Chapter 163 His Sights Fell into Vain

People who share the same suffering seem to be able to empathize with each other more.

Chu Xu did not continue to persuade him, after all, he knew all the suffering Lin Du had suffered.

For him, Gu Yanchi is the love that he can never give up in his life, but when he stays with him, the pain of the past will always torment him.

Gu Nichi bit a cigarette and looked out the window dejectedly: "What is Chu Xu's father's attitude now?"

Shen Zhichu leaned against the window, his hand clenched, "I was forced to release Chu Xu, but I threatened to kill myself to stop him from being with me."

"The old man is really stubborn." Gu Niechi held the cigarette and exhaled a puff of smoke, but it was still difficult to hide the viciousness in his eyes, "Why not destroy him completely!"

Shen Zhichu's face was solemn. It was not that he had not thought about it, but he had to consider Chu Xu's psychological endurance: "Forget it, let's do this for now."

"Why? Are you planning to continue to fight with him without any status in the future?" Gu Nichi lightly lit the cigarette butt.

"Let's take it step by step. If you push him too hard, I'm afraid he can't bear it." Thinking of the scar on Chu Xu's wrist, Shen Zhichu's original plan to take down the Chu family in one fell swoop gave up.

"Don't you feel wronged?" Gu Nichi asked.

Shen Zhichu chuckled: "Haven't we survived all these years?"

"How about you? Did Lin Du forgive you?"

Gu Niechi frowned and looked into the distance: "How can I easily forgive so much pain?"

"My only wish now is that he can stay with me. As for the rest, just like you said, let's take our time."

Shen Zhichu smiled bitterly, not knowing whether to sympathize with Gu Xinchi or himself.

Zhuo Chengze pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing Gu Nichi, he looked disdainful and said, "Where have you been for so many days? I thought you were missing."

Shen Zhichu raised his eyebrows: "Maybe he went to atone for his sins."

Zhuo Chengze snorted disdainfully: "Serves him right. I warned him a long time ago, but he insisted on being stubborn. Now you feel better, don't you?"

There is nothing good in being unhappy and frowning.

Zhuo Chengze lay on the sofa in frustration, wailing bitterly: "Have you forgotten what day the day after tomorrow is?"

Gu Xichi and Shen Zhichu looked at each other, and they both looked at Zhuo Chengze, who had a melancholy face.

"I knew you two heartless people couldn't remember. The day after tomorrow is my birthday! How could you not even remember such an important day!" Zhuo Chengze was furious.

"Oh! I thought it was a big deal." Gu Nishi shrugged indifferently.

Zhuo Chengze was not convinced: "I don't care, my wife left me and my friends to go abroad, you have to accompany me, otherwise I won't let you live in peace the day after tomorrow."

"Your wife ran away, so you come to bother us?" Gu Nichi said with disgust.

"I don't care!" Zhuo Chengze slumped on the sofa.

Shen Zhichu shook his head: "I wonder if the patients in your hospital would consider transferring to another hospital if they see you, the dean, looking so unstable."

"I warn you, you can insult my personality, but you must never insult my knowledge." Zhuo Chengze was not convinced.

Gu Jinchi leaned back on the sofa, his head aching. He rubbed his brows and asked, "How do you want to live?"

Zhuo Chengze perked up when he heard this: "I'm in a bad mood and want to see the sea to relieve my depression. I wonder if Miss Gu can carefully design a birthday party for me?"

"..." Gu Nichi frowned speechlessly, "I'm your friend, not your father!"

"Fuck!" Zhuo Chengze frowned, "I am your love strategist. You are too heartless to treat me like this."

Gu Nichi nodded silently, the noise in his ears was loud.

Lin Du and Chu Xu walked out, and Gu Jinchi and Shen Zhichu stood up instantly, following their lovers with their eyes.

Zhuo Chengze curled his lips and missed his wife even more.

"Are you going back?" Gu Nichi walked over and naturally wanted to hold Lin Du's hand.

Lin Du dodged calmly: "Yeah."

Gu Yanchi stared at Lin Du's dodging hand, his own hand still frozen in the air. He raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Let's go."

Lin Du looked at Chu Xu and nodded at him.

Chu Xu understood the worry in Lin Du's eyes, and he responded with a chuckle.

"I didn't drive here, you take me back." Zhuo Chengze got up and walked to Lin Du's side, "Lin Du, you don't mind, right?"

Lin Du nodded cautiously: "I don't mind."

The three people left, and only the two people who hadn't been seen for a long time were left in the huge space.

Shen Zhichu walked closer, took Chu Xu's wrist, and gently stroked the scar on his wrist.

The pain was like a bottomless abyss, swallowing up everything in Shen Zhichu: "Does it hurt?"

Chu Xu lowered his eyes: "What can be felt is not considered pain."

Shen Zhichu paused, leaned down and hugged Chu Xu tightly: "Who are you punishing?"

"When you committed suicide, did you never think about how painful I was? Or was it because I was never in your plan, so you didn't care about my feelings at all."

Shen Zhichu sounded aggrieved and held Chu Xu a little tighter.

Chu Xu sighed deeply: "I am your bondage. Without me, you can be yourself again."

Shen Zhichu's body sank, and he buried his face in Chu Xu's neck with tears in his eyes: "And then? Without you, I can be myself again, but I will suffer for the rest of my life. Is this what you want to see?"

"Chu Xu, don't be so cruel."

Chu Xu closed his eyes and endured it, tears dripping onto Shen Zhichu's chest.

"I want to sit in the back with Lin Du." Zhuo Chengze happily opened the car door and got in, patting the seat next to him, "Lin Du, get in quickly."

Lin Du smiled shyly, and just as he was about to sit down, he was pulled into Gu Jinchi's arms.

He threw the car keys to Zhuo Chengze: "Go to the front and drive."

"Based on what?" Zhuo Chengze was dissatisfied.

Gu Ni Chi raised his eyebrows threateningly: "Otherwise, run back by yourself."

Zhuo Chengze swore a lot in a complaining tone and sat in the front seat reluctantly.

As soon as he got in the car, Gu Yanchi's eyes never left Lin Du.

He always felt like he couldn't look at him enough and wanted to keep looking at him.

Lin Du could naturally feel his fiery gaze, but he really didn't know how to respond to him.

Zhuo Chengze curled his lips in disdain: "Lin Du, why don't you take a look at him!"

"If you don't look at him, I feel like he's going to cry."

Lin Du was stunned and rubbed his hands awkwardly, lowering his head even more than before.

Gu Yinchi ignored Zhuo Chengze's teasing and focused all his attention on Lin Du.

He was expecting his gaze, but his sight was still disappointed.

Zhuo Chengze frowned and shook his head helplessly.

Gu Yanchi endured it secretly, and he warned himself not to act too hastily.

He knew that the pain he brought to Lin Du was not achieved overnight, and he should be more patient if he wanted to dissipate the pain.

Seeing Lin Du's thumb pinching his index finger, Gu Xinchi reached out and held his hand in his palm with heartache.

The fingertips lightly brushed over the place where the index finger was pinched, and each stroke was extremely gentle.
