After the whole family went crazy and criticized the movie "Read My Mind", the heroine

She bit her lip, as if she was hesitating about something. Finally, she mustered up the courage and asked Gu Qingchen in her heart: [Brother Qingchen, will you marry Su Yuchen? ]

This sentence was like a heavy bomb, instantly causing a great disturbance in Gu Qingchen's heart. He was stunned, with a flash of astonishment and confusion in his eyes. He never thought that this question would be put in front of him so suddenly.

Gu Qingchen took a deep breath, trying to calm the turbulent waves in his heart.

He looked at Chen Shuyin's eyes full of expectation and fear, and his heart felt like being pricked by a needle. He knew that his answer meant a lot to Chen Shuyin, but he also knew that he couldn't make a promise easily.

"Shuyin..." Gu Qingchen started, but his voice seemed to tremble a little, "I... I don't know how to answer you."

After hearing this, the mist in Chen Shuyin's eyes finally turned into tears and slid down. She lowered her head and cried silently as if the whole world had collapsed, and her shoulders trembled.

Gu Qingchen looked at Chen Shuyin crying with heartache. He wanted to reach out and hug her to comfort her, but he found that he didn't have the courage to take that step. He was afraid that his hug would bring more harm to Chen Shuyin. Because he knew in his heart that his feelings for Chen Shuyin were sincere, but he couldn't disobey his sister's orders.

Chen Qiyu stood aside and watched this scene. He felt very uncomfortable in his heart. He walked to Chen Shuyin and gently patted her shoulder to try to comfort her: "Shuyin, don't be sad. Qingchen also has his own difficulties."

Hearing Chen Qiyu's words, Gu Qingchen raised his head and looked at him with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

After hearing Gu Qingchen's answer, Chen Shuyin felt like she had been hit hard, and her tears fell like beads from a broken string. She couldn't face this scene anymore, so she turned around and ran away, as if she wanted to escape from this heartbreaking place. However, due to her overexcitement, she stumbled and accidentally fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Gu Qingchen's heart tightened, and he subconsciously wanted to chase her and give her some comfort. However, just as he was about to take a step, Chen Qiyu stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Qingchen, let Shuyin be alone for a while." Chen Qiyu's voice was full of understanding and care. "She needs time to digest this matter now. I will go find her and give her some comfort."

Gu Qingchen stopped and looked at Chen Qiyu, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes. He knew that Chen Qiyu was Shuyin's cousin, and they had always had a good relationship. With Chen Qiyu around, Shuyin should be better taken care of.

"Thank you, Qi Yu." Gu Qingchen took a deep breath and tried to calm his heart. "Shu Yin...she has always been very dependent on you. I hope you can comfort her."

Chen Qiyu nodded, indicating that she understood: "Don't worry, I will do my best to comfort her and help her get out of this shadow as soon as possible."

Gu Qingchen thanked Chen Qiyu again and watched him leave. He knew that what Shuyin needed most now was time and understanding, and he also needed time to sort out his thoughts and emotions.

As Chen Qiyu left, the living room returned to silence again. Gu Qingchen stood there, feeling mixed emotions. He didn't know if he had made the right decision, but he understood that some things could not be achieved at the same time.

He hopes Shuyin can understand his difficulties and also hopes that she can find her own happiness.

For a long time, Chen Qiyu did not bring Chen Shuyin to the mansion as a guest. Gu Qingchen felt a sense of loss. Whenever he walked alone in this empty mansion, he could not help but think of the woman who always had a faint smile. Her every subtle expression and every word left a deep imprint in his heart.

However, with the heavy responsibility of restoring the country, Gu Qingchen knew that he could not have too many romantic feelings. He had to be patient and devote all his energy and time to the great cause of restoring the country. So he forced himself to shake Chen Shuyin's figure from his mind and focus on his own plan.

However, one day, the sudden visit of Queen Xu Yunxun disrupted all his plans. Xu Yunxun sat elegantly in the living room with a meaningful smile on her face, and slowly said: "Qingchen, I came here this time because I have a happy event to share with you."

Gu Qingchen's heart tightened. For some reason, he had a vague sense of foreboding. Sure enough, Xu Yunxun's next words were like a bolt from the blue, striking directly into his heart.

"When Chen Shuyin reaches adulthood, I will discuss with the emperor and decide to marry her to the second prince Zhou Xiangbei." Xu Yunxun's voice seemed to come from a distant place, and every word pierced Gu Qingchen's ears clearly.

Gu Qingchen felt a shock in his heart, and he stood there in a daze as if he had been struck by lightning. His mind was blank, and only that familiar and gentle figure remained in front of him. He could not accept the fact that his beloved was going to be betrothed to someone else.

After sending Xu Yunxun away, Gu Qingchen locked himself in the study room alone. He sat at the desk, staring blankly ahead, his heart full of confusion and bewilderment. He didn't know how to face this sudden news, and he didn't know how to fight for his own happiness.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and only his breathing could be heard in the study. His heart was filled with struggle and pain, as if a fire was burning in his heart. He finally understood that his forbearance and sacrifice had not brought him the result he wanted. The person he loved deeply was about to leave him and fall into the arms of someone else.

However, at this moment, he finally figured it out. He knew that he couldn't continue to endure like this, he had to fight for his own happiness. He couldn't let external factors interfere with his decision, he had to pursue the one he loved.

Gu Qingchen stood up suddenly, his eyes flashing with determination. He decided to find Chen Shuyin, tell her his feelings, and fight for their future. He knew that this road would be difficult and he would face countless difficulties and challenges, but he was willing to try and work hard.

He walked out of the study, out of the cage that had imprisoned him. He wanted to find his own happiness, to pursue the person he loved deeply. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were ahead, he would not give up, because he knew that only by bravely pursuing could he gain true happiness.

The competition among the twelve riders finally reached the semi-finals, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense and exciting.
