You Owe Me, My Love

Chapter 421 His Life

She knew what it was like to lose someone you hold dear to your heart—the world would be in shades of grey.

Even when she was surrounded by people, she would still feel hollow deep down.

No matter how high the temperature was in summer, she would feel chilly.

Every meal, she would recall how much he loved braised pork and how he would remove the bones in the fish before giving her the flesh.

When she went to bed at night, she would remember how she used his arm as a pillow.

When she walked down the street, she would recall how he told her to walk inside and how he took her hand before leading her across the road.

Whenever she switched on the TV, she would remember how the man accompanied her when she used to watch soap operas. But instead of changing channels, he would be on his phone.

When she was cold, he would drape his jacket over her and hold her hand to warm her up, and he would allow her to rest in his embrace or bring her to bed whenever she was tired.

As those thoughts occurred to her, Bai Rong felt a searing pain in her heart, and she had a strong urge to die on the spot. She wished that heaven existed so that they could reunite there one day.

She couldn’t afford to lose Gu Mingchen. Even though she had to stay away from him, she refused to burden him.

At the sight of Bai Rong sobbing, Gu Mingchen’s heart clenched in agony. He wiped her tears away with his thumb gently. “Let’s talk about that later. At least we’re doing fine now.”

Bai Rong lowered her gaze wordlessly.

After that, Gu Mingchen unlocked the door and led her in.

Right then, she could hear their dog barking.

Poor little thing… It’s always starving.

At once, Bai Rong fed her dog and brought it some water. She watched in a daze as the dog gobbled up the food and lapped at the water happily.

Dogs were merry creatures because they weren’t greedy. They hadn’t had many hardships in life and were easily satisfied. As long as food and water were provided, they would wag their tails happily.

On the other hand, human beings were emotional beings. The greedier one was, the harder it was for one to be happy.
