Chapter 144: What A Tragic Ending!
The Firmament Stone left her wrist and hovered in front of her, as if observing her expression, "Were you in love with him?"
Gu Xijiu lied on the bed, looked up at the canopy, and softly said, "I think so. I didn’t trust anyone else, as much as I trusted him. I told him all my secrets and I did not need to be vigil when he was around..."
The Firmament Stone said, "This was simply a tragedy..."
"Yes, it was a tragedy. I always thought that he liked me too, or else he would not be taking care of me so well. Every time I encountered any danger, he would fall from the sky like a knight and hug me in his arms, telling me not to be afraid, as he was there for me..."
She paused for a while and then continued, "Although I did not need his help most of the time, and sometimes he even alerted the enemy of his sudden arrival, I still liked the feeling of being taken care of. I thought he would be the love of my life. I never expected that..."
"That day I went for a coffee date with him and planned to propose to him. He had a cold temper so I thought that waiting for him to propose would take forever. Since we loved each other, it wouldn’t matter who proposed. Haha, I was so innocent back then. I never knew that he already had a fiancé and didn’t even know that he planned a scheme against me. I drank the coffee that he prepared for me... When the drugs started to kick in, he called his fiancé out from the other room and told me that I was a clone. His fiancé needed my heart to save her life..."
Tonight, Gu Xijiu seemed to be very open and voiced out all the secrets buried deep inside her heart.
But her voice had always been very calm. It was apparently a very tragic thing but she retold it, as if she was telling someone else’s story.
"And then?" The Firmament Stone could not wait to ask.
