Guild Boss's Ambition

But I just couldn't cry, and crying didn't have that effect.

The memories in the clouds late at night made me feel so painful that I turned over and huddled up in bed, hugging my wounded self.

"Well, that is?"

Suddenly, my heel touched something cold.

My heart was shocked and I hurriedly checked the foreign object covered by the quilt.

It was a girlish style bracelet.

There is no doubt that it will not be mine.

The only people who have been to my room recently are Xiaolan, Gushan and Berlani.

In other words, this bracelet belongs to Gushan.

Because apart from work, Borlane basically doesn't wear any jewelry; and Xiaolan usually only has a non-mainstream skull pendant on her. On the contrary, Gu Shan often gets some fancy little things to decorate himself. Moreover, judging from the style of this bracelet, it is probably just a cheap item on the street that costs twenty copper coins each, which is in line with Gu Shan's current economic situation.

It must be returned to her.

Couldn't have made any more memories.

It caused my body to send out fear alarms.

"It's 12:15 now. That night owl Gu Shan should still be awake, right?"

Driven by fear, I immediately got out of bed, put on my indoor shoes and coat, and left the room.

Room 233.

Although I have never been to her room, her room number is subtle and easy to remember.

I quickly arrived outside her room and knocked on the door.

giggle.

However, my knock on the door did not get a response from her.

"Did she go out?"

With doubt in my mind, I tried to turn the door handle.

"Hmm?"

Surprisingly, I managed to turn the doorknob and open her door.

No one answered the door but it was unlocked?

Somehow, I had a bad feeling.

Anxious, I walked quickly into her room. The room was so small that I could see the whole thing at a glance. After seeing that there was no trace of her in the room, I breathed a sigh of relief and guessed that she might have just gone out for a while.

"Let's wait and see. If he went to take a shower or something, he should be back soon—"

I told myself this and sat down at her desk.

A novel on her desk caught my eye.

Although I am not interested in novels, the story of this novel left a deep impression on me. The liar in the story is almost a portrayal of me. The difference is that I didn't know her feelings from beginning to end, or that she had loved me, or that she had always treated me as a friend, or that there were many possibilities between us, but at that time I made an irreversible decision.

Salom, I miss you. Where are you now? Are you happy with your husband?

Or has your story completely come to an end?

If your story ends, what about me?

How could I, who was left behind by you, end up like that?

If I hadn't fallen in love with you, then perhaps I wouldn't be the person I am now who I don't even recognize. In that midsummer, you ended your life so abruptly, and I, carrying the memory of you, drowsily watched the autumn leaves and winter snow of Mopolis three times, but...

You still haven't returned all the little things I lent you.

And where should I return all that you have lent me?

If I could have been a little more selfish at that time, could the two stories that belonged to us become the same again?

At this moment, tears wanted to blur her vision, but they still couldn't flow out. Her heart had already let it go, but her body still remembered everything about her. How far must a person go before he can forget what kind of path he has walked with whom?

I owe her an apology for my whole life, but to whom can I tell it now?

"Senior Annie? Why are you in my room?"

As I recalled, the voice of the owner of the room appeared in my ears.

I looked back and saw the playful little girl holding a big bag of food and looking at me curiously.

"Nothing, I just found something in the room and wanted to ask if it's yours."

I smiled and let the bracelet hang halfway in the air.

When Gu Shan saw the bracelet, she was immediately surprised. She put down the paper bag in her arms and took back her lost property. "Thank you, Senior Annie. This is indeed my bracelet. Although it is just an ordinary street item, I really like it! When I found it missing that day, I spent the whole morning looking for it!"

"It's good to be able to find the lost things."

Seeing the older girl's cheerful smile, my unwillingness to be lonely started to stir again, and fear immediately spread to my heart: "It's getting late. You have an early shift tomorrow, so I won't disturb your rest."

After saying that, I wanted to pull away.

However, Gu Shan held my hand.

She looked up at me expectantly and said cheerfully, "Senior, I just bought some midnight snacks. There's a lot of bread. If it's convenient, can you stay and chat with me? You know, it's boring to eat midnight snacks alone."

If I rejected her at this time, it would be a bit unfriendly.

"Okay, I'll have a cup of coffee with you."

"Thank you, Senior Annie."

When she heard me nod and agree to stay, she immediately smiled as brightly as a flower, quickly arranged a seat for me, and found a cup and instant three-in-one coffee powder from the locker, and made me a cup of hot coffee very efficiently.

"Sorry, we only have some unknown brand of coffee in the dorm, so the taste might be a little off."

"No, I've had this brand before, and I don't think it tastes bad."

After receiving the coffee from Gushan, I said polite words in a relaxed manner, but I felt bitter in my heart. In fact, I am a very picky person. Things that taste bad will cause more unpleasant experiences to my taste buds than ordinary people. In my mind, this three-in-one coffee powder is almost equivalent to being more unpalatable than water...

I don't know why, but Gu Shan seemed a little unnatural in front of me tonight. She didn't open up and talk to me as easily as she did in the past. Instead, she had some inexplicable hesitation, which led to a strange silence between us.

As a result, when I was worrying about how to finish the coffee in the cup politely, Gu Shan, like an innocent little boy, broke the ice of silence between us: "Um, Annie-senpai, we haven't seen each other recently..."

"Yes, our working hours just happen to be different," I said.

At that moment, I suddenly realized that I seemed to have said something wrong, and reminded her of something -

Just in line with my premonition, Gu Shan's eyes immediately lit up with excitement: "Then I will change my working hours to the afternoon shift tomorrow! Then I can accompany you every morning from now on!"

"Well, you are still young, and staying up late every day is not a good habit." I quickly advised.

"It doesn't matter. I always go to bed at 1 pm even if I work the early shift."

There is no doubt that Gu Shan is determined to change her working hours to afternoon to evening. If she succeeds in this, doesn't it mean that I will have to face her enthusiasm every morning?

don't want……

very scary……

Why could she force her way into my life so directly?

【Shut up. 】

Why can she always smile so innocently?

【Shut up. 】

Why do I have to endure such fear and keep forcing myself to contact the source of my fear?

【Shut up. 】

"Gu Shan, it's not that I hate you, but if possible, I hope the frequency of our contact can be less."

In the end, I still couldn't overcome the fear in my heart and said those harsh words that shouldn't have been said.

Once again, I went against my own conscience and hurt the people I loved.

However, Gu Shan gave me a heartwarming smile instead.

She handed me a piece of bread.

She whispered, "Senior, be brave."

"Senior, I believe this is definitely not what you really think."

She understood.

Understood by a human being?

The nausea started to build again.

My face must have become very ugly again──

Noticing my abnormality, Gu Shan adopted the cautious attitude of approaching wild animals. She put down the whole wheat bread that I ignored, put her small hand on the back of my hand, and tried to calm me down: "Senior Annie, when I was drunk last time, I discovered one thing, that is, any fear can be overcome with courage, so please cheer up."

"I……"

I don't know how to face this moment.

Fear, terror, suffocation, death...

My body strongly accused me.

The nauseous feeling swept through my stomach again, as if giving me a reason to escape and retreat.

"If it's that uncomfortable, no one would blame me even if I ran away."

There is an evil voice tempting me in my heart.

"Anne Princeton, you are guilty, you betrayer!"

There was an angry voice roaring in my mind.

"You've probably guessed what I am, right?"

She laughed wildly at my pain.

Yes, I almost guessed it.
