Zhuo Yuqing probably guessed that it was about this matter. When Tang Tianyou was mentioned, she couldn't help but think of the last time she saw him, his dejected and dispirited appearance.
He had stayed by Gu Qili's side for so many years without asking for anything in return, always playing the role of friend and protector. Now, he could finally retire, but he wouldn't feel relieved. For him, this was just the beginning of an endless loneliness.
He once told her: If we fall in love, I'll be with you until the end; if we're not meant to be, I'll ensure you are safe and sound.
Zhuo Yuqing felt pity for him, but she clearly knew, she even constantly urged him to find someone suitable for him, yet his stubbornness left her helpless.
"Qili, my brother won't give up until he's at the end of his rope, so you better tell him."
"Okay, I'll call him now," Gu Qili sighed, "Yuqing, if you have time, also try to persuade him."
