Sima Yao looked at Gu Nianzhi with lifeless eyes, and suddenly smiled. That smile was full of bitterness and self-mockery, which made people feel distressed. His eyes were empty, as if they had lost the brilliance of life. "As expected of Mr. Gu, you are still planning for me at this time. It's really rare." His voice was full of sarcasm and disappointment, and every word was like a sharp knife, piercing Gu Nianzhi's heart.

Gu Nianzhi ignored Sima Yao's ridicule and continued to persuade: "I only know that in front of the country and life, no matter how strong the love is, it can't compare." Her eyes were firm, but deep pain was hidden in them. The pain was like a whirlpool in the deep sea, constantly dragging her into endless darkness.

"Mr. Gu, you are really insightful, not as stupid as me." Sima Yao did not listen to Gu Nianzhi's persuasion. His eyes were still empty, as if his soul had left his body, leaving only a shell. His voice was light, as if it came from a distant void, without a trace of life.

"Now we are facing internal and external troubles, Lord Yao, please don't act on impulse." Gu Nianzhi's voice was raised a little, with a hint of urgency and worry. Her forehead was slightly sweaty, showing her inner anxiety.

"When you knew that I suspected that I liked a man and was troubled by the thought that I had a homosexual tendency, did you think I was funny? Did you think I was an idiot?" Sima Yao's voice was full of pain and indignation, and his eyes revealed deep despair. His body was trembling slightly, as if he was in great pain.

The two people were talking on completely different channels. One was trying to persuade the other to put the overall situation first, while the other was just immersed in the emotion of heartbreak and could not extricate himself, unable to understand the other's painstaking efforts.

"Gu Nianzhi, you are so cruel." Sima Yao said this in a daze. He felt a sharp pain in his heart and a hot current gushed out of his body. He couldn't help but bend his body and spurted out a mouthful of blood. The blood was like a blooming red plum, which was particularly dazzling in front of him.

Sima Yao was stunned when he saw the blood on his hand. The bright red blood on his pale hand was particularly dazzling, as if his broken heart was bleeding. His eyes were full of shock and confusion, as if he couldn't believe that he could be so fragile.

Gu Nianzhi was shocked and took two steps forward to support him. "Why, how could this happen? Vomiting blood?" Her voice was full of panic and worry, and her expression became very nervous. Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if it was about to jump out of her throat.

"You're still worried about me, right?" Sima Yao's voice was weak, but with a hint of expectation. His eyes were fixed on Gu Nianzhi, as if this was his last hope.

"You're crazy, is it that important whether I worry about you or not? You've vomited blood?" Gu Nianzhi shouted anxiously, her eyes were full of tears, and the tears kept flowing down her cheeks. Gu Nianzhi had only seen such a sad and vomiting blood plot in novels. She never thought that a strong man like Sima Yao would be so sad because of her. Her heart seemed to be torn into countless pieces, and each piece was crying out in pain.

"If, if you and Cen Yu were not engaged, maybe, maybe you would fall in love with me, right?" Sima Yao asked the same question again with a trembling voice. His voice was like a candle in the wind, weak and trembling, and every word was filled with deep expectation and fear. His eyes were fixed on Gu Nianzhi, full of eagerness and desire, like a person dying of thirst in the desert, waiting for a life-saving spring. His body trembled slightly, like a leaf swaying in the wind, which could be blown down at any time.

He wanted a definite answer, even if Gu Nianzhi was just perfunctory and deceiving him, he would be happy with it. His heart was extremely eager to hear Gu Nianzhi say the words he expected, even if it was just a false comfort, it would be enough to comfort his broken heart for a moment. For him, even a glimmer of hope at this moment was like a beacon in the darkness, which could illuminate his world full of pain and confusion. His hands clenched unconsciously, and his knuckles turned white due to the force, showing his inner tension and anxiety.

He just wanted to know that his infatuation was not in vain, and that everything was not just his illusion. This relationship was indeed a two-way journey from the beginning. It should not be just his own wishful thinking. Those bits and pieces of the past, those warm smiles, affectionate gazes, and caring care, should not be just an empty dream. Those beautiful times walking together under the flowers and the moon, those sweet moments of confessing their hearts to each other, have now become the most precious memories in his heart, and also the sharpest blade that hurts him the most.

"Answer me, please?" Sima Yao had already lowered his attitude to the dust. His voice was filled with pleading, and his humble tone made people feel extremely sad. Tears flashed in his eyes, reflecting his fragility and helplessness. His face was haggard, as if he had aged a lot overnight. His former spirits had long disappeared, leaving only a heart full of pain and confusion. He just wanted an answer, an answer that could give him a little support in this endless pain.

"Sima Yao, I used to love you sincerely." Gu Nianzhi had to answer. Her voice was filled with helplessness and pain, as if every word was squeezed out from the bottom of her heart with great difficulty. Her eyes were full of contradictions and struggles. Saying this was also a huge torture for her. Her heart felt like it was being gnawed by thousands of ants, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe.

"So what now?" Sima Yao asked. His eyes became more anxious, as if he wanted to see a clue from Gu Nianzhi's face, to catch even the slightest change in emotion. His breathing became rapid, and his heartbeat was particularly clear in this silent space, which was proof of his nervousness and anticipation.

Gu Nianzhi was silent. Her lips were tightly closed, her brows were furrowed, and the pain in her heart was like a surging wave. She didn't know how to answer this question. She was afraid that her answer would hurt Sima Yao again, but she couldn't say anything against her will. Her eyes wandered, and she didn't dare to meet Sima Yao's eyes, as if once she looked into his, she would lose all her courage and determination.

"Love shouldn't be taken back so quickly, right? So, you still have feelings for me now, right?" Sima Yao's humility deeply hurt Gu Nianzhi's heart. His voice was full of hope in despair, a desire to desperately grasp a ray of light in the darkness. His expression was almost pleading, like a child who had lost his way and was looking for the way home.

A dazzling man like Sima Yao should have been the bright moon in the sky, but now he is willing to become dust on the ground for her. What qualifications do I have to hurt him again and again? Her heart is full of self-blame and guilt, and tears are rolling in her eyes. Those crystal tears seem to be the embodiment of her inner pain, which may burst out at any time.

It's just that I'm destined to never be with him. Whether Cen Yu is there or not, I can't be with him. "Sima Yao, there's something I want to tell you. No matter how much you and I love each other, we can't be together forever in this life. It has nothing to do with Cen Yu. Even without Cen Yu, we can't be together." Her voice was firm and resolute, but the slightly trembling ending betrayed her inner struggle.

"No." Sima Yao shook his head. "No. If it weren't for Cen Yu, I would have married you despite all odds and stayed with you for the rest of my life." His voice was firm and powerful, as if he was protesting against fate. His eyes were full of determination and perseverance, which was his persistence and perseverance in this love.

"We are not from the same world at all." Gu Nian made a decision, and it seemed that she was relieved the moment she made this decision. Her eyes became firm, but behind that firmness was endless sadness. She wanted to tell Sima Yao the big secret, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't know how to start. The secret was like a heavy stone, pressing on her heart, making her breathless.

Sima Yao was confused and looked at Gu Nianzhi in doubt. His frown was like two entangled earthworms, and every wrinkle was filled with confusion and puzzlement. His eyes were wide open, and there was a confused mist in his eyes. His expression seemed to be lost in a thick fog that could not be dissolved, desperately looking for the direction, but to no avail. There was also a trace of disbelief in his eyes, as if he felt that his ears were hallucinating and he had misheard the incredible words that Gu Nianzhi said. "What are you talking about?" His voice was a bit anxious and confused, like a small animal trapped in a maze, anxiously trying to find the exit. His tone rose slightly, and the tail tone trembled. The voice was full of an eager desire for an answer, like a traveler who was lost in the desert and urgently needed a spring to quench his thirst.

"I am not from the Great Sheng Dynasty." Gu Nianzhi said calmly. Her voice was as steady as a windless lake, but there was a subtle tremor in it, like the subtle ripples under the calm lake. Her eyes were firm, like the cold stars twinkling in the night sky, but they seemed to hide deep helplessness, and that helplessness was like a thin layer of mist, covering her eyes. "More than half a year ago, I lived in my own world because I read a novel. There was a male second in the novel. He was the emperor's third son. He was proficient in both civil and military strategies. He was my favorite and admired type, but his ending in this novel was very bad. He was sent by his brother to a bitter and cold place, and eventually died outside the Great Wall because of his brother's conspiracy. I felt sorry for him, and then I traveled to this novel." She said these words in one breath, as if she was afraid that if she paused, she would lose the courage to speak out all this. Her eyes were a little empty, as if her thoughts had drifted back to that moment, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the bottom of her heart with difficulty, carrying heavy emotions and unspeakable pain.

Sima Yao frowned, his brows twisted into a deep "川" shape, the ravine seemed to be able to pinch a fly to death, his face was full of disbelief. His eyes were full of confusion and bewilderment, as if what Gu Nianzhi said was a strange language from a distant foreign land, completely beyond his understanding. He shook his head vigorously, trying to get rid of these chaotic thoughts from his mind. "Travel through time? Novel? Which novel are you talking about?" His voice was raised a few degrees, with doubt and confusion. His voice echoed in the empty room, seeming particularly abrupt, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, breaking the original tranquility. He tried to understand Gu Nianzhi's words, but these unfamiliar words and concepts made his mind a mess, like a tangled mess, and he couldn't figure it out. His eyes were fixed on Gu Nianzhi, full of eagerness and exploration, hoping to find some clues from her expression and eyes to solve this mystery that made him feel confused.

Gu Nianzhi slowly turned her head and looked into Sima Yao's eyes. Her eyes were firm and serious, as if she wanted to convey her true thoughts to him directly through her eyes, so that he could understand her without any obstacles. Her eyes were full of complex emotions. There was helplessness, which was like a heavy lead block, pressing her breath; there was determination, which was like a burning flame, unwavering; there was also a trace of imperceptible tenderness, which was like a spring breeze, gently blowing. "The male No. 2 I'm talking about is you. Sima Yao. To me, you are just a character in the novel. We are not from the same world at all." Her voice was clear and powerful, and every word was like a heavy stone thrown into Sima Yao's heart, stirring up layers of ripples. Her lips trembled slightly, as if when she said these words, she was also suffering from great pain in her heart. The pain was like a surging tide, impacting her mental defenses wave after wave.

Sima Yao smiled bitterly, and that smile was full of helplessness and self-mockery. His smile seemed so bitter, as if he had an unripe bitter fruit in his mouth, and every line was filled with pain. "If you want to reject me, you don't have to use such an incredible reason, right?" His voice was bitter, as if someone had stabbed the softest part of his heart with a sharp blade, and blood was dripping. A trace of pain flashed in his eyes, and that pain was like a meteor across the night sky, dazzling in an instant. He didn't want to believe that Gu Nianzhi would reject him with such a bizarre statement. In his heart, he always thought that the feelings between them were sincere and deep. He felt as if his heart was tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, and the power was so great that he was in so much pain that he couldn't breathe, and every heartbeat was accompanied by a sharp pain.
