If she had stopped them from getting into the car, perhaps none of this would have happened.
They would have been fine.
If she had not been in the car, they would not have died in this car accident in order to protect her.
"How could you have died? "
Gu Ruochu refused to believe it. She clutched tightly at the bedsheet beneath her. She felt as if the living embodiment of an hour ago had disappeared.
The Heavens had played a huge joke on her.
She refused to believe it and closed her eyes to fall asleep. Everything would be fine if she fell asleep and woke up again.
Nothing had happened and they were still here.
...
Gu Ruochu fell into the darkness and did not know how long she had slept.
"Yichen, mother... "
She stretched her hand towards the light but was pulled out of the darkness.
When she opened her eyes, she realized that Huo Nanchen was holding her hand. Her vision gradually became clear and she could feel his cold lips.
"You're finally awake. Ruo Chu, Ruo Chu... "
His voice had become very hoarse and his dark eyes were bloodshot. However, his arms were still very strong.
Now, she was all he had left.
She was held in his arms in a daze and only then did she recall everything that had happened.
Xu Yichen was gone and so was her mother.
Both of their lives were gone.
He must be suffering as well. The person in the car was his mother, who had raised him for many years.
"Hubby, they're dead, they're really dead... "
Gu Ruochu began to cry bitterly, her heart aching.
If she had stopped them from getting into the car, none of this would have happened.
Huo Nanchen did not say a word. He just reached out and caressed her head. His voice was choked with sobs. They hugged each other tightly, trying to bring warmth to each other.
"Nanchen... "
"Don't cry. "
One of them had lost a friend, and the other had lost a mother.
Huo Nanchen let go of her slightly. "I sent someone to the hotel to pack some things these few days. This is a letter and a gift from him for you. "
The gift was two pairs of hand-polished baby gold bracelets. They looked small and exquisite. It must be a gift from him to the children.
Actually, it wasn't that he did not notice Ruo Chu's thoughts. He only knew that Ruo Chu would maintain a certain distance from her male friends.
Besides, he was not so petty.
He just did not expect that an accident would occur at this moment.
Gu Ruochu released him and opened his letter with the gift he had handed her.
"Ruo Chu, I actually have a lot of things to tell you. After some thought, I decided to write them on a piece of paper. Perhaps by the time you open this letter, I'll have traveled far away. You know, traveling around the world has always been one of my dreams. "
"I am an orphan without parents. I remember the first time I saw you, I crouched under a tree with my face buried in my knees and refused to raise my head. You might not remember, but I remember that it was July 23rd in the summer. You may look small, but you look much more mature than your peers. In fact, it is harder to love a girl like you because I know that you can not stand it when others treat you well because you are afraid that you can not pay them back. You are such an insecure, stubborn and stubborn girl. You never dare and will not cry in front of others. I understand, and I understand all of it."
"Ever since you were young, your uncle dressed you up as a boy and always complained to me behind my back about how great it would be if you could have a girl's things one day. I know that dresses, bows, and dolls for girls your age are all luxurious and isolated to you. I thought about it for a long time and finally chose a watch to give to you. I know all of your repressed bitterness."
