Chapter 1382: You’re Mine Even If You’re Dead
After being put on the drip, Gu Junling’s fever began to fade and his face looked extremely pale and haggard, perhaps because of the alcohol. Even though he was already asleep, his forehead was still creased into a frown full of agony and vulnerability.
In the eyes of Zhou Tianyu, Gu Junling was mature, reliable, reserved and charming, though he was not as handsome as Han Mofeng, Gu Junling, and Xu Zhenyu. He had a unique charm that would make girls fall for him and he was exactly the type of man that young girls fancied. It was a pity that he didn’t become a celebrity.
Zhou Tianyu and Gu Junling were truly childhood sweethearts who had grown up together. She often complained about the fact that he was popular with girls. Later on, he began pestering her every day and was practically at her beck and call with no complaints.
However, she only treated him like a brother and a best friend.
The first time that Gu Junling confessed his feelings for her was at one of their clique gatherings. Due to the fact that she had drunk too much alcohol out of joy, she kissed Gu Junling in a drunken stupor and even slept with him.
As soon as she woke up the next morning, Gu Junling kissed her again and even made her take responsibility for her actions. Then, she was extremely bewildered and kicked Gu Junling off the bed in a moment of anxiousness. However, she would forever remember how her heart raced when Gu Junling kissed her with his cold and thick lips.
She reckoned that she must have fallen for Gu Junling.
She was still very troubled about the sudden change in his behavior.
She was even more distraught after finding out that Gu Junling had fancied her for several years.
However, she quite liked the feeling of it.
She wanted to accept Gu Junling and was going to do so if she didn’t overhear her parents’ conversation.
Back then, she was flabbergasted as she listened to her mother weep miserably while her father comforted the latter. It turned out the Zhou Family was not as glorious or glamorous as they seemed to be in the first place. The Zhou Family had become tainted ever since her mother married her father. There was actually a dark side behind closed doors.
Her mother was the one who had implicated the entire Zhou Family.
She suppressed her urge to question her parents and instead hid the matter deep beneath her heart while carefully trying to investigate the truth behind the matter. Later on, she found out about the Korean-Chinese Alliance, as well as the reason for her grandmother’s early death. She also discovered why her uncle became mentally unsound and got sent to the nursing home. It was all because of the Korean-Chinese Alliance.
After finding out everything, she felt extremely disappointed. She was extremely afraid that she might implicate Gu Junling and the entire Gu Family. Hence, he began to avoid him. However, she could not bring herself to reject Gu Junling because she understood him too well and knew that he wouldn’t give up on her easily.
She only felt terrified when Gu Junling told her that he wanted to marry her and create a beautiful future for her.
Hence, her family agreed to let her go overseas.
She wanted to leave everything behind, but she didn’t expect Gu Junling to find out. She had truly hurt him harshly.
She still remembered what Wen Xinya said to her about Gu Junling.
“Over my dead body!”
She had no idea what Gu Junling was thinking when he said those words, but she knew that Gu Junling was serious about it and would definitely stick to his word.
Zhou Tianyu gently caressed Gu Junling’s pale face and exclaimed sobbingly, “Why are you so silly!?!”
No one was sillier than Gu Junling.
Gu Junling, who was sleeping uneasily, suddenly grabbed Zhou Tianyu’s hand tightly and murmured incoherently, “Tianyu, Tianyu… don’t leave, don’t leave me…”
Zhou Tianyu could no longer hold her tears back any longer. She wept and rebuked. “Silly! Gu Junling, you’re the greatest fool in this world.”
Gu Junling pressed Zhou Tianyu’s hand on his face and began tearing up.
Zhou Tianyu hugged Gu Junling and bawled uncontrollably. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you. I actually love you.”
She had finally told him the words that she wanted to say to Wen Xinya just now. She had finally poured her heart out to him.
Men usually cried only when they were genuinely hurt.
Had she not witnessed Gu Junling tearing up subconsciously, she would have never known how upset he truly was.
At this moment, Gu Junling opened his eyes a little and murmured, “Tian… Tianyu!”
Zhou Tianyu got up from Gu Junling’s chest and exclaimed, “I’m here!”
Gu Junling stared at the tear-stained face in front of him that was surreal and beautiful.
“Is it really… really you? Am I not dreaming?”
If it’s not a dream, why is Zhou Tianyu in front of me now? Why is she staring at me with such a tender gaze that seems to be proof of her love for me?
Zhou Tianyu bawled and exclaimed, “It’s me, it’s me… it really is me!”
Gu Junling somehow found the energy to hug Zhou Tianyu’s waist tightly. He then pinned her down beneath him and stared at her in a smitten manner while caressing her tear-stained face with shaky fingers. “Tianyu, don’t leave me. Don’t go overseas!”
Zhou Tianyu could not restrain herself at all. A lump formed in her throat and she could not say anything except nod fervently.
Regardless of what happened in the future, she was at least by his side at this moment.
Gu Junling was extremely touched and lowered his head to kiss Zhou Tianyu.
Zhou Tianyu did not resist at all. Instead, she threw her arms around his neck and reciprocated the kiss.
Gu Junling’s kiss was not that pleasant because his breath still reeked of alcohol. However, Zhou Tianyu still felt rather blissful and almost cried tears of joy. It turns out the feeling of being kissed by a man she loved was so wonderful.
“Zhou Tianyu, you’re mine. You can only belong to me even if you’re dead.”
Perhaps because of the alcohol, Gu Junling was much more courageous and brave compared to usual times. He began to kiss Zhou Tianyu’s neck and began ripping her clothes apart. He had no idea what he was doing at all.
He was just thinking that that was the only way he could make her stay by his side forever.
He admitted that he was a little despicable.
However, he could no longer control himself anymore. If he were to let Zhou Tianyu leave, he would definitely be unable to live on.
“I’m yours. You’re the only one I belong to,” Zhou Tianyu murmured softly.
It was actually very easy for a girl to give herself to a man, on the condition that she genuinely loved him and was willing to give him her everything.
Zhou Tianyu was willing to give all of herself to the man she loved.
