Gu Xingze did not react at all.
His eyelids were slightly closed, and his expression was calm. However, his body was like an empty shell that was completely lifeless!
âNo...â
She finally began to panic. She groped for his face and pressed her forehead against his cheek, but she could only feel his coldness.
âXingze, donât... I beg you. I beg you, donât leave me...â
She begged in despair and used all her strength to hug his shoulders tightly, as though trying to transfer all her body heat onto him!
âXingze, I was lying to you just now!â
She said painfully, âI was lying to you. I just wanted you to get on with life... I was lying to you. I wonât forget you. How can I bear to forget you...â
Memories flashed before her eyes.
The first time they met, he smiled at her as he sized her up. Her pretty eyes were like crescent moons and there was a warm smile on her face.
âYou are such a pretty and clean-cut girl. Why are you an assistant to a mediocre model? Whereâs the future in it!â
âYouâre much prettier than her. Youâll be a real success if you entered the entertainment industry.â
âMy ideal female lead would have a temperament like yours.â
...
Yun Shishi could no longer hold back her deep sorrow. She cried heartbreakingly, holding his cold body. She was like a child in despair.
âI like you, I like you so much.â
âSo much... so much!â
His smile was fresh in her mind.
At the Huanyu annual gala, he had led her to the dance floor.
He bowed slightly in his suit, and invited her, like an elegant and noble gentleman, to the dance floor.
âMay I invite you for a dance?â
He smiled, showing off his sparkling white teeth. He was downright mesmerizing.
Life felt like a first meeting.
Gritting her teeth tightly, she hugged his limp head and burst into tears.
She tried hard to open her eyes wide to take a good look at him. But this only intensified her pain. In the end, all she saw was a bloody blur, and she could not see anything clearly!
âNo...â
She cried helplessly, âLet me take a good look at you!â
âXingze, let me take a good look at you...â
âI canât see anything...â
Yun Shishi clutched his shirt tightly, her soul almost shattering from the pain!
âXingze...!â
She screamed his name in despair, her cries echoing throughout the huge parking lot.
...
âShishi?â
In the darkness, a tall figure walked towards her.
Yun Shishi opened her eyes abruptly and saw Gu Xingzeâs gentle smile.
âXingze!â
Overcome by emotions, she threw her arms around him.
âYouâre alive! Youâre alive!â
She was so happy that her words came out in a gush. All she knew was to repeat one sentence after another as she hugged him tightly.
âYou scared me. I thought you really left meââ
Yun Shishiâs tears continued to flow. âNever make a joke like that again! You canât die and leave me behind...â
âShishi, Shishi...â
Gu Xingze calmed her down and gently stroked her hair with his warm hand. He smiled and said, âIâm leaving.â
âYouâre leaving?â
âUh huh.â
âWhere are you going?â
âTo somewhere far away.â
Gu Xingzeâs tone was relaxed. âThis is probably a form of release!â
To him, moving from a life of pain to perpetual darkness was a form of release.
âMeeting you was the luckiest event in my life.â
