Chapter 1954 - If A Glass of Water Turned Cold, It Really Turned Cold

The fresh yet intimidating scent made her eyes look irresistible to him.

“Should I be grateful? Should I be grateful that you brought me to see the sea and even bought the roads here? Gu Zhengrong, you really surprised me.”

Tang Xiaoyu smiled and looked at Gu Zhengrong with a hint of mockery in her eyes. This man had given her so many ‘surprises’ that she had almost forgotten that he was still in contact with her best friend behind her back. It was just a pity that Pei Ge already had someone she liked, but it was all Gu Zhengrong’s wishful thinking.

“Xiaoyu, can we talk about what you want me to do so that you can forgive me? How do you want me to beg you? Am I that ugly in your eyes?”

Gu Zhengrong was exasperated. He did not know how to explain all of this to Tang Xiaoyu. He also did not know if he was in the wrong for wanting to capture Tang Xiaoyu.

But loving someone meant wanting to be with her. You would only be happy when you see her happy. You had to accompany her to see what she wanted to see and eat what she wanted to eat. Wasn’t all of this supposed to be simple? Why did it become so difficult for Gu Zhengrong? It was even harder than going to the moon.

“Gu Zhengrong, you didn’t do anything wrong. You were wrong for not cherishing me back then. If a glass of water turned cold, it really turned cold. Even if you put it in the microwave to heat it up and let it be exposed to the sun, it might heat up again, but it is no longer the same as before.”

Tang Xiaoyu paused for a moment before continuing, “I, Tang Xiaoyu, am this cup of water. I am the cup of water that you have never cherished, so you don’t have to care about me like this. You don’t have to beg for my forgiveness in this way because in my heart, you are not the you from back then and you are not the you I want to know. I admit that I loved you before. I admit that I loved you deeply, so deeply that I thought I would not be able to live without you, but when I really didn’t have you, I realized that I could live happily and comfortably without you.”

Tang Xiaoyu had clearly said all the good things and bad things about him, but in Gu Zhengrong’s eyes, Tang Xiaoyu was hiding from the fact that she still loved him and their past.

“Xiaoyu, you don’t understand. In my heart, you are no longer the you from back then. In my heart, you are an irreplaceable person. No one can replace your position. Xiaoyu, do you know? When you left me, I was wondering if I could still live on, but when you were really not around, I realized that I, Gu Zhengrong, have never had such strong feelings in my life. It turns out that you have always been in my heart. I always thought that the person I love is Pei Ge and that you are just a decoration beside her. Unfortunately, when I finally understood everything, you were no longer by my side. You have already left me for so long.”

As Gu Zhengrong spoke, he walked toward Tang Xiaoyu. Seeing the tears in her eyes swaying slightly in the sea breeze and his silhouette becoming more and more obvious in her eyes, Gu Zhengrong’s heart seemed to come alive. As long as this woman was by his side, he might really consider buying the sea.

As long as Tang Xiaoyu was willing, it did not matter how much he spent. As long as Tang Xiaoyu was willing, Gu Zhengrong was willing to do everything.

Tang Xiaoyu watched as Gu Zhengrong got closer and closer until he was about a meter away from her. The two of them fell into silence and could only see each other sighing. The long sea breeze seemed to pull their thoughts further and further away before Tang Xiaoyu finally broke the silence.

“Give up. I’m no longer the same person as I was back then, and it’s impossible between us.”

She mustered her courage to reply to him.

“Xiaoyu, it doesn’t matter if you were a foolish person or not. It’s fine as long as I am. As long as you give me a chance and let me make it up to you, it’s fine. Don’t you want to be the second Pei Ge in this Chinese street? I can help you. I can teach you many things that you still can’t fully grasp. You still have me, and my heart which is willing to be kind to you.”

Gu Zhengrong wanted Tang Xiaoyu to fall for him as much as before, so he had planned to pull her out today.

This woman did not think much of him in the past, but once she was no longer by his side, he realized that he had fallen into the abyss of love. What was even more pitiful was that there was no one else in this world other than Tang Xiaoyu who could take care of him.

No one could replace her in his heart.

There were two ways to cool a cup of water. One was to heat it up in the eyes of others, and the other was to warm it up with one’s heart.

Gu Zhengrong chose the latter. As long as Tang Xiaoyu was willing to turn back, he could really give up on everything and give up everything.

However, whether Tang Xiaoyu was willing or not was her business. It had nothing to do with Gu Zhengrong or anyone else.

“Give up. I’m being serious. There’s no longer any possibility between us. You don’t have to compromise. There’s really no need for that. I know very well what kind of person you are. You don’t even know what kind of person I am right now. How can you promise to give me everything I want? You’re just making fun of me.”

Tang Xiaoyu turned around. She could already see Gu Zhengrong’s eyes clearly. This man’s eyes had a special quality that could attract her and make her forget all thoughts. As long as she could be with him, she seemed willing to give up everything.

Unfortunately, all of these were what only the past Tang Xiaoyu would do.

The wind had turned cold, but the waves on the beach were still surging without caring about the couple’s emotions. They rushed and surged and did not separate for long.
