He hugged Qiao Xiguan tightly.
He really didn't know what he had done to deserve this woman, who gave so much for him.
He didn't know what he had done in the past to make this woman so unwaveringly committed, but from the feedback of those around him, it was always him who let her down, while she kept persisting...
If it weren't for her persistence, the two of them should have long gone their separate ways by now.
"Qiao Xiguan, thank you." So many words, ultimately, could only be summed up in this one sentence; as for the rest, he couldn't put it into words.
Qiao Xiguan buried her head heavily against Gu Zichen's chest, listening to the strong beating of his heart.
No one knows when such a strong heartbeat might cease.
No one knows when this warm embrace might vanish.
She felt that she hadn't done anything heinous or immoral, yet the heavens kept giving her so much, experiences that ordinary people wouldn't encounter in a lifetime...
She leaned quietly against him.
