Chapter 2188: Master Zhi’s Stubbornness: Not Angry, Not Crying

Gu Zhiqi lowered her eyes slightly, refusing to look at him, murmuring with a sarcastic tone, "Even if a coward would hand San Ye over to Angel to save their own life, San Ye would still selflessly sacrifice himself without complaint, truly noble. I’m afraid my selfish eyes might taint San... umph."

Before Gu Zhiqi could finish her words, Su Yunling covered her mouth.

With her mouth covered, Gu Zhiqi finally looked up with obvious discontent in her eyes, staring at Su Yunling.

Meeting Gu Zhiqi’s gaze, Su Yunling’s eyes were gentle, "I was wrong."

Gu Zhiqi reached out, pulling Su Yunling’s hand away, looking at him displeased, "San Ye’s selflessness should be praised, how could that be wrong."

Hearing her tone, Su Yunling could tell she was still angry, feeling helpless, he sincerely admitted, "I was really wrong."

Gu Zhiqi listened, paused for a moment, then looked up at him, "Will you change after being wrong?"

Seeing that she finally stopped being sarcastic, Su Yunling immediately nodded, "I will definitely change."

Gu Zhiqi listened, but didn’t believe it. She leaned in Su Yunling’s direction and heavily collapsed into his embrace, tightly wrapping her arms around his waist.

"Liar, always lying to me."

Su Yunling reached out to embrace Gu Zhiqi in return. Hearing the choking in her voice, his body tensed up, then hurriedly patted her back and gently cooed, "I really know I was wrong. I promise, I won’t venture into enemy territory again, okay?"

Gu Zhiqi mumbled into Su Yunling’s chest, "Your words are not trustworthy at all, you used to deceive me like this too."

Listening to Gu Zhiqi’s choked voice, Su Yunling felt a pang in his heart and didn’t think too deeply about the meaning behind her words, continuing to soothe her, "I was wrong, I won’t lie to you anymore, don’t cry, okay?"

Gu Zhiqi: "I’m not crying."

Su Yunling: "..."

Su Yunling paused for a moment, slightly amused, "Alright, you’re not crying, it’s me who’s crying."

Hearing the laughter in Su Yunling’s voice, Gu Zhiqi felt a surge of frustration and simply stopped speaking, continuing to bury her head in his embrace.

Whenever Gu Zhiqi spoke, Su Yunling would become flustered, not knowing how to comfort her. Now, her silence made him even more anxious.

He didn’t know how to console her better, so he softly asked, "You’re upset. In the future, whatever you say to do, I’ll do it, okay?"

Gu Zhiqi: "I already said, I’m not upset."

Su Yunling: "..."

This mouth is really stubborn.

Before Su Yunling could speak, Gu Zhiqi spoke up, "You shouldn’t do that again in the future."

"I don’t know how many times I can save you."

Nor do I know how many times I can bring you back to life.

Su Yunling: "Okay."

Saying that, Su Yunling slightly lowered his head, gently lifted her out from his embrace, and then saw her slightly reddened eyes.

Even like this, she still said she wasn’t crying.

Su Yunling felt a piercing ache in his heart, as if being pricked by countless needles, and even his throat felt a bit sore.

With his thumb, he gently wiped Gu Zhiqi’s face, softly saying, "I’m sorry."

Gu Zhiqi listened, slightly raised her head and stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly dropped her gaze, softly saying, "I truly am not angry with you, nor do I blame you."

She was just a little scared.

Afraid of a repeat of the past.

Afraid it’ll be like over a hundred years ago again, when she retreated into seclusion, and upon emerging, he was no longer there. In the end, she found only a trace of his remnant soul.

Su Yunling slightly lowered his eyes, looking at Gu Zhiqi, and sincerely said, "Making you cry was my fault."

Gu Zhiqi: "..."
