CH 2866

Seeing that she was panicking, Gu Xingze hugged her gently to calm her down and said nonchalantly, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here. It’s alright now…”

“…”

“It’s alright now, huh? Don’t be afraid…”

The two of them leaned against each other as they stood up. Unable to see, Yun Shishi had no sense of the direction and could only do her best to pull Gu Xingze’s arm over her shoulders, trying to support his entire weight.

Gu Xingze put his arm around her shoulders, thinking deep down how this foolish girl must have been trying to take his weight.

But she was also seriously injured.

He could not bear to do it. He really could not bear to put all his weight on her.

So he shifted his weight to the other side. With one arm around her and the other covering his own bleeding wound, they slowly made their way to the intersection.

Yun Shishi could not see. And because she could not see, she had no idea how pale the man had turned.

His face was drained of color and covered in cold sweat.

Especially his naturally rosy lips. They had lost all color from his excessive blood loss.

It was also because she could not see, she had no idea how tender his gaze was as he looked upon her.

The tenderness that flowed from every fiber of his being.

If only he could, he’d keep looking at her.

So that her face would be imprinted on every cell in his body.

If he could, he would stop time, so that he could quietly look at her, till he got sick and tired of her.

If he could, he would go back to the day they first met.

He would have held her tightly in his arms.

So that he could fill her entire heart even before that man appeared…

His lips suddenly trembled.

He looked at Yun Shishi’s side profile and saw her trying to tolerate the pain she was in. He could not bear to do it, he could not bear to let her go. In an instant, his eyes turned bloodshot and filled with tears.

“Shishi…”

“Yes…”

“Before I came… before I came… I thought of everything that I should say as parting words…”

He tried his best to widen his eyes and force back his tears. His Adam’s apple moved and his lips curled into a smile as he said, “I wanted to wish you happiness… I wanted to wish you happiness forever… but I selfishly thought that I might not be able to… be generous enough to give you my blessings…”

Her expression froze.

“How I wish you couldn’t live without me.”

“Xingze… ”

“I like you.”

Gu Xingze endured the pain and spoke in a voice as soft as the breeze, “I really like you so much… Cough…”

He tried to force a smile. “So much, so much…”

It was the first time in his life that he loved someone so deeply.

He was unwilling to accept this. He was unwilling to accept that, for the first time in his life he had given everything and exhausted all means to win a person, he ended up failing!

However, no matter how unwilling he was…

“I still hope that you will be happy.”

Gu Xingze muttered involuntarily.

Shishi, do you know?

I want to be generous and wish you happiness, but I also selfishly hope that you will never be happy without me. But ultimately, I will not be able to bear it if you ended up lonely!

She suddenly felt the weight collapse onto her shoulder.

Then it fell away, and she heard a heavy thud… the sound of a person falling to the ground.

“Xingze…!”

Yun Shishi burst out crying in fright. “Xingze, where are you?”

She immediately crouched down and fumbled around with her hands until she felt an arm. Following the arm, she crawled over to where he lay and took him into her embrace.
