But she never complained...
Over the years, she had followed by his side, always silently accompanying him; she never acted petulantly nor capriciously around him.
Because she was too sensible, therefore... he had never considered the possibility of losing her one day.
He thought... she would always be there by his side, just like that.
So, he never did anything to try to keep her.
But it wasn't until... the moment she left that he suddenly realized, she wouldn't stay by his side forever.
By then it was too late, even if he wanted to forget, it was utterly impossible.
Everything about her... had long since permeated into his heart, into his body... into every pore, every part of him.
He thought of her all the time without a moment's pause!
Thinking, Gu Zhiyan was somewhat moved as he reached out and gently touched Xia You's face.
It had been so long since he had stared at her like this.
Her bare face still looked somewhat pale.
