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 Alice's 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. "The concept of 'like' is too abstract. Take me as an example. I fell in love with him the moment I saw him. I can't remember what I liked about him, but I vaguely remember being deeply infatuated by his youthful frivolity and high-spiritedness."

She liked him. It happened in just the space of a glance. She didn't understand why she was so rational when it came to other people's relationships, but once she fell in love, she lost her senses.

"Back when Gong Jie was infected with the Aymanla virus, I used myself as an experimental subject to save him because I 'liked' him. I couldn't 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 didn't have any expectations. I even thought that if the experiment should fail, at least he wouldn't be lonely with me by his side."

"…"

"But 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."

Alice smiled cunningly. "Hmph, at least I feel better about it. Otherwise, I'd be devastated."

In Alice's 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 wouldn't 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. "Xiao Jie really likes you." There was an indescribable envy in her tone. "I've never seen him smile like that at anyone."

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 family's 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.

"He looks so murderous."

"Indeed, he has a murderous aura. I've always felt that he's a very heartless and cold-blooded person. I remember there's a saying that if a person's murderous aura is very strong, it's likely he'll have a hard life. Even the King of Hell doesn't dare to take him in. We made jokes about him living a long life, haha!" Alice laughed and let out a long sigh of relief. "But now, Xiao Jie has changed significantly. Other than Shishi, you've also changed him significantly."

The actor sighed. "Me? What… capabilities would I have to do this?!"

What capabilities would he have!
