If Jiang Jiayi had always been so gentle, how wonderful would it be? While thinking like this, Gu Linxi also felt that she was being too whimsical. [What the hell? Is she dreaming?] Why did she feel that the person in front of her was like this from the very beginning? Gu Linxi's face revealed a puzzled expression. Just what kind of past did she and Jiang Jiayi have?

For some unknown reason, a scene similar to an illusion appeared in front of him. It was as if he was sitting on a bench with a boy whose face couldn't be clearly seen. The boy, whose appearance could not be seen clearly, gently held her hand and carefully wiped the scratches of a cat on the back of her hand with hydrogen peroxide. At this moment, Gu Linxi couldn't tell what that person had said. She only felt that that person had the gentlest side in the world.

She could feel that her heart was filled with joy as she sat next to the man's voice. Even the slight pain in her hand was unable to cover up her smile. She seemed very happy because of the word love. Gu Linxi's face couldn't help but be infected by the joy on it. The corners of her mouth slightly lifted up. Why did it feel like she had just met her first love?

The stinging pain in his hand pulled her back from that dream-like state to reality. Gu Lingxi had also withdrawn his smile, frowning as he looked at his current hand. Why did she think that the person before her would have a gentle side? He was clearly a fiendish devil. Even though he was gentle, it was nothing more than a hypocritical gentleness.

If he really wanted to talk about gentleness, only then would Xie Siqian take it seriously. When he thought of Xie Siqian, Gu Linxi couldn't help but pull her hand away from Jiang Jiayi's. It wasn't appropriate for her to be alone with Jiang Jiayi. If Xie Siqian found out about this, he would probably get angry. Gu Lin Xi didn't want to anger Xie Si Er. If possible, she hoped that she would bring happiness and not sadness to Xie Si Er.

"I'm fine." Even though she had used too much strength, causing him to feel some pain in her left hand, Gu Linxi still furrowed her brows slightly. Raising her head to look at Jiang Jiayi, Gu Linxi continued speaking, "If you have nothing else to say, can I ask you to leave this place?"

Jiang Jiayi had never expected to hear of this order. His eyes revealed a hint of danger. Just now, his gentleness was like a fleeting flower, and now, this kind of Jiang Jiayi was the real deal. However, even though Jiang Jiayi's current appearance made Gu Linxi feel somewhat uncomfortable, Gu Linxi also didn't want to give in. It was indeed inappropriate for her to continue staying here with Jiang Jiayi.

Moreover, it was time for her to go back to Xie Siniang's place. Otherwise, he would probably be worried when Xie Si Er returned home and didn't see him.

It was rare for such a scene to occur today. Jiang Jiayi had never thought that such a scene would occur between him and Gu Linxi. No, perhaps he had imagined such a scene. Back then, when he was still alive in this world, he had been constantly thinking about what he would do if he were to uncover all of the truth. Would it be painful to the point of wanting to die, or would it just simply not be able to stand up? Regardless of whether it was any of the two, both were things that Jiang Jiayi wished to see.

Originally, the reason why they were close to Gu Linxi was for the sake of harming him. However, the situation had changed. Gu Chenzhou, the person he wanted to take revenge on the most, had already left to apologize to his sister. He was no longer obsessed with those things. If one were to say what he was determined to accomplish, then it would be Gu Xiangxi alone. He wanted to spend the rest of his life with Gu Xiangxi.

But now, it seemed like he and Gu Linxi wouldn't be able to return to that time. Gu Linxi had already forgotten about him, and had even wanted him to leave. Jiang Jiayi felt unspeakably sad in his heart. He was not an unintentional person. If he didn't have the slightest bit of affection for Gu Lingxi, why would he be so angry and jealous when he saw them together?

Many thoughts flashed through Jiang Jiayi's mind. He had no time to grasp onto these thoughts as all he could think about was to stay.

These were just wishful thinking on his part. Whether Jiang Jiayi's feelings for Gu Linxi were love or not was not something that Jiang Jiayi could consider. Gu Lingxi had accompanied Jiang Jiayi for such a long period of time. Furthermore, he was the one who had brought Jiang Jiayi back from death. Jiang Jiayi's feelings towards him were no longer purely a matter of love.

However, when had Jiang Jiayi ever had pure love for Gu Linxi? Jiang Jiayi had never seen it before, so he couldn't see it for himself.

It was as if he had fallen into a cave of ice. From beginning to end, he felt cold, including even his heart. Jiang Jiayi had a feeling that he might really lose Gu Linxi. He had always felt that the bond between him and Gu Linxi had become increasingly weak. This feeling of losing Gu Linxi made Jiang Jiayi feel fear from the bottom of his heart. He'd never felt that kind of feeling before. Even when he'd known that Gu Linxi and Xie Sitian were together, he didn't feel that fear of losing them.

But now, facing such a calm Gu Lin Xi, Jiang Jiayi felt as if he was desperately holding onto the sand in his hands, but the sand was flowing away bit by bit. Perhaps, it was just an illusion. It was obvious that Gu Linxi still had some feelings for him. As long as he worked hard, why wouldn't he be able to redeem himself?

Gu Linxi frowned. She noticed that Jiang Jiayi's hands and feet were trembling, while his face was terrifyingly pale. Was his words too harsh? It wasn't necessary, it was just an ordinary sending out of the way. When he saw the soulless expression on Jiang Jiayi's face, Gu Linxi felt strangely carefree in her heart, as if the scene she had been waiting for for for a long time had finally appeared.

Never in her wildest dreams would she have thought that she was actually this sort of person. Gu Linxi felt as if she had experienced a whole new world. For the first time, she suspected that she might have been a good person before she lost her memories. Otherwise, how could such a thought appear in her mind so coincidentally?

Lowering her head to look at her toes, Gu Linxi tossed aside the strange feeling of relaxation in her heart. She shouldn't have been thinking like this. After all, she was the one who had forgotten Jiang Jiayi. It was also her fault. Now, she was still overjoyed over the other party's despondent appearance. This really shouldn't have happened.

However, even if she did try her best to put her mind on the path of a good person, she felt helpless. She just couldn't bear to see Jiang Jiayi like this. How could he not be happy when it was as if his enemy had finally received his retribution? This may not be an appropriate description, but it should be close enough.

If Gu Linxi's memories hadn't been lost, she would have realized that her current thoughts were very normal. After all, it had always been her who had lost her spirit for Jiang Jiayi. Now that it was finally Jiang Jiayi's turn, it was time to put out the firecrackers to celebrate.

Would Jiang Jiayi leave so easily? Clearly, it was not very likely. It was a rare opportunity to get along with Gu Linxi. Jiang Jiayi didn't want to waste it like this. Besides, the picture wasn't clear yet. Jiang Jiayi's attention finally returned to the main topic of business. He remembered it very clearly, but he didn't think that he remembered it wrongly.
