It hurts, probably because she's upset.
She needs to thoroughly digest the things she learned tonight.
And, when she sees him again, she can't make it too obvious, she has to act like she knows nothing.
Unless he tells her about it again in person, she will never admit that she knows.
Brother South must have told her for her own good.
If they end up together and Gu Liancheng plans to never tell her, then she will also make it her lifelong secret, never to mention it.
Ah....
When she didn't know, she was curious; now that she knows, her heart aches for him even more.
Gu Liancheng, how can you be so bothersome?
She wants to quietly walk away, but she finds it a bit hard.
All of a sudden she wants to protect him, just like Wen Qianxi did in the past.
But she needs to seriously consider this decision because she can't leave him like Wen Qianxi did, inflicting on him a second wound.
Holding her phone without a single call from him.
Call!
