The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend-Chapter 193: I Will Die, and No One Can Save Me

Chi Yu took his hand off, biting his cheek tightly and said, "Stay away from me."

"At a time like this, are you still worried about this? Would you be happy if you just collapsed?" Tu Kuan dutifully worried about Chi Yu’s health condition.

But Chi Yu was concerned about Gu Yuan seeing him: "Can’t let Yuanyuan get suspicious."

"You’re crazy!" Tu Kuan was angry at Chi Yu’s lack of common sense.

Apart from a doctor’s perspective, he had no other stance.

Gu Yuan hadn’t entered the hotel yet. When she noticed Chi Yu hadn’t followed, she stopped and waited for a while. From her angle, she could see Chi Yu and Doctor Tu pulling each other and saying something. Because Chi Yu’s face was covered by a mask and sunglasses, Gu Yuan couldn’t see his horrible complexion.

She waved her hand, signaling Chi Yu to come over.

Chi Yu took a step, his footing clearly unsteady. Tu Kuan pressed down on his shoulder: "I’ll go talk."

"I can go over myself." Chi Yu insisted on walking over, but he had used up all his energy for the day and couldn’t walk up to Gu Yuan like a normal person.

What he needed most now was rest.

"Miss Gu!"

Tu Kuan shouted.

He shouted loudly, "This country dog of mine has never seen the world. He’s dazzled by the night view of Hong Kong. Miss Gu, you go in first, and we’ll admire the night view of Hong Kong outside."

Anyway, the label of ’country dog’ had already been placed on him.

Tu Kuan didn’t mind if this label followed him everywhere.

Gu Yuan didn’t turn back. If Chi Yu had a secret he didn’t want her to know about, it was pointless to investigate further. Since they got off the plane, she had noticed something was off about Chi Yu’s condition.

He endured it all the way, with extraordinary difficulty.

"Miss Gu, this way." The voice beside her was Zheng Qin’s.

Dressed in a white uniform and hat, the doorman opened the glass door decorated with two door gods.

Gu Yuan followed Zheng Qin into the hotel.

As Gu Yuan’s figure disappeared from sight, Chi Yu suddenly felt like a building with its main pillar removed, collapsing with a crash. Fortunately, Tu Kuan was quick to react and caught Chi Yu in time.

It was a bit of a struggle because Chi Yu’s whole upper body weight leaned on him.

They didn’t know which floor Gu Yuan was staying on.

The higher the floor, the more expensive it was. So Tu Kuan booked a lower floor.

In the long corridor, guests were moving around.

Chi Yu walked slowly, and Tu Kuan, who was taking care of him, walked slowly too, stopping after only a few steps. Tu Kuan looked back to see Chi Yu several meters away.

He returned: "Do you really not need help?"

"No, I’m not finished yet." Chi Yu’s voice was cool, but he was panting a little. The pace of a normal stroll felt like a run at that moment to him.

His body was deteriorating, but he refused to admit it.

Tu Kuan tried to match his pace.

Actually, he didn’t understand why. Taking this opportunity, he asked: "Why are you so stubborn about not letting Miss Gu know you’re sick? Are you afraid she’ll dislike you for being a sickly person, or is it just your pride?"

Chi Yu remained silent, not planning to answer that question.

But Tu Kuan was genuinely curious. Even if Chi Yu didn’t answer, he persisted: "I think, judging by Miss Gu’s character, she wouldn’t mind. Illnesses come in two types: those that can be cured and those that can’t. She could wait until you’re better."

"No need for her to wait." Chi Yu suddenly spoke, interrupting Tu Kuan.

Hearing Chi Yu’s response, Tu Kuan felt it was a bit extreme and didn’t really understand: "You’re trying hard to get close to Miss Gu, yet you won’t let her get close to you. What’s your mindset? You allow yourself to like her, but won’t let her like you?"

Chi Yu: "If you don’t know, don’t ask."

Tu Kuan: "I’m asking because I don’t know."

Chi Yu: "..."

Tu Kuan didn’t mean to provoke Chi Yu; he was mainly confused by Chi Yu’s actions.

Just as Tu Kuan couldn’t make sense of Chi Yu’s behavior, he heard Chi Yu say something that he couldn’t shake off for a long time.

Because Chi Yu said—

"I will die, and no one can save me."

Tu Kuan froze for a long time and didn’t say another word.

By now, they were outside the room. Seeing no response from Tu Kuan, Chi Yu reminded him: "Get the room card."

Only then did Tu Kuan snap out of it, take out the room card, swipe it, and go in.

Under the night sky, Hong Kong was as beautiful as if countless stars had fallen. The Peninsula Hotel had the perfect location for taking in Hong Kong’s night view from the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Chi Yu sat on the single sofa in front of the window, quietly appreciating the night scene alone.

Tu Kuan poured a glass of water for Chi Yu, handed it to him: "You’re very tired already, aren’t you going to rest?"

"I want to take in the splendor of the world a bit longer." His shallow voice said as he took the water Tu Kuan had poured.

He took a sip and didn’t drink anymore.

Tu Kuan was still unsettled by what Chi Yu said earlier. But Chi Yu, aside from looking pale, appeared completely normal, as if he hadn’t said those words earlier.

Tu Kuan pulled a chair beside Chi Yu, spreading his legs, leaning forward, his hands clasped together, resting against his forehead in silence.

Chi Yu glanced aside at him: "Rest assured, I’m not questioning Doctor Tu’s medical skills, but I have self-awareness."

Tu Kuan suddenly raised his head, turning to meet Chi Yu’s gaze: "Can I ask you something?"

"Ask."

"Why are you so sure you will die? And why did you know you had a short life earlier than anyone else?" Chi Yu’s condition was already beyond Tu Kuan’s expectations, but Chi Yu’s attitude towards his illness puzzled Tu Kuan even more.

He knew he’d die, yet wanted to live. Why did he seem to have no desire to survive at all?

"It’s not that I lack the will to live, but I truly will die. No one can save me." Chi Yu’s words were filled with helplessness.

Who wouldn’t want to live?

He wanted to stay in this world forever.

"Those words feel like you’re giving up on yourself. Isn’t Miss Gu the hardest for you to let go of? Why not make an effort for her; maybe your condition would improve." Tu Kuan tried to persuade him.

"It’s not about effort; it’s about the fact that I’ll disappear from this world." That was Chi Yu’s answer.

"Heh, you will disappear, after all, once you’re cremated, there’ll only be a handful of ashes left." Tu Kuan responded with annoyance.

Chi Yu, however, said: "Maybe not even ashes."

Tu Kuan: "..."

Gu Yuan called.

Chi Yu lit up with joy, all his gloominess crumbling in an instant as he answered excitedly: "Yuanyuan~~"

What a flirtatious tone.

Tu Kuan was speechless. Before Miss Gu’s call, he was like the walking dead, but after the call, he was full of life. The difference was stark... Not wanting to interfere with Chi Yu’s sweet talk, Tu Kuan wisely got up and left.

Gu Yuan, hearing Chi Yu’s voice, felt reassured and asked him: "Room number?"
