Unable

"Let me out."

Gu Zhi had been locked in the room for 24 hours. He stood in front of the door, banging on the door with his fists, his face full of anger and reluctance.

His fists became red and swollen, but he still kept knocking on the door.

The experimental vials that were neatly placed on the desk were smashed to pieces by himself, the books on the bookshelf were scattered on the floor, and the meals sent by Gu Xunlun were also thrown to the ground by Gu Zhi.

Gu Zhi screamed heartbreakingly for a while, but there was still no response, and there was no movement at the door. He was already exhausted and weak, and he slumped against the door.

His two hands were paralyzed on the cold floor, and his eyes were quietly looking at the shattered experimental bottles on the ground. Unconsciously, the image of Yan Manjia lying on the cold test table emerged in his mind.

"She...must be...in pain."

In the silent room, Gu Zhi spoke this sentence with a hoarse voice, white lips, and trembling.

The originally clear eyes were now filled with red bloodshot streaks. Recalling what he had done to Yan Manjia, one of his red and swollen hands grabbed his heart and the other hand grabbed his hair.

Not only were there tears of regret on his face, but there was also an indescribable sense of desolation.

The image of Yan Manjia before and now became clearer and clearer in his mind, and the painful feeling of guilt in his heart became more obvious.

But no matter how hard I grabbed my hair, my whole body was shaking with pain, and I couldn't resist the pain in my heart.

He cried silently until his face turned red, his ears were red and swollen, and he gradually became difficult to breathe.

He put down the hand that was grabbing his hair and clutching his heart. His vision went dark, and he fell to the ground with his head along the door.

When I opened my eyes again, I was hit by a strong light that stung my eyes.

Sitting next to him is his father.

Gu Xunlin saw his unconscious son open his eyes. When his original serious expression changed slightly, he returned to his previous fierce expression because of the first words Gu Zhi said after waking up.

"How is she?"

Gu Zhi covered his painful head with one hand and sat up from the hospital bed. His face was full of worry for her, and his eyes seemed to be looking at Yan Manjia, gentle and slightly sad.

Gu Xunxin, who was sitting by the bed, leaning on a cane with both hands, raised his ferocious eyes. When he saw Gu Zhi's unattractive appearance, he frowned and gritted his teeth. He wanted to let Gu Zhi know that he was now

Extremely dissatisfied with him.

And Gu Zhi understood Gu Zhi's alert look not only this time, but also in the past.

As a son, Gu Zhi naturally understood his father's vigilant look, but he no longer obeyed his words as before.

This time, he just wanted to follow his heart and do what he wanted. He blinked at the hesitant eyes, endured the physical discomfort, walked out of the hospital bed, walked along the corridor while holding on to the wall, and came to the elevator entrance.

He was in a bad state and had to undergo facial recognition several times before entering the elevator.

Yan Man was tied up in the white room, and her limbs were tightly tied with slender iron chains along the bed, tightly binding her in the pure white room.

But her eyes just blinked again and again, as if they were lifeless.

Gu Zhi supported the wall with one hand and walked to the door of the room. He tremblingly pressed his finger on the fingerprint lock on the door. He looked up and watched the door slowly open.

The first sight of her was blurry. Gu Zhi blinked and saw her clearly on the bed again. The emotions in his heart were no longer under control. He stretched out one hand towards the girl, wanting to touch her, and the other

Covering his mouth with one hand, his eyes suddenly turned red. He squatted on the ground, and the surroundings were very quiet. It was so quiet that he could only hear the cry that he was trying to cover up when he cried bitterly.

He covered his mouth and his pale face turned red.

Amidst the silent crying, the sound of footsteps on crutches gradually appeared.

"My son who is worried can't let it go like this."

"Contain your emotions."

"If you can't hide it, you have to hide it."

Gu Xunlu walked to Gu Zhi's side and spoke indifferently.

But at this time, Gu Zhi didn't care about his father's words at all. He stood up slowly while holding on to the wall and wanted to walk in and see her.

But because of his father's words, his mind went blank and his ears started to ring.

"She can't hear you, let alone see you."

After hearing this, he was stunned and looked at her blankly.

"Why...why?"

His voice was extremely weak as he spoke, his hands left the wall, and he slowly moved his feet towards her side.

He moved his steps slowly, letting himself gradually appear in her sight, carefully observing Yan Manjia's condition.

But she just blinked and couldn't see anything, let alone realized that the person she hated the most at this moment was right next to her.

Gu Zhi bent over and squatted beside her bed, seeing the iron chains tightly locking her hands. His eyes were filled with self-blame, and he raised his hand tremblingly to touch her fingers.

His brows furrowed and he looked flustered.

Yan Manjia felt the touch of her fingers, and her body couldn't help but tremble. She looked in the direction of Gu Zhi, but she couldn't see anything. She could only blink in fear.

Her expression of extreme fear caught Gu Zhi's eyes.

His hand tentatively waved in front of Yan Manjia's eyes.

He looked carefully at Yan Manjia's eyes, which had long since lost all hope and were filled with only fear and despair, and he felt a wave of panic in his heart.

He put down his hand and found that the girl had no reaction to his appearance. At that moment, he knew that this girl was just as his father said, she could not see him.

"Yan Manjia."

Gu Zhi adjusted his emotions, which were on the verge of collapse, exhaled, and said her name with a choked voice.

The gentleness in his voice seemed to disappear, and it seemed to have turned into a broken cry.

But the girl still didn't react at all, her eyes were dull, and she looked lifeless.

He saw the girl's condition with his own eyes, and felt pain in his heart.

He immediately knelt on the ground, crawled to his father behind him, and nodded three times in a row.

Gu Xunli was shocked by her son's behavior, but even more ashamed.

"I'm not dead yet, so there's no need for you to pay such a big courtesy."

Gu Xunlu took three small steps back, turned around to avoid Gu Zhi, and slammed the crutches on the ground. His face was full of anger. He was extremely dissatisfied with Gu Zhi now. He knew that his expectations for Gu Zhi were too high.

high.

Gu Zhi knelt down and came to his father again, pulling Gu Xunyou's gown.

"Father···."

"Dad..., I beg you to let her go."

"I don't want to continue."

When Gu Xunliu heard Gu Zhi call him "dad", a picture of Gu Zhi when he was young flashed through his mind.

"Dad, the little plane is taking off."

Twenty-one years ago, it was a very sunny day. Xiao Zhi was swinging on the swing in the small garden, and his little hands were folding paper airplanes. When he saw his father, who had been looking forward to coming back for a long time, he was very happy, so he ran towards his father with his little legs.

, holding the small plane high with his little hands, and in his clear eyes, the small plane was flying in the vast blue sky, following his footsteps and landing together, feeling extremely happy.

Without paying attention, he fell in front of Gu Wenxin.

Xiao Zhi looked up at his father with a slightly aggrieved face, wanting his father to pick him up and touch his forehead as usual.

But Gu Xunlu just looked at little Gu Zhi with lowered eyes.

Those eyes revealed an unprecedented indifference.

"Stand up on your own."

Xiao Zhi fell to the ground and has not yet gotten up. There are some mud stains on his fair little face. His innocent look is very pitiful. His clear little eyes look at the eyes of his superior father who are no longer loving.

The little eyes blinked.

"Don't make me say it a second time."

At that time, when he was young, he didn't realize that his father's chilling eyes would be etched in his bones.

When Xiao Zhi was still thinking about getting up from the ground, Gu Wenyou showed an extremely impatient expression. He threw the briefcase in his hand to the wooden table beside him and lifted up Xiao Zhi's collar with one hand.

Quickly walking into the house, Xiaozhi felt the fear caused by his father. The collar was pinching his neck. He felt very uncomfortable. Unknowingly, tears started to flow and he cried out.

dad.

But without any hesitation, Gu Xunli walked up the stairs, opened Xiao Zhi's door, and locked Xiao Zhi in the room.

It was also after that day that Xiao Zhi changed his surname to Gu and Zhi.

From that moment on, Gu Zhi's life belonged only to his father.

Harbor City

Wang Geyan stood on the rocks by the sea, looking at the sea in the distance, his expression particularly sad.

"Is she...really there?"
