"I said, I can't." Chu Xuan repeated, his tone becoming firm.
He silently released his hold on Gu Haitang, but Haitang hugged him tightly, "Chu Xuan!"
She started crying again, her voice filled with great fear and unease, "Don't, don't leave me again, don't abandon me."
"I can do anything, change anything, you can tell me if you're dissatisfied with me."
Gu Haitang loved humbly; she had never imagined before that loving someone could be so painful. The ten years apart from Chu Xuan were a dim, colorless decade for her, sometimes even feeling like she was living just for the sake of living.
If not for holding on to the hope of resolving misunderstandings and reconciling, she couldn't have persisted until today.
Seeing the misunderstanding finally resolved, and Chu Xuan even apologized to her, Gu Haitang was very joyful at one point, thinking they could return to the intimate days of the past.
