Gu Yu raised her head and saw Zhou Ziran's determined gaze, a warm current surged in her heart. She clasped Zhou Ziran's hand tightly and nodded vigorously.
Lin Wei, witnessing this scene, trembled with anger. She pointed at Gu Yu and shouted sharply, "Good! Very good! You all don't believe me, do you? Then let me tell you an even bigger secret!"
Lin Wei took a deep breath, as if making a significant decision, and spoke each word deliberately: "Gu Yu... she is not an orphan; she was abandoned!"
Gu Yu's body jolted, and her face instantly turned pale. She widened her eyes in terror, her lips trembling slightly but unable to produce any sound. This sudden revelation struck her like a bolt from the blue, completely shattering her.
Zhou Ziran noticed Gu Yu's distress. He turned his head and saw her pale face and frightened eyes, causing his heart to tighten. He reached out and pulled Gu Yu into his embrace, gently patting her back while softly reassuring her, "It's okay, don't be afraid; I'm here."
Zhou Ziqi was also taken aback by Lin Wei's words. He turned to look at Gu Yu and saw her pained expression, stirring a sense of doubt and unease within him. Could it be true what Lin Wei said? Was Gu Yu really not an orphan?
"You all think I don't know? Gu Yu..." Lin Wei tried to continue but was halted by Zhou Ziran's piercing gaze.
"Enough!" Zhou Ziran glared at Lin Wei, his tone icy. "How long are you going to keep spouting nonsense?"
"I..." Lin Wei wanted to retort but felt an inexplicable fear at Zhou Ziran's cold stare. She instinctively took a step back, too afraid to speak further.
Zhou Ziran ignored Lin Wei any longer; he held Gu Yu close and turned to leave the rooftop.
"Ziran..." Gu Yu gently tugged at Zhou Ziran's shirt hem, her voice hoarse. "I..."
Zhou Ziran stopped, looked down at Gu Yu, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Gu Yu took a deep breath, raised her head, and looked into Zhou Ziran's eyes, filled with struggle and pain. She opened her mouth, wanting to explain.
"Ziran, I..." Gu Yu's voice trembled, but she ultimately couldn't say it.
Seeing Gu Yu's pained expression filled Zhou Ziran's heart with sorrow.
"You don't have to say anything. I believe you," Zhou Ziran gently stroked Gu Yu's hair, his tone tender yet firm.
Upon hearing Zhou Ziran's words, Gu Yu could no longer hold back her tears, which streamed down her face. She tightly embraced Zhou Ziran, burying her head in his chest and crying silently.
Zhou Ziqi stood aside, watching the scene unfold with a complicated expression on his face. He glanced at the suffering Gu Yu and then at the steadfast Zhou Ziran, feeling a mix of emotions within him.
Zhou Ziqi watched as Gu Yu and Zhou Ziran walked away, his brow slightly furrowed. He quickly followed after them, saying, "Bro, wait for me."
The setting sun cast its glow on the campus path, stretching the shadows of the three into elongated forms. Gu Yu kept her head down, allowing her tears to fall silently while Zhou Ziran held her hand tightly without saying a word. Zhou Ziqi wanted to speak several times but swallowed his words upon seeing their heavy expressions.
"I'll take Xiaoyu home first," Zhou Ziran said as he stopped and turned to Zhou Ziqi.
Zhou Ziqi nodded and looked at Gu Yu. "Xiaoyu, don't worry. Everything will be alright."
Gu Yu raised his head, forcing a faint smile, and gently shook his head to express his gratitude.
Zhou Ziqi stood in place, watching the two leave. Lin Wei's words felt like a thorn, deeply piercing his heart.
Zhou Ziran silently accompanied Gu Yu until they reached an intersection, where a black sedan suddenly came rushing from the side, the screeching brakes shattering the tranquility of the evening.
"Watch out!" Zhou Ziran's pupils dilated as he pushed Gu Yu away.
With a loud crash, the black sedan collided with Zhou Ziran's body. The tremendous impact sent him flying several meters away, crashing heavily to the ground.
"Brother!" Zhou Ziqi's eyes widened in horror as he rushed frantically toward Zhou Ziran, who lay in a pool of blood.
"Ziran!" Gu Yu was also stunned by the sudden turn of events; she fell to the ground, her mind blank.
"Quick, call 120!" Zhou Ziqi shouted to the people around him as he picked up the unconscious Zhou Ziran.
