Chapter 252: Living in the Same City
The day passed by quickly, filled with exhaustion. Gu Fan returned home with his tried body and slumped onto the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling. It was a while before he sighed heavily.
Gu Fan realized that he had been overlooking a key point. What if Lin Xi was also forced into her circumstances? After her memories of her past life were awakened, she may have felt obliged to fulfill her previous promises. She may have been thrust into a leadership position by Du Jun and his team, forced to lead them in their quest for eternal life.
Was Lin Xi willing or was she forced to do so? Those were two entirely different issues.
Shaking his head, Gu Fan decided to stop thinking about it. The issues involved were too numerous. Given how things had progressed, if he tried to understand everything, it might...
Gu Fan remembered Lin Xi’s words once more. She had said that if she wanted to, she could use her supernatural power to erase Gu Fan’s memories. But she didn’t do that. Instead, she willingly let Gu Fan pull her away. What did that indicate?
Gu Fan seemed to have noticed something, but he did not chase after Lin Xi, because at that moment, the image of Leng Le flashed in his mind.
The more Gu Fan thought, the more his headache worsened. He clenched his fists and breathed deeply in an attempt to suppress his tumultuous emotions. He could only tell himself that the past was over. Regardless of who was right or wrong, and regardless of the truth, everything was in the past. The most important thing right now was to seize the present.
Just as Gu Fan had finally put those messy thoughts aside, Su Hui returned home. Upon entering the room, her solemn expression was immediately noticeable.
A little worried, Gu Fan asked her, "What’s wrong, Sister Su. You don’t look too well."
