It had been three days and three nights since that person had left the United States without a word. During those three days and three nights, the one thing she did most of the time was sit here and stare at that place in a daze.

He remembered a beautiful and touching legend about how a wife looked forward to her husband's return, only to turn into a lonely rock before it was even done.

What about her? If he continued to wait and watch like this, would he also end up turning into a watchstone?

No, that was just a legend, and it might not be true. Furthermore, even if it was true, it had nothing to do with her. Her experience would not be the same as that pitiful rumored character.

But why did she somewhat understand the despair and sadness of the legends?

Sorry, I love you...

However, just as she thought that he would teleport her safely after he arrived at that place, she couldn't find him even after waiting for a few hours. In the end, she had no choice but to ask Gao Zhenglin.

Gao Zhenglin told her that the situation was extremely urgent and that he needed to report to her as soon as he got off the plane.

She believed Gao Zhenglin's words and continued to patiently wait for Jia Yin.

In the past, she had always been afraid of radiation, so she had to shut down her phone in her sleep. These past few days, she had been afraid of missing his phone, so she didn't even dare to turn it off.

Every time her phone rang, her heart would jump. Unfortunately, none of the names that appeared on the screen were his. She was disappointed again and again!

Thoughts and concerns were like ants on a hot pan, corroding her at every moment. She couldn't endure it any longer, so she asked Gao Zhenglin about it this morning.

Gao Zhenglin's answer was the same as before. He also said that he was on a rather bad signal island and that it was not easy to contact the outside world.

The explanation was very reasonable and appropriate, but somehow, she was no longer so easily convinced. A strange feeling would always arise in her heart.

Was it really that bad over there? Was he really that busy? He was so busy that he couldn't even give her a call?

It seemed to her that if it had been her, she would have tried to get in touch with him, no matter how desperate the situation, no matter how bad the circumstances, because she knew she was in a hurry to wait.

In fact, she didn't ask for much. Just a simple sentence was enough to tell her that he was fine, to let her know that he loved her and thought of her as he always did!

Ji Chenxi, what are you doing? Do you still feel my longing? Then, can you give me a call and let me hear your voice, I am here to wait day after day, the days are really difficult, I don't know if will go crazy!

With her head lowered between her knees, Gu Rou shouted out soundlessly. Her tears flowed down her cheeks like a stream.

After an unknown period of time, soft footsteps came from the mournful air. He Tao entered and looked at the petite figure curled up on the floating window.

However, he understood and understood it clearly. According to the information that Boss Gao had gathered, Jian Yingying had really been killed, and was not kidnapped by the enemy. Instead, she had fallen into the crocodile pond, with not even her corpse remaining.

Every day, she would be trapped in pain, grief, and regret. She would refuse to enter the house Jian Yingying had stayed in, and even shut herself away from the outside world.

He actually knew all about Gu Rou's sadness, loneliness, and longing. However, he did not dare to tell her the truth of the matter, not only because he feared that Ji Chenxi and the others would not allow it, he himself did not want to bring her any pain or suffering.

He had been ordered to protect Jian Yingying for a few years. Even though he couldn't bear to see Jian Yingying do anything, he couldn't deny that Jian Yingying was an extremely powerful woman. Furthermore, he had heard that Jian Yingying had a deep relationship with the Boss Ji.

In those years, Jian Yingying had done a lot of things for the Boss Ji, and the Boss Ji was grateful to her, and doted on her a lot.

Therefore, when something suddenly happened to Jian Yingying this time, it was actually to help Boss Ji out.

It was fine that Jian Yingying was alive, but she was dead now. For the trial of Boss Ji and Gu Rou, it was really not easy to get there!

He wasn't worried about waiting too long, she was worried that Gu Rou would wait for the outcome that she completely could not anticipate or defend against, the result that would push her into the abyss.

I hope he's being a scaredy cat. The heavens are merciful, don't be like this!

Taking a deep breath, He Tao suppressed his thoughts, picked up the things in his hands and continued walking towards Gu Rou, then called for her softly.

After a long while, Gu Rou slowly raised her head, she looked at the food on the table and asked blankly: "Have you eaten yet again?"

Her beautiful face was at a loss, like a naive child. When He Tao saw this, he couldn't help but feel his heart ache.

He advised her, no matter how uncomfortable she was, no matter how much she missed him, she must take care of herself. Otherwise, when Boss Ji returned, and saw her haggard and hungry look, wouldn't that mean that she had given Boss Ji a fright and worried about him?

When she finished listening, she was willing to eat as well, and she no longer resisted each time after that. He could see that she had a bad appetite, but she kept trying to eat because she didn't want to drag down the person she loved.

That was why he said that, how could such a well-behaved, sensible, and understanding girl bear to see her sad? He swore to himself that no matter what the situation was, even if Boss Ji decided to ignore him because of his inner demons, he would think of ways to get rid of those obstacles and love them as if it was the first thing he had done.

In one meal, Gu Rou ate for almost half an hour. Suddenly, she told He Tao that she wanted to go for a walk.

He Tao also felt that it was good to be like this, at least it would be able to distract her attention.

Thus, the arrangements were made very straightforwardly.

The wind was blowing strongly outside, but it was also very easy to dispel one's thoughts, because of the past few days of depression, Gu Rou's face looked pale, she pulled on her clothes and slowly walked into the night.

He Tao accompanied her the entire time, his gaze following her closely as he guarded her with extreme caution.

As he was walking, a melodious voice suddenly came from the quiet night. A man walked past, and his phone rang. It was Zhang Xueyi's line, "Wait for my heart to ache".

Gu Rou couldn't help but stop her steps, and her eyebrows that had finally relaxed a little suddenly tightened again.

The man who passed by had already walked far away, the phone bell slowly faded, but Gu Rou seemed to still be able to hear the singing clearly. It was a low and somber melody, each word filled with sorrow and sadness.

Not long later, Gu Rou covered her face with her hands and started sipping.

He Tao had also heard this song before, and knew that she was hurt by the scene and had thought of Ji Chenxi, so he hurriedly comforted her. He even took out the handkerchief he had prepared beforehand and passed it to her.

Gu Rou took it, sniffed and wiped away his tears, but they quickly flowed out again. Only after wiping a few more times did she finally calm down, and she continued to walk forward.
