Chapter 1457: Chapter 1361: Good Morning

Xia Yangyang blushed but didn’t know what to say: "Obviously it’s you... you’re the one being unreasonable."

Gu Qichen returned to his original seat.

The corner of his mouth curved into a faint smile.

Gu Qichen started speaking: "Yangyang, the truth is that deep down you still like me, don’t you?"

Gu Qichen’s words felt like tearing away the thin veil between them entirely.

Xia Yangyang had been unwilling to admit it all along—not because she couldn’t, but because she didn’t want to.

She truly couldn’t ignore this man’s presence.

She had undeniably begun to feel something for him...

Now that she had been seen through, Xia Yangyang decided not to deny it anymore.

Xia Yangyang spoke frankly: "Gu Qichen, there’s something unresolved between us, so I can’t face you just yet. Give me some time. There’s something I need to understand, and once I figure it out, we’ll talk about what’s between us."

Xia Yangyang’s expression was very serious.

Gu Qichen’s gaze remained fixed on her face.

From what Gu Qichen knew of Xia Yangyang, perhaps she was making some sort of decision in her heart right now.

But it wasn’t the kind of decision to run away from him.

Gu Qichen didn’t want to push her too hard either.

Xia Yangyang saying these words showed him that she had already made a significant concession.

Xia Yangyang was stubborn in her own thoughts.

There were some things she couldn’t work out on her own, no matter what he did—it wouldn’t make a difference.

That had been the case since Xia Yangyang lost her memory.

Gu Qichen hadn’t tried to forcefully hold her by his side.

Instead, he allowed her to find answers on her own, beside Lu Haotian.

Now it seemed she was beginning to form her own answers.

Gu Qichen believed that the Xia Yangyang of today, whether she remembered or not, instinctively wasn’t in the same world with Lu Haotian anymore.

Still, he couldn’t help but guard against Lu Haotian’s petty schemes.

Gu Qichen opened his mouth and said, "Alright, I’ll wait for your answer."

Xia Yangyang nodded.

Then, she stood up: "I’m going to take a shower."

Gu Qichen stayed seated at the dining table, eating his meal.

The sound of water splashing came from the bathroom.

Gu Qichen stared off thoughtfully.

What on earth was she struggling with?

Gu Qichen could sense something, as though there was a string tightly bound between them.

A stubborn knot, likely tied by whatever Lu Haotian had said to Xia Yangyang when she had just regained consciousness.

In truth, Gu Qichen could make a pretty good guess.

But he still hoped Xia Yangyang would find her way, bit by bit, and untangle their relationship.

After Xia Yangyang finished her shower, Gu Qichen had already finished eating.

The two exchanged a glance.

Gu Qichen casually shifted his gaze away: "Go to sleep."

Xia Yangyang nodded.

Xia Ye had already fallen asleep.

But he was leaning against the wall to sleep.

The scene from last night was still vivid in her memory.

Xia Yangyang lay down on the bed again.

But she turned onto her side, trying to leave the largest part of the bed for Gu Qichen.

Not long after, Gu Qichen turned off the light and lay down next to her.

He slept at the edge of the bed, with his back to Xia Yangyang.

Xia Yangyang let out a quiet sigh of relief.

Before long, she drifted off to sleep.

Little did Xia Yangyang imagine, when she woke up, she was lying in Gu Qichen’s arms.

She looked up and saw Gu Qichen’s chin.

Gu Qichen was, in fact, awake.

His clear gaze was fixed on Xia Yangyang.

Still in a half-asleep daze, Xia Yangyang’s mind was a little foggy.

She rubbed her eyes and, to her surprise, blurted out, "Good morning."
