Cen Xiuzhi and Chen Yihan walked out of the library, one after the other. If one were to observe closely, they would notice that Cen Xiuzhi's steps were still somewhat unsteady, hesitating slightly as he walked, giving the impression of having difficulty in his legs.
In front of the library, there are tall trees planted on both sides of the road. The lush green forest blocks out most of the summer sunlight, only casting sporadic beams of light. As Cen Xiuzhi's footsteps land on the fallen leaves, he looks up and suddenly pauses.
Chen Yihan paused for a moment, while Cen Xiuzhi's breath tightened. He immediately took quick steps forward, catching up with the tall figure in front. Anxiously, he raised his hand but hesitated in mid-air for half a second before finally landing it on the person's shoulder.
The man's footsteps paused for a moment before he turned around.
The two gazes intertwined, in that instant, the memories tightly sealed in the passage of time surged forward like a rushing tide. Countless fragments of memories woven together, flowed past beside him, creating a deep reflection in Cen Xiuzhi's eyes.
In front of her, the man's appearance had undergone a drastic change compared to the boy from four years ago. Cen Xiu Zhi could only discern a faint trace of the lingering aura of Gu Jin in his facial features.
"Who is it?"
His deep, mute black eyes focused directly on Cen Xiuzhi, filled with indifference and aloofness, as if assessing a stranger.
Cen Xiuzhi retracted his hand, but remained silent.
"Do you know me?"
Gu Jin spoke again, his mature and handsome face seemingly covered in a layer of strong, cold frost.
"Gu Jin, who is it? Do you know this person?" The voice that came from behind Gu Jin made Cen Xiuzhi's whole body stiffen, his eyes widening in disbelief.
A young and beautiful face peered out from behind Gu Jin, curiously looking at Cen Xiuzhi. After observing him carefully for two seconds, she suddenly realized, "Isn't this the person from the Chu Corporation?"
I can still remember the name of Chu Fan Yi. Of course, it was only when Su Che, who used the system to bring down the Chu family company and indirectly caused the deaths of Mr. and Mrs. Chu, was behind him.
Cen Xiuzhi clenched his fist tightly, not knowing how much self-control it took to resist punching these two people in the face. He could only force a smile and say, "Mr. Su, Young Master Gu, long time no see."
"Gu Jin, don't you recognize him?" Su Che turned his head, looking at Gu Jin discontentedly. "Wasn't he your ex-fiancé? It's been less than five years, and you've already forgotten about him. How is your memory so poor?"
Gu Jin's memory could not be so poor, the only explanation could be that Chu Fan Yi was not an important person to him, so he could quickly forget about it. Zhi knew this point, and could also hear the mocking tone in Su Che's voice, so he just coldly stared at him.
Su Che said so, and the corner of Gu Jin's eyebrow flickered slightly as he asked, "Chu Fan one?"
Chen Yihan noticed the tense atmosphere and went forward to discreetly pull Cen Xiuzhi towards the back. He leaned over to Gu Jin and said in a low voice, "Mr. Gu, I didn't expect you to return to the country so early."
"I remember saying last week that I would return to the country today," Gu Jin's eyes were sharp, "because Su Che said he wanted to come and take a look at the school, otherwise we would have met at the company."
Chen Yihan unconsciously pursed her lips.
Gu Jinchao looked towards Cen Xiuzhi and his gaze fell on his right leg encased in long pants. He paused for a moment and asked, "Chu Shao, do you have a leg injury?" When Chen Yihan yanked him just now, it was only a blink of an eye movement. He didn't expect Gu Jinchao to have caught the details of Cen Xiuzhi's foot movement.
After Chu's father and mother jumped off the building that year, there was only one person among the onlookers who dared to come forward and help. It was Cen Xiuzhi who courageously carried Chu's father on his back and together with that person, they sent them to the hospital. On the way, Cen Xiuzhi was hit by a protruding brick and severely twisted his ankle. As a result, he was delayed in receiving treatment and now suffers from the inconvenience of walking.
But if you don't look closely, you still can't tell, so Chen Yihan also hesitated for a moment and instinctively said, "Um... there were some accidents back then..." Before Chen Yihan could finish speaking, Cen Xiuzhi proactively interrupted him, saying, "Chen Yihan, can you take me back first? It's already very late."
After finishing speaking, he grabbed Chen Yihan and turned to leave. Chen Yihan was pulled back several steps by him, unable to spare a moment to speak with Gu Jin. She could only nod from a distance, treating it as a farewell.
"Gu Jin, let's go too," Su Che gently tugged on Gu Jin's sleeve.
Gu Jin retracted his gaze and walked with Su Che towards the end of the tree-lined path.
There isn't anything to translate as you provided a period ("."). If you have a specific Chinese novel paragraph you would like me to translate, please provide the text.
Until they reached the front gate of the villa, Cen Xiuzhi remained silent, not uttering a single word.
Chen Yihan opened the back door, picked up the coat inside, and walked behind Cen Xiuzhi. She helped him put it on his shoulders and said, "It's going to get cooler tomorrow, don't catch a cold."
"Don't pretend." Cen Xiu Zhi said coldly.
Chen Yihan froze for a moment, and even her eyebrows twitched unnaturally. By the time she realized it, the words had already slipped out of her mouth: "Isn't it just running into Gu Jin? Judging by your reaction, do you still want to rekindle your past relationship with him?"
With a loud "smack!", Cen Xiuzhi fiercely slapped him across the face.
Chen Yihan's face turned to the side as she was hit, her pupils slightly shrinking. With a swift motion, she turned her head and suddenly grabbed onto Cen Xiuzhi's wrist, which was still suspended in mid-air. Her eyes were wide open, staring at him intently, giving off a somewhat frightening appearance.
Cen Xiuzhi stared back at him without a hint of timidity. After a moment, he slightly parted his lips and said, "Chen Yihan, it's none of your business to interfere in mine and Gu Jin's affairs."
Chen Yihan's cheek muscles involuntarily twitched, showing that he was trying hard to suppress his emotions. After a moment, he let go of Cen Xiuzhi's hand and took a step back, just staring at him without saying a word.
Cen Xiuzhi pressed his slightly painful wrist and turned around to enter the room.
Chu Tao'er and Chu Sheng still hadn't returned home. The villa was extremely quiet, with the spacious hall suffused in silence and darkness. Cen Xiuzhi gradually felt a tightness in his chest, forcing him to place his hand on his chest and slowly crouch down.
An excellent temporal and spatial order maintenance officer is able to seamlessly integrate themselves with the virtual world's characters in the shortest amount of time, and after completing their mission, they can quickly disengage from the plot without dragging their feet. Cen Xiuzhi stood out from the crowd of order maintenance officers with his high efficiency in completing tasks and outstanding system evaluation scores, ascending to the position of the strongest station master in the A district of the temporal and spatial domain. However, no one knew just how painful each emotional transition was for him.
In this relationship with Gu Jin, he was the first to make sacrifices and the one who gave the most. To Chu Fan, who stood there, Gu Jin was everything to him. However, he never realized that despite being wholeheartedly devoted to Gu Jin, Chu Fan was never included in Gu Jin's plans.
What's even more ridiculous is that until now, deep down in his subconscious, he has even given Gu Jin a chance, hoping that he would come to him soon and explain the inexplicable reason for leaving four years ago, giving him a reason to forgive Gu Jin.
