He's spoiled rotten; that wolf cub knows how to flirt and be affectionate.

When Qu Yi woke up, she felt a lot of pain in her neck. She must have slept on her stomach yesterday and gotten a stiff neck.

I wanted to stretch, but found I couldn't move my hand.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that Gu Yifan had caught him.

and many more!

Gu Yifan caught her?!

Qu Yi suddenly looked up and met a pair of eyes full of smiles.

"you're awake?!"

"Yes, you were asleep last night."

Qu Yi pursed her red lips: "You should wake me up."

Gu Yifan chuckled: "You're sleeping so soundly, I can't bear to part with you."

Upon hearing this, Qu Yi was stunned.

When she met Gu Yifan's gaze, she felt that something about him seemed different.

"what happened to you?"

“Sister, I almost died, I almost never saw you again, but there are still so many things I haven’t said. Before, I was always afraid of scaring you, afraid that you would run away, but after this experience, after being so close to death, I realized that some things must be said, otherwise I’m afraid one day I will never have the chance again…”

If he really leaves this world this time and enters the underworld, he will definitely still regret not telling her everything.

"Everyone says that there will always be regrets in life, but I don't want my regret to be you."

"I love you."

"Love you."

"Qu Yi, can you hear me? I love you."

This was the first time he had called her by her name.

Qu Yi subconsciously tried to pull her hand back, but he held it tightly and she couldn't move at all.

He was forcing her to listen to his confession, to hear him dissect his heart.

"Bang!"

The door was pushed open forcefully.

Elsie rushed in, panting, and only when she stood to the side did she realize that the atmosphere in the ward was strange. Her gaze fell on the two people's clasped hands.

He got it.

Then, feeling frustrated and disappointed.

This hopeless romantic, love-struck fool has barely woken up before he starts radiating hormones.

"Am I disturbing you?"

Qu Yi tried to pull hard, but Gu Yifan restrained her forcefully again.

He smiled at Elsie and said, "No."

He has finished speaking; whether Qu Yi agrees or not is not important.

Regardless of whether he agrees or not, he won't let her leave.

After Gu Yifan woke up, Qu Yi stopped caring about the messy affairs of the Horsenias family.

The pressure fell on Gu Yifan once again.

He said with a mournful face, "Sister, I'm still a patient."

Qu Yi glanced at him but ignored him.

Gu Yifan continued his performance: "I don't care, I need the power of love!"

Qu Yi's eyelid twitched.

really.

Gu Yifan started to act spoiled, begging and pleading for kisses and hugs.

Qu Yi had a terrible headache, so she picked up an apple from the side, peeled one, and handed it to him.

"Give."

"..." Gu Yifan took the apple with a numb face and took a bite without thinking.

Suddenly, he held the apple up to Qu Yi.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the bite he took was actually in the shape of a heart.

Gu Yifan's smile, as dazzling as the blazing sun, reappeared:

"Thank you for the apple, sister."

Qu Yi looked at his smile, her expression not changing much.

Just think.

This kid is silly.

After Gu Yifan expressed his love, he kept expressing it. So much so that Qu Yi wanted to shut him up.

In fact, it wasn't just Qu Yi who thought this way; Elsie and the others thought the same.

However, Elsie only thought about it and didn't actually do anything to stop it, nor could he stop it anyway.

Qu Yi, as one of the parties involved, did try to stop it, but it was to no avail, so she gave up.

Decades have passed, and neither she nor Gu Yifan have married. Their relationship has maintained a strange balance.

On his deathbed, Gu Yifan suddenly grabbed Qu Yi's hand tightly. He had thought that as he approached true death, there were some things he would want to ask.

But when the time actually came, he simply held her hand and asked, "Are you happy?"

Qu Yi hadn't expected him to ask that, so she nodded.

Gu Yifan then asked, "Are you happy because of me?"

Qu Yi nodded again.

In fact, she didn't have many friends or close family ties, and most of the happiness she had gained over the decades came from Gu Yifan.

Gu Yifan's face showed a satisfied expression, and his spirits seemed to improve at once, but after saying a few more words, his breathing gradually weakened.

He gripped her hand tightly, forcing out a dry, guttural sound from his throat.

"I...can't bear to..."

Qu Yi stared at Gu Yifan's face. His aged features still hinted at his youthful handsomeness. She would sometimes joke that he would still be a handsome old man when he got old.

Gu Yifan always responded with a smile: "Still a handsome old man who loves to laugh, right?"

He knew that Qu Yi liked to see him smile.

Qu Yi gently pressed her fingertip against Gu Yifan's lips, and only then did she gradually come to her senses.

He will never laugh again.

After Gu Yifan left, Elsie came over and gave her something.

It was a box containing a notebook.

This is Gu Yifan's notebook, used to record some things he wanted to say but didn't say aloud.

I'm sorry for trapping her for a lifetime, but I don't regret it.

I know I'm despicable for using any means necessary to drive away her suitors, but I had no choice. I needed her so much, like a fish needs water or the earth needs rain.

She always has a cold expression, but I think she's really adorable.

Qu Yi realized for the first time that she was associated with the word "cute".

[Host, let's go.]

"Um, this... can I take it with me?" She ran her fingers over the notebook.

No, that won't work.

【All right. 】

After putting the laptop in the safe, Qu Yi heard the system's voice.

[Leaving, about to enter the next world...]
