Jiang Jiayi didn't ask Gu Linxi what kind of dream she had. As long as she was willing to speak, he was willing to listen. She quietly waited for Gu Linxi to continue speaking. After waiting for a while, Gu Linxi's nervous mood gradually relaxed, so she continued speaking.
”I dreamt of our past lives. In my previous life, I was a princess of a country, and at that time, you were the top scholar for a new course …” Gu Linxi's voice was very low, and the small movements of her fingers had also become even faster because she was recounting this story. When Gu Linxi mentioned the two of them getting married, the smile on her face suddenly disappeared.
Everything, happiness and misfortune, was separated by the day of their marriage. The contrast between happiness before marriage and misfortune after marriage was the most striking. Gu Linxi's voice rose in volume, but she couldn't say anything else and stopped. She felt that Princess Xi's emotions were infecting her, causing her to be choked with sobs and be unable to continue speaking.
Jiang Jiayi held Gu Linxi's hand. He tried to give Gu Linxi some strength, but he discovered that her hand was even colder than his own. Staring at Gu Linxi in astonishment, Gu Linxi's two eyes turned slightly red, watery and a bit stiff, as if she had been stunned by a nightmare.
”If you don't want to say it, then don't say it.” Jiang Jiayi didn't know what kind of dream Gu Linxi had in the end, but if that dream had only made Gu Linxi feel terrible, then he might as well forget about it. Not to mention that he didn't like the things that Gu Linxi had said at all. He really wanted to tell Gu Linxi that he wasn't that short-lived Jiang Jiayi, and he was also jealous of Jiang Jiayi.
Because of this jealousy, Jiang Jiayi had neglected his own heart.
Indeed, he didn't feel like speaking any further. Gu Linxi returned Jiang Jiayi's handshake. One of the three joyous events in life, the wedding night, left Princess Xi only a nightmare, a nightmare, until the day she died still did not wake up.
With her nerves in a state of disarray, Gu Linxi pulled out her hand and rubbed her head. She seemed to see two Jiang Jiayi, one gently calling her name and the other saying, 'You owe me this'.
She didn't owe anyone! Tears streamed down Gu Linxi's face. She wanted to tell the man that she didn't owe him. He had always owed her. She, Gu Linxi, had never owed Jiang Jiayi!
”Come here, Xi Xi.”
It was unknown who whispered her name, but Gu Lin Xi held Jiang Jiayi tightly.
”Just listen.” Gu Linxi no longer looked at Jiang Jiayi, and closed her eyes as she narrated the entire story. When she spoke of that bowl of medicine, Gu Yingxi's body trembled lightly.
She wanted to tell this story to Jiang Jiayi. She wanted to know what Jiang Jiayi thought. When she finally reached the point of jumping into the river to commit suicide, Gu Linxi felt somewhat lost. This sort of feeling as if she had lost something, unceasingly swirling within her heart.
”Ling Xi, this is all just a dream, and not real.” Jiang Jiayi didn't know how to comfort Gu Linxi, but this was just a dream.
Gu Linxi smiled. A flame of determination suddenly burst forth from within her despairing and sorrowful eyes. She pushed Jiang Jiayi away by half a step, yet she still held onto Jiang Jiayi's shirt in front of his chest. She was staring at Jiang Jiayi with a serious expression, just like that Princess Xi.
”If it were you, would you do this?”
”Will you kill your child with your own hands?”
”Will you … abandon me?”
