Even though Gu Yingyi was very reluctant to make this decision, for the sake of Shen Yu’s recovery, he finally let Liang Ruizhe take him away.

　　When leaving, Gu Yingyi saw with his own eyes the bright smile on Shen Yu’s thin and sickly face, a smile he had never seen before around him.

　　Liang Ruizhe helped the person into the car, and Assistant Liu closed the door. Gu Yingyi’s sight of Shen Yu was also blocked.

　　Assistant Liu was about to see them off when he saw Gu Yingyi and asked him if he had any instructions.

　　Gu Yingyi took a small step forward, wanting to go up and say something to Shen Yu, but he stopped and couldn’t say anything.

　　Assistant Liu got into the driver’s seat and started the car. The car body raised a cloud of dust and drove away gradually.

　　No one could understand how Gu Yingyi felt right now. He felt heartbroken, an unprecedented heartbreak. He watched his beloved leave him with his own eyes, but he was powerless and could do nothing.

　　Shen Yu was afraid of him and didn’t want to stay by his side. His closeness would only make Shen Yu’s condition worse. Gu Yingyi was reluctant to let him go, but he had no other choice.

　　The fists he had clenched at his sides slowly loosened, and an air of dejection filled the air around him. He stood there, staring at the car body going away, without moving for a long time.

　　……

　　Assistant Liu came back after sending Liang Ruizhe and Shen Yu back. Gu Yingyi was not in the hospital. He called Gu Yingyi but he didn’t answer. Not giving up, he called a few more times before the other end finally answered.

　　Gu Yingyi’s drunken voice came from the receiver. Assistant Liu frowned. Going to drink with injuries all over his body was ruining his body.

　　When Assistant Liu asked for the address and found Gu Yingyi, Gu Yingyi was already drunk. He was in the VIP suite of a bar that he used to frequent most. As soon as he opened the door, the strong smell of alcohol hit him in the face. Gu Yingyi was slumped on a sofa with a pile of wine bottles, his clothes were disheveled, his cheeks were flushed, and his eyes were cloudy.

　　He ignored his right hand in a cast and poured wine into his mouth desperately. Assistant Liu immediately stepped forward and snatched the bottle from him.

　　Gu Yingyi was immediately dissatisfied, and glared at Assistant Liu with drunken eyes, “What are you doing?”

　　Assistant Liu couldn’t stand Gu Yingyi’s abuse of his health, so he said earnestly, “Boss Gu, don’t ruin your health. You can’t drink too much now.”

　　Gu Yingyi was so drunk that he lost his mind and grabbed Assistant Liu’s shoulders and screamed, “Shen Yu doesn’t want me! He left, he left with Liang Ruizhe!”

　　Assistant Liu sighed, “Boss Gu, please sober up. No matter how much you struggle, Mr. Shen will not come back now. He will not get better if he stays with you.”

　　Even if he comes back, he won’t be close to you.

　　The sharpness on Gu Yingyi’s face suddenly faded. He staggered back two steps, fell weakly back on the sofa, his eyes were blank, and he smiled bitterly and muttered to himself: “Yes, he doesn’t like me anymore, he hates me… he can’t get better when he’s around me…”

　　Gu Yingyi’s expression was sad, with a look of despair and sadness that Assistant Liu had never seen before. “What on earth can I do to make him forgive me…” He denied himself again, “No, I don’t deserve his forgiveness…”

　　Alcohol paralyzed his nerves, magnified his pain, and confused his mind. Gu Yingyi actually covered his face and sobbed. The tall man cried like a child, choking with childish sobs, “I can’t… I can’t live without him. I was wrong, I was really wrong…”

　　Assistant Liu looked at the dejected Gu Yingyi without saying a word. He was just an outsider. Although he could see that Gu Yingyi regretted his actions to the point of death and wanted to kill his past self, there was no medicine for regret in the world and what had happened could not be changed.

　　The harm he inflicted on Shen Yu is now being repaid to Gu Yingyi bit by bit. Shen Yu’s forgetfulness and resistance are the greatest punishment for Gu Yingyi.

　　Gu Yingyi drank too much and cried like a child for most of the day before falling asleep. Assistant Liu sent him back to the villa, handed him over to the servant and left.

　　Shen Yu still has about a month of drug treatment time, and Gu Yingyi’s marks have been almost covered. In the first week after Shen Yu left, Gu Yingyi couldn’t bear the thought of him anymore, so he secretly ran to the town where Liang Ruizhe’s hometown was. When he stood downstairs of Liang Ruizhe’s building and looked at Shen Yu from afar, he found that Shen Yu’s mental state and complexion had improved a lot.

　　After leaving me, Shen Yu was visibly getting better.

　　People are always greedy. After taking one look, they want to take a few more looks.

　　Gu Yingyi often hid near the downstairs of Liang Ruizhe’s house. He didn’t dare to go directly to Liang Ruizhe’s house, for fear that Shen Yu would be upset again if he saw him. Sometimes the windows of Liang Ruizhe’s house were open, and Shen Yu liked to sit by the window to bask in the sun. When he was lucky, Gu Yingyi could watch him from afar for a long time.

　　But you can’t see Shen Yu every time you come. For example, today, Gu Yingyi squatted near Liang Ruizhe’s house for a long time but didn’t see anyone.

　　The windows of Liang Ruizhe’s house were closed, perhaps because no one was at home. There were cigarette butts scattered around Gu Yingyi’s feet. He had been smoking a lot recently.

　　This small town is not crowded and is very quiet and peaceful, in stark contrast to the bustling city A.

　　Gu Yingyi didn’t leave. He sat on a chair on the roadside near Liang Ruizhe’s house. It was not until the evening that he finally saw Shen Yu and Liang Ruizhe in front of him.

　　Almost subconsciously, Gu Yingyi hid behind the corner of the wall.

　　Liang Ruizhe did not notice Gu Yingyi. He held Shen Yu’s hand and walked slowly with him. He was holding fresh vegetables and fruits in his hands and had just returned from the vegetable market.

　　After walking for a while, Shen Yu felt a little tired. He gradually couldn’t keep up with Liang Ruizhe’s pace, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

　　Liang Ruizhe stopped walking when he noticed Shen Yu. He turned around to look at Shen Yu, whose hair was slightly wet from walking and whose cheeks were flushed with heat. He asked softly, “Are you tired?”

　　Shen Yu shook his head to indicate that he was not tired, but he was actually breathing heavily.

　　He was holding a bag of peaches in his hand, which he had snatched from Liang Ruizhe because he wanted to share it with him.

　　He took Shen Yu out to play for the whole afternoon, and in the evening he took him to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. Liang Ruizhe neglected his physical strength, rubbed his slightly sweaty hair apologetically, and then took the peach from his hand, “Give it to me.”

　　Shen Yu refused to give it.

　　Liang Ruizhe showed a helpless expression, then he squatted in front of Shen Yu and said to him: “It’s still a long way to go, come, I’ll carry you.”

　　Shen Yu hesitated for a moment, but he really couldn’t walk anymore. The soles of his feet hurt so much. He slowly lay on Liang Ruizhe’s back and put his slender arms around Liang Ruizhe’s neck.

　　Liang Ruizhe dragged his thighs and easily carried Shen Yu on his back and continued to walk forward. Shen Yu tensed up and dared not move. He heard Shen Yu’s voice as soft as a mosquito from behind, “Yu Yu, heavy.”

　　Liang Ruizhe didn’t hear clearly, “What?”

　　”Yuyu is too heavy for Ruizhe to carry. Ruizhe is tired, so Yuyu comes down and walks on his own.”

　　Liang Ruizhe wanted to laugh when he heard this. Shen Yu was not heavy at all; he was as light as a feather. He deliberately shook him up and successfully heard Shen Yu’s exclamation and the arms that tightened around his neck.

　　”It’s not heavy.” Liang Ruizhe said with a smile.

　　Shen Yu puffed his cheeks and hugged his neck tightly with both arms, “Ruizhe is a bad guy, don’t scare Yuyu.”

　　Liang Ruizhe laughed and walked away with Shen Yu on his back.

　　After their figures disappeared at the stairs, Gu Yingyi came out from the corner. He looked at the lights in Liang Ruizhe’s house with a complicated and sad look, and his expression was filled with unspeakable grievance.

　　The scene of Liang Ruizhe and Shen Yu laughing and talking happily was still replaying in his mind, hurting his heart particularly.

　　The funniest thing is that he could do nothing but watch Shen Yu put all his trust in another man.

　　He clenched his fists and pounded them hard against the wall in anger and venting.

　　The skin on the beautiful knuckles was broken, but Gu Yingyi didn’t care. He leaned against the wall and slid down weakly and sat down slowly.

　　Gu Yingyi sat on the ground for a long time, until the dim street lights on the roadside came on and the cold moonlight sprinkled on him, casting a layer of loneliness and desolation all over his body.

　　He leaned against the wall, smoking one cigarette after another, his eyes fixed on the window with warm yellow light.

　　There was the person he loved most, the person who was right in front of him, but he could not reach him.

　　……

　　Every day that Shen Yu left, Gu Yingyi counted the days on his fingers. In the past month, every moment felt like a year to Gu Yingyi. God knows he missed Shen Yu so much that he was going crazy.

　　He set a deadline for Liang Ruizhe: one month later, when Shen Yu recovered, he would take Shen Yu away from Liang Ruizhe.

　　Having said that, if Shen Yu really didn’t want to go with him, Gu Yingyi didn’t know if he could have the heart to take Shen Yu away by force. He was afraid that Shen Yu would show a terrified expression to him again. Gu Yingyi had experienced this deeply during this period of time. It was really painful.

　　He can show cowardice and caution in front of Shen Yu, but he will not show his weaknesses in front of Liang Ruizhe.

　　Liang Ruizhe did not agree at first, because Shen Yu was so afraid of Gu Yingyi, he was worried that Shen Yu would be scared again around Gu Yingyi. But Gu Yingyi said that only he could help Shen Yu cure his eyes, and he could give Shen Yu the best medical resources. What could he, Liang Ruizhe, give Shen Yu?

　　Gu Yingyi’s words touched Liang Ruizhe’s heart deeply. Indeed, he was a dying man. He had no money to treat Shen Yu’s eyes, and he didn’t have much time to accompany Shen Yu. Even if Shen Yu was by his side, how long could he protect Shen Yu?

　　Liang Ruizhe did not tell Gu Yingyi about his illness, nor did he immediately agree to let Gu Yingyi take the person away after a month. He did not believe enough that Gu Yingyi could treat Shen Yu well.

　　But Gu Yingyi did not discuss it with Liang Ruizhe, he just told Liang Ruizhe in a notification tone.

　　”Recognize your identity. Shen Yu is not someone you can covet. I asked you to come here only for Shen Yu’s treatment. I hope you understand this.” This is what Gu Yingyi said to Liang Ruizhe alone on the day Liang Ruizhe took Shen Yu away.

　　It is a warning and also Gu Yingyi’s last bottom line.

　　He warned Liang Ruizhe that letting him take Shen Yu away was not his retreat or tolerance, but was just for Shen Yu’s health, and he should not think about anything other than assisting Shen Yu in clearing the marks and treatment.
