Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 2095  Don’t Cry….

All the servants have long been evacuated.

Even the man who followed Gu Xia Mo didn't come inside as Gu Xia Mo didn't let him. "Don't cry…" Gu Xia Mo's voice contained panic and helplessness. He wanted to coax Yan Jin Nian, but he didn't know what to say.

It was all his fault for making Yan Jin Nian cry like this.

He knew that and Gu Xia Mo would never make excuse for himself. Because he knew very well that there was no excuse for him.

He couldn't be there for her.

And he would accept if she hates him. "You… stupid!" Yan Jin Nian chocked on her own tears, "Why did you never come? You stupid!"

She beat his chest lightly and continued to cry and all Gu Xia Mo could do was to hold Yan Jin Nian closely and let her do what she wanted. "Yes, I'm stupid. So you don't have to cry for this stupid man, okay?" Gu Xia Mo coaxed Yan Jin Nian again. He didn't know where to put his hands and could only hold Yan Jin Nian's back with one hand and the other one trying to wipe Yan Jin Nian's tears. It was just that this strategy didn't seem to work. Yan Jin Nian kept on crying and Gu Xia Mo could only hold her helplessly yet tenderly. Time passed quietly.

It took Yan Jin Nian some time to calm down and stopped crying. Raising her head, she could see Gu Xia Mo's face near her and if she were to pay close attention to her posture, she was basically straddling him….

Yan Jin Nian's face turned red as she quickly stood up. The etiquette of this world was different from her previous world and as the Empress back then, Yan Jin Nian was taught very strictly about it. She didn't want to forget these things, but she couldn't help it. When she saw Gu Xia Mo, she just felt like she wanted to go and cry to him like what she had always done in the past. Gu Xia Mo's hand hang for a moment, relishing the soft touch from not long ago before he raised his head and smiled at Yan Jin Nian. There was sadness, regret, and heartache in his eyes, yet there were also tenderness. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Are you feeling better now?" Gu Xia Mo asked. Yan Jin Nian nodded and raised her sleeve to wipe her tears. She could guess that her appearance was a mess right now, but she didn't care about it. She nodded and then asked, "Where have you been?"

"I… I was busy with my people," Gu Xia Mo wanted to explain everything, but the words stuck in his throat. He didn't know how to explain what he had experienced over the years. Yan Jin Nian looked at Gu Xia Mo.

He was thin and looking at the wheelchair, she guessed that he couldn't stand up anymore. Even if there were times when she wanted to scold Gu Xia Mo for not being there, but she also understood that it was nothing more than wishes of herself. Reality has never been so kind to let them have all of their wishes. And seeing him in this situation, Yan Jin Nian only felt heartache. It was not easy for him either. "I miss you," Yan Jin Nian whispered. The three words seemed to convey the deep feelings that Yan Jin Nian had. Even if there were still many things she wanted to say, she ended up only saying this one sentence to Gu Xia Mo. "I miss you too," Gu Xia Mo replied, showing a reassuring smile on his face. No matter what he experienced, how much hardship he had to face, he still remembered Yan Jin Nian and how much he missed her. It almost drove him crazy when he had to make the decision not to search for her. With no clues and chaotic environment, Gu Xia Mo could only try his best for his people around him.

He tried his best.

And when things finally settled down, so much time has passed and still not a single clue about her. Until he met Long Qian Xing.

"Sorry…"

"Don't apologize…. I…."

"You can hate me and be angry, I…" Gu Xia Mo looked at Yan Jin Nian's expression and felt like a knife was slicing his heart. He didn't want to see her so sad like this, yet there was nothing that he could do. "I'm not." Yan Jin Nian glared at Gu Xia Mo. She couldn't hate him because she understood that in this world, they were no longer the same as they used to be. Their power, their influence, their abilities, everything was different.

And she herself also eventually didn't search for him and wanted to let it go.

"You're really…" Gu Xia Mo was helpless about Yan Jin Nian and stretched his hand and held Yan Jin Nian's hand. Her hand was soft and also a bit thin. Even though Yan Jin Nian was not living a bad life, her health has never been good in this world. So it was a bit hard for her to gain a lot of weight. "You're here now. That's all that matters." Yan Jin Nian wiped her tears. "There are a lot of things I want to say."

"Me too."

The two of them looked at each other and then Yan Jin Nian pointed to the table behind her. Gu Xia Mo nodded and pushed his wheelchair through using the wheels. …

While Gu Xia Mo and Yan Jin Nian had a lot to catch up with each other, Nan Hua was staying in the small hut and got dressed. On the other hand, Long Qian Xing was waiting outside for the two sides to be done. He saw that Nan Hua's subordinates have left and didn't care about it.

After all, he had no business with them. Instead, Long Qian Xing was thinking about Nan Hua's plan and waited patiently.
