rebirth retreat

Chapter 41

After Yan Dongting took the medicine, the cold and fever on his body subsided and burned again, and the fever subsided again, sometimes cold and then hot, and fell asleep again and again until the afternoon before waking up in a daze.After waking up, he felt as if he was submerged in water. He stretched out his hand to touch it, and the sheet under him was already wet with the cold sweat from his body.

He feebly removed the towel covering his forehead, propped himself up and sat up, and then saw Gu Liuguang who was lying on the bedside sleeping.

The movement of getting out of bed stopped, and he sat there, quietly and intently looking at that unfamiliar yet familiar face.

A child in his early twenties should have a vigorous appearance, but because of him, he became thin and pale, and his brows were full of melancholy.At that moment, he felt as if time went back many years ago, with the very similar beginning, the very similar process, and... the very similar ending.

There seemed to be something blocked in his chest, he coughed twice softly, then immediately looked worriedly at the sleeping man.Seeing that he didn't wake up, Yan Dongting heaved a sigh of relief, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.Stepping on the ground, a burst of dizziness hit immediately.He quickly supported the cabinet on the side to stabilize his body, and only slowly straightened up after the dizziness disappeared.

How many years have not been so embarrassing.He shook his head with a wry smile, if Liu Guang saw him like this, he would laugh at him and pretend to be pitiful.

Walking to the closet, he took out a soft quilt from it. He went to the bed, unfolded it, and covered the sleeping person.

After a pause, he couldn't hold back after all, and gently hugged that person through the quilt.

The long empty embrace was finally filled again, Yan Dongting's eyes became hot, and he let out a contented sigh.

How long has it been since I can hug him like this?Every time he wanted to do this, he would always be pushed away forcefully. He always thought he would do something, but he really just wanted to hug him and confirm that he was there.

Perhaps, this is the last time I hold you like this. From now on, you must live for yourself.

With a sigh, Yan Dongting pushed the hair on Gu Liuguang's forehead, wanting to kiss his thin face, but restrained himself.

Letting go, he stood up, put on his coat, opened the bedroom door and walked towards the study.

Sitting down at the desk, Yan Dongting fell into deep thought.

He didn't know how the woman found out that Liu Guang and Gude had exchanged souls, but there was no doubt that she once again grabbed Liu Guang's weakness and successfully threatened him.

Liu Guang is his only weakness, but likewise, he is also Liu Guang's weakness.

Liu Guang hated him, loathed him, and didn't want to be with him. He could understand why he chose to take the USB flash drive because he was afraid of his identity being exposed.But he also believed that even if Liu Guang really took revenge on him according to the woman's wishes, the woman would not be willing to let Liu Guang go.

He didn't want Liu Guang to always be threatened by that woman, to be in fear all day long, and to compromise everywhere in order to satisfy her—just like before.

Heh, he thought he had taught her enough lessons last time, but he didn't expect her to still not give up.He shouldn't be merciful because of the fact that she has kept her own life for so many years.cooperate?Only ghosts believed that she would be so kind.

He said that as long as she dared to act rashly, he would definitely remove this stumbling block for Liu Guang.

"Cough, cough, cough..." There was a surge of excitement in his chest, and he covered his mouth and coughed violently.After he regained his strength, he sighed and picked up the two contracts that were placed on the table with great care.

For so many years, he thought that as long as he was strong enough, he could wrap Liu Guang under his wings forever and protect him from any harm.However, he neglected that he was the one who hurt Liu Guang the most.It was because he was too selfish, Liu Guang shouldn't be someone's vassal, and he shouldn't be Liu Guang's concern.Liu Guang should have his own life, and one day, he will become stronger.

He was wrong, very wrong.It's not too late to wake up now, is it?

With a wry smile, he unconsciously picked up the ring box at hand and pressed the button on it.

The beautiful lid pops open to reveal the contents of the box.

His fingers paused, he sat up straight suddenly, and looked at the ring box in shock.

Why is there only one left? !Where is the other one?

He got up in a panic and rummaged through the study.I searched under the table, under the carpet, under the bookcase, but couldn't find it.

He shivered and propped himself up on the table, feeling so uncomfortable that he couldn't breathe.

where it goes?It was still there when he looked at it two days ago.Thinking of the medicine box in the bedroom, Yan Dongting's dead heart ignited a glimmer of hope.

Is...was it taken away by Liu Guang?

He looked sideways in the direction of the bedroom, only to catch a glimpse of a silver light in the wastebasket at his feet.Dazed for a moment, he immediately squatted down and turned the wastebasket upside down.

Waste paper and rubbish were scattered on the ground, Yan Dongting flicked them with trembling hands, and finally found the lost ring among them.

He held it tightly in his hand, feeling a tearing pain in his heart.

It was Liu Guang, it was Liu Guang who threw away the ring, right?

Did Liu Guang hate him so much, loathe him so much, that he didn't even want to see a small ring?

He didn't expect to be able to hand over the ring to Liu Guang, he wanted to keep it secretly, treating it as an unattainable dream.But even such a lonely dream, wouldn't Liu Guang allow him to have it?

Standing up unsteadily, he put the ring back into the box. He looked at his embarrassed reflection in the glass of the bookcase, and felt utter despair.

What else is there to choose, to hesitate?

He can live without you, you already knew that, didn't you?

This time Gu Liuguang slept very restlessly. He dreamed that he was sitting on a small boat, like a rootless duckweed, drifting along the river to the boundless distance. Just when the fragile boat was about to be overturned by the sky, he suddenly woke up.

Panting heavily, her heart seemed to be still immersed in a dream, beating wildly irregularly.

He supported his aching head, propped himself up, and unexpectedly found that he was covered with a quilt.Looking up suddenly, the bed was empty, and the person who was lying there was gone.

Nonsense!Has he recovered from his illness?

Standing up angrily with clenched fists, Gu Liuguang quickly walked to the door, opened it and looked out.

There was no one in the huge living room, Gu Liuguang frowned tightly, looking around the room wondering where the man went.

At this time, he suddenly heard a slight sound of the machine running, accompanied by a very low coughing sound.

In the study.

Gu Liuguang's heart tightened, he turned and walked towards the study.

Standing by the door, through the half-covered door of the study, he saw that the man was sitting in front of the paper shredder, tore off sheets of paper from the book in his hand, and sent them to the paper shredder with a blank expression on his face. .His face was extremely ugly, his brows were tightened, and his sharp and energetic eyes were as dark as a lake of stagnant water without a trace of waves.Every time he tore a few sheets, he couldn't help coughing, his face was full of suppressed pain.

Gu Liuguang was a little out of breath. He pressed his chest and turned his gaze to the notebook in the man's hand.

The book had already been torn beyond recognition by him, but from such a distance, Gu Liuguang could still see the dense words written on it, divided into paragraphs, like some clauses.

Terms... Gu Liuguang suddenly looked at the desk next to him, and found that the contract that was originally placed there was gone.He was shaken all over, pushed open the half-hidden door forcefully, walked in and said angrily:

"what are you doing!"

Yan Dongting didn't look up at him, but put all the remaining contracts on the shredder.

Gu Liuguang immediately rushed forward to rescue them, but before he touched the paper, he was grabbed by someone.

Yan Dongting's hands were still so cold, and the coldness penetrated to Gu Liuguang's heart, making him shiver.

Watching the last piece of paper being gradually devoured by the shredder, Gu Liuguang yelled at Yan Dongting with red eyes: "Why did you ruin the contract!"

"Get out." Yan Dongting let go of his hand and said coldly.

The cold touch still remained on his hand, Gu Liuguang stared blankly at the person in front of him, unable to recover for a while.

what did he say?

Seeing that Gu Liuguang didn't move, Yan Dongting raised his voice and said angrily: "I'll let you out—cough, cough—" His chest rose and fell violently, and he started coughing forcefully.

Gu Liuguang's face was pale, he held his trembling hands tightly, and said, "Why, give me a reason."

Yan Dongting took a deep breath, suppressed the urge to cough, and said in a hoarse voice with no expression on his face: "I don't want to see you again. The contract is ruined. From now on, you and Dongtian will have nothing to do with each other."

Why?why!

Gu Liuguang really wanted to grab the man by his collar and ask him if he wanted to do something again, but looking at the man's emotionless eyes, he felt that his strength was gone.

"Okay, that's what you said." Gu Liuguang stepped back, nodded and gritted his teeth.

"Get out." Yan Dongting said forcefully.

Gu Liuguang turned around abruptly and rushed out quickly.

Looking at the back that was not walking very smoothly, Yan Dongting tightly held the armrest of the chair, restraining the urge to catch up in his heart.

"Boom!" The loud door closing sounded in my ears, the room finally returned to calm, and he was finally the only one left in this world.

After taking a few deep breaths, he stood up in a trance.With weak steps, he came to the living room.He looked out through the large French windows.At this time, the sky was getting dark, and the street lights on both sides of the road were turned on, and the person he put on his heart was walking in the dim twilight, one step at a time, one step at a time, gradually going away, just like in his memory Every time you leave.
