Chapter 158 A Ray Of Light For Him
Yan Xi looked at Gu Shen in disbelief. She did not expect Gu Shen to be willing to tell her about the car accident and expose his inner scar to her.
This was a scar that was engraved in his heart. It could never be healed. Although it had improved under the psychiatrist’s treatment, once he recalled it, he felt like he had been thrown into a bone-chilling ice water, making him shiver violently.
Yan Xi hugged Gu Shen and said gently, “Gu Shen, the truck driver was responsible for the accident, not you. You don’t have to take responsibility for everything. You don’t have to live your life in guilt. Your parents definitely don’t want to see you like this, because they love you very much.”
“They won’t blame you. They just want to see you live well, happily, carefreely, or alive.”
Gu Shen opened his eyes, his eyelashes trembling.
“But everyone… Everyone is talking about me being stubborn and saying that I killed my parents.”
“It’s not you.” Yan Xi hugged him tighter, shaking her head vigorously.
“The people who said that know nothing. They’re wrong! They used words to attack you and blamed you for everything. They are wrong!”
Gu Shen did not speak. He leaned into Yan Xi’s arms. Her embrace was very warm, making Gu Shen feel that the snowy night that night did not seem so cold.
The book only talked about Gu Shen’s suffering, but Yan Xi knew that he had suffered more than mere words could describe.
After suddenly losing his parents and legs, he still had to endure the harsh words and treatments from his relatives for so many years. Yan Xi did not dare to think about how he endured all this.
“Actually, every one of us is a small planet.” Yan Xi sniffed and said with a smile, “The dark matter around us are those deceased relatives and friends. We can no longer see them, but under the influence of gravity, they will still rotate around us. If we work hard to shine and make our planet like the sun, we can light up the way home.”
“Life can’t be eternal, but love can. So your parents never left. They just changed their way of staying by your side.” Gu Shen hugged Yan Xi tighter, as if trying to confirm whether the girl in his arms really existed or not.
He was restrained in the endless darkness, but now, a beam of light shone into his life, dispelling all the darkness.
The two of them hugged quietly. After a while, Yan Xi asked awkwardly, “It’s almost 12 o’clock. Do you want to rest?”
Gu Shen did not speak nor let go of his hand.
“Shall I lie down with you for a while more?”
Gu Shen nodded and lay down with Yan Xi. One of his hands was still on her waist, unwilling to let go.
What a clingy boy.
Yan Xi had been busy the entire day and did not take a long nap. After a while, her mind started to drift off and she quickly fell asleep in Gu Shen’s arms.
Gu Shen lowered his eyes to look at Yan Xi quietly.
The words she said just now were still fresh in his mind. No matter how many words others said, they could not compare to a single word from her.
Gu Shen could not help but reach out his hand to touch Yan Xi’s pretty face. His fingertips wandered and finally landed on her lips. He bent down and gently kissed her lips.
It was a kiss in its pure form.
“Sweet dreams,” he said gently.
Gu Shen couldn’t fall asleep immediately, because his heart was still surging with emotions.
He was wondering when he fell in love with her.
Did he fall in love with her after she gave the roses to him that evening, or after she protected him in that restaurant?
Every word she said and every kiss made Gu Shen’s heart throb.
Gu Shen could not figure it out.
He had never been in a relationship before and couldn’t make out this complicated mix of feelings. He was invincible in the business world, but in love, he was just a beginner.
