Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 2561: Chapter 2555: You’re Just a Stranger

It’s not that Qin Xue had a bad life and he’s happy about it, but now his heart is very conflicted. He knows Qin Xue is special, and he wants to be good to her, wants her to treat him kindly; but they seem to clash, and every time they talk, it’s filled with gunpowder.

This is what makes Gu Beihan unhappy. Clearly, he saw her being so gentle to that man named Chu Molin the other day, but when she’s with him, she becomes explosive. What has he done to deserve this?

Gu Beihan, not understanding the situation, completely misses one thing—that Chu Molin is Qin Xue’s husband, they’re family, while he, in her eyes, is just a stranger she’s seen a few times; how can this be the same, don’t kid yourself.

"Can I ask you a question? Do you have a problem with me? Why do you always give me the cold shoulder every time we meet?" Gu Beihan thinks every time he sees Qin Xue, it hasn’t been good.

It’s either she doesn’t see him or looks at him with disdain, which really saddens him.

"You’re just a stranger, how else should I treat you other than this? Do you expect me to treat you like a friend? Do you think that’s possible?" If Qin Xue really treated him that way, she’d be called crazy for sure; who treats someone they’re not familiar with like close friends or family?

If she really did that, people would say she’s neurotic.

Moreover, she always has a sense of guard with people she’s not familiar with, unless her sixth sense kicks in.

Now she has Xue Ling, with its help, nothing will happen to her no matter what.

Unknowingly to Qin Xue, she has a faithful guardian silently protecting her.

She’s always regarded Xue Ling as her family, never as a bodyguard, which is a special kind of affection in their hearts.

Now Gu Beihan has not shown any threat to her, so Qin Xue just considers him as a stranger. Otherwise, he would have been her enemy, how could she be nice to him?

"You speak so heartlessly, aren’t you afraid this would hurt my feelings? No matter what, you’re the one who saved me, yet you just treat me like a stranger. I thought after seeing each other so many times, I’d at least be familiar to you, but the answer really chills my heart." Gu Beihan pretends to clutch his chest, though it’s for Qin Xue to see, he is genuinely sad.

Who would have thought he’d have a day like this? Clearly, he’s quite popular with women, but in the end, he realizes not every woman is superficial, especially Qin Xue; she values character.

"Sad? You?" Qin Xue doesn’t believe it at all. If someone like him, a smiling tiger, could feel sad, she really thinks no one in this world would ever be upset.

Qin Xue doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a heart, quite the opposite; perhaps because their hearts were deeply hurt, now they’ve hardened, becoming heartless. So to get hurt again, it’s really unlikely.

For someone like Gu Beihan, she doesn’t believe it’s because of his situation with The Gus; although subjected to cold violence, there’s no other harm. He’s grown up and strong now, even mightier than The Gus, but he has not helped The Gus, presumably because his heart is hard. It’s really unlikely such a person would feel sad.
