Gu Juexi stared at the depressed Ye Yuwei. He used his chin to gesture to his left side. Ye Yuwei blinked in confusion. She did not get it at first, but then she got up and moved to his left side. “What’s wrong?”

“Sit down,” Gu Juexi instructed her. He put his arm around Ye Yuwei’s shoulder after she sat down beside him. “I can’t lift that arm,” admitted Gu Juexi.

Ye Yuwei was speechless for a moment.

‘I did not notice that you couldn’t lift your arm so it’s my fault. I’m sorry.’

Gu Juexi lowered his head and kissed Ye Yuwei’s forehead. He did not care that his mouth was greasy. “What we can confirm is that you are important to him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have changed his plan just for you despite planning for years.”

Ye Yuwei leaned into Gu Juexi’s embrace. She did not deny it, but she didn’t agree with it either.

“Do you really not care about what my aunt did?” asked Ye Yuwei. She looked up and put her chin on Gu Juexi’s shoulder. She gazed at Gu Juexi closely, looking for reassurance.

Gu Juexi dumped sand on the fire after Ye Yuwei’s clothes had dried. He turned to look at Ye Yuwei when she asked him that question. They were too close to each other. Gu Juexi instinctively pressed a gentle kiss to her lips.

“If the truth was revealed to me all of a sudden, I don’t think I could control myself. You know how my mother suffered all these years, so it’s impossible for me to handle that kind of news calmly. I think that was your father’s concern as well so he let me handle this matter.”

They were so close that Ye Yuwei could feel Gu Juexi’s warm breath against her skin.

“Since this started, all the way until Feng County and Shennongjia, I have been suspecting and investigating one thing after the other. At the same time, I was slowly accepting the truth.”

Ye Yuwei sniffled after she listened to Gu Juexi’s honest response. She leaned her forehead against his shoulder, unwilling to look him in the eye. Perhaps she was afraid to show him her red eyes.

“However, Wen Lan is dead and Ye Di received her punishment. Everything has come to an end now,” said Gu Juexi calmly. It had really become a bygone for them when Gu Juexi put it that way.

Ye Yuwei closed her eyes. She felt like a huge burden had been lifted from her shoulders by Gu Juexi. She put her greasy hands around Gu Juexi’s neck.

Gu Juexi frowned but did not stop Ye Yuwei. He would definitely blow up and kick the person to another universe if someone else did that to him.

“Ye Yuwei, you’ll never know how much I love you,” Gu Juexi sighed.

Ye Yuwei did not respond. ‘What was wrong with his head?’

She could not feel the love he talked about at all!

“Perhaps I can feel it better if you attack me less often,” replied Ye Yuwei. She quickly pecked his cheek with her greasy mouth and ran away swiftly.

Gu Juexi looked at her, speechless.

“We must seek truth from facts. I didn’t say anything wrong, did I? You should not put the blame on me when you are unwilling to accept your own weaknesses,” said Gu Juexi matter-of-factly.

Ye Yuwei unclenched her fists, looking extremely annoyed. ‘Good. Well done.’

Gu Juexi felt happy looking at Ye Yuwei’s facial expression. He said, “Wash your hands. We need to go through the jungle to reach the other side of the island. Perhaps we can find a way to connect to the outside world.”

For the sake of leaving this place, Ye Yuwei decided not to fight with Gu Juexi. She went to wash her hands in his long sleeves shirt.

Gu Juexi could not control his desire when he saw her uncovered legs. He started to imagine those legs wrapped around his waist—

“Gu Juexi, don’t you want to wash your hands?” Ye Yuwei cut off his train of thought.

Gu Juexi’s wild imagination was pulled back to reality at once.

Ye Yuwei shook her head. ‘Crazy. Crazy. He’s definitely crazy!’
