There wasn't a huge sensation, and even in Ice City, no one paid much attention to it.
Only the teachers in the school and the colleagues around Gu Hanyue might think something like this.
"Oh, it turns out she is an anti-Manchurian and anti-Japanese element."
Gone.
No more people will pay attention to this matter.
The last time I met Gu Hanyue, why didn't we have a nice chat? Can't we just have a chat about something other than work?
Why do you seem speechless?
Seeing Yu Jingque's somewhat painful look, Ji Youning spread out his palms and found a piece of candy lying quietly on his sweaty palms.
Yu Jingque looked at Tang and then looked up at Ji Youning.
Ji Youning stretched out his hand in front of Yu Jingque and said, "Gu Hanyue asked me to bring it to you."
Yu Jingque picked up the candy with his fingers, it was very familiar.
"Isn't this the wedding candy we used when we got married a few years ago?" Yu Jingque asked.
This candy has been around for some years. It was the wedding candy used by Yu Jingque and Ji Youning when they got married.
I gave it to Gu Hanyue at that time.
Because at that time, Yu Jingque accompanied Ji Youning and brought wedding candies to the school, asking Ji Youning to share some with his colleagues in the school.
The first one to give was Gu Hanyue, and she gave several pills.
I didn't expect that after all these years, Gu Hanyue would still be there.
Why would she keep this wedding candy?
Why do you want Ji Youning to give it to you now?
Before Gu Hanyue died, did she have any communication with Ji Youning?
Yu Jingque's heart was full of doubts.
Facing Yu Jingque's doubts, Ji Youning squeezed out a smile and said, "She said this candy is very bitter."
"What?" Yu Jingque asked.
"She said that in this world, there is a very bitter kind of candy, which is your wedding candy."
"Every time she eats it, it feels so bitter. This is the last one, and she wants to give it back to you." When Ji Youning said this, his eyes were red.
Ji Youning could hear the meaning of Gu Hanyue's words, but there was no displeasure in his heart, only deep pity.
Yu Jingque looked at the candy in his hand and smiled helplessly.
He knew what Gu Hanyue meant, but it was just a very, very superficial meaning. Yu Jingque didn't take it to heart at all. In Yu Jingque's opinion, Gu Hanyue would forget it after a while.
But the candy in the palm of his hand told Yu Jingque that Gu Hanyue had not forgotten, and the expression was superficial, but it was just Gu Hanyue's restraint.
For a time, the sugar in Yu Jingque's palm became as heavy as a thousand pounds.
He opened the candy wrapper, and there was not only a candy inside, but also a very small note.
Opening the note, there was a paragraph written on it in very small handwriting, just like the way they conveyed information.
"Jing Lei, to be honest, I have had you in my heart. It doesn't matter if I tell you this. It's not against the law to like people, but I can only stop until I like them."
Holding the note in the palm of his hand, Yu was startled and laughed dumbly.
Gu Hanyue is rational.
She never expressed any such meaning.
Even if there is, it is very slight.
But this line of words made Yu Jingque understand Gu Hanyue's thoughts.
But Gu Hanyue's rationality prevented her from expressing it. This time, perhaps Gu Hanyue felt that the task she was about to perform was too dangerous, so she wrote these words.
She didn't even dare to call him by his first name, fearing that others would see what he said.
It can only be replaced by thunder.
But Yu Jingque had no way to respond to Gu Hanyue. Even if Gu Hanyue was still alive, Yu Jingque had no way to respond.
Gu Hanyue also took this into consideration, so she never said anything.
So Ji Youning doesn't hate it.
She knew that Yu Jingque and Gu Hanyue were innocent, she just felt sorry for Gu Hanyue, suppressed her feelings, and in the end... sacrificed her life at such a young age.
Looking at the candy that seemed to have expired long ago, Yu Jingque reached out and put it into his mouth.
It's really bitter.
Spread throughout the body.
It turns out that my wedding candy is so bitter, Yu Jingque thought silently.
Ji Youning took out some more things and said, "Gu Hanyue got the information, here it is."
"After she got the information, she was exposed. She couldn't trust anyone. She found me after she was shot."
"You gave me the information and candy. I wanted to save her, but..."
"But she said that information is more important, and she asked me to promise her to protect the information and give it to you."
"She said this was her last wish before she died. She could only believe me..."
Ji Youning didn't want to recall the scene at that time.
After Gu Hanyue was exposed, she was already desperate.
She could only find Ji Youning. She and Ji Youning had known each other for so many years, and she felt that Ji Youning was not a bad person.
Ji Youning wanted to save Gu Hanyue just once, just like the first time he saved Gu Hanyue, but he failed.
No chance.
Ji Youning's protection of intelligence is already fraught with danger.
Fortunately, Ji Youning did it. She didn't live up to Gu Hanyue's expectations, and she didn't let Gu Hanyue die in peace.
It was the wisest choice for Gu Hanyue to go to Ji Youning at that time, but Ji Youning had no way to save her life.
Perhaps after being shot, Gu Hanyue already knew that she would die, and she just hoped that the information could be handed over to the organization smoothly.
Gu Hanyue couldn't bear to think about whether Ji Youning could believe it.
There was no time to consider whether Yu Jingque's identity would be exposed to Ji Youning.
Stop asking so much of her. Gu Hanyue had no choice at that time.
After receiving the information, Yu Jingque felt as if it still had Gu Hanyue's warmth.
Looking at Ji Youning in front of him, Yu Jingque reached out and held Ji Youning in his arms.
He knew that Ji Youning's day was not easy either.
The experience of abandoning Gu Hanyue, protecting intelligence, and being surrounded by dangers was also very difficult for Ji Youning.
After being hugged by Yu Jingque, Ji Youning hugged Yu Jingque tightly with both hands. She needed this hug.
She leaned on Yu Jingque's shoulder, a tear falling from her eyes.
The two hugged each other silently, feeling the strength each other brought to each other.
Sacrifice always makes people unprepared, but this is not a reason or excuse for you to give up the fight.
The battle is still going on, every day.
There was no rest for the whole night, and this was the case for both Yu Jingque and Ji Youning.
In the room in the morning, Yu Jingque said to Ji Youning: "You and Gu Hanyue have a good relationship. Someone should investigate you. Don't be nervous and deal with it normally."
"I understand." Ji Youning said.
Feelings need you to hide them.
Express, you are not qualified to express.
This is what Yu Jingque and Ji Youning are now. After leaving home, the two of them have to start thinking about how to deal with the next thing.
Instead of thinking about whether Gu Hanyue can survive.
To the living people, the world seems to be more cruel and will not be friendly to you.
You need to put away your feelings and start thinking now.
Your brain is not used for memories and remembrance, but for fighting. It is so cruel.
Taking a deep breath, Yu Jingque and Ji Youning went downstairs to eat with Yu Mosheng.
The two of them have returned to normal, that superficial normality...
ps: I borrowed a line from The Grandmaster and thought it fit very well. It was the same line on the note.
When Gu Hanyue was getting wedding candies, did someone think of today?
