Waiting could be torturous, especially when the waiting might be endless and hopeless.

Ye Yuwei paced around barefooted; she was so nervous that she just couldn’t stay still.

Gu Juexi was using twigs and branches to prepare for what they might need to cross the swamp, and had refused to accept Ye Yuwei’s help each time she offered it. In his words, Ye Yuwei was too clumsy to help out.

“You are making me feel like help is never going to come and we will have to cross the swamp for sure.” Ye Yuwei squatted on the ground and looked at Gu Juexi while resting her chin in her hand.

Gu Juexi glanced at Ye Yuwei and continued to tie the branches together with some vines. He was making a raft, something with a bigger surface which could help them cross the swamp.

“Your instincts were never good. The only time they actually worked was when you fell for me at first sight.”

Ye Yuwei didn’t know what to say.

How could this man be so shameless? Though he had a point and what he said was quite true.

The man who had carried her and saved her from the fire back then.

“You kept saying that it was Brother Lu who saved my life, then why didn’t I fall for him at first sight?” Ye Yuwei looked at Gu Juexi and asked stubbornly.

Gu Juexi turned to shoot her a glare before continuing with his raft-making. “You were obsessed with good looks.”

Ye Yuwei was stunned at Gu Juexi’s answer. Well, well. That was straightforward.

Ye Yuwei couldn’t look away from Gu Juexi’s back. The wounds had stopped bleeding but that didn’t make it any less horrifying to look at. However, Gu Juexi just couldn’t be bothered and continued with his task casually.

Did this man have no nerves?

“Why don’t you teach me? I will…”

“Just sit there and don’t disturb me,” said Gu Juexi while waving his hand at Ye Yuwei so he could continue his work.

No good deed goes unpunished, Ye Yuwei thought angrily and squatted down again at her original spot to continue watching Gu Juexi do his work.

Though Ye Yuwei had to admit that she was obsessed with Gu Juexi’s looks. Be it ten years ago or now, this man had his own charms that were mesmerizing.

The only difference was that she used to be the only one to contribute in their relations.h.i.+p but whatever she used to do alone back then, they did together now.

They loved each other now.

Gu Juexi was like a treasure to her. A treasure that was so well hidden that it would take her whole life to discover him.

Ye Yuwei remembered a quote from the Chinese poet who wrote “You Are An April Day”:

[Liang Sicheng asked Lin Huiyin: Why did you choose me?

And Lin Huiyin’s answer was so impressive that it stayed in her mind: It is a very long answer, and I am prepared to tell you about it with the rest of my life. Are you ready to hear it?]

Setting what Lin Huiyin said aside, Ye Yuwei believed that she could use the rest of her life to discover more of what she didn’t know about Gu Juexi.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Gu Juexi could feel Ye Yuwei staring at him.

Ye Yuwei didn’t move. She continued to rest her chin in her hand and stared at the busy man, and said, “You have no idea how much I love you, Gu Juexi.”

A lifetime promise was never an easy one to make, but she was willing to make such a promise for Gu Juexi.

Gu Juexi lifted his head to look at his wife who had gotten sentimental all of a sudden and let out a scoff before continuing with his work.

Ye Yuwei fell silent. That was all? What was with that scoff?

“Gu Juexi…” Ye Yuwei was distracted by an odd sound. She looked up into the sky but couldn’t really see with all the trees blocking her view.

Ye Yuwei stood up and listened very carefully to the sound, and her voice trembled when she looked at Gu Juexi and asked, “Is that… is that a helicopter?”
