Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 1252: Chapter 1251: The Mini Boss Sent Me to Bring You Soup

Xia Xi’s emotions were showing, and Gu Tong could easily see the changes.

Gu Tong pursed her lips and said evenly, ”You’re sick...”

”...” Not a comforting sentence, nor soothing words, but simply and bluntly the three words ”you’re sick.”

Xia Xi was about to burst into tears, her eyes blurred with tears as she looked at Gu Tong, completely unaware of her meaning.

Gu Tong said calmly and steadily, ”There are some things I must remember. I forgot things I shouldn’t have, that’s my problem. Why would you blame yourself for my issues? Isn’t that a sign that you’re sick?”

Xia Xi: ”...” Oh, oh, got it...

Xue Tongtong was comforting herself, but somehow the words sounded so strange and provocative...

Xia Xi’s eyes were filled with tears, ”But if it weren’t for me, you’d open up slower, and the side effects wouldn’t happen, you wouldn’t have suffered so much...”

Xia Xi understood the agony of unlocking those memories; she had experienced it before. The feeling was terrifying, like a one-day trip to Hell.

She shouldn’t impose on others what she didn’t wish upon herself, yet she burdened her most important person, nearly causing her trouble.

Gu Tong glanced at her and said lightly, ”I don’t want to live a muddled life.”

Gu Tong didn’t explain too much but was aware that Xia Xi would understand the meaning of her words.

In the previous life, she lived muddled enough.

In this life, she didn’t want to repeat the same mistakes.

The current pain wasn’t a big deal.

Losing her daughter, losing her husband, losing her father...

All the painful past constantly cut into Gu Tong’s flesh.

Her heart felt like it had been stabbed, that kind of pain no one could understand.

Xia Xi sniffed, her initial tears devoured back, ”Me too...”

She understood Xue Tong, the person who shared a similar character with her.

Because of this understanding, Xia Xi decided recklessly to find a way to unlock Xue Tong’s memories, for they were alike.

Because of Xue Tong’s injury, Xia Xi blinded herself to the process, only remembering the result.

Gu Tong’s words, albeit brief, were subtly reminding Xia Xi of all the process, helping her truly regain rationality.

This is understanding...

Understanding between close friends, a deep unforgettable feeling.

It’s this feeling that propels them forward, even across lifetimes, they can still find each other.

This is a friendship predestined by fate...

Gu Tong exhaled a breath of impure air, ”Alright, stop fussing, take care of the patient and give some water.”

Her body was so exhausted, her fingers seemed powerless, unable to lift.

Xia Xi hastily wiped her face, then, without further ado, quickly opened her backpack and took out an unopened bottle of mineral water.

She unscrewed it, bent down and said, ”I’ll let you drink.”

”...” Gu Tong’s mouth twitched twice, ”Can you first help me sit up?”

Xia Xi: ”...” Oh, that’s right, drinking water while lying down might choke a person.

Xia Xi coughed dryly, feeling a bit embarrassed, she put the water aside, supported Gu Tong’s body with one hand, and helped her sit up.

Gu Tong followed the force to sit up, and Xia Xi started feeding her the mineral water.

...

’Rip--’

The tent flap was pulled open.

Amis came in with a bowl of steaming hot soup, ”Miss Xue Tong, the little BOSS asked me to bring you soup.”

”Pfft...” Gu Tong sprayed out the mineral water she hadn’t yet swallowed.
