Chapter 538 The Former Substitute
Gu Tingyu always felt that Shen Nianxu was like a gust of wind, always slipping away from him.
In the dim backstage of a movie press conference, Gu Tingyu finally found Shen Nianxu.
"Nianxu, why do you always avoid me? What happened between us?"
Gu Tingyu grabbed Shen Nianxu's arm, staring intently at her, trying to find the answer in her eyes.
Shen Nianxu frowned slightly, her eyes darting away, not daring to look Gu Tingyu in the eye. "It's nothing, don't ask."
Her voice was somewhat cold as she tried to break free from Gu Tingyu's grasp.
Gu Tingyu refused to let go, "We are clearly in love, why are you doing this to me? Did I do something wrong?"
His voice trembled slightly, and his hands tightened involuntarily, as if he was afraid that if he let go, Shen Nianxu would disappear.
Shen Nianxu bit her lip. "It's not your problem, it's my own fault. Please don't ask anymore."
She forcefully broke free from Gu Tingyu's hand, turned around and walked away quickly, leaving Gu Tingyu alone on the spot.
Gu Tingyu stood there, looking utterly lost.
He didn't understand why Shen Nianxu had suddenly become like this.
Li Yan's office.
Gu Tingyu sat on the sofa, looking at Li Yan with a helpless expression.
"Mom, I don't know why Nianxu is distancing herself from me. Do you know what's going on?"
Gu Tingyu's voice was somewhat hoarse, and his fingers kept twisting his clothes, revealing his inner anxiety.
Li Yan looked at Gu Tingyu, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes, "I...I'm not quite sure either, but you can try to talk to her properly, maybe there's some misunderstanding."
She actually knew some things, but she didn't know whether she should tell Gu Tingyu, because she didn't want him to get hurt.
Gu Tingyu shook his head with a wry smile, "I've tried, but she won't say anything. I really don't know what to do."
Li Yan sighed softly, walked over and patted Gu Tingyu on the shoulder, "Don't be discouraged, Xiaoyu, maybe time will solve everything."
Gu Tingyu walked back to his room, looking lost and dejected, as if the world around him had nothing to do with him.
His eyes were vacant, and his steps were unsteady, like a puppet whose soul had been taken away.
He couldn't understand why his once inseparable relationship with Shen Nianxu had turned so cold in an instant.
For the next few days, Gu Tingyu did not work and locked himself in his room, refusing to eat or drink.
Li Yan knocked anxiously on the door from outside, "Tingyu, open the door, don't torture yourself like this."
She kept turning the doorknob.
Gu Tingyu lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, unresponsive to his mother's calls.
The image of Shen Nianxu's cold departure kept flashing through his mind, piercing his heart time and time again.
Left with no other option, Li Yan found a spare key and opened the door.
Seeing her son so dejected, Li Yan sat down by the bed and gently stroked Gu Tingyu's hair. "Xiaoyu, I'm very worried about you. There are some things I didn't want to tell you, but now it seems you have the right to know."
Gu Tingyu turned his head slightly and looked at Li Yan.
Li Yan sighed and slowly said, "Tingyu, do you still remember Xu Rou?"
When you were with Nianxu before, some of your actions made her feel that you were just using her as a substitute for Xu Rou.
She no longer trusts you. She doesn't know if you're sincere or just playing around, and she doesn't want to waste her time on this relationship.
Gu Tingyu sat bolt upright, filled with shock and remorse. "A substitute? I...I was wrong..."
He unconsciously covered his head with his hands.
