"Gu Xiaobei, you are so capable!" Li Haonan's tone had no intention of approving, but instead hid a layer of terrible anger. Gu Xiaobei almost heard the sound of his teeth grinding in secret. She was so scared that she leaned into He Zijun's arms. He Zijun quickly reached out to hug her.

She burrowed into He Zijun's arms like this, which was definitely more angry than killing Li Haonan's ancestors for eighteen generations. The eyes of the two men met in the air, and Li Haonan's face turned cold. There was a bitter aura in his eyes when he looked at He Zijun, which faintly conveyed the solemn hostility, as if the smoke from Gu Xiaobei in the corridor had just been brought in and lingered in the sky again.

But when he saw Gu Xiaobei leaning against He Zijun's arms, he staggered and took a step back, smiled mockingly, and his eyes seemed to be an extinguished fire, leaving only a piece of black ashes.

He turned around without saying a word, his steps were fast, and he didn't breathe heavily until he left the ward.

Gu Xiaobei didn't expect Li Haonan to let him go easily. She stood there and stared at Li Haonan's back disappearing from the door. She felt her body emptied from the inside out, and her mind was buzzing, and she had unprecedented loss, almost occupying all her senses.

He Zijun let go of Gu Xiaobei and walked over to close the door. When he came back, he saw Gu Xiaobei still sitting there quietly in a daze. He stood beside her for a while before sitting next to her without saying a word, ignoring the confusion in her eyes, he reached out to take her into his arms.

He used a lot of strength to hold Gu Xiaobei tightly in his arms. Gu Xiaobei felt that He Zijun's arms were trembling slightly, and he woke up a little, and asked hurriedly: "Brother Zijun, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

He Zijun did not answer, but just hugged her tighter. Gu Xiaobei couldn't see his expression, and was a little worried. He tried his best to break free from his arms. He was afraid that he would hurt him too hard and still weak in the illness. He asked repeatedly, "Brother Zijun, how are you?"

"Be good at Xiaobei, don't move!" He Zijun's voice was obviously choked. Gu Xiaobei was so scared that he didn't dare to ask again, so he just obediently asked him to hold him like this. But for a moment, Gu Xiaobei suddenly thought of his sister. He Zijun was now his brother-in-law. She waved her head and suddenly broke free from him, then stood aside.

He Zijun's eyes were a little red, and there was a little wetness on the corners of his eyes. He looked at Gu Xiaobei's eyes with loss and understanding hidden deep in his eyes, like two bright lonely stars hanging in the distant sky. "Xiaobei, why didn't you tell me earlier that you remembered what happened in the past, why didn't you come to me after you recovered your memory?" His voice was low and hoarse.

"Brother Zijun..." She wanted to tell him that she had been looking for him. After she tried her best to break free from Li Haonan's constraints, the first thing she did was to find him, but she saw him living with her sister.

"Xiaobei, you finally remembered me and finally got rid of Li Haonan. You can go back to me this time!" He Zijun may have been poisoned by carbon monoxide and his head became dull. He had forgotten Gu Qingbei's existence at this time, and just looked at Gu Xiaobei fragile and expectantly.

"Impossible." Gu Xiaobei blurted out, then looked at He Zijun's surprised face and smiled apologetically. His handsome face was still so familiar. The expression in his eyes was exactly the same as before. Gu Xiaobei was full of coldness, bit his lip and said, "Brother Zijun, we really can't go back!"

Five years is not long, but the things that happened in the middle have blocked the childhood sweethearts' love. When she just snuggled in He Zijun's arms, she felt in a daze that those cruel things seemed to have never happened. They were still the pair of golden boys and jade girls that everyone envied. They were still standing under the big locust tree in the town holding hands, saying that they would never be separated for the rest of their lives.

The most precious and beautiful things in my memory have now become white locust flowers that will wither in late spring, and even the lingering fragrance is far away and never found.

"Xiaobei, are you blaming me, are you blaming me?" He Zijun's tone was lonely. Gu Xiaobei in front of him made him feel strange. She was no longer the little girl who nodded whatever he said. She was no longer the little lover who was silly and foolish in his arms. He looked at her in a daze and murmured: "You blame me for leaving you, you blame me for marrying your sister, so you started to lie to me. Even if you met me on the street, you lied to me and said you were okay! But you had already divorced Li Haonan at that time, and you suffered so much..."

Gu Xiaobei looked at He Zijun. After the relationship calmed down, reason returned to her mind again. She felt that it was necessary for her to make some things clear now. She could not take advantage of He Zijun's guilt towards her, nor could she push all the sufferings she suffered to his head. It was unfair. She lowered her head and plucked up her courage. She said slowly and firmly: "Brother Zijun, it doesn't matter to you if I don't go to find you, it doesn't matter to sister. I'm very happy to know that you are married. After all, in this world, you are the people I value the most. You can live together, take care of each other, and each other... I am very satisfied with this. As for us, we have been separated for too long. I am with you, and I can no longer find the sweet feeling of love in the past. I...I can't love you as much as before!"

Her words made He Zijun stunned, as if she couldn't understand what she meant for a while, and she seemed to have known that she would say this for a long time. Gu Qingbei's words kept spinning in his ears, "She loves Li Haonan now, and she loves Li Haonan now..." He felt his heart was constantly poked by a needle, turning into a bloody ball. He looked at Gu Xiaobei intently, "Xiaobei, we can start over, I can give you whatever you want. My marriage with your sister has come to an end. No matter whether you come here or not, I will divorce her. I am willing to put aside everything for you and let us leave here..."

"What? Are you going to divorce my sister?" Gu Xiaobei seemed to have reacted and suddenly felt nervous. He Zijun vowed so much to him, but the premise was to divorce his sister first.

"Yes, I want to divorce Gu Qingbei. Even if you don't come back, we will divorce."

"No, Brother Zijun, don't divorce my sister!"

Gu Xiaobei's eyes were filled with guilt and rejection, which made He Zijun's heart fall heavily. At this moment, he realized that this little girl was so cruel. He just looked at Gu Xiaobei like this, and his whole body exuded a bitter cold and endless disappointment.
