Chapter 162: Still in love?

The private doctor gave Lin Du an injection and signaled Gu Yanchi not to disturb him and let him rest.

Gu Niechi lay on his side beside Lin Du, took his hand and placed it on his face: "I'm sorry, Lin Du..."

Lin Du woke up and stared at the ceiling blankly, his eyes hurting badly.

He thought it was all a dream, but the pain was so real, how could it be a dream?

Turning his head to the side, looking at Gu Yinchi who was curled up beside him, Lin Du wanted to touch him lightly with his fingertips, but finally withdrew his hand.

Arriving in front of Gu Xingxing's little house, Lin Du squatted down with his knees hugged: "Baby, I'm sorry to come to see you so late."

The ball came running from a distance and stopped in front of Lin Du.

Lin Du was shocked. Is this the puppy he picked up earlier? How come it is so fat? And didn’t Gu Nichi say it was lost?

Qiuqiu rubbed Lin Du's legs. Lin Du picked it up, and it kept crawling into his arms as before.

The servant ran over and nodded politely to Lin Du: "Hello, Mr. Lin."

"Who are you?"

"I was arranged by Mr. Gu to come here to look after Qiuqiu."

Lin Du was startled: "Qiuqiu? Has it been lost before?"

"No! Mr. Gu took great care of it, how could he let it get lost? Every time he came back, he would hold it and sit next to the stars for a long time." The servant sighed, "After you left, Mr. Gu took good care of the things you left behind. Look how beautiful your flowers are."

Lin Du hugged the ball tightly and fell silent.

In fact, deep down in his heart, he would rather be used and schemed against by others, so that when he leaves in the future, he will be able to leave with determination.

Gu Yinchi touched the place beside him in a daze, and he suddenly woke up.

"Lin Du!"

Gu Nichi kept shouting as he rushed downstairs, and only when he saw Lin Du sitting next to Gu Xingxing holding the ball did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Coming to Lin Du's side, Gu Nichi hugged him from behind and said, "Have you been awake for a long time?"

Lin Du shook his head and said nothing.

Qiuqiu jumped out of Lin Du's arms, rubbed Gu Jinchi's feet, and wagged its tail happily.

Gu Xinchi chuckled: "You are also very happy to see Lin Du, right?"

Qiuqiu seemed to understand what Gu Penchi said and was spinning around happily.

Holding Lin Du tightly, Gu Jinchi whispered softly in his ear: "Lin Du, I'm not trying to impress you with these. I just want to tell you how much I missed you when you were away."

"I won't force you to forgive me, because I haven't done enough and I will continue to work hard."

"So Lin Du, can you give me some time?"

Lin Du was silent, but his heart was in turmoil.

The phone rang. It was Shen Zhichu: "Is Lin Du there?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Gu Ni subconsciously hugged Lin Du tightly.

"Chu Xu wants to see him."

Gu Nichi frowned and said, "Chu Xu's father finally let him go?"

Hearing Chu Xu's name, Lin Du looked at Gu Xinchi, wanting to know what had happened to him.

Gu Yinchi raised the corners of his mouth somewhat bitterly. Is it possible that anyone could arouse his concern except himself?

"Chu Xu wants to see you." Gu Jinchi smoothed out Lin Du's hair and rubbed his ears.

Lin Du nodded, indicating that he also wanted to see Chu Xu.

Ever since he lost contact with Chu Xu last time, he knew something must have happened to him.

"Okay, I'll take you there." Gu Xinchi gently stroked the side of Lin Du's face with his thumb, and looked down at him, the deep affection in his eyes flowing out uncontrollably.

When they arrived at Free, Gu Lianchi brought Lin Du to Shen Zhichu's private place. Shen Zhichu stood in front of the French window with a serious face, smoking silently.

Gu Yanchi was reluctant to let go of Lin Du: "Go ahead, I'll wait for you here."

Lin Du walked towards Chu Xu, and the two looked at each other in silence, with only the pain in their eyes expressing their feelings at the moment.

"You've lost weight."

They both said in unison, curling their lips in bitterness.

Lin Du felt so distressed when he saw Chu Xu, who had lost so much weight after not seeing him for several days.

Chu Xu picked up a glass of water and took a sip. Lin Du was quick to notice several scratches on his wrist.

He suddenly grabbed his hand and stroked it with his fingertips, feeling distressed: "You..."

Chu Xu pulled the corner of his mouth: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore."

"What on earth happened? Why would you hurt yourself?" Lin Du couldn't bear to watch any longer.

Chu Xu sighed helplessly: "Shen Zhichu and Gu Lianchi teamed up to destroy the goal my father had finally climbed up to. He couldn't save them and could only take it out on me."

"When I resisted, he threatened me with my mother."

"He imprisoned me, and I couldn't stand it, so I wanted to end it all by dying, but my father told me that if I died, my mother would also..."

Chu Xu smiled bitterly and rubbed his hands helplessly: "I'm really tired."

Lin Du sighed, a gloomy mood lingering around him: "Then why did your father suddenly let you out?"

Chu Xu shook his head: "Of course he is not happy, but there is nothing he can do."

"The Chu family has been devoured by Shen Zhichu and Gu Lianchi, and there is little left. Now the Chu family is just an empty shell."

"In order to save his ridiculous face, he had to ask Shen Zhichu for peace."

Lin Du frowned: "Does that mean that you and Shen Zhichu can be together?"

Chu Xu lowered his eyes and touched the scratch on his wrist unconsciously: "He let me out only because he was forced to do so, but his bottom line remains unchanged. If I stay with Shen Zhichu, he will take my mother with him to death..."

Lin Du was shocked. Why would a father force his child to be like this?

"Lin Du won't lie to you. I can't stand any more torment now." Chu Xu sighed, "Shen Zhichu knows me best, so he didn't mention being with him anymore."

"We... are like this." Chu Xu's unwillingness turned into a slight shudder.

Lin Du lowered his head and said nothing. It was such a pity that lovers could not end up together.

But no one can endure such pain, and perhaps this is the best outcome for them right now.

"I heard what Shen Zhichu said about you. I'm sorry I didn't answer your call. I'm sorry Lin Du..."

Lin Du held Chu Xu's hand and said, "I know you didn't answer my call because you were delayed by something. I don't blame you, I just feel sorry for you."

"What are you going to do next?" Chu Xu asked.

Lin Du shook his head, he didn't know either.

"I heard from Shen Zhichu that Gu Yanchi really has true feelings for you. Maybe he didn't realize his love for you before."

Lin Du pulled the corners of his mouth, but finally fell down helplessly: "But I...but I dare not love again."

Chu Xu frowned and held Lin Du's hand distressedly: "You mean, you will leave Gu Nienchi, right?"

"How can I leave? Lin Yue can't leave without his help, so how can I leave?" Lin Du smiled helplessly, "Unless he lets me leave one day, I can only live beside him like a puppet."

"Do you... still love him?" Chu Xu couldn't help but ask.

Lin Du looked out the window, lowering his eyes slightly: "Love, and it has never changed."

"Then why not try to give each other a chance?"

Lin Du sighed: "Chu Xu, do you know? The better he treats me, the more afraid I am. I want to believe in his love, but I can't control the fear deep in my heart."

“This torture is too painful.”

Chu Xu pursed his lips and stopped trying to persuade her. He understood this kind of pain too well.
