53、Chapter 52: Girlfriend But w

　　But what is love?

　　但是什么是爱情？

　　In her twenties, she had never truly experienced love. Perhaps love was akin to her connection with him, a mutual attraction and fondness.

　　二十几岁的她还从未尝地爱情的滋味，也许爱情就如她和他两人之间这样，相互吸引，相互有好感。

　　However, their relationship was not quite normal, not the ideal way to start a love story.

　　可是他们之间的这段关系不太正常，不是完美的打开爱情的正确方式。

　　When faced with significant choices in life, one must make the right choices. While one may make minor mistakes due to a lack of knowledge, only a few pivotal steps truly matter in a person's life. Thus, she is determined to guarantee that these essential paths are walked flawlessly, without any room for error.

　　人生在重在选择面前一定不能出错，人可以因为无知犯小错，可是一个人的人生最重要的也就那几步，所以无论如何她都要保证这几步重要的路要走正确，绝对不可以犯错。

　　Why does she say this?

　　为什么这么说呢？

　　Gu Xiang was acutely aware of her identity, background, and the circumstances surrounding her, even if they were to become a couple in the future. The gap between the two families is quite huge. Does love really conquer all?

　　顾湘很清楚自己是谁，是个什么样的身份，有个什么样的出生。即便他们俩真的成为了男女朋友。可是他们两家相差的差距实在太大。爱情真的战胜一切吗？

　　Most importantly, she believed that she couldn't be sure if what they had between them was love. She felt that he had fallen in love with the version of herself that he imagined, rather than her true self, even though he was kind, caring, and affectionate towards her. However, she couldn't shake off the nagging feeling that something was amiss, and even when he confessed to her deep love, she remained indifferent.

　　最重要的是，她认为她不能确定他们之间是爱情，她觉得她爱上的是他想象中的自己，而非现实中的自己，哪怕他对自己温柔体贴，爱护有加。可是她总觉得好像有些不对劲，所以哪怕面对着他的深情告白，她也只能表现的无动于衷。

　　She couldn't alter her reserved and distant nature at her lowest point.

　　低谷中的她，仍然改变不了自己冰山美人的本质。

　　Despite the failure of his confession, he didn't lose hope. On the contrary, he became more determined.

　　面对告白的失败，他并没有气馁。反而越战越勇。

　　His ambition was high while she remained grounded.

　　他雄心万丈，她人间清醒。

　　He overflowed with affection while she maintained her independence.

　　他脉脉含情，她进退自由。

　　He exhibited tenderness in his demeanor while she examined her inner self.

　　他举止温柔，她审视内心。

　　Love shone in his eyes while she hesitated.

　　他眼露爱意，她徘徊不前。

　　He pursued her passionately, and although she expressed her thoughts clearly, she didn't reject his advances. Perhaps deep down, she wanted to give herself a chance and give him a possibility as well.

　　他火热的追求着她，她虽然清醒的表达了自己的想法，但是并没有拒绝他的靠近，也许她的内心深处是想给自己一个机会，也给对方一个机会。

　　Gu Xiang admired those who built up their own business from scratch and achieved success through their own efforts, and he was one of them. So, it was difficult for her to turn down the pursuit of such a successful person.

　　顾湘是那种特别敬佩白手起家一切靠自己的人，而他就是这类人，所以面对这样的成功人士的追求，她其实是很难拒绝的。

　　However, the inability to refuse did not equate to acceptance. She lived with clarity, perceiving her surroundings vividly, causing their relationship to remain ambiguous.

　　无法拒绝并不代表接受，她活得太通透，对周围事物看得太清楚，所以他们这段关系最终只停留在朦朦胧胧中。

　　They resembled a couple, yet not entirely so. However, in this small village where gossip thrived, especially about renowned individuals like Yuan Suqing, all eyes were fixed on him, scrutinizing his every move.

　　像男女朋友，又不像男女朋友，但是在这小村庄里，村里人都爱八卦，更何况袁素清是一个声名赫赫之人，他的一举一动都凝聚了所有人的注意力。
