The moonlight shone on the two of them, casting two long shadows on the ground.
One shadow in the front and one behind.

Do you hate him?
Gu Juexi asked suddenly, breaking the silence.
Ye Yuwei was startled but answered,
Yes.

She didn’t need Gu Juexi to mention the name as she knew exactly who he was talking about.


Ye Yuwei took a few steps forward and sat on the stone by the river.
In the beginning, I hated him because he put you and your comrades in jeopardy. Back then, I felt that I couldn’t redeem myself even if I gave up my life for it.

Gu Juexi looked at Ye Yuwei who was sitting on the stone.

So, you decided to kill yourself,
said Gu Juexi distantly.
Ye Yuwei cupped her chin in her hands and chuckled.
Back then, Bai Yuyan told me that it was my father who took advantage of you and your team to defeat Cheng Jie and it resulted in your team’s wipeout. Do you know what was in my mind then, when I heard the news?

As she was talking, she lifted her head to look at Gu Juexi. Her eyes were bright with a hint of amusement.

I was thinking that they were so malicious. Surely they had never apologized for what they did, nor did they even have a sense of guilt. And I was certain that Bai Yuyan was, as a matter of fact, their daughter.
As she reminisced, she realized how ridiculous she sounded.

Later, they donned a marvelous honor on my abandonment; they called it ‘motherly love’,
Ye Yuwei said and let out a sudden laugh,
I couldn’t blame them, I owed that to you.

Gu Juexi remained standing. He looked at Ye Yuwei who was looking down and fiddling with the stones.

What about now? It has been proven that your father had nothing to do with that incident, and your mother had distanced herself from all that. For you, all that is left from them is paternal love. You don’t owe me anything now.

Ye Yuwei threw the stone into the river. She hugged her knees while looking at the ripples in the water, as though the same rippling effect was in her heart.



It is so ironically funny. Just when I thought the hatred, hostility, and resentment between us was finally over, there he was, resurfaced out of nowhere.
Ye Yuwei rested her cheek on her arm and watched the ripples slowly subsiding.
I am starting to fear that he is a part of the other knot that is in your heart.

Gu Juexi clenched his fist tightly as he listened to Ye Yuwei.
Ye Yuwei stood up slowly. She turned around and stood in front of Gu Juexi. She reached out and caressed his delicate and handsome face.

Gu Juexi, I am so scared. I fear that at the end of the day, you will still hate me.

Gu Juexi held up his hand to envelope Ye Yuwei’s.
No, I won’t.

He said so firmly, it made Ye Yuwei laugh.
She retracted her hand and wiped the tears in her eyes.
I’m just kidding. How can there be so many coincidences? Master asked you to go and eat, she said that your current condition is really bad.

Gu Juexi was astonished by the smile on Ye Yuwei’s face. He quietly cursed himself in his mind, how could he let himself get confused when things hadn’t even been clarified yet.
As for what Lu Qichuan found out, he would go to his mother to look for answers.
It was better to take the easiest way out than to continue stumbling for the truth.


Ye Yuwei tilted her head slightly and looked at Gu Juexi.
Sometimes, obsession can be a dangerous thing. The biggest obsession for Xicheng is that you had once abandoned us. You are the only one that can untie this knot in his heart.

He? Abandoned them?
Gu Juexi looked at her with a wicked smile. His eyes made her feel a little guilty.

Ye Yuwei, do you not have any conscience?
Gu Juexi sneered.
