He used all his powers, practically turned the entire Capital City upside down, yet there was no sign of Gu Sheng.
He seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving nowhere to be found.
Gu Li raised his hand to take off his glasses, pressed the redness at the corners of his eyes, calmed his emotions, and put his glasses back on.
"Yaoyao is not dead, you have to live well, you all have to live well."
This sentence didn’t seem to be addressed to Shangguan Yu; it was more like a prayer to the heavens.
"I’ll take good care of her. Maybe you’ll never see each other again, but I promise you, she’ll live out her life peacefully and safely. Even if Asheng comes back in the future, I’ll never let him hurt Yaoyao again."
This was Gu Li’s promise to Shangguan Yu, and also his responsibility as the big brother.
Shangguan Yu lowered his eyes, with long lashes shadowing his eyelids, hiding the emotions in his eyes.
He remained silent for a long while, then said, "As long as she’s safe."
After Gu Li left, Jun Moyan came, and he was momentarily dazed upon seeing Shangguan Yu no longer lying idle but cooperating with the nurse and taking his medicine.
Shangguan Yu turned his head to look at him, and even smiled at him, then his gaze fell on the little kitten in his arms.
"Haven’t seen it for months, how come it hasn’t grown at all."
His voice was still the same as before, clean and soothing, making one instantly know this was a cheerful boy, like sunshine.
But he was ultimately not the same as before; the stars in his eyes were dimmed.
His pretense of being fine did not reassure anyone; it only pained them.
Wen Xiao’ai wrinkled her tiny pink nose, looked down on her little body.
This princess’s true form can only grow this big.
Feeling Jun Moyan’s gaze on her face, Shangguan Yu laughed and looked at him, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"...Are you okay now?"
To be honest, Shangguan Yu’s sudden change made him a bit scared.
"Brother Gu just came by, and he said she’s doing well." Shangguan Yu knew that if he didn’t explain it to Jun Moyan, he wouldn’t be at ease.
But even if he said it, it didn’t necessarily reassure Jun Moyan much.
Because Jun Moyan knew Shangguan Yu couldn’t let it go.
"I’m really fine." Seeing Jun Moyan still not at ease, Shangguan Yu tried harder to pretend everything was okay.
"Stop looking at me like that, don’t make me seem so pessimistic."
"Let me hold that little thing." He said, looking at the little kitten in Jun Moyan’s arms, unsure if he really wanted to hold it or just to change the topic.
Wen Xiao’ai instantly hid in Jun Moyan’s arms, burying her little face there, with her tiny paws clutching tightly to his clothes, shaking her little head like a rattle. Latest content publıshed on novel★fire.net
Wen Xiao’ai’s sly and cute demeanor eased Shangguan Yu’s heart a little at that moment.
"Let me hold." He directly looked at Jun Moyan, asking for it.
"It’s okay, this little thing isn’t heavy, I can hold it."
"You’re just pretending to worry about my injuries, being petty is the real reason." Shangguan Yu hit the nail on the head.
"..." Jun Moyan did not deny it.
"I’m hurt , can’t I hold this little thing to ease my mood?"
"If you really want to hold something, I’ll ask your adjutant to bring you a military dog."
At the top of Muqi Mountain, the fierce wind roared,
The chilling screams that could make one’s skin crawl burst through the darkness, echoing on the mountain top, lingering for a long time.
