Gu Hanzhi's perspective
My name is Gu Hanzhi, and my life... is bitter.
Elementary school was probably my happiest time. Sunlight streamed through the classroom window, falling on my desk and casting a shadow on it. Back then, I smiled genuinely, unsure of what storms lay ahead.
Everything changed in my second year of middle school. My mother was hit by a runaway truck and never woke up again. My father became devastated, and our family felt like its backbone had been torn apart. I began studying like crazy, as if only in books could I find a glimmer of peace.
I don't know when it started, but I became the target of bullying. They called me names, saying I was a bitch and didn't deserve good grades. At first, I was very concerned. Why were they doing this to me? What had I done wrong? Then, as the injuries increased, I just got used to it.
In my third year of junior high, they went even further. Just because the school hunk looked at me, they dragged me into an alley and beat me up. Just then, someone appeared—Shen Zhihe. He stopped the fight, but I knew it was only temporary. Even if it stopped this time, there would be a second, a third... and countless more.
In my freshman year of high school, Shen Zhihe and I were assigned to the same class. He was always hanging around me, and I was a little worried that I would be bullied again because of him.
It seems I was overthinking it. We also have Jiang Wanning and Lu Chenzhou. We've been through many ups and downs together, and our friendship has gradually become stronger. Between Shen Zhihe and I, feelings have also unknowingly developed.
In Paris, he finally dared to confess his love to me. He was such a fool, he stuttered with nervousness, but finally mustered up the courage to say the words that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.
This kind of life will not last forever. When the doctor said the word "stomach cancer", my heart felt like it was being poured with ice water.
Things have obviously gotten better, and I clearly feel happy, so why does fate make me go through all the blood and gore again?
In order not to implicate Shen Zhihe, I accompanied me to seek medical treatment everywhere. When he proposed to me sincerely, even though I felt extremely regretful, I could only say goodbye with a smile.
I took my younger brother Gu Songyi to Country A. I was such a fool that I naively thought that treatment abroad could make my condition better, but the reality was cruel. Medical care was limited and could only relieve less than 30% at most.
I tried hard to hide the pain, but Song Yi still found out and ended up in the hospital.
Half a month later, I saw on the news that Shen Zhihe was getting married to Lin Yue. Well, after all, I was the one who broke up first, and I was happy that he was happy.
Truth will eventually come to light. Wan Ning unexpectedly called me at this moment, and under her barrage of questions, I finally told her the truth. She cried uncontrollably on the other end of the line, and I, the person involved, felt no pain at all.
But when I saw her tears streaming down her face in the video, I hung up the phone in a hurry. The moment I put down the phone, my tears finally broke through the dam and soaked the sheets.
Perhaps, my life has been a mistake from the very beginning...
I hope I can be braver in my next life...
