Chapter 511 - Accompanying You For The Last Time (2/2)

“Maybe ten days, maybe half a month, but at the speed I’m aging now, it might be a week too.” Gu Sheng lifted his hand, wiping Nan Zhi’s tears away, “Don’t cry for me. It’s not worth it.”

Nan Zhi held her hands into tight fists, punching them against his thin chest. “Gu Sheng, you poisoned me but saved me with your own life as well. Why did you do this?”

Originally, the two of them could have lived their lives without fear.

They could have remained really close friends. Friends who were as close as family.

How did it end up like this, that only one of them could live while the other had to die?

Why?

Nan Zhi wiped her tears away, looking at him with red eyes. “Where are you planning to go?”

“Little Flower…”

Nan Zhi cut his words, sniffling, “Although I hated you and blamed you for everything before, I can’t let you be alone when you’re about to die.”

“I’ll accompany you no matter where you’re going.”

…

They returned to the house that Nan Zhi saw first thing after she had been kidnapped when she was thirteen years old. It felt like an eternity had pa.s.sed.

Unconsciously, it had already been nearly nine years!

Gu Sheng had probably returned for a short stay at the house everyday, so the house was still rather clean and tidy.

This place was far away from the noisy city, and only had a small town nearby. Nan Zhi and Gu Sheng went there to buy their daily items.

This time, it was Nan Zhi’s turn to take care of Gu Sheng.

She still blamed him for everything, because if he did not become too extreme in that instant, how would things become like how they were now?

However, as she watched him age day by day, and his body getting frailer day by day, whatever unhappiness she had for him all became heart ache for him instead.

“Little Flower, let me bring you somewhere later.”

Nan Zhi nodded.

He brought her up the mountain behind the house. He was holding onto a walking stick, not letting her help him.

Although he looked nice and warm, he was actually a stubborn person.

He had his own sense of arrogance and dignity.

When they reached the top of the mountain, Nan Zhi widened her eyes in surprise.

He had already developed the area a little, having planted a large patch of flowers in all sorts of colors. The sight was gorgeous.

Nan Zhi suddenly remembered that she told him her wish when she was chatting with him after he woke up from having been kidnapped that year. She told him that she wished to become a flower fairy and plant a large patch of flowers behind her house so that she could lie amongst the flowers as she read, looked at the stars, sang and danced.

..

She had said it casually back then, since she was still an innocent and naive young princess of her family with all of her fantasies.

She never thought that Gu Sheng would remember those words and help her fulfill them…

It was obvious that the flowers were not planted in a short period of time.

“I wanted to bring you here on your birthday after you returned to the country. In the end, I was still one step too late.”

The two of them sat by the flowers, chatting as they smelled the faint fragrance of the flowers.

“Little Flower, what do you plan to do in the future?”

Nan Zhi thought that she was going to die originally, so she had placed her faith in Mu Sihan taking care of Xiaojie after he had recovered from his illness. She also did not worry about her mother as her mother’s psychological condition had also turned for the better in the recent few years, while Xiaojie would also take care of her after he grew up. In the end, the one facing death was not her, but Gu Sheng!

Now that she had recovered, she was fairly lost about her life in the future as well.

Mu Sihan had returned to the Ye family. He was born in a royal family, and his status signified that he was not someone a commoner like her could touched. Besides, his father had arranged for him to marry that Shangguan Wan, and he did not reject it either.

Gu Sheng turned to look at Nan Zhi. Her skin had regained its fairness and smoothness. She looked absolutely stunning, overlapping with the extremely beautiful Little Flower in his memories.

That’s great.

This was how things were meant to be.

“Little Flower, I’m a little tired. Can you lend me your shoulder so I can lean on it?”

Nan Zhi did not say anything, as Gu Sheng leaned his head on Nan Zhi’s thin shoulders. He slowly closed his eyes as he stared at the flower patch in front of them.

His thoughts seemed to jump back to a few years ago.
