Chapter 215 Destiny
In the following year, in between Su Qianqian's busy filming, Gu Chengyu seemed to want to bring all the beauty in the world to her.
He took her to see the fjord sparkling in the sun, the first rays of dawn on the top of the towering white snow-capped mountains, the glaciers in Antarctica, the aurora in the Arctic, and held her in his arms under the starry sky, waiting for the meteor shower to streak across the sky.
He would book out the entire opera house for her to listen to a special concert, take her to dive into the deep sea to swim with whales, and take a hot air balloon to overlook the African grasslands...
He patiently accompanied her to experience all the extreme romances.
During the breaks in their journeys, or on warm nights at Genting Apartments, he would hold her in his arms and casually tell her about the principles of business games, the unpredictable nature of human nature, and the key to maintaining a family.
He explained things in a simple and easy-to-understand way, and Su Qianqian listened attentively. However, she was still young and had been protected too well, so she blinked her clear almond-shaped eyes, confused and not quite understanding many of the deeper things.
Gu Chengyu did not force her, but just rubbed the top of her head, integrated the principle into the actual things she encountered later, and taught her little by little subtly.
However, for a whole year, he never mentioned the word marriage again.
He never asked her if she wanted to have a child of their own.
I just often whispered in her ear: Qianqian, can you like me a little more?
He was always so insecure.
Although Su Qianqian occasionally had a hint of doubt, she was immersed in his meticulous love and increasingly busy acting career and did not think too much about it.
What no one knew was that Gu Chengyu had secretly selected a young boy with a look of unyielding tenacity from among his father's group of illegitimate children of various identities, brought him back to the Gu headquarters, and personally taught him.
No one knew what a difficult negotiation he had with his parents, which finally made Gu Zhenting and Mrs. Gu, who always valued him, acquiesce to his unorthodox arrangement.
The fantasy drama starring Su Qianqian last year was unsurprisingly a huge hit, and people on the streets were talking about the tough female goddess.
She won the Best Actress award in one fell swoop, becoming the youngest Best Actress in S country in nearly a hundred years, and was the talk of the town.
Everyone is speculating that this new Best Actress will take advantage of the opportunity to enter the film industry this year and reach another peak.
But her weakness came so suddenly.
Just three days after her twentieth birthday, she collapsed weakly.
The person who was full of energy the day before is now rapidly losing his vitality.
Gu Chengyu stayed by her bedside, holding her hand tightly, and never left her side.
His usually cold and noble face now only showed deep powerlessness.
He murmured over and over again, like a plea, or like a final obsession: "Qianqian, can you please like me a little more..."
Su Qianqian leaned weakly in his arms, feeling the warmth from his chest. She raised her little hand and stroked his face, her heart filled with reluctance.
She already liked him so much that it hurt her heart.
She also felt that he loved her more and more deeply than she loved him.
But why? Why wouldn't his favorability be full?
She seemed...really dying.
But she really couldn't bear to leave. She couldn't bear to leave the world he had shown her, and she couldn't bear to leave the man who had spoiled her to the core.
In her heart, she summoned her last remaining willpower: [System? Am I dying?]
After a brief silence, the long-unheard little voice rang out, carrying a heavy and sad tone:
[Yes, Qianqian.]
At this point, System Qingyu no longer wanted to hide it from her: [In fact, Gu Chengyu's favorability towards you has long been full, and has even overflowed for a long, long time...]
[However, Qianqian, the flow of the luck of the child of luck must be recognized by the heart knot, and only after the death calamity, it can be shared with you and truly maintain your vitality.]
[And the Heart Knot believes that love is a two-way thing, so you need to like him very much as well. ]
[Your love value is just one point short...]
Su Qianqian didn't know that when Qingyu said this, his small green bellyband was already stained with blood. It was the punishment given to him by the rules of the small world.
But he didn't show any abnormality in front of her.
Su Qianqian just felt confused, with grievance and powerlessness surging in her heart.
She herself didn't know how to like him more.
Obviously, this is the greatest love she could give in her two lifetimes.
She couldn't even imagine what a stronger emotion would be like.
Qingyu looked at the pink light band that was stuck at 99%, and then looked at the cyan light band next to it that was already full and even continuously emitting cyan light, trying to fill the pink gap. He was anxious but had no idea what to do.
At this moment, Gu Chengyu, who was hugging her tightly, suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice: "Its name is Qingyu. It lives in a small green ball of light. It is a very cute little doll."
"If there's a chance in the future, I'll take you to meet him."
Su Qianqian was startled and looked up at him in surprise. Her voice was weak, but still so ethereal and pleasant:
"You know?"
Gu Chengyu lowered his head and kissed her forehead, his eyes bitter: "I know."
"A year ago, I knew you were from a place called Blue Star. I knew you came here to capture me, and I also knew you desperately wanted to survive."
He tightened his arms, his voice filled with humble pleading: "But Qianqian, your capture mission has already been completed. Can you let me capture you as well?"
"Let me live in the deepest part of your heart, okay?"
Su Qianqian had so many questions. When did he know?
How much did she know? Why could she hear the conversation between the system and her?
However, her strength was rapidly fading, and even opening her mouth became difficult.
Consciousness began to blur.
In the end, she suddenly didn't want to ask anymore.
In any case, these two years were already a stolen fortune for her.
She was very happy, really happy, to have met him and been cherished by him like this.
She used up her last bit of strength to caress his handsome and noble eyebrows and told him: "Gu Chengyu, I like you."
These are her most sincere words.
"I know." Gu Chengyu's eyes were red. Feeling her love, he suddenly wasn't afraid anymore.
The unknown energy in his body poured out and injected into her body, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea.
Su Qianqian seemed to have regained some strength.
She spoke haltingly: "At first, I really hated you. I hated that you had so many women."
"Later, I pinched my nose and forced myself to like you, because I missed you so much. If I didn't give my heart to you, you definitely wouldn't like me."
She gasped weakly, tears streaming down her face, "But later on, I really fell in love with you..."
"I love it..."
"I want to live, but I don't know how to maximize my favorability..."
"I understand." Gu Chengyu kissed away her tears, his heart aching.
"I know you tried your best, my Qianqian, you have done very well..."
At this moment, Gu Chengyu's arm, which was holding her, began to become transparent. Starting from the fingertips, it gradually turned into tiny points of light and dissipated into the air.
Su Qianqian hadn't reacted yet, staring blankly at his gradually disappearing wrist and arm...
Gu Chengyu looked at her deeply, as if he wanted to carve her appearance into the deepest part of his soul, and left his last words with endless regret:
"I'm sorry, Qianqian...Gu Chengyu is a coward."
Because he was a coward, he couldn't bear to see her die in his arms, so he chose to close his eyes first.
Even though he knew that without his forceful support, she could only live a few more seconds.
"Gu Chengyu——!" Su Qianqian used up her last bit of strength to call out his name.
He completely disappeared, and after a few seconds, she finally closed her almond-shaped eyes, which he loved so much.
