Coldness, darkness, and despair enveloped Junze from all directions.
He didn't understand why things turned out like this.
It seemed that he had expected it, when Gu Yu rejected him again and again.
He is too naive.
Moths fly to the flame, luring people towards the pain of despair with the brightness of hope.
The hot body instantly dropped to freezing point.
The suffocating senses made him wake up instantly.
He was struggling in the water, in pain and despair.
Gu Yu stood on the shore with her hands behind her hands, watching coldly.
Junze finally got out of the water and picked up the rocks on the shore with one hand. His whole body was still soaked in the winter lake water.
He may have been crying, but there was so much water on his face that he couldn't tell whether it was tears, snow, or the cold and biting lake water.
He asked one after another:
"Why?"
"Why?"
"Why do you do this to me?"
Gu Yu knelt down and looked into Junze's eyes, still expressing no sadness or joy.
She said calmly: "Why? Do you really not understand?"
Junze's face turned pale, he shook his head and said, "I don't understand."
Gu Yu sighed slightly and said: "I have rejected you countless times, and I have emphasized to you countless times that I am a man, I like women, and I should have a good wife and concubines in my life, and I should be surrounded by children and grandchildren. Why do you
You think I will be with you, why are you still so stubborn and asking me why?"
Junze shivered in the water and said, "But, before you clearly..."
It was obvious that Gu Yu allowed him to hug him, it was obvious that Gu Yu and he were mutual confidants, it was obvious that Gu Yu had nostalgia in her eyes when she looked at him, and it was obvious that they were so happy getting along with each other.
They obviously trust each other immensely and are willing to entrust their lives to each other.
But he couldn't say any of these words, not a single word.
How can everything in the past be explained simply by "friendship".
But Gu Yu's cold and frosty look made him have to admit that all this was just his own sentimentality.
Gu Yudao: "Don't you think it's ridiculous? The dignified King Xiaoyao made such a gesture to another man. Where has your pride gone?"
Junze opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
Gu Yudao: "My lord, how many times do you have to tell me before you understand that there is absolutely no possibility between you and me."
Junze's body turned from hot to cold, and the lake water covered his neck. He opened his mouth, but couldn't breathe.
From the bottom of his heart, every strand of hair soaked in the lake water ached.
He looked at the dark night, with snowflakes still falling.
Is this hell?
Seeing that he had no reaction, Gu Yu slowly stood up and said the last words:
"Don't be like this, it's quite mean."
She dusted off her wrinkled clothes and left the lake without mercy.
Junze watched Gu Yu's resolutely leaving figure disappear into the snowy mist.
He could see nothing and hear nothing.
Gu Yu left, leaving him only endless sorrow.
Junze lost all strength and let go of the hand on the stone.
The lake water covered his body and he slowly sank into the water.
At this time, he no longer needs breathing, warmth, or Gu Yu.
Even the pain is unnecessary.
He didn't know how long he had been lying in the water, but he heard a distant cry: "King Xiaoyao has fallen into the water! Come and save him!"
Sadly, he had been stepped into the dirt by Gu Yu. When he heard the sound, what he thought of was that no one saw him being pushed into the water by Gu Yu.
Could it be that Gu Yu called someone to rescue him?
Junze's consciousness was dim, and in a daze, he still despised himself.
Gu Yu is right.
He is quite mean.
Gu Yu returned to the Tai Chi Hall step by step, where people were drinking wine, singing and dancing.
Passing by several familiar officials, Gu Yu chatted and laughed with them as if nothing had happened.
Returning to his seat, Ji Miaoxian said: "Where did you go? It turned out like this?"
Gu Yudao: "I didn't do anything like that."
Ji Miaoxian said: "Why are the hems of your clothes so wet?"
Gu Yu looked down and said, "Oh, when I was passing by Goddess Lake, I was accidentally splashed by a fish that jumped out of the water and wet the hem of my clothes. You didn't know, but that fish was quite big."
Gu Yu didn't feel that he was talking, but that another person named Gu Yu was talking to Ji Miaoxian.
She spoke without any logic, just mechanically splicing together words that came to mind.
Ji Miaoxian muttered: "What are you talking nonsense about? Did all three souls and six souls feed that fish?"
fish?
Who is the fish?
Where are the fish?
Gu Yu sat there, calm on the surface, but in reality his mind was like a puddle of mush.
Ji Miaoxian rested his elbows on the table, held his chin with one hand and said, "Didn't you notice that I changed my clothes?"
Gu Yu slowly shifted her gaze, reluctantly remembering that Ji Miaoxian was wearing a gorgeous purple palace dress when she came here, but now she was wearing a gold-woven blue skirt.
Gu Yu regained consciousness for a moment and said as if facing a formidable enemy: "What happened!"
Ji Miaoxian said: "My young master, you have brought back a ray of soul. Just now, a palace maid accidentally spilled the drink and got all over me. I had no choice but to go out and change clothes."
Gu Yu said blankly: "Didn't any accident happen?"
Ji Miaoxian pursed his lips and said, "It happened, but it didn't happen. I'm fine now."
Gu Yu nodded and said, "It's okay."
Ji Miaoxian was completely speechless.
I don't know how long it took, but a palace maid hurried into the palace and said something in the ear of the eldest princess.
The eldest princess changed her expression and hurriedly picked up her skirt and left the palace.
After a few more ceremonies, the palace banquet came to an end.
The officials left one after another, and Gu Yu and Ji Miaoxian were among the crowd.
Someone with good intentions asks the palace maid what just happened.
The palace maid whispered: "It seems that King Xiaoyao fell into the water after drinking."
The good-hearted person asked: "How are people doing now?"
The palace maid said: "The imperial doctor has passed away."
The troublemaker asked: "Has the prince been in a bad mood recently? The slap from a bear some time ago has not healed completely. Now it is such a cold day and he fell into the water again. Isn't it going to cost him half his life?"
Gu Yu swayed when he heard their conversation, like a lonely ghost walking in the world. Fortunately, Ji Miaoxian was there, otherwise Gu Yu would not have known where he would have gone.
After leaving the palace, Gu Yu helped Ji Miaoxian onto the carriage, but he did not get on.
She said to Ji Miaoxian: "You should go back first."
Ji Miaoxian didn't say much, got into the carriage and left.
Gu Yu asked the palace guard for a horse and galloped along the deserted street.
The cold wind, the cold snow, the cold people.
Gu Qiong had already washed herself and was about to lie down in the bed warmed by Mrs. Tang, when she heard someone knocking on her door.
Gu Qiong was startled when he opened the door.
Gu Yu was covered in ice and snow, her eyes were red, and she stood outside the door as if she was lost.
Gu Qiong's heart tightened and she was not sure: "Brother, are you crying?"
