Chapter 206 (1/2)

Leaving the Sadness to Myself

Lin Meiyue was much more careful compared to Gu Yuan. She treated “Chu Luoxun,” who was not related to her by blood, as her own sister. It so happened that the effort ‘Chu Luoxun’ had put into ‘assisting’ her was even higher than her own biological sister.

This probably was a juvenile novel, where the whole world was assisting the male protagonist and the heroine.

Whether Lin Meiyue and Gu Yuan would be able to be sure of their relationship without “Chu Luoxun,” even the Goddess was not confident about it.

Therefore, Lin Meiyue brought ‘Chu Luoxun’ some comforting goods; they were all her favorite sweets, cakes, chocolate, etc. Then, ‘Chu Luoxun’ smiled even brighter, of course, and hugged Lin Meiyue, saying, it was too bad that she was not a man, otherwise, she would marry her!

That’s right. Lin Meiyue was a very gentle, kind and innocent girl, carrying the most beautiful soul. Unfortunately, she was not good at expressing herself which made her easy to miss.

‘Chu Luoxun’ had even warned Gu Yuan to treat her well. If not, she would keep haunting him, even when she becomes a ghost!

At that moment, she was extremely lively and optimistic. Thus, when Lin Meiyue inquired on her condition, she confidently replied “Well, it is just a general body check-up! I am fine; there is nothing wrong with my body!”

However, Gu Yuan doubted it, for this was already her second ‘check-up’ within a short span of time. He could not restrain himself and ask, “Didn’t you just go for one not long ago?”

His meaning was clear. Why would someone go for a body check-up again, in such a short period of time?

As usual, ‘Chu Luoxun’ remained smiling, and said without any hesitation, “There was nothing unusual before this, so nothing unusual was required. But, there seems to be a problem with my head now, and it looks like I’ll have to stay here for a bit.”

It turns out that she had collapsed on her way to the competition and had bruised her beautiful face and radiant forehead

The injury was nothing more than a graze. It was not the reason why she lay in bed now, but she had used it to cover up the fact that something far more severe ailed her.

“I get tired easily, and I may have overexerted myself a wee bitI will be fine after resting adequately, and you’ll soon see me back in school again!” The energetic voice of ‘Chu Luoxun’ always made people feel that she is indeed vigorous, if you could look past that hollow, pale face.

After hearing that, the innocent Lin Meiyue was happy for her, of course. She wished ‘Chu Luoxun’ a speedy recovery and hoped to continue learning the violin from her.

Nevertheless, Gu Yuan still did not believe her. He felt that her answer had the makings of a pre-prepared speech.

‘Chu Luoxun’ was not as nave as Lin Meiyue. She had a keen mind, and she could see through any smokescreen and superficiality with just one look, just like how she noticed that Gu Yuan and Lin Meiyue liked each other. Then, with her various forms of assistance and match-making efforts, they finally held each other hands and confirmed their relationship as a couple.

The Goddess Chu was a girl who completely understood the ways of the world.

In reality ‘Chu Luoxun’ had the same disease as Gu Yuan’s late mother. Her body would slowly become weak; she would not lose her strength to even lift the violin and, she wouldn’t be able to even walk. She would have to remain in a wheelchair

This was fate. This was karma.

By this, it perfectly fulfilled the stereotypical drama and structure of a juvenile novel, just like the proverb that goes “without coincidences, there can be no stories.” However, would reality ever bear witness to such ridiculous coincidences?

After Gu Yuan and Lin Meiyue left the room, the smile on ‘Chu Luoxun’ face disappeared. Giving her smile to the world and other people while leaving the sadness to herself, was already second nature to her.

Hence, she had written a song named “I Left the Sadness to Myself” according to what she felt—

I think it’s because I wasn’t gentle enough

I can’t share my sadness
