We've been in a marriage of convenience for three years without sleeping together. Why am I goi

"I'm not sick." Gu Yizhi's face turned pale, and his brows were full of worry.

Lu Zhi still felt a lingering tremor in her heart.

As for what Gu Yizhi said, she didn't believe a single punctuation mark.

give up?

Arabian Nights.

In his past life, he was willing to give up his own life for Shen Luoyao.

She even had to choose between herself and Shen Luoyao.

While I was pondering this, the doctor arrived. "Mr. Gu, room 302, is there something else wrong with your health?"

Lu Zhi parted her lips slightly, preparing to answer, but someone spoke first.

"Yes, yes, get my son a brain CT scan quickly." Jiang Xing looked anxious and seemed to agree with those words.

Gu Yizhi frowned. "I'm not mentally ill."

Jiang Xing patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, son. Even if something bad happens, I'll spend all my money to get him treated."

Gu Yizhi frowned even more deeply, and slapped away the hand that was on his shoulder. "I'm really not sick, so don't overthink it."

"Don't avoid seeking medical help because you're sick."

"Besides, the Gu family is wealthy. If this hospital isn't good, we'll go to another one."

Jiang Xing voiced all her suggestions, which only made Gu Yizhi's face darken. "Are you trying to embarrass me?"

"You're not sick, what nonsense were you spouting?"

"That's because..." Gu Yizhi's eyes flashed with a hint of concern, and he hesitated before speaking, "Anyway, let's not talk about this for now. I want to talk to Lu Zhi alone."

"No way." Jiang Xing seemed to still remember what had just happened, looking wary. "Those two are too dangerous; they like to hit people."

Lu Zhi remained silent, watching the play.

It seems like it's almost done.

She said calmly, "Since there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

"Don't go."

"Please, I just want to talk to you alone for a bit." Gu Yizhi's eyes were bloodshot and filled with pain.

She had never seen Gu Yizhi so humble.

It's like being possessed.

My heart pounded, and I couldn't calm down for a long time until I loosened my grip on the hand I was holding.

Pei Yi's gentle voice rang in her ears, "Go if you want to."

Lu Zhi shook her head, "If we encounter danger later, I'll cause you more trouble."

After all, the wound on my wrist from when I was imprisoned and bound last time still aches faintly.

Once bitten by a snake, twice shy.

I don't want to take any more risks.

Moreover, Gu Yizhi is currently a patient. If he were to think that he couldn't live and wanted to take someone down with him, he would go crazy.

Hard to guard against.

Lu Zhi felt a chill run down her spine and instinctively gripped that hand even tighter.

Then a voice rang out, sounding both mocking and self-deprecating.

Lu Zhi looked in the direction of the sound.

Gu Yizhi lowered her eyes: "If you hate me, don't make up such lame excuses. What can a patient like me do?"

Men are vulnerable and sensitive; their eyes are always red.

It seems he was hurt.

Lu Zhi's eyelashes trembled, a pang of pity in her heart. "Just two minutes. If I don't come out by then, call the police, or..."

Pei Yi: "Then I'll stand guard outside the door."

"it is good."

She and Gu Yizhi entered the ward, and immediately smelled the disinfectant.

His brow furrowed slightly.

"To make a long story short, my boyfriend is still waiting for me."

"Zhizhi~"

Lu Zhi was momentarily stunned, having not heard that title in a long time, and looked up.

Gu Yizhi's dark eyes were filled with deep affection.

She had longed for that look a million times, only seeing it in her dreams or when she looked at Shen Luoyao.

Unfortunately, I no longer have any expectations.

After a few seconds of silence, Lu Zhi's expression returned to its indifferent state. "If it's just a matter of addressing someone, then forget it."

Gu Yizhi frowned slightly, his eyes wandering as if he were recalling something.

After organizing the language.

He slowly began to speak: "I had a dream. In the dream, you were very good to me, but I was very rude, and you were disappointed time and time again..."

As she recounted more, Lu Zhi's expression gradually changed.

This is……

They were talking about their past lives.

He must have awakened his memories like I have, which was probably triggered by a near-death experience or death.

Gu Yizhi slowly began, "You know, after you died, I was very sad and drank heavily every day, trying to find you again, but you were not here."

"I only have Shen Luoyao left. I'm going to mold her into your likeness, according to your figure when you were alive."

"She's not as tall as you, so I took her abroad and broke her leg to grow taller. Her eyesight is even weaker than yours, so I specifically hired a traditional opera teacher to train her in every movement..."

Lu Zhi frowned, growing impatient to listen any longer.

"If you came to me just to say this, then there's no need. How you treat her is your business."

She gave a slight smile. "After all, it has nothing to do with me, so don't label me as being sentimental."

"because……"

"You're just making me feel disgusted." Lu Zhi's lips moved slightly as she uttered hurtful words.

It was as if he had been holding back a breath and finally let it out.

Past and Present.

I've finally let it go, and my mood has improved a bit.

Gu Yizhi frowned even more deeply. "Do you know? No matter how much I try to embellish Shen Luoyao, she can't compare to you. I regret it."

"I saw many psychologists during those years."

"Now I understand why I like Shen Luoyao. It's because you two look alike. Since I was little, I've been discriminated against because of your wealthy family background. I've been called a live-in son-in-law or a 'phoenix man' because of you. I felt disgusted by it."

"That's why I've been suppressing my feelings."

At that moment, a ray of sunlight drifted in from the window. The sunlight was soft, and Lu Zhi looked at the pale man in the light.

It just felt like a joke in broad daylight.

Thinking of her past life, and the countless times she had been wronged without knowing why, Lu Zhi felt a dull ache in her heart.

Perhaps out of resentment, she still asked, "But you still saved Shen Luoyao on stage, didn't you?"

"That was..." Thinking of this, Gu Yizhi lowered his eyes, his face full of pain, "You were wearing similar clothes at the time, and I mistook her for you. I deserve to die."

"hehe."

"You don't believe me? Just give me a chance to start over..." Gu Yizhi stretched out his hand and began to swear, "I will definitely treat you very well, even better than Shen Luoyao."

"You really are something else," Lu Zhi sighed. "Not everything in this world can be done again."

"No, you don't understand." Gu Yizhi's heart clenched. "Your ability to be reborn is all thanks to my prayers and fervent pleas to the gods and Buddhas at the temple."

"Even death and resurrection are possible."

"Why can't we be together?"

Lu Zhi's expression turned even more unpleasant. "Thank you so much."

When she said this, her tone was indifferent, without any hint of gratitude, as if she were talking about everyday things.

Gu Yizhi: "Do you know what? I went to ask a Taoist priest, and he said that after you are reborn, you might not love me anymore."

"I don't believe it." Gu Yizhi's eyes reddened. "We have such a good relationship."

"That Taoist priest is quite right."

"No, how could a monk who has lived in a temple for so long understand the feelings of us ordinary people?"
