Chapter 366: Chapter 366 He Enters Her Dreams Every Night_1
Wenya let out a deep sigh,
“Ayun, actually, so many years have passed. The truth of the matter doesn’t matter anymore. After all, Gu Yuanzhou… is already dead. Let all grievances return to dust. The more you know, the more regret you’ll have in your heart, and the more pain you’ll feel.”
“It hurts, yes, but I don’t want to deceive myself for a lifetime in a daze.”
“But, with Gu Yuanzhou gone, and he has no parents or siblings, where will you go to find the truth?”
No sooner had Wenya asked this question,
than Su Peisheng gave me the answer, “Doesn’t he have an aunt in the Nun’s Nunnery at Qingmu Mountain?”
Wenya immediately kicked him again, “It’s always you who has the smarts, always you who can’t keep his mouth shut, you’d feel uncomfortable if you didn’t speak up, right?”
I patted Wenya’s arm, “It’s okay, he’s right. Actually, even if he hadn’t said it, I would have thought of it myself. I plan to go there tomorrow to check it out.”
“Ayun, there’s really no need. Let bygones be bygones!”
I didn’t argue with Wenya.
I’m the kind of person who likes things clear-cut, everything laid out clearly.
There can be no confusion.
This late-night meal lasted a long time, until one o’clock in the morning.
Wenya claimed to have drunk too much and insisted on staying at my place for the night.
I could tell she wasn’t really drunk, she just wanted an excuse to stay with me.
I didn’t keep her, instead, I persuaded her and Su Peisheng to go home.
We’re all adults now.
No matter how tough the barrier, I can get over it myself.
That night, I couldn’t fall asleep.
Tossing and turning in bed, rolling around with my pillow, despite desperately wanting to sleep, my mind was unusually alert.
Only at dawn did I manage to drift off in a daze.
However, I hadn’t slept long when I was awakened by the sound of the doorbell.
When I got out of bed to open the door, there stood Shen Yishu, his left hand holding a packaged breakfast, his right hand clutching a document bag.
Upon closer inspection, it was indeed the letter from Gu Yuanzhou that I’d left in the car.
“Such heavy dark circles, you didn’t sleep well last night again?”
“Yeah, I had insomnia!”
“I think, maybe you should consider taking some of the medicine Dr. Jiang prescribed you,” Shen Yishu suggested as he placed the packaged breakfast on the table.
After brushing my teeth and washing my face, I felt utterly drained when I finally sat down on the chair.
For some reason, I had dreamt about Gu Yuanzhou all night long.
Sometimes in my dream, I saw him in the courtroom, staring at me with bloodshot eyes, bitterly asking, Ayun, do you want me to die?
“Ayun?”
I looked up sharply, and Shen Yishu was watching me.
“Uh, what’s up, what did you just call me?”
“Called you Xiaoyun, what’s wrong? Xiaoyun, you look really pale, are you sick?”
“I’m fine, maybe I’ve just caught a cold recently and I’m a bit weak.”
“Oh, eat this breakfast then! I’ll go with you to see the doctor later.”
“I don’t need to see a doctor, it’s just a minor illness…”
In fact, I wasn’t hungry at all, not the slightest appetite.
But since Shen Yishu had gone to the trouble of buying it, I couldn’t dismiss his kindness.
And besides, eating breakfast is something everyone should do.
I nibbled on a little bit.
Shen Yishu just sat silently next to me, watching me.
After a long while, he said,
“Hasn’t Ding Yinuo come back yet?”
“No, he hasn’t!”
“Then you two…”
“I don’t want to talk about it, Shen Yishu, I need to go out.”
