"To be honest, I really thought about it once. "Although the island is plain, there is no need to worry about it for the rest of my life …"
Ye Xiaochen's voice was slightly low and the starlight that filled the sky reflected into his glass-like pupils. The gaze in his eyes was cold and deep.
"…"
Helan Xi didn't say anything and just looked into the distance.
"A Xi, it's getting late. Shall we go back and rest?"
The two of them stood in silence for a while before Ye Xiaochen spoke up.
"Alright."
Helan Xi turned around as he paced around and found that his legs were slightly numb. Unknowingly, he had already been standing on the Sky Profound Stone for a long time.
The night breeze blew past, accompanied by a faint salty wind.
The two of them had different depths of loneliness in their eyes.
"..."
Yunjing.
Qingning Hospital.
Three in the morning.
Gong Nanling leaned against the chair and looked at Gu Mengmeng quietly. His eyes started to hurt a little, and the fatigue in his eyes deepened.
He was very sleepy, but he didn't dare to close his eyes.
Lowering her eyes and looking at Gu Mengmeng's slightly flushed face, endless guilt surged in her chest.
In the end, it was all because of him.
"Mom …"
Gu Mengmeng suddenly let out a faint sound of insanity.
Gong Nanling's pupils contracted. He held her hand, leaned over and called out softly.
"Mengmeng …"
"Mom …"
Gu Mengmeng faintly opened her red and swollen eyelids, and from the corner of her eyes came a sparkling and translucent teardrop.
It looked like she was crying in her dreams.
"Mengmeng, you're awake."
Gong Nanling called to her softly.
"Gong Nanling …"
Gu Mengmeng's handsome face gradually changed from blurry to clear, and the light in her eyes changed in an instant.
"You? "Where is this place?"
"Mengmeng, this is the hospital."
Gong Nanling comforted her in a low voice.
"Hospital?"
Gu Mengmeng's muddled mind slowly cleared up. From the Millennium Tavern's coffee shop on the first floor to Yunjing Cemetery, from Ning Qianyu to that wretched man …
Scenes flashed through his mind like a movie rewind.
The redness on his face instantly faded, and a pallor that caused one's heart to ache surfaced.
Her eyes were filled with mixed emotions.
Anger, shame, anger, fear.
That complicated gaze was like a knife that stabbed straight into Gong Nanling's heart. He couldn't help but frown due to the pain.
"Mengmeng, how do you feel? Do you want some water? "
He pursed his lips and endured the pain in his heart as he asked in a low voice.
"Gong Nanling, you liar, I don't want to see you again."
A red, joyous invitation appeared in front of Gu Mengmeng's eyes. Her eyes were filled with a piercing red color.
"Mengmeng, everything was a misunderstanding. "It's my mother …"
Gong Nanling already knew the truth of the matter, so he quickly held her cold hand and explained.
"Misunderstanding? You're about to get married, and you say it's a misunderstanding? "
Although Gu Mengmeng didn't want to cry in front of him, her tear ducts were like a faucet that couldn't be turned off.
The pillow, a tear stain.
"None... Meng Meng … "There's no one at all …"
Gong Nanling saw her crying and felt very upset.
Gu Mengmeng took a tissue to wipe away her tears and pushed him away.
"Gong Nanling, at this time, you're still lying to me?!"
How could Gu Mengmeng not believe Ning Qianyu's burning words?
In addition to her physical condition and background, she completely believed that Gong Nanling's parents would not accept her.
"Mengmeng, I'm not lying to you. "That's all Ning Qianyu's nonsense …"
"You don't need to say anything."
Gu Mengmeng's heart ached when she heard the name Ning Qianyu.
No matter how much you love someone, you can't tolerate a third person.
What made Gu Mengmeng even more confused was who was the real third party between her and Ning Qianyu.
"Mengmeng, this is all my mother's fault for making Ning Qianyu intentionally act. She did it just for …"
Before Gong Nanling could finish his sentence, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Gu Mengmeng's mouth.
"To get me to leave you?"
"Mm …"
Gong Nanling pursed his lips and agreed uneasily.
"Gong Nanling, since they want me to leave you, I'll leave …"
Gu Mengmeng's words contained a bit of anger, but also a bit of sadness.
"No."
Gong Nanling's heart tightened, he leaned over and hugged her, then shook his head.
"Mengmeng, don't say something like that."
"Gong Nanling, I'm tired …"
Since Gu Yalan's death, Gu Mengmeng had experienced too many things. At such a young age, her heart was much older than her actual age.
"Mengmeng, I know. It's all my fault... "Don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt you anymore …"
Gong Nanling held her tightly as if he was afraid that she would leave.
"Mengmeng, let's get married!"
An idea suddenly flashed through his mind. Without much thought, he blurted it out.
"Gong Nanling, what did you say?"
Gu Mengmeng only felt that she was hallucinating as her eardrums buzzed.
"Mengmeng, marry me, okay?"
No flowers, no diamond rings, no witnesses, no applause. In the night before dawn, in this sickroom that had a faint smell of Disinfectant Liquid. Gong Nanling proposed to Gu Mengmeng.
"…"
Gu Mengmeng bit her lips, her curling eyelashes trembling violently.
The tears in her eyes instantly froze.
In response to Gong Nanling, there was only lonely air.
The waiting was so nerve-wracking and disturbing.
He looked down expectantly at the small face that was swollen with tears. His eyes were determined and eager.
"Mengmeng, marry me, okay?"
Once again, he spoke to Gu Mengmeng in a very serious tone.
Perhaps, it was as Lu Yiyao had told him, getting married early and getting dust early.
No matter how long the future might be, they would eventually become a family that could face everything together.
"…"
Gu Mengmeng remained silent and her long eyelashes blinked once.2
Tears rolled down his face.
In this space where the drop of a needle could be heard, Gong Nanling seemed to clearly hear the sound of tears falling.
It was ear-piercing and stinging.
The tears fell heavily on his heart.
"Mengmeng, let me take good care of you. No matter whether you are poor or rich, whether you are sick or healthy, I will stay by your side …"
Gong Nanling's peach blossom eyes were filled with deep emotions.
"…"
Gu Mengmeng looked at him with reddened eyes, still not saying a word. The ripples in the lake grew larger and larger.
"Mengmeng, I know that's too sudden …"
"Gong Nanling, why did you do this?"
Gu Mengmeng interrupted him abruptly.
"Mengmeng?"
Gong Nanling's heart skipped a beat as he looked at her nervously.
"Gong Nanling, are you speaking the truth?"
Gu Mengmeng looked at him, her long eyelashes unblinking. The orange light fell on her pale face, breaking it into fragments.
"Mengmeng, of course I'm speaking the truth. "If you don't believe me, I can swear …"
After Gong Nanling finished, he raised his right hand.
"Mengmeng, if I'm not lying to you in the slightest, then the five strikes of lightning will not be good …"
Before he could say the word "die", Gu Mengmeng had already covered his mouth with her hand.
"Gong Nanling, then let's get married …"
After a long while, Gu Mengmeng finally spoke up.
