"Is Gu Sheng really that terrifying?" Tears uncontrollably welled up, sliding down her pale face and falling into the bowl of porridge in her hand.
Gu Yao couldn't help but recall the words Gu Li had spoken to her a few hours ago.
She expected these words to have no effect on the defensive Shangguan Yu at this moment, but unexpectedly, Shangguan Yu remained silent.
Shangguan Yu's silence gave Gu Yao a glimmer of hope.
"Shangguan Yu, I believe that I, Gu Yao, cannot misjudge someone, and even more so cannot love the wrong person. I also believe you are not a coward. You are a hero protecting your country, a hero to the whole nation; how could you not be a hero for just me? You're not afraid of death, how could you be afraid of Gu Sheng."
Saying this, Gu Yao reached out and touched Shangguan Yu's face. Her slightly cool fingertips lightly touched the corner of his eye, where tears had flowed for her just twenty minutes ago.
