Gu Qingyuan had actually always known that after something like this happened, if he still wanted to be forgiven, it was almost impossible.
And Gu Qingyuan shouldn't be like this either. If this kind of situation could have been avoided, they would still have had a chance, and there'd be no need to wonder why it had come to this.
Gu Qingyuan actually rather likes the way things are now. Even though it might trigger Shen Biran's disgust, if this way of doing things can achieve the result she has in mind, then of course it's the best.
In order to let Gu Qingyuan start feeling lighter bit by bit from now on, he can only sacrifice some things.
Maybe after sacrificing those things even he himself will feel helpless, but that's how it is; if he doesn't do it, there's no other possibility.
Gu Qingyuan should have thought of all this long ago, yet he can't bring himself to think about why it would end up like this.
