Chapter 101 How the hell...how dare I?

At 5:30 in the afternoon, a black business car stopped steadily at the gate of a manor.

The guard stepped forward to stop him. Li Xiaoyao got out of the car and whispered a few words to the other party before the heavy iron gate slowly opened.

In the living room, a woman with a big belly was sitting. When she saw Fu Sinian, who looked exhausted, walk in, she immediately stood up and looked him up and down.

"Are you Fu Sinian?" She asked with an aggressive tone.

"Where is she?"

After scanning the whole area, she curled her lips and said, "You look quite decent. No wonder... Xiangsi can't let you go."

Fu Sinian frowned: "What did you say?"

"That's interesting." The woman raised an eyebrow. "It seems there's a misunderstanding between you two."

"Oh, Fu, I'm so sorry, so sorry." The man who had just come out of the bathroom saw this and hurried forward. "This is my wife. I'm sorry for being so ignorant and embarrassing you."

He turned to Fu Sinian and held out his hand: "I had an appointment to discuss cooperation with you, but you had something urgent to do. Coincidentally, I saved the person you were looking for. Do you want to go see her now?"

Fu Sinian frowned and looked at his hands without moving.

"I washed my hands." The man teased, "My mysophobia hasn't changed at all."

Zhou Ye directly blocked his way and said, "No! Answer me first, are you still thinking about her?"

"No comment." Fu Sinian said in a cold tone.

"Oh, wife, this is a matter between them, let them solve it themselves."

Zhou Botong quickly pulled Zhou Ye aside and whispered to comfort him, "Don't be angry, be careful of the baby in your belly."

Then he said to Fu Sinian, "Fu, she is on the second floor."

Fu Sinian said nothing more and walked upstairs. Li Xiaoyao and others followed immediately.

Fu Sinian pushed the door open and walked in, his eyes falling on the woman on the bed.

There was gauze wrapped around his forehead, his brows were furrowed, and his body was twitching slightly from time to time. It was obvious that he was sleeping very restlessly.

My heart seemed to be suddenly tightened by something and shrank suddenly.

When the servant next to him saw him come in, he nodded slightly and then tiptoed out.

"My body, arms, and legs are all scratched."

Zhou Ye, with her belly bulging, gestured for Fu Sinian to sit on the sofa next to her.

"Looking at you like this, you must be wondering why I know you, Fu Sinian?"

Fu Sinian's eyes were glued to the woman's face for a long time before he slowly turned around and sat down on the sofa. He said in a deep voice, "Mrs. Zhou, please speak."

"I'm Xiangsi's college classmate after she went abroad."

Zhou Ye spoke, his tone bitter with reminiscence, "We lived in the same dormitory. When she first came, she was always having nightmares, and later she even suffered from depression. I accompanied her to see a doctor."

She paused, her eyes complicated. "Actually, you don't know. Breaking up with you wasn't the biggest blow. Five years ago, after you broke up, she braved the heavy rain to look for a chain."

"The one she always wears around her neck." Zhou Ye looked at the person on the bed. "She was dazed just now and was still muttering this."

Fu Sinian's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the woman on the bed, his eyes gloomy.

Zhou Ye's voice was as light as a blade scraping across glass, and every word was filled with cruel memories:

"She fell into the ditch in the alley while looking for the chain in the rain... Those drunks pulled her hair, and she broke her nails while still shouting your name."

Fu Sinian's knuckles cracked, and the glass next to him suddenly cracked.

"What did you say?"

Fu Sinian suddenly looked up, his whole body seemed to be struck by thunder, his eyes instantly flashed with a terrifying coldness, and his voice was tense, "Five years ago?"

"Yes... after finding the chain that day..."

Zhou also met his shocked gaze, "As for whether it was man-made or an accident, I think you should check the answer."

Fu Sinian's breathing suddenly stopped, as if someone had pierced his lungs with an ice pick.

During the rainstorm five years ago, he received a call from an unfamiliar number.

There were only vague sobs and a man's sinister grin on the other end of the phone. He thought it was a harassing call and hung up directly.

When Li Xiaoyao came in with the food tray, he saw Fu Sinian bending slightly. When he looked closely, he saw that he was putting the necklace on Miss Gu.

It seems that the young master is really heartbroken this time.

He placed the food tray on the coffee table and quietly retreated.

Fu Sinian sat down beside the bed, without saying a word, his eyes fixed on the face of the woman on the bed.

The woman raised her hand almost subconsciously, and her fingertips touched the chain around her neck, and her brows relaxed slightly.

His throat moved, "Gu Xiangsi..."

His voice was hoarse and out of tune, "Back then you..."

Would the outcome have been different if only one of them had been willing to give in?

The rain was still falling outside the window, hitting the glass like some kind of endless countdown.

Fu Sinian sat on a chair beside the bed, his back straight, as if if he relaxed even a little, something that had been suppressed for years would tear out of his chest.

Five seventeen.

She had been unconscious for four hours.

His fingertips unconsciously rubbed the bracelet in his hand.

"Anian..."

Her voice was very soft, like a feather wet by rain, but it exploded like a thunder in his ears.

Five years.

This name was like a blunt knife, slowly and cruelly cutting into the deepest part of his memory.

She screamed like that last time when she was drunk.

Finally, a low, hoarse gasp rolled out of his throat.

"Gu Xiangsi..."

He pronounced her name as if to

Make up for all the missed syllables.

But she didn't respond.

Only the sound of rain outside the window and the regular "beeping" sound of the monitor reminded him.

How many nights like this had she endured alone?

Without him, without explanation, only the chain and wounds all over his body.

The look she gave him for the last time five years ago suddenly flashed before his eyes.

Wet and desperate, like the rain tonight.

And now, she lay on the hospital bed, her gauze-wrapped fingers unconsciously hooked on the chain, as if it was the only thing she could hold on to.

He suddenly leaned over and rested his forehead against her uninjured forehead. He was cold and his breathing was heavy.

"This time...don't let go."

"Anian..."

The sound was very light, like a piece of snow falling on red-hot iron, instantly burning through all his defenses.

Fu Sinian suddenly looked up and met her slightly opened eyes, which were still covered with a layer of fog, as if she had not completely escaped from the nightmare.

Her hands were tightly wrapped in gauze, like two clumsy dumplings, with her fingertips slightly curled up, as if she wanted to grab something but couldn't exert any strength.

His throat tightened, and he subconsciously reached out to touch it, but froze in mid-air...

It will hurt her.

Just like back then, he should have hugged her, but he let go.

"…I am here."

His voice was extremely hoarse, and his palm was hovering next to her hand. He wanted to hold it but didn't dare to. In the end, he could only hold the wrist wrapped in gauze lightly.

Gu Xiangsi's eyelashes trembled, and she suddenly smiled softly.

"I dreamed about you."

Her voice was vague and soft after a high fever, but it pierced his heart like a knife.

"I dreamed that you... didn't want me anymore."

Fu Sinian's breathing stagnated, and his heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by someone.

He couldn't hold it in any longer, so he leaned over and carefully held her in his arms, resting his forehead on her shoulder, his body trembling.

“…Gu Xiangsi…”

His voice was muffled in the crook of her neck, and the hot liquid seeped into the bandages.

"How the hell...how dare I?"

Outside the window, the rain finally stopped.
