(Main story concluded) Shi Nianzhi was brought back from a small mountain village by Lu Jiunian when he was 19.
That man said, "From now on, I will be your husband." Lu Jiunian treate...
Would you like to participate in Chapter 11?
Su Hengyi seemed to remember something, and he paused in the act of rolling up his trouser legs.
Then he said, "It hurts quite a bit."
Of course it hurts to bleed like that.
Mu Guangcheng kicked the door behind him. "Call the doctor to bandage you up. With blood flowing like this, it's no wonder you're in pain."
Su Heng looked up and met Mu Guangcheng's gaze from a distance. "You left as soon as you opened the door. I want to talk to you."
Mu Guangcheng was silent for a while before saying, "I'm not leaving. Let the doctor in. I know you pretty well, and I can't stand to see you like this."
"You still care about me."
"Stop talking nonsense and call the doctor. Are you sure you don't want to play this self-inflicted injury trick? Do you think I can't see through it?"
Su Hengyi didn't say anything, but looked down at his phone and called the doctor in.
Mu Guangcheng stood to the side and told Su Hengyi, "I know what you want to tell me, but I can't accept you."
Su Heng didn't answer immediately, then paused before asking, "Why didn't you come looking for me while you were alive?"
Mu Guangcheng looked down at the doctor treating Su Hengyi's wound. "I thought that two years would only mean we'd grown a little, and that we'd both still be standing in the same place. But I never imagined that two years would be so long. More than seven hundred days and nights, enough to do so many things. And enough for us to lose each other."
At that time, Mu Guangcheng was seriously injured and lay in bed for half a year. Later, he worked on reconstruction for half a year, learned how to handle company affairs for half a year, and worked on his career for half a year.
He thought two years wouldn't be a long time, just a small number of years in a lifetime.
But in the end, he was wrong.
As Mu Guangcheng spoke, he chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Perhaps I overestimated your feelings for me. And yes, back then I told you to forget me. Actually, I was serious. If I really died, it would be a good thing if you could move on. The mistake was that I didn't die. That was my mistake, not yours."
"sorry."
"No need, it's better if we don't stay together."
"Why."
Su Hengyi reached out and grabbed Mu Guangcheng's fingers, wanting to intertwine them.
But Mu Guangcheng forcefully broke free. He looked at Su Hengyi and said, "I don't know why, but I just think that the marriage and love you will give me in the future have already been given to someone else. It's like a wedding dress that has been worn twice; it will never feel as stunning as the first time it was worn."
"You despise me for being a divorcee, so why didn't you let me die with you back then?"
What does it matter?
“I didn’t die. Gu Yuanyuan came to save me. He was covered in wounds and limped in one leg because of me. He didn’t want anything, he just wanted me to marry him. If I can’t marry you, if I can’t be with you, what does it matter who I am? You think I’m happy that I married Gu Yuanyuan? But on the day I married him, I was thinking, if you were still alive, what would you be like, what should you be like? For the past two years, I’ve lived a life that’s neither human nor ghost, and in the end, all I get is the sentence that you think I’m dirty.”
"......."
Mu Guangcheng seemed lost in thought, his eyes lowered and he remained silent.
Su Hengyi continued, "I thought that nothing could stop our love from being together except for life and death. But in the end, you, Mu Guangcheng, don't love me, Su Hengyi, enough. I don't want anyone but you, but you still want other options."
"I didn't think that way."
"You've had girlfriends before, you've called me disgusting, and I forced you to be with me. I've forced you for so many years, but how much do you really have feelings for me?"
Mu Guangcheng looked at Su Hengyi and said, "Are you blaming me for not loving you as much as Gu Yuanyuan? Gu Yuanyuan is so good, why don't you go back to him?"
“But I can’t live without you. If you leave, I will come looking for you. If you don’t love me, I will make you love me a little more. Mu Guangcheng, I can never have enough of what I give you.”
......
When Mu Guangcheng walked out of the ward, Su Hengyi's words were still on his mind.
Actually, they haven't been doing well for each other for the past two years.
The ward.
Gu Yuanyuan lay on the bed with an IV drip in her hand.
Shi Nianzhi sat by the hospital bed and said, "When you get better, come back to the capital with me."
"I'm not going back."
"You've already divorced Su Hengyi, why aren't you going back?"
“I have a job here.”
Shi Nianzhi saw right through him at a glance, "You're a workaholic? Don't I know what kind of person you are?"
Speaking of this, Gu Yuanyuan raised her head and stared sharply at Shi Nianzhi, "You're the one who told Su Hengyi that Mu Guangcheng was still alive, right?"
"It's me."
Gu Yuanyuan pursed her lips, looking very angry. "You know perfectly well how much Su Hengyi likes him, yet you still tell him. Aren't you forcing me to divorce Su Hengyi?"
Shi Nianzhi looked at Gu Yuanyuan and said, "I didn't expect you to do this."
"how?"
"She was covered in bruises, but she still wouldn't leave him."
"You mean me? You were much better back then!"
Gu Yuanyuan suddenly turned her head and sneered, "That's right. When it comes to relationships, those involved are often blinded while bystanders see clearly. Back then, didn't I also advise you to leave Lu Jiunian, but you still wouldn't listen to me? Uncle, we're all the same. We Gu family members are inherently sentimental, so please stop trying to persuade me, okay? If one day I really end up risking my life here, you should know that I won't regret it."
"You're crazy."
"If I die one day, you will be the ones crying, and you and my parents will be the ones who can't let it go. As for myself, I will be free. I am an adult now, and I know what I want. You don't need to persuade me anymore."
Lu Jiunian put his hand on Shi Nianzhi's shoulder. "Unless he walks this path himself, no one can pull him out. Love is always so domineering."
Perhaps Lu Jiunian had also gambled with his life, and he never regretted what he had done if he had really killed himself, so he could understand Gu Yuanyuan.
Shi Nianzhi didn't say anything more in the end. When he left, he said to Gu Yuanyuan, "I hope you live well. Call me if anything happens, and I won't scold you anymore. Don't keep everything to yourself and not tell me."
Gu Yuanyuan hummed in agreement and waved her hand.
He then went to find Su Hengyi, but was stopped outside the ward; he didn't rush in.
She spoke coldly to Su Hengyi's bodyguard, "Go tell Su Hengyi that I want him to do something for me. He's the only one who can do it for me in L country right now. I'm not here to talk about feelings or go crazy. Tell him not to worry about me."
The bodyguard went in to report.
Gu Yuanyuan stood outside the door, feeling ridiculous that he had to say to Su Hengyi that he wouldn't go crazy or make a scene.
Su Heng was so wary of him that he had bodyguards keep him out of the door, as if he were the most heinous person.
Why do we have to do this?
They were clearly a married couple; they had slept in the same bed together for so long.
He just loved him, so why did that become the greatest evil?
Is it wrong to love someone too deeply?
Gu Yuanyuan's eyes were very dim. He had lost a lot of weight, and standing outside the door, he looked as if he would be blown away by the wind.
After a while, the bodyguard came out and invited Gu Yuanyuan inside.
Gu Yuanyuan walked into the ward. Su Hengyi was reading a book and didn't even look up, as if Gu Yuanyuan didn't exist.
Gu Yuanyuan looked Su Hengyi up and down, then looked at the hospital bed, wondering if it was the same one as last time.
Su Hengyi pressed Mu Guangcheng down on the bed and kissed him fiercely, his eyes filled with a passion and excitement he had never seen before, as impatient as a young boy who had just tasted love for the first time.
Gu Yuanyuan felt a lump in his throat. He couldn't bear to imagine that scene because it was too heartbreaking for him.
Gu Yuanyuan clenched her hands slightly at her sides before speaking, her voice hoarse from trying to suppress her emotions, "Is your injury healed? Last time..."
Before he could finish speaking, Su Hengyi coldly interrupted, "What is it?"
The ward was deathly silent.
Gu Yuanyuan took a while to say, "I wanted you to put in a good word for Zhou He to be released. He didn't do anything too serious. There's no need to punish him like this. If he really did something wrong, it's because he loves me too much. Do you think it's wrong for him to love me too much?"
Gu Yuanyuan seemed to be implying something.
Su Heng nodded. "Okay."
He then told his bodyguard, "Show the guest out."
"So, I'm just your guest now? I don't understand, Brother Su. If you really hate me that much, why did you let me kiss you and touch you?"
"see a visitor out."
The bodyguard grabbed Gu Yuanyuan's arm, pressed down on his shoulder, and pulled him outside.
Gu Yuanyuan struggled a bit, "You don't hate me as much as you think. I knew you before Mu Guangcheng. If it weren't for Mu Guangcheng, you would have been destined to be with me. We're a perfect match, I've said that before!"
Gu Yuanyuan was thrown out by the bodyguard. He stumbled back several steps and leaned against the wall of the corridor.
As the ward door was about to close, she said again, "You're just afraid to admit that you've fallen for me."
Su Heng turned his head and quietly read his book, even turning a page. He seemed to be in his own world, completely oblivious to what Gu Yuanyuan was saying.
So cold and heartless.
Gu Yuanyuan scoffed coldly, "You're just too afraid to admit it!"
He leaned against the wall and slowly left.
When Zhou He came out of prison, the sun was quite strong, and he reached out to shield his eyes.
He was locked up for several days, still wearing the clothes he had been put in. After all, he had no relatives in this country, so naturally no one would be kind enough to send him a change of clothes.
So he looked rather disheveled.
But when he looked up, he saw Gu Yuanyuan waiting by the roadside, leaning against the car.
For a moment, Zhou He really wanted to rush over, but he remembered that he hadn't showered for many days, so he stopped himself.
To his surprise, Gu Yuanyuan walked towards him.
Zhou He was very happy. "Brother Yuan, did you come to pick me up? Well, you never come to pick up anyone else except me. I haven't showered for many days, otherwise I really wanted to hug you."
The prison was too cold; he longed for warmth.
Gu Yuanyuan looked at Zhou He, "You love me very much, so you must be willing to do anything for me, right?"
