4491: The Other Side 460

The Other Side 460

When the man snapped back into the present again, he realized the boy had left the beach.1

In the blink of an eye, it was already dusk. The sun was setting.

Lying on the spot where the boy had been lying, the boy's words echoed back and forth in Hua Jin's mind.

Isn't it sad that a person doesn't even have the courage to face his feelings?

Did he really have feelings for Gong Jie? Was it fear or admiration?

The actor admitted that he did admire the man. But was admiration love? He really had no idea.

…

Yun Shishi was unaware of what had been happening to Hua Jin, and Gong Jie did not tell her because he did not want her to worry. It was only after the incident, that Gong Jie called her and told her about it.

When Yun Shishi heard the account, she was scared out of her wits. "Is Hua Jin alright?"

Gong Jie was speechless when he heard that. "Sis, how is it that you worry about him first instead of me?"

"Aren't you fine?"

"I'm injured," said the man aggrievedly.

"Injured? Is it serious?" She suddenly sounded nervous. "Don't scare me. How did you get yourself injured?"

"Indeed, a crying child is given candies, this saying is not without basis. I'm made of flesh and blood too, I'm not not made of steel. If Hua Jin can get injured, why can't I?"

Yun Shishi instantly felt guilty. "I'm sorry… In my heart, you've always been indestructible. I never thought that you would get hurt. Are the injuries serious?"

"It's fine. It's just a small injury. I was only joking because I was indignant!"

The woman heaved a sigh of relief. "You're scaring me again!"

"It's my fault, Sister."

"Actually, I was in the wrong too. I shouldn't neglect you just because you're Gong Jie." She smiled. "I've missed you, Xiao Jie."

The man was at once elated to hear those words. However, he had always been reserved and would not show it even if he was overjoyed.

"I miss you too, Sister."

"I'll visit Hurricane Island when I have some time."

"That's okay. Father and I will visit you."

"Alright."

Ever since she felt reconciled with Gong Shaoying, Yun Shishi would often call him on the phone. She did not hold any grudges against her father. It was just that he had hurt her mother and her son, Youyou. However, the old man's attitude toward this matter was very sincere, so she felt relieved. The father-daughter reunion could be considered as fulfillment of one of her wishes.

Sometimes, Yun Shishi felt exceedingly blessed. She had a husband who doted on her like she was his daughter, two sons who protected her like she was a princess, and a younger brother placed her at the center of everything he did. Now, she had a father who loved her. She was even more doted on than Yueyao!

"Sis, I have something to announce." The man suddenly spoke over the phone.

Yun Shishi snapped out of her reverie. "Yes, go ahead."

"I like Hua Jin." Gong Jie raised an eyebrow and smiled. "I want to be with him."

Yun Shishi was slightly stunned, but she did not look too shocked. Instead, she probed, "You're not joking again, are you?"

"I'm serious."

"Oooh…" The woman was silent for a moment. It had happened too suddenly, but before this, there had been clues. She could tell that the man's attitude towards Hua Jin was very special. However, she had not thought along this line.
