When Gu Sheng arrived at the wedding venue, it was already empty—no bride, no groom, and all the guests had left.
However, the banquet tables and romantic wedding decorations that hadn’t been removed yet reminded Gu Sheng that he wasn’t in the wrong place; a wedding did happen here.
Gu Sheng stood there, looking at the banquet tables laden with food, as if struck on the head, feeling the world spinning around him.
He couldn’t believe it. He couldn’t believe that Gu Yao had gotten married.
"Impossible, impossible..."
All the strength seemed to drain from his body instantly; Gu Sheng’s legs grew weak, his mind turned dizzy, and his vision began to black out.
After this condition persisted for a few seconds, suddenly his vision went completely dark, and a buzzing noise began to ring in his ears.
In these few minutes, Gu Sheng experienced temporary blindness, temporary hearing loss; at that moment, the entire world seemed to collapse around him.
It turned out that when the brain receives an immense shock, when the body can’t handle it, its functions can really collapse.
It’s not an exaggeration to say people can die from being unable to withstand shock.
Gu Sheng’s vision was a pitch-black void, and apart from the buzzing in his ears, he couldn’t hear anything else. It was like he had fallen into an endless abyss or was drowning, his chest filled with seawater—nothing but pain, pure pain.
Deprived of his sight and hearing, he was like a small boat adrift in the ocean, directionless, unable to find his footing.
The nauseating dizziness grew increasingly intense; uncontrollably, Gu Sheng staggered backward, his posture utterly distressed, as if he might fall at any moment.
Instinctively, he reached out to try to hold onto something, and luckily, he managed to grasp hold of something.
However, the strength of just one hand was not enough to support his entire body, and the overwhelming dizziness left him unable to command his legs in his current blind state.
A sudden piercing pain radiated from his chest, forcing Gu Sheng, who was about to grasp the table with his other hand, to clutch his chest instead.
His fingers clutched tightly at his shirt as if he were trying to wring not the fabric but his own heart.
The pain, accompanied by a suffocating feeling akin to drowning, was unbearable for Gu Sheng—a heavy thud in his chest followed by mouthfuls of fresh blood spilling from his mouth.
His legs buckled, and he collapsed to the ground, sightless and deaf, so helpless and wretched.
The staff, who had been tidying up the venue, were startled upon seeing Gu Sheng’s condition.
They initially wanted to check what was happening but hesitated when they saw him continuously spewing blood.
Gu Li, arriving just in time, spotted Gu Sheng kneeling on the ground, clutching his chest, with blood trickling from his mouth, and was taken aback. He quickly rushed over.
Kneeling down, he attempted to help Gu Sheng up but failed after a couple of tries.
Seeing the blood ceaselessly flowing from Gu Sheng’s mouth, Gu Li was scared out of his wits.
"... Asheng, what’s happened to you?"
Gu Li reached out to hold Gu Sheng’s face, trying to see what was wrong with him.
He kept wiping the blood off Gu Sheng’s lips and chin with his hand. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novęlfire.net
After vomiting a large amount of blood, Gu Sheng’s hearing slowly cleared up, his eyes breaking free from the darkness, seeing some light even if it was indistinct.
"Asheng? What’s happened to you?"
Gu Sheng opened his mouth to speak, but as soon as he did, more blood flowed from his mouth.
