Chapter 177: With him here, I have no regrets in this life.

After returning home, Gu Jinchi still stuck to Lin Du all the time.

He knew that his behavior was annoying, but he just couldn't control himself.

Lin Du couldn't help being stuck to him, so he had to push him down on the sofa and said, "Don't follow me anymore."

"Why?" Gu asked in a grievance.

Lin Du pursed his lips and said, "I'm at home and I can't run away. Why are you staring at me like that?"

Gu Nichi's brows tightened. Run? Lin Du really wanted to leave him.

He stood up suddenly and took Lin Du's hand.

Lin Du was confused: "What happened?"

Gu Xinchi said nothing, just looked at Lin Du with a wronged look on his face.

Lin Du sighed. He really couldn't stand it anymore. What was wrong with this man?

"How about this, if you have nothing to do go and accompany Xingxing, I'll cook some noodles for you, okay?" Lin Du was helpless, but he still had to coax her.

Gu Penchi nodded obediently and walked to Gu Xingxing with heavy steps.

He sat down, and Qiuqiu rushed over and went straight into his arms.

Gu Nichi patted Gu Xingxing and said, "Son, do you know how much of a jerk your father was?"

"Your father has done many unforgivable things and hurt your father Lin Du again and again..."

"Tell me, how can I make amends to soothe the pain and grievances he has suffered?"

"Don't say he hates me. I hate myself too."

"But even so, I don't want him to leave. I would rather he keep pretending to love me than accept him disappearing from my side."

"I...I'm a coward."

Seeing Lin Du coming over, Gu Yanchi wiped away his tears.

"Let's eat." Lin Du reached out and pulled Gu Yinchi up.

Lin Du glanced at Gu Xingxing and curled his lips: "Xingxing, don't be as clingy as your father. It's really annoying."

Gu Xichi endured it, glanced at Gu Xingxing, and then at Lin Du.

The people he loves are all here, but they are not here...

"Do you need me to feed you?" Lin Du looked at Gu Nichi who didn't move his chopsticks and kept staring at him.

"Is it okay?"

Lin Du chuckled: "Since you helped me move the flowers today, of course I can."

Lin Du sat down next to Gu Xinchi and blew on his face: "Open your mouth."

"tasty."

Lin Du curled his lips: "Oh? Didn't you say before that you wouldn't even eat dogs?"

Gu Xinchi was startled for a moment and lowered his eyes slightly.

He could remember a single angry remark of mine for so long, not to mention the ridiculous things I did ten years ago.

Seeing that Gu Nichi looked unhappy, Lin Du quickly explained, "I was just joking."

"Lin Du, will you stay with me forever?" Gu Nishi looked up at Lin Du, his eyes flashing with expectation and anxiety.

Lin Du subconsciously avoided his gaze and shook his head hesitantly: "A lifetime is too long, who can say for sure."

"If it weren't for Lin Yue, would you have left me a long time ago?" Gu Yinchi endured it, but he finally asked.

Even though he already had the answer, he still tried to get a different answer from Lin Du.

Lin Du put it down and rubbed his hands: "Yes."

"What is it?" Gu Nichi's voice trembled, "Lin Du, I don't understand."

Lin Du raised his head and looked into Gu Ni's panicked and uneasy eyes. He felt distressed, but he didn't want to lie to him.

"Gu Yanchi, if it weren't for Lin Yue, I would have chosen to leave without hesitation."

"I don't know where else I can go, but I just want to leave here and leave you."

Gu Nichi's whole body tensed up and got the expected answer.

He swallowed a bitter mouthful and tried to force out an ugly smile: "Lin Du, I'm not full yet."

Lin Du sighed lightly, and saw that Gu Xichi was deliberately avoiding the topic he had changed. His chest was also aching badly.

He knew that what he said might be too cruel, but the cost of deception was too high, and it was too tiring to keep making up for it with lies.

Gu was chewing noodles with an uneasy look in his eyes.

Lin Du tried not to look. He felt bad, but he could do nothing about it.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Lin Du took Gu Xinchi's hand and said, "Let me help you take a bath, otherwise your hand will be inconvenient."

"good."

Gu Yanchi followed behind Lin Du with a sad look in his eyes.

He tried his best but couldn't find a way to make Lin Du stay by his side wholeheartedly.

Lin Du was clearly before his eyes, yet he seemed so elusive that he couldn't catch him.

"Lie down obediently, keep your arms outside and don't let them touch the water." Lin Du coaxed him like a child and patted Gu Nichi's face.

He turned around, the corners of his mouth drooping.

Gu Xinchi seems to have lost a lot of weight. Has something happened to him recently? He seems like a completely different person.

He used to be a cold, aloof and proud son of heaven, but now he is a clingy, suffocating crybaby.

After they finished washing up, Gu Jinchi hugged Lin Du from behind. He buried his face in the crook of Lin Du's neck and asked in a slightly hoarse voice: "Lin Du, what should I do to make you stay by my side?"

Lin Du bit his lip. In the darkness, he stopped pretending: "But you've already done a lot."

"Really? But I still can't win your heart back..."

Lin Du sighed lightly. His heart had already been broken into pieces. How could it be saved?

In fact, his current living conditions are already very good and he is very content.

It's just that loving someone is too difficult and always ends up hurting. He no longer dares to try again.

"Lin Du, let's stay like this for the rest of our lives. No matter if you love me or not, no matter how much I love you, let's stay like this for the rest of our lives."

Gu Yanchi hugged Lin Du tightly and said, "It was my delusion to ask you to accept a sinner. I accept this result."

"But Lin Du, can you forget the pain? You can hate me, but I want you to live a happier life."

"After all... after all, you've been living such a tiring life for so many years. I feel bad for you."

Lin Du sighed, turned around and held up Gu's disdainful face.

"Gu Nienchi, you asked me if I wanted to leave you, and I said yes. I didn't lie to you."

"Likewise, I said I didn't hate you, and I didn't lie to you."

"As for me!" Lin Du pulled the corners of his mouth bitterly, "Although we have known each other for ten years, you don't know much about my life before. Life has smoothed out all my edges and corners. I don't even have the energy to hate anymore."

Gu Yanchi endured it secretly. He knew it now, but it was too late.

"Rather than hate, it's more appropriate to say regret."

"If you hadn't appeared in my world ten years ago, perhaps my life would be completely different."

"But there is no regret medicine in the world, and my life cannot be changed, so let it be."

Gu Anchi clenched his fists in guilt. Lin Du said it lightly, but he could hear too much helplessness in his words.

He had so much to say, but it was obviously meaningless.

He has to do it, to make up for it.

He is now like a man on trial, not knowing when he will die.

But no matter how Lin Du would judge him, he would accept it with pleasure. He only hoped that Lin Du could stay by his side forever.

With him here, I have no regrets in this life.
