Chapter 205 The Extremely Gentle "Shao Yu"
Gu Yuehuai was in a daze and didn't know what day it was.
In her dream, she seemed to have returned to her previous life.
"Don't you have an appetite? Why don't you eat?" Yan Shaoyu looked at Gu Yuehuai with concern and reached out to touch her forehead.
Gu Yuehuai stared at the much more mature Yan Shaoyu in astonishment, feeling the warmth of his palm. She looked around and saw the familiar scenery and decorations. It was the small courtyard in Beijing where she had lived for nearly ten years. For a moment, she didn't know whether it was a dream or reality.
She opened her cracked lips and called softly, "Shao Yu?"
Yan Shaoyu frowned even tighter: "What's wrong with you?"
"No...it's okay." Gu Yuehuai shook his head hesitantly, his eyes fixed on Yan Shaoyu's face.
Compared to his youth, Yan Shaoyu now obviously has more of the air of a superior, with long eyebrows, narrow eyes, thin rosy lips under a high nose bridge. He is still good-looking, but the usual arrogance between his eyebrows is no longer there, and instead reveals a bit of sharpness and coldness.
Yan Shaoyu pursed his lips and said in a clear and steady voice: "Don't keep anything in your heart. I'm here, don't be afraid."
Hearing these caring words, Gu Yuehuai's nose couldn't help but feel sore and his eyes were hot.
After her rebirth, she was on edge every moment, fearing that she would make a mistake and follow in the footsteps of her previous life. The only thing that could bring warmth to her heart was the safety of her family and his company.
Unfortunately, when he was young, Yan Shaoyu was like a stubborn donkey and was very difficult to approach, which made her a little discouraged.
Now, hearing his concern again, my aggrieved mood temporarily eased and I even had an urge to cry.
Gu Yuehuai took a deep breath and suppressed her tears. She reached out and held Yan Shaoyu's warm hand. Her eyebrows were curved, and there was a hint of pride between her beautiful eyebrows: "Shaoyu, do you know? I killed Tian Jing, with my own hands!"
She didn't care whether this was a dream or reality, but as long as it was Yan Shaoyu, it was enough for her to let down all her defenses.
Tian Jing was her obsession for two lifetimes. Even though it left trouble behind, killing her was also a fact. This was a happy event for her, but she could not tell others about such a happy event because they would not understand even if she told them.
She was glad that she could see Yan Shaoyu from her previous life again and tell him the story in person.
She thought he would be happy for her.
After hearing this, Yan Shaoyu looked at Gu Yuehuai quietly for a long while. He placed his hand on her head and softened his voice: "You have finally gotten your revenge. You can sleep peacefully. Go to sleep. I will stay by your side."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuehuai shook his head and wanted to say something, but his eyelids felt heavy and he fell into darkness.

When Gu Yuehuai woke up, he felt cold all over and couldn't help but curl up.
At this moment, her hand touched a warm source and she couldn't help but lean towards it.
Yan Shaoyu's voice was slightly hoarse: "Are you awake?"
Gu Yuehuai opened his eyes in confusion, and the wet cloth on his head fell to the ground with a "plop".
She raised her eyes to look at Yan Shaoyu who was sitting beside her and looking down at her. She felt as if she was in another world. She knew in her heart that she had woken up from a dream. She ignored her disappointment and said, "I...what's wrong with me?"
When she opened her mouth, her throat felt like gravel rolling through it.
Yan Shaoyu cleared his throat and added some firewood to the fire: "You have a fever."
Gu Yuehuai struggled to sit up. She had just been close to Yan Shaoyu, the source of warmth. Now that she was sitting up, the two of them were shoulder to shoulder, very close to each other. Lightning flashed through her mind, and she recalled what happened before she fell into a coma.
Her eyes were slightly cold, she looked at the familiar wooden house, then suddenly turned her head to look at a corner.
It was clean there, no bloodstains, and no trace of Tian Jing's body. Everything seemed like a dream.
Gu Yuehuai clenched his fingers, supported himself and stood up, then walked to the place where Tian Jing was stabbed. There was really no blood. How could it be possible? Was everything just a dream? Did she not kill Tian Jing? !
This news made Gu Yuehuai's face pale as paper, and a feeling of depression lingered in his chest.
She knew that she should be thankful that she didn't kill Tian Jing, because it meant that she escaped and didn't have to worry about whether to kill Song Jinan or go back to jail. But the joy in her dream was so real that she didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
Yan Shaoyu raised his eyes and looked at Gu Yuehuai. She was in a low mood, standing there motionless, looking somewhat pitiful.
He was silent for a moment, then said slowly, "Are you looking for Tian Jing?"
Gu Yuehuai turned around suddenly, with an expression of shock and confusion on his face.
At this moment, she suddenly realized that even if killing Tian Jing was just a dream, why was Tian Jing not in the wooden house, and Song Jinan was not there either? Why were there only her and Yan Shaoyu here?
Her voice was a little dry: "Where are they?"
Yan Shaoyu didn't say anything, but just stared at her quietly, as if he wanted to stare a hole in her face.
Gu Yuehuai also remained silent and just looked back at him.
The two of them were silent for a long time. Finally, Yan Shaoyu's eyes were filled with murderous intent: "Gu Yuehuai, do you really not want to live? Are you capable of stabbing and killing people? I gave you the knife so that you can protect yourself, not to kill people!"
Hearing this, Gu Yuehuai felt relieved. It turned out that this was not a dream. She still killed Tian Jing.
Gu Yuehuai pursed his lips, a hint of self-mockery in his eyes: "Where are they?"
Yan Shaoyu was surprised at her calmness. Even though he had exposed her murder plan, she didn't seem nervous or scared at all. She even had an expression that said "whatever you say". To be honest, such a Gu Yuehuai really made him feel a little unfamiliar, even though they were not very familiar with each other.
He glanced at Gu Yuehuai coldly and said in a clear voice: "When I came back, he was gone."
Gu Yuehuai frowned: "Gone? What does gone mean? What about Song Jinan?"
If Tian Jing's body was gone, it could be explained that she was eaten by a bear, but where was Song Jinan? No matter how kind he was, he couldn't have put himself into the bear's mouth first so that Tian Jing's body could escape, right?
Yan Shaoyu didn't keep the secret any longer and told Gu Yuehuai everything that happened after he fainted.
Gu Yuehuai had a high fever and was unconscious, and urgently needed to reduce the fever. Helplessly, Yan Shaoyu could only take the risk and carry her back to the cabin.
The two were lucky and had a smooth journey without encountering the black bear again. However, when they returned to the cabin, they were hit by a strong smell of blood, and they did not see Tian Jing and Song Jinan.
Yan Shaoyu knew something was wrong. At first he thought a bear had broken into the house and killed the two of them. But later he found that the wooden door was intact, and the wild boar meat and firewood pile in the house were also intact. The only thing was a pool of blood on the ground, and two people were missing.
He had learned reconnaissance from the scouts, and with a little guesswork, he had a 70% guess about the situation at the time.
The pool of blood was exactly where Tian Jing was sitting around the fire.
Gu Yuehuai's hatred for Tian Jing was very strong, but when he appeared in front of him, he was so calm as if he didn't care about life and death. It was not difficult to guess what happened in the wooden house when he was confronting the wolves.
As for Song Jinan, if he guessed correctly, Tian Jing was probably not dead and was taken away by Song Jinan.
He is that kind of person who will not give up on anyone and will not refuse to help anyone. However, the terrain is steep and unfamiliar, there are wolves in front and bears behind, and he is carrying Tian Jing as a burden. It is unknown whether he can leave alive.
He wanted to go out to look for someone, but Gu Yuehuai was unconscious. If he left her behind, the consequences would be disastrous.
Between Song Jinan and Gu Yuehuai, he indulged himself and chose the latter. If he had to give a reason, it was probably because of the extremely gentle words "Shao Yu" that she uttered softly when she was dying and her lips were cracked.
