"..." Gu Yan remained silent.
Ye Lu's anticipation gradually sunk. Was it still not acceptable?
Even as a friend, he didn't wish to see her, did he?
Indeed. All she'd brought him was the pain etched into his heart, something no man could tolerate.
She forced a smile: "I understand. Gu Yan, whatever happens, I hope you'll cherish yourself. Please, don't hurt yourself anymore."
Otherwise, her heart would ache with worry.
She rose, casting one last sad look at him, knowing they could never meet again.
"I'll leave now. Take care. I won't bother you any longer."
She turned silently and moved towards the door, opening it.
"Ye Lu, do you truly care about me? Are you filled with guilt for me?" Gu Yan suddenly spoke.
Ye Lu turned back in surprise.
"Shouldn't you strive to make it up to me?" Gu Yan lifted his head, his chest heaving, his eyes fixed on her."
Ye Lu stared at him, her heart pounding wildly: "What do you mean?"
"Stay with me, take care of me, until I recover."
