"I want to end this," Zhou Yue said softly. "I know Gu Yunzheng is a good person, but I can't give him the result he wants so quickly. I don't want to hold him back."
"In any relationship, you should prioritize your own feelings. There are so many good people in this world. You can't wrong yourself just because the other person is a good person. You are a good person too, and you haven't done anything wrong."
Liang Guiying comforted her, "If you're having trouble speaking up, I'll help you."
"No need, I'll handle this myself."
Liang Guiying believed that Zhou Yue could handle it well.
In fact, Zhou Yue handled it very well; she seemed completely unaffected.
In contrast, Gu Yunzheng looked much more haggard and spoke even less, but he was still the same as before, always coming to play with Zhou Xiaonian and tutoring the little girl with her homework.
No one had told Zhou Xiaonian that Zhou Yue and Gu Yunzheng had broken up, but the girl was perceptive and discovered it after only a few days of observation.
She asked Liang Guiying sadly, "Uncle Gu is so good, Mom really doesn't want Uncle Gu anymore?"
Liang Guiying sighed: "Niannian, shall we let Mom make the choice herself?"
Zhou Xiaonian waited and waited for her mother to tell her one day that she wanted to marry Uncle Gu, but she waited for a whole semester and still didn't get any good news.
Instead, they received news that the two were going on another mission.
The city was flooded, and the roads and bridges were submerged, preventing rescue personnel from entering. The only option was to send the air force team to make an instrument landing first to assess the situation.
When Liang Guiying received the news, Zhou Yue had already boarded a helicopter bound for the disaster area.
She reads newspapers and watches TV every day, trying to learn more about the disaster area. She tried calling the ice cream parlor and the airport living area, but couldn't get through.
Jiangcheng is like an isolated island; no one can be contacted.
Liang Guiying was very anxious, but she didn't want to show it in front of Zhou Xiaonian. However, Zhou Xiaonian had his own way of knowing—when the school called on everyone to donate to the disaster area, he mentioned how serious the disaster was in Jiangcheng.
"Many houses were flooded, and many people died." Zhou Xiaonian cried, "Grandma, will Mom and Uncle Gu die?"
"No, Mom and Uncle Gu are so capable, they definitely won't die."
That's what they said, but after more than ten days without any news, Liang Guiying was very worried.
After thinking it over, she took the initiative to call the Zhou family and inquire about Zhou Yue's whereabouts.
The Zhou family said, "We are also closely monitoring the situation in Jiangcheng. We are currently unable to contact Zhou Yue, but the only thing we can confirm is that she is safe."
Zhou Yue is indeed safe, but the situation is somewhat awkward.
She ran into her ex-husband, Zheng Fangshu, in the disaster area.
Zheng Fangshu was trapped in a residential building and was on the verge of death. Zhou Yue and Gu Yunzheng went to rescue him.
After rescuing the person, they discovered it was Zheng Fangshu.
Zheng Fangshu grabbed her arm and cried, "Zhou Yue, is that you, Zhou Yue? I never thought I'd see you again in this lifetime!"
"Zhou Yue, I was wrong. Is there any chance for us to be together?"
"Zhou Yue, you are Niannian's mother, and I am Niannian's father. We are a family. Can we continue to be a family?"
Zhou Yue patted his shoulder: "I know you regret it, but regret is useless. I, Zhou Yue, don't go back to what I didn't want to do."
Zheng Fangshu burst into tears, sobbing as he recounted how sweet they were when they were dating and when they first got married. In no time, everyone around them knew that Zhou Yue and he had been husband and wife, and they cast gossipy glances at them.
"Didn't anyone tell you? Zhou Yue and I are already married." Gu Yunzheng suddenly said, "Please let go of my wife's hand. We are rescue team members and we have to go save others."
Zheng Fangshu couldn't accept it and continued to wail. As he cried, he felt ashamed and thought he had no will to live, so he lunged at Gu Yunzheng: "You stole my wife, I'll fight you to the death!"
