For him, it was only a few days since he parted with Shen Qingruo, but he already knew that for Shen Qingruo and many other people, he had been away for ten years.
Gu Liufeng opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but found that his throat was too hoarse and he couldn't make a sound.
Ten years is a very long time for the warriors of Miluo.
What has Shen Qingruo been through in the past ten years? Does she still remember him? Does she still love him? For ten whole years, he has not been able to accompany Shen Qingruo. Will she still accept him
Shen Qingruo stared at him blankly, but couldn't hear him speak. She couldn't help but sob again, "Am I still dreaming? I can see you every time in my dreams, and see that you are alive and well, but when I want to reach out and hug you, you disappear like mist."
"Every time I wake up from a dream, I cry all night. I will never forget the moment I found your mask outside Yanjing City and the moment they told me you were dead. I felt so hopeless that the world was about to collapse."
With trembling hands, she took out several pieces of mask fragments from the storage ring.
These fragments were still stained with blood, and had become extremely old after ten years. However, Shen Qingruo had always preserved them carefully, and was even reluctant to wipe off the blood stains.
"Gu Liufeng, how could you do that?! You clearly promised me that you would be with me forever, but you just left like that, without even giving me a chance to say goodbye or to think about you. I don't even have your clothes, and I can't even build a tomb for you."
"Brother Liufeng, I don't care that you sacrificed your life to save Sister Xiyue, but why did you leave me alone? You are leaving, can you take me with you? I don't want to be left alone. I don't want to see you every time I close my eyes, but every time I open my eyes, I can't hug you..."
Gu Liufeng couldn't hold back the tears that welled up in his eyes. He suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged the girl's trembling body in his arms.
When he first met Shen Qingruo, she was such a free and easy, cheerful and simple girl.
However, at this moment, she was filled with deep sadness, and all of this was brought upon her by herself.
He never regretted dying for Xiyue, the one he swore allegiance to, the one who gave him new life and hope.
However, he was destined to be sorry for this girl named Shen Qingruo in this life.
Gu Liufeng hugged Shen Qingruo tightly, holding her in his arms so tightly that Shen Qingruo's bones ached slightly.
But she didn't feel uncomfortable at all, she just realized that this was not a dream, this was real, Gu Liufeng was really still alive.
A hoarse voice rang in her ears, like a curse or a promise for a lifetime, "Ruo'er, I'm sorry, I was wrong. Are you willing to forgive me?"
"I will never abandon you in the future. I swear that I will take care of you and protect you for the rest of my life. Are you still willing to give me this chance?"
After a long silence, Shen Qingruo reached out and hugged Gu Liufeng back, bursting into tears again.
But this time, her crying was no longer suppressed, no longer sad, and no longer lonely and desperate. Instead, it was filled with the joy and pride of venting the grievances of the past ten years.
Qingluan, who was standing by, looked at the two people hugging each other, and her eyes also turned red. She said to Xi Yue: "Miss, this is great. Young Master Gu can survive and reunite with Miss Shen. Everything seems to have returned to the past." (To be continued)
