Chapter 287 Expected Results
Gu Youxuan's emotions were a little complicated for a moment.

Although the boy in front of her was her classmate for six years, he was just an ordinary classmate.

If the other party had not followed her this time, she and him would probably not have had any contact except for the class reunion.

The relationship between them can only be defined as former classmates.

She knew that she was good-looking. She did not think too highly of herself, but she did not underestimate herself either. However, in her opinion, a momentary crush was just a short-lived infatuation with appearance. After graduation and separation, this vague relationship would come to an end.

However, this person has been persistent until now.

It's not that she was not touched, so even though she was being followed and even though she was very angry at first, she still didn't call the police.

However, we can no longer let this go on.

"I'm sorry, I don't like you."

Gu Youxuan concealed the complicated emotions in her eyes and seriously rejected Li Liang's confession.

……

When he heard the three words "I'm sorry", no, it should be said that when Gu Youxuan said the first word, Li Liang knew the result.

Sure enough, "I don't like you."

It seemed that all the colors had faded from Li Liang's eyes and body, and his world was pale.

He stood there in a daze, his whole body stiff and unable to move.

He didn't know how to react or what to say?
His mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out.

It is not an unexpected answer; it can even be said to be a completely expected answer.

He knew it all along.

So, no matter how much he longed in his heart, he always suppressed himself and did not confess, and he did not dare to confess.

Always living in self-deception.

How pitiful and sad.

Nowadays, even such falsehood has disappeared?

The corners of my eyes felt hot and tears began to fall.

Li Liang lowered his head even lower.

The fingers holding the sachet turned bluish-white, and veins crisscrossed the back of his hands.

He didn't understand. It was just his secret love, and he knew it was hopeless. Now the expected result was actually placed in front of him. Why was he so sad?
Aren't you ready to accept rejection?
But, is it really over?

The secret crush that lasted throughout my adolescence did not end in vain as I expected.

He finally plucked up the courage, stood in front of the person he loved, and said what he had buried deep in his heart for years. In this way... it can be considered as putting an end to his secret love, even if it is not perfect, it is not so regrettable, right?
At least, he told the girl he loved about his love.

At least, this feeling is not just his one-man show, right?

……

Looking at the boy opposite her who was lowering his head, the heaviness and sadness made Gu Youxuan's eyes a little bitter.

She pursed her lips, but said nothing in the end.

What could she say?

She was unable to accept his feelings, nor could she reciprocate them.

In this situation, no matter what she said at this moment, even if it was out of kindness and consolation, it might irritate the person on the other side.

She didn't know how to express it so as not to seem indifferent or self-righteously sympathetic or compassionate.

So, she would rather keep her mouth shut.

His eyes were as gentle and clear as they were at the beginning.

……

Li Liang finally noticed the unusual silence at this moment. He could feel Gu Youxuan's gaze on him. There was no meaning of shame or embarrassment in her gaze, but a kind of... gentleness that was rare in her.

He couldn't help but move his extremely stiff fingers, and the touch of the silky fabric at his fingertips made him subconsciously look over.

A bright red pierced his eyes. It was a bit painful, but it made him sober up a lot.

He blinked his eyes, and the thin mist in front of his eyes was gone. The things in front of him gradually became clear.

This sachet... Li Liang gently rubbed it with his fingertips, and seemed to have some courage to face it. He wanted to say something, and he knew that Gu Youxuan was waiting for him to speak.

He didn't want to appear too embarrassed. This confession was six years late, and even if it failed, he wanted to perform as well as possible.

But when he opened his mouth, he found that his throat seemed to be stuck and he couldn't make any sound for a while.

The dry throat seems to have a slight burning sensation.

It seemed as if all the moisture was draining out through the corners of his eyes.

He swallowed hard, and the suffocating feeling of difficulty in swallowing made him frown uncomfortably.

After a lot of effort, he finally made a sound, which was hoarse, dry, and rough, almost to the level of a whisper.

"Hug, sorry."

Gu Youxuan heard it clearly.

"Why apologize?"

Gu Youxuan's question made Li Liang flustered and confused. Why apologize? He didn't know, but he just said it subconsciously.

He didn't know what he could say except to apologize.

But what was he apologizing for?

Apology. Did he finally muster up the courage to confess his feelings to Gu Youxuan?

Apologize, this lazy toad actually had the wishful thinking of eating a white swan?
Or should he apologize for wasting Gu Youxuan's time with his confession?
he does not know.

"I……"

Li Liang stammered, looking confused, but couldn't say anything.

Gu Youxuan sighed silently.

She has always been straightforward and direct, so facing such a complicated situation really makes her feel helpless.

"Li Liang."

"We have been classmates for six years. You know my personality."

"Since you like me, why don't you be bolder and more straightforward?"

"There's nothing wrong with you liking me."

"What are you not confident about?"

"I rejected you just because I don't like you. It's not because you are not good, it's just because I don't like you."

"What I like, no matter how bad it is, is good in my eyes. What I don't like, no matter how good it is, has nothing to do with me in my eyes."

"do you understand?"

Li Liang listened silently. After the initial discomfort, his rationality gradually returned.

In fact, after experiencing such real pain, he also felt an indescribable sense of relief spreading from his heart.

It has been six years, and he does not regret his six-year love. It's just that he later got stuck in a dead end and trapped himself.

"Thank you."

Li Liang slowly raised his head and looked into Gu Youxuan's eyes without avoiding. His figure was there.

Even though there was no doubt about it, he still curled the corners of his mouth.

"sorry."

Gu Youxuan's smile froze because of this apology. Li Liang's smile deepened a little, "It's because of the tracking during this period of time."

"I'm very sorry."

He was trapped in a demonic barrier and actually did such an outrageous thing.

His rare boldness was used in the wrong place.

Thinking about it now, he was also a bit incredible.

Fortunately, this time he used his boldness in the right place.
