You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 167

This was one of the most important reasons why she was willing to compromise with Gu Mingchen.

She still longed for something. No matter how deep down it was hidden, it still existed in her heart.

“Alright. Then we’ll play a card game. Do we draw the cards randomly?” Bai Rong clarified the rules.

Gu Mingchen nodded and told the soldier to grab a deck of cards.

He shuffled the cards and let Bai Rong pick them.

After Bai Rong drew a card, he drew one too.

Gu Mingchen was good at the game and barely lost.

Bai Rong was also very cool with her defeat and she gulped the alcohol down in a single breath.

He was very thoughtful and did not play each round consecutively. Instead, he let her eat some snacks first before continuing.

She ate and drank a lot.

Eventually, she got drunk.

When Bai Rong came out from the toilet, she was already unstable on her feet.

“One more time.” She said as she sat down beside Gu Mingchen, her eyes half-closed.

“No. You’ve drank enough. You’ll hurt your body if you keep drinking like this.” Asserted Gu Mingchen in a deep voice.

“Hah.” Bai Rong laughed and her eyes were starry. Straddling Gu Mingchen’s lap, she placed her hands on his shoulder naturally. “Are you worried about me?”

Gu Mingchen pursed his lips and did not say anything.

Her gaze swept over his face. “Gu Mingchen, if you haven’t forgotten about me, how would we be like now?”

Gu Mingchen realized that she was really drunk. Her face was flushing and even her smile was becoming silly.

“How would we be like?” Asked Gu Mingchen, following her train of thoughts.

Bai Rong broke into a smile and touched his soft lips tenderly with her middle finger. She stroked it with a lingering obsession, yet the words she said were very pessimistic. “We won’t be anything. I’m not your type. You like Zhou Hailan.”

Gu Mingchen frowned and grabbed her finger, which was moving rashly above his lips. “You know Zhou Hailan.”

Bai Rong nodded and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

Zhou Hailan was his passionate love, yet also the thorn in his heart.

When Gu Mingchen saw her cry, he felt a weird sorrow in his heart. He wiped her tears away with his fingers and realized a possible reason. “Does she have something to do with our break-up?”

She had something to do, yet nothing to do with the break-up.

She was not involved because Bai Rong did not know Zhou Hailan. They appeared in different stages of his life.

Yet, she had a part to play because when Bai Rong met Gu Mingchen, his heart was still conquered by Zhou Hailan.

She could already tell from his reaction when he saw Xia He.

After he lost his memories, he forgot about her. Instead, he only remembered Zhou Hailan.

This was probably the direct trigger of her suicide.

When she thought about it, her heart clenched painfully and she did not want to talk about Zhou Hailan anymore.

“Gu Mingchen, I don’t like it when you keep trying to sound me out.” Said Bai Rong.

Gu Mingchen fell silent.

Bai Rong smiled. “Actually, I know that you’re keeping me by your side just to learn more about your past.”

“You’re drunk. Go and rest for a while. I’ll wake you up when we’re reaching Pingyan.” Gu Mingchen carried Bai Rong and placed her onto the bed.

Bai Rong pulled him down and circled her arms around his neck. The both of them were barely ten centimeters apart.

Gu Mingchen looked at her.

“Don’t you want to know which position we liked in the past?” asked Bai Rong.

Gu Mingchen looked at her fixedly and two miniature versions of Bai Rong could be seen reflected in his deep eyes.

She was laughing and crying at the same time. There was an emotion in her gaze that he could not grasp. It was a mixture of despair and peace.

“You’re really drunk.” Said Gu Mingchen as he frowned.

Bai Rong circled her legs around his waist and tugged him closer.

When Gu Mingchen got closer to her, he frowned slightly and gazed into her eyes.

This was a very normal movement.
