The Lie Becomes the Truth

Song Ci smiled and hugged him. She leaned into his arms, feeling the strength he gave her.

Lu Gan sent her to the airport. As he watched her leave, he made up his mind.

Song Ci had not left the country since she transmigrated through the books. Now that she was suddenly overseas, she could not help but be curious.

Chu Yi and Shi Mingyu were as well as it was their first time abroad.

!!

When Qian Wu saw this, he brought them to play for the entire afternoon. They only went back past 10 p.m.

Even though Song Ci drank a low-alcohol cocktail, she could not hold her liquor. As she lay on the bed, she thought of Lu Gan in a daze. She wondered what he was doing. Was he thinking about her? She missed Lu Gan very much. Vaguely seeing Lu Gan’s shadow, she reached out to grab him but did not manage to catch him.

Although Song Ci mumbled to him not to run, he managed to escape from her grasp. She anxiously tried to grab it again, but just as she was doing so, she heard her phone ring. She was busy catching Lu Gan, who was playing hide-and-seek with her and did not pick up. However, her phone kept ringing.

Song Ci snorted discontentedly at Lu Gan, who refused to be caught by her. She decided to ignore him and turned to pick up the phone. Her voice muffled as she spoke, “Who is it?”

“Are you back yet?” Lu Gan asked.

“Yes.” Song Ci heard a familiar voice. “You’re Lu Gan.”

“What’s wrong?” Lu Gan asked nicely.

“He’s gone.” Song Ci said in a low voice. Lu Gan had disappeared from her sight. He was clearly there just a moment ago, so how did he suddenly disappear? Song Ci was a little sad, but she heard Lu Gan’s voice again. “What’s gone?”

Song Ci looked at the phone in her hand in a daze. It turned out he had run into the phone. “I caught him,” Song Ci said with a smile as she held the phone.

Lu Gan listened to her nonsensical words and asked, “Did you drink?”

“Yep.” Song Ci replied. “It was sweet and delicious.”

Lu Gan massaged his temples but did not say anything else. “Go to bed early, then. Have a good rest.”

“Okay,” Song Ci sounded obedient. However, she did not end the call.

Lu Gan did not rush her. He quietly enjoyed the moment of silence. After a long time, he heard Song Ci say unhappily, “He’s gone again.”

“Where did you go this time?” Lu Gan could not help but laugh. Fortunately, he did not hang up the phone.

“I’m still here.” When Song Ci heard his voice, she became happy again. She lay on the bed, holding her phone as if she was hugging Lu Gan. She was in a daze. “I missed you so much.”

“I missed you too,” said Lu Gan.

“Why did you miss me?” Song Ci asked with her eyes closed.

“Me? Why did you miss me?” Lu Gan asked.

“It’s because I like you, of course.” Song Ci did not hesitate. After saying that, she chuckled and raised her phone, shouting, “I like you.”

The flower in Lu Gan’s heart bloomed with a bang. The moon fell into the water and rippled. “You like me that much?”

Song Ci hummed softly as if she was hiding a secret deep in her heart. “Actually, I didn’t like you that much in the past. I told you a lie a thousand times, and it became the truth. I always said that I like you and have a crush on you. I said it a thousand times as if I really had a crush on you for a long time.” Song Ci lay on the bed, her thoughts in a mess. She had long forgotten when she had fallen in love with Lu Gan.

Was it because she thought he was extremely handsome the first time she saw him? Perhaps it was the first time she had fallen asleep in his arms? Or was it the first day they slept together, and he deliberately leaned close to her ear to tease her? Or even when he was clearly physically unwell, he was still willing to travel thousands of miles to the production team to see her? Of course, she never had a crush on Lu Gan. However, she said it so many times, over and over again, that it suddenly felt as if she really had a crush on Lu Gan for fifteen years. She had walked through snow and time to come to him.

If only she had a crush on him for more than ten years. That way, her youth would be very exciting.

“I like you,” she said in a low voice. She liked him so much that she wanted to go back in time to primary school to see a young Lu Gan and put such a person in her heart.

In the past, Song Ci had said, “I have a crush on you”, to avoid the plot. Later on, she stopped saying this because she regretted not meeting him so early and not being able to have a crush on him. “If only I could have a crush on you for 15 years,” she muttered softly.
