Flowers bloom without worries

Chapter 133 Facing Your True Heart

Lan Xi's tears burst out of her eyes like a dam bursting, blurring her vision. She stared at Gu Tingyan in front of her, with endless emotions surging in her heart, but she didn't know how to express it.

Lan Xi used to be like a cold-blooded killing machine, but when faced with the care and love given by Gu Tingyan, waves gradually appeared in her heart. Although she could feel this deep love, whenever Gu Tingyan tried to confess to her, Lan Xi always chose to escape involuntarily.

As the days passed, Gu Tingyan gradually understood that the reason why Lan Xi avoided him was because he had not yet given her enough sense of security. So, he no longer forced Lan Xi to accept his feelings, but quietly waited for the right time.

Gu Tingyan stroked Lan Xi's photo, feeling extremely painful: "Xixi, I have left that organization. Do you know? In fact, I have always been able to quit at any time, but I never did it, because there is still someone in the organization that I care about - that is you. If I leave, who will protect you?"

Lan Xi listened to Gu Tingyan's words silently, and was moved. She knew that she did not need the protection of others, but she also understood that even the strongest woman sometimes longed for a warm and solid shoulder to lean on.

Gu Tingyan continued, "I originally planned to take you away from the organization after you completed this mission and find a place where no one knows about it to live together. There will be no disputes or killings there, only peace and tranquility."

"But I still failed to protect you! If I had been more resolute at that time and resolutely stopped you from carrying out that dangerous mission, perhaps today's tragedy would not have happened, and you would not have encountered that accident. I used to think that I was strong enough to protect you; I also firmly believed that as long as I gave my all and fought hard, I would be able to get you out of danger. However, reality slapped me hard in the face and made me realize that all this was just my wishful thinking and I overestimated my abilities."

Gu Tingyan, a man of iron determination, never cried for anything. Even when seriously injured, he always gritted his teeth and refused to show weakness in front of others. But since Lan Xi left him, every night when it was quiet, he would quietly come to Lan Xi's room and cry silently alone.

Lan Xi felt so distressed that she wanted to reach out her hands and gently wipe away the tears on Gu Tingyan's cheeks, but she could no longer do such a simple action. She could only stare at the man who loved her deeply and watch him bear all the pain and sorrow alone.

"Silly boy, this is not your fault. You really shouldn't have taken all this pain upon yourself, and you shouldn't have let yourself get bogged down in the mire of memories. After all, my departure is an indisputable fact, and no matter how you struggle and resist, you can't change this outcome."

How easy is it to let go of a sincere and deep relationship? Especially when Gu Tingyan witnessed his beloved leaving him, the heart-wrenching pain could not be described in words.

For Gu Tingyan, it was simply an unspeakable torture. However, the cruel reality was like a thick wall in front of him, preventing him from taking a step forward and breaking free.

"Ting Yan, please wait for a moment. After I have properly dealt with You'er's affairs, I will do my best to find a way to return. No matter what difficulties and obstacles I encounter, no matter how many ups and downs I go through, I will do my best to return to your side. This time, I will never avoid my deep love for you. I will be honest with you, pour out my heart to you without reservation, and entrust my sincere heart to you."

In the following days, Lan Xi still failed to return to Wuyou's body, and her soul always accompanied Gu Tingyan silently. Lan Xi was shocked to find that since her departure, Gu Tingyan's daily life had become extremely monotonous and boring. After dealing with some official business every day, he would return to his former residence at nightfall. Every night, Gu Tingyan would hug Lan Xi's photo tightly, drink alone, and when he felt tired, he would fall asleep with the photo in his arms, and often even forget to eat and sleep. Lan Xi was worried, fearing that if this continued, Gu Tingyan's body would be overwhelmed and fall ill, but at the moment she was powerless.

There was a moment when Lan Xi prayed to God to let her accompany Gu Tingyan in this way. At least in this way, she could still see Gu Tingyan. If she returned to Wuyou's body, she didn't know when she would be able to come back, and she didn't know when she would see Gu Tingyan again? But in the past few days, Lan Xi found that she was spending less and less time with Gu Tingyan. She knew that she was about to leave here and would no longer be able to accompany Gu Tingyan. This made Lan Xi cherish every day with Gu Tingyan even more. She was afraid that she would leave at any time and she was afraid that she would never see Gu Tingyan again.
