Chapter 69: It hurts so much... even breathing feels unnecessary
"Let me go!" Gu Manman struggled hard.
Not only did he not loosen his grip, but he tightened his fingers even more, staring at her intently.
The pain in his eyes almost overflowed.
“Feng Mingzhou!” Gu Manman could no longer bear it and used her other hand to pry his fingers apart. “Look at what you look like now?! Are you really crazy?!”
She used all her strength to struggle backwards.
This time, she broke free.
There were several clear red marks on the wrists.
Feng Mingzhou didn't expect her to be so resolute, and was carried away by the force and stumbled back a small step.
He lowered his head, looked at his empty, bleeding right hand, then slowly raised his head and looked at Gu Manman.
She just looked at him, the coldness and vigilance in her eyes were clear.
The complete feeling of strangeness made Feng Mingzhou's heart suddenly twitch.
The violent energy that had supported him just now collapsed in an instant, leaving only embarrassment and panic that had nowhere to hide. His heart felt as if it was clenched and was aching dully.
He staggered and could no longer stand.
His back leaned heavily against the wall behind him, making a dull "bang" sound.
The wall on which he had smashed the mark became his only support at this moment.
His back bent down little by little, and his body slid down slowly and weakly along the cold wall.
Finally, he fell to the floor.
He sat there dejectedly, his whole body shrouded in thick, unremovable despair and misery.
driven to distraction.
"Senior, are you okay?" Gu Manman walked up to Zhou Mubai, looked at the blood oozing from the corners of his swollen mouth, and frowned.
Zhou Mubai raised his hand, touched the corner of his mouth with his fingertips, hissed, and then gave her a comforting smile: "It's okay, just a minor injury."
Feng Mingzhou, who was lying on the ground, raised his eyelids and looked at Gu Manman's worried face and at her hand that was reaching out to Zhou Mubai.
He looked at the back of his hand which was still dripping with blood. The skin there had been broken, revealing the tender flesh underneath.
The blood is still flowing.
Before, when he couldn't see, he always stumbled.
Once, she just scraped her skin on the corner of the table, but she was so nervous.
At that time, all her nervousness and concern were directed only to him.
But now...
Her concern and nervousness were all given to another man.
That man, Zhou Mubai.
Zhao Yang said he was infatuated and that he came back for his first love who was separated from him by his mother when he was young.
Therefore, the person Zhou Mubai can't forget is Manman.
They were...
There was a sudden sharp pain in his heart, his vision went dark, and he curled up in pain.
My breathing became more and more rapid, my chest felt tighter, and every breath was excruciatingly painful.
It turns out that she had someone else in her heart.
It turned out that the blank space he thought was there had already been filled by another person.
Even now, that person's position may still be there.
It was more painful for him to admit that she had loved someone else, and might even still love someone else, than to admit that she did not love him.
The dam in my heart, which had been holding up for so long, suddenly collapsed at this moment.
The fragility and despair that he had tried so hard to suppress and buried deep in his heart, never revealed in front of anyone, now surged out like an uncontrolled torrent, no longer able to be suppressed and nowhere to hide.
A suppressed, broken sob emanated from his throat.
Tears slid uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes, running down his cheeks and onto the back of his hand which was still bleeding.
He wanted to raise his hands to cover his face, but his hands hurt so much, his whole body hurt, it was so painful that he was almost numb, and he didn't even have the strength to raise his arms.
It hurts so much...even breathing seems unnecessary.

Gu Manman stopped looking at the curled up figure on the ground. She pulled Zhou Mubai, walked around him, and walked quickly towards the elevator.
The elevator goes down and "ding" arrives on the first floor.
Su Yu was waiting in the sofa area in the lobby. She looked Gu Manman up and down. When she saw that she had changed her clothes and the wound on Zhou Mubai's mouth, her expression changed. "What's going on?"
"It's okay," Gu Manman shook her head, not wanting to say more, "Let's go back."
Zhou Mubai took out the car keys: "I'll take you there."
Su Yu sat in the back seat, looking at the two people in front through the rearview mirror. She tactfully did not ask any more questions about what happened just now, and took out her cell phone to start browsing.
The carriage was very quiet, with only the slight sound of air from the air conditioner.
"You and Feng Mingzhou..." Zhou Mubai broke the silence, "Yes..."
Gu Manman turned her head and looked at his profile.
The light from the street lamp briefly swept across his high nose and slightly pursed thin lips.
"Ex-boyfriend." She said softly, "We broke up three years ago."
Zhou Mubai moved his fingers on the steering wheel and didn't ask any more questions.
The carriage became quiet again.
After a while, Gu Manman spoke again: "Senior, I'm sorry... for tonight."
"I got you involved and got you hurt."
Zhou Mubai turned his head and glanced at her: "It has nothing to do with you."

hotel.
Feng Mingzhou was still sitting on the ground with his head buried deep in his knees.
The blood on the back of the hand no longer gushed out like before, but the coagulated blood scab and the wound with rolled skin and flesh still looked hideous.
Several hotel staff members stood aside from a distance, not daring to step forward, and just reported in a low voice into the walkie-talkie.
The elevator door opened again.
Zhao Yang walked out quickly with two bodyguards.
When he saw Feng Mingzhou on the ground, his face changed and he immediately waved his hand to ask the people in the hotel to disperse.
"Mingzhou?"
Zhao Yang squatted down and touched his shoulder tentatively.
The people on the ground didn't react at all.
Zhao Yang frowned and looked at the clear fist mark on the wall next to him and the dried bloodstains on the floor.
"How did it come to this?"
Zhao Yang sighed and increased the strength of his hands.
"Mingzhou, get up."
Feng Mingzhou's shoulders trembled slightly.
Slowly, very slowly, he raised his head.
Zhao Yang met his eyes and his heart sank suddenly.
It was empty inside, without any focus.
"She's gone?"
Feng Mingzhou spoke.
"I left with Zhou Mubai."
"She is the first love that Zhou Mubai wants to find back."
"She protected him."
"She told me to get out."
Zhao Yang felt bad when he looked at his bleeding hand.
"Get up first and go to the hospital to treat your wounds."
Feng Mingzhou seemed not to hear it, and his eyes were still staring blankly ahead.
"Zhao Yang."
"You said, I...?"
"Is it... what you deserve?"
Zhao Yang's throat felt a little tight.
He patted Feng Mingzhou on the back and spoke as slowly as possible.
"Don't think too much. It's about feelings. Sigh...get up first, ok?"
Two bodyguards stepped forward and tried to support Feng Mingzhou.
Feng Mingzhou waved their hands away.
He supported himself against the wall with his uninjured hand and staggered to his feet.
His body was still shaking slightly and his face was frighteningly pale.
"Go back to the villa."
Zhao Yang looked at his hand which was still bleeding, then looked at his distraught appearance, and finally gave up.
"good."
"I'll take you back first."

Western suburbs villa.
Feng Mingzhou staggered toward the sofa and almost fell into it.
Zhao Yang looked at him like this and frowned tightly.
He walked to the bar, poured a glass of water, and took out a medicine box from the cabinet next to him to treat Feng Mingzhou's wound.
"Come on, stop acting like a living dead." Zhao Yang's voice was a little irritated, "I am so unlucky to have a brother like you."
Feng Mingzhou didn't respond.
Zhao Yang closed the medicine box, threw it aside, and sat down on the armchair next to it.
"Honestly, Mingzhou," Zhao Yang's voice lowered, with a sense of helplessness and self-mockery, "I didn't expect that my cousin Zhou Mubai... and Manman were like that back then."
The figure on the sofa moved almost imperceptibly.
Zhao Yang continued, "I only know that they were fine back then, but they were torn apart by my aunt. Zhou Mubai's mother was extremely controlling and felt that Manman's family background was not worthy of her son, so she used Manman's future and other things to force Zhou Mubai to break up."
"My cousin was also very stubborn. He just left home and has hardly come back in all these years."
Zhao Yang rubbed his forehead and said in a complicated tone: "Who would have thought... he came back this time really for Gu Manman. It's been so many years..."
Feng Mingzhou slowly raised his head.
He looked at Zhao Yang and moved his lips, but no sound came out.
Zhou Mubai, that was her unforgettable first love that was forcibly cut off when she was young.
Zhou Mubai can't forget it.
What about her?
Has she never let it go in her heart?
