Gu Hecheng's heart ached as he helped Shen Qianqian up. He held her shoulders tightly and supported her.
Shen Qianqian's eyes seemed to have lost their spirit. After a while, she seemed to come back to life. She remembered and complained, "Gu Hecheng, okay. Now that you know, I'll tell you."
Shen Qianqian pushed his hand away with a look of hatred on her face. She moved closer to the wall and put some distance between them.
"Haven't you always wanted to know why I hid Xiao Kong from you?" Shen Qianqian's expression was almost sad and desperate. She looked at Gu Hecheng with a cold smile. "Do you only remember how heartless I am to you now? But don't you remember how you treated me when I said I was pregnant? "
Gu Hecheng frowned slightly. He looked at Shen Qianqian, whose eyes were full of scars, and tried to search for memories related to the child in his mind.
Gu Hecheng seemed to have swum in the dark sea for a long time. Finally, he saw a faint light. He remembered that Shen Qianqian did mention it to him twice. However, his reaction at that time was indeed …
At that time, he was still immersed in the grief of being forced to get married and Lin Jinya's death. He did reject her. However, except for one time when he was drunk, the other time, he thought she was lying to him, so …
Thinking of this, Gu Hecheng's heart throbbed violently.
In this way, he was indeed the cause of Shen Qianqian's pain.
Gu Hecheng's heart throbbed violently. His body trembled slightly. He wanted to reach out and touch Shen Qianqian, but he didn't dare to.
"Do you remember now?" Shen Qianqian looked at Gu Hecheng with hatred. She wiped the tears from her face and said, "Since you know now, do you still want to get Xiao Kong back?"
"I will never forgive you for what you did to me. You will never get Xiao Kong back." Shen Qianqian looked at him coldly. "Since you've already investigated clearly, what right do you have to take away my cousin's child?"
"Xiao Kong … Where did Xiao Kong live in the past few years?" Gu Hecheng felt like a stone was stuck in his chest. He felt so heavy that he couldn't breathe.
"Hmph," Shen Qianqian sneered. "Why do you care about Xiao Kong now?"
"You want to know, right? Let me tell you. I want you to feel guilty for the rest of your life." Shen Qianqian said, "In order to prevent you from hurting Xiao Kong, I raised Xiao Kong in the temple on the mountain. What do you think? Don't you think it's incredible that a child who didn't have parents by his side and who didn't have any sense of security found such an old man?"
"Qianqian …" Gu Hecheng's voice started to tremble. He couldn't believe that Shen Qianqian and Xiao Kong had actually lived like this for the past five years. Although he had been kept in the dark, he couldn't believe that this was how Shen Qianqian and Xiao Kong had lived.
Gu Hecheng's heart was already broken. He looked at Shen Qianqian with regret. If kneeling down could make Shen Qianqian forgive him and let go of the knot in her heart, he was willing to do it. But he knew Shen Qianqian's thoughts very well. He knew that she would never agree to it.
Shen Qianqian stood up with tears on her face. She looked down at Gu Hecheng with alienation and indifference. She said coldly, "Now you know everything that you should know. How do you feel?"
"I didn't want to say it at first. I just wanted to keep it a secret. But since you want to reveal it, you have to be prepared to regret it for the rest of your life."
Shen Qianqian felt that she had said most of what she wanted to say. So she turned to leave. But the moment she took a step, Gu Hecheng suddenly stood up and blocked Shen Qianqian's back. He said firmly, "I won't regret it."
Gu Hecheng's words made Shen Qianqian freeze. She felt a chill from her toes to her hair.
Sure enough …
"I won't do anything that I will regret," Gu Hecheng said firmly as he looked at Shen Qianqian's back. "Didn't I say that I like you?"
"I meant what I said. Even now, I still mean it." Gu Hecheng's voice trembled slightly. "I know that I let you down in the past. But now that I know that Xiao Kong is my child, I won't turn a blind eye to it. I will give my all and work a hundred times harder than before. I will never waver again."
"You don't need to!" Shen Qianqian was stunned by Gu Hecheng's words for a few seconds. But when she heard him mention Xiao Kong, she immediately turned around nervously and interrupted him sternly. "Don't go near Xiao Kong. If you steal Xiao Kong again, I promise that I will never forgive you for the rest of my life."
Shen Qianqian looked at Gu Hecheng. Her gaze was like a sharp knife stabbing straight into his chest. But even so, Gu Hecheng still endured the pain in his heart. He tugged at the corner of his mouth and revealed a gentle and doting smile. "Don't worry. Since I said that I will let you see my true feelings, I won't make things difficult for you anymore."
"I won't force you. I won't steal Xiao Kong to force you to submit …" Gu Hecheng's expression did not change even when he was faced with Shen Qianqian, who wanted to tear him apart. "But you can't stop me. I will use my methods to do something for you and Xiao Kong."
"Do you know that you are a scoundrel?"
"Yes, so be it!" Gu Hecheng smiled slightly and interrupted Shen Qianqian. His gaze was still firm as he said, "I was a bastard before. This time, I will be a scoundrel. As long as I can make you and Xiao Kong happy, it's fine."
After Gu Hecheng finished speaking, he suddenly walked slowly towards Shen Qianqian before she could react. His movements were gentle and slow as he held Shen Qianqian in his arms.
Shen Qianqian, who reacted belatedly, realized that his movements were really gentle and soft. But she still began to struggle and push him with all her might.
"Yes, I know you have resentment in your heart. If you want to vent it, you can vent it on me." Gu Hecheng suddenly revealed a faint smile. "This time, no matter what, I won't let go easily. I will melt the ice in your heart. It was caused by me. No matter what the consequences are, I will bear the consequences."
"You bear the consequences? What right do you have? Just because I like you? I already told you that I don't like you. " Shen Qianqian knew that her actions were completely useless, but she still hit Gu Hecheng with all her might.
"No, just because I love you now and will love you in the future." Gu Hecheng felt Shen Qianqian's movements pause. He buried his head in her neck and said softly, "A person's heart can be moved, right?"
"So you are moved by my unconditional devotion to you in the past and say that you like me?" Shen Qianqian simply gave up struggling, but her words were still full of sarcasm.
"No." Gu Hecheng closed his eyes. He had really thought about this question carefully. In fact, he didn't know when exactly he fell in love with Shen Qianqian.
He would worry about her, miss her, and only have her in his mind at all times.
But when he found out, she was no longer by his side. He liked her no matter what she did. But every time Shen Qianqian treated him coldly, he would miss her in the past, the one who was willing to let him get close to her.
Shen Qianqian frowned. She realized that Gu Hecheng, who was on her shoulder, didn't move. She immediately reacted and pushed Gu Hecheng away. She took a few steps back and picked up the sunglasses and hat on the ground. She warned, "I'll say it again. Don't go near Xiao Kong!"
Shen Qianqian said and stumbled away. Behind her, Gu Hecheng picked up the test results scattered on the ground and carefully put them away.
"Qianqian, where did you go?" Shen Qianqian stumbled all the way out and sat on the quiet stairs for a while. Then, she returned to the stadium in a daze. Mother Liu, who turned around and saw that Shen Qianqian wasn't there, immediately walked over from the edge of the stands. "Qianqian, what happened? Why do you look so pale?"
As Mother Liu spoke, she glanced behind Shen Qianqian, but she didn't see anyone strange. She turned back to look at Shen Qianqian worriedly.
Shen Qianqian frowned and said weakly, "It's nothing."
"Are you okay?" Mother Liu saw that Shen Qianqian was so weak that she couldn't stand properly. She knew that something must have happened to her, but it seemed that she hadn't recovered yet. Mother Liu quickly held her hand and sat down.
"Wait for me here. I'll buy you some water."
"No need …" Shen Qianqian stretched out her hand weakly. She realized that Mother Liu had already run away.
Shen Qianqian looked up and saw that the game had ended. Xiao Kong had just come down from the sidelines. However, he was sensible enough not to come over. Instead, he smiled Xiao Qianqian from afar.
Shen Qianqian looked at Xiao Kong's smile from afar. She felt a little sad, but she still had a bright smile on her face.
Mother Liu quickly came over with bread, chocolate, and water. She sat beside Shen Qianqian and handed her the food.
"Thank you," Shen Qianqian finally took the food and ate a little. She slowly calmed down.
"Did we win the game?" Shen Qianqian looked in the direction of Xiao Kong and asked Mother Liu softly.
"Yes, of course we won. There will be an award ceremony later," Mother Liu said excitedly.
"Okay, we'll go back after the award ceremony." Shen Qianqian stood up weakly. However, her feet were unstable. Mother Liu hurriedly supported her and said, "Why don't you go back to the car first? The award ceremony will be very crowded. It won't be good if you're discovered."
Shen Qianqian thought about it. It made sense. Besides, she was really tired. She could only say to Mother Liu, "Then you must help me record it."
"Okay." Mother Liu nodded. She watched her leave. Then she turned around and waved at Xiao Kong. Then she ran to Xiao Kong's side.
