"So, no matter why I left you all, carrying such a fate, there is no way to retain you, is that right?" Ye Wu asked him, her voice choking up a bit, as she softly inquired.
Gu Zichen nodded.
"It really hurts. Do you know that, Gu Zichen? It really hurts," Ye Wu said, tears continuously streaming down, "I thought, at least initially I thought, I was making sacrifices for the country, doing something so great. I believed that when the truth came one day, I would get your pity and empathy. If I hadn't died, if you were still alive, we could have realized our initial wishes, finding a place surrounded by a sea of flowers, just the two of us living peacefully for the rest of our lives. I never imagined you would cut ties with me so completely."
"I'm sorry," Gu Zichen apologized.
