“Shengsheng…Shengsheng…”

"Mom and Dad... I'm sorry..."

Gu Shengsheng woke up from her dream in a sweat. What lingered in her mind was the scene of the Gu family, covered in blood and crying, looking at her.

"vomit…"

Her frail body was agitated by the stimulation and she vomited blood.

Hearing the noise, Lu Wu walked in. Seeing her deathly pale face, she was shocked and said, "I'll go call the doctor."

The miracle doctor came quickly, felt her pulse and shook his head, saying, "Young lady has nightmares every night, and her heart pulse is getting weaker. If this continues, I'm afraid she won't live long."

She smiled miserably, "How long can I live?"

"About two to three years. Your heart and internal organs have deteriorated badly." The doctor said with heartache.

"Please don't tell him about this."

After taking care of her for many years, watching her grow up, and watching her decline in her best years, the genius doctor said with sympathy, "No matter how good the medical skills are, they can't heal the human heart."

"I promise you what you said."

After giving her an injection and some medicine, she stopped vomiting blood.

"If you can figure it out, get enough sleep and rest, and take good care of yourself in a good mood, you can prolong your life."

"Thank you."

Seeing that she looked desperate, the doctor shook his head and left.

Lu Wu helped her change her bloody clothes and said with a sad heart, "If you had known this would happen, you might as well have gone with her that day."

After returning from Shengjing, she had nightmares every night and was in a state of panic all day. Her body was rapidly deteriorating and the tranquilizing soup had no effect on her.

Lu Wu knew that even though she chose to stay, she couldn't get over the pain in her heart. That was the blood feud that wiped out her entire family. The deaths of her parents, brother, and relatives were all caused by Xiao Linfeng.

"No matter what I choose, it won't be good. Even if I go back to Xiangchu, it won't be good." She seemed to have expected this and said calmly, "Why not stay here? This place is very suitable for my burial place."

Maybe she was wrong, but she didn't want to turn back. No matter what choice she made, it would be painful for her.

She was so ill that they dared not conceal it. After reporting it, Xiao Linfeng finally found time to visit her.

Seeing her so weak, Xiao Linfeng frowned. He called the doctor to ask, and the doctor said unhappily, "If a person's heart meridian is weak and she has no will to live, then no one can save her."

Xiao Linfeng sat down beside her, looked at her and asked, "Why is it like this all of a sudden? Did something happen that I don't know about?"

"After returning from the memorial service, my father, mother, brother, and the dead people in the Gu family have appeared in my dreams every night." Her eyes were dead and empty, scary. "They were covered in blood, calling my name in grief and anger."

She looked straight at him and said dimly, "I must have done something wrong, that's why they appear in my dreams every night."

Xiao Linfeng said calmly, "You are having a nightmare or you are overthinking. Let the doctor prescribe something to calm your nerves. I brought you a lot of interesting books. If you are bored, read more and don't think about these nonsense."

She was so easily fooled by changing the subject, she couldn't tell how she felt. It was something she had expected, it was her own fault.

She looked at the lake and smiled, then leaned weakly on the railing, "Uncle Xiao, would you be sad if I died?"

He was silent for a long time before he spoke calmly, "I have seen too many people die in my life. I no longer have the emotion of sadness."

"How cruel! That means I won't even get a single tear from you even if I die."

He scolded her, "Don't talk nonsense, you are only fifteen years old, and your life has just begun. Take medicine and treat your illness well, and you will live a long life."

“Will they really live long?”

He narrowed his eyes and asked her back, "The doctor said you have no will to live, why don't you want to live anymore?"

He always felt that she had changed a lot after the trip to the capital, and perhaps he shouldn't have been soft-hearted and let her leave the island.

She suppressed the emotions in her eyes and said with a look of despair, "I look at the same scenery and drink medicine every day. I have nightmares every night recently. I suddenly feel that life is very tiring and I don't really want to live anymore."

"I risked my life in a pool of blood to save your life. I won't allow you to give it up like this."

She used to be very touched to hear such words, but now she just felt cold in her heart. After knowing the truth, no matter how much she deceived herself, she could not go back to the past.

"Uncle Xiao raised me up, what do you want me to do for you?" she asked bluntly.

Xiao Linfeng became more and more suspicious whether she knew something, "Are you uneasy, or are you testing me?"

"I just feel that there is no good thing in this world without reason, and you have been so good to me over the years."

So good that he was the only one in her world, so good that she couldn't raise the knife in her hand against him.

Now I can neither love nor hate him.

Finally, Xiao Linfeng said vaguely, "Maybe it's because you are a member of the Xiao family."

Xiao Linfeng stayed that night and questioned everyone who had followed her out of the island and into Shengjing that day. He found no clues and had to give up.

Gu Shengsheng, who had taken tranquilizing soup before going to bed, woke up from her dream again.

Perhaps stimulated by the conversation with Xiao Linfeng during the day, she pushed open the door barefoot and went to the lake.

The whole person seemed to be sleepwalking. When Lu Wu and Xiao Linfeng chased after her, they saw her in white clothes fluttering in the wind, as if she was flying away.

Xiao Linfeng called her terrified, "Shengsheng..."

She turned around, her eyes were dark without any light.

"Shengsheng is in danger, come here quickly."

Xiao Linfeng said as he quickly ran towards her, and before she jumped into the lake, he grabbed her clothes and pulled her to the ground, "Are you going to jump into the lake now?"

He asked angrily with a frosty face, but she just blinked her eyes and said fragilely and innocently, "Mom and Dad are waiting for me at the bottom of the lake. They said it's warm at the bottom of the lake. I want to go down to the door to accompany them."

Lu Wu tried to hold back her tears and said, "It's cold outside, let's go back to the room first."

Xiao Linfeng picked her up, only to feel that the person in his arms was so light, as if she was so thin that only a skeleton was left.

She swallowed all the harsh words, feeling that they would shatter into ashes if she touched them.

Lu Wu blamed herself and said, "It's all my fault. I should have gone back earlier to keep watch."

Because she was being questioned by him, there was no one on guard tonight. She never liked people she didn't know sleeping in the outer room. So except for her occasional night watch, most of the time she didn't want anyone to watch.

After entering the room, she still kept her eyes downcast, looking lifeless.

Xiao Linfeng suppressed his anger and asked, "What do you want me to do so that I can take my medicine and take care of my body."

She raised her eyes and glanced at him. "I don't want to do anything, so what can I do?"

"Uncle Xiao, my life is yours and you can take it back anytime."

He said with a headache, "Then I want you to live well now."

"Yeah." She responded obediently.

The night was as cool as water, and the two had different thoughts.
