816 The Elevator Scare (1)

Gu Xingze stood in the rain with his back facing her.

Yun Shishi rushed into the rain and slowly walked up to him upon seeing his footsteps stopped. She attempted to pull his hand, but the moment her trembling fingers was about to touch his, his hand retracted, as if he had gotten electrocuted.

Her eyes exuded a hurt gaze.

"Brother…"

Her helpless yet weak cry hit the most tender part of his heart.

With a hoarse voice, she asked, "Why are you always avoiding me? You clearly love me, too, so why are you always escaping? What exactly are you escaping from?"

He trembled for a bit, but very quickly, he constrained the roaring sea in his heart and feigned calmness.

"I'm not… escaping."

"You are! You clearly are!" she yelled in exasperation. "You're always avoiding me! Always!"

With that, she reached out to hook his hand.

He did not shun her touch this time.
