hank you, Xiaomei," Cheng Kexin was moved by her words. It was rare for someone to be so unconditionally kind to her, "Thank you for always caring about me." 。""Ke Xin's sister is also very nice to m..."Gu Chi, I really love you. Even though my legs were injured because of you back then, I never blamed you. These years, you've seen how I..."

Cheng Ruoruo was still talking about her grievances and her love for Gu Chi, but she was interrupted by Gu Chi's words. "Cheng Ruoruo, did you misunderstand something"

Upon hearing Gu Chi address her by name and ask her such a question, Cheng Ruoruo was momentarily stunned. "What do you mean Am I misunderstanding something"

Taking a deep breath, Gu Chi remembered the doctor's instructions and hesitated for a moment. However, he couldn't let Cheng Raoer misunderstand him any longer.

Knelt down, Gu Chi earnestly looked into Cheng Ruo'er's eyes and said: "Ruo'er, I know, your leg was because of me back then. I will take responsibility for you and will take good care of your life. But—"

Gu Chi emphasized his words.

"But you're not my girlfriend, and I don't have romantic feelings for you."

"This is impossible!" Hearing Gu Chi's words, Cheng Ruo'er exclaimed excitedly, then tightly grasped Gu Chi's hand. "Gu Chi, don't you remember Five years ago, you promised me that you would accompany me for life, you can't break your promise!"

“Five years ago, I did agree to stay with you and take care of you, but I never promised to be with you. Rao’er, what happened between us is long gone, why don’t you let go of the past feelings anymore” Gu Chi patiently persuaded Cheng Rao’er, wanting to pull his hand out, but unfortunately Cheng Rao’er was holding on too tightly.

"How is that possible! You're lying to me!" Cheng Ruor cried out angrily, "I don't believe it. For these five years you've taken such good care of me, listened to everything I said, and agreed to all my requests. How could your heart not have a place for me"

“I take care of you because your legs are disabled, and it's my fault. I do this out of guilt, not because I like you, understand”

Only after hearing Gu Chi's words did Cheng Rao realize that all these years, Gu Chi had always kept a suitable distance from her, not even touching her with a finger. She had always thought that Gu Chi was so careful in taking care of her because he liked her, but it turned out to be something else entirely

Gu Chi continued, "Ru'er, two people stay together because they like each other, and only that way can they last. Do you want me to be with you because of my guilt"

“I don’t care!” Realizing that Gu Chi might truly not have her in his heart, Cheng Rao panicked, tightly grasping Gu Chi’s hand, her expression pleading. “Gu Chi, I don’t care about any of this, I don’t care why you’re with me, I just want you to be with me. I already don’t have legs, if you leave me again, I truly won’t have anything left!”

"Ru'er, listen to me..."

"I won't listen, and I don't care!" Cheng Ruoruo was already on the verge of madness. "Gu Chi, you can't leave me, you can't leave my side! Gu Chi, I only have you, I don't care if you like me or not, as long as you are by my side, it's enough for me! I..."

"Ru'er!" Gu Chi pulled his hand back, gripping Cheng Ru'er's shoulders with both hands and shouted at her, "Ru'er, listen to me carefully!"

Gu Zhi's roar had silenced Cheng Ruoruo. She finally calmed down, her face full of tears as she looked at Gu Zhi. Seeing Cheng Ruoruo like this, Gu Zhi couldn't bear to say the next words, but he couldn't hesitate any longer.

"Ruo'er, I can't. Even if you could, I can't force myself to be with you just because of your legs. If I did that, it wouldn't just be irresponsible of me to you, but also irresponsible of me to myself."

"You lied to me! These are all excuses, you still can't forget Su Ke Xin, right Otherwise, why didn't you tell me these things before, and only say them now that she's back!"

"Yes."

To her surprise, Gu Chi admitted it so straightforwardly. Cheng Ruo'er was stunned for a moment, and when she came to her senses, tears flowed even harder.fore the two could even open their mouths to refuse, Yu Shan burst into tears and continued, 。"Xiaomo, I know you look down on me, thinking I'm just a kept man, the Third Son. But my family isn't well...
