What to do when your first love cries and asks for reconciliation?

Chapter 206: Life and Death, Yin and Yang

She said something that seemed unrelated, but it evoked the pain in the hearts of both of them.

"It must be very cold in New Haven in the winter..."

It must be the same as in the capital, so cold that the fingers cannot curl up, the feet are ice cold, and the heart can no longer boil.

Gu Yu, who is so afraid of the cold, definitely can't stand it.

For seven winters, no matter how expensive the windbreaker was, it couldn't keep me warm. But where did the cold come from?

Licking his extremely dry lips, Su Huai smiled freely, his gentle eyes filled with tenderness and starlight.

"I used to feel really bad, wondering why we didn't try harder, compromise a little, and try harder to be together."

"You and I were both under a lot of academic pressure in our senior year of high school. At that time, I always felt that we could go through college, enter society, and fulfill our respective dreams without leaving or abandoning each other."

“After you left, I didn’t even have a chance to cry.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Yu burst into tears without knowing when, and the bean-sized tears fell one after another on Su Huai's arm.

Su Huai, who rarely cries, gradually had tears in her eyes. Only at this moment could she open her heart.

She let go of the burden that had weighed on her shoulders for many years, even though the man kneeling on one knee in front of her was only the seventeen-year-old Gu Yu who was deeply in love with her.

Wiping away Gu Yu's tears, the dim candlelight shone on Su Huai's face, and his whole body shed the frost and armor that disguised the surface.

Time seemed to be pulled back to that summer, and Su Huai was still the dazzling, cheerful and unrestrained girl.

"Don't cry. I don't blame you, never. I just hate myself for not having the ability to keep you."

There were so many insincere words, so many things that were forced, so much regret and self-blame, but they cannot make up for the lost seven years.

Gu Yuqiang held back tears and shook her head repeatedly: "Although I can't remember the past, I am still me. People's hearts can't change overnight."

Seeing her trying so hard to prove herself, Su Huai's heart ached for no reason.

She simply held Gu Yu's cheeks with both hands and said seriously: "Actually, your choice is correct."

His back stiffened, and confusion flashed in Gu Yu's eyes when he heard that.

She didn't understand why Su Huai said that. Even she herself felt that this choice was wrong, so why did Su Huai think it was right?

Su Huai did not answer immediately, but leaned over and kissed Gu Yu's lips.

They are close to each other and express their feelings to each other.

Even if it takes seven years, as long as the two hearts are connected, there will be a day when they will be close.

After the kiss, the atmosphere eased a little.

In fact, Su Huai's heart is conflicted. She is afraid that Gu Yu will choose to leave again after recovering his memory, but at the same time she hopes to be forever immersed in the vows Gu Yu made to her.

She believed the love that Gu Yu spoke of, but she was still prepared for what to do after Gu Yu recovered his memory.

For Su Huai, she couldn't afford to lose for the second time.

When Gu Yu loved her, he could leave, but now his mind is unpredictable. What if he abandons her again?

So, I have always believed in your love, please don’t let me down.

Even if you are pretending, you have to pretend for the rest of your life, and it’s best if I don’t see any clues.

Of course, it was impossible to say these words out loud, so Su Huai gave a soothing smile.

Then he rubbed the corner of Gu Yu's mouth affectionately with his thumb, and at the same time thought to himself, this face is really something I can never touch enough and never see through.

“You know why I say you made the right choice?”

Gu Yu shook his head honestly, his eyes full of seeking answers, which really made people want to cherish him. Under the dim yellow candlelight, he looked pure and lustful.

"Because when you were eighteen, you were diagnosed with heart disease, and the conditions in the country were limited at that time."

Ignore the shock, disbelief, and fear on Gu Yu's face.

Su Huai continued: "And at that time, I had no ability to help you."

"Didn't you ask me why I became a doctor before?"

"Silly boy, I did this all for you."

For you, I have worked carefully every step of the way to where I am today, becoming a student of a medical master. After five years of operation, I have connections throughout the medical circles around the world.

It wasn't until today that I had the confidence to say, I can take responsibility for you.

Gu Yu was so frightened that he couldn't speak for a moment, and Su Huai had no intention of stopping.

“Time will tell me that your choice is correct.”

"You earned your undergraduate and master's degrees from Cambridge and Columbia Universities in just a few years. You founded HG during your university years, and HG is now one of the top 100 emerging companies in the United States."

"With an annual salary of tens of millions, you at least have the confidence to return to China and fight against the Gu family."

After a pause, her voice suddenly became silent, as if she was telling a story that had already happened, full of desolation.

"If you had stayed in China, I'm afraid you would have become a small tombstone by now, standing in the wind, enduring the bitter cold of winter."

"The Gu family no longer remembers you, and I can only stand in the cemetery and look at you foolishly, missing one autumn after another, and even winter."

"You are no longer the glittering Mr. Gu standing on the top floor of the most prosperous building in New Haven, giving advice."

You can't have your cake and eat it too. It took Su Huai seven years to finally understand this truth.

But she has never been a good person who is willing to consider other people's wishes. Now that everything has settled down, she has the confidence to fight the disease with Gu Yu.

She is no longer the powerless little girl she was seven years ago, who could only watch her beloved travel across the ocean to seek medical treatment.

So, Su Huai forgave Gu Yu from that year.

She would comfort herself by saying that no matter what choices you make in life, there will be regrets.

Because for them at that time, Gu Yu's choice was the best option.

But this time it’s different. She can already be Gu Yu’s strongest backing, so Gu Yu can only choose her.

Su Huai will eliminate any possible variables in the middle and do it at all costs.

After hearing this, Gu Yu was silent for a long time, and finally slowly closed his eyes.

"So, all those pills I take every day are because I have a heart disease?"

Su Huai would divide the medicine for her in advance before going out every day. No wonder... No wonder she had never seen the packaging of those medicines from the beginning.

So that's the reason...

I have a heart disease, and it is a very serious heart disease that cannot be treated in China.

Gu Yu suddenly felt a sense of speechless sadness in his heart, thinking that ordinary people are just like ants in this vast world.

Love, career, family, health always comes before them.

If you are not even a healthy person, how can you talk about having great love?

At a certain moment, Gu Yu finally understood why he would rather give up everything in China and go abroad.

It turned out that it was not because she had changed her heart, but because of fear, inferiority, despair, and weakness when facing death.

After losing his memory, Gu Yu often wondered why he chose to leave the person he loved most at the best age.

She never understood what was it in this world that she couldn't let go of, and what road in this world was so difficult to walk that made them miss all their youth, autumn, and winter?

Is it education? Is it family background? Or is it future prospects?

It turns out that neither is the case. It is life and death, the separation of yin and yang.
