Chapter 219 I will!
Chapter 219 I will!
His black eyes were like a deep spring, and the love in them almost drowned people. "I am loyal to my country, my people, and my party, and I will be loyal to you in the future..."
His tone was solemn, like a heavy hammer hitting Shen Ning's heart, making her tremble.
It is undeniable that Shen Ning was moved at this moment.
She was so flustered that she didn't know where to put her hands, let alone look into those burning and affectionate eyes. Shen Ning turned her head away abruptly.
"No, you don't know me. I... I have never been a good person. I am timid, greedy, petty, and I bear grudges.
And I…I used to…”
All the memories of her past life flashed through her mind. Those unbearable past events bound her tightly like vines. Shen Ning suddenly felt a little suffocated and embarrassed, and a deep bitterness rose in her heart...
The more honest Gu Changgeng was, the more despicable Shen Ning felt that he and she were destined not to be on the same path together.
Shen Ning's face gradually turned colder, his fists clenched tightly, his fingertips pinching the tender palms...
Neither of them spoke again for a while.
Just when Shen Ning thought Gu Changgeng was going to give up and leave, Gu Changgeng gently held her fist, pried open her fingers little by little, and looked at the red marks on her palms, feeling nothing but heartache.
"I know......"
"No! You don't! You know nothing!"
Shen Ning's emotions suddenly collapsed. The past that he could not tell anyone was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.
She couldn't even control her emotions. At this moment, she just wanted to escape from this room and disappear from Gu Changgeng's sight...
Shen Ning roared like a little animal defending its territory, "Go away! I don't like you! And I don't need your love! Go away! Go away!"
Gu Changgeng spoke in a low and hoarse voice with a serious expression. He suddenly knelt on one knee, took out a velvet box from his arms, and held it in front of Shen Ning.
"No matter what happened in the past, I only regret that I met you too late and failed to protect you, causing you to encounter those bad things...
But Shen Ning, this is not your fault.
I know it's hard for you to trust someone wholeheartedly, and even harder to accept an intimate relationship. I understand all of that.
But please give me a chance, give me a chance to protect you and take care of you openly."
Shen Ning looked down at the glittering ladies' watch inlaid with a circle of diamonds. It was obvious that the watch had been... sold.
"How...how come this watch is in your possession?"
Gu Changgeng had already pulled her wrist and put the watch back on Shen Ning's hand, "You see, after all these twists and turns, it will eventually return to your hands.
Just like this watch, just like me.
Whether you like me or not, as long as you look back, I will always be here.
Shen Ning, I like you, no matter what happened to you or what you did in the past, I still like you......"
This is indeed a touching love story.
Shen Ning wondered if the ending would have been different if she had met him earlier in her previous life.
But there is no if...
Gu Changgeng saw that Shen Ning had not spoken for a long time and could not figure out what she was thinking for a moment. He just thought that she still needed time to accept it, so he touched the top of Shen Ning's head.
"You don't have to feel any psychological pressure. You are still young and have your own plans. I know you want to go to college in Beijing, so just focus on preparing for the exam and don't worry too much.
I just want you to know that you are not alone, I will always stand behind you, as long as you need me, I will always be there..."
Shen Ning suddenly laughed at himself, "Forever? Stand by my side?"
Gu Changgeng looked at her and said, "Of course."
Shen Ning suddenly raised her head and looked at Gu Changgeng steadily. She was petite to begin with, and she looked even more obedient when she looked up at people like this. However, the words she said were chilling.
"What if I tell you that I'm going to Beijing to attend university just to deal with the Wang family?
I just want to fight them to the death, even if I have to use any means to destroy their families?
Will you stand by me, too? Support me and stay with me?"
Gu Changgeng was stunned and looked down at Shen Ning. Her dark eyes were filled with overwhelming hatred.
The setting sun outside the window shone on her. It was clearly a gentle warm orange color, but she exuded a chill and an air that kept people at a distance.
Seeing that Gu Changgeng hadn't spoken for a long time, Shen Ning sneered, "You see, you simply can't accept the real me.
But I am just like this, despicable, scheming, and unscrupulous..."
But before Shen Ning could finish her words, Gu Changgeng had already embraced her in his arms. His body temperature was very high, like a warm stove.
His chest was broad and gave her a sense of security. Shen Ning rested her cheek against his chest, feeling the endless warmth coming from him...
"Thump, thump" is his heartbeat.
She heard Gu Changgeng's hoarse voice ringing in her ears, "I will always stand by your side, support you and accompany you forever..."
......
When Shen Yue came back with the lunch box, Shen Ning was standing in front of the window. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on her, as if she was covered with a layer of golden gauze.
Shen Yue opened the small table on the bed, put the lunch box on it, and arranged the chopsticks. Then he said, "Sister, come and eat."
Shen Ning then came to his senses and reached out his hand, wanting to touch Shen Yueer's head as usual.
In the past, Shen Yue would always come closer and enjoy it. She liked this kind of intimate interaction. But today, she retracted her neck contrary to her usual behavior and subconsciously stood further away...
Meeting the gazes of Shen Ning and her gang, she just smiled foolishly, "Sister, come and eat. I bought dumplings stuffed with pork and cabbage."
Shen Ning looked at the steaming lunch box without thinking too much. He took out most of the dumplings from the lunch box and put them in a small bowl. "Come here, let's eat together."
Shen Yue hesitated for a moment, then sat opposite Shen Ning. She wanted to say something but stopped herself. She opened her mouth several times but couldn't say anything. She was not as sticky as before...
But Shen Ning's mind was in a mess at the moment and he didn't notice her abnormality.
The two of them, both with poor appetites, each had their own thoughts, until the heat on the dumplings dissipated, and most of them were left...
Shen Yue then looked up, "Sister, that big brother likes you very much, right..."
