Since their chance meeting in front of the KTV last time, he hadn’t seen her again.

Or rather, it had become very difficult for him to see her casually.

She had left his world, and his longing for her grew deeper day by day, impossible now to extricate her from his heart.

He fell in love with her, at the time he lost her.

Gu Zhichuan sat down at the reading table, watching her from a distance.

After Lin Gantang added water and food to the segregated cat, she stood up, turned around, and saw Gu Zhichuan.

Their gazes collided; Lin Gantang shifted away indifferently.

A guest called for her, and Lin Gantang went to attend them, working until she was ready to go downstairs, when Gu Zhichuan couldn’t help but call out, “Gantang.”

Lin Gantang turned around, her eyes calm and untroubled as they met his.

Gu Zhichuan suddenly didn’t know what to say.

Finding it tedious, Lin Gantang prepared to leave but heard from behind, “Gantang.”

Lin Gantang turned around impatiently, “If you have something to say, say it. Don’t just call my name.”

“I heard you’re going to have a wedding,” Gu Zhichuan said with difficulty.

“Yep, what, are you calling me to give me your blessings? If so, I’d gladly stop and listen to you,” Lin Gantang said with her arms folded, waiting.

Gu Zhichuan opened his mouth, finding it really hard.

Lin Gantang didn’t have the time to waste on him, and she stepped toward the stairs.

Having taken only a few steps, she heard a hoarse voice behind her, “Congratulations.”

Lin Gantang was very surprised.

“Congratulations,” Gu Zhichuan said, enduring the tugging pain in his heart, “Congratulations on finding the destination of marriage, even though it’s not with me, I hope you’re happy.”

Lin Gantang appraised him, feeling he had changed.

The old Gu Zhichuan never would have said something like that.

But this was better than his boundless entanglement, wasn’t it?

“Thank you,” Lin Gantang said, smiling politely and courteously at him.

And Gu Zhichuan felt extremely bitter inside, because only by staying away and letting go could he earn her favorable expression.

Since the day Lin Gantang registered her marriage without minding Wen Yanqing’s disability, Gu Zhichuan realized deeply and clearly that he truly had no more chances.

The involuntary desire to be close, it was just his one-sided yearning acting up.

It meant nothing at all.

Gu Zhichuan sat from the afternoon until evening, emptying himself in the quiet bookstore.

But he had to leave eventually.

He walked down from the second floor and at a glance saw Wen Yanqing beside Lin Gantang.

“Shall we continue swimming tonight? Aren’t you afraid of becoming rusty after a few days without practice?” Wen Yanqing discussed with her.

“But I haven’t finished my work yet,” Lin Gantang was somewhat tempted but reluctant to drop her work.

Wen Yanqing persuaded her, “Your employees are very skilled, don’t worry. Besides, money can’t be earned out, but learning to swim to protect yourself is important, isn’t it?”

The latter point struck a chord with Lin Gantang, and she nodded without hesitation.

Wen Yanqing wrapped his arm around Lin Gantang, ready to leave when he noticed Gu Zhichuan.

Thinking of Wen Yanqing’s previous provocations, Gu Zhichuan’s expression turned stern once more.

However, this time Wen Yanqing greeted him very peacefully, “Mr. Gu.”

Wen Yanqing stood confidently and composedly beside Lin Gantang, without any mockery, and the hidden unease he had seen before was gone.

Because of understanding and love, the uneasiness and inferiority Wen Yanqing once felt had gradually dissipated, so upon seeing him, there was no more high alert or the explosive temperament that tried to defend his territory.

Wen Yanqing’s calm composure came from his absence of unease, a result of the two cementing their trust in each other’s feelings.

And he, Gu Zhichuan, would henceforth be merely an unimportant supporting character.
