Chapter 109 Don't Deprive Me of the Right to Love You
Mobile phone caller ID - F.
Gu Manman took a look and didn't answer.
The ringing persisted for a while, and finally stopped.
The screen lights up again.
F: [Open the door.]
Gu Manman picked up the phone, took a look at it, then turned the screen downward and threw it on the bedding without replying.
When I talk about those three years, I do feel a little unhappy.
Those days of licking wounds alone and trying to piece himself back together in a foreign country were not as easy as he had just said to Zhou Mubai.
Now she didn't want to see Feng Mingzhou at all.
She walked over to the bar, poured herself a glass of ice water, and walked out to the balcony.
The bonfire on the beach downstairs was still bright, and vague laughter could be heard.
She leaned against the railing and drank the water slowly.
Just then, there was a noise coming from the balcony next to us.
Gu Manman turned her head subconsciously.
Feng Mingzhou was standing on the balcony next door, only about three meters away.
He was still wearing the light blue shirt, the night wind blew his hair on his forehead, revealing a pair of eyes that were still bright in the night, looking straight at her.
How could he...
Before Gu Manman could react, she saw him jump easily and land on her balcony without even a running start.
She stared with wide eyes at the madman in front of her, fear and anger bursting out.
"Feng Mingzhou! Are you sick?" She pointed at him, then pointed downstairs, "This is the fucking eighth floor! The eighth floor! Are you trying to kill yourself?!"
Feng Mingzhou looked at her flushed face and her frightened eyes. Instead of feeling the slightest bit of guilt, he took a step forward, the corners of his lips rising uncontrollably.
"Are you worried about me?" he asked, his tone showing undisguised joy.
"Are you worried about me? Manman."
Gu Manman felt a lump in her chest and almost fainted.
She retorted angrily: "Don't worry about your head! If anyone jumps off a building in front of me, I will shout twice! If you want to die, jump away from me and don't dirty my land!"
After hearing this, Feng Mingzhou was not angry. Instead, he laughed softly, his chest vibrating as he let out a happy laugh.
He looked at her angry look and thought it was adorable.
Gu Manman stared at the smiling man in front of her and wanted to kick him down from the eighth floor.
Is there something wrong with this guy's brain?
If she had missed the jump just now... She didn't dare to think about it anymore. After all, it was a life. She couldn't just stand there and do nothing if someone died in front of her.
Gu Manman was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. She turned around and sat on the rattan chair on the balcony, turning her head away and not looking at him.
Feng Mingzhou sat down cross-legged on the floor next to the rattan chair. He didn't say anything, just looked up at her.
The two of them sat in silence for a long time.
"Manman, those three years... I never dared to ask... were you doing well?"
“Of course it wasn’t easy at the beginning.”
Her voice was so soft that it drifted in the wind.
"It's like having a serious illness. My whole body aches and I can't see where it's going to end."
"Letting go of a person, or...letting go of the past, is much harder than you think."
Feng Mingzhou's heart clenched. He looked at her calm profile and his throat became dry.
"But, in this world, there is nothing that time cannot smooth out."
"The pain lasted for a while, and then I became numb."
"After being numb for a long time, it seems...it doesn't hurt that much anymore."
"Later, I gradually realized that in this world, no one is indispensable to anyone else."
“Life on the island is simple.”
"Surfing, watching the sea, basking in the sun, and writing novels."
“Most of the time, I’m happy.”
After she finished speaking, she turned back and looked at Feng Mingzhou with a look of almost cruel honesty in her eyes.
"So, Feng Mingzhou, I lived pretty well during those three years."
"I've always said, I've let you go, and it's the truth."
This calmness, to him, is the deepest torture.
He would rather she hated him, blamed him, and accused him hysterically.
It's better than the situation now. She can tell him calmly that she has let it go.
It was as if he was just a past event in her life, nothing more.
My throat seemed to be blocked by something. It was dry and astringent, and every word was extremely difficult to speak.
"sorry."
"Manman...I'm sorry."
He didn't know what else to say.
How could a simple "I'm sorry" be enough for all the hurts, the betrayals, the days and nights when she had to lick her wounds alone in a foreign country?
Back then, for the sake of so-called power and interests, he ignored and hurt her time and time again.
He thought he was powerful enough to control everything.
But it wasn't until he lost her that he came to his senses.
All the fame, wealth and status that he once coveted, all the power and position that he thought were so important, became insignificant and meaningless in the face of the pain of losing her.
Many ambitions and ambitions cannot compare to a kiss from the one you love.
There seemed to be a raging fire in his eyes, and he held her hand and pressed it against his heart.
"Gu Manman."
"I love you."
"Till death do us part."
"Feng Mingzhou..."
She wanted to say something, but he interrupted her.
"Don't reject me."
His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of trembling.
"Manman, don't deprive me of the right to love you."
"You don't have to respond, you just have to... allow."
"Let me continue..."
"Let me stay with you."
"Let me continue to...love you."
The night wind blows.
Feng Mingzhou didn't say anything else.
He just sat on the floor like that, looking up at her, at her profile blown by the night breeze.
It seemed that just being able to look at her like this was a satisfaction for him.
He knew that today's topic was too heavy.
She needs time to digest.
But at least, the stab wound bought him an opportunity.
That's enough.
Between them, there was the blank space of the past three years, the irreparable harm, and her hard shell.
But he also knew that he had to chisel open the shell bit by bit.
No matter how hard it is, no matter how long it takes.
He will wait.
Keep waiting.

On the second day on the island, the sun rose exceptionally early.
Feng Mingzhou went to the white sand beach in the north alone.
Gu Manman said that this place is quiet and less crowded. It is indeed true.
He walked slowly along the coastline. Was this where she had spent countless such calm and hot days?
It was this sea that liberated her during these three years and allowed her to find another way to survive.
He looked at the rolling waves on the sea, trying to imagine every moment she had been here.
During these three days, he was on this island, like a pilgrim, following the path she had walked, trying to pick up the three years he had missed.
He knew that she had found peace and herself here.
And he once again broke into her peace and disrupted her life.
But he couldn't stop.
He couldn't accept that she had let go completely, couldn't accept that she no longer needed him.
He would try every possible means to regain a place in her heart.
This island witnessed her rebirth.
Now, it will also bear witness to his pursuit.
