What's your feeling at the beginning? The aloof lawyer is crying!

Lin Yizhi's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a warm and bright smile. Her eyes were full of sincerity and expectation, and she whispered: "It doesn't matter if you reject me now, we can start as friends, and I will be satisfied as long as you are by my side." Her voice was like a clear silver bell, echoing in the air.

Gu Jiang frowned slightly, staring at Lin Yizhi closely. His eyes were full of doubt and confusion, as if he was looking at a stranger.

He really couldn't understand her. Lin Yizhi's persistence and frankness surprised him.

However, he also knew that Lin Yizhi was free, and he had no right to drive her away. Thinking of this, he sighed and said helplessly, "Whatever." Then, the two continued running.

Lin Yizhi followed Gu Jiang with light steps, her face full of youthful vitality and her eyes sparkling with excitement.

She would occasionally steal a glance at Gu Jiang, her heart filled with joy. Gu Jiang, on the other hand, had no expression on his face and ran attentively, as if Lin Yizhi didn't exist beside him.

After the run, Lin Yizhi was panting slightly, her cheeks flushed, and she shouted happily: "Oh, I'm so hungry after running for so long, I want to have breakfast!"

Gu Jiangze had no expression on his face, and just glanced at her indifferently, as if her enthusiasm had nothing to do with him. But he still walked silently towards the small stall he often went to. Seeing this, Lin Yizhi immediately followed him happily, like a happy little bird.

When she arrived at the small stall, Lin Yizhi looked at the simple environment and couldn't help but frowned slightly.

Her eyes were full of curiosity and suspicion, and she whispered softly, "Is there anything delicious here?"

Gu Jiang still had a cold face and did not respond to her. He just found an empty seat and sat down casually, as if nothing around him could arouse his interest. Lin Yizhi curled her lips helplessly and sat down as well.

After a while, the steaming porridge and buns were served. The porridge was warm in color and exuded a rich aroma; the buns were white, plump, and very tempting.

Lin Yizhi's eyes lit up instantly. She excitedly picked up a bun and took a light bite.

The juicy filling and soft dough spread in her mouth, and the delicious taste spread instantly. "Wow, it's really delicious!" She exclaimed loudly, with a satisfied smile on her face.

She turned her head, looked at Gu Jiang expectantly, and said enthusiastically: "Come and try it, it's really good!" But Gu Jiang just frowned slightly, glanced at the buns coldly, and remained unmoved.

Lin Yizhi was not discouraged. She continued to eat breakfast happily, and kept talking about how delicious the buns were. "The buns have such a soft skin, and the fillings are so fragrant. And this porridge smells so appetizing." She said as she ate, as if she wanted to share all her feelings with Gu Jiang.

Gu Jiang sat there quietly, not saying a word, only occasionally picking up the spoon to take a sip of porridge, with no expression on his face.

Lin Yizhi felt a little disappointed when she saw Gu Jiang's indifferent look, but she quickly adjusted her mood.

She smiled and said to Gu Jiang: "Do you often come here for breakfast? The food here is really good. We can come here often in the future."

Gu Jiang still didn't respond to her, just ate his breakfast silently. Lin Yizhi didn't mind, she continued to talk to herself, trying to break the awkward silence.

The morning sun shone on them, but it seemed unable to melt Gu Jiang's indifference. Gu Jiang sat there quietly, stirring the porridge in front of him with a spoon, but his thoughts were running wild like a wild horse.

He had never expected Lin Yizhi to be so enthusiastic and proactive. Memories flooded his heart like a raging tide.

She used to be as proud as a beautiful white swan. Her innate confidence and sense of superiority made her seem like she was standing above the clouds, overlooking everyone.

She does have reason to be proud. Her stunning beauty, intelligent mind and enviable family background have made her the focus of everyone's attention.

At that time, she never cared about other people's feelings. Every time, he would lower himself, coax her carefully, and obey her in everything.

But now, everything has changed. She has put aside her former pride and, like a moth to a flame, she is desperate to put her warm face on her cold butt.

This huge change made him feel an indescribable strange feeling in his heart.

There was deep surprise in that feeling. He could never have imagined that the once arrogant Lin Yizhi would have such a drastic change.

Is he really that important to her? But amidst the surprise and doubt, there was also a hint of emotion.

Her persistence and enthusiasm were like a bright meteor that instantly pierced through the silent night sky in his heart. That brilliant light caused ripples in his heart, which was originally like a stagnant pool of water.

He had to admit that he was not without feelings for Lin Yizhi. In those days, although his efforts were mostly out of helplessness, he had unknowingly left a soft space for her in a corner of his heart.

Now, facing her enthusiasm, his heart was in unprecedented entanglement and contradiction.

He didn't know how to respond to this sudden feeling. Should he continue to be indifferent and stick to his seemingly solid defense? Or should he open his heart and try to accept this new Lin Yizhi and rekindle the feelings that he had buried deep in his heart?
He shook his head slowly, his face full of pain and helplessness. When he thought of the healthy child he had lost because of her, an indescribable grief welled up in his heart.

The child's appearance seemed to be still before her eyes, nestling obediently in her belly, moving around from time to time.

But now, everything has vanished. His chest feels like it is being pressed down by a huge rock, so heavy that he can hardly breathe.

The uncomfortable feeling continued to spread in his heart, and he couldn't get rid of it. He told himself silently in his heart that it was still not possible. He couldn't forgive her, at least not now.

After finishing breakfast, Gu Jiang gently put down the cutlery in his hand, stood up, stretched his stiff body slightly, and then walked towards home.

Along the way, neither of them spoke.

After a while, Gu Jiang arrived at the door of his house. He reached into his pocket, took out the key, inserted it into the lock, and turned it gently. The door creaked open. (End of this chapter)
