CHAPTER 484: CHAPTER 484: SENSIBLE TO THE POINT OF HEARTACHE

The green train swayed as it sped along. This was the first time Gu Lingling had taken a train since her rebirth, and on the second day of the new year, there were very few people on the train.

Gu Lingling felt a bit dazed, as if she had returned to her previous life.

When Lv Guodong took her away from Qin City, it was also on a snowy day like this, and there were few people on the train. The two of them seemed somewhat out of place.

It was her first time ever taking a train, and running away with Lv Guodong, leaving her family behind, had terrified her.

Because of the cold, she was shivering all over. Once they arrived, she got sick, and most of the money they brought was nearly spent.

They had no choice but to rent a basement in Dao Bei to live in.

The winters were deathly cold, and the summers unbearably hot.

At first, they managed to scrape by, but later, things changed without her knowing when.

And then later on...

Gu Lingling shook her head and gazed at the snowy white landscape outside the window. Why was she thinking about her past life at this moment?

The train journey from Qin City to the Capital City took a day and a night. Although she was very worried about Yang Yunhai, Gu Lingling forced herself not to overthink.

Because there were few people, Wang Shuxia managed to get a sleeper berth. Gu Lingling spoke very little throughout the journey, almost asleep the entire time.

She needed to preserve her strength.

"Mom, will she be okay?" Liu Yating asked worriedly.

When the call came about Yang Yunhai’s accident, they had just finished eating. Her mother immediately told her to quickly bring Gu Lingling over.

At first, Liu Yating was puzzled. Why call Gu Lingling for her cousin’s accident?

Only later did she realize her suspicions were correct; the two had already gotten together without her knowledge.

"She’ll be fine," Wang Shuxia glanced at the sleeping Gu Lingling, "She’s storing up her strength and energy."

After all, Yang Yunhai was still in a coma. Rather than wasting energy on random thoughts, it was better for her to replenish her energy right now.

Even if she was just pretending to sleep, it was better than sitting there dazed.

Sure enough, half an hour before the train was about to arrive, Gu Lingling got up.

They were met by Mr. Wang’s guard.

"How’s Yunhai doing?" Wang Shuxia asked.

"H-he’s still the same."

The same, meaning just like what was said over the phone—he was still unconscious.

Gu Lingling’s eyes darkened.

Sadly, in her previous life, she had already left Qin City with Lv Guodong and knew nothing about what happened here. She didn’t know if Yang Yunhai had gone through the same thing in her previous life.

Or if it was the butterfly effect from her rebirth.

If that were true, she would hate herself.

No, that can’t be.

Yang Yunhai would definitely be okay.

He promised her that once she came of age, he would marry her.

She had promised him, too, that she would wait for him.

They both had to keep their promises.

Wang Shuxia looked at Gu Lingling with heartache. From the time they learned of this until now, this girl hadn’t said much. Unless asked, she’d only answer briefly.

Even now, she sat quietly, not speaking a single word.

Her maturity made others feel distressed.

"Don’t worry. Yunhai will be fine," Wang Shuxia said, holding Gu Lingling’s ice-cold hand.

"Yes, I know." Gu Lingling nodded heavily.

The guard in the front threw a glance at her through the mirror. The first impression of the girl was her beauty, but upon closer look, there was a kind of aura about her—a quality that instilled inexplicable trust, calm and dignified.

No wonder both commanders made a point of offering special care.
