Even though it did not look as terrible as when he was a child, the scenes here were deeply imprinted in his mind. He was always recalling them over and over again.
Gu Lichen looked down quietly, seemingly recalling something, but his face seemed to be stained with a layer of loneliness.
Watching Gu Lichen, Ling Yiran suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Here they had gotten through thick and thin as well as experienced life and death together. The two small figures were like comrades, as thick as thieves.
However, now there seemed to be gulf after gulf between them.
"Do you know what it's like to miss someone?" Gu Lichen's cold voice suddenly rang in the silent and empty forest.
Ling Yiran was slightly stunned.
However, Gu Lichen did not seem to be asking her for an answer. Instead, he said to himself, "When you miss someone, you carve that person in your mind, put them on your mind, and think about her all the time."
There was a slight curve on the corners of his mouth. Soon, a smile spread across his face, but the smile seemed unreal.
It was just like a snowflake. As long as the sun shone on it, it would disappear in an instant...
"I’ve been missing someone since I was 11 years old, but I couldn't find her all these years. Have you ever felt that kind of despair? There should be such a person in this world, but you just can't find them!"
Ling Yiran was silent. She knew that he was talking about her!
Gu Lichen's voice continued ringing. "When the yearning became some kind of despair, I was constantly on the lookout for people who look like her. As long as they looked similar and as long as I could see some traces of her, this yearning wouldn’t feel so desperate anymore."
Ling Yiran was stunned and looked at the man in front of her in shock.
