"Then shouldn't I all the more marry him? Having someone devoted to pursuing me, what reason do I have not to marry?"
"Why won't you listen? This injury Shangguan Yu sustained during the drill was orchestrated by him, just so you would return to the country and continue..."
"Then I should be even more thankful to him." Gu Yao interrupted Gu Li directly.
"If I hadn't come back this time, I might never have known that Shangguan Yu is such a person. Perhaps after one, three, even five or ten years, I'd still be wasting time on him like a fool."
In truth, Gu Yao regretted it deeply, regretting coming back.
She would rather never come to terms with who Shangguan Yu really is, rather be tormented by longing every day, rather imprison herself in this feeling for a lifetime without ever managing to escape.
What's five or ten years? At least every time she thought of him, her heart would still be sweet, and his goodness in her heart would never be tarnished.
