Zhen Shan lost a lot of blood, and even the doctor issued a critical illness notice. But surprisingly, she survived in the end.

But Gu Ningyi's hair was half gray. Whether it was the housekeeper's imagination, he felt that the boss's face was even paler, almost transparent.

Gu Ningyi had no intention of explaining to the housekeeper, so she just asked him to get some hair dye for herself and dye her white hair black again.

After that, he stayed in front of Zhen Shan's bed, watching over her all night long.

Three days later, she woke up as expected.

When he woke up this time, Zhen Shan was still very calm, but not as quiet as when he was severely depressed before.

She seemed to have recovered, her eyes were no longer hollow, there was a little brightness, and her speech and reaction were no longer slow.

Zhen Shan raised his hand, put it against the side of Gu Ningyi's face, and smiled softly, pale and fragile, "Gu Ningyi, you are so ugly!"

The corners of Gu Ningyi's eyes turned red, and a watery color flashed in his eyes. He smiled softly and said in a hoarse voice, "Shan Shan is still as beautiful as before."

Zhen Shan looked at his thin and withered hands, his eyes trembled slightly, "You lied."

He held her hand and said, "I didn't lie to you, the kindness I see is always the most beautiful."

Zhen Shan's eyebrows were filled with a smile, "Do you dare to call me ugly?"

Gu Ningyi buried her face in their interlocked hands, "I don't dare."

Zhen Shan looked at the setting sun outside and asked in a daze: "Gu Ningyi, have I been asleep for a long time?"

"No, I just slept for a while," he said softly.

"Is that so? I feel like I've had a long, long dream, and then, I'm so tired, so tired..."

"When Shanshan is tired, go back to sleep. I'll call you later, okay?"

Zhen Shan shook his head, "I don't want to sleep anymore, Gu Ningyi, I want to go home."

She whispered softly: "On the balcony, the flowers and plants you gave me have not been watered for so long, and I don't know if they have withered."

Gu Ningyi's eyes flickered slightly as he remembered the first time he entered her apartment during the May Day holiday.

Then, every time she went back, he would be shameless, find various excuses to enter her personal space, and then move his things there little by little. In this way, he would slowly make her life full of his shadow.

Gu Ningyi misses that time very much. It would be great if he didn't plot against her and if there wasn't those ridiculous hatreds.

The corners of his lips trembled slightly and he responded in a low voice, "Okay."

Go home, back to their ordinary but warm home.

…

"Shanshan, please sit down for a while while I clean up the house."

Gu Ningyi helped Zhen Shan walk into the apartment and said softly.

Zhen Shan raised his head and looked at him, "Let me help you."

He poured a glass of warm water and put it into her hand, "It's okay. There is always a housekeeping aunt here to take care of it. It's not dirty. I just need to clean up the things. You sit down and rest for a while."

Zhen Shan smiled and said nothing more.

However, when she looked at everything in the apartment, her eyes were a little confused, "I always feel like I haven't been back for a long, long time."

Gu Ningyi paused slightly while packing things, and said with a smile: "You have been busy with the club transition and final exams some time ago, and you haven't been back for several months."

Zhen Shan nodded, "Yes."

Then, she held the water and sat obediently without asking anything else.

After returning to the apartment, Zhen Shan's spirits seemed to be much better, and he gradually regained his complexion. He could live like a normal person, and he would even chat and laugh with Gu Ningyi.

However, sometimes, Gu Ningyi raised his head to look at her, only to see her blankly letting herself go, which made her heart hurt badly. Even though she saw that the disease was cured, her spirit still could not fully recover or worsened after all.

, now it’s just a return to the past...

Gu Ningyi didn't dare to think about it anymore. There was nothing he could do anymore and everything could only depend on fate.

Zhen Shan didn't like to leave home. Every day she watered the flowers and plants, watched TV or books for a while, or watched Gu Ningyi make various snacks and sweets for her.

At first, after dinner, Gu Ningyi would try to ask her if she wanted to go out for a walk, but Zhen Shan was very repulsive and slightly anxious.

Gu Ningyi didn't dare to ask anymore. He wished that she would always be in his sight. If she didn't go out, she wouldn't see others, and others wouldn't be able to see her.

But all this is based on the premise that she can be healthy. Like now, she took the initiative to hide herself in a house. Gu Ningyi only felt anxious besides worry.

He was afraid that at some point, the doom hidden under the tranquility would roar and overwhelm them.

But whatever you fear will come to you.

That day, when Gu Ningyi was boiling sugar water for her in the kitchen, her body suddenly stiffened, the smell of blood spread, and her white shirt was dyed red with blood.

He suddenly came to his senses and quickly wiped off the blood on his hands to prevent it from touching the sugar water in the bowl.

Then, Gu Ningyi slowly raised his head and looked out the window. The original community building was distorted, and black mist surged in the bright sky, slowly collapsing. The whole world was swallowed up by darkness and destroyed in a few breaths, and they were the only ones left.

The apartment is still in pristine condition.

Gu Ningyi's eyes reflected the boundless darkness outside. For a moment, he withdrew his eyes and walked out with the sugar water as usual.

And the moment he walked out of the kitchen, the bloody clothes on his body returned to a clean white shirt, and the numerous wounds on his body healed.

In the bedroom, Zhen Shan, who had been taking a nap, was now standing in front of the bed with her back to him. There was a wooden box at her feet and a divorce agreement floating in the air.

Gu Ningyi didn't seem to see anything. She walked in lightly and said softly: "Shanshan, you wake up. I cooked taro and sago for you today."

Zhen Shan slowly turned around. Her face was still a little pale, but her phoenix eyes seemed to be frozen with ice. There was no empty space like before, and there was no trace of affection anymore. She just looked at Gu Ningyi coldly, with a cold look.

Heartless, irrelevant.
