Chapter 1135 Star Wish: Chilled Heart
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yunqian's hands on his knees paused, as if he was struck by these three words.
He slowly opened his eyes and looked ahead with a somewhat empty gaze. After a while, he slowly put down the things in his hand, but he never raised his eyes to look at the woman.
Su Xingya was finally defeated by the surging emotions in her heart. Tears burst out and she cried and trembled all over: "Yunqian, it's all my fault. I have been thinking nonsense at home every day. I admit that at the beginning I did think about running away as soon as I gave birth to the child, but on the day of delivery, and every day we spent together as a family of three, I missed every little thing. I haven't thought about escaping for a long time. I don't know what happened to me that night. If I left you, Han Zhiyuan should come back to help you. I didn't think it through and was too one-sided. Things like this that are dominated by emotions will never happen again in the future..."
Her voice was choked with sobs, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the bottom of her heart, full of regret and sincerity. She hoped that Gu Yunqian could forgive her recklessness and impulsiveness this time.
In the ward, the lights were dim and seemed to be infected by the depressing atmosphere, spreading feebly in every corner. The smell of disinfectant filled the air, becoming more pungent and suffocating.
Gu Yunqian's face was ashen, like the sky before a storm, frighteningly gloomy. The disguise of being usually gentle and calm had now been completely torn to pieces.
He stared at Su Xingya intently, his eyes like two sharp blades, wanting to pierce straight into her heart and find out the truth in her words.
Su Xingya huddled to one side, her hands entangled nervously, her fingers twisting constantly, her knuckles slightly red from the exertion.
She lowered her head, her hair in front of her forehead was scattered messily, and a few strands of hair were soaked with tears and stuck to her pale cheeks.
Her shoulders trembled slightly and she occasionally let out a suppressed sob or two. She looked disheveled and helpless.
"From the chat records between you and Han Zhiyuan, I can clearly see that you are eager to give up your position. Think about how you have escaped from me before. Where do you put me in this family?"
At this point, his eyes became slightly red, filled with pain and disappointment, which was the despair after being repeatedly hurt by the one he loved.
When Su Xingya heard this, her body shook violently. She wanted to explain herself, but it seemed as if all her strength had been drained away. She opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
She knew that this time she had really touched Gu Yunqian's bottom line.
Gu Yunqian paused, took a deep breath, and continued, "Sometimes, I even have wild thoughts, which are vicious and brainless. I can't help but wonder if you are torturing your son like this just to get revenge on me? Revenge for my broken promise in the past, and also take your anger out on our child."
Su Xingya raised her head in fear when she heard this. Her eyes were full of panic and grievance. Tears burst out uncontrollably. "No, Yunqian, how could I... He is also my son who I carried for ten months. How could you think of me like this?"
Her voice was trembling violently and she sounded like crying. She wanted to reach out and pull the corner of Gu Yunqian's clothes, but she stopped in mid-air and her hand fell down weakly.
When Gu Yunqian saw her like this, his heart softened, but was immediately filled with anger again.
He thought of Su Xingya's anxious look in the corridor and knew that she truly loved her child, but the past hurts were like a thorn in his throat that made it difficult for him to let go.
"Then explain to me, why is it that whenever something goes wrong, your first reaction is to leave me? Didn't you say that you planned to stay and live a good life with me? Then why did you take the initiative to send a message to Han Zhiyuan and give me to her? What do you think of me? An object that can be pushed back and forth? Do you know that I get tired too!"
Gu Yunqian became more and more excited as he spoke. He took a step forward, and his tall figure enveloped Su Xingya, bringing an invisible sense of oppression.
Su Xingya subconsciously took a small step back, her back pressed against the wall. She felt as if she was forced into a desperate situation. She lowered her head and was silent for a long time before she said in an almost inaudible voice, "I dare not..."
"Don't dare?" Gu Yunqian raised his voice, his eyes full of confusion and anger, "What are you afraid of?"
Su Xingya bit her lip, as if she mustered up great courage, raised her head, and looked at Gu Yunqian with tearful eyes: "I am just too greedy for every moment with you, I am greedy for your tenderness, your care, and the warmth of this family. That's why I waver again and again, and then I become resolute again and again. But every time something happens, I am afraid of losing you, afraid that I am not good enough, I am just a substitute, and I am not worthy of you after all, so I choose to escape."
Gu Yunqian looked at her quietly, without any sign of relaxation on his face, and his eyes still revealed deep disappointment.
In the ward, the lights were dim and the air seemed to be frozen, with every movement carrying a heavy tone.
Su Xingya lowered her eyes, but could still keenly feel the subtle fluctuations in Gu Yunqian's eyes. That hint of complex emotions was like a sharp hook, gently pulling at her heart.
She silently lowered her head, trying to hide herself in the shadow. Her trembling hands slowly clenched into fists, her knuckles turning white from the force. She seemed to be stubbornly clinging to the last bit of her dignity, not wanting the man in front of her to see how miserable she was at the moment.
Her heart was filled with regret and self-blame. Why did she always fail at critical moments and make wrong judgments time and time again?
Finally, she mustered up the greatest courage in her life and was willing to face her heart, admitting that she had fallen in love with Gu Yunqian, admitting the inferiority that had been hidden deep in her heart for a long time, and admitting that she had always been a cowardly deserter.
But now, Gu Yunqian's indifferent attitude was like a basin of piercing cold water, ruthlessly extinguishing the fire of hope that had just ignited in her heart, making her feel like a jumping clown, extremely ridiculous.
It turns out that when you get something, you don't cherish it, and then you regret it when you lose it. This is what it feels like...
Su Xingya sighed silently in her heart, and her nose couldn't help but feel sore. She took a deep breath, trying to calm the sourness and panic in her heart.
At this moment, she was completely at a loss, like a lonely boat lost in the vast ocean, with no idea how to break the deadlock and win back Gu Yunqian's heart.
She knew very well that she was just a substitute, and even if she mustered up the courage to confess her feelings, it might be considered an act of usurpation in Gu Yunqian's eyes.
It was understandable that he did not react. Su Xingya's heart was full of bitterness, but when she raised her head in despair, she was shocked to find that Gu Yunqian had approached silently without her knowing when.
They were so close that there was almost no distance between them. She could even clearly feel the warm breath emanating from each other. Their heartbeats intertwined, rapid and powerful, as if they were playing a tense and ambiguous piece of music.
