CHAPTER 413: CHAPTER 413 LET YOURSELF GO

Ji Yu wanted freedom, and she also wanted Jiang Huai to be free.

Such a thing was far too difficult for either of them.

Ji Yu took a deep breath, struggling to comprehend the situation in front of her.

"Yu, do you know what it feels like for a person with no hope left to hear those words from you? It feels like you’re sentencing him to death. Such a thing is simply impossible to accept."

Ji Yu had already done enough.

The one who couldn’t let go was indeed him, but even so, what could come of it?

"Yu, you have no idea how much I love you. My feelings for you will never change, not in this lifetime. If you’re sentencing me to death, it’s no different than killing me."

He paused abruptly after saying this.

"Yes, actually, you do want to kill me. I know this thought has crossed your mind before. Wasn’t that exactly the case yesterday?"

He smiled as he looked at Ji Yu, having already figured everything out.

Ji Yu frowned, unable to easily accept what she was hearing.

"So this is what you think in your heart."

He used his feelings to punish her; such a thing was utterly absurd.

Ji Yu had spoken all she could, hoping he would cast everything else aside. Yet he stubbornly believed Ji Yu was his salvation.

"What you’re doing is incredibly selfish. I don’t even know how to describe you, but everything you’re doing now truly disgusts me."

She was disgusted by what he had done.

Ji Yu no longer wanted to continue living this way.

His obsessive personality was something that couldn’t be changed. It would be better if he simply stopped paying her any attention.

"Yu, rest well. When you’ve figured everything out, tell me, and I’ll stay by your side."

In truth, Jiang Huai’s intention was to force Ji Yu to have only him by her side so they could finally be together in peace.

But he didn’t realize that Ji Yu’s feelings were just as obsessive as his.

She came here knowing that nothing would happen to her.

Yet deep down, her heart still remained tied to Gu Qixiao.

"Gu Qixiao, how are you doing now?"

In fact, Gu Qixiao’s condition had indeed improved greatly.

But for some reason, Gu Qixiao had recently been feeling a strange emotion in his heart, as if something was stuck there. "Uncle Hu, I’ve recovered for the most part. I want to go bring Yu back."

Each time he said Ji Yu’s name, he would feel an inexplicable unease in his heart.

Hu Jianyu also felt it was time to bring Ji Yu back, but the current situation wasn’t entirely stable yet. Even if Ji Yu were brought back, the result would remain the same.

"Yu is currently most worried about your health. Once you’ve fully recovered and go to bring her back, she’ll definitely be very happy."

Hu Jianyu patted Gu Qixiao on the shoulder, urging him not to overthink it.

Gu Qixiao opened his mouth, wanting to express what was in his heart, but for some reason, all his words got stuck in his throat.

He didn’t know what he should say, only that the current situation was too miserable. He felt like he had nothing left.

"I want to see Yu. If I can’t see her, my heart definitely won’t be at rest."

He was in too much pain.

Gu Qixiao was very earnest about this matter.

"If you’re feeling restless, why not try and see if you can bring Yu back? In my view, this problem is very difficult to resolve. If you can bring her back, it would be a perfect resolution."

In reality, even Gu Qixiao had little confidence in his own ability to succeed.

He constantly felt that the current situation was wearing on his nerves, even pushing him close to the edge.

"Uncle Hu, I think I’ll stop taking these medications. There might be other things added to them. Lately, I’ve been feeling a bit off."

He had his own thoughts on the matter.

He didn’t want to forget Ji Yu just like that.

Perhaps it was because Gu Qixiao’s feelings for Ji Yu were far too intense that he had now grown resistant to the drugs.

Seeing that Gu Qixiao’s condition was indeed a bit off, Hu Jianyu grew anxious. "Maybe we should call the doctor over for a check-up. I think your current state isn’t good."

There was no way he could just sit by and watch Gu Qixiao collapse like this.

Gu Qixiao nodded, agreeing to the suggestion. He couldn’t say much, but he would still do what needed to be done.

The doctor arrived quickly and, after roughly understanding Gu Qixiao’s condition, also had a general idea of what was going on.

"Based on our evaluation, this appears to be a new drug recently developed by the organization Jiang Huai is affiliated with. They jokingly call it the Heartless Pill. Its primary function is to alter your memories, erasing all the beautiful memories you have of a specific person."

And the most beautiful memory in Gu Qixiao’s heart was probably Ji Yu.

So at this moment, he was gradually beginning to forget Ji Yu, which was why his body was displaying such symptoms.

Gu Qixiao was furious about this matter, but he felt helpless as well. He had known all along that he was slowly forgetting something important—and sure enough, it was related to Ji Yu.

Some things were now too difficult for him to articulate, likely due to the effects of the medication.

"But actually, this sort of thing can be completely resisted. If you truly don’t want to forget someone, it’s absolutely impossible for that person to casually disappear from your memory."

The doctor’s eyes carried a hint of amusement, hoping Gu Qixiao wouldn’t let his thoughts wander at this critical moment.

"I understand. I’ve been trying my best to remember Yu, but sometimes, when it comes to matters regarding her, I subconsciously avoid them—as if this person is a taboo for me."

The doctor quickly offered his judgment on this, "This proves that this person holds immense importance in your heart. That’s why you feel this way now. A lot of things work like this. You’ve already done quite well, but the downside to such a newly developed drug is that there’s no antidote."

The doctor essentially laid it out clearly: since this was so new, there was undoubtedly no cure yet. If it couldn’t be resolved, it would entail endless complications.

"So now, can I only watch myself forget Yu bit by bit?" Gu Qixiao looked panicked. How could he possibly just casually forget the person he cared for most?

"Not so quickly."
