No matter what, Gu Tingshen and Gu Zhiyan as siblings had an unbreakable blood bond.
I had initially thought that Tingshen, finding out I eavesdropped on their conversation, would confront me, and perhaps even reveal my hiding spot, but he did none of that, just gave me a rather complex look.
He gripped my arm and sighed ever so faintly, "Huanhuan, I won't force you into anything you don't want to do right now, you could try to trust me a little."
At these words, a shiver went through me, a bitter taste spreading at the bottom of my heart.
He hadn't broken these principles for me in the past, yet not only had he done so now, but he was also imploring me to trust him a bit.
Watching him soften his stance and lower his attitude, the sourness surged to my nose. Just when I was about to say something, the balcony door opened again and a man in uniform walked over.
