I am speechless.

Star stared at Gu Qichen in a daze, as if he couldn't believe what was happening.

The next moment, tears flowed.

"Long-lasting love..."

I wanted to smile, but as soon as the corners of my mouth moved, it felt as if every open wound on my body was moved as well.

Gu Qichen forced a smile that was uglier than crying, and said slowly and hoarsely: "Another year has passed. I have liked you... for 17 years."

Star's tears fell faster.

Last year on New Year's Eve, she said, "Gu Qichen, let's let each other go, okay? I'll find someone I want to marry, and you find someone you like and your mother approves of. Let's let each other go, okay?"

He said, Lu Changqing, I only like you.

How many 17 years can a person have in his life? They met each other in the first 17 years.

The second 17 years they loved each other deeply.

In the future, there will be a third, a fourth... and many more 17 years.

"Love, don't cry..."

He slowly raised his arm, as if he wanted to wipe Star's tears. Gu Qichen said with distressed eyes: "It's all my fault. From now on, I won't let you cry again!"

Whether it is the tears of family affection or the tears of love, there will be no more.

Unable to find Star, Gu Qichen rushed to one dangerous place after another with a completely dead heart, thinking that this was how his life would end.

He let himself go, and he let her go.

Just like that... it's over!

But when death came, Gu Qichen realized that he regretted it! He didn't want to die!

He wanted to live a good life, make her laugh, make her angry, walk with her, take her to see the stars, or walk hand in hand on the beach.

Several years later, he and she were holding hands with a little kid.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a boy or a girl, the little one sweetly calls him dad and Star mom.

The three of them lived a happy life, just like what was said in the fairy tale.

Every part of his body was burning with pain, but when he finally managed to hold Star's hand, Gu Qichen felt that the pain was nothing.

“Don’t cry…”

After holding her hand and slowly touching her face, Gu Qichen smiled and said, "I'm not dead..."

As soon as he said the word "die", he met Star's wet eyes. Gu Qichen paused and changed his words: "I have suffered a lot in love in the first half of my life. God will not let anything happen to me because I love you so wholeheartedly. Don't worry, don't cry, okay?"

Star nodded, wiped her tears, and said viciously: "Pray hard, pray that God really has eyes, if you are disfigured and become ugly, I don't want you!"

Gu Qichen was stunned.

In the last moment before he lost consciousness, he rushed forward to protect the hostage.

It seems like he landed face first?

Gu Qichen felt a dull pain in his nose and his heart tightened. Before he could utter a word, someone else spoke before him.

“Ah…oh…”

There was a soft movement in the waist and abdomen, accompanied by an ah ah oh oh sound, which interrupted Gu Qichen's thoughts and also took away Star's attention.

I saw Star pick up the kicking little ball and turn around to feed him.

Gu Qichen: ???

Finished!

Or, he is already dead and what he sees now is just an illusion.

Or, he was dreaming.

Yes, it must be a dream! Only in a dream would Star cry like that.

Only in his dreams can his wish of having a wife, children and a warm bed come true.

Yes, it must be a dream! Thinking of this, Gu Qichen's heart tumbled into a cold abyss.

Looking back again, Gu Qichen blinked and was stunned.
