Leaving should have felt reluctant and heavy, yet it was disrupted by the joining of Gu Sheng.
Now, Gu Yao felt nothing but anxiety, fear, and helplessness.
It was like having a time bomb next to her, making her sit on pins and needles; she couldn’t escape, nor was she allowed to.
She feared that she might truly anger him, because he might actually commit those terrible acts.
For Gu Sheng, there seemed to be nothing he dared not do.
Gu Yao sat helplessly in her seat, and the moment the plane took off, she really wanted to run back home, consequences be damned.
Was she really going to the United Kingdom with her older brother? To live alone with her older brother?
Gu Yao felt like she was going insane.
As the plane lifted off the ground and soared higher, Gu Yao’s heart sank deeper and deeper.
She could barely dare to imagine her life with Gu Sheng in the United Kingdom.
Of course, Gu Yao didn’t take Gu Sheng’s words "I will change" seriously, because that was simply impossible.
Gu Sheng turned his head, looking at Gu Yao, who was looking out of the plane at the sky, silent and not speaking, his expression slowly softening.
Yaoyao, trust me, I really will change.
I will try hard to become the older brother you depended on, the one you liked, because even I find myself disgusting now.
Gu Yao sat rigidly for almost an hour, and seeing that Gu Sheng remained quiet without saying a word, she slowly let her guard down.
Herself feeling slightly weary, she leaned back slightly.
Soon after, she fell asleep.
From the day Shangguan Yu was imprisoned, she hadn’t slept a wink.
Two days and nights, not a minute of sleep; she really was tired.
Even with a time bomb sitting next to her, she couldn’t resist the overwhelming drowsiness.
Gu Sheng watched Gu Yao as she slept, waiting awhile until she was deep asleep, then gently supported her cheek and chin, letting her head rest on his shoulder.
The heart that was dead seemed to revive at that moment.
It had been three years since her suicide until now, and he hadn’t lent his shoulder for her to lean on in three years, nor had she been as unguarded and close to him in three years.
After her revival, he never wanted her to return to the Capital City, hoping to take her and live abroad forever, but she was afraid of him.
No matter what he did, she was afraid of him, wanting to escape.
She cried over the phone to her eldest brother, asking him to take her home.
And since she had started liking Shangguan Yu again, he completely lost his mind.
In these two years, Gu Yao’s pursuit of Shangguan Yu drove him mad, his temper getting worse and his personality more and more paranoid, constantly thinking about taking Gu Yao away.
Finally, after all this time, the day had come.
Yaoyao was ultimately still his...
Once they left this place for the United Kingdom, without Shangguan Yu, everything would return to the way it was initially.
Thinking about the days he would spend with Gu Yao in the United Kingdom, and remembering the beautiful memories with only Yaoyao and himself before Shangguan Yu, a sincere smile spread across his lips.
It had been a long time since he had smiled genuinely...
Yaoyao, anyone in this world might leave you, but I won’t, never ever...

"As long as it can save her, no matter the consequences, I am willing to bear them."
