Even after so many years of looking for her, he never found her again.
The more he missed that girl, the more he regretted it.
He had drunk too much yesterday, and the regret that was suppressed in his heart was like a flood that burst its banks and drowned him.
He did not even know how he got to the entrance of this restaurant. All he could think about was that he wanted to see her. He must see her.
It was as if seeing her would make him feel better.
However, later, when he saw her, the girl in his memory kept on interlacing with her, who was in the real world. He ended up forgetting his manners.
It was a pity that even though he was drunk yesterday, he still remembered what he had done to her.
He would not care if it were any other woman.
However, with Ling Yiran, she was different.
Not because she was Yi Jinli's girlfriend, but just because she looked so much like the girl he imagined she would grow up to be.
Even though she was not the little girl, he did not want to be disliked by her.
"It's no big deal. We're even," replied Ling Yiran lightly. She had also slapped him last night.
Even... For some reason, Gu Lichen thought the words sounded a little harsh. "Don't you want to ask me what happened last night?"
Ling Yiran pressed her lips together and said sternly, "No way! Even if I didn’t know Jin, I wouldn't date you."
Her answer gave him a sudden stab in the heart. "Why?"
"Because you have too many ex-girlfriends, I don't want to be one of them. Besides, you have someone in your heart. I don't want to be a substitute for anyone," answered Ling Yiran. She just wanted to be herself.
Gu Lichen immediately laughed at himself and let her go. "That's really... Something I can't argue with." His ex-girlfriends were all substitutes, after all.
Ling Yiran walked over to the cash register. A moment later, she hurried out of the small restaurant again with the orders to be delivered.
Gu Lichen sat in his seat, turning the cup of tea in his hand without making a sound for a long time.
