Chapter 123: Miaomiao, I’m Sorry
Xie Miaohan put the things he bought into the refrigerator. Just then, the phone in his pocket vibrated.
His expression changed slightly, thinking Gu Huaiye had sent him a message. He curled his lips, put down the things in his hands, and hurriedly took out his phone.
After seeing the content on the screen clearly, Xie Miaohan’s gaze turned sinister.
It wasn’t a message from Gu Huaiye, but a bank transfer notification.
Gu Huaiye had transferred two hundred thousand yuan to him.
Xie Miaohan gripped the phone tightly and couldn’t help but let out a laugh, tears floating in his eyes.
What was this?
Did he want to use money to get rid of him completely, just to ease his own guilt?
Xie Miaohan truly couldn’t bear it anymore; even breathing was painful.
With trembling fingers, he dialed Gu Huaiye’s number. At first, no one answered, so he called a second time, a third time…
Finally, on the tenth call, Gu Huaiye picked up.
Because his emotions were too agitated, he failed to notice the exhaustion and weakness in the other’s voice.
“Brother, what exactly do you mean by giving me two hundred thousand?” Xie Miaohan curled his lips, yet his eyes held no mirth. “What? Do you feel that abandoning me is too hard on your conscience, so you’re using a sum of money to send me away?”
“What exactly do you take me for? Why do you always treat me like this? You clearly promised me you wouldn’t abandon me like my parents did, but what are you doing now! Must you be so heartless?”
Gu Huaiye listened quietly until the end, then said in a hoarse voice, ” Although this sum isn’t much, it can support you until you graduate from university. I have done my best to take care of you. You have to walk the road ahead by yourself. Live well and forget me.”
“I can’t do it.” Xie Miaohan squatted down, covering his face as he cried and spoke, “Brother, give me one last chance. Whatever you want me to become, I’m willing to change.”
“Don’t leave me, okay? I won’t stop you from going abroad. You can leave for as many years as you want. But don’t cut me off completely like this. I promise you I will never appear in front of you; just call or text me occasionally, okay?”
“Are you blaming me? For those four years you were away, I ignored your calls and messages out of spite. I’m sorry, I was wrong. I promise I won’t do that again.”
Gu Huaiye sighed. “Don’t cry. I never blamed you.”
Xie Miaohan clutched his chest, his shoulders trembling uncontrollably, his emotions nearly out of control.
“Since you don’t blame me, why must you leave? Really, don’t do this to me, I beg you.”
Gu Huaiye’s breathing was heavy. After a long while, he said, “Miaomiao, just pretend I never appeared. Take good care of yourself and don’t try to find me.”
Xie Miaohan’s fingernails dug into his palms. He shook his head, wanting to say something more, but the phone emitted a ruthless beep.
Brother didn’t want him anymore.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Huaiye sat on the hospital bed in a daze for a long time.
After leaving the house, his heart had hurt terribly, and he had fainted on the street before being sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.
Now that he was awake, the doctor told him his heart was severely failing and conservative treatment was no longer an option.
The doctor advised him to cherish the time he had left, complete any regrets quickly, and spend time with important people.
Gu Huaiye thought for a long time. The only thing he hadn’t done was transfer all his money to Xie Miaohan.
Working as a translator on the battlefield paid quite well.
In just four years, not only had he paid off the loan, but he had also saved over two hundred thousand yuan.
He didn’t dare transfer a round number to Xie Miaohan, fearing it would arouse suspicion, so he transferred two hundred thousand to Xie Miaohan and kept a little over a thousand for himself.
Gu Huaiye left the hospital and had a meal nearby.
He ordered a lot of food at once and didn’t stop until he was too full to eat another bite.
Then he hailed a taxi and went to the nearest woods.
Gu Huaiye climbed for quite a while until his face began to turn pale and his body could hardly hold up. He found a clean spot and lay down.
He had finished his medicine and planned to wait for the next attack, then leave this place forever.
The winter sunlight shone through the leaves onto his face, casting dappled halos of light. It was warm and slightly itchy, making his face look less pale, as if wrapped in a gentle aura.
Bits and pieces of memories with Xie Miaohan flashed through his mind.
From his previous two lives, and from this one.
He always complained that Xie Miaohan treated him poorly and approached him with ulterior motives.
But after this transmigration, he finally realized that Xie Miaohan had truly loved him.
Perhaps because Xie Miaohan grew up in a lonely environment with low self-esteem and without the intervention of a psychologist, he was unwilling to express his true feelings.
Gu Huaiye closed his eyes, and tears slid down.
“Miaomiao, I’m sorry.”
“I miss you…” Gu Huaiye paused, choking up. “I love you…”
He didn’t know how much time had passed when the phone in his luggage bag rang incessantly.
Gu Huaiye opened his eyes, realizing he had forgotten to turn off his phone.
He sat up weakly, opened the luggage bag, and took out the phone.
The screen showed a call from Xie Miaohan.
Gu Huaiye pursed his lips and decided to turn it off directly.
But just then, the ringing stopped, and a message popped up.
[Brother, I’m going to sign up for the army tomorrow.]
Gu Huaiye’s pupils constricted, and he hurriedly dialed Xie Miaohan back.
Xie Miaohan picked up very quickly, his voice carrying the thrill of revenge.
“Brother, I know how to forget you now.” Xie Miaohan said with a curled lip, “I’m going to the army tomorrow. I won’t disturb you anymore.”
“Xie Miaohan, you are not allowed to go to the army.” Gu Huaiye spoke urgently, gritting his teeth. “It’s very dangerous there; you could lose your life at any moment. I know you are strong, but the enemies you face also include SSS-level Alphas, and they have guns. You will get hurt.”
“Of course I know it’s dangerous there. I don’t want to live anyway. Only when I die will I stop pestering you, and I won’t feel pain anymore.”
Xie Miaohan laughed lightly, his eyes filled with determined madness.
“I’m sorry to let you know such news before you leave, but you’ve abandoned me so many times; you should be punished a little, right?”
“Xie Miaohan!”
Gu Huaiye shouted. His heart immediately started to ache, and he clutched the clothes at his chest, using his breathing to alleviate the pain.
“Miaomiao, be a good boy. Listen to Brother, don’t go to the army, okay?”
“I’ve always listened to you, but you still abandoned me. In that case, why should I keep being an inauthentic version of myself?”
“Miaomiao, don’t make a decision you’ll regret just to punish me.”
Xie Miaohan was silent for a moment, then said, “I won’t regret it. Since you aren’t willing to stay by my side, you have no right to control me anymore. Brother, this is our last call. I won’t call you again.”
Gu Huaiye clenched his fist and hurriedly said, “Miaomiao, I’m not leaving. Don’t go to the army. Let’s meet and talk properly.”
“Are you going to trick me again?”
“It’s not a trick. I’m serious.”
Xie Miaohan pursed his lips, his voice softening.
“Okay, I’ll wait for you at home.”
After hanging up, Gu Huaiye got up quickly, ignoring his luggage, and headed back the way he came.
He didn’t have much time left, but the Gu Huaiye of this world still had plenty of time to accompany Xie Miaohan.
The current Xie Miaohan wasn’t like the one in the previous two lives; he would bravely speak his love. Perhaps this could avoid the tragedies of the past.
He wanted to tell Xie Miaohan.
The Young Master of the Gu family was spoiled, but not completely heartless.
As long as he was sure the other person loved him, he would be with them unreservedly. So, Xie Miaohan must have patience with that person and slowly teach him with love.
Halfway there, Gu Huaiye felt a stabbing pain in his heart and slowly collapsed.
He never got up again.
