Chapter 52: Keep A Lookout
Song Ran felt a ping in her chest while her eyes drifted around. She thought to herself, what did Gu Jinghang mean by saying that?
After a while, she probed, “Huh? But she’s my best friend. Why should I be wary of her?”
Did Wen Huihui run into him again and say something to him?
Things like Song Ran will never like him because he’s a poor country bumpkin?
This matter was apparently over, and Gu Jinghang did not mind her saying that.
In addition to this, the latest event to occur was Shen Mengfang introducing the playboy, Yao Xifeng, to her. But she had not mentioned this to Wen Huihui, so how did she find out?
It was hard for Gu Jinghang to bring the matter up to Song Ran. He was not used to gossiping behind someone’s back, especially when Wen Huihui was the best friend of a girl he liked. That was not his character. But he was worried that Ran would be backstabbed by Wen Huihui, so he could only put it in an ambiguous way. “Ran, do you trust me?”
Song Ran was taking in rapid breaths. His question sounded formal. So she had to answer him with seriousness. “Yes. I trust you, Jinghang. Apart from my elder sister, you’re the next person whom I trust the most in this world.”
“Then I’ll just tell you this. Just bear it in mind. Wen Huihui… She… she keeps things to herself. You… Just don’t tell her everything. Do you understand?”
Song Ran found it hard to speak. Gu Jinghang was thinking for her wholeheartedly, for fear she would suffer. She nodded. “Okay, Jinghang. I’ll listen to you.”
Gu Jinghang’s mind felt at ease. Luckily, Ran did not ask him to explain or make things more difficult for him. Just when Song Ran was about to hang up the phone…
“Wait, Ran…”
“Huh? What is it?”
Gu Jinghang sounded hesitant. “Ran, I just want to know… Why did you suddenly… treat me so well?”
This was like a time bomb for him. Gu Jinghang decided that if he could not figure out the real reason, it would always be worrying him in the back of his mind that Song Ran would turn from a warm-hearted and gentle girl to the previous unkind girl again.
He was extremely distressed.
Song Ran felt her heart ache. She must have been such a wicked girl before that this had made Gu Jinghang insecure. As his lover, wasn’t it a given to treat him well?
He probably treasured her little acts of kindness like some kind of precious item and repeatedly thought about them.
She sighed. Gu Jinghang on the other line was getting nervous. If he knew this would happen, he would never have asked the question. If Song Ran returned to her usual self, it would be too late to regret.
Song Ran rested her chin on her knees, listening to his short and rapid breaths, feeling his anxiety and consternation. Finally, her voice flowed like a river. “If I said, I met a highly skilled monk who enlightened me, will you believe it?”
The monk she was referring to concerned her life experiences, which had given her guidance and made her understand that the most precious thing in the world to her was Gu Jinghang’s true love. She had grown to understand that the precious love she missed would become a lifetime of regret.
Gu Jinghang’s anxiety finally loosened up a bit. He asked with a little uncertainty, “Ran, can you… can you stay this way forever? I like you this way.”
Her heart ached for him. His question sounded cautious, and his tone was trembling. But he had always been like this. He went out of his way to please her, regarded her as his priority, and always took care to put her feelings and needs first. In the past, he was always doing so. But she…
How many times did he suffer in silence?
