Married to the Protagonist

Chapter 109: Another Try (1)



In retrospect, Gu Ci was sure that he had liked Chen Jinyao.

As for what sort of like it was, it had been so long that he wouldn’t be able to remember the details even if he tried to remember it now. The gist of it was, he was in the prime of his youth when he saw her, and he encountered a heart-racing moment.

But with his gentle character at the time, he would not have actually done anything despite how he felt. He had the vague idea she had someone she liked, so he chose to keep quiet. However, with his identity as senior and class assistant, he still stayed naturally by her side.

However, the more they got to know each other, the more Gu Ci found himself admiring her.

Everything seemed to be developing off-track, or perhaps it had been that way from the beginning. Needless to say, the safest way is for them to interact with each other as friends. As long as there is no major conflict, give it some time and they will be able to become close enough to be buddies, but these are all just guesses.

Later, Gu Ci decided to confess when he graduated.

But the world is unpredictable. He was offered the opportunity to study abroad before he graduated, and the one and only spot in the school fell to him. It was a rare opportunity and was just like getting a bachelor’s degree directly. It was already hanging in front of his eyes, he just had to reach out and grab it. “The future is bright”, of these words, he was at least able to grab the first two.

But extraordinary coincidences always end up happening in the world.

Some people could see through his feelings and asked Chen Jinyao to confirm whether the two of them were together. After getting a negative answer, those people took advantage of the opportunity to bring up the topic for him. “I think the class assistant likes you.”

After the truth was exposed by the others, Chen Jinyao began keeping a distance from him. There was nothing that needed to be said, her attitude clearly indicated how she felt about him.

So, after thinking about it, Gu Ci still chose the career that was so sought after by the others.

He was still torn about the decision. Even after he made the decision, he was still hesitant. His roommate at the time couldn’t stand it anymore and told him, “If an if or something definite appears before you, then you should grab hold of what is definite. Don’t you call me selfish either, people should be more considerate of themselves.”

The sky is the limit, his roommate reasoned with him. “Besides, you’ll meet more people in the future.”

It was hard to admit, but he actually agreed with his roommate.

But his roommate ended up turning the tables around again. “Why don’t you confess to her before you leave? Who knows, you might have a chance!”

Gu Ci thought about it but still ended up shaking his head. “No, who knows how long I’ll be gone after I leave.”

As the saying goes, you can’t have your cake and eat it too. You always have to give something up.

If not because of his character, then he either does not have enough confidence in himself, or he doesn’t like Chen Jinyao enough.

Gu Ci gained new insight from his roommate’s words. Not only did he not continue mulling over it, he ended up drilling into a whole other field. Just because his heart jumped didn’t mean that he liked her.

And with that, he went on his journey to the United States.

Who knows how many people he will meet that will move his heart as a member of the sensual human race.

But in truth, it was difficult to find someone else who made him feel the same way.

But now, when Chen Jinyao blurted those words without care, Gu Ci froze for a few seconds before it finally dawned on him.

As for what the problem is, he was probably the only one who knew. He glanced sideways at Cheng Jinyao and saw her chattering away with the man beside her about what to eat. She even introduced a bunch of delicious food in town to him. The man beside her also suffered a lot of damage as he leaned down and listened to her with raised brows. That hostile and mean look was no longer on his face.
