Such pain was something he had never endured before.
Neither the agony of striving to stand as a child nor the painful rehabilitation after the car accident amounted to one percent of what he was experiencing now.
Mo Ran knew he was in pain, but she still had to be cruel and insist he keep going.
"You must hold on, you must!" She didn’t know what else to say, only that she had to keep telling him to persevere.
Seeing him in this state, her heart ached more than anyone else’s.
Gu Yixuan had always been lofty, distinguished, never before in such a disheveled state; his current condition made her heartbreak.
"Gu Yixuan, do you remember that time we went shopping together? I was pregnant and almost got hit by a car. It was a passerby who saved me.
You saw us together and beat him up bad. I told you to apologize, but you were so arrogant, not only did you refuse to apologize, but you also used your status to oppress him.
I said you didn’t know how to respect others, and you said that’s just the way you were.
You know, at that time, you were truly arrogant and dismissive of others. I know that in your world, there is no fairness or equality. With the capital to look down on others, you would never lower your status.
I actually didn’t like you that way, but now I want to tell you, I like you like that, very much. That version of you could overcome anything, stand above everyone; I want you to always be on top, never defeated by anything.
Whether you’re dismissive or arrogant, whatever it is, I don’t care, I just want you to break free from Black Angel, to be looked up to as you once were.
Gu Yixuan, I beg you, even if it’s for my sake, you have to hang in there." Find the newest release on novel※fire.net
The man listened to her plea, droplets falling onto the carpet, unsure if they were his sweat or his tears.
"Ranran..." Gu Yixuan looked down, his expression unseen, "I promise you, for you, I will get through this."
Mo Ran laughed with excitement, "I believe in you, I really do!"
Gu Yixuan gave a faint smile, "You should stay away from me for a while. I might be a little tired, I need to sleep alone for a bit."
He propped himself up, and Mo Ran let go, staring intently at him without blinking.
Gu Yixuan curled up his whole body, his hands clutching his knees, head buried in his legs, closing his eyes to endure waves of pain.
Long before he couldn’t take it anymore, his vision had darkened, and he could see nothing at all.
