What's Wrong with Getting a New Wife? [Rebirth] [MTL]

Chapter 22

　　Gu Ji tightened his fingertips, a little hesitant, "... Yeah."

　　He wasn't sure what the call could be, but he really didn't want to stay in this place any longer.

　　"Then let's go." Yan Congyu took Gu Ji's hand, stood up and made up an excuse: "Sorry, something happened at school, we have to leave first."

　　The environment was a bit noisy, and the darkness seemed to affect his hearing. It took Cheng Zhuo a long time to react, "...Ah?"

　　Yan Congyu said: "I have something to do. We'll meet again next time."

Xu Jingyin didn't hear clearly, "Did Xiao Gu leave too?"

　　"Seems like they left together? They said something happened at school?"

　　The two came out of the shop. The whole street was still dark without much light, but the view was much wider, which alleviated the feeling of stuffiness in the depressing space.

　　Yan Congyu let go of his hand and asked, "Going back to school?"

　　Thinking of the empty dormitory, Gu Ji felt a little resistant.

　　He pursed his lips and begged, "Walk with me."

　　"Okay." Yan Congyu didn't ask why, and agreed quickly, "Let's go over there, there's a light."

　　The power outage only cut off the circuit on one street here, and the rest of the place was still brightly lit.

　　Gu Ji walked side by side with Yan Congyu, feeling confused. He looked down at Yan Congyu's hand several times, hesitated for a long time and asked, "...I didn't hurt you just now, did I?"

　　Although they were alone now, Yan Congyu did not have any romantic thoughts. He just felt sad about what had happened to Gu Ji. There were always times when Gu Ji made him feel like a fragile glass bottle.

　　"No." Yan Congyu raised his hand to show him, "I don't feel anything now."

　　Gu Ji took Yan Congyu's hand and checked it carefully. After seeing that there was nothing unusual, he breathed a sigh of relief and apologized in a low voice: "...I'm sorry, my emotions are not stable."

　　Yan Congyu noticed that Gu Ji seemed to take some things as his own fault, and he could hear self-blame in his tone. He had said sorry twice from the beginning to now.

　　"No need to say sorry." Yan Congyu said softly: "People tend to be emotionally unstable, it's nothing serious."

　　Gu Ji lowered his eyes, "But I can't control it."

　　Even if he knew something would not happen, when he experienced a similar scene again, Gu Ji still found it difficult to control himself and fell into the fear of the time. Every time this happened, he would feel a strong sense of frustration.

　　Yan Congyu said: "This is also normal. If you can't control yourself, just vent it out. It will be fine after a while."

　　Gu Ji let out a breath, still feeling a little embarrassed.

　　Yan Congyu slowed down his pace and said, "You didn't do anything wrong, there's no need to blame yourself."

　　This sentence made Gu Ji lose his concentration for a short while. He hesitated for a few seconds and asked, "...Do you think I am right?"

　　Yan Congyu didn't know what had happened to make Gu Ji like this. He felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart and nodded in a low voice.

　　Maybe it was his partiality, but no matter what happened, Yan Congyu believed in Gu Ji.
