Chapter 113: Chapter 113 The Story from Many Years Ago

Ji Yu looked at the expression on the person in front of her and felt somewhat satisfied. "I don’t need you to treat me like this."

"You will need it." Gu Qixiao was very confident about their future.

Such a resolute attitude left Ji Yu feeling helpless, as if their relationship had always been this way.

"You’re really confident, but unfortunately, there’s no way I’ll always maintain this attitude toward you."

She had other things to do; she couldn’t always indulge in this kind of romance.

Gu Qixiao said nothing further, quietly driving Ji Yu all the way to the orphanage.

The orphanage director, seeing Ji Yu and Gu Qixiao arriving together, was quite surprised. "It seems you and Mr. Gu are getting along pretty well."

Ji Yu wanted to retort, but upon thinking about it, this was indeed somewhat unusual.

"We’re just friends." This was the only explanation she could offer.

But how could the director not know what Ji Yu was thinking? She looked at Gu Qixiao with eyes full of approval.

"Alright, since you’re here, hurry inside and see the children."

The children had been much more well-behaved recently, thanks to Ji Yu’s lessons. At the very least, they were now willing to attend culture classes.

When they saw Ji Yu and Gu Qixiao, they swarmed around them like a flock.

"Sister Yu, Uncle Gu, you’re finally here to play with us!"

Every time he heard this title, Gu Qixiao would choke up. But since the children were used to calling him that, he didn’t want to correct them.

"Of course we came to see you." Ji Yu pinched Xiu’s little cheek. Noticing they were learning to draw, she couldn’t help but take a look at their masterpieces.

"Sister Yu, can you draw?"

"I can." She couldn’t help but recall her childhood. She’d always been interested in these things. Now, picking up a paintbrush again felt quite enjoyable.

The children’s tools were simple, but Ji Yu drew effortlessly nonetheless.

"Sister Yu, is that me you’re drawing?" Xiu’s eyes widened in surprise, clearly delighted.

"Yes, Xiu. Do you think it looks good?"

Her drawings were very lifelike, and the children found them fascinating. They quickly huddled around, asking to be drawn as well.

Ji Yu didn’t refuse, patiently placating them and adding each one of them into the drawing.

In this moment, Ji Yu’s gentleness was entirely unlike her usual self.

For a moment, Gu Qixiao didn’t know what to say.

Perhaps this was what people called being moved at heart.

He simply stood to the side, quietly watching Ji Yu, as if he could keep watching her like this forever.

But such moments were always fleeting. When the director came to call them to dinner and saw the scene, she couldn’t help but feel a bit amused.

"You really are putting Sister Yu on the spot, but you’ve found the right person. Your Sister Yu’s talent in drawing is unmatched."

When she spoke of Ji Yu, it was with pride.

Out of all the children back then, Ji Yu was the one she held in the highest regard.

"Director, please stop complimenting me." Seeing the director begin to praise her endlessly, Ji Yu suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.

After all, there were things from back then that Ji Yu didn’t like to recall too much. Sometimes, simply remembering the happy moments was enough.

But Gu Qixiao, on the other hand, was very curious about what Ji Yu had been like in the past. "Director, why not tell me more about Doctor Ji’s earlier days? I’m quite curious about what she was like before."

He positioned himself in front of Ji Yu, not giving her a chance to object.

The director, already feeling optimistic about them, was naturally happy to talk about the past.

The three of them began to eat and chat, but once the director started talking, it was hard for her to stop.

"Actually, Yu was a very quiet child back then. Even when something happened, she rarely made a sound. But when it came to matters crossing her bottom line, she’d charge in like a little firecracker, ready to fight."

This was something Ji Yu had almost forgotten. Hearing the director bring it up now, she suddenly recalled the somewhat mortifying scene.

"Director, that was so long ago. Don’t bring it up anymore," she tried to stop her. At the very least, she didn’t want Gu Qixiao hearing about it. Otherwise, who knew how long he’d laugh at her for it.

But with Gu Qixiao there, one person loved sharing stories while the other loved listening.

"Yu, that’s all in the past. Plus, it’s good for you two to get to know each other better. Back then, when this girl fought, she was like she didn’t care for her own life. Quite a few boys learned not to mess with her."

Apart from the incident with the doll, Ji Yu rarely suffered any setbacks.

Gu Qixiao glanced at Ji Yu and, thinking about her current temperament, found it completely plausible.

"It seems Doctor Ji’s past was quite colorful," he said, with a faint trace of amusement in his eyes.

Ji Yu’s face inexplicably flushed. Numb to the situation unfolding before her, she could only mechanically poke at her rice with her chopsticks.

She dreaded the possibility of hearing something even more mortifying.

Fortunately, the director only spoke of Ji Yu’s endearing traits and didn’t go any further. Otherwise, Ji Yu felt she might lose all face entirely today.

Feeling a bit helpless about it all, Ji Yu said, "Director, Mr. Gu and I aren’t that close, actually."

She deliberately emphasized the "Mr. Gu," as if to make it clear how distant their relationship was.

Gu Qixiao smiled. "That’s alright. We’ll get closer over time, Doctor Ji."

It seemed he had completely forgotten their earlier unpleasant incidents.

But Ji Yu didn’t know what to say anymore. The current situation was giving her intense second-hand embarrassment.

She couldn’t even figure out what to say to change the circumstances before her.

"You seem to care a lot about these things?" He thought Ji Yu would’ve grown accustomed to such topics by now.

"I just don’t like discussing these things in front of strangers!" Ji Yu perfectly demonstrated what it meant to be stubborn despite the truth.

However, Gu Qixiao only found the Ji Yu before him to be exceptionally adorable.

After all, those past events had already been engraved in his heart.

No matter when, as long as he thought of those moments, he remembered Ji Yu’s lovable side.

"So some people’s temper is just a self-defense mechanism. But no matter what kind of person you are, I like you all the same."

He gazed at Ji Yu with a smile, his eyes full of tenderness, making her feel at a loss.

"What does my temper have to do with you? And you absolutely cannot tell anyone about this. Otherwise, I’ll make sure you regret it."

She only wanted to escape as quickly as possible. Some things could lead to heart-pounding moments, and Ji Yu understood this well.

Some people were simply destined to remain impossible.
