But why was happiness so short-lived! Why did he fall ill every year? He hadn't even had a chance to truly love her, to let her enjoy all the happiness of her life, and she had already fallen ill!
How could he accept this! He was unwilling to accept it. He wanted to save his Niannian, he wanted to save his world. If his world was gone, how would he live? And how could he possibly live?
He was filled with endless sorrow and pain. No matter what he tried, he couldn't find any information that could help Liu Nian. This made him feel so useless, unable to give Liu Nian anything when she needed him.
Meanwhile, Liu Yansheng was also extremely anxious about Liu Nian's illness. Since returning from the hospital, he had been waiting for news all he could think about.
He had lost his wife and it took him more than a decade to fully recover. His daughter was still so young, in the prime of her life. He couldn't bear to think about what he would do if his wife's child, whom she had risked her life to save, were to die with her at such a young age!
At this moment, Liu Yansheng wished he were a doctor, but he was not.
Meteor was also using his connections abroad to inquire about any cases of the illness that was affecting Liu Nian.
There was still no news. She was panicking and hated herself for her incompetence.
Liu Nian herself was unaware of their anxiety for her; she was sitting quietly with her eyes half-closed.
Gu Minhang has been in the study for three hours, which is very unusual.
Normally, if the two of them were both home at the same time, Gu Minhang would never leave her for such a long time; he wished he could be one with her.
Several more minutes passed, but there was still no movement at the study door.
Time waits for no one, so I got up and went to knock on the door.
Gu Minhang was immersed in his grief when he heard a knock on the door. He suddenly realized that he had been in the study for so long without realizing it.
Realizing that Liu Nian was still outside, he suddenly got up and went to open the door.
Before Liu Nian could react, he pulled her into his arms.
"Mr. Gu has been in the study for quite a while, and I was worried, so I came to disturb him."
Gu Minhang lowered his head, nuzzled her hair with his chin, and said softly, "I'm sorry for making you worry."
Time flows back and embraces him.
After a long while, the two finally separated.
Liu Nian took Gu Minhang's hand and gently swayed it.
"I bet you're hungry. Let's go out for a big meal, it's on me!"
Gu Minhang smiled and nodded. "Okay."
Summer nights are always sultry with the breeze, and the sounds of crickets and frogs can be heard from downstairs in the neighborhood.
The two strolled along the paths of the residential area, a look of worry on Liu Nian's delicate face.
Gu Minhang lowered his eyes and stared at her profile.
The years have passed so quickly; before, they were rosy white, but now they are pale.
Gu Minhang felt a pang of heartache.
Without thinking, he called out to her in an extremely gentle tone: "Niannian."
"Hmm?" Liu Nian looked up, a hint of confusion in her eyes. "What's wrong?"
Gu Minhang stopped, then suddenly bent down to meet her gaze. Their four beautiful eyes met, his expression so earnest. "Niannian, let's get married! Be my Mrs. Gu, okay?"
Liu Nian nodded: "Okay!" Didn't I already agree? Why are you asking again!
"Really?" Gu Minhang's eyes suddenly seemed to sparkle like a galaxy, his face beaming with surprise. "Then how about we leave for abroad tomorrow? Let's register our marriage abroad, okay?"
Liu Nian was completely stunned, staring at him in disbelief.
What did Gu Minhang just say? Go abroad to register our marriage? And tomorrow! Did his proposal just now refer to going abroad?!
"Is it not allowed?"
"Tomorrow?" Liu Nian seemed a little unconvinced and wanted to confirm it again.
"Yes, tomorrow." He wanted it to be as soon as possible, and with that thought, his gaze toward Liu Nian became increasingly urgent.
Liu Nian was a little dumbfounded.
System: "Master, I think this is feasible, don't hesitate."
Liu Nian: "Too fast."
System: "Think about it, you'll be leaving soon."
Liu Nian: "It's precisely because I'll be leaving soon that I can't get married so quickly!"
System: "Master, the male lead's regret in his past life is probably related to you. Do you want to make him regret it in this life as well? Or do you want to try to win him over again?"
Liu Nian: "So, what was his fate in his past life? Can you tell me?"
System: "It is possible, but it requires 1,000 points."
fleeting time:"……"
"Why the rush? Didn't we agree to get engaged first?"
There's no other way but to delay it, even if it's just for a day!
Gu Minhang remained silent.
He couldn't find a way to talk to Liu Nian for a moment.
Was he supposed to tell her that she was his regret from his past life, something he wanted to make up for quickly in this one? Would Liu Nian believe him? Even if she did, what could he say? They were siblings in their past life! Was he supposed to say he had a sister complex? What would Liu Nian think of him then?
Although Liu Nian and he were not related by blood in their previous life, they were nominally siblings, and it was wrong of him to covet his own sister.
"Never mind, no rush. I just really want to marry you, I can't wait even a second longer."
He could have waited until she graduated from university to get married, but after the memories resurfaced, he couldn't stop thinking about how to get married quickly. Even in his dreams at night, he dreamed of marrying Liu Nian, a beautiful and dreamy scene.
Liu Nian breathed a sigh of relief and took his arm in hers.
"Since you're so eager to marry me, I can't keep you waiting too long. How about we get married after we graduate from university?"
