"Are you even thinking about Brother right now, being all alone?" Gu Zijun asked.
"I haven't," Qiao Xiguan replied directly. "Who knows whose side your brother might take?"
"Brother is the smartest person in our family; he definitely sees things clearer than I do. And this incident with Ziyan has nothing to do with you."
"Who knows?!" Qiao Xiguan shrugged after washing up, "Anyway, I don't trust anyone."
"Not even Brother?"
"Not even him," Qiao Xiguan confirmed without any hesitation.
"You and Brother have been inseparable lately; everyone can see that you have a good relationship with him. I always thought you loved Brother," said Gu Zijun, his heart inexplicably starting to beat a bit faster.
As if he had brought up a subject that set the heart racing.
"Sometimes whether you trust someone or not has nothing to do with love," Qiao Xiguan said. "I love Gu Zichen, but I don't trust him."
Gu Zijun frowned.
His heart, as if on cue, ached for a moment.
Just for a second.
