She almost burst into laughter uncontrollably.
But the pain in her thigh snapped her thoughts back to reality.
She struggled to regulate her breathing, suppress the myriad knots in her heart, and the stabbing pain it concealed.
"Only when one day he held me, weeping and calling out 'Ziteng, don't die, please don't die...' did I realize that he knew Ziteng was dead, and he knew I was Yingteng."
That was the only time he had held her, that man she idolized in her heart, completely breaking down as he held her, sobbing uncontrollably, repeatedly crying out for Ziteng not to die, a cry that pierced her heart like needles, the pain was beyond words.
It was also in that moment that she belatedly realized why Gu Lianhe had never shared a bed with her!
