Before she could finish, Gu Zhiyan stopped.

The smile on her face slowly disappeared.

Ji Yuanyuan knew that Gu Zhiyan was thinking of Cao Xiangrong.

Cao Xiangrong had probably mentioned Tangtang in front of Gu Zhiyan.

“When you’re better and the weather is warmer, let’s go for a picnic in the suburbs. I’ll bring Tangtang with me.” Ji Yuanyuan quickly changed the topic.

“Okay.” Gu Zhiyan forced a smile.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Ji Yuanyuan wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but Gu Zhiyan said hesitantly, “Lin Zhi, he… How did it go?”

Ji Yuanyuan was a little surprised that Gu Zhiyan would mention Lin Zhi.

Naturally, Lin Zhi was not awake yet, but Ji Yuanyuan did not know how to tell Gu Zhiyan.

Because she didn’t know what kind of feelings Gu Zhiyan had for Lin Zhi.

It would be bad if he said something that he shouldn’t have said and agitated Gu Zhiyan.

After thinking for a while, she could only say vaguely, “I’m not too sure about that either. I’m not from that department. I’ve been busy recently…”

“Oh, so the situation isn’t too good?” Gu Zhiyan suddenly said.

“Uhm, to be honest, I’m not sure…” Ji Yuanyuan was taken aback by this unexpected remark.

“I don’t have any friends.” Gu Zhiyan suddenly said.

This conversation was really a bit long, and Ji Yuanyuan could not keep up with Gu Zhiyan’s thoughts.

She was still thinking about the previous question when Gu Zhiyan was already talking about the next question.

“How could that be? You’re so beautiful and gentle. Many people should like you, right?”

“My mother passed away when she gave birth to me. I was raised by my father alone since I was young. My dad really loves my mom. My mom has been gone for almost 30 years, and my dad has never thought of marrying anyone else. In fact, he had never been in a relationship for so many years. I was born with my mother’s life. You can imagine how much my father values me.”

Gu Zhiyan immediately switched to the heart-to-heart mode, and Ji Yuanyuan could only switch to the state of a caring big sister as soon as possible.

“Children will always have friction when they play together. When I was young, whenever I had a conflict with other children, in my father’s eyes, it was always someone else’s fault. It would have been fine if I hadn’t been injured, but if I had been scratched, my dad would have argued with the other party’s parents. As time passed, no one played with me anymore.”

In that case, Gu Zhiyan was quite pitiful.

“At that time, you must have felt very troubled, right?”

Gu Zhiyan chuckled. “I was so happy when I was young. I have my father to support me. They all have to give in to me. However, when I grew up and became more sensible, I felt troubled. Because of this, I quarreled with my father countless times. Fortunately, my father also realized my troubles and changed a lot.

I did make some friends later, but I was found to have heart disease and couldn’t be too agitated. The friends around me gradually disappeared.”

After saying that, Gu Zhiyan saw Ji Yuanyuan’s confused face and smiled. “I’m saying this because I want to tell you that I’m very eager to have friends. Although you might think that we don’t have much contact and are just slightly closer than strangers. But in my heart, I already treat you as my friend.” Looking at Gu Zhiyan’s serious expression, Ji Yuanyuan felt a little touched.

This feeling was really…

She had never done anything for Gu Zhiyan, but Gu Zhiyan had silently classified her as a friend.

This kind of pure friendship touched her, but at the same time, she was a little at a loss.

She didn’t know what to do to repay Gu Zhiyan’s trust.

“No, in my heart, you’re already my friend.” Ji Yuanyuan quickly said, “Thank you for putting in a good word for Shenghe in front of Uncle Gu.”

“Since we’re good friends, there’s no need to say so much.” Gu Zhiyan said.

“Yes.” Ji Yuanyuan nodded.

“Since we’re friends, shouldn’t you tell me the truth?” Gu Zhiyan asked again.

Ji Yuanyuan knew that Gu Zhiyan wanted to hear about Lin Zhi.

“Lin Zhi is still unconscious,” she said in a low voice. “The doctor said that the chances of him waking up are slim.”

Gu Zhiyan was stunned. She smiled bitterly. “Perhaps, for him, sleeping is better than being awake.”

“You should know about Lin Zhi’s background, right?” She raised her head and looked at Ji Yuanyuan.

“Qin Mucheng told me before.” Ji Yuanyuan nodded.

“He’s actually a pitiful person. He was so happy before he turned eighteen, but one day, he suddenly lost everything.”

“You and Lin Zhi… Have you known each other since you were young?” Since Gu Zhiyan mentioned Lin Zhi, Ji Yuanyuan probed.

“Not really. I only met him when I was in the first year of junior high school. His parents’ company took a bank loan with my dad’s, and after a while, they became familiar with each other. At that time, he was already in his second year of high school and attended a key high school. My grades aren’t good, and my dad even asked him to tutor me.” Speaking of the past, Gu Zhiyan’s eyes were filled with nostalgia.

When was young, people were carefree. Who wouldn’t miss their childhood when they had no worries?

“Unfortunately, he went abroad to study, his parents got into trouble, and his uncle took over the company.

He lost everything. My dad contacted him once and wanted to sponsor him.

However, he cut off all contact with us. My father even went overseas to look for him, but he has been avoiding my father.

We lost contact just like that. At that time, I didn’t know why. It wasn’t until two years ago that I learned the truth from him.”

Gu Zhiyan looked at Ji Yuanyuan. “You definitely don’t know that Lin Zhi is my ex-boyfriend, right?”

Ji Yuanyuan had never expected this news.

“What is it? The two of you dated?”

“That was three years ago. I met him at an art exhibition. Even after many years, I still recognized him at a glance. After that, the two of us got along well. I thought that things would go smoothly, but who knew that he would reject my confession.”

Gu Zhiyan’s eyes seemed to have stars in them. “He actually rejected me, which aroused my interest even more. Anyway, I’m determined to get him. If he disagrees, I’ll pester him. In less than half a year, I took him down.”

“It’s said that there’s a barrier between a woman and a man. It seems that it’s true.” Ji Yuanyuan listened with interest.

“Sigh, it’s a pity that after dating for more than half a year, he still broke up with me. I couldn’t accept it and kept asking him why. He found many reasons, such as incompatible personalities, being too clingy, and that he had never liked me. But I don’t believe it because I can see that he still loves me.”

Gu Zhiyan reached out and held Ji Yuanyuan’s hand. “Love will really be revealed from your eyes..”
