Chapter 811: Miss Gu, I Like You

Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Jin walked along the lake, her gaze fixed on the dimly lit path ahead. She asked casually, “Do you enjoy being a teacher?”

Xiao Yize responded seriously, “I greatly enjoy being with Miss Gu.”

Gu Jin paused briefly.

She looked up at the scattered stars and spoke calmly, “Xiao Yize, do you believe in fate?”

Xiao Yize was momentarily taken aback. He didn’t quite grasp Gu Jin’s intent at first, replying, “I’m a staunch materialist and have always adhered to Marxist beliefs.”

Gu Jin fell silent for a moment. She gazed at the tranquil night sky, which seemed even calmer than the lake. “Look at those suns, moons, and stars. They all follow their own distinct paths. What if I told you that you would come to like me? Would that be the case?”

Xiao Yize’s expression darkened.

He had always been patient with Gu Jin, waiting for her to mature, waiting for her to gradually awaken to his feelings.

It was akin to simmering cold water.

But now, it seemed that Gu Jin was getting ahead of herself.

Xiao Yize replied, “Miss Gu, planets orbit the sun due to the gravitational pull of the sun.”

Gu Jin nodded knowingly.

Xiao Yize continued, “If my path crossing with yours follows a specific trajectory, then you are the gravitational force, the sun I am destined to orbit.”

Gu Jin was slightly taken aback. She looked at the refined and handsome man before her and asked, “Don’t you think this feels like fate’s manipulation? An invisible constraint?”

She couldn’t imagine a proud powerhouse like herself being willingly manipulated by a predetermined plot.

At least she knew Xiao Yize was rebellious in their official relationship.

Xiao Yize believed that if his love with Miss Gu was destined, it would only bring him greater happiness.

What did this mean? It meant they were destined to be together!

Xiao Yize paused and looked at her earnestly. “If it were you, I would gladly embrace it.”

Gu Jin felt her heart quicken.

Yet, there were moments when she questioned whether these were her true feelings or merely part of the scripted plot.

Honestly, she disliked scenarios devoid of Yangyang’s scripting.

It was as if she was born to challenge everyone around her. Even her official role was a tool to facilitate their downfall.

All to ensure the plot’s complete enjoyment.

Just like the original trajectory, the Gu family met their downfall. Gu Zhaoming, Ruan Xueling, Gu Pei, and their friends from the No.1 Middle School Group did not find a favorable ending.

But in reality, not everything needed to be so harsh, right?

Perhaps now was a good time.

“Miss Gu, these notions of manipulation and restraint are all based on the assumption that you don’t have affection for me.”

“If you also have feelings for me, why not follow this specific path?” Xiao Yize looked at her calmly.

Gu Jin’s usually composed eyes seemed uncertain.

Xiao Yize stepped closer, taking her hand and placing it gently over her heart. He gazed into her eyes with intensity. “Miss Gu, I’m a living person. My heart beats for you, not for some mere script.”

He sensed that Gu Jin harbored feelings for him as well, despite her reservations.

In the silence of the night, their heartbeats intertwined.

“Miss Gu, I like you.”

Xiao Yize held her gaze, his sincerity evident in his eyes. “I want to officially court you and eventually marry you. Will you be my girlfriend?”

Gu Jin’s thoughts were in turmoil. After a moment of contemplation, she nodded slightly.
