Chapter 406: Su Ci Saved Her
Translator: _Min_ |
Gu Dai couldn’t believe it, but fragments of memory kept surfacing in her mind.
After the explosion, the cruise ship was engulfed in fierce flames, intertwining with thick, black smoke.
Clutching her chest in distress, Su Ci held her tightly, swearing with determination, “Daidai, I won’t let anything happen to you!”
He placed her on a lifeboat, then began to untie the rope.
Upon seeing Su Ci’s actions, Gu Dai asked anxiously, “Su Ci, what are you doing?”
Without waiting for her reaction, Su Ci pushed the lifeboat away with force, smiling gently as always, his eyes soft as he watched her drift away. “Daidai, the lifeboat can only carry one person. I want you to live.”
As soon as Su Ci finished speaking, a sudden gust of wind stirred up, and thick smoke enveloped the massive cruise ship, along with the smiling man.
Meng Zhi tenderly helped the weeping Gu Dai off the ground, “Daidai…”
Gu Dai’s gaze was vacant, “Su Ci died saving me. He knew the lifeboat could save him, but he gave the chance to me. Why was he so foolish, so selfless? He was so good to me, and I forgot him…”
Meng Zhi sighed softly, “Maybe Su Ci wanted you to forget him, to move on from the past and live a happy life.”
Gu Dai shook her head, “No, I don’t want to forget him!”
Meng Zhi said, “Su Ci’s grave is in the Su family cemetery. Let’s eat first, and then Su Ting can take you there.”
Gu Dai wiped the tears from her eyes and nodded lightly.
Meng Zhi opened the bedroom door, only to find Su Ting standing there.
Su Ting looked down, pressing his lips together, then finally said, “Daidai, let’s eat. I’ll take you to see big brother afterward.”
The food was delicious, but Gu Dai couldn’t taste anything. After mechanically finishing her meal, she changed into a long black dress and went to the Su family cemetery.
Standing before the tombstone, she gazed at the black-and-white photo of the young man smiling, tears streaming down her face.
She knelt down, gently touching the photo, her voice filled with sorrow, “I’m sorry I forgot you…”
With red eyes, she promised earnestly, “From now on, I’ll remember every detail of us, I won’t forget you again. I’ll always miss you.”
Gu Dai had many things to say to Su Ci before coming, but now, all she wanted was to quietly look at his photo and be with him.
Su Ting’s heart ached. Every time he faced Gu Dai, he was torn between revealing his brother’s existence and the fear of telling her.
Su Ci was always excellent, learning everything quickly, and a role model for him. He always looked up to his brother, who also protected him. But he never expected they would fall for the same girl.
When Su Ting thought of giving up, Su Ci met with an accident. Seeing Gu Dai again, he couldn’t control his feelings and wanted to be close to her.
He enjoyed Gu Dai’s care, but it felt like stolen moments.
Su Ting wanted to envy Su Ci for having Gu Dai’s warm and eager heart, but thinking of the bright young man, he couldn’t bring himself to do so.
Gu Dai looked at the photo for a long time, until dawn broke. She softly said, “I have to go to work now. After I finish, I’ll come back to see you.”
Meng Zhi was already waiting for them at the cemetery gate.
Gu Dai got into the car, softly speaking, “Let’s go, Third Brother. Take me to the company.”
Meng Zhi frowned slightly, disapproving, “You look pale and weak. You should rest at home first and put off work.”
Su Ting nodded in agreement, “Yes, and the hacker competition is tonight. You should conserve your energy.”
Gu Dai, seeing their insistence, reluctantly agreed, “Okay.”
Suddenly, a racing car sped towards them.
Meng Zhi’s eyes turned cold, his hands quickly maneuvering the car, masterfully drifting to avoid the racing car.
Gu Dai snapped back to reality and looked back at the speeding car, but it was too fast, leaving only a fleeting glimpse.
Meng Zhi exhaled in relief, his voice cold, “That racing car was no ordinary vehicle.. It looked like it was coming straight for us!”
