You are the sweetness of my time

Chapter 172 I promise you

It's just that this kind of thing is nothing to him, but he will not take the initiative to intervene.

But looking at her lifeless look, I felt distressed for no reason.

She still didn't say a word.

His cold and stiff body just lay motionless in his arms.

Ye Shixuan didn't force her, he hugged her gently, and waited quietly, feeling a little worried in his heart.

He would rather she cry a lot, make a fuss, or whatever, as long as she can have some normal reaction.

But she was so quiet that people felt abnormal.

Gu Ruoyi's death hit her beyond imagination.

She didn't even shed a single tear.

He stood motionless in the same posture, and he didn't know how long it had passed.The person in his arms finally moved.

He lowered his head and softly called her name, "Nianchen, are you okay?"

She raised her head slowly.

On his pale and frightening face, his eyes were surprisingly big, and his dark pupils stared at him fixedly. The dim light in his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of dark gems, and they no longer had any dazzling luster.

"You said you wanted to help me find the murderer?"

The moment she spoke, Ye Shixuan was secretly taken aback.

her voice...

Is this still Gu Nianchen's voice?

It was hoarse and rough like the voice of an old man who was almost seven or eighty years old.

Old and feeble.

He looked at her with complicated eyes and nodded, "Your sister won't just die for no apparent reason. No matter how long it takes, I will definitely find the murderer."

"Shixuan, can you promise me that what you just said will be done?"

Ye Shixuan couldn't tell what kind of feeling he felt in his heart.

This is not the first time Gu Nianchen called him that.

During the six months of their marriage, she always called him by his name in front of others.

But both of them knew in their hearts that the love outside was just a play on the occasion.

In private, she called him by first and last name, but after the divorce, she called him Young Master Ye who was even more distant from him.

The sound of Shixuan gave him a strange feeling in his heart.

"I assure you, Nianchen, you have to trust me." After hesitating for a moment, he took her cold hand and held it tightly in his palm.

Gu Nianchen didn't break free.

She let him hold her hand very docilely. After receiving his assurance, a strange smile appeared on her lips, and such a strange smile appeared in her empty eyes. She stared deeply at Ye Shixuan, and her voice was exceptional Calmly, "Okay, then I'm relieved."

Ye Shixuan frowned, and put her soft and boneless little hand into the other, "Nianchen, besides this, what else can I do for you?"

He likes to see her smile.

But it's not the same smile as it is now.

Her smile should be full of sunshine and vitality, which can infect everyone who comes into contact with her.

When he thought that he could never see such a smile on her face and eyes again, he felt that what he had done was not enough.

"enough."

"As long as the murderer can be found to pay for my sister's life, that's enough."

Until now, she was still unwilling to accept the fact that Gu Ruoyi had left.

When mentioning this family matter, she closed her eyes in pain, with a sad expression on her face.

The excruciating pain hit his whole body, as if his chest had been cut open with a sharp weapon, he couldn't die, but the pain was so painful that he couldn't breathe.
-
"Yunjie, you don't have to follow me these few days." Leaving the apartment, Ye Shixuan was still a little worried.
