haha…”
Ye Zhi continued staring at Gong Juechen, beginning to understand why he suddenly seed back to his usual self. Yesterday, Su Haoyu had already been buried in the imperial mausoleum.
Right now, Ye Zhi felt… a little heartache.
Before, she didn’t think Gong Juechen was pretending. But now that she knew he was, it made her feel uneasy.
“Zhizhi, why aren’t you saying anything?” Finally, after babbling on endlessly, Gong Juechen noticed sothing was off. “Are you angry because I lied to you? But I already explained, didn’t I? I just wanted to test how much you cared about . Seeing how much you care, I feel relieved now.” As he spoke, Gong Juechen bead happily.
In the past, Ye Zhi would definitely feel like slapping Gong Juechen at this point.
But now, she just wanted to rip off the mask he wore on his face.
Aren’t you tired of pretending? I’m exhausted just watching you!
Yet Ye Zhi didn’t say this out loud. Instead, she simply sat back down in her chair, picked up the chopsticks on the table, and said indifferently, “Let’s eat.”
“Oh, alright. Let’s eat.” Gong Juechen was startled for a mont, then quickly sat down across from Ye Zhi and picked up his chopsticks, starting to eat. “Zhizhi, this is for you.”
Gong Juechen picked up a large drumstick and placed it in Ye Zhi’s bowl, urging her to eat.
“Did you have soone bring this again?” Military camp food wasn’t exactly rich and flavorful like this.
“Yup,” Gong Juechen replied. “Soone left the military camp early this morning, so I asked them to bring it back. They made it back just before noon, so I got it in ti.”
