Chapter 39 What About Love?
His mind was in a mess, and his body was in even worse condition. Lin Du leaned against a tree to slow down for a while, pounding his chest powerlessly, but the pain in his heart was not alleviated at all.
He now didn't know how to face Gu Xichi's deep affection. He was afraid that he was just in a momentary mood, and he was also afraid that he was just playing with him.
It was already past eleven when they arrived at the hospital. Lin Du patted his face and cheered himself up. As soon as he walked to the door, he saw Qin Chang wiping Lin Yue's face.
Tears welled up, and my dead heart was warmed again.
Hearing the noise, Qin Chang put down the towel in his hand, made a snoring gesture, and pulled Lin Du to sit on the bench outside: "Just fell asleep, and kept crying in pain before. It took a long time."
Lin Du was startled: "Where does it hurt?"
Patting Lin Du's hand, Qin Chang comforted him: "The doctor said it was the wound that hurt, and he has been given a painkiller."
She nodded blankly, her nose ached, and she held Qin Chang's hand: "Thank you, Qin Chang."
Qin Chang pouted and hugged Lin Du distressedly: "It's okay, we are friends, right?"
"By the way, it's already late, you should go back soon."
Qin Chang was worried because Lin Du looked like he might faint at any moment. If he left, what would happen to them, brother and sister?
"I'm here to accompany you. I'll be alone at home anyway." Qin Chang shrugged and leaned back in his chair. "By the way, you said before that you would tell me about you and Gu Cunchi when you have time. Tell me now."
Lin Du bit his lip, remained silent for a while, and let out a long sigh.
Telling Qin Chang about his relationship with Gu Yanchi meant that he would have to relive the pain again.
But he had kept these words in his heart for a long time, and he had never told anyone.
People are like this. It's fine if they don't say anything, but once they open their mouths, it's like an unstoppable flood. They always want to tell every little thing, as if they will no longer feel pain after saying it.
Qin Chang's tears rolled down his cheeks. He simply couldn't imagine how Lin Du had survived all these years.
He came from a broken family, his father didn't love him, his mother didn't care about him, he had a physical deformity, but he had to bear the responsibility of his younger sister's life.
I thought I had met true love, but it ended up ruining my entire life.
The most terrifying thing is that he actually had a child.
Who can bear such a fast-paced life?
Qin Chang covered his face. He didn't understand why so much pain would be inflicted on one person.
Lin Du smiled bitterly, tears blurring his vision. He thought that speaking out would make him feel better, but it didn't, it still hurt.
"Baby, how did you survive all these years?" Qin Chang held Lin Du's hand, feeling distressed.
Lin Du lowered his eyes, tears dripping onto his legs, instantly spreading, as if his pain was sweeping through his entire body at this moment: "I don't know, I just know that I have to hold on, for Lin Yue's sake."
"Does Gu Lianchi know about your physical condition?" Qin Chang carefully tested, fearing that he would upset Lin Du's already broken heart. "Does he know that you were pregnant with his child?"
Shaking his head, Lin Du frowned in pain: "I don't know, and I won't tell him."
Qin Chang wiped away his tears: "So what are you going to do in the future? I think he is still interested in you, you can't avoid him."
He shook his head blankly, his thoughts in a mess. Lin Du really didn't know what to do. He was more confused and helpless than ever before.
"Do you... still love him?" Qin Chang asked.
Lin Du was startled, and his body shook noticeably.
Do you still love her? He asked himself. The answer was what he was most reluctant to admit: he still loved her.
But, what about love? The ending is always predetermined.
"I don't know if I should say these words, but Lin Du, think about it, in fact, Gu Yanchi should be innocent, he was forced to go abroad by his father, and cut off all contact with you, it's not that he abandoned you." Qin Chang pursed his lips, "I'm not making excuses for him, I just feel it's a pity."
A deep sigh and a tightness in the chest.
"But we can't go back. We were just young and ignorant back then." Thinking of the previous encounters with Gu Lianchi and Su Wenlang, Lin Du lowered his eyes, "Besides, he already has someone by his side."
"Are you talking about Su Wenlang?" Qin Chang frowned and looked at Lin Du's puzzled face, "It's the big star Su Wenlang."
Lin Du shook his head. He didn't pay much attention to entertainment news and didn't know much about these stars: "I'm not sure."
"I heard that Su Wenlang has financial backers behind him, and that should be Gu Lianchi." Qin Chang approached Lin Du and whispered, "I've seen them going in and out of Free together before."
Qin Chang pouted and said with a sigh: "I don't accept it. Although he is innocent, he has not been affected by what happened before, but you..."
Lin Du smiled bitterly, maybe this is fate.
"But I don't think he and Su Wenlang are truly in love."
Lin Du looked at Qin Chang in confusion: "Why do you say that?"
Recalling that Gu Jinchi had said before that he had no love for Su Wenlang, but if they didn't love each other, why did they still want to be together?
"I'm just guessing. Who would like Su Wenlang's arrogant look?" Qin Chang pouted. "I've heard before that he acts like a big shot and bullies other actors everywhere."
Lin Du nodded. He had met Su Wenlang twice and he found him to be very arrogant every time.
"Baby, if... I mean if, Gu Yanchi is sincere to you, would you consider being with him?" Qin Chang stared into Lin Du's eyes, trying to get the most truthful answer.
Lin Du shook his head, his dim eyes showing no trace of emotion: "No."
"Why?" Qin Chang was puzzled. "Do you know how many people want to get close to Gu Xinchi? Besides... Lin Yue really needs money now. If you stay with him, you can at least save Lin Yue's life."
Lin Du was shocked, his beautiful eyes were filled with complicated feelings, he had never thought about this.
"I'm not asking you to sell yourself out, but I can see your feelings for Gu Yanchi. Since he's interested in you, why can't you be together?" Seeing Lin Du's panic, Qin Chang continued to persuade him, "Lin Du, be realistic. You can't support Lin Yue's life by yourself. Now you can't even solve her most basic survival problem."
Pinching his fingers in self-blame, Lin Du fell into endless torture.
"I'm sorry Lin Du, I know saying this may be a bit over the top, but I just feel sorry for you." Qin Chang rubbed his hands, "Don't blame me."
Slowly holding Qin Chang's hand, Lin Du knew that he had no ill intentions.
But he couldn't figure out Gu Yanchi's thoughts at all. After ten years, he already had someone else by his side. How could he choose to be with him without hesitation after meeting him?
He was unsure and never imagined that he would be with Gu Cunchi one day.
