Her wrist was in pain, but her heart felt even worse!It was as if she took a s.a.d.i.s.tic pleasure in yanking the bracelet off her wrist, thinking that that would allow her to ignore the greater pain within her heart.
She was still having a hard time trying to get the bracelet off her wrist when Lan Yaoguang woke up. He was shocked, and hurriedly went over to ask, "Sister, what are you doing?!"
He held Gu Xijiu"s hand. "You can never take this thing off your wrist. Stop doing that…"
Gu Xijiu s.n.a.t.c.hed herself away from him. "I am not your sister!"
That was indubitably her own body and her soul. Why did everyone see her as someone else?!
Lan Jingke. Everyone saw her as Lan Jingke. If that were the case, where was Gu Xijiu?
In their eyes, why was Gu Xijiu never treated as a human? Why did she have to be sacrificed? Gu Xijiu, for the first time, had an urge to destroy everything around her!
Lan Yaoguang took a few steps backwards. For a moment, he was lost. He looked around, and after having failed to spot Di Fuyi, he wanted to scream his lungs out.
It seems Di Fuyi had left him with a lot of issues to deal with.
Although Lan Yaoguang was generally good with women, he did not know where to start when dealing with the girl right before his eyes. He did not know how to appease her.
In fact, he also wanted to run away. However, he could not bear to leave his sister alone. It had not been easy for her to come back.
He mused, and said, "Sis, if you find it unbearable, just smash something. Everything in this palace is up for you to smash…" Lan Yaoguang had done this before. He had experience.
Gu Xijiu had a sudden realization. Even if she could destroy everything in this house, what would she be able to get? Could she get her heart and soul that she had poured into the relations.h.i.+p back? Could she turn back time?
"Go out! Let me have some peace."
Lan Yaoguang paused for a bit and went out.
Of course, he was afraid that his "sister" would run away, and hence, instructed his people to keep an eye on all exits of the palace.
Although Gu Xijiu was able to teleport, to leave the Blue Hill Continent, she would need to get through a specific exit.
Anyway, it would be better to allow her some time to vent. Hence, Lan Yaoguang gave in to her wishes.
Gu Xijiu stood silently in the palace. A long time later, she finally moved and disappeared momentarily.
…
In a deserted corner of the Blue Hill Continent.
Gu Xijiu hugged her knees to herself and fixed her eyes on the sea water above her. Time pa.s.sed, and as she finally came back to her senses; her face was wet.
She looked like a baby having herself rolled up, with her face buried in her palms.
As a secret agent herself, patience was in her blood. Even in that deserted area, she tried to stifle her sobs at the beginning. She was like a creature in despair, weeping while licking her wounds.
Gradually, her face was covered in tears. Her tears dropped like pearls that had broken off from their string. They flowed through her hands and wet her dress. She tilted her head upwards to stop her tears from flowing, but instead, they flowed down from the corner of her eyes. Wiping them did not stop them from flowing. The agony in her heart was no longer bearable, and finally, she bawled her heart out.
She knew that, on a day unlike any other day, at that deserted corner, her heart had stopped.
…
Di Fuyi stood in silence, and his face was ashen, making him look like a fossil, as he looked at her in earnest.
