The red tears in her eyes intensified. She said, "Why didn’t you tell me?" Recalling the past, Feng Chengjin bitterly raised the corner of his lips, "At that time, I thought the person you liked was him." Gu Zixuan couldn’t hold back, a tear rolled down as her eyelashes trembled, "So you kept silent until I got married?" Gu Zixuan’s emotions were still faintly tinged with agitation, especially as things had happened between them later... However, recalling that time, Feng Chengjin felt a deeper, helpless bitterness. "Zixuan... I did something wrong, I have no right." Gu Zixuan felt a soft tremor in her heart, looking at the man who never spoke, who, until this day, had never spoken of it. Understanding his character, when she was still He Qimo’s girlfriend, he probably feared taking that step, surely his conscience... Yet, this choice of words made Gu Zixuan feel something wasn’t quite logically correct. Because at that time... ****** At that time, facing He Qimo’s rejection. The upset of Gu Zixuan’s heart reached an extreme. Such a "He Qimo" she truly had fallen for, and was certain she wanted to live together with that kind of love. But, why did he push her away again? Did he start to feel sensitive and alienated from her? Or was it that he actually minded her blindness? Had he merely pretended to comfort her a few days ago? The lack of confidence caused by blindness made Gu Zixuan so uncomfortable she didn’t want to stay in the hospital even for another minute. Meanwhile, Feng Chengjin slowly walked away along the lawn. Furthermore, he picked up the phone, hesitated for a long time, and finally dialed a girl’s phone number from the same dormitory. The waiting was the longest and most torturous process Feng Chengjin had experienced up to his twenty-six years. The mood of impending departure drove Feng Chengjin to look at Gu Zixuan, several times wanting to hold her, but he restrained himself entirely. In the end, he just took advantage of the chance when a leaf fell onto her hair and brushed it away. His heart stirred, his fingertip brushed across her face, and he planted a kiss. That kiss was very light, lighter than a dragonfly skimming the water, and at an angle where no one could see. "A leaf fell," he said, brushing the leaf against her face. "Oh," she calmly replied with a word. He looked at her with a deep and bitter smile. Until after pausing for a while, he saw a figure of a Chinese girl appear in the hospital, looking around for something. He hesitated for a moment, then stood up and stepped forward. "Are you Miss Gu’s schoolmate?" The opponent nodded, and the moment’s surprise in her eyes made him also certain she knew Gu Zixuan, maybe even envied her. The result he finally awaited left nothing in his heart but bitterness. Especially, because of Gu Zixuan’s blindness, perhaps he couldn’t leave even a shadow in her memory, even if others might think better of him. "Could you please help me get in touch with He Qimo? I have something to discuss with him face to face." He said. But no matter how reluctant his tone was. Life seemed to play a joke on him. The opponent’s next sentence was, "Why contact He Qimo? They have already broken up." Official source is novel~fire~net "Broken up?" Feng Chengjin felt some shock as if struck by lightning: "But she clearly..." The opponent shook her head, "I don’t know the specifics, but they truly have broken up. He Qimo has returned to China, he is not in the United States, and there’s no way to reach him..." After that, whatever the opponent said, Feng Chengjin couldn’t really hear anymore. Only his spinning thoughts connected the events, making an indescribable joy flood his mood. So... the day Gu Zixuan was hit by a car, she was sending breakup items to He Qimo. His unexpected appearance led Gu Zixuan to think they had reconciled? Feng Chengjin’s thoughts exploded with a fiery excitement that surged within him. At that moment, he didn’t care who Gu Zixuan truly liked, nor did he notice the slightly strange flicker in the opponent’s thoughts. As long as she and He Qimo were already broken up, he had a chance! He turned around with great enthusiasm. But his mood turned from fiery to ice cold in an instant. The blind Gu Zixuan... was nowhere to be found! That must have been his first experience of urgently feeling he lost Gu Zixuan. Feelings came so fast, he himself couldn’t understand. When he found Gu Zixuan, he had searched almost every alley around the hospital. Anxiety made him resort to fists against a few American punks unceremoniously, and he got a cut on his arm from someone’s knife. When the police arrived, facing Gu Zixuan, he couldn’t help but use a reproachful tone. Gu Zixuan felt aggrieved and trembled with fear. Especially as she trembled, her fingertips touched his bleeding arm, and she cried, hugging his waist and pressing her head into his chest. She was so soft and tender, it was the first time he felt a girl’s tears for him. Very pure, very real, without a hint of interest, nor a trace of impurities. He softened his defenses... At night, after being bandaged, he was also forced to be hospitalized because of several injuries. They had to change wards and separate. He didn’t really want her to touch his wounds. Yet, coming to remind her to call a doctor if anything happens when sleeping alone at night. Gu Zixuan, who had always remained silent, suddenly spoke, "Go and draw the curtains." Feng Chengjin knew she couldn’t see now, he found this instruction a bit strange, frowned a bit, but still followed it. Only after he finished drawing and turned back. Everything before him stunned him into stillness. Gu Zixuan had removed all her clothes, with an unmistakable tension standing slowly on the ground. Then, relying on heightened senses after losing sight these days, she gradually felt his position. Her small hand gradually found his belt, his shirt, and finally reached the collar. She wrapped her arms around his neck, pressed her lips against his, with a sincerity between the ages of girl and woman, "I know you like me, I like you too. Don’t leave tonight, okay?" Feng Chengjin was shocked and petrified. Partly because he heard this sentence with his own ears, and even though he knew Gu Zixuan might not be referring to him, he was tempted to believe it was him, not wanting to think of anything else. On the other hand, he had never seen a young lady take such direct actions, so straightforward. Gu Zixuan, with a body so graceful it ignited all the hidden fires in his body instantly... Feng Chengjin’s throat darkly churned. At twenty-six, full of youthful vigor, if he could resist, it would be too much to consider him as Liu Xia Hui. After a pause, seeing him not respond, Gu Zixuan nervously asked, "Are you saying you don’t like me? Don’t want me?" He pursed his lips, then suddenly hugged Gu Zixuan single-armed, not caring about his recently bandaged arm nor the doctor’s repeated warnings not to move casually. Just without a word, he pressed Gu Zixuan onto the hospital bed. Close to her ear, moved, he uttered three promised words he would never say. Feng Chengjin finished recounting the events. Realizing it was someone who had told Feng Chengjin that she and He Qimo had broken up, leading to what happened between them... For an instant Gu Zixuan also understood, with Feng Chengjin’s intelligence, where the subsequent emotional changes came from. With red eyes, "So... a few days later, you discovered you were deceived, which made it even harder for you to speak to me?" At the moment, Feng Chengjin and Gu Zixuan embraced closely, he held her slender frame in his arms. Intimate, yet filled with boundless warmth. He pressed his lips to her temple, bitterness more intense at the corner of his lips. Perhaps one very important reason that had been tormenting him for the past eight years was because of this. "I couldn’t speak, nor could I tell you. When your senior brother, entrusted by He Qimo, came to find you, I realized something was off. Later, I met Song Ximing to confirm the truth, but all the remedial measures I could think of were rejected by him." "He wouldn’t accept the apology, nor my explanations. He sternly accused me, saying I forcefully took someone else’s girlfriend, relying on height and status, while at that time I couldn’t give up on you." "Zixuan, after eight years, even till today, if you really want to ask me, I can only say... sorry."
