It was the first time she saw Gu Zhen's face so clearly, and she could clearly see his thick and long eyelashes, which were slightly curled, his tall and straight nose, and his lips that had lost their color but were still beautiful. He had a pair of dark eyes, like a river in late autumn, misty and cold.

"Su Lingzhi, you didn't point a gun at my head and force me to go on the field. How have you done anything wrong to me?" Gu Zhen's slightly lowered eyes were filled with a hint of coldness, as if exploring, but also as if coaxing.

"You stopped me and didn't want me to win. You didn't want me to have anything to do with the Shadow Society. I don't understand. But I should have believed you and that you wouldn't hurt me. But I took an unconventional approach and knocked you away. I shouldn't have done that. You have returned to me. I should believe in you. Even if I lose, you can still save Lanlan." Su Lingzhi regretted bumping into Gu Zhen. This emotion was suppressed in his heart and reached its peak when he woke up.

Su Lingzhi found it unbelievable. In her heart, killing Gu Zhen was her first goal. Between Zhao Xuelan and Gu Zhen, she chose Zhao Xuelan, but did not have the heart to kill Gu Zhen.

Why didn’t she kill Gu Zhen?

That was clearly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If she killed Gu Zhen, she could go home, and this short drama world would no longer bind her. But at that moment, she had no distracting thoughts in her heart.

When she ran towards Gu Zhen, she had only one thought: she wanted to hug him.

"Okay, I accept your apology." Gu Zhen said softly, "I forgive you."

Su Ling was filled with grief. It was a fate that they would never stop fighting. Gu Zhen sighed, "I've forgiven you, why are you crying like this?"

"I cried for joy that you woke up." Su Lingzhi concealed her emotions. She didn't have the energy to think about whether to kill Gu Zhen or not. She simply hid like an ostrich.

"Has the Shadow Society given you any trouble?"

Su Lingzhi shook her head and told the whole story. Gu Zhen laughed at her naivety. Luo Sheng was a nobody in the Black Dragon Hall. Wen Han didn't even care about the entire Black Dragon Hall. How could he capture Zhao Xuelan for a nobody and threaten Su Lingzhi to go on the court? This killing move was either aimed at Su Lingzhi or at him.

"Will I really join the Shadow Society?" Su Lingzhi was nervous. She didn't even know what the Shadow Society was and had no interest in it.

"Don't worry, Shadow can't take you away." Gu Zhen sneered, "He doesn't have the ability to take my people away from Jiangcheng."

Although Gu Zhen woke up, he was not in good spirits. He fell asleep again after the infusion. Su Lingzhi was in the hospital. Jiang Zongnian and Jian Yuxing did not come. Jiang Zongnian blocked the news. The Gu Group was still spreading the news that Gu Zhen was dead. Gu Jialiang was in high spirits, but Su Lingzhi turned a blind eye.

What she cared more about was Gu Zhen's attitude. Even Jian Yuxing asked her why she knew how to race, but Gu Zhen didn't say a word, as if it was a very common thing for her to race.

She had doubts in her heart, so when Gu Zhen woke up in the afternoon, she asked him.

Gu Zhen said calmly, "I don't know anything about it. To me, this is not an important matter."

"Why?" Su Lingzhi was extremely confused. "Actually, I am also confused."

What exactly did the original owner go through?

"Who you are, who you have met, and what you have experienced are not important to me." Gu Zhen's dark eyes were calm yet heavy.

Su Lingzhi understood what he hadn't said yet, he only wanted the person in front of him and the future. Su Lingzhi was happy in his heart, because from the moment he met Gu Zhen, she was the one.

Lanlan loves her and protects her because they are childhood friends and have a sisterly bond since childhood. Qin Shen may love her because of her and his romantic first love in Maple Leaf International.

Those were the original owners, not her.

Su Lingzhi was filled with mixed feelings of sadness and joy. She hugged Gu Zhen and couldn't help but kiss him on the forehead. "Okay, let's just look at the present and the future. The past is not important, and I have forgotten it."

Gu Zhen's heart moved and he wanted to hug her, but he was frustrated to find that half of his body was numb and he couldn't move. However, Su Lingzhi seemed to understand his restlessness, so she moved closer to him and hugged his neck.

She was afraid of pressing on his wound, so she leaned very lightly, and couldn't help but think of the scene on the track, "Gu Zhen, Jian Yuxing said that your gunshot wound has not healed yet, and you dragged your broken body to race, but have you ever thought about... what if you die on the track?"

"That's my fate."

"You don't seem like someone who believes in fate."

"You must listen to me. I'm in love and can't bear to see you being besieged?" Gu Zhen's voice was cold and a little self-deprecating.

"But you... don't seem like someone who's in love."

"It depends on the person." Whether you are in love or not depends on who it is.

Su Lingzhi looked up at Gu Zhen's thin and hard figure, as if complaining or acting like a spoiled child, "I've been pursuing you for so long, but I still don't have a legitimate relationship with you. If anyone dares to say that you are love-brained, I will be the first to disagree."

Gu Zhen lowered his eyes and looked at her, his gaze was unfathomable, a depth that Su Lingzhi could not understand.

"You want status?"

Su Lingzhi felt astringent in his throat and a little sour in his heart. He backed off for some reason. "Maybe I'm not sincere in pursuing you. Wait for me... I'll try harder."

How could her ambiguous acting skills match Gu Zhen's sincerity in fighting to the death?

When she didn't love Gu Zhen, she showered him with sweet words and even said such corny words as "I love you for ten thousand years" and never felt burdened. But now, she feels heavy in her heart when she even says she likes him.

She took care of Gu Zhen in every possible way. After the painkiller injection wore off, Gu Zhen felt very uncomfortable. He could bear it, but his pale face and the bulging veins on his forehead exposed his pain. Su Lingzhi felt so distressed that she wiped his cold sweat with a hot towel and asked the doctor if she could give him another painkiller injection.

Gu Zhen hooked her hand, interlocking their fingers, "Just bear with it and it will pass."

The most painful thing was the first day after the operation, but he just had to endure it. He was in a bad mood and couldn't sleep because of the pain. Su Lingzhi played some soothing piano music, but it didn't work. She held his hand and had no other choice but to read him a storybook to distract him. Gu Zhen looked at Su Lingzhi reading fairy tales beside his bed with a smile on his face. He finally tasted a little bit of sincerity from her clumsy worries.

Su Lingzhi's voice is clear and can change intonation. He can switch between male and female voices at will, and he reads with emotion. Gu Zhen really feels comfortable.

"Come and lie down." Gu Zhen's coaxing was accompanied by an order. No matter how gentle his tone was, it was firm and unquestionable.

There was a dark circle under her eyes. It seemed that she was not at ease sleeping with him last night. She was only concerned about his pain and ignored herself. Gu Zhen observed Su Lingzhi for a long time and discovered one thing.

The person she cares about is truly sincere and will go through fire and water for him/her.

But she couldn't learn to love herself.

She always ignores a lot of things about herself.

"Are you still hurting?"

"If you keep holding on like this, I'll be in pain again." Gu Zhen's tone was already somewhat unhappy. It was bad enough that she couldn't learn to love herself, but she was also stubborn and obstinate.

Su Lingzhi took off her shoes and socks and lay down beside him. She was afraid of pressing on Gu Zhen's injury, so she didn't dare to get too close. She continued to read the fairy tale book with perseverance. However, as she read, she became very sleepy and the heavy fairy tale book fell to the side. Gu Zhen took the fairy tale book away.

Gu Zhen looked deeply at Su Lingzhi's profile, his dark eyes filled with tenderness and distress.
