On the day of the blind date, I got my certificate from the paranoid richest man.

Because of Du Shengsheng's care, five of the fifteen poppy seeds planted by Gu Yanbai sprouted.

After Du Shengsheng left, no one took care of them anymore. Four of them gradually withered, and only one survived.

In the morning, Gu Yanbai stared at the four withered poppies on the balcony, stunned for a long time.

He couldn't help but wonder: After losing Shengsheng, would he slowly wither away like these four poppies?
With great difficulty, he found the only person in the world who could make his heart beat. But just as he found her, he was about to lose her.

I'm so unhappy...

"Gu Yanbai, why are you telling me this?" Du Shengsheng's voice was so cold. She was no longer the warm little sun in his memory: "Do you think I care about anything that is broken now?" Sunflower?"

However, it was all his own fault. He had changed her so that she could no longer smile brightly like the sun.

Gu Yanbai pursed his thin lips and lowered his eyes. The thick long eyelashes cast a small arc shadow on his lower eyelids, which made him look sad and lonely: "But I care."

His voice was very soft, so soft that it was almost drowned out by the sound of the fountain.

But Du Shengsheng heard it, and she was slightly stunned.

"I didn't care before. Even after you moved away, I didn't even think of watering the flowers." After a moment of silence, Gu Yanbai continued: "So there were originally five poppies alive, and now there are only One plant."

"But the sunflowers are still alive. As you said, the vitality of sunflowers is very tenacious. No matter how difficult the conditions are, they will work hard to survive."

Having said this, Gu Yanbai finally raised his head, and with his deep eyes that could not see the bottom of his eyes, he stared at Du Shengsheng with love: "Shengsheng, after you moved away, I thought for a time that I You won’t be able to survive... Of course it’s not your fault, I’m world-weary to begin with, and it doesn’t make any difference to me whether I’m alive or dead.”

"After you left me, I felt that there was no point in living anymore. I'm not happy living anyway, so I might as well end my own life after supporting my brother to take over the Gu Group as I planned before."

"But this morning, after I saw the sunflowers blooming on the balcony, I suddenly changed my mind."

Mentioning sunflowers, a smile appeared on Gu Yanbai's usually indifferent face unconsciously: "Those flowers bloomed so brilliantly. I obviously didn't care about them, but they still bloomed brilliantly towards the sun."

In fact, Gu Yanbai has never liked Sunflower.

He thinks sunflowers are very tacky, not only the color is gaudy, but the shape of the flower is also vulgar.

But this morning, he stood on the balcony, looking at the pots of sunflowers in full bloom on the balcony, and suddenly felt that these were really the most beautiful flowers he had ever seen.

The bright yellow is no longer gaudy, but looks full of vitality.

The unfolded petals are so brilliant, just like the sun, so dazzling.

At that moment, Gu Yanbai suddenly fell in love with Sunflower.

"Looking at the sunflowers blooming on the balcony, I suddenly seemed to understand why you gave me sunflowers in the first place." Gu Yanbai looked at Du Shengsheng with a gentle smile: "So I decided , I no longer seek death. From now on, I will be like the sunflower, living tenaciously and pursuing you tenaciously, until one day, our love flower sprouts and blooms again."

His confession is always so touching.But at this moment, Du Shengsheng couldn't tell whether he was telling the truth or whether he was pretending to be affectionate to deceive her...

Since he couldn't tell the difference, Du Shengsheng took it all as he was lying to her.

After all, before they broke up, he had said many love words to her that made her heart beat. But these love words were all lies, all false, all... lied to her!

"No need to waste your efforts." Du Shengsheng said with determination: "I will never forgive you. Even if you spend your whole life pursuing me, I will never agree to be with you again."

"Rather than delaying each other like this, it's better to let go as soon as possible. It would be better for you and me..."

This sentence is true.

Du Shengsheng is serious and hopes Gu Yanbai can let go.

Tonight, she decided to become a bad person and stabbed Gu Yanbai's heart. She even drove Gu Yanbai to go crazy on the spot and cut her right hand with a fruit knife...

She took revenge on Gu Yanbai, and she made Gu Yanbai taste the taste of heartbreak.

But she was not happy at all. On the contrary, she was sadder than anyone else when she saw Gu Yanbai's heart broken.

So forget it, stop torturing each other, let go, let each other go, let yourself go...

"Shengsheng, I know you can't believe me yet." Faced with Du Shengsheng's rejection, Gu Yanbai was not discouraged. He still smiled gently. He had endless patience for Du Shengsheng: "But I will prove it. my own."

"Why don't you understand?" Du Shengsheng collapsed: "It's useless no matter how much you prove, I won't believe you!"

"Just like tonight, you deliberately injured your hand, and then said so many touching confessions, but my first reaction was not moved, but - what trick is he playing again? He must be lying again. I!"

"Don't you understand? No matter what you say or do now, my first reaction is whether you are lying to me again... Even if you really take out your heart and give it to me, I can't do anything about it. I don’t trust you anymore.”

The real destructive power of lies is that once trust breaks down, it is even more difficult to rebuild it.

And what Gu Yanbai told was another big lie.

Du Shengsheng also wanted to believe him, but...she couldn't!
"I'm not even sure if I really know you." Du Shengsheng's eyes turned red silently, and her voice was also mixed with a hint of despair: "The Mr. Gu I know is really You? Or are you pretending to be?"

This is where she breaks down the most.

She doesn't even know if the "Mr. Gu" she fell in love with exists.
What if her love, like Huo Zhixuan's, was just a one-sided fantasy?
Maybe the Mr. Gu she fell in love with didn't exist at all, and all this was staged by Gu Yanbai for her to see...

Facing Du Shengsheng's desperate question, Gu Yanbai remained silent for a long time before slowly giving the answer: "Part of it is disguise, but part of it is the real me."

He paused, then looked into Du Shengsheng's tearful eyes and said word by word: "Shengsheng, don't cry, it's okay. I promise that from today on, I will use my truest self to get to know you..." Let’s start over.” (End of chapter)
