she looked just like a high school student, nothing like the dazzling star on the screen.The chances of her being recognized were slim, but just in case, she pulled her hat down low.But what she didn'...Nick walked up to Gu Baobei and sat beside her, looking at the design sketches she was looking at. Gu Baobei’s design drafts weren't new ones, but some from before. She was trying to find inspiration from her previous works.

Gu Baobei smiled at him, her attention immediately returning to her design drawings. After a simple greeting, Nick quietly watched Gu Baobei's perfect profile from the side. Her long hair was ruffled by the breeze, carrying a faint fragrance. Nick was somewhat distracted, but looking at Gu Baobei, he also felt a deep sadness. He had been by her side for years, and he had liked her for a very long time.

He always thought that Gu Baobei would be moved by him, as long as he gave him time. Although he knew that Baobei was hard to pursue and wouldn't be easily touched, he still worked very hard, wanting Baobei to fall in love with him.

However, will he lose her in the end despite all his efforts

Can we only be friends

“Nick, what’s wrong” Gu Bao noticed Nick’s silence and turned her head to ask with a smile. Nick was a lively and talkative person. When he was with her, he was rarely this quiet. Most of the time, Nick was the one who initiated the conversation, chattering non-stop.

"Lisa, have I lost my chance again" Nick asked sadly. Gu Bao was taken aback and didn't know what he meant at first. Seeing Nick's expression, Gu Bao realized the meaning behind his words. Lost his chance again

She had never given Nick a chance. But Nick was persistent, and for all these years, he kept pursuing her. Gu Baobei told him to go out and find his own love, to date other girls. He did as she said, going on dates with various women, but all the while, he remained deeply devoted to her.

Gu Bao didn't think she had done anything wrong. Love came when it came, and if it didn't, it didn't. It couldn't be forced. As for Nick, she had always been true to herself. She just felt a little uncomfortable thinking about his years of devotion.

Always friends.

"Nick, we've always been friends." Gu Baobei still said the old words. Nick was completely out of hope, and he asked unwillingly, "Why would you fall in love with him What's good about him He does chores at home, doesn't earn money, except for his looks, he's nothing special. Why do you like him"

Gu Baobei was surprised. Washing and cooking, won't that make money

She didn't refute the fact that she disliked Mok Chen, instead countering with, "Nick, you're wrong. Mok Chen is very capable. He's good at making money. Besides, there's nothing wrong with men cooking, doing laundry and housework. He takes good care of us mother and child."

"I don't believe it!"

"Whatever." Gu Baobei smiled faintly, very calmly. Nick was very unconvinced; he thought Gu Baobei was only saying this to protect Mo Chen's pride. In his eyes, Mo Chen was just a weak and useless pretty boy.

Gu Baobei chuckled as she sketched, "Nick, do you think Mo Chen is pathetic and not successful enough"

"Yes!" Nick said, "A man like that is irresponsible. He hasn't taken responsibility for taking care of you."

“What is success, what is being pathetic, and what is responsible” Gu Baobei smiled slightly. “The definitions are different. I have a couple of friends who raised three children. Because they were too busy with work, they didn't have time to take care of their children, so the two always quarreled. Later, he felt that his wife earned more money and had a brighter future than him, so he quit his job and focused on taking care of the three children at home. In his eyes, maintaining a stable and peaceful family and being a good husband and father is success. I know a designer who gave up his high-paying job and came to Paris alone, looking for inspiration on the streets every day and pursuing freehand painting. To him, living freely is success, not pathetic at all.There are many definitions of success, it doesn't necessarily mean that making more money is success or being responsible. Like my friends' family, if they keep quarreling and eventually get divorced, the family will be scattered, so what use is success Earning a lot of money but living an unhappy life isn’t true success. Living the life you have imagined in your heart and also living the life you want to live is being responsible for yourself and others, which is also a kind of success.Many people have thought about living freely, but it's more like a luxury. Nick, from any angle, Mo Chen is an excellent and successful person, he is the most responsible man I've ever met.”

This was a fact she had never denied, standing before her like iron. That's why after calming down, she treated Mo Chen with such peacefulness. He just wanted to be responsible for their mother and son, to take care of them.

As Gu Bao said this, the paintbrush in her hand never stopped, continuously sketching the design in front of her. A slight smile graced her face. Nick was taken aback, not expecting Gu Bao to say such a thing.

This is not a well-thought-out statement, but rather a formed concept from Gu Bao's upbringing. It's her worldview and values; it's incredibly rare for women to hold such values.

"Lisha, if he lives like this for the rest of his life, are you really willing to be with him" Nick couldn't understand Gu Baobei.

Gu Baobao said, "This depends on whether I like it or not. If he doesn't make money, what does it matter I can make money, I can support the family, and I can make sure the children live comfortably. As long as he is a good father, that's enough."

Besides, with so much money, where would you spend it

Nick had completely lost hope, but Mo Chen chuckled softly behind her.

His eyes were so gentle, as if he wanted to hold her in the palm of his hand.

Gu Bao Bao and Gu Xiang Yi are just like this kind of woman. Though young, they have experienced too much. They don't get easily moved, don't feel sadness easily, and don't give themselves easily, but they have a kind heart and a calm and collected temperament.

On them, one cannot see the restlessness of the entire society, nor the rapid pace of life in the city. They possess a tranquil essence, which is the true nature.

People can't love someone for no reason. There's always something that draws your attention to them.

When he was young, he fell in love with Gu BaoBao, captivated by her whimsical and charming personality. Years later, when they met again, Gu BaoBao's character had undergone a dramatic transformation. Yet, there was something fundamental about her that remained unchanged.

It is the environment in which Gu Baobao grew up, giving her a unique, comforting and peaceful aura.

And also look at Baby Gu's pure heart.

If love at first sight is a kind of love in a dream, then meeting again, he truly understood what it's like to love someone. All of this was experienced by him thanks to Gu Baobei, even though Baobei doesn't love him now.ient places. Tonight, another group had come to rescue people, probably political prisoners from jail. They were likely spies from some country, and there was no telling how many of them there were.Mo...
