Reborn In The Apocalypse: It Had Always Been You Novel - Chapter 91

Chapter 91 Gu Jincheng’s Weirdness

She brought Gu Zhao to her room. As they were passing by Jinsi, Jinsi pushed his glasses up his nose and looked at Gu Zhao. He knew this man, but the way he looked at Su Shanshan made him raise his eyebrows. This was definitely not the look a bodyguard should have.

He did not say anything and nodded before stepping aside to let them pass.

As they came to her room, Su Shanshan asked hurriedly, “Why doesn’t Gu Jincheng remember me? Do you know?”

Gu Zhao looked at her. She was right there with him but was worrying about another man. He felt a surge of bitterness and pain in his heart. He had wanted to ask, ‘Have you been well this past year?’ but put away the question. What right do I have to ask this? he thought.

“I’m not very sure either. After you got into trouble back then, Master disappeared together with you. When he reappeared, he no longer remembered you. But it’s not just simple amnesia. Master remembers everything that happened before, except—” Before he could finish, she picked it up.

She said, “He only forgot about me, right?”

Gu Zhao nodded. Seeing that her expression was not right, he quickly consoled her. “Perhaps this incident back then was too big a blow to Master. He subconsciously hid your memories. He will definitely remember.” When he said this, the bitterness in his heart had already spread to his entire body, but looking at the woman in front of him, it was fine as long as she was happy.

Su Shanshan was not as sad as Gu Zhao had imagined. After all, she had already met Gu Jincheng the last time and naturally accepted this fact. She was only thinking about how to make him remember.

“Can I see him?” Su Shanshan asked. She had thought about breaking in again, but since the last time, the security in the central area had become tighter. She did not want to force her way in. Gu Zhao looked at her expectant gaze and nodded. “I can help you to go in.”

Su Shanshan immediately wanted to agree, but she remembered that Gu Jincheng did not know her now. It would be bad if Gu Jincheng fell out with her and Gu Zhao got implicated. She shook her head again and said, “Forget it, I’d better wait. There will be a chance to meet him eventually.”

“Help me hand this to him.” Su Shanshan took out the extraterrestrial meteorite she had placed near her chest and handed it to Gu Zhao.

Gu Zhao naturally knew what this thing was. After all, he had seen with his own eyes how difficult it had been for Su Shanshan to get this thing. He took it silently and placed it next to his chest.

Su Shanshan quickly said, “I’m looking for you about another matter. You’ve already sensed the harmful effects of mutant plants and animals. Soon, it will be time for birds to migrate. They want to fly to the south, so they will definitely pass by the Southwestern base. Tell Gu Jincheng that zombie birds are most afraid of lightning and that we have to be on guard against them.”

“Oh yeah, don’t say it was me. I was afraid he wouldn’t believe me,” Su Shanshan added.

Gu Zhao looked at her concern for the base and knew that she was really only worried about his master. He nodded and agreed. No matter what she said, he would agree.

After handing over these things, Su Shanshan finally felt relieved. She looked at Gu Zhao and asked, “I haven’t asked you yet. How have you been recently?”

These words made Gu Zhao’s cold heart beat faster again. Just one sentence from her warmed his heart. He smiled awkwardly. “I’m fine.”

Su Shanshan covered her mouth and laughed. “I can tell, but Gu Zhao, you really like to laugh now. This is very good. It’s much better than your previous cold demeanor.”

Gu Zhao was smiling more naturally now. He smiled again and said, “Is that so?”

Su Shanshan nodded affirmatively.

The two of them chatted for a long time before he left. Gu Zhao’s smile disappeared the moment he stepped out of the villa and his face returned to its usual cold demeanor. His smile was only for one person. Gu Zhao returned to the Gu family’s villa in the central district. He went straight to Gu Jincheng’s study and knocked on the door.
