Gu Siyu was deeply moved by these words. To her, she left Huo Junxian time and time again because she was in pain and afraid that Huo Junxian would hurt her.
She took a step forward and embraced Huo Junxian. Huo Junxian's hands hung limply at her sides. The hand wearing the glove raised slightly, then clenched very tightly, crumpling the fabric of her clothes.
In love, there are many factors that can make a person feel small.
They can't see their own strengths, while the other person becomes increasingly radiant in their eyes, causing them to avoid the light more and more.
"Would you be afraid if I got hurt?" Gu Siyu asked softly.
"Afraid," Huo Junxian replied.
"Then I won't be afraid anymore," Gu Siyu said, "I was so desperate before. I felt like you liked me but only cared about yourself, and you seemed so strong that you lacked empathy and always only loved yourself. Now that you say you're afraid I'll get hurt, I think I can trust you. You won't hurt me anymore."
Huo Junxian didn't say anything.
"I learned everything from Ning Xianzhi. You just went to find someone to help you find me. I was very touched when I heard that." Gu Siyu's departure also represented a kind of escape. She wasn't willing to love herself, but Huo Junxian persisted in searching for her, loving her so earnestly. She couldn't help but be moved.
"I'm a child who has been abandoned. I never believed that anyone would be reluctant to part with someone like me."
Gu Siyu spoke her heart, dissecting herself for her to see, "Thank you for always loving me and giving me a miracle. If this had happened in my childhood, I would have thought it was a fairy tale."
Her words were hot and powerful, as if she had rehearsed them specially, knowing which words would warm Huo Junxian's heart. She spoke deliberately sweetly.
Huo Junxian's heart throbbed inexplicably. She breathed, inhaling only cold air, and her heart ached sharply.
"To be honest, I've never expected you to become a better person. When I first liked you, you weren't that perfect. I'm a terrible person too. In the past two years, the biggest progress I've made is convincing myself to accept you like this."
As she said these words, Gu Siyu was also reflecting. She realized that recognizing her own flaws wasn't a terrible thing. Hiding them and turning them into thorns in the other person's heart was what was truly frightening.
She wasn't a very good or caring person, but since Huo Junxian now showed timidity, she grew accordingly.
When comforting others, no matter how sad, one would become incredibly brave. Perhaps human nature is inherently so kind that when they see others being timid, they will reach out to help them.
After saying these words, Gu Siyu was surprised herself.
Huo Junxian's eyes moved slightly, as if she was relying on her.
Gu Siyu felt very sorry and very fortunate that Huo Junxian was finally willing to open up her closed heart a little. The worst thing about being with someone is not knowing what they are thinking.
Words alone were not enough. Gu Siyu held her hand and they crossed the road in front of the hospital.
The winter snow fell quickly and heavily. The people and cars on the street were like fast-forward buttons, and in the blink of an eye, two years had passed. After another New Year, her relationship with Huo Junxian would have gone through all sorts of twists and turns, and they had been tossing and turning for a full five years.
