Chapter 861: Chapter 861

Back then, Shangguan Yu always loved to call her that, over and over, tirelessly, especially after they quarreled.

No matter whose fault it was each time, he would always come over to admit his mistake before she even got angry and left, resting his forehead on her shoulder and starting to plead.

"Yaoyao, Yaoyao, please pay attention to me..."

Tears kept slipping from the corners of Gu Yao’s eyes; she missed how they were at that time so much, but there was no going back.

Shangguan Yu, you must live well, I will be waiting for you in the Netherworld.

In the next life, let’s be together properly again, I will definitely protect myself well and will not let you down.

At the moment Gu Yao closed her eyes, it seemed as if she saw the sunflowers blooming in Southern City, a golden sea, much like Shangguan Yu’s smile...

"Yaoyao, where are you?"

Gu Yao couldn’t help but smile; she heard Shangguan Yu calling her again, so wonderful...

This was not a hallucination; it was really Shangguan Yu calling her, he had found her.

However, Gu Yao had already completely closed her eyes and didn’t even see him in the end.

In the dark corridor, the soaked Shangguan Yu called out Gu Yao’s name, searching for Gu Sheng’s ward along the long corridor.

The sense of unease in his heart grew stronger, causing him to start losing composure.

In the hospital, due to the power outage, patients and their families were a bit noisy, looking for doctors or arguing blindly.

The anxious Shangguan Yu, who was searching for someone, became even more agitated and restless because of the noise.

Which ward number was it exactly, Shangguan Yu hadn’t paid attention to Gu Sheng’s ward number at the time, only remembering it was the ward on the left side of the corridor.

Finally, Shangguan Yu found it in the darkness.

The unease in his heart suddenly diminished by half, and he quickly stepped forward, rushing to the room’s entrance.

The scene that unexpectedly came into view choked all the remaining words in Shangguan Yu’s throat.

He saw Gu Sheng on the ground, holding Gu Yao’s body, crying so uncontrollably that his brain seemed frozen, unable to function.

An unexpected flash of lightning illuminated the entire room half-bright, and Gu Yao’s pale, lifeless face entered Shangguan Yu’s eyes, the blood on her chin and neck piercing painfully into his eyes. Check latest chapters at N0v3l.Fiɾe.net

Shangguan Yu was struck like by a bolt of thunder, completely stunned.

He stood dumbly at the door, just staring, not knowing if he forgot to move forward or was too afraid to.

Not knowing how long it was, he finally seemed to react belatedly.

"...What, what happened to her?"

He was so frightened he could barely speak.

The thick smell of blood in the air pounded fiercely at Shangguan Yu’s nerves, while Gu Sheng’s despairing, suppressed cries accompanied the sound of rain pouring outside. Everything made one feel despair and suffocation.

No one answered his question. Shangguan Yu attempted to move his numb, trembling legs, mechanically taking a step.

He dragged himself over the red-stained floor mixed with Gu Yao’s blood, taking difficult steps towards her.

Despite being only two or three meters away, it felt as though he was crossing thousands of mountains and rivers, taking a century, so exhausted he was utterly spent.

The closer he got to Gu Yao, the more his sluggish steps slowed, and he couldn’t help but hold his breath, not knowing whether it was to avoid that maddening smell of blood or because he was too nervous and scared to remember.

Finally, he came to her, then slowly squatted down, his eyes fixed on Gu Yao’s pale, bloodless face from start to finish.

"...What happened to Yaoyao?"
