Chapter 109 The Rose in My Heart

The air fell silent for a short time, with only the faint sound of the night wind blowing against the campfire. Zhao Fenglin felt so shy that he couldn't be more shy.

But she did not choose to avoid the question as she did in the past, but just nodded slightly.

"Yeah... I like her very much. I think I'm a weird person. I have different feelings for her. I thought I was sick, but when I saw you, I felt that it wasn't a disease. I just wanted to be with the person I like. What's wrong with that?"

The world is full of horrible demons, and people live in fear of losing their lives every day. They may be laughing and talking today, but may be buried in the wet soil tomorrow.

If you keep hiding things, you will never get what you want in your life.

Because what if... Gu Mei can't survive this knee infection?

Zhao Fenglin knew that he would never see the person he secretly loved again because she would become a walking corpse, becoming more and more ugly.

“So I’m troubled…”

Su Tang pursed her lips, and the taste of fish came back to her. In fact, she didn't find this matter that surprising. It was just a small matter of secret love.

However, I was still a little surprised by things beyond the script, but it doesn’t matter. The male protagonist is dead anyway, and the collapse of the script should start from here.

"There's nothing to worry about."

"Just tell me if you like it."

Bai Yanxing thought about it. She was not someone who would suppress her feelings of love. If she liked someone and could no longer tolerate it, she would sooner or later drag that person into a narrow corridor.

Kiss the lips and skin that you have longed for.

"But if I tell her, we might not even be able to be friends anymore, and she'll avoid me for the rest of her life. That would be even more painful, so I'd rather not tell her."

Bai Yanxing was silent.

Oh, right?

Why didn't I consider this problem?

Because every time she looked at Su Tang, she could see desire in his eyes, so there was no need for too much confession between the two.

They can kiss each other and ask for it.

Almost when the two met for the first time, she could see the flowing emotions in Su Tang's eyes, sparkling, like a warm current flowing into her heart.

"But if you don't tell me, you might not get another chance."

Su Tang pondered for a moment and decided to join the persuasion. As for why, she actually had selfish motives. One was that she wanted Gu Mei to be with someone else.

This way, there is no need to worry about the ambiguous main plot line between her and the heroine, which is less than lovers but more than friendship.

Secondly, she didn't know if things would get out of her control. What if Gu Mei couldn't withstand the infection and really died...

For the girl in front of me, this may really be a pity.

Sometimes being rejected by others is better than not being rejected at all. If you are not rejected, there will always be a thread in your heart that binds you.

Will she like me too?

This is painful for both of them.

"You know, Gu Mei is now reborn from the ashes. If she succeeds, she might be able to be reborn and become as powerful as Yan Xing."

"But if it doesn't work..."

"The number of times you can meet is constantly decreasing."

"Are you willing to regret it?"

Su Tang asked a soul-searching question, and it was obvious that Zhao Fenglin was unwilling.

The first time she fell in love with someone, she was completely blank about matters of the heart. She had no idea what to do or what to say, and could only guess based on the other person's preferences.

"No…"

"I want her to know my feelings."

Perhaps because she had drunk a few sips of wine, Zhao Fenglin's cheeks flushed. Although she was a good girl, her appearance at this moment still made people feel pity for her.

"Then let's try it."

Su Tang encouraged her. After all, when it comes to love, you can't just retreat. You need to take a step forward. If you fail, there's nothing you can do. You have to accept it instead of always reminiscing about the past.

"Thank you."

Zhao Fenglin squinted his eyes and smiled, really like a cute little deer.

…

The sky was getting darker and darker, and Gu Mei felt like she had fallen into an endless purgatory. The pain and rising body temperature were tormenting her.

The effectiveness of the painkillers was minimal, so she had stopped taking them long ago. Instead of wasting them, she decided to buy some food for her family.

In the end times, medicine is as valuable as gold and can be exchanged for many things.

Gu Mei closed her eyes and used her willpower to fight the pain in her body. The doctor who treated her wounds also said so.

"People with stronger willpower... tend to survive longer. So, Captain Bai must be the person with the strongest willpower we've ever seen. Otherwise, how could she have endured this?"

Gu Mei clenched her teeth tightly, making a "crunching" sound.

Bai Yanxing can use his skills to shut everyone up, so he can also use the same skills to slowly rise to the top of the Black Wolf Gang.

Now, this is a crossroads in my life.

It's either life or death.

Either you become a capable person or you become a zombie.

So she needed to use all her willpower to resist.

But at this moment, the door was pushed open.

Zhao Fenglin walked in. She thought the person lying on the bed was already asleep, so she was very careful with any movement, for fear of waking up the person.

Gu Mei could sense this subtle change. She opened her eyes slightly and saw the familiar face through her thick eyelashes.

Zhao Fenglin just silently lifted the quilt and checked Gu Mei's knee. Seeing the bright red blood seeping through the gauze, he sighed with heartache.

Find a small pillow and place it under your knees to make your legs more comfortable.

She stayed for a while, and when she saw that there was nothing unusual about Gu Mei, she prepared to leave.

But when he reached the door, he remembered what Su Tang had said to him.

Is she really willing to accept this? If she can let go of this overwhelming love, then she is really amazing.

But what if confessing leads to an outcome that you cannot face?

Zhao Fenglin slowly loosened his grip on the door handle, turned around, and sat down beside Gu Mei's bed.

"When I first saw you, I was thinking... How could someone be so beautiful? Red hair is so beautiful. Everyone else has black hair, and I thought you dyed it..."

The girl's voice was very low, like an unpopular girl in school whispering.

Soft fingers stroked the red hair on Gu Mei's temples.

"I knew you were mixed-race when I heard you were. You completely inherited your mother's beauty."

"No wonder Uncle Gu named you Gu Mei. Your hair... is the color of a rose."

"It's like the rose in my heart."

Zhao Fenglin leaned over. Actually, she wanted to kiss her lips, but she didn't have the courage to do so. She just kissed her earlobe.

She was about to leave when her wrist was grabbed.

Then, a pair of dark eyes stared at him.
