4075: The Other Side 44

The Other Side 44

It had to be about the boy, but since Gong Jie hadn't mentioned it to her, it probably wasn't optimistic.1

Yun Shishi decided not to ask. Even though she couldn't stop worrying about Youyou and Gong Fan, it was useless to worry blindly. She might as well let nature take its course and cherish her time with Youyou and Gong Fan.

"Xiao Jie, stop overthinking. Have a steak."

Gong Jie snapped back to the present and grunted in agreement.

"Who cooked this steak?"

"I did."

"Eh?" The man looked as if he'd discovered a new continent. "You know how to cook steak?"

"And why not?" Yun Shishi rolled her eyes. "I have to learn to cook sometime!"

"Oh, Youyou… I think he's been missing for two days." Gong Jie asked again, "Where's Gong Fan?"

She answered, "Just eaten. He's in the study."

"Oh!"

Gong Jie suddenly remembered Alice's words. "Actually, the direction I've been thinking about is coexistence. You know, if Gong Fan had left Youyou's body, he would have taken all those dark memories with him. But the uneasiness and guilt will stay with Youyou forever. He'll always feel that he owes Gong Fan something. His disappearance would have broken Youyou completely."

Was that really that way?

The man felt strangely annoyed.

…

In the study room.

Gong Fan lay slumped over the desk and slept for a short time. When he opened his eyes again, they were bright and clear.

Youyou raised his head and looked around. He was about to get up when he suddenly noticed a blue notepad beside him. Strange. He raised his eyebrows and looked around again. Seeing that he was alone in the study, as though deep in thought, he flipped open the notepad.

He woke up not knowing where he was or what he should do. His memories seemed to have stopped at a time around two days ago. He knew nothing about what had happened to Gong Fan in the past two days. It was precisely because of this predicament that he felt helpless. He opened the notebook and saw it was filled with handwriting that was completely different from his own, but he recognized it at a glance.

It was written in red. Clear, dazzling.

"In the future, we'll contact each other this way."

The boy scanned it, his pink lips curving in a knowing smile. The page looked like a page from a diary, however it was more detailed than one.

1st February: Nighttime, lying in bed, I suddenly felt very uneasy. I felt that I must be a burden. I told Mummy about my unease. She gave me a kiss and said that I was an inseparable part of her. I was… very happy.

Despite the seemingly cold words, the boy could sense Gong Fan's suppressed joy through the handwriting.

2nd February: Today, Qinger seems warmer towards me than usual. Is it because of your appearance? However, I'm not good with girls. She probably thinks I'm a little lonely and lost.

In the afternoon, Li Sicheng read her love letter to you, to the other students. It made her cry. How troublesome.

I don't deal with this kind of thing. In the future, don't get me into this kind of trouble.

The wolfberry tea Gong Jie bought was too sweet. It tasted awful.

Little Yichen said something bad about me because he thought you were back. Idiot.

I'm inexplicably anxious. I feel sleepy and want to sleep, but I'm afraid that if I fall asleep, it won't be me who wakes up. But it doesn't matter. At least there's a place for me.

Do you like Coke and milk tea very much? It's troublesome. It's not good to eat too many sweet things.
