Chapter 1529: Return to Life
The weather today is nice. Gu Fan finally steps outside and begins to return to his normal life, but the first place he wants to go is a place of sorrow.
In a remote suburban area, there is a cemetery surrounded by beautiful mountains and clear waters. Lin Xi rests here, her life withered away during her blooming years which fills one with regret.
Gu Fan just stares blankly at the tombstone for a long time, recalling past memories in his mind, how he met Lin Xi, how he shamelessly created opportunities to get close to her, and then eventually won her over.
The happier the memories, the more pain Gu Fan feels in his heart. He closes his eyes, takes a few deep breaths, trying to calm the tearing pain inside.
Someone once said, if Gu Fan didn’t have Lin Xi, his life wouldn’t be like it is now, as if Lin Xi was dragging Gu Fan down.
But to Gu Fan, it seems it was Lin Xi’s misfortune to have met him, otherwise she would not have withered away at such a young age.
"If only you hadn’t met me, perhaps none of this would have happened." Gu Fan sighed, unable to forgive himself.
Gu Fan pulls out a ring from his pocket and can’t help but produce a bitter smile. He had planned to propose to Lin Xi after returning from Dark City, but fate played its tricks.
At this moment, Lin Yue arrives. He didn’t expect to encounter Gu Fan here and is momentarily stunned, then his face stiffens, showing a not-so-welcoming expression.
