Chapter 60: Chapter 060 How Can I Be Assured?
I’ve grown numb… tired of this?
Watching her righteously claim she no longer had feelings for him, Gu Hangshen was besieged by an unexpected loneliness.
Indeed! His Xiaoqiao had grown up, no longer the little tail who used to follow him everywhere, calling him ‘Brother Hang’ at every turn.
She had grown up, so she no longer needed him, and thus she was leaving…
And he, to his dismay, was no longer able to keep her.
Gu Hangshen lay on his back, his voice laced with weariness, “It’s late, are you still going back?”
Thinking that he wouldn’t return that evening, Gong Xiaoqiao had planned to sleep over and move all her things out early the next morning, but events had taken an unexpected turn.
Gong Xiaoqiao looked at Gu Hangshen, hesitating.
But now, Gu Hangshen seed dangerous to her, and even though she had managed to joke her way through earlier, she couldn’t help feeling a bit scared afterwards, wondering what might have happened if Gong Hannian hadn’t called when he did.
She always felt that there was sothing off about Gu Hangshen lately… especially since Qin Yao and Gu Xiaorou ca back…
The fear and wariness in her eyes filled him with a bitter taste that was hard to bear. He got up, grabbed his coat, and said, “I’m going back to Tianhe Garden. I’ll co over in the morning to help you move your stuff. Have a good rest.”
Gong Xiaoqiao was sowhat surprised; she hadn’t expected Gu Hangshen to leave on his own.
After Gu Hangshen left, Gong Xiaoqiao lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
This was the first ti she had stayed alone in this place. Without him, the air was filled with icy and unsettling elents.
It won’t do; she was about to move out. It might not be easy to find a roommate all of a sudden, so she had to adapt quickly!
Perhaps she wasn’t that fragile after all. It was just that subconsciously she knew that being strong only led to getting hurt, which made her so dependent on Gu Hangshen, drew his attention, and made her not want him to leave.
But now, there was an unavoidable reason to leave.
She couldn’t continue to be willful…
Lost in her thoughts, Gong Xiaoqiao fell asleep.
In her dream, a beautiful woman with long black hair lay in a pool of blood, dressed in white.
The blood spread endlessly from around her…
Turning into mist, then condensing into blood rain…
The crimson before her eyes climbed up her body starting from her feet…
The blood’s icy touch turned into countless vines that tightened around her, suffocating her…
Listening to the distant church bells, she watched two people embrace happily, while she was stuck in place by the blood, unable to move an inch…
In cold sweat, trembling, amidst terror and despair, a pair of warm hands covered hers, pulling her out into an embrace.
In that mont, the blood-red tide seed to slowly recede.
The nightmare ca to an end.
Soone seed to sigh near her ear, “How can I feel at ease with you like this?”
Was it Gu Hangshen?
Mm, it must be a dream, Gu Hangshen didn’t have a key, so how could he possibly co in?
Reassured, Gong Xiaoqiao went back to sleep.
Gu Hangshen hadn’t gone to stay at the villa in Tianhe Garden, but had slept in the car downstairs instead.
Of course, not having a key was just a poor excuse.
What Xiaoqiao said was not without reason; perhaps it was ti he stopped holding her back.
He had already decided to let go, but in the end, he still couldn’t stop worrying about her.
When he ca up to check on her, she was indeed having a nightmare, her body shaking almost to the point of convulsions. It seed as though she had sensed his presence, instinctively clinging to him in his arms.
The girl was putting on a brave front…
