Gu Yusheng was silent and still for a long time before he moved his body. Lu Bancheng could barely make out his profile lying on the sofa in the dark.
After a long time, Gu Yusheng finally cleared his throat and murmured to himself, “She left me before I could show her my love.”
He paused before continuing, his voice hoarse, “I had decided to give her everything, but she left me. Do you know how scary it is for me to lose someone? But I still let myself fall in love with her. I don’t even know her name. I’ve never seen her real face.”
He covered his face with his hands and began breathing heavily. “Now I have nothing again.”
Lu Bancheng looked solemnly at Gu Yusheng in the dark for a long time before saying, “Don’t be sad. You are still young. No one knows what’s going to happen in the future. You’ll meet a better girl and soon, too.”
“No, I won’t.” Gu Yusheng said distantly. With those three words, he quietly snuffled.
Lu Bancheng heard him but was not sure if he was actually crying. Every time Lu Bancheng held his breath to hear, Gu Yusheng also seemed to be holding his breath.
When Gu Yusheng eventually talked again, he sounded calm. “I will never meet another girl like her.”
She is the most exquisite girl in the world.
No one could ever replace her.
I will never be able to find her, but never will I want another girl.
My heart—it’s hers.
Thinking of this, Gu Yusheng’s eyes had bee sore. The words from his mouth shook as he said, “Besides, I am not going to meet other girls.”
Gu Yusheng touched the corners of his eyes with his fingers and felt something moist. He was so shocked that his body went stiff. He said, “Bancheng, I can only imagine her in my fu–”
Before he fully pronounced “future,” he stopped talking.
Lu Bancheng heard another quiet snuffling.
Is he crying?
Lu Bancheng tried to calm him. “Bro Sheng?”
He did not respond for some time but finally let out a “hmm.” He sounded so casual that it seemed he didn’t have a problem in the world.
Lu Bancheng heard rustling and looked up to see Gu Yusheng standing up from the sofa in the dark.
Gu Yusheng went into the bathroom and closed the door behind him.
Lu Bancheng assumed that Gu Yusheng had gone into the bathroom to cry privately, but the bathroom door opened sooner than he expected.
