A pair of tear-filled eyes remained fixed on Shangguan Yu, unwilling to miss even a single glance. Chapters fırst released on novel-fire.net
She had never imagined she could look at him so openly, only now when he was injured and unconscious.
Gu Yao couldn’t help but reach her hand towards his face, but her hand trembled uncontrollably. The closer it got to his face, the more it shook.
Finally, her hand rested on his face, and Gu Yao’s eyes were filled with tenderness. To be this close to him was something she never dared to dream of.
Gu Yao’s face was covered in tears, and beneath her mask, her face was full of restraint and sadness.
How did he get so thin?
He was perfectly fine the last time I saw him before going abroad. It’s been less than a month, and he’s lost so much weight.
Shangguan Yu, tell me, in my past life, did I commit evil deeds or good ones? Meeting you, was it my fortune or misfortune?
I don’t know if I’m fortunate or unfortunate, but you must have sinned in your past life. Otherwise, how could you have met me in this life?
Gu Yao laughed bitterly to herself.
She withdrew her hand from his face and turned her gaze to his hand. After a while, she couldn’t help but place her hand in his, gently holding it.
Shangguan Yu, I snuck back to see you. I’ve already booked my return flight ticket, so you don’t need to worry about me bothering you in the future.
You’ll never know how much determination it took for me to go abroad that time and to return this time, just like you’ll never know how much I like you.
Since there’s no result, I won’t spend any more time and energy on you. After all, looking pathetic is really unattractive, and I don’t want to make myself miserable because of you, nor do I want to make my second brother sad again.
This return is just to say a final goodbye. I’ve liked you for two years, though I haven’t had a happy day, nor have I ever received a proper look from you, I have never regretted it. Who made me like you?
Gu Yao took a deep breath, intending to ease her emotions, but her tears flowed even more fiercely.
She couldn’t even say goodbye in person.
Even though she had made up her mind, she was reluctant to withdraw her hand from Shangguan Yu’s, clinging to that trace of warmth.
Because she knew that this time leaving was truly a farewell, even if they met again, neither would acknowledge the other.
Gu Yao finally took a deep look at Shangguan Yu, wanting to remember his face firmly.
But when she resolutely decided to get up and leave, the hand she had placed on Shangguan Yu’s was suddenly gripped tightly by him.
Gu Yao was startled, thinking he was about to wake up.
A weak murmur from Shangguan Yu followed: "Yaoyao..."
Gu Yao froze, suddenly looking up at Shangguan Yu, not quite hearing what he had just said.
No, she actually heard clearly, but didn’t dare to be sure.
Just now, it seemed like he was calling...
Another sound rose, in the quiet ward, the murmur was exceptionally clear and bright, piercing straight into Gu Yao’s heart.
"Yaoyao, don’t go... don’t go."
Gu Yao stared blankly at Shangguan Yu, at this moment having no idea what to do, just watching him, listening to the repeated call of Yaoyao from his mouth.
Gu Yao’s eyes were filled with disbelief. She lowered her gaze to look at her hand tightly held by Shangguan Yu, unable to believe what she was hearing.
He was calling Yaoyao.
Who’s he asking not to leave, was it her?
Even before Gu Yao could confirm, there was a commotion at the door of the ward.
