Clearly, Gu Sang had never linked the ugly girl with the beautiful Xiao Fang.
Duan Chen continued to read. The diary recorded some trivial past events between the ugly girl and Gu Sang. It was evident they had a good relationship. With Gu Sang's protection, the ugly girl was no longer bullied. The diary entries gradually became brighter, and she buried her budding affection and gratitude deep in her heart.

It's been a long time since I opened this diary. After graduation, I lost Gu Sang's contact information. I don't know where he is or how he's doing. In any case, I'm not doing well.
I don't have a single friend, and now even my parents have left me. Is there any point in living? I'm here to say goodbye, Gu Sang... My biggest regret is not being able to see you one last time before I die.
I once found a beam of light, but at sunset, I could only return it to the sun.
Gu Sang... I miss you so much.

Suicide attempt failed. I was rescued from the fire.
The doctor said my facial burns were severe and recommended a full cosmetic surgery at Zhen Piaoliang Plastic Surgery Hospital. I agreed.
The surgery was very successful. I now have a face I've always dreamed of, and my life has changed completely. I found a job, made friends, and am living a life I never dared to imagine.
I'll secretly tell you, recently many people have confessed their feelings to me. But I've been looking for you. I heard you joined the Watchers organization and became a Spirit Hunter. You're still as outstanding as ever! I thought, if you ever get injured, I could treat you, I could help you and stay by your side? Hehe!
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 25, 2029, LIGHT SNOW
Oh my god! It's Christmas today, and I finally see you again, Gu Sang!
I swapped shifts with Tian Qi, who was taking care of you, and specifically stayed by your side. How much I want to tell you how much I've missed you all these years, how much I want to tell you I'm the former ugly girl. But seeing how strong and excellent you are, I became timid.
I'm afraid you already have someone by your side, and I'm afraid you'll look down on this fake face. I noticed you started avoiding me...
My eyes are fake, my nose is fake, but my love for you is real.
When I become brave enough, I will definitely confess to you. I will order you a cappuccino and tell you that the meaning of cappuccino is 'take me away'!
Gu Sang, I want to be with you! To have 10 children with you and be together forever ♥♥♥♥♥
...
This is the last page of the diary.
Duan Chen was an emotional person, and his heart ached at this moment. These two people who secretly loved each other, after so many years of missed opportunities, were so close to being together.
He remembered when he helped Gu Sang ask Xiao Fang out, the anticipation and happiness overflowing in her eyes.
"After work today, Thirteenth Street, Encounter Coffee House. Order a cappuccino, she said she likes it."
How to describe regret—
So close to touching the moon, but alas, dawn broke...
Gu Sang's tears seemed to have run dry. He wailed, his mournful voice echoing through the corridor.
The nurses in the distance were already weeping. They had always been curious why Xiao Fang, with her beauty, never had a boyfriend, and why she remained indifferent to the pursuits of many wealthy and powerful men.
It turned out she was waiting for her hero.
Now, her hero had finally arrived, but she was separated by life and death, never to meet again.
Gu Sang put away the diary and stood up in a daze.
He turned his back to Duan Chen and said dully:
"Everyone has a Buddha in their heart. If you knock down the Buddha, you have to face his demon..."
Gu Sang bent down and picked up Xiao Fang's body, tilting his head slightly.
"The apostle of the evil god told me that to save Xiao Fang, I must go to hell. I have no choice."
Chaos demonic energy craves intense changes in the host's spirit and negative emotions.
Gu Sang swallowed the fruit given by Ye Yan. Black blood now spread throughout his body, and terrifying demonic energy pulsed and twisted with his heartbeat, like a bloodthirsty demon god.
His eyes were covered by black trees, glowing with a strange number: "03".
The dark seed planted in Gu Sang's heart had completely grown into a towering tree.
"Evil god? How can you believe the rhetoric of such a pyramid scheme! Gu Sang, calm down." Duan Chen tried to step forward but was pushed back by the demonic energy he released.
Gu Sang was suppressing this power, but his killing intent still distorted space.
The small corridor was crushed and uneven. The nurses could barely breathe, collapsing to the ground in pain.
Xiao Lian, to protect her sisters, spread her arms in front of them to shield them from the onslaught.
"Duan Chen, I don't want to owe you. I can tell you the origin of that bullet."
"That bullet is indeed specially made by the Spirit Hunter Guild. The '[gh]' insignia is not something ordinary people can forge. Whether it's the shape, luster, or feel, it's definitely a guild product.
Furthermore, this is a bullet only issued to high-ranking agents, its power far exceeds ordinary bullets.
In the small city of Su Cheng, besides you, there is another high-ranking agent. His name, I think you know better than I do."
Gu Sang paused, his voice incredibly cold.
"What did you say?!"
Duan Chen's pupils trembled. Although he had considered this possibility, he was unwilling to face it directly. It was only issued to high-ranking agents, and the other person in Su Cheng besides him was Gao Tiankai.
"In the next life, we'll be brothers again if fate allows."
With that, Gu Sang, carrying Xiao Fang, walked towards the water room, a demonic mirror left by Ye Yan hanging on him, a secret passage to Mirror City.
Each of his steps was slow, as if afraid of disturbing the princess sleeping in his arms.
"Wait, Gu Sang! What are you doing? You're not thinking of 'resurrecting' Xiao Fang in Mirror City, are you? Calm down, even if a siren eats a heart and takes Xiao Fang's form, it's not Xiao Fang at all, it's a monster in human skin!"
Duan Chen shouted from behind, but Gu Sang turned a deaf ear, looking tenderly at the sleeping princess in his arms.
"Ugly girl, don't be afraid... Your hero will bring you home."
"Forgive me, for being late."
Swish!
Gu Sang and Xiao Fang vanished on the spot. The heavy, suffocating energy finally dissipated, and everyone gasped for air, like drowning people who had just been rescued.
"Damn it!"
Although the spiritual pressure Gu Sang released earlier was powerful, it was filled with darkness, despair, and the aura of death, not like the energy of a living person, but like some kind of demonic energy.
Duan Chen's mind suddenly recalled what Xiao Li had not finished saying: be careful of g...
This 'g', could it be referring to Gu Sang? But how could Xiao Li have predicted what was happening now?
