Chapter 563: Chapter 563: Song Miaoyu Falls from a Building
“Just now, it seemed like something fell down,” Shen Heyu’s attention had been entirely on Gu Siyu, but she saw something fall from above in the corner of her eye.
Gu Siyu noticed it, too. He let go of Shen Heyu’s shoulders and turned his head to look down.
The very instant he saw the ground floor, he felt as if the blood in his entire body had frozen.
Shen Heyu’s eyes slowly widened in disbelief as she lifted a hand to cover her mouth.
There was a person lying on the ground below, face down, with a deep crimson of fresh blood oozing around the head.
Moreover, the woman lying on the ground was wearing very familiar clothes, the same as Gu Siyu’s senior, Song Miaoyu.
“Senior Sister!” Gu Siyu reacted, shouting loudly before he turned and ran, with Shen Heyu following him downstairs.
If they had just stood in the corridor, looking down to see the woman lying on the ground wearing clothes identical to Song Miaoyu’s, they might have surmised it was very likely Song Miaoyu, but they still harbored a glimmer of hope, feeling it couldn’t be Song Miaoyu.
But now, as they dashed down the stairs and step by step approached the woman who had fallen, they saw with their own eyes the face submerged in a pool of blood.
That face was indeed Song Miaoyu’s.
Upon seeing Song Miaoyu’s face, Gu Siyu nearly lost his sanity, madly rushing towards Song Miaoyu, wanting to open his arms and embrace her tightly.
At that moment, a passerby quickly grabbed Gu Siyu, shouting, “It’s not yet clear whether this is a suicide or a homicide; we must protect the scene and not disturb it.”
“Let me go! Senior Sister!” Gu Siyu exerted all his strength, trying to rush towards Song Miaoyu, while several onlookers who saw his state immediately surrounded him, preventing him from getting any closer.
Shen Heyu watched Gu Siyu in such a state of distress, then turned back to glance once more at the woman on the ground.
She also didn’t want to believe the woman who had fallen was Song Miaoyu, yet that face was unmistakably Song Miaoyu’s.
How could this be possible?
Although Shen Heyu had only recently met Song Miaoyu and didn’t know her well, based on what she knew about Song Miaoyu, she couldn’t believe she was the type of woman who would jump off a building.
If this wasn’t suicide, then murder was a very likely possibility.
Shen Heyu lifted her head to look at the rooftop. Gu Siyu had gone up to the rooftop terrace with Song Miaoyu just recently, but now Shen Heyu, standing on the ground and looking up, saw nothing.
Gu Siyu was still screaming his senior sister’s name heartbreakingly. His emotions were so intensely agitated that he was ultimately knocked out by someone.
“Take him to rest.” The passersby, worn out from the struggle to restrain him, had no choice but to knock Gu Siyu unconscious and took him away to rest.
Shen Heyu glanced at Gu Siyu’s condition and could only follow to help take him to the resting room.
Sitting next to the hospital bed, Shen Heyu’s mind involuntarily replayed the scene she had just witnessed.
Shen Heyu truly didn’t want to believe that Song Miaoyu, a prodigal genius in poison-making, could have perished so easily.
Yet the harsh reality was right there, in front of Shen Heyu’s eyes, and she couldn’t help but believe what she had just seen with her own eyes.
“Senior sister, no!”
Gu Siyu yelled out before he suddenly awoke with a start, sitting up straight in bed.
His face was pale, his forehead beaded with cold sweat. After regaining consciousness, he turned his head to look at Shen Heyu and reached out, gripping her hand tightly.
He said to Shen Heyu anxiously, “Heyu, do you know? I just had a nightmare. I dreamt that my senior sister fell from a building and died.”
Gu Siyu’s pupils dilated with disbelief. He turned to Shen Heyu for confirmation that it was all just a nightmare.
Seeing him like this, Shen Heyu could only let out a helpless sigh, and somewhat uncomfortably pulled her hand out of his grip.
She looked up at Gu Siyu with a somewhat worried expression, “Gu Siyu, there’s something I have to tell you, but you must prepare yourself mentally.”
“What are you going to tell me? You’re not going to say that I wasn’t dreaming, that my senior sister really did fall from the building, are you? That’s absolutely impossible.”
“My senior sister, who she was… she would never die so easily. This has to be a nightmare.”
Gu Siyu refused to believe the truth. Shen Heyu, with her head lowered, knew that even if it would hurt Gu Siyu, she had to make him face reality.
“Yes, this is not a dream at all. Your senior sister, she… Song Miaoyu really did fall from the building, and the doctors have confirmed that she died instantly, beyond any hope of being saved.”
Shen Heyu knew that Gu Siyu was heartbroken, but avoiding reality would only make it worse. Better a short pain than a long one.
As soon as Shen Heyu finished speaking, she heard Gu Siyu laugh heartbreakingly.
“You must be lying to me. I know my senior sister better than anyone. She would never end her life so easily, all of this must be fake.”
“Is it because I told senior sister that after waiting two more days, I would become her boyfriend, that she got angry and decided to play such a cruel joke?”
Gu Siyu suddenly turned and gripped Shen Heyu’s hand tightly, desperately searching for confirmation from her.
“Bring my senior sister out now, tell her to stop joking around. I agree right now to be her boyfriend. I won’t play any virtual dating games; please tell her not to be angry.”
Shen Heyu took a deep breath, Gu Siyu’s grip on her hand was so strong it hurt.
With clenched teeth, Shen Heyu extracted her hand from his grasp and looked up at Gu Siyu’s face, but his expression was piercingly painful for her to see.
It was a look of heartache so intense it was almost suffocating, his eyes and face filled with unwillingness to believe.
“Gu Siyu, can you please snap out of it? Your senior sister is truly gone, and a doctor has confirmed it on the scene.”
“No, that’s not possible. There’s no way my proud senior sister would die so carelessly, this must all be a dream.”
Still refusing to believe what Shen Heyu said, Shen Heyu had no choice but to call other doctors to give Gu Siyu a sedative.
After receiving the sedative, Gu Siyu fell into a drowsy sleep. Shen Heyu stayed with him all this time, and when he woke up, it was already evening.
“Senior sister, I’m begging you, please stop joking with me.”
