Yan Shuo asked him if he still hated her or blamed her when he saw Gu Yan again. He once did.
But before seeing her, before knowing she was still alive, during these long and painful five years, how could he not have resented her?
Clearly, they had agreed—she asked him to wait, to wait for her to explain things to Yan Shuo and her family, to win a chance in front of them, and then return to his side.
He was willing to wait as long as she could come back to him, no matter how long it took.
But after giving him hope, she suddenly gave him devastating despair, which he could not bear.
How much he resented her! How could she break her promise and leave him to suffer alone in this world?
Yet, he never knew that while he resented her, she was struggling so bitterly!
He was oblivious, wallowing in despair, while she was at her most difficult and lingering on the edge of life and death.
