Chapter 336: Chapter 335: Gradually Reviving Memory (5)
In her imagination, after Gu Ningyi’s eyes recover and he opens them to see her, knowing that she has been quietly by his side, carefully taking care of him just like before, he would surely rekindle his feelings for her, and they could reignite the flames of love and make up as if nothing had happened.
But unexpectedly, when his eyes recovered, his first look at her wasn’t of surprise or joy, but rather... he asked her such a question.
Zhou Yalin’s hand slowly clenched, her heart filled with resentment, but at the moment, it wasn’t a time when she could willfully throw a tantrum.
Why would Gu Ningyi suddenly ask such a question? Could he be suspecting something about her?
No reason at all, these days, she had exhausted her patience and effort, refraining from speaking, not bothering him, and carefully attending to him. He couldn’t have noticed anything.
Perhaps... it was just a casual question? After all, Gu Ningyi didn’t know the identity of the caretaker, did he?
So, she must be more natural and calm now, not showing any flaws or slips.
Zhou Yalin took a gentle breath, suppressing the anxiety in her heart, her lips curled slightly, a beautiful smile blooming on her delicate face. She nodded slowly at Gu Ningyi and replied in the same measured tone, "Yes, it’s me, the one who’s been with you these days, it’s me."
It’s me.
Two simple words, yet they landed on Gu Ningyi’s heart as if weighing a thousand pounds, his dark eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly felt dazed.
These days, those familiar feelings, the feelings of his heart stirring, were all because of Yalin?
So the person who took care of him back then was indeed Yalin, and not Dong Xin Yan?
But why does it feel so wrong? Why do the feelings feel completely different when he was blind and after his vision was restored?
"Have you really... always been here with me?" Gu Ningyi repeated word by word, his dark eyes deeply staring at Zhou Yalin, his gaze sharp as if it could pierce through one’s heart.
Zhou Yalin’s tightly clenched hand couldn’t stop sweating. His gaze instilled a fear within her as if she had nowhere to hide.
But she couldn’t panic, nor could she mess up. She had successfully deceived him perfectly for so many years, and this time, she could definitely do it too.
Zhou Yalin forced a smile, her red lips slightly parted, restraining the tremble in her voice, she answered, "Yes."
Yes.
Another heavy blow struck Gu Ningyi’s heart, his gaze deepened as he looked at Zhou Yalin, suddenly reaching out to clasp her wrist and with force, pulled her onto the bed.
His hands braced on either side of Zhou Yalin’s cheeks, closing his eyes, his handsome face slowly moving down.
Zhou Yalin never expected Gu Ningyi to press her onto the bed, she was stunned for several seconds, followed by extreme ecstasy.
For so many years, Gu Ningyi had never kissed her, so now, was it truly as she imagined, that he had regained feelings for her?
Yalin’s whole body couldn’t stop boiling, her lips curved, her eyes filled with love and infatuation, her hand involuntarily lifted to encircle Gu Ningyi’s neck.
The faint scent of a woman slowly wafted over, intoxicating and carrying a silent temptation that made one involuntarily fall into ecstasy.
However, at this moment, Gu Ningyi suddenly sobered up. His dark eyes opened abruptly, and then he halted his actions.
