I brought him back to my apartment.
After covering him with a blanket, I quietly sat by the bed, gazing at his sleeping face. He seemed restless in his dreams, occasionally sobbing softly.
I really am a bad person.
When he woke up the next day, the tension from our first meeting had long dissipated. He silently washed up and saw me still packing my luggage for the trip abroad.
He walked over, lowered his head, and softly asked, "Can you not go?"
His voice was hoarse from yesterday's emotional turmoil. I turned to look at him; he was gazing at me with hope, his soft hair falling over his forehead, making him appear utterly harmless.
I stared at him for a long time.
I handed him his phone and said, "Gu Yicheng, your mom called this morning. I answered."
...
When I first arrived abroad, I actually felt a bit out of place.
I often suffered from insomnia. Just when I finally fell asleep, nightmares would wake me up again.
Old Xia asked if I wanted to quit my job and go home. He had already left me a substantial inheritance, enough for me to spend for a lifetime.
I held my phone, staring out at the gloomy sky, unsure of what I was feeling inside.
Every day since I arrived, whenever I encountered a young person with yellow skin and black hair, I would always think of Gu Yicheng.
On my birthday, I was all alone in this city, and it was snowing heavily outside. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. I went out to check and found a familiar figure.
"What are you doing here?"
Gu Yicheng was excited, breathing out puffs of mist in the cold. His shoulders were covered in snow, and he was holding a cake. He smiled happily and waved the cake in front of me.
"Happy Birthday."
My heart trembled violently.
I urged him to come inside quickly. Gu Yicheng took off his coat, and with eager anticipation, he helped me light the candles and placed the cake in front of me.
"Sister, make a wish."
My eyes turned red, but I didn't want him to notice. I asked him, "Is this part of your revenge?"
Gu Yicheng looked a bit wronged. He shook his head anxiously and tentatively told me, "Sister, I really love you."
In fact, Old Xia had called me earlier today and told me that Gu Yicheng had bought a plane ticket to come here right after work because he wanted to wish me a happy birthday today.
He said, "Jia Yi, if you're unhappy or don't like it, Dad will always stand by your side."
Gu Yicheng sat beside me, carefully observing my emotions. When he saw that I wasn't speaking, he came over and hugged me, providing me with a sense of stability in that moment.
He kissed my forehead.
It was clear that the initiative was still in my hands: "You can't abandon me. My whole being is dependent on you. I have no reaction to anyone else. As an older sister, one must take responsibility."
He exaggeratedly accused me of my wrongdoing, as if I were truly the heartless one. His gaze was unfocused, unable to meet mine, nervously waiting for my final judgment.
After a while.
"Gu Yicheng, let's leave the past behind, okay?"
I held his hand tightly, gazing at him with tears in my eyes.
Gu Yicheng was surprised, his breath momentarily caught. Then he revealed a comforting smile and made a pleasant sound. Suddenly, he hugged me tightly and firmly said, "Okay."
I thought I would never find happiness again, but one day there was someone who feared nothing and held no grudges, wanting only to stand by my side. I realized that I had found redemption.
