"I..." Gu Qian cried in heartache, she didn't want anything but to be with the person she loved, why was it so hard?
The scalding tears dropped on Shen Changqing's hand, burning his heart with pain too.
He grasped her frail shoulders, turned her around, and saw her eyes and nose red from crying. His heart ached and he could not bear it, lifting his hand gently to wipe her tears away.
"Don't cry."
The gentle comfort did not improve Gu Qian's emotions; instead, it made her break down even more, her tears falling like beads off a broken string, "I'm sorry, Shen Changqing, I'm sorry!"
Shen Changqing felt an indescribable pain in his heart. He leaned down slightly and kissed her trembling eyelids, sucking away each crystalline, bitter tear, his heart numb with pain.
Gu Qian's eyelashes trembled violently.
