The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend-Chapter 221: Directly Took Half His Life

Gu Yuan originally thought that Chi Yu wouldn’t answer her call so quickly.

But to her surprise, the call was answered immediately, and his voice came through the receiver, unusually cheerful—

"Yuanyuan, I’m here."

This was the first thing he said upon answering the phone.

Gu Yuan gathered her emotions and asked him, "You said yesterday you came to say goodbye, have you already returned to Yanjing?"

There was silence on the other end of the line.

For a long time, there was no reply.

So long that Gu Yuan glanced at her phone screen; if it weren’t for the call ongoing page still being displayed, she would have thought he had hung up the call.

"Chi Yu, where are you?" Unable to get his answer, Gu Yuan asked again.

But the person on the other side seemed mute and just wouldn’t answer her.

Gu Yuan felt frustrated. He always fell short at critical moments, and this time was no different. She could imagine that if she asked about his true identity, he would come up with every conceivable excuse to dodge it.

"Chi Yu, speak." This time, Gu Yuan’s tone lacked the patience it had before.

But the person on the other end remained silent, maintaining a deathly silence, yet not hanging up the call.

Instead, it was Gu Yuan who hung up the phone.

After hanging up, she closed her eyes and counted to five silently before calling back.

Chi Yu answered again, but this time didn’t speak first. Gu Yuan didn’t care what he thought and didn’t have the patience to deal with him any longer; otherwise, she wouldn’t get the answers and results she wanted.

"Tell me, are you in Yanjing or Sui City? If in Yanjing, I’ll fly over to find you tonight. If in Sui City, I’ll come to find you right now."

Her words got Chi Yu to respond.

His voice over the receiver was weak and despondent: "Yuanyuan, I already said goodbye to you yesterday."

"Yes, you did, but that was you saying goodbye to me, I haven’t said goodbye to you, have I?!" No matter what, Gu Yuan was determined to know the truth.

She didn’t want to continue being the ignorant fool.

If it’s over, it should end cleanly.

"There’s no need." Chi Yu’s voice was very faint as he said, "As long as I’ve said goodbye to Yuanyuan, it’s enough. I’ve already returned to Yanjing."

Gu Yuan coldly snorted and said to the person on the other end, "You’ve returned to Yanjing, have you? Fine, I’ll book a ticket to Yanjing now and will personally visit the Quan Family tomorrow morning to formally say goodbye to you."

Chi Yu: "..."

To the Quan Family...

She had guessed it.

As smart as she was, how could she not guess?

Since the moment he said that sentence in front of her, he hadn’t intended to keep the truth from her anymore. He could actually keep it hidden forever, but he was still one step away from his final plan...

In truth, Chi Yu had returned to Yanjing.

He had planned to leave today, but today his health deteriorated. Because he spent the entire afternoon in cold water, his body’s organs were already gradually failing; suddenly hit by this blow, it took away most of his life.

Tu Kuan scolded him for courting death.

Chi Yu replied, "You see, every cell in my body, including the virus, is actively resisting leaving here, leaving the place where Yuanyuan is."

Tu Kuan was at a loss for words.

At this moment, Chi Yu didn’t have much strength to even hold the phone; he had to try hard to grasp it tightly so it wouldn’t fall out of his hand. Yuanyuan had already guessed he was Quan Jin. He had planned all of this, yet at this moment, he didn’t have the courage to admit it.

Quan Jin is fictional.

Later, Chi Yu came into existence.

After Chi Yu disappears, the fictional Quan Jin will also be gone.

Chi Yu’s voice was strained and bitter, speaking to the woman on the phone: "Yuanyuan, I miss you so much."

It’s still that sentence, his only longing.

"You haven’t returned to Yanjing?"

"Mm."

The voice of Gu Yuan over the receiver was so gentle: "Then shall I come to find you?"

At this moment, Chi Yu was truly spellbound, and he said, "I’ll come right away, Yuanyuan, wait for me."

Gu Yuan: "Okay, I’ll be waiting for you at the Gu Mansion."

After ending the call, Chi Yu hailed a car to take him to the Gu Mansion. When Tu Kuan learned Chi Yu was going to see Gu Yuan, he didn’t object, as meeting her once was a matter of being able to meet at least once. Especially since it was Miss Gu who wanted him to go.

Maybe his relationship with Miss Gu has eased a bit now.

But Tu Kuan didn’t understand: "Why don’t you let me drive you there? I won’t charge you money for driving."

Chi Yu wore a black lightweight windbreaker, put on a black baseball cap, and his slender figure and handsome face were outlined by the black, forming a clear contour. He looked very pale, with no trace of color on his lips; just seeing Chi Yu like this was enough to make one worry.

After donning a mask, Chi Yu said, "I might be there for a long time."

Seeing Chi Yu’s departing back, Tu Kuan suddenly thought of something and advised: "Even if you make up with Miss Gu, take it easy, your health can’t handle it."

As the words fell, Chi Yu’s figure had already disappeared.

Touching the back of his head, Tu Kuan felt he had said too much just now. Standing on the balcony, he saw Chi Yu walk out of the front courtyard, out the gate; from his back, he didn’t seem different, but all his differences lay on that pale face.

The phone in his pocket rang.

Tu Kuan took out his phone to see it was a call from Old Madam Quan.

Tu Kuan answered it, respectfully greeting: "Old Madam."

On the other end of the line, Yu Rujin asked, "Has he set out?"

Tu Kuan didn’t want to break the old lady’s heart, but he had to be honest: "In response to the old madam, Quan Jin went to see Miss Gu and probably won’t be back tonight; he’ll have to wait a while longer."

The other end of the line fell silent for a few seconds, followed by a sigh, and then: "I knew it, it’s always because of that Miss Gu that he put his life on the line."

If I were to say that Miss Gu was good, Yu Rujin would agree.

But what they considered good couldn’t surpass how Quan Jin saw her, better than the world.

Listening to Yu Rujin’s complicated emotions and yet helpless words, Tu Kuan couldn’t help but think, it’s rare for Quan Jin to have such a kind grandmother, and for the Quan Family to have a mistress so reasonable.

In another family, if something jeopardized their grandson’s life, the typical response would be to err on the side of caution, absolutely forbidding Quan Jin from maintaining contact with Miss Gu.

They would definitely keep the two of them apart as much as possible.

But Old Madam Quan never did such a thing.

Apart from feeling pained and helpless, most of the time she consistently supported Quan Jin’s wishes, supporting him to do what he wanted to fulfill his aspirations.

To let this elderly lady see her grandson once more, Tu Kuan said, "Old Madam, please rest assured, I will bring Quan Jin back to Yanjing as soon as possible."

"Good, also Doctor Tu, please take more care of him," Yu Rujin said, and then hung up the call.

Tu Kuan put away the phone and went back to prepare to go downstairs, suddenly realizing that Chi Yu had left in a hurry and didn’t take his phone with him.

Oh well, anyway, he’s going to see Miss Gu, he won’t need a phone.
