Chapter 10: Don't Cry

"What do you need me to do? As long as you don't get angry, I'll do whatever you tell me."

Gu Shanshan asked urgently, her beautiful eyes filled with tears as she looked pitifully at Gong Ye.

"I'm not doing anything, I'm just letting you choose to remember it yourself."

After Gong Ye finished speaking, he gently tapped Gu Shanshan's brow.

Gu Shanshan felt a splitting pain in her head, so much so that she curled up and rolled around on the bed, clutching her head in her hands.

"ah……"

It's unclear what Gong Ye did to Gu Shanshan, or if Gu Shanshan herself remembered something, but she let out a series of painful sounds.

Gong Ye looked away, refusing to gaze at the person suffering on the bed.

"Think about it carefully yourself."

After leaving behind these cold words, Gong Ye turned and left the master bedroom.

Gu Shanshan was left alone, crying in anguish.

In the living room.

Gong Ye sat on the sofa with a gloomy expression. The ashtray on the table was full of cigarette butts, and Gong Ye was holding an unfinished cigarette in his hand. The living room was filled with a strong and pungent smell of smoke.

Frightened by the oppressive atmosphere, 007 huddled in a corner of the balcony, hugging himself and trembling.

When Gong Ye came out, he didn't close the door to the master bedroom properly, and at this moment, the sound of crying could be clearly heard coming from the master bedroom.

Damn it!

After a long while, Gong Ye cursed angrily and forcefully stubbed out the cigarette he hadn't finished smoking in the ashtray.

While he was forcing Gu Shanshan, he was also torturing himself.

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, she got up and strode towards the master bedroom.

Clang!

After a loud bang, the door to the master bedroom was kicked open by Gong Ye.

Gong Ye walked to the bedside, picked Gu Shanshan up from the bed, and held her tightly in his arms.

"Stop crying!"

But Gu Shanshan seemed to remember something and cried so hard she almost stopped breathing.

Gong Ye originally intended to give Gu Shanshan a small punishment to make her realize her mistake.

But now, seeing Gu Shanshan crying like this, his already irritable mood became even more agitated.

"Hold......"

Gong Ye cursed irritably, sat on the bed, and pulled Gu Shanshan up to sit in his lap.

He reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of Gu Shanshan's eyes.

But Gu Shanshan's tears fell like pearls from a broken string; the more she wiped them away, the more they fell.

His brow furrowed deeper as he shouted angrily, "I told you to stop crying!"

But Gu Shanshan seemed not to hear Gong Ye's voice and cried even harder.

Gong Ye had no choice but to regret his earlier harsh attitude towards Gu Shanshan.

It was just that it reminded Gu Shanshan of some past memories; she hadn't even remembered everything yet, and it made her cry like this.

Gong Ye was truly irritable.

He would rather have a big fight with Gu Shanshan than see her cry.

Every time he saw Gu Shanshan cry, his heart ached as if it were being cut by a knife.

Finally, unable to resist, he bent down, cupped Gu Shanshan's small face, and lowered his head to kiss Gu Shanshan's eyebrows and eyes, and kiss Gu Shanshan's nose.

He kissed away all the tears from Gu Shanshan's eyes, and Gong Ye felt even more depressed and bitter.

"Sweetie, don't cry. I was wrong, okay? I shouldn't have yelled at you just now. It was my fault. Don't cry, sweetie..."

Gong Ye apologized to Gu Shanshan in a low voice, word by word.

Where was the arrogant demeanor he had shown in front of Gu Shanshan before? His tone was now incredibly gentle and doting.

No matter how softly Gong Ye spoke to her, Gu Shanshan remained immersed in her own world, crying uncontrollably.

Gong Ye finally managed to coax her until her face turned extremely ugly.

He wanted to vent his anger, but he couldn't bring himself to do it to Gu Shanshan, who was crying.

She couldn't help but regret her momentary anger; she shouldn't have opened the gap in Gu Shanshan's previously sealed memories.

Judging from Gu Shanshan's current state, it's unclear what she's been thinking about that's causing her to cry like this.

Gong Ye frowned.

There was nothing he could do but reach out and pull out a glass of milk and two pills out of thin air.

Crush the medicine into powder on your fingertips and drop the powder into a glass of milk.

Gong Ye shook the cup to mix the powder evenly.

Then, he pinched Gu Shanshan's chin and made her look up. "Shanshan, be good, don't cry. Drink it and then go to sleep."

Gu Shanshan bit her lower lip tightly, her beautiful eyes red and swollen from crying, with glistening tears clinging to her long eyelashes.

"Waaah..."

Biting her lip, she looked at Gong Ye with teary eyes, and all she could do was cry.

Its mouth was tightly shut, showing no intention of drinking the milk.

Despite his anger, Gong Ye frowned and took a sip of milk.

He leaned down directly, grabbed Gu Shanshan's chin with one hand, and forced him to open his jaw. Then he pressed his lips to Gu Shanshan's lips.

He passed the milk from his mouth over.

Gu Shanshan refused to drink the milk, so Gong Ye used this method to feed her all the milk in the cup, spoonful by spoonful.

He warned in a hoarse whisper, "You little bastard, I'll let you off this time."

"Hmm..."

Gu Shanshan let out a sob, burying her face in Gong Ye's arms and weeping softly.

A dozen minutes later, perhaps the medicine that Gong Ye fed Gu Shanshan took effect, Gu Shanshan's sobs became less and less loud.

Finally, it disappeared.

Gong Ye gently pulled the person out of his arms a little, and saw that Gu Shanshan's eyes were tightly closed, her eyelids red and swollen pitifully.

I've already fallen asleep.

His lips were red and swollen from biting them himself.

Gong Ye sighed, conjured a warm handkerchief, and gently wiped away Gu Shanshan's tears.

After doing all this, it was already 3 a.m.

Gong Ye lifted the covers, hugged Gu Shanshan, lay down, and closed his eyes.

Outside the balcony.

007 heard the noise inside stop and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With a whoosh, it flew back to its nest.

......

the next day.

Gu Shanshan finally woke up slowly at ten o'clock in the morning.

As soon as I opened my eyes, my first instinct was to touch the spot next to me.

But my hand was ice-cold.

Gu Shanshan was startled awake and sat up abruptly, pulling back the covers to take a look.

He was alone in bed; Gong Ye had long since disappeared.

"Gong Ye!"

Gu Shanshan got out of bed with a pale face, her steps unsteady and weak, and she almost fell several times.

But when the door opened, only 007 was eating fruit at the dining table; Gong Ye was nowhere to be found.

"Where's Gong Ye?!"

Gu Shanshan asked 007 urgently.

“Young Master Shanshan, you remember now, don’t you? Once you remember, you know that 007 is just a pet bird and has no right to know where Mr. Gong is.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Shanshan staggered.

If I hadn't missed the chair next to me, I probably would have fallen to the ground.

"Has Gong Ye... left?"

"He's... angry with me, isn't he...?"

Gu Shanshan's voice was broken and pitiful.

Last night, Gong Ye forcibly unlocked the memories he had sealed away, and he remembered everything that had happened.

I was deeply shocked.

He received too many fragments of memories, many of which were about his past love-hate relationship with Gong Ye.

He couldn't control his emotions last night and cried so much that his eyelids are still red.

"Gong Ye..."

Gu Shanshan stared blankly at the empty living room, her eyes filled with sorrow.

Her eyes were red, as if she was about to cry at any moment.

Unfortunately, no matter how many times he shouted, no one would answer him at that moment.

Meanwhile, in a room not far from Gu Shanshan, on the floor above her.

Gong Ye sat on the sofa with a gloomy expression, his legs crossed, a tablet resting on his knees.

The tablet clearly showed everything happening in Gu Shanshan's room.

Seeing that Gu Shanshan came looking for him as soon as she woke up, Gong Ye's gloomy expression softened a bit.

But then he saw Gu Shanshan walking barefoot on the floor, and Gong Ye's expression changed from sunny to cloudy.

Although there was a long-haired blanket on the floor, Gong Ye was worried that Gu Shanshan would catch a cold.

After all these years, Gu Shanshan's health has never been very good.

Gong Ye gave 007 an order to remind Gu Shanshan to put on her shoes.

"007 received it," he immediately said to Gu Shanshan.

"Young Master Shanshan, it's not good for you to walk barefoot on the ground. For your health, please put on some shoes."

As he spoke, 007 flew over and brought the shoes, placing them beside Gu Shanshan's feet.

"Thanks."

Gu Shanshan thanked him in a daze, numbly lifting her foot and stepping into her shoe.

The shoes are lined with fine fleece, making them warm and cozy as soon as you step inside.

But Gu Shanshan felt her heart was ice-cold, without any warmth.

upstairs.

Gong Ye's expression improved considerably after seeing that Gu Shanshan had put on her shoes.

But inwardly, he scoffed with disdain.

Hmph, he can't even take care of himself. I was thinking of leaving him back then.

Although he can be a bit of a scoundrel when he gets crazy, he only acts like that towards Gu Shanshan in bed; off the bed, he'd do anything to please her.

"Gong Ye..."

Gu Shanshan lowered her head, murmuring Gong Ye's name, and sat down blankly in the chair.

"Young Master Shanshan, please eat something."

Ever since Gu Shanshan remembered everything, 007 changed his way of addressing her and stopped calling her "Master Host".

Despite the delicious food on the table, Gu Shanshan had no appetite whatsoever.

His mind was a complete mess, filled with thoughts of Gong Ye.

He remembered everything, and naturally he also remembered why he had sealed his memories to this so-called real world in the first place.

Clearly, based on Gong Ye's attitude towards her last night, Gu Shanshan knew that Gong Ye had misunderstood.

Unfortunately, Gong Ye didn't give him any chance to explain.

It just disappeared like that.

Suddenly remembering something, Gu Shanshan looked up and stared straight at 007.

"007, tell me honestly, where is Gong Ye!"
