Chapter 564 Tell me, why do you like me?
However, at this moment, He Yi suddenly stopped, looking apologetic, "I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself."
Gu Zhiyao looked at him with a confused expression, quite surprised that he could stop halfway through.
"Come on, let's go to sleep." He Yi lay down straight and helped her lie down as well, tidying up her pajamas that had been messed up earlier.
Gu Zhiyao continued to look at him thoughtfully for a moment, her chaotic emotions gradually calming down.
"Shall we have a chat? Tell me about your past life, when you were little, and when did you fall in love with me? Why did you fall in love with me?" He Yi suddenly asked again.
Gu Zhiyao was stunned. Meeting his burning gaze, her pretty face unconsciously flushed red. Then she turned her face away and stopped looking at him.
He Yi's fingers moved to her chin, gently turning her face towards him, his tone both tender and domineering. "I want to know, will you tell me?"
Gu Zhiyao gazed at the captivating tenderness in his eyes, as if drawn by magic.
She then said softly, "That time you came to the orphanage and gave me snacks. I accidentally dropped some on the ground, but you weren't upset, nor did you look at me with mockery like others did. I thought you were so kind. When the fire broke out, I rushed in to save you without hesitation. Later, you told me that if we were lucky enough to survive, you would let me be your girlfriend and marry me when we grew up. At the time, I didn't understand these things, but as I grew older, I understood what it meant. And since junior high, when I see some classmates dating, I can't help but think of you and your promise to me..."
That's it!
"So, marrying me became your dream, your goal, and you even came to work at the company just to get closer to me?"
"Hmm. I don't know if you remember, but once your company was greatly affected by legal issues, and I thought to myself that I should study law properly in the future and go to the company to help you. It was silly, wasn't it?"
“No, I’m not stupid! I’m sorry, I didn’t know you’d been through so much, I didn’t know you were thinking like this. Actually…” He Yi hesitated for a moment, then resolutely continued, “During that time, my parents often argued, and I was in a bad mood. I even felt like life was bleak, which is why I set that fire. I didn’t expect you to appear. When I told you to be my girlfriend, and even that I would marry you in the future, it was just a spur-of-the-moment thing. I didn’t really mean it because I’ve never been such an impulsive person. Later, when I was rescued, I was told that Zheng Yuanxi was the one who saved me from the fire. At that time, I didn’t think about anything with her. But after we got to know each other better, I realized she was a good person, and I remembered the promise I made. So I started to develop a relationship with her.”
"Mmm," Gu Zhiyao responded softly.
"Are you angry?" He Yi asked.
Gu Zhiyao stared at him for a few seconds, then shook her head. "No, you're absolutely right. Who would promise a lifetime to a stranger for no reason, even if the other person risked their life to save them?"
"But you actually took it seriously? You've kept this promise all these years and worked hard for it." He Yijun's face was full of guilt again. "I'm sorry, I know it would be too much to tell you the truth, but I didn't want to lie to you. I just wanted to tell you my true feelings because you are the person I love, and I don't want to hide anything from you."
