Chapter 516 Until I can't wait any longer!
Chapter 516 Until I can't wait any longer!
A little later, Yifei left, and Gu Zhiyao continued to stare blankly until He Yi brought Chenchen and Niuniu back.
"Mom, do you know how happy and surprised I was when I saw Dad at the school gate? I thought I was dreaming!" Niu Niu put down her schoolbag and immediately ran to Gu Zhiyao to say.
Looking at her rosy cheeks, Gu Zhiyao couldn't help but smile. She took a towel and wiped her sweat, then gave Chenchen a loving smile, but didn't really look at the other figure.
"Little sister, were you a good girl today? Did you bother Mommy?" Niu Niu said to Gu Zhiyao's belly.
Although Chenchen wasn't like Niu Niu, he sat quietly next to Gu Zhiyao, watching Niu Niu's actions.
He Yi watched all this quietly from the side, and couldn't help but recall some of the scenes that Gu Zhiyao had told him earlier that day. His feelings were once again mixed, and he wished he could have been a part of it.
That night, after the children had fallen asleep, he went to Gu Zhiyao's dormitory again.
Gu Zhiyao was about to take a shower. Because of her pregnancy, she had difficulty moving around and often didn't even dare to squat down easily, so taking a shower wasn't very convenient.
She was taking a bath when He Yi saw her and was shocked. He walked in and saw that Gu Zhiyao was only wearing a thin nightgown. He was immediately stunned.
However, He Yi clearly had no other intentions. He immediately took the brush from her hand and began to scrub carefully. Seeing this, Gu Zhiyao's unease gradually disappeared, and she just stared at him blankly.
After He Yi finished his work, he turned around and looked at her face. "Is this okay? Do you need to wipe any more areas?"
He rolled up his sleeves, and beads of sweat glistened on his forehead. Gu Zhiyao stared at him, mesmerized. This was a side of him she had never seen before; he seemed so real and down-to-earth.
Yes, this should be the normal life for humans, this is what it truly means to live.
A touch of emotion quietly welled up in Gu Zhiyao's heart.
He Yi gradually realized that he had only thought about not letting her get tired and about helping her, without thinking about anything else.
This was also the first time he had done something like this, and he felt a sense of joy and excitement.
Then he walked up to her and said again, "Gu Zhiyao, please give me a chance. I really want to take care of you. Today, experiencing all of this, picking Chenchen and Niuniu up from school, and seeing them chatting happily with you, enjoying dinner as a family, all of this touched me deeply and I cherish it. I have never had such wonderful memories before."
They were very close, and as they spoke, He Yi's warm breath fell on Gu Zhiyao.
She trembled slightly, and her thoughts became chaotic.
“If you feel indebted to Yifei, we can find a way to make it up to him. I will do my best to repay his kindness. You, just hand Yifei over to me? You don’t need to sacrifice the rest of your life to repay him. I will arrange other compensation and repayment for him.” He Yi continued, gently lifting her chin with his large hand.
Gu Zhiyao stared at him, her thoughts growing increasingly chaotic, but suddenly, she pushed him hard.
“He Yi, I told you before, it’s impossible for us anymore. As for me being with Yi Fei, there’s no such thing as sacrifice. He’s such a good person, I won’t lose out by marrying him.”
The smile on He Yi's face froze instantly.
“I understand everything you’ve said, and I hope I can’t deprive you of your right to enjoy the joys of fatherhood, but I’m really sorry, I can’t go back to that kind of life. The pain I felt back then was too profound for me, and I can’t bear to bear it again. Why don’t you take Chenchen back?”
He Yi's heart was shattered inch by inch.
After a short while, she raised her voice slightly and said, "Have you thought about Chenchen when you made this decision? You're willing to abandon him just to avoid seeing me. Doesn't it really hurt you?"
It hurts! How could it not hurt!
But that's all she can think of right now!
Gu Zhiyao was speechless with grief.
A long silence fell over the air.
He Yi softened his tone, no longer as aggressive as before, but the grief and helplessness in his eyes were still very clear and intense.
He stared intently at her, his gaze moving from her stubborn, pretty face to her body, finally settling on her protruding belly, and a look of pain instantly settled in his eyes.
Then, she took a deep breath and said, "I'm leaving now. Tell Chenchen and Niuniu tomorrow that Gu Zhiyao will always wait for you. If you're willing to try again, just let me know."
Back then, in that small, dark room, I promised you I would marry you, and I will wait for you for the rest of my life, until I can no longer wait!
After He Yi left, the air became completely quiet, but Gu Zhiyao's heart could no longer find peace.
His words kept echoing in her ears, and the image of him in agony, like a trapped beast, kept flashing through her mind. After finally falling asleep that night, she had nightmares.
She saw a tombstone, and the photo on it was him!
"Gu Zhiyao, I will wait for you until I can no longer wait."
He really couldn't wait for her!
In the photo, his handsome face is thin, but he has a forced smile on his face.
She stared at the photo, tears streaming down her face. She wanted to go over and reach out to touch him, but her feet seemed to be rooted to the spot, and she couldn't get close no matter what she did.
Ah!
Gu Zhiyao woke up with a start, looked around, and felt as if his scent was still in the air. She recalled the terrifying dream again, and couldn't help but cover her face, sobbing softly, her whole body trembling.
He Yi returned to Yuncheng, and everything seemed to have returned to normal. But only Gu Zhiyao knew that her heart could no longer find peace, and it was no longer as peaceful and tranquil as it had been in the first two months after she arrived.
A bad mindset naturally affects the body. She lost weight without realizing it. She was already five months pregnant and her belly had grown much bigger, but her weight had decreased.
Yifei gradually noticed these changes and realized that Gu Zhiyao had started to change after his uncle's last visit.
He didn't know what happened between his uncle and her that night, or what he said to her, but Niu Niu had told him that her father came that night, the family ate together, and they were very happy. Her father was happy, and her mother was smiling too.
Yes, we are family, we should be together and enjoy family life.
However, these rights were taken away from them.
Was it my own doing?
Yifei watched all of this quietly. He wanted to talk to Gu Zhiyao several times, but in the end he didn't say it. He felt increasingly heavy-hearted, sad, and even struggled with his feelings.
Another month passed like this.
Gu Zhiyao is six months pregnant.
During this prenatal checkup, the doctor raised a concern: "Your weight is below standard. You need to eat more and absorb more nutrients. Otherwise, if you continue to lose weight like this, childbirth will be very difficult, and there may even be some uncontrollable complications. Other pregnant women gain weight as they grow, but you are getting thinner and thinner. I don't know why this is happening, but I must remind you that this is absolutely not acceptable."
As Gu Zhiyao listened to the doctor's somber report, a violent turmoil immediately arose in her heart!
