Gu Mian was kneeling on the ground. She felt a chill all over her body and was shivering like a fallen leaf in the wind.
Tang Zui gazed at the photograph of the girl on the headstone with a painful look in his eyes. ‘Little Ning, I should’ve killed this woman for taking your life…’
Yet, for some reason, he could not do it. Worse still, when he saw the helpless, hopeless look in Gu Mian’s eyes, his heart ached terribly, as though it had split into half. ‘Little Ning, tell me why this is happening…’
“Gu Mian, tell Little Ning that you’re sorry!” Tang Zui ordered in a steely voice.
Hearing that, Gu Mian became agitated and stood up suddenly. She took a few steps backwards. Tang Zui came over and tried to grab her, but Gu Mian suddenly screamed, “Don’t come near me!”
Tang Zui noticed that Gu Mian was shivering and was seemingly on the brink of a meltdown. He furrowed his eyebrows and stopped in his tracks.
“Who is she? Why do I need to say sorry to her? Tang Zui, you’re a complete psycho!” Gu Mian said. She turned and started running. She did not want to stay in that place anymore.
“Gu Mian, stop right there!”
Tang Zui watched as Gu Mian disappeared into the darkness ahead. He immediately became sober. Without hesitation, he immediately chased after her. Tang Ning’s headstone was at the edge of the cemetery. There was only wilderness beyond it. The mountain was dangerous. Reportedly, beasts were seen roaming the forest.
Gu Mian would not stop running. She had had enough of Tang Zui. He was forcing her to kneel before the headstone of a person she had never met before. He even asked her to apologize. She had not done anything wrong, so why would she need to say sorry to anyone?
There were brambles everywhere in the mountain. Gu Mian sensed that the thorns had pierced and cut her legs, but she could no longer feel any pain. All she could think about was how to escape!
Tang Zui had no choice but to run after her.
“Gu Mian, stop running! If I catch you, I won’t show you mercy!” Tang Zui was so anxious that he delivered a threat, hoping that she would listen to him.
But when Gu Mian heard what he said, she ran even faster.
Tang Zui saw her figure vanish in the distance and started panicking.
Gu Mian was running at full speed. When she suddenly stepped on a branch, she let out a scream. She lost balance and stumbled down the hill. Just as Gu Mian thought she was done for, Tang Zui put his arms around her and held her in his arms. The two of them then rolled down the hill together.
When they landed, Tang Zui’s head collided with a rock. But he did not bother to check his own injury. He quickly looked down at the young woman in his arms. “Gu Mian, are you alright?”
Gu Mian was in his arms the entire time, so she did not suffer from serious injuries. She pushed him away and wanted to keep running. Tang Zui knew what she was up to and put his arms around her again.
“Let go of me!” Gu Mian tried to shove him away with all her might. Tang Zui held her tight and refused to let go.
However, Tang Zui did not have much energy to spare. The injury on his head was quite serious. Still, he was relieved that he was the one who got injured instead of her.
When Gu Mian was about to struggle free, she suddenly heard a wolf howl.
Gu Mian was so terrified that the color drained from her face. She hugged the man in front of her tightly almost immediately. It must have been her survival instincts that compelled her to do so.
Seeing that she had stopped struggling, Tang Zui let out a sigh of relief. The wolf was still howling in the distance. Frightened, Gu Mian kept burying her head in Tang Zui’s arms. Tang Zui suddenly patted her on the back.
“Let go of me.”
“There are… There are wolves here!” Gu Mian wanted to let go, but her hands refused to loosen their grips.
“We can only get up and leave once you let go. Do you want to lie here with me and wait for the wolves to come and eat us?”
Hearing that, Gu Mian immediately loosened her grip on him. After Tang Zui got up, he pulled her up. Holding her by the hand, he took her back to the cemetery.
Gu Mian let out a faint moan. It was barely audible, but Tang Zui heard it. He asked anxiously, “Are you hurt? Where is the wound?”
