Lu Sangjiu was absolutely resolute. Gu Jue wanted to say more, but when he met her determined gaze, he ultimately swallowed his words.
"...I'm sorry. I just wanted to do something for you."
"From the beginning until now, I've always said I would help you, but when it comes down to it, I haven't actually been able to do anything for you."
Lu Sangjiu was taken aback, then genuinely confused. "Why would you think that? You've helped me so much along the way, Mr. Gu."
"Besides..." She smiled. "And for all my childish antics in the past, when I deliberately used you to provoke Ye Zhiyao, you never once blamed me. In fact, you often played along with my nonsense."
"In my heart, Mr. Gu, you've always been a very, very good friend who has helped me and put up with me."
"If anything, I'm the one who owes you a great deal. How could I let you sacrifice yourself to save me?"
