Fifty-seven never give up

  "Ou Lian, wake up! Get out of bed quickly, I've made breakfast and it's all your favorite dishes."

  Gao Lunxu pushed open the door with a smile, still as gentle as before.

  What's going on? Didn't you already know the secret of Guo Lianxiu's cultivation? And wasn't this man's true face also torn open by yourself? Why can he still smile at me warmly like before? Am I supposed to forget everything that happened? Or was it all just a dream yesterday? Was it a dream? It feels real yet vague, my head hurts and I'm weak all over. What is really true? Can I still continue to believe in this man?

  Ou Lian tightly closed her eyes, hoping that when she opened them again, everything would change and she wouldn't be here, it was all just an illusion...

  "Ah." Ou Lin was startled, and the moment she opened her eyes, she still saw Gao Lingxiu. Gao Lingxiu sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her with a smile... it turned out that everything was real...

  "What's wrong? Is something uncomfortable?" Guo Lengxiu leaned over and touched Ou Zhen's head "No fever, why do you look so weak? If Ou Zhen is uncomfortable anywhere, tell me early."

  "How did I end up here?" Ou Lian's icy tone made Gao Lingxiu feel a chill run down his spine.

  "It was Ou Jingxuan who sent you over, saying that you had fainted and were sent to the hospital. After arriving at the hospital, you became like a madman and there was no way to give you a sedative, so he sent you home. This is your home, where else would he send you?" Guo Lingxiu said with a smile, Ou Lian felt a sense of familiarity yet fear.

  "That's fine, I'll go pack up my things. This isn't my home anymore, it's just yours." As she spoke, Oulian sat up and wanted to get out of bed.

  "Ou Zhen——!" Guo Lingxiu stopped her with one hand, his hand grasping Ou Zhen's arm with great force, making Ou Zhen feel a sharp pain.

  "Let go!"

  Ou Zhen pushed him with the same force as he had hugged her yesterday, possibly because he was really exhausted and didn't have any strength left, but instead Ou Zhen accidentally pushed himself onto the bed. Ou Zhen had no room to struggle free and could only glare at him resentfully.

  "Don't leave me, Oulian... don't leave me..." Guo Lingshu buried his face deep in Oulian's neck, hoping she would pity him.

  "Get up, Guo Lianxiu! Get up for me!" Although she had no strength left, Oulian was still shouting.

  "Ou Zhen... please forgive me? I really love you too much Ou Zhen..." Guo Lingxiu raised his head to look at Ou Zhen, tears constantly dripping onto Ou Zhen's chest, soon wetting her collar.

  。

  "It's impossible, I'd rather die than forgive you. So just let me go, it's the best ending for both of us. I want to forget and won't pursue this further. You'll also regret it for the rest of your life. Let me go." Oulian seemed to be negotiating as well as compromising, with a sense of helplessness.

  "Ou Zhen, don't you love me? Why can't we be together since we love each other? Ou Zhen, let's forget about those things, okay? Let's start anew, I don't want to lose you..."

  "If a woman, a woman who claims to love you very much, kills me and is good to you, stays with you, but later you find out the truth, what will happen? Will you still be with that woman?" Oulian cried silently, without making a sound, just quietly shedding tears.

  "You... will never forgive me, won't be with me again?" Guo Lingshu seemed to finally accept this reality, the reality of losing Ou Lin.

  "Let me go, set yourself free..." Ou Lin looked at the desperate Gao Lianxiu and didn't want to blame him anymore.

  "Ou Zhen, we can't end like this, you know how much I love you, I'm crazy for only wanting you, how can you heartlessly abandon me? Ou Zhen, can't you understand my bitter heart?" Guo Lingxiu didn't intend to get up, he was playing with Ou Zhen's hair, greedily wanting to possess her.

  "I've had enough, Guo Lengxiu! Get up!" Ou Zhen was also enraged, and he really found this person disgusting, not even willing to look him straight in the eye.

  "Ou Zhen... let's be together, you said you love me, you said you're willing, nothing can stop me from loving you, even if I die my soul will still love you. Ou Zhen, kiss me, can I kiss you? No matter what, the heart that loves you is true, you can't leave me with nothing, as long as we're together nothing bad will happen again. Ou Zhen, I love you, I love you..." Guo Lingxiu kissed Ou Zhen's forehead, eyes, nose, chin, and neck, waiting for Ou Zhen to respond.

  "If... this is what you want, if all you want is this corpse, then I'll give it to you. What's the big deal? It's not like I'm a virgin or anything. Anyone can get this, even my own brother Oujian Xuan can easily get it. What's so special about you? Your love looks so filthy, so worthless."

  "No... I'm different... I really love you... I don't just want your body... I want your heart, Oulian. I want you to love me like I love you..." Guo Lianxiu stopped kissing and looked at Oulian, he really loved her.

  。

  "It's impossible, Ou Zhen's heart will never belong to you. If you want to get Ou Zhen's body to satisfy yourself, I won't resist, just consider it a kind of insult to the love you said to me. If not, please let go, I want to leave here." Ou Zhen took advantage of Gou Lingxiu's sad state and successfully escaped his arms, standing up.

  "Ou Zhen... how is this possible? You clearly loved me..." Guo Lingxiu muttered to himself, his mind as disoriented as Ou Zhen's once was, unable to accept.

  "No! I don't love you! I'll leave you, and we will never see each other again. I'll fall in love with someone else, marry someone else, have children with someone else, spend the rest of my life with someone else. It's impossible for me to be with you!"

  She loudly warned him, as if to wake herself up, that she couldn't have any sympathy for this man, no matter how painful her heart was now. She mustn't show that she still cared about him, or else everything would be over. Once she fell into his trap, they would be together for the rest of their lives. How could she spend her life with the murderer of Yuan Bin and her own child? How could she live with a clear conscience then? So she mustn't go soft.

  "Hehe... Ou Zhen, have you never liked me at all?" Guo Lingxiu smiled and looked at Ou Zhen with pitiful eyes that almost took Ou Zhen's breath away.

  Did I like him? Did I like Guo Lianxiu? Oulang was also asking herself. No, it wasn't just liking, it was love, deep and profound love, she had already fallen into it... Otherwise, she wouldn't have thought of letting go of this man so easily. It turned out that her heart had loved him more than Yuan Bin. No wonder she would be heartbroken to death, no wonder she wanted to leave him quickly, no wonder she wanted to cut off the idea of loving him ruthlessly. She just didn't want to spend her life in regret, just wanted to make him forget her soon, this woman who seemed to have forgotten gratitude and played with others' emotions. Just didn't want to be sad and hurt anymore.

  "No, nothing." Oulian turned around.

  "Alright, I... got it..." Guo Lunxiu nodded and didn't know what else to say. His own love had become a joke, a burden on others, so there was nothing more to be said.

  Ou Lian was preparing to pack her bags and leave as soon as possible, or else she would be reluctant to part with them again. She opened the wardrobe, and all the clothes inside were bought by Guo Lingxiu for herself, these would only add to her memories when brought back, it's better to leave empty-handed, so there would be no attachments at all.

  "These clothes seem to be all bought by you for me, I won't take them away, just throw them all away"

  "Ou Lian turned around to look at Gao Lingxiu, but Gao Lingxiu didn't say a word. 'And this necklace, you gave it to me on my birthday, now I'm returning it to you.' Ou Lian took off the necklace she loved the most from her neck and threw it onto the bed. 'Although the clothes I'm wearing were also bought by you, but I don't want to run naked, I think you're not that petty, are you?' Ou Lian hoped he would say something, even if it was just a grunt."

  "Will you have the last breakfast with me? For the last time, this is my only luxury." Guo Lengxiu stood up and looked at Ou Lin. Yes, this was his only request, and also the only one that Ou Lin could agree to.

  Ou Lian also looked at him without speaking, she was afraid that she would burst into tears, and simply walked out of the bedroom.

  Today's breakfast was indeed sumptuous, is this the last meal before parting? Without him, Guo Lianxiu will get used to eating breakfast on time every day by herself from now on. She didn't have this habit before, maybe in the future she can do it alone too, having already gotten used to it.

  Ou Zhen sat down, and Guo Lingxiu also went to sit down with him. He wished this was just an ordinary morning, and they were still eating breakfast like before. Why would this meal be the last one? No, he absolutely couldn't let that happen.

  "The soup today is delicious." Oulian indeed drank an extra bowl of soup, which was truly tasty.

  "Then drink it all up, I won't have any, give it all to you." Guo Lengxiu smiled.

  "That would burst my stomach." Ou Lin also smiled, was it because he was hungry that his appetite had improved?

  "Hehe, later you will miss this feeling and won't be able to forget it." Gao Lingxiu was eating melon seeds, the two of them still looked like they used to.

  "Guo Lunxiu, don't talk nonsense to me again, I won't listen. This is the last time I'll eat your cooking." Ou Lian put down her bowl, seemingly unbothered.

  "It's okay, but don't worry, if you want to drink this delicious soup in the future, you can come find me and I'll make it for you forever." Gao Lingxiu still smiled warmly.

  "No, I won't waste any more words on you, I'm leaving." Oulian couldn't stay any longer, couldn't bear to look directly at the face she liked, or else she would really have stayed.

  Guo Lianxiu sent her downstairs, but Ou Zhen didn't tell him where she was going. Guo Lianxiu knew that she wouldn't leave for the time being because there were still her brother Ou Jingxuan and her good sister Xiao Xiao here, and also him. He had confidence to make Ou Zhen never leave him forever, for a lifetime...
