Let's walk together for the rest of our lives. If the host says to leave, she will leave.

pain……

It hurts.

At midnight, Gu Ling's face was as pale as paper and her forehead was covered with sweat. She was awakened by the severe pain in her heart.

She opened her mouth and gasped for breath, but the thin air was still reluctant to enter her lungs.

She instinctively pressed the button on the bedside, and the shrill alarm sounded throughout the Gu family villa, and the silent night suddenly became boiling.

She sat up with great effort and reached for the medicine bottle with trembling hands. The bottle cap, which was not very tight, could not be opened at this moment. The medicine bottle slid down her weak hands and rolled to the corner of the room.

Gu Ling's consciousness gradually became blurred, the door was opened, a group of people rushed in, and the noise in his ears was one after another. Gu Hai calmly issued a series of instructions, and then Gu Ling completely fainted.

On a dark night, the Gu family villa was brightly lit, the shrill alarm sounded through the sky, and the door of the hospital's operating room was closed by medical staff.

……

The weather was clear and sunny today, but Qiao Yu felt inexplicably nervous. After lunch, he came to the Gu family villa, eager to see Gu Ling.

He pressed the doorbell for a long time but no one came to open the door. The uneasy feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.

He took out his cell phone and called Gu Ling. The call rang for a long time before it was finally connected.

He breathed a sigh of relief: "Gu Ling, are you home? Why..."

"Qiao Yu." Gu Hai's voice came from the other end of the line: "I'm sorry, you're fired."

beep--

The person on the other end of the phone hung up. Countless thoughts flashed through Qiao Yu's mind. He held the phone tightly and after a while, he made a call.

"Help me check something out."

hospital.

Gu Hai sat on a chair outside the ward, holding Gu Ling's phone in his hand. His expressionless face was somewhat similar to Gu Ling's.

The original body's health was not good and she had to go to the hospital every few days. Since Gu Ling came, she used all the demonic power that this world could mobilize to repair her body so that she would not be too weak.

Gu Ling's health had been improving, and she didn't show any abnormalities, so Gu Hai didn't keep an eye on her as often as before.

However, Gu Ling underestimated the weakness of this body. After only two days of being out, he had to be admitted to the hospital.

The phone rang again, but this time it was Gu Hai's own phone: "Boss Gu, you have three meetings today, and you have to have dinner with Boss Lin in the afternoon. Also, you didn't come to the company today, and there are a lot of documents waiting for you to deal with. When will you come to the company?"

Gu Hai only said four words: "Reject them all."

"But……"

"I said, reject them all."

The other party was silent for a while, then said, "Okay, I understand."

Gu Ling's health was taken care of by his own doctors, so he couldn't play any role here, but he still stayed.

He is waiting, waiting for someone.

He has to deal with this unstable factor before he can return to the company with peace of mind.

It turned out that Qiao Yu's connections were still somewhat useful, and he quickly found out the hospital where Gu Ling was.

He panted heavily and found Gu Ling's ward. When he saw Gu Hai sitting at the door, he stopped running and walked over: "Mr. Gu."

Gu Hai looked at Qiao Yu with sharp eyes, and his calm tone contained the unique pressure of a superior: "The reason she went to the hospital was because of overwork."

Qiao Yu's cheeks, which had turned red from the intense running, turned pale in an instant: "I'm sorry."

Gu Hai sighed, his tone somewhat reluctant, and his slightly lowered eyelids blocked the coldness in his eyes: "It's also my fault that I didn't explain it to you clearly. The premise of making Gu Ling happy is to ensure her health. Obviously you didn't do that. Thank you very much for your company during this time, but you may not be suitable to stay with Gu Ling."

Qiao Yu clenched his hands at his sides into fists, and he forced a smile: "Boss Gu, should we ask Gu Ling for his opinion on this matter?"

Qiao Yu's disobedience made Gu Hai's pretended friendliness disappear completely, and he revealed his true cold face: "In the Gu family, I have the final say."

He would not allow someone who could control Gu Ling's emotions and could not guarantee Gu Ling's physical health to stay by his side.

Gu Ling had to live, live for a long, long time.

Suddenly, the sound of glass breaking was heard in the ward. The two people outside the door were startled. Qiao Yu was the first to open the door and ran in.

Gu Ling had already sat up, and the glass that was originally placed on the bedside table was deliberately smashed to the ground.

Her voice was thin and weak: "Father, was Qiao Yu fired by you?"

Gu Hai frowned slightly: "Yes."

"Then he is no longer my painting teacher from now on."

Qiao Yu's forced calmness finally showed a crack. He opened his mouth but closed it again.

What was he talking about? He was the one who didn't notice Gu Ling's physical changes. He deserved what he had ended up like this. What right did he have to defend himself?

Gu Hai's slightly knitted brows did not relax, his intuition told him that this matter was not over yet.

Gu Ling finally set his sights on Qiao Yu: "Qiao Yu, come here."

Qiao Yu's legs, which seemed to be connected to the floor, finally moved. No matter when or where, he could never refuse Gu Ling.

Gu Ling pulled him and asked him to sit on the edge of the bed. He leaned himself in Qiao Yu's arms and adjusted himself to a comfortable position.

She grabbed Qiao Yu's hand and said, "Father, you said it, right? You want me to be happy. Gu Ling is happy every day with Qiao Yu."

Qiao Yu tightened his grip on Gu Ling's hand.

"Healthy and happy." Gu Hai tore off the surface of harmony, "Gu Ling, he caused you to be hospitalized."

He added the word "health" blatantly, and was just short of saying blatantly that he only cared about Gu Ling's life.

"It was me who wanted to go to East Lake Park, and it was me who suggested taking a walk after dinner. The main responsibility lies with me." Gu Ling looked at Gu Hai seriously, "Father, I believe Qiao Yu also cares about my health. This kind of thing will not happen again in the future."

Gu Hai laughed sarcastically: "What can you guarantee for the future? This life?"

"Mr. Gu." Qiao Yu, who had remained silent, finally spoke, "I will protect Gu Ling with my life. And you said that mood will also affect health, right?"

It was a threat, but Gu Hai didn't say anything else.

He saw the familiar deep love in Qiao Yu's eyes.

Once upon a time, he also looked at Ye Zhi with such eyes.

And Gu Ling, his daughter, in Qiao Yu's arms, also chose the person she loved as firmly as Ye Zhi did back then.

He was silent for a long time, then said: "Qiao Yu, you will regret it."

Regret falling in love with a lover who is bound to be lost.

I regret that I loved too firmly and left no way out.

Qiao Yu asked: "Do you regret it?"

Do you regret falling in love with Ye Zhi?

Gu Hai's tone left no doubt: "No." He had never regretted falling in love with Ye Zhi, never.

Qiao Yu lowered his head and looked at Gu Ling, saying slowly: "So I won't regret it either."

Once, twice, countless times, he would choose to go to the Western Suburbs Cemetery on that day, and then when he saw the girl in the rain, he would lose his mind and for no reason -

Fall in love with her.

……

Mr. Gu, who always kept his word, compromised for the first time for someone other than Ye Zhi and left.

Qiao Yu looked at Gu Ling's pale face, the self-blame and heartache in his eyes almost overflowing: "I'm sorry."

Gu Ling smiled and accepted the apology calmly: "It's okay, I will do better next time."

This smile is like a flower blooming on a branch after the ice and snow have melted. Although it is still covered with winter snow, it already has the warmth of spring.

This was the first time Qiao Yu saw Gu Ling smile so happily.

Qiao Yu carefully let go of Gu Ling, knelt on one knee under Gu Ling's puzzled gaze, took Gu Ling's hand and placed it on his left chest.

Inside the young, healthy and energetic body, a living heart is beating vigorously.

The disco music of this heart's misbehavior was finally known to a second person.

Qiao Yu looked up at her. The confession he made to Wan Feng that night was finally spoken out loud today.

"Gu Ling, I love you." He smiled, "It's great that you know this too."

Gu Ling lowered his eyes and looked at the place where his palm was pressed, and then his gaze stayed on Qiao Yu's eyes for a long time.

Those were a pair of very beautiful eyes, and all the mountains and rivers were locked in them with tenderness. And now, Gu Ling was the most beautiful scenery he had ever seen.

——She liked his eyes.

Gu Ling leaned down slightly, and his pale lips fell on the corner of Qiao Yu's eyes.

—His god kissed him.
