4387 The Other Side 356
Before Youyou knew it, his arms were empty. He maintained his posture, however, unwilling to come back to his senses.
When Gong Fan saw this, he gently held his shoulder and said with difficulty, “Let’s… let’s leave this place first…”
“Why…”
“Eh?”
“Why does it have to be so cruel?!” The boy still felt heartbroken.
Gong Fan couldn’t bear it and hugged him tightly. “It’s over. Everything will pass.”
Youyou bit down hard on his lip and held him just as tightly. “I will never let you disappear like Shanshan!”
“Uh huh.” Gong Fan replied, “I won’t leave your side.”
Supporting each other, they left the manor.
…
The evening breeze blew.
Alice and Gong Jie sat at the bar by the sea, looking through the French windows at the lonely figure sitting on the beach. Alice sighed.
“I think he’s been sitting on the beach all day. I don’t know what’s on his mind. Since he woke up, he hasn’t said a word. His eyes are bloodshot, but he doesn’t seem to be crying. He’s not answering any questions. He’s just staring into space by himself. I have no idea what’s going on.”
Gong Jie raised an eyebrow at that, but said nothing. “Maybe he’s too tired from the dream. He needs to be alone, to get himself together.”
“What kind of dream do you think it is?” Alice felt rather anxious.
Logically, no matter what happened in the dream, the boy would have told her all the details. This time, however, the boy had chosen to remain silent. But Alice could see that he was exhausted from the dream.
“Something must have happened.”
Alice gave Gong Jie’s shoulder a knock. “Why don’t you ask him?”
“How? And what should I ask?”
“Just ask why he’s so down? If he doesn’t cooperate, we won’t know how to proceed with the treatment plan.”
Gong Jie looked disgusted. “You’re his doctor. I’m not.”
“But you’re his uncle.”
The man was suddenly speechless.
Alice hinted again. “You promised Shishi that you’d take good care of him. What’s wrong with showing some concern for your nephew?”
The man looked bewildered and was stumped. Exasperated, he drained his glass and immediately stood up. After giving her a cold sideways glance, he left.
It was night and the sea breeze was strong.
The reflections on the water surface rose and fell with the waves. One wave hit, and then another. The air was filled with water droplets.
Youyou sat on the beach, hugging his knees. His gaze was far away, but it was unfocused. He seemed so lost in thought that he didn’t notice even when Gong Jie sat down beside him.
The man handed him a beer. “Want some?”
The boy finally realized his presence, but his expression didn’t change. “Does Mommy know you’re pouring wine down your nephew’s throat?” he asked calmly.
Gong Jie withdrew his hand resentfully at that. “You’re using your mother to pressure me again.”
“Because you fall for it. Every single time.”
The man laughed and ruffled his hair. “Brat!”
“…”
“Tell me, what happened?” Gong Jie glanced at him. “You’ve been sitting here for a long time. What’s on your mind?”
“Hmm? Nothing’s on my mind.”
Despite his breezy manner, the boy buried his face in the crook of his arm.
