Chapter 58 Illness

Gu Chuan and Chu Yan went through a period of quarrels, but later on, Chu Yan became quieter and quieter. She no longer quarreled with Gu Chuan, but would find something to do to pass the time. Gu Chuan once discovered that Chu Yan fell in love with jigsaw puzzles. She was very patient and would often sit for an entire afternoon, immersed in piecing together the picture, and would not say a few words to him.

At that time, he just thought it would be good for Chu Yan to have something to do so that she wouldn't have to worry too much.

Gu Chuan found this puzzle in a room where junk was stored. He had never paid attention to how many small things Chu Yan had left behind before, but now he urgently needed to find some of Chu Yan's things. In the corner of the pile of junk, he found this box of puzzle pieces.

Chu Yan just put together the beginning, perhaps because she felt that there was no point in taking this thing away, so she threw it here. She knew that Gu Chuan would not care about these things she didn't want, and he would definitely throw them all away.

But back then, no one of them thought that things would change.

When Gu Chuan had put half of the puzzle together, he realized what the painting was supposed to look like. The irony was that he couldn't piece together the complete picture of the child no matter how hard he tried. It was as if this child shouldn't exist.

"I've been thinking... I've been thinking..." Gu Chuan's bloodshot eyes seemed to be bleeding. His body was cold, but his throat was hot. Every word he spoke with difficulty seemed like a sharp weapon cutting through his throat. "If our child could come into this world, what would it look like?"

"But now I am the only one who remembers him."

"Yan Yan has forgotten everything. She doesn't remember me or our child."

"Will she marry another man?"

"Will she bear another man's child?"

"Mother..." Gu Chuan grabbed the lady's arm, like a lost lamb, and asked in a daze and panic: "Didn't you always say that I should separate from Yanyan? As long as I separate from her, I can have a better life, but why am I so miserable now?"

Mrs. Gu's breathing was trembling as she looked at her fragile son, who seemed like he would break at the slightest touch. However, his stubborn eyes hinted that his mental condition was very bad. He seemed to be turning from a normal person into a crazy lunatic. She felt scared, a fear she had never felt before.

"Gu Chuan, calm down." Madam Gu was terrified, but she forced herself to calm down. "Those things are in the past. You should have a new life. You and Song Xueying broke up, so just break up. No matter who you like in the future, I will not object. You will meet someone you like in the future and have your own children..."

"will not."

Mrs. Gu was stunned when she heard the two words her son uttered calmly.

He said: "I just want that child back, and I won't have any other children except that child."

The only way to get the child back is to conceive him again in Chu Yan's womb.

Mrs. Gu realized that Gu Chuan's obsession was far more serious than she thought. She had seen how Shen Xing cared for Chu Yan. Shen Xing would never give up. So what should Gu Chuan do? What would he do?
She asked incredulously: "Do you really have to have Chu Yan?"

"Yes." Gu Chuan said: "I can't live without her."

Mrs. Gu almost fled from the house and sat in the car. She couldn't calm down for a long time. The image of Gu Chuan at the age of 18 stubbornly saying that he loved Chu Yan appeared in front of her eyes. The image of Gu Chuan now with his lifeless look appeared in his eyes again. She felt a heart-wrenching pain.

Yes, she has always been very strict with Gu Chuan. Gu Chuan is the face of the Gu family and the face of her and her husband. Except for emotional issues, he has never been a worry to anyone.

But Gu Chuan is her son after all. The reason why he is neither human nor ghost now is because of Chu Yan.

Mrs. Gu hates Chu Yan because she makes Gu Chuan become less and less like the Gu Chuan he used to be. But Mrs. Gu is also afraid. If Gu Chuan continues like this, what will he become?
She was at a loss and called her husband who was far away abroad. The moment the call was connected, she couldn't help but choked up and said, "Did we do something wrong before?" As night fell, the puzzle was never completed because a piece was missing.

Gu Chuan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the night view outside.

When they were choosing a house, Chu Yan said she liked the night lights on the other side of the river. As long as they opened the curtains, there would always be light in the dark, so they bought the house here.

But now, she is on the other side of the river, in that lighted building, and there is a light in the room where she is.

What is she doing?

Waiting for your lover to get off work, then snuggling into his arms, lying on the sofa with him and chatting about trivial things?
What will they do?

There must be hugs and kisses, but for a couple in love, this is definitely not enough.

Do they wear condoms when they do it?

Is there another man's child in her belly?
But this isn't right.

Her womb should have been the cradle for his and her child to grow.

Blood dripped onto the floor drop by drop, creating red bloodstains. A faint smell of blood filled the dim room.

The silent man stood by the window with his arms hanging down and his sleeves rolled up. On his forearms, there were deep and shallow scratches, both new and old. The scar that had formed not long ago was scratched again, and the blood that seeped out mixed with the blood from the new wound. The pain in his flesh temporarily overwhelmed the pain in his body.

It was as if it was opium that made him morbidly addicted.

There was a gentle breeze and it was much cooler at night than during the day.

Chu Yan sat on a chair on the balcony, looking at the sky with interest.

In cities with severe light pollution, it is rare to see a night sky with stars so bright.

Shen Xing came out of the shower with a box of yogurt in his hand, with a straw already inserted. He handed it to her. The next second, she was picked up and placed on his lap.

Shen Xing asked with great interest: "After watching for so long, have you gained any insights?"

Chu Yan looked up at him and smiled, "I don't have any feelings, I just think she's very beautiful."

Shen Xing had a dry towel in his hand, wiping her still wet hair, and said with a chuckle: "If you like to look at the stars, we can go to the planetarium."

"Let's talk about it when you have time." Chu Yan enjoyed his service with peace of mind, leaning in his arms, with a beautiful night view in front of her. She took a sip of yogurt and suddenly said: "Shen Xing, should we exchange rings?"

Shen Xing was stunned. After a long while, he continued, "What?"

"Change the ring." Chu Yan hugged his neck and smiled happily, "I don't remember anything about the past. Propose to me again."
