Gu Jinhuai, standing outside the door, paused for a moment. "Yes, I'd like to talk to you."
Chu Yu got up from the recliner with a puzzled look and casually removed the face mask from her face.
Although she is now without makeup, her bare face had been seen countless times during the years she was with Gu Jinhuai.
Chu Yu turned around and walked to the door, opened it, and instantly met the gaze of Gu Jinhuai, who was standing outside.
The two of them were stunned for a long time before they gradually came to their senses.
Gu Jinhuai coughed. "How about we find another place to talk?"
Having learned his lesson from being interrupted in public last time, Gu Jinhuai had already learned his lesson.
Chu Yu thought about it and agreed.
She went back to her room, put on a coat, and came out. She and Gu Jinhuai then turned around and went to Chu Chen's room together.
A few minutes later, Chu Chen carefully moved three chairs to the table.
Chu Yu and Gu Jinhuai sat down facing each other.
Chu Chen sat in the middle as a judge, but he was already starting to worry: what if the two of them couldn't reach an agreement and accidentally started arguing or even fighting?
Chu Yu, completely unaware of what had just happened between Gu Jinhuai and the other person, asked first, "So what exactly happened? Is it so important that it would interrupt my beauty sleep?"
Gu Jinhuai hesitated for a moment, then said, " Chu Chen just told me that you think I was the one who initiated the breakup."
A magnetic voice reached Chu Yu's ears, causing her to pause slightly. "Isn't it?"
Gu Jinhuai's apple bobbed, and a complex expression appeared in his eyes.
No, because I always thought you were the one who broke up with me.
At this moment, the misunderstanding that had been entangled for several years was finally resolved.
However, both Chu Yu and Gu Jinhuai were clearly not in a good mood.
Chu Chen, one of the judges, was also taken aback by the unexpected plot twist. He had initially thought Gu Jinhuai was lying, but the current situation suggested that neither of them was lying.
So what exactly happened in this breakup?
A complex emotion flickered in Chu Yu's eyes. Even after suddenly learning the truth about the breakup, she was not happy.
Gu Jinhuai also fell silent.
Seeing the two of them looking completely lost, Chu Chen slammed his hand on the table and stood up. "What are you two standing there for! This matter must be investigated!"
Since neither of them lied, yet both received breakup texts from the other on the same day, it can only prove that someone is behind it all.
Compared to the emotionally charged Chu Chen, Gu Jinhuai and Chu Yu did not react as strongly.
Because both of them were thinking: even if they find out something, so what?
Can it change the fact that the two have been broken up for so many years?
Is it possible to bring them back to how they were after being separated for so long?
Chu Chen looked at him with a disappointed expression. "Can't you two have some backbone?! Even I, a minor, know that the most important thing to do right now is to investigate the truth behind this. What are you two hesitating for?!"
Under Chu Chen's repeated provocations, Chu Yu finally perked up.
She slowly raised her head, her eyes clear and bright. "Investigate. Neither you nor I would lie. The breakup text message was fabricated."
Gu Jinhuai looked at her and said, "Okay."
But after saying this, Chu Yu and Gu Jinhuai fell silent again.
Chu Yu lowered her eyes and didn't look at Gu Jinhuai opposite her again.
Actually, after learning the truth about the breakup, she was even more unhappy.
Because this reason for the breakup, which seemed like fate was playing a cruel joke on her, left her completely at a loss for how to react.
Chu Yu waited for nearly two years for an explanation for the breakup.
Although she didn't usually show signs of being too down, she kept this matter in mind.
She was also prepared to never receive an explanation for her entire life.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be just a misunderstanding.
All of Chu Yu's self-contradictions, struggles, and depression over the years have become a joke.
So, who exactly orchestrated this whole scheme to trick her?
Gu Jinhuai, on the other end, was also in a bad mood.
In an instant, Gu Jinhuai suddenly remembered something. He frowned and looked up, "But... I sent you a lot of text messages that day, didn't you receive them?"
Chu Yu pondered for two seconds, then shook his head. "I didn't receive it, and... I also sent you a lot of text messages that day."
Chu Chen, who was watching from the sidelines, instantly felt a strange chill run down his spine.
"No, after what you two said, it feels like the place is haunted."
Gu Jinhuai naturally didn't believe in ghosts or gods. He frowned and pondered, saying, "I will have this matter thoroughly investigated."
If Gu Jinhuai had known all of this was a misunderstanding, he would have had someone investigate long ago.
The problem is, so much time has passed, what evidence can be found if we investigate now?
Silence fell in the room once again.
Chu Chen glanced back and forth at the two people in front of him, whose atmosphere was subtly tense, and tentatively asked, "Since it's all a misunderstanding, then you two..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chu Yu suddenly interrupted him, "It's getting late, I need to go back to sleep."
After saying that, Chu Yu stood up, pulled out a chair, and turned to walk towards the door.
Chu Yu knew what Chu Chen was going to say.
But sometimes, simply clarifying that it's just a misunderstanding won't bring everything back to normal.
The experiences of being apart for several years have gradually made the two, who were once a perfect match, strangers to each other.
Just like how Chu Yu doesn't know what happened to Gu Jinhuai.
Gu Jinhuai, too, was unaware of Chu Yu's inner thoughts.
Gu Jinhuai turned around and watched Chu Yu's figure gradually disappear into the distance.
He could understand Chu Yu, but he didn't want the two of them to truly become strangers and never cross paths again.
