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 relationship 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?"
