Gu Lili paused in her actions, turned her head to look at him, and said, "Even if time flowed backward, I'm afraid we still wouldn't be together, because it's destined to be this way."
"Have you fallen in love with him after being married to him for so long?"
"He's so outstanding, it's hard not to fall in love, isn't it?"
"And what about him?"
"He doesn't love me."
Gu Xichen replied, "I knew it."
"You know shit," Gu Lili couldn't help but retort. "Even you regret not marrying me. Doesn't he know what a good, rare, and excellent woman I am? He'll fall in love with me sooner or later."
Gu Xichen chuckled, "Who praises themselves like that?"
"Is that not allowed?"
"Allowed, allowed, allowed."
After dinner, the two of them washed up, then laid their beds on the rooftop, each with their own mosquito net. Lying there, Gu Lili exclaimed, "It's like going back to the old days. In the summers of the past, I used to sleep in the yard with my master to cool off."
