Chapter 611: Chapter 359: You Ruirui’s Visit, a Silent Farewell (Double-Length)

In her memory, Gu Qiye has never had a close relationship with any girl of the same age since childhood.

Even when she was extremely popular in school, receiving love letters frequently, this big brother always gently yet distantly rejected them.

Every time Su Zimai heard Gu Qiye talk about those ridiculous romantic experiences at the dinner table, she wished she could jump in herself, controlling her brother’s body to win over those girls who confessed to him, feeling exasperated at this wooden brother who couldn’t meet her expectations.

But to this day, she indeed hasn’t seen anyone who could make her brother show such an expression.

Ever since their mother passed, Gu Qiye has only been concerned about family, living a life devoid of personal interests, let alone caring for other girls.

Yet, this white-haired girl named "You Ruirui" accomplished it, Su Zimai’s mind wandered.

At this moment, Gu Qiye’s expression appeared extremely unbelievable in Su Zimai’s eyes, making her unable to help but take a few more glances secretly.

However, among everyone, Gu Zhuo Case’s feelings were the most mixed and complex.

His furrowed eyebrows showed the faint pain from being pinned to the ground with an ice spike through his abdomen, the scene of the girl smashing a meteorite onto the Ferris wheel still vividly in his memory.

"What exactly is the relationship between Qiye and her...?" Gu Zhuo Case pondered, head bowed, "Could it be..."

He looked up at Gu Qiye, suddenly recalling the look in Su Ying’s eyes the first time she saw him a long time ago, clearly concerned, but pretending to be indifferent, her eyes bright and lively.

Gu Qiye’s eyes are the same now, just like his mother’s.

Su Zimai several times wanted to speak up but held back because she wasn’t sure if the Divine Concealment Umbrella could block their voice, then she suddenly thought of a way to communicate silently. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

So she took out her phone from the pocket of her hoodie and typed quietly.

Then she raised the screen and shook it vigorously in front of Gu Qiye.

Gu Qiye was staring vacantly at You Ruirui’s profile, puzzled as to why You Ruirui would come to their house at this time; shouldn’t the investigation of this apartment building by the authorities have been concluded?

He only snapped back to reality upon seeing the phone screen shaking in front of him, so he looked up and saw a line of Chinese characters at the top of the screen:

—"Bro, is she the little white-haired girl you told me about?"

Gu Qiye silently nodded, Su Zimai put away the phone, lowered her head, and typed swiftly, then raised it again.

"Why is she here? Did she discover us?" she asked.

"Doesn’t seem like it." Gu Qiye mouthed silently.

"Should we go out then?" Su Zimai asked, "Didn’t you say your relationship with her is alright? We shouldn’t need to hide from her, right? Or is this Rainbow Wings’ beauty trap, just to trick you into falling for it?"

Gu Qiye remained silent for a long time, then took out his phone from his coat pocket and typed, "The people from Rainbow Wings know that she and I are quite close. Now her every move is likely monitored, and it’s very possible that officials are hiding nearby. We can’t go out."

"Really? I feel like you want to go out."

"If it was just me, I might go chat with her for a bit. But with you all here, I won’t risk your safety." Gu Qiye typed honestly.

"Alright, I almost pushed you out from under the umbrella." Su Zimai typed as well.

Gu Qiye ignored her, quietly watching You Ruirui’s figure.

She took off her sun hat, placed it on the sofa, and walked casually around the living room, examining every corner seriously and curiously, opening the fridge door to look at the empty freezer shelf, seeing some ice pops melted into water.

You Ruirui stared at those ice pops, then raised her hand, using superpowers to add a few pieces of ice to the freezer, and quickly the fridge began working again. She took out a blueberry-flavored ice pop.

"Ah, the ice pops I bought this morning!" Su Zimai typed quickly.

You Ruirui put the ice pop back, walked to the TV, and glanced at the family photo album on the cabinet.

"Bro, how did you forget the photo album!" Su Zimai typed again.

After opening the album, You Ruirui sat on the sofa and looked at it for a while.

She is a hyperthymesia patient, who could rapidly skim through the photos in the album like cheating, then recall them slowly. But she didn’t do so, just leisurely swept through the photos, her gaze carelessly skipping over Gu Qiye’s childhood face.

Seeing little Gu Qiye on the lawn striking an Ultraman pose, You Ruirui lowered her icy blue eyes, the corners of her mouth lifting into an almost invisible smile.

The living room was empty, so quiet you could hear a pin drop, leaving only the rustling sound of the album’s pages turning.

Cezar and Su Zimai turned their heads, looking at the umbrella-holding Gu Qiye with suspicious and strange expressions.

Gu Qiye raised a hand to cover his face, his ears slightly red, cheeks flushed, a moment later, You Ruirui finally finished flipping through that not-too-thick album.

Because Gu Wenyu disliked taking photos, detested appearing in front of the camera, thus since childhood, their family photos were mostly forced by Su Ying, and since Su Ying’s accident passing, they’ve never taken photos together again.

Thus the number of photos left in the family album wasn’t much, and sitting on the sofa flipping through for a while was enough to finish.

Afterward, You Ruirui got up from the sofa and went upstairs.
