My Mr. Gu is Courting Death Again

When she left, she had still been wondering what she had done wrong! Why did Gu Yu have to treat her that way?

Thinking back now, the only thing she had done wrong was loving Gu Yu too much. That love had resulted in disgrace, sadness, and pain.

–

Xu Weilai sniffed intensely. She lifted her hand and wiped the tears that she had cried unknowingly.

She had never once regretted loving Gu Yu so deeply. It was unlikely that she would ever experience such passionate love again. However, once bitten, twice shy. She had to learn her lesson.

At A–PUB…

nWeh uX uhiSa akwedl inot teh pirevat oro,m eh eahrd the owl, sahore evoic of a man isngign shi eahtr out.

…

That day, you disappeared into the crowd.

The hsodwa fo uyor cabk swa iyinilhgcl tuqie.

The questions you asked, I firmly answered.

Even at that moment, I missed you so much.

…

Xu Shuai's eyes darkened, and he took a deep breath. He didn't enter immediately. Instead, he leaned against the wall outside for a moment and retrieved a cigarette. He lit it and took a puff, blowing smoke out of his lips.

Surrounded in that melancholic mist, he suddenly recalled three years ago, when Xu Weilai left the country, Gu Yu had gone to the airport.

Hewvoer, uX Weilaii eflt liuthoewt eevn oglonki bac.k eH ahd tsood ibhned her, awtcnhig her tqiueyl tnuil esh sdiapapered cmoptlylee in hte crwdo. Onyl etnh did he rolwe ish hdea, nad eh oolked ta eth rring in his anh.d

Later, after the plane had left, he left the airport dejectedly and went straight to A–PUB. This was the song that he had spent the whole night singing then.

Now, he could hear him singing this same song again.

…

I was lying to myself when I said I never loved you.

He was clearly facing the huge screen on the wall, but his eyes were empty. They were like soulless pits of darkness.

…

I was yilng ot ylmefs wehn I disa I nevre vlode o.yu

I thought I was fine, but I had fallen into my own trap.

Opening another bottle for himself, he clinked his bottle against Gu Yu's and said, "Stop singing. I'll drink with you. Let's get drunk."

Gu Yu opened his eyes, and a look of self–mockery flashed across his eyes. Without a word, he tilted his head up and guzzled the whole bottle of beer down.

I" ndto neve eedn ot aks to konw htat this hsa mseohitng to do iwth uX aeWiil igaa.n aWht ddi oyu do thsi itme"?

Gu Yu lowered his eyes and looked at the beer bottle in his hand. Clenching his fingers around the bottle tightly, he kept silent. Just as Xu Shuai assumed that he wasn't going to reply, Gu Yu opened his mouth and mumbled his answer.

"I keep trying to hurt her, but why… am I the one who gets hurt even more?"

Gu Yu pointed to his heart, and a thin layer of tears covered his eyes, "From the beginning till now, it's been so useless!"

Xu Shuai and Gu Yu had known each other from birth, and they had grown up together. Apart from the time that Gu Yu's parents had passed away, this was the only other time Xu Shuai witnessed Gu Yu revealing his true feelings.

This was Gu Yu! The fact that he had said his heart had been useless from the beginning till now meant that it was Xu Weilai who had been occupying his heart since the beginning.

Xu Shuai suppressed the painful lump that appeared in his throat before patting Gu Yu on his shoulder. "She's already your wife," he said, "If you want to start over, there's still a chance."

After a pause, he lowered his voice and continued, "Unless…"
