Chapter 509: Together in Life and DeathThe moment the sharp blade touched her wrist, she seemed to have thought about something. She got up from the bed hurriedly and packed a luggage simply.

She wrote a note on the table, before she left the hotel.

When Qiao Yanze came to bring her food the next day, she was already gone.

His first reaction was to look for her everywhere.

Just as he was ready to make a call, he saw the note she had left.

“Mr. Qiao, thank you for taking care of me and helping me in the past few days. However, please let me leave with dignity. I’m leaving, please don’t try to find me.”

Nan Zhi went to where her maternal grandparents were buried and stayed in the house that Auntie He used to stay in.

After she found snakes in the house that time, there was a period where she did not dare come here again. However, she was about to die now, and was no longer afraid of anything.

Her body became older by the day, and she started taking longer and longer to reach her grandparents’ tombs everyday.

She started to sleep a lot more, and she would even take a nap sitting in front of the tombs sometimes.

Today, she went to her grandparents’ tombs as usual after having breakfast.

She talked to herself, facing the two tombstones.

When she talked about her Xiaojie, her dull eyes would sparkle slightly, and when she talked about Mu Sihan, she would still wish him the best even though she was a little sad.

She was not a saint, nor was she that big-hearted. She only knew clearly about her identity and her circumstances.

What was the point of forcing something that would never have an end?

“Grandpa, grandma, I’ll come to accompany you soon, and Uncle too…”

She said a lot, before falling asleep in front of the tombstones again. When she woke up, it was already night time.

She dragged her weak body down the mountain.

However, she took a few steps before she realized something was wrong.

It felt like there was a pair of eyes staring at her in the darkness.

She turned around and looked around, though she did not see anyone.

If it was in the past, she would definitely be scared. However, she was really calm right now.

She took a few more steps, the feeling of being stared at growing stronger with each step.

“W-Who’s there?”

The leaves from not too far away moved, and Nan Zhi slowly clenched her hands.

A tall, white figure walked slowly out from the darkness.

At first glance, the person really looked like the grim reaper from hell, who had come to take her life.

Nan Zhi shook unstably. She closed her eyes, her eyelashes fluttering as she muttered hoarsely, “It’s good that this day come earlier.”

She took a deep breath, getting ready to see Hades.

Light footsteps rung out, and she heard the man walk towards her.

The man stopped in front of her a few seconds later.

Although she did not open her eyes, Nan Zhi could feel his eyes on her. She pursed her pale lips tightly, “If you’re taking me away, please do it quick!”

One second, two seconds, a minute passed…

Nan Zhi did not feel her soul being separated from her body, and she opened her eyes quickly. Her eyes constricted when she saw who was standing in front of her.

It was not grim reaper, but Gu Sheng.

She did not know what Gu Sheng had went through this period to lose so much weight.

However, he was still handsome and elegant, his eyes on her still as gentle as before.

Nan Zhi turned her head, not wanting to see him and not wanting him to see her current face.

Did he not cause her to become like this?

He kidnapped her, imprisoned her and gave her such a lethal poison that made her like this. How did he dare to appear in front of her now?

The two of them met at the most beautiful time of their youth, and she had treated him as one of the most important people in her life.

She trusted him completely.

She did not suspect him at all, even after she was kidnapped.

His actions stabbed her ruthlessly in the heart without a doubt!

Nan Zhi’s tightly pursed lips were trembling terribly from her emotions. She did not want to talk to him, as she turned to leave.

However, she walked too quickly, and her already weak body fell hard.

She was sprawled on the floor, unable to stand up for a long time.

Gu Sheng walked in front of Nan Zhi, stretching his long arms to carry her.

Nan Zhi struggled instinctively, her red eyes filled with hatred, “How do you still dare to do this? Let go of me!”

Gu Sheng furrowed his eyebrows tightly, hearing her horribly hoarse voice.

He looked down at the woman in his arms. His expression darkened even more as he chided coldly, “Shut up, if not I’ll kill you now.”

Nan Zhi scoffed, “With me like that now, what’s the difference from dying?”

Gu Sheng pursed his lips, not speaking anymore. She did not see the flash of pain and regret in his eyes in the dark night.

Nan Zhi was as weak as a newborn chick now, and could not struggle against him at all.

She ended up giving up in the end.

With her weak and spoiled body, and ugly face, what could he do to her still?

He could do anything he wanted, even killing her or chopping her up.

Gu Sheng stared at Nan Zhi, who had her eyes closed and an ashen expression, as if she was just waiting for her death. His heart felt like it had been stabbed by a sharp knife.

It was his fault. He was the one who caused her to become like this.

She was such a beautiful flower, yet she looked like she withering away now.

His lips moved, saying silently, “Sorry.”

Gu Sheng carried Nan Zhi down the mountain and to the house where he was once bitten by the poisonous snake.

Gu Sheng placed her on the bed before he took out a black silken cloth.

Nan Zhi’s fingers tightened at his action, “If you still have a bit of humanity left in you, just kill me straight away!”

Gu Sheng bent down, covering her eyes, before he took a shirt and tore it into long pieces to tie her thin wrists that were trashing about together.

“Gu Sheng, you’re becoming more psychotic! I’ve already become like this. When are you going to stop torturing me? I don’t have many days left to live anymore, why are you doing this?”

Nan Zhi really regretted it now, regretting that she did not end her own life early. She did not want to experience such torture and humiliation even when she was about to die.

She could not see, while her hands had been tied together. She felt like a lamb that was awaiting its slaughter, and she had no way to struggle against anything.

Gu Sheng, who was standing next to the bed, raised the sleeves of his white shirt. His gentle eyes stared at Nan Zhi’s thin figure. He took out a sharp dagger and slit his arm with strength.

Red blood gushed out from the cut.

He collected the blood in a small bowl, until the bowl was filled.

Nan Zhi could not see, so her hearing became more sensitive. Her eyelashes fluttered when she heard a sound similar to a sharp weapon cutting into skin.

What was Gu Sheng doing?

Did he cut himself?

Just as Nan Zhi was very confused, Gu Sheng sat on the bed, one of his hands holding onto her shoulders while the other brought the bowl to her lips.
