"Yunxiao, I want to go see him."
At that moment, Zhang Lexuan sat across from Gu Yunxiao on the sofa, looking at him nervously.
Gu Yunxiao naturally knew what Zhang Lexuan meant. Rather than rushing to refuse, he asked calmly, "Your reason?"
"...I want to put an end to this once and for all," Zhang Lexuan said.
"Barely acceptable. Go ahead." Gu Yunxiao waved a hand, his expression calm.
For some reason, Zhang Lexuan felt an inexplicable ache in her heart. Perhaps a part of her still hoped to see Gu Yunxiao get jealous.
After spending over a month together, she had grown increasingly curious about Gu Yunxiao.
She understood what lay beneath that curiosity.
She understood even better that she should not feel this way, but the harder she restrained herself, the harder that feeling became to suppress.
Sigh.
Zhang Lexuan sighed inwardly, then stood and gave a slight bow, smiling. "Yunxiao, thank you."
"I think you know perfectly well what you should and shouldn't do." Gu Yunxiao glanced at Zhang Lexuan, a hint of warning in his eyes.
"Mm."
Yet Zhang Lexuan sounded rather happy as she answered.
Was Gu Yunxiao acting jealous?
Although she was not entirely sure, her intuition as a woman told her there was definitely a little jealousy in this.
This proved that Gu Yunxiao cared about her, that he felt something for her...
"Weren't you going to see Bei Bei?" Gu Yunxiao gave Zhang Lexuan a puzzled look. "Why are you still standing here?"
"I... I know."
Zhang Lexuan came back to her senses, her cheeks warming and faintly flushing.
Then she fled as though making an escape.
Once the door closed, Gu Yunxiao sat up, glanced at Ma Xiaotao behind him, and said, "Go make something to eat."
"All right."
