After returning home, the two had their own thoughts.
After taking a shower, Gu Shen lay on the bed. When he lifted the bed, he saw a cat lying lazily on his bed. As if sensing his movement, the cat lifted its eyelids and opened its eyes.
"Have you finished showering?"
Her tone was languid, and her dazed look softened Gu Shen's heart.
He sat on the bed, staring at Chu Qingxuan on the bed. Chu Qingxuan slowly stood up, then squatted on the bed, raising her head to look at Gu Shen's phoenix eyes.
"Hmm, can you speak again now?"
"Yeah, I don't know how it happened, but I was able to talk again just now."
Actually, it took a long time of talking to the system before it was possible.
Gu Shen chuckled, "Congratulations."
Chu Qingxuan stared at Gu Shen with her big eyes, her tone serious, "Gu Shen, I want to have a serious talk with you."
Gu Shen's heart skipped a beat; he roughly knew what Chu Qingxuan wanted to talk to him about.
He composed himself, smiled slightly, and agreed to Chu Qingxuan's request.
"As you probably know, I am not human, and I will leave this place sooner or later. We are not from the same world to begin with."
"Gu Shen, you've been so good to me. I don't want to hurt you, and I don't want to deceive your feelings."
"I can only promise to repay your kindness as much as I can within my limited time."
Gu Shen heard everything Chu Qingxuan said and he already understood what Chu Qingxuan meant.
This means that no matter what happens, Chu Qingxuan will not have feelings for him.
My heart felt like it was being torn apart, and I could hardly breathe.
Gu Shen's expression grew increasingly grim, and Chu Qingxuan pursed her lips, feeling quite uncomfortable as well.
She never imagined that Gu Shen would like her.
After the God-Slaying Array, she had lost all love; she would never fall in love with anyone.
"Chuchu, you must be sleepy. I'll take you back to bed."
Gu Shen's voice was low and hoarse, as if he was suppressing something.
Chu Qingxuan opened her mouth, but thought to herself, now is not the time to speak.
She let Gu Shen carry her back to the room, and neither Chu Qingxuan nor Gu Shen slept well that night.
When he saw Gu Shen the next day, all the emotions on his face vanished.
When he saw Chu Qingxuan, he smiled, a gentle smile on his face.
Like a gentle spring breeze.
"morning."
Seeing that Gu Shen was in a good mood, Chu Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief.
At the dinner table, Gu Shen put down his chopsticks and said, "Chu Chu, I will still love you. I believe I will wait until the day you accept me."
Chu Qingxuan's heart trembled, and she softly replied. After that, Gu Shen kept his promise and continued to love Chu Qingxuan, which never changed.
However, Gu Shen ultimately did not live to see the day when Chu Qingxuan agreed. After Mo Han and Bai Ruizhi graduated from university, they decided to get engaged, and Gu Shen sincerely wished them well.
On the way back, Gu Shen thought of Chu Qingxuan, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Suddenly, Gu Shen felt his heart skip a beat, and his brows furrowed, as if something had happened.
At this moment, the system reminded Chu Qingxuan: [Host, the male lead and female lead are together. You should leave.]
Chu Qingxuan paused. Was she leaving now?
[Can't I say goodbye to Gu Shen?]
[It's best not to.]
Let's go then...
Chu Qingxuan silently approached Gu Shen's side and then silently left.
When Gu Shen returned, the kitten ran towards her, reverting to its original form and becoming a simple-minded cat. Gu Shen lowered her eyes for a long time, then uttered the name she often called, "Chu Chu..."
Gu Shen never married in his life, and there was always a gray and white short-eared cat by his side, which he would gently stroke on the cat's head.
The kitten would transform into Chu Qingxuan's appearance and accompany Gu Shen every day.
She simply did not agree to marry Gu Shen.
What Chu Qingxuan may never know is that the mark she left on Gu Shen's heart is indelible, etched deep within his soul.
The elderly Gu Shen stroked the gray-white kitten beside him with his slender fingers. "Chu Chu, you should leave after I'm gone."
The kitten that had been replaced by Chuchu transformed into a young girl, smiling and nodding at him, tears streaming down her face as she hugged Gu Shen and sobbed softly.
After Chu Qingxuan left, she was copied and placed next to Gu Shen, staying by his side.
She shared Chu Qingxuan's feelings for Gu Shen, so she preferred to stay with Gu Shen rather than agree to get married.
But they adopted a brother and sister, and they live happily ever after.
With his white hair, Gu Shen closed his eyes and gently patted Chu Qingxuan's back. They were destined to part ways eventually.
The moment Gu Shen breathed his last, a golden light burst forth from his body and shot into the sky.
