4506 The Other Side 475
Many realizations come when one is on the brink of death. He really thought he was going to lose you.
Lying in bed, the actor replayed Aliceâs words in his mind. If it had not been for her, he would not have known that he was so important to Gong Jie. But why? He could not figure out why such an outstanding man would like him.
Alice laughed when she heard that. âThe concept of âlikeâ is too abstract. Take me as an example. I fell in love with him the moment I saw him. I canât remember what I liked about him, but I vaguely remember being deeply infatuated by his youthful frivolity and high-spiritedness.â
She liked him. It happened in just the space of a glance. She didnât understand why she was so rational when it came to other peopleâs relationships, but once she fell in love, she lost her senses.
âBack when Gong Jie was infected with the Aymanla virus, I used myself as an experimental subject to save him because I âlikedâ him. I couldnât believe that such a day would come where I would be so ruthless to myself and use myself as a research subject. At that time, I actually didnât have any expectations. I even thought that if the experiment should fail, at least he wouldnât be lonely with me by his side.â
ââ¦â
âBut I never thought about what I wanted in return for the sacrifice I made. I liked him, and that was all that mattered. And even when I found out that he liked you, I had no regrets.â
Alice smiled cunningly. âHmph, at least I feel better about it. Otherwise, Iâd be devastated.â
In Aliceâs room, she took out many photographs of Gong Jie in his youth. Previously, when she was helping the man tidy up his room, she thought that the young Gong Jie looked especially adorable and interesting in the photographs, so she secretly kept them for herself. Normally, she wouldnât take them out.
She showed the actor the photographs one at a time. Most of the images were of his younger self.
Alice sighed as she showed the actor the photographs. âXiao Jie really likes you.â There was an indescribable envy in her tone. âIâve never seen him smile like that at anyone.â
The actor flipped through the photographs page by page. In the images, whether they were taken in his youth or adulthood, he inevitably sported the same cold and unsmiling expression in front of the camera. It seemed he really hated to smile.
There was a family portrait of the Gong family in which everyone was in the Gong familyâs private military school uniform. Gong Jie stood in the middle of the back row with a terrifyingly gloomy expression. It was hard to imagine that the young man in the photo was the man in his youth.
âHe looks so murderous.â
âIndeed, he has a murderous aura. Iâve always felt that heâs a very heartless and cold-blooded person. I remember thereâs a saying that if a personâs murderous aura is very strong, itâs likely heâll have a hard life. Even the King of Hell doesnât dare to take him in. We made jokes about him living a long life, haha!â Alice laughed and let out a long sigh of relief. âBut now, Xiao Jie has changed significantly. Other than Shishi, youâve also changed him significantly.â
The actor sighed. âMe? What⦠capabilities would I have to do this?!â
What capabilities would he have!
