Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy

Chapter 265 Family and Country in Dire Straits (35)

When Gu Yao woke up groggily, it was already dusk.

The dim yellow light from outside shone into the room through the window frame, with a sliver remaining on Yan Yu, giving her already radiant face a touch of warmth.

Seeing that Gu Yao was awake, Yan Yu moved his stiff body and reached out to help him up.

Seeing the person's tense expression, Gu Yao felt somewhat helpless; it wasn't really a big deal.

Yan Yu protected him like a porcelain doll.

He sighed softly, but still managed to get up using the support on his back.

My body is indeed feeling a bit uncomfortable after sleeping for so long, and I'm also a little... hungry.

When the sounds of his stomach protesting echoed in the silent room, Gu Yao blushed deeply, turned his head away, and wanted to find a hole to bury himself in.

Thank you for the invitation. He died peacefully.

Yan Yu was taken aback by the sound, clenched his fist, turned his head and coughed lightly twice, "It was my oversight, sir, you haven't eaten or drunk anything for almost a day."

Gu Yao: "..."

Thank you, but I wasn't comforted.

Yan Yu realized that what she said seemed inappropriate, so she quickly added, "It really has nothing to do with you, sir. It's my fault."

This is even more like trying to hide something obvious.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Gu Yao remained silent.

So all that verbal skill is used for **?

Yan Yu was still thinking of trying to salvage the situation when there was a rapid knocking on the door. "Brother Yao, are you there?"

The girl's voice was slightly coquettish, with a rising tone.

Yan Yu raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, "Brother Yao?"

The hand that was resting on her waist was also withdrawn.

Gu Yao patted the somewhat threatening hand, "Stop fooling around, Xu Qing is in such a hurry, something must have happened."

As he spoke, Gu Yao got out of bed, picked up his coat from the hanger, and went to open the door.

Yan Yu lowered her hand, pursed her lips, and looked somewhat unhappy, but she didn't show it.

They followed Gu Yao to the door.

Xu Wan was so anxious outside that she wanted to push the door open directly, so she opened the tightly closed door from the inside first.

Upon seeing people, the girl grabbed Gu Yao's wrist and pulled him forward.

Yan Yu's eyes darkened, and he reached out to pull Xu Wan's hand away. "What are you doing?"

Xu Wan then noticed that there was another person behind Gu Yao. She looked up and met his deep, gloomy gaze, like a monstrous ghost with bared teeth and claws, wearing human skin and pretending to be kind, trapping Gu Yao in his absolute territory.

A pair of eagle eyes surveyed the territory, ready to tear anyone who coveted the treasure to shreds at any moment.

Xu Wan now felt like she was the intruder who coveted the treasure, and that she would be torn to pieces by the person in front of her at any moment.

Startled, she shrank back sharply.

Gu Yao was taken aback, realizing that the girl in front of him had been frightened by Yan Yu.

He turned his head to look at Yan Yu, reached out and patted him lightly, his tone somewhat helpless, "Stop fooling around, you're scaring people."

Xu Wan watched as the evil spirit before her instantly donned the skin of a kind human, hanging her head with a wronged expression, "Sir, I didn't."

? ? !

However, Xu Wan had no time to pay attention to Yan Yu right now. "Brother Yao, let's go to the hospital quickly."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yao's expression changed, and he followed Xu Wan outside.

"what happened?"

Xu Wan was also a little scared. Thinking about what had just happened on the street, she felt a pang of panic.

"My brother had just come out of the bank today when Detective He came to find him. Then, someone tried to kill my brother, and Detective He was shot while trying to save him."

Gu Yao nodded, having a general understanding of the situation.

Xu Wan wasn't too alarmed; Xu Qing should be alright.

That means He Yanshen has a serious problem. If he came to find him, it must have been at He Yanshen's request.

She probably said she wanted to see him before the surgery.

Is this preparation for not being able to get out?

Gu Yao was worried and could only quicken his pace to follow Xu Wan out.

Yan Yu glanced at Gu Yao's solemn expression and realized the seriousness of the matter.

When Gu Yao arrived at the hospital, Xu Qing was sitting in a chair, covered in blood.

A black suit jacket was draped over the back of a chair, and a white shirt was covered in bloodstains.

Gu Yao stood in front of Xu Qing, looking at the dazed person with trembling hands, and sighed softly.

"Xu Qing."

Xu Qing looked up blankly and saw Gu Yao's familiar face. It was as if she had found her pillar of support. She wanted to say something, but her throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton, and tears rolled down her cheeks first.

Gu Yao's expression darkened. He sat down next to Xu Qing and gently patted his back.

Xu Qing's hand trembled as she tried to grab Gu Yao, but she caught a glimpse of the dried blood on her hand and the image of He Yanshen's pale, bloodless face flashed through her mind.

Lifeless.

The scene was filled with red, sticky and nauseating blood, all flowing from that body he knew so well.

Xu Qing withdrew his hand, as if he had suffered a major blow. His already pale face paled even more in an instant, which made Gu Yao a little anxious. Without any disgust, he grabbed Xu Qing's hand.

The moment that hand touched his palm, Gu Yao frowned deeply.

It's too cold.

It was only autumn, but these hands were as cold as if they had been caught in a violent blizzard and taken out of the ice of the coldest days of winter.

"Xu Qing, calm down! He Yanshen is not dead yet."

Xu Qing snapped out of her daze, as if she had found her way, and blankly pulled her hand away from Gu Yao's. "Yes, he's not dead yet, he's not dead."

"He's not dead, he's still alive."

Gu Yao frowned, looking at Xu Qing's appearance. He opened his mouth, but in the end, he just sighed softly and quietly stayed with Xu Qing.

It's as if his soul has been drained, leaving only a shell walking through the world, constantly repeating, "He's not dead, he's still alive."

It's as if they're trying to find a sliver of solace in these six words.

Xu Wan turned her head away, tears streaming down her face, refusing to look at Xu Qing again.

She was afraid that if she watched any longer, she would be unable to hold back her tears and hug Xu Qing.

In her memory, her older sister got married early, so her memories of her sister weren't very clear. It was always her older brother who took care of her. She watched him return from studying abroad and shoulder the burden of the Xu family all by himself. He always seemed to be in complete control, as if nothing could defeat him. All she had to do was hide behind her brother and never grow up.

Xu Qing always told her that she only needed to be herself and didn't need to worry too much. He also told her that she should find a good man to marry in the future, and that he would be there to support her no matter what happened.

This was the first time she had ever seen her brother cry.

Having lost his three souls and seven spirits, he was barely clinging to life.

The girl, her eyes blurry with tears, stared at the still-lit operating room light, silently praying that Detective He would be alright.

Even if she were incredibly naive, she would still notice something was off between the two of them.

She truly hadn't expected He Yanshen to be so reckless.

The girl wiped away her tears, sniffed, and quietly waited for the result.

Perhaps it was truly divine intervention that He Yanshen survived.

When the doctor's words entered her mind, Xu Qing felt as if she had come back to life.

Suddenly everything went black, and Xu Qing's legs gave way. Gu Yao quickly caught Xu Qing, saying, "Be careful."

Xu Qing looked up at Gu Yao, grabbed the young man's arm, and tears rolled down her cheeks. "A Yao, he's not dead. He Yanshen is alright."

Her fingertips trembled uncontrollably, and Gu Yao frowned as he helped her to a chair.

"Yes, he's alright now."

Xu Qing raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face, her face smeared with dried blood.

The smile and the drooping corners of his eyes were stuck together crookedly on his face, making him look extremely disheveled.
