Gu Yixian carried the herbs into the kitchen, gently fanning herself with a fan. Gazing at the steaming medicine stove in front of her, Gu Yixian was lost in thought, her mind wandering.
Just as she was lost in thought, a loud crashing sound of bottles breaking came from inside the room, followed by the sound of doors opening and closing.
Gu Yixian was startled, and only then did she remember that there was someone else in her room. She immediately got up and ran back to her room.
Upon entering, she saw shattered bottles scattered all over the floor, along with faint traces of blood on them. Looking towards the door, she was struck by the glaring bloody footprints on the ground. Gu Yixian immediately turned pale with fright, crying out, "Gu Liyan... Gu Liyan!"
Gu Yixian hurriedly followed the bloody footprints and went out. She hadn't gone far when she saw the white-clad youth with a furrowed brow, a ferocious and painful expression on his face, and staggering forward.
He walked barefoot, letting the pebbles sting his soles. Every step he took left a bloody footprint on the ground, looking like a blooming rose, incredibly beautiful!
Gu Yixian watched Gu Liyan's retreating figure, her fists clenching unconsciously. His back carried a sense of loneliness, desolation, and helplessness, causing her heart to ache and ache...
Gu Yixian's eyes reddened slightly. She gritted her teeth and shouted loudly at Gu Liyan's back, "Gu Liyan!"
Upon hearing Gu Yixian's call, Gu Liyan trembled and stood motionless.
"Gu Liyan... Gu Liyan..." Gu Yixian choked back tears as she softly called out Gu Liyan's name.
She desperately wanted to ask him why he was leaving. Why could he so casually choose to leave?
Why... won't he even glance at me...?
With his back to Gu Yixian, Gu Liyan didn't know how to start a conversation. However, he firmly believed that he shouldn't continue entangled with Gu Yixian, so...
"Gu Yixian, we are destined to be apart, so why should we continue to entangle ourselves..."
Hearing Gu Liyan's words, Gu Yixian pursed her lips, tears welling up in her eyes. However, this did not mean she would not stop Gu Liyan from leaving. She slowly approached Gu Liyan from behind and softly asked, "Gu Liyan, do you... really have no feelings for me at all?"
Gu Liyan trembled. He really didn't know how to answer Gu Yixian. "You don't feel anything? That's not true!"
He had mistaken Gu Yixian for Hua Baixian many times, and he even considered giving up Hua Baixian this time to protect the innocent and naive Gu Yixian...
But……
He really didn't want to be a burden to her...
Just as Gu Liyan was feeling reluctant to part with her, Gu Yixian suddenly hugged him from behind. Feeling Gu Yixian's body temperature, Gu Liyan's heart trembled violently.
She spoke softly, “Gu Liyan, do you know? I’ve always been afraid of you. I was scared from the first moment I saw you. My master said that handsome men in this world are not worth entrusting one’s life to, because she was abandoned by someone as perfect as you.”
Gu Liyan felt Gu Yixian's body trembling. "So I'm also afraid of getting too entangled with you and being unable to let go, and in the end you'll abandon me, leaving me to remember you, wait for you, until the end of my life!"
"Gu Yixian, I..."
"Please let me finish!" Gu Yixian suddenly shouted.
Gu Liyan immediately pursed his lips and lowered his head.
"When I saw your true form, I was so scared I almost suffocated!" Gu Yixian gritted her teeth and said, "My mother was called a fox spirit, and foxes are filthy beings! So, at that moment, I hated you, rejected you, and even... even wanted to ignore whether you lived or died!"
Gu Liyan opened his mouth as if to say something, but was interrupted again by Gu Yixian. "But even though you can't see my face clearly, and can't see beauty or ugliness, you still put the jade hairpin in my hair... Perhaps you don't know, but your gaze at that time, your tone of voice at that time... were so gentle that it was hard for me to refuse your request!"
"The reason I fed you the drugs you didn't like afterward was to save you, and also to test you, to find out if you had any other intentions towards me... Who knew I would make such a big mistake, mixing the aphrodisiac with poison, and accidentally spilling the poison, causing you to be poisoned!"
Gu Yixian clutched Gu Liyan's sleeve, trembling all over. "I've been punished. You've been poisoned by me, yet I've been conquered by you..."
"Gu Liyan, I know my actions will disgust you and seem despicable, but I... I really can't live without you anymore! At least... don't leave me before I give birth to your child!"
Upon hearing Gu Yixian's words, Gu Liyan trembled. She said...
His child?
Could it be...?
Gu Liyan turned his head away. He couldn't see Gu Yixian's expression, but he could sense that Gu Yixian was more helpless, more in pain, and more heartbroken than he was...
“Gu Liyan…” Gu Yixian choked out, “Xiao Li, please don’t go…”
Gu Liyan stood there, stunned. Why did her use of the word "Xiao Li" sound so familiar...?
And the hug from behind just now, the warmth it brought him was so familiar...
She looks exactly like the girl who used to hug him from behind!
“Gu… Yixian…” Gu Liyan swallowed hard and spoke softly.
“Gu Liyan.” Gu Yixian looked up at the boy who was a head taller than her.
Just then, she saw Gu Liyan close his eyes and raise his hand to touch her face.
Gu Liyan touched her face, and cold tears streamed down her cheeks. He subconsciously wiped away the tears from Gu Yixian's face.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Liyan touched her eyebrows and eyes...
