Chapter 22 I Choose Gu Chaonan
I had already died in my original world.
Even if the Win Over succeeded, I could never go home.
I had already accepted fate's gift.
Marry Xie Yiheng, live out a quiet life.
It was the hollow distance in that marriage that gave me a new idea.
I did not want to just get by anymore.
I wanted a life completely different from before.
I wanted to be loved with someone's whole heart.
And I wanted to love someone with my whole heart too.
I was lucky. I got both.
"What would you understand?"
I told the System.
"From the moment I closed my eyes, I was already dead. Coming to this world—no matter how long I lived—was pure profit."
"Gu Chaonan is not some irrelevant passerby. He is the man I love. He is my husband."
"If I can save him, I win."
The moment the words fell, a point of light appeared not far away.
That was where Gu Chaonan was.
I shouted toward the rescue workers.
"I heard his voice!"
As I ran, rebar scraped my knee. Broken stones cut my calf.
Pain could not slow me down even a little.
I had to race against every second to see him.
When the rescue workers and I finally moved the wall that had pinned him—
Gu Chaonan's hoarse, desperate voice came out.
He was calling my name.
Luckily, he only had some scrapes.
I let out a breath and rushed forward to hold him tight.
"Gu Chaonan, I'm fine. Relax!"
Hearing my voice, the tension left his whole body.
His voice shook.
"A Yu..."
My fingertips carefully traced his handsome brows and eyes.
I smiled, and then the tears fell.
"Husband, let's go home."
Gu Chaonan lifted me steadily into his arms.
The gloom of so many days finally broke apart in that moment.
"Okay. Let's go home."
