What Su Xingran said next struck him like a thunderbolt. He heard Su Xingran say that it was her master's wife who gave her a second chance. Connecting Huang Zhenhua's and Su Xingran's words, Gu Moli arrived at a heartbreaking answer.
His wife, Su Xingran, had died once before, but she had been reborn. In her previous life, his wife had been murdered, and Gu Moli wanted nothing more than to kill the murderer immediately.
To avoid disturbing the master and disciple inside, Gu Moli stood for a while, then quietly left. He washed his face and returned to the living room as if nothing had happened.
Not long after, Su Xingran and Huang Zhenhua returned to the living room. Su Xingran's eyes were still red. The Su couple noticed and asked Su Xingran what was wrong with her eyes. Su Xingran simply made up an excuse to cover it up.
In the afternoon, Su Xingran and Gu Moli returned to the Gu family home. Gu Moli remained quiet the entire way, which Su Xingran found a bit strange, as Gu Moli was usually not like this when he was with her.
Back home, Gu Moli pulled Su Xingran upstairs to their room. As soon as the door closed, Gu Moli grabbed Su Xingran and held her tightly in his arms. Gu Moli felt a deep, agonizing pain in his heart. He was suddenly afraid that it was all a dream. He feared that when he woke up, Su Xingran would disappear.
Su Xingran didn't understand what was going on, but she could sense that Gu Moli was in a bad mood. Just as she was about to ask Gu Moli what was wrong, her mouth was covered. Gu Moli wasn't gentle as usual; instead, he was demanding things frantically. Su Xingran felt her lips go numb and were also a little painful.
Su Xingran tried to push Gu Moli away, but couldn't budge him. Instead, Gu Moli grabbed her hand and pinned it behind the door. She didn't know how much time had passed before Gu Moli finally pulled away, burying his face in Su Xingran's neck, breathing heavily.
After a while, Gu Moli finally raised his head, his eyes red and teary. Su Xingran looked at Gu Moli like this and couldn't help but feel sorry for him. She didn't know what had happened to Gu Moli to make him look so sad.
Gu Moli looked at Su Xingran and said, "I heard it. I heard your conversation with your uncle. I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I just saw that you hadn't come back for so long, and when I went to look for you, I heard you crying. I was worried about you, so I went over."
At this point, Gu Moli's tears finally fell. He continued with difficulty, "Ranran, I'm so scared, so very scared. Is all of this just a dream? Will you disappear when I wake up? Where is the person who hurt you? Tell me, I'll go find him and settle the score."
Su Xingran hadn't expected this; it turned out she'd overheard her conversation with her master. Gu Moli's first reaction wasn't absurdity, but fear and worry—fear that he would disappear.
Su Xingran gently patted Gu Moli's hand and said, "Moli, don't worry or be afraid. I will always be here. The person who hurt me is gone. She has received the punishment she deserved. Everything is in the past."
Gu Moli received reassurance, but he still couldn't let go of the worry. The thought of Su Xingran being murdered at such a young age, before even reaching adulthood, filled him with anguish. But since Su Xingran said it was all in the past, he could only accept it as such.
