Chapter 829: What Did I Do Wrong? (1)
So, that was how their relationship began...
Assistant Lin and Xu Shuai did tell him he got together after he regained his consciousness from the accident. But they too had no idea how he got together with Xu Weilai, since he was a reserved person and would never tell them about his love life.
He himself had never expected that the day would come when he would make the first move to hold a girl’s hand.
He trusted no one else other than his grandfather after the death of his parents, followed by the turmoil and the power struggle in the Gu Corporation with his relatives. He became distant and a loner, pushing everyone away. He heavily guarded his heart from everyone, including Xu Weilai, the fiancée his grandfather forced on him.
And he hated Xu Weilai because he wanted to keep her out of his world, and that had nothing to do with her as a person.
Then why would he hold her hand?
That would mean that he accepted Xu Weilai and opened the door into his world for her.
Gu Yu’s fingertips lingered on the line of words “Gu Yu, do you know you need to be responsible when you hold a girl’s hand?”
He unconsciously nodded his head. Yes, he had to be responsible.
The mood of the diary content turned bright and cheerful after the entry on 20th May, as if the brightness could expel all the prior darkness written in the diary.
He could tell that they got closer at each passing day based on the entries written in the diary. She, too, had slowly opened up to him, and was no longer as reserved and timid. Xu Weilai’s timidity and restraint gradually lessened. Later entries in the diaries showed he pampered her like a child, and his love turned her into how a normal would be when they were loved. She was depressed over one matter though, and it became a question she asked herself every single day. Why had he not confessed his love to her yet?
That question repeated itself in every diary entry for the next three months.
That question stopped being part of her diary entries after the first snow of the winter in that year. She wrote: I confessed to Gu Yu today. Since he’s not making any move, I’ll make the first move. The snow today was so beautiful, and I finally told him what I’ve always wanted to tell him. I told him ” Gu Yu, I like you a lot...” He kissed me. That was my first kiss, that was his too. I will always remember today.
The kiss brought them even closer, and eventually, the intimacy between them grew.
Gu Yu continued flipping through the pages with his fingers. Even though only a few brief sentences were written day-to-day in the diary, Gu Yu could feel her joy and her happiness from being in love with her written words.
He tagged along when she went after breaking news as a journalist. He even cleaned up her mess from time to time. In order to do that more efficiently, he took time to study law and even passed his BAR exam.
When he brought Xu Weilai to meet his friends, they teased him as the perfect boyfriend, which he happily accepted. He even had to carry her home when she got herself drunk. He wanted to nag her about it, but immediately backed down when she acted coquettishly with him.
Images formed in his head as he read on.
After some time, he started working in the Gu Corporation as a preparation to succeed Grandpa Gu as the CEO of the company. He got busy and the amount he spent with Xu Weilai decrease. Xu Weilai would occasionally complain in her diary. But the complaint would then be followed with words on self-consolations and that she should be a considerate fiancée.
As he read on, he could tell that depressing mood hovered over Xu Weilai’s diary entries.
She wrote: I haven’t seen Gu Yu for almost two weeks. We finally had dinner together today. It was fine at first. Then he started asking me some questions, but seemed upset with my answer. But I don’t remember saying anything wrong... Am I thinking too much?
