Chapter 1368: Is Zhou Tianyu Going Overseas?
Wen Xinya drove to a bar and pulled up by the entrance, only to see that Gu Junling was seated by the roadside, clad in a white shirt and holding a bottle of wine in his hand. He would chug some alcohol every now and then while the alcohol trickled down his chin and neck. His shirt was unbuttoned all the way to his stomach, revealing his muscular chest and abs. His usually neat hair was messy and unkempt, with some long strands pressing against his forehead.
Wen Xinya stared at his glassy eyes and flushed face, feeling extremely sorry for him. She slowly walked towards Gu Junling, who appeared rather upset and morose.
Gu Junling hung his head low and sipped on his alcohol as if he did not discover her presence.
Zhou Tianyu was the only one who could make the jovial and bubbly Gu Junling so upset.
Gu Junling tilted his head backwards and drank some wine, only to realize that the bottle was empty.
Gu Junling shrieked like an injured beast as he smashed the bottle onto the ground while his voice echoed in the air. The glass shattered like his heart.
Wen Xinya stared at the glass shards that darted around the place while an uneasy feeling filled her heart. “Little Eunuch Gu, what happened?”
“Zhou Tianyu that heartless bitch. How could she do that to me? How could she...” Gu Junling got up from the ground on an unsteady gait and swayed unsteadily from side to side while yelling at the top of his voice.
Gu Junling fell onto the ground and cupped his face while sobbing. “Did I ever let you down? What wrong did I do...”
Wen Xinya asked miserably, “What happened between you and Tianyu?”
“Wen Xinya, did you know? That heartless Zhou Tianyu lied to me...” Gu Junling screeched in a hoarse voice, sounding extremely agonized.
It was as if the strong liquor could not relieve his pain at all. All he felt was a burning sensation in his organs, followed by... excruciating pain.
“Is there... a misunderstanding between you guys?” Wen Xinya asked, unsure of how she should comfort Gu Junling. Staring at him suffer because of his relationship, she felt extremely terrible.
Gu Junling barked angrily. “The Zhou Family has already begun making preparations to send her to England for her to further her studies. I would have still been kept in the dark if I didn’t know someone from the National Security Bureau.”
When he found out about the truth, he felt as if the world had come crashing down on him. He proceeded to question her like a madman. However, she did not bother meeting him at all. Instead, she called him to tell him the truth. Thus, he couldn’t vent his anger.
After venting his anger, Gu Junling was like a deflated balloon. He wept and thumped himself onto the ground before lamenting. “Wen Xinya, you didn’t expect this either, did you? The bubbly Zhou Tianyu actually hid all of these from us. I thought I knew her well enough after knowing her and fancying her for more than a decade. Yet, I don’t know her at all.”
Wen Xinya was speechless. Zhou Tianyu was actually going abroad to further her studies.
In her previous lifetime, Zhou Tianyu clearly became an outstanding diplomat. However, in this lifetime, she was going abroad to further her studies. Wen Xinya’s rebirth had altered the destinies of so many people.
Gu Junling sobbed and said, “Xinya, do you know how happy I was that Tianyu could reciprocate my feelings for her? I was so glad. I worked till twelve midnight everyday in hopes of becoming stronger. I wanted to become like Ninth Si and protect the woman I love. I chase her around every day like a fool and one smile of hers is enough to keep me happy for days. Yet, Tianyu is going overseas to pursue an education. What am I to her, what am I...”
Wen Xinya said in a shaky voice, “Did Tianyu insist on going overseas despite being well aware of your feelings?”
Have things become this serious that Tianyu has to leave Capital city at all costs and avoid Gu Junling?
Gu Junling said self-deprecatingly, “I asked her for the reason for her decision and she said... that it was an arrangement made by the Zhou Family and that she wanted to do that too. We managed to win the revolution after four years of war and yet, I couldn’t even get to be with her after having a crush on her for 16 years... God knows how indignant I feel.”
But so what? None of his pleas could change her mind.
“Did you communicate with Tianyu about this?” Wen Xinya asked as her mind was sent into a frenzy. All of a sudden, she felt helpless as she had no idea how she could help the two of them. Since Tianyu is handling the procedures for her passport, she should be leaving soon. I don’t have much time left.
“She doesn’t wish to see me at all. She wouldn’t even answer my calls. I really don’t know what to do,” said Gu Junling, who buried his face in his hands. He was filled with agony and pain.
Unsure of how she should comfort him, Wen Xinya said, “Maybe Tianyu has her own difficulties.”
Wen Xinya had no idea how she should tell him about the conjectures she had about Zhou Tianyu, because Gu Junling and Zhou Tianyu were both her friends. Besides, she had no idea why Zhou Tianyu decided to leave. She was very worried that the matter would threaten Gu Junling’s life.
“Difficulties... why can’t she tell me about them? I’ll shoulder the burden with her no matter what. Why is she alienating me like that? Xinya... I’m a man. I can swallow all my pride to love her but... I’ll never put my dignity down to beg.”
Because he had never wanted to beg for a relationship.
He would rather die than be in a relationship with someone who accepted him out of sympathy.
Wen Xinya patted his shoulder and said, “Don’t get too anxious. I’ll try to talk to Tianyu around for you. I must find out why she wants to leave the country.”
Wen Xinya felt that she could not continue to sit back and do nothing. She had to chat with Zhou Tianyu.
