Neither of us slept that night, but both pretended to be asleep. It wasn't until the latter half of the night, when Gao Kan was certain that I wouldn't leave that she got up and went to the bathroom.
Gao Kan stayed inside for a long time, until I could no longer hold on and was about to fall asleep. Finally, he came out, laid down beside me again, and after tossing and turning for a while, shook my shoulders, and said: "Wife, she called me last night to pretend to be mute, and threatened me with little Mary. Mary was innocent, and I didn't want her to be hurt, so I pretended to agree, and created the illusion of a car accident. She tied Mary to a chair. Kidnapping, gun possession, libel. I've got the best lawyer.
"Sentencing?" I was deeply surprised to hear from Gao Kan that Han Youya would be sentenced to death.
"Yeah, it was reported on the news today."
"It even appeared on the news?" These past few days, Gao Kan had always emphasized for me not to interfere and not to worry. I thought that he and Han Youya would settle this privately, but never did I expect that his way of doing things would be even more ruthless than I imagined.
I almost forgot, what kind of person is Gao Kan.
As soon as the news was published, coupled with the sentencing, Han Youya's reputation could be considered to have been completely ruined.
"Yes." Gao Kan silently sighed, and continued in a sincere tone: "Wifey, there is really nothing that I can't bear to touch her, I just want to find a faster and more effective way to solve this problem. "Also, I didn't want you to get involved because I didn't want you to get hurt by the internet again. You've already suffered too much for my sake."
Although Gao Kan said it calmly, I know that it would be very difficult for him to make such a decision.
"Hubby, come over here and hug me." I hugged Gao Kan tightly and did not pursue the matter with Han Youya any further.
"Yes."
Gao Kan hugged me back, and when I fell asleep, he got up again. Then I saw him sitting on the balcony, smoking for half a night while facing the dark sky. He didn't go to the bathroom until the belly of the Eastern Fish had turned white.
I waited for Gao Kan for forty minutes, but he didn't come out. I woke up and went to the bathroom to find him.
Wearing pajamas and bathing in the sunken bath, Gao Kan lied on his back. I stood behind him for a long time, but he didn't move at all.
Thinking that Gao Kan had fallen asleep, he walked closer. Only then did he realize that his eyes were wide open, his right index finger was swiping across a shallow scar on his wrist, as if he was reminiscing about the past.
With someone.
The wound must have been there for a long time. The scars had formed a long time ago, but the scars that were as shallow as red lines could no longer be healed. They would accompany him for life.
As for the origin of the scar, I have never asked Gao Kan about it. From the looks of it, it probably has something to do with Han Youya.
This is a personal moment that belongs to him, and he has a knot in his heart. I can't pursue this matter to the end, I have to leave him with a private space.
Thinking of this, just as I was about to lift my leg to leave the bathroom, Gao Kan suddenly called out to me, "Wife, don't go."
"Yes, I'm here." I walked to the edge of the bath and squatted beside Gao Kan. I stretched out my hands, gently and gently embraced his neck, kissed his forehead and muttered to him, "My wife is here."
Gao Kan turned his body over in the water, stuck out his wet arms and hugged me. He rubbed against my face and said in a low voice that was close to begging, "Wife, I want you. Give me a chance, will you? "
When Gao Kan said this, I remembered that video. I felt disgust and immediately pushed him away, standing up.
"Wife, don't go, I'll be honest with you," Gao Kan lied on the edge of the bathtub as he raised his head and looked at me, half-squinting his eyes, his gaze filled with innocence.
Along with his hair, he was soaked all over. He looked like a wounded animal that was about to be saved from drowning, and although he knew his vicious nature, he could not bear to refuse.
"Go ahead." I nodded.
"Come closer to me, will you?" Gao Kan stretched out his hand to me.
"Yes." I stepped closer and took his hand.
Gao Kan kissed my hand, then began to speak.
In fact, I clearly knew in my heart that it was a trap when I went to save Han Youya that night on Little Gaze Island. When I was at sea, I had thought about going back, but when I thought about how much she had done for me, and how many times she had failed, I still walked into that trap.
"She was raped because of me, and I couldn't bear it. She shut herself up and refused to go back to sleep on the street, so she just sat there with me. Night after night, I'm not a stone-hearted person, so saying that I'm not moved is a lie. Zhou Jin is my brother and she is my big sister. So all these years, I had been indulging in her excessive actions and I just couldn't help but push her away. "
"When I walked into that room that night, I said to myself that this was the last time, but then she called me the other day and told me that she was going to kill herself, and I softened my heart, and although I did my best to get her off the operating table and out of the country, I was really confused at the time. Was my feelings for her also love? "I didn't want to be unfaithful to you, so during that time, many things combined. I think it's better for us to separate for the time being, because I don't want to be with you in such a state. It's not fair for you."
"Later on, after losing you and her for three years, I learned what true love is. Every night, I think about you, searching for your name on the newspaper website, watching every one of your TV shows, recalling every single detail of our time together, and the video of you completely blooming for me, the video of me loving each and every time I enter your body. They've filled up more than a thousand lonely nights …"
"The year before last, when you sent me the tickets for the play 'Red Rose and White Rose,' I knew what you meant, and I wanted to see you very much. I wanted to explain to you that in my life, there is no such thing as a white rose or a red rose, and I never married this unforgettable other one. Then, when I saw you and Guo Yunyan together at that performance of yours — — I think, he seemed to love you very much, not much less than me, and you were so relaxed and happy with him, completely different from me. Thus, I put that thought aside.
"Now that you know what happened afterwards, An Xin played a part with me. I want to take you back to my side step by step, in a way that you can accept, but not in such a scoundrelly way. "But, I didn't expect that you would be one step ahead of me."
"Recently, I have often seen our marriage certificate, and I feel that you really do belong to me. I am so happy, and sometimes I feel like that three years passed very quickly, like something that happened in the blink of an eye. You have come back, and you still love me, but sometimes I feel like I have died once, and have been reborn again. Wife, there's really only you in my heart now. "
Gao Kan's expression was a little perplexed, but as he said these words that he had never revealed to me before, they seemed to be a little difficult to speak of. In the beginning, his tone was a little hesitant and his voice was low, but gradually, he spoke even faster, and finally said to me with deep affection and determination: "Wife, I now know that this kind of love can only happen once in my life, and I do not want to miss it. The reason why I'm telling you all of this now is because I secretly want you to forgive me and accept me again. In the past few years, both of us have had a difficult time, and you know very well that only the two of us can make each other happy.
As it turns out, he really did hesitate between Han Youya and I. Thus, after using three years of time, he finally understood his own heart and firmly chose to send Han Youya to jail.
He hesitated for a night to let me know every word he could think of.
What reason could I have not forgiven him?
There is only one human life, and because the future is unknown, we all make mistakes, be they young or ignorant, or those twenty or thirty years old who think that they have already planned everything.
The important thing is that one can recognize one's mistakes and sincerely want to repent and make up for it.
After hearing what Gao Kan had said, I also felt relieved, as if a huge boulder that I had been holding back for a long time was finally taken away, thrown completely away, never to return back to my life again.
I used a towel to help Gao Kan wipe the water off his hair. Under Gao Kan's silent and expectant gaze, I said, "Hubby, let's have a child."
"... "Hmm?"
"We are cousins, and we are genetically speaking, the chance of having a child is 50 percent, but I can't bear the consequences. I want to reduce everything to zero risk. So, I've already thought about it. Let's go test tube babies, choose the best genes, and have a few healthy and smart babies. What do you think? "
Gao Kan was overjoyed: "Wife, have you already thought about it?"
"Mhmm, I've already booked an appointment at the hospital. It's Christmas Day, so all I need is your essence to enter the warehouse."
"Thank you, my wife!" Gao Kan jumped out of the bathtub excitedly with water all over his body and carried me up, spinning a few rounds in place while smiling like a 200kg child.
At this moment, I feel that love is really great, because a single sentence can make another person so happy and satisfied.
