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

Chapter 248 Family and Country in Dire Straits (18)

When Gu Yao woke up again, he was in his own room.

The aftereffects of being drunk were perfectly embodied in him.

My head is throbbing so badly it feels like it's going to explode.

"Hey, are you awake?"

"Ok?"

Gu Yao looked up and saw Xu Qing looking at him leisurely.

In the dim light, his face was long and drawn, like a grim reaper coming to claim his life.

Gu Yao was so frightened that he lost all his sleepiness.

An awkward yet polite smile appeared on her lips. "What brings you here?"

Xu Qing glanced at him twice, said nothing, and got up to pour him a cup of tea.

"If I hadn't come, you wouldn't even know how you died in the Yan family."

Gu Yao remained silent.

He hadn't expected this body to have such a low alcohol tolerance.

Gu Yao took the teacup and muttered, "I didn't expect my alcohol tolerance to be so low. But I'm fine now."

Xu Qing looked at the obsequious person in front of her and sighed softly, "A Yao, let's go, let's leave Jinbei."

It doesn't matter where you go.

Don't stay in northern Shanxi.

Gu Yao put down his teacup, looked directly at Xu Qing, and gently shook his head. "Xu Qing, you should know my temperament."

Xu Qing's eyelashes trembled, and she lowered her eyes. "Yes, I know your personality."

Because I know your personality, I know I can't persuade you.

As soon as he arrived in northern Shanxi, he heard about the fight that broke out at the Yan family's wedding banquet, so he rushed to the Yan family's house.

They were afraid something might happen to Gu Yao.

He was also glad that he had come to northern Shanxi.

Otherwise, Gu Yao would probably be left in that messy place.

Recalling the look in Yan Yu's eyes when he went to the Yan family to pick up Gu Yao, Xu Qing's eyes darkened.

That obsessive, possessive look in his eyes was like that of a lone wolf he had seen in England, guarding its territory and never letting anyone else set foot in it.

Xu Qing turned her head away as she looked at Gu Yao, who was still rubbing his head in a daze due to a hangover.

Since A-Yao himself believed Yan Yu, he decided not to interfere.

Ultimately, this is A-Yao's own business, and he cannot overstep his bounds.

Xu Qing raised his hand to look at his watch, stood up and picked up his coat hanging on the clothes rack. "A Yao, I'm leaving. Don't go to the Yan family's place for the next two days. You must leave Jinbei within two months at most."

Otherwise, even if it means kidnapping, I will have someone kidnap you. I'm not joking; I'm just informing you.

Gu Yao paused in rubbing his head, waved his hand impatiently, and said in a drawn-out tone, "I know, you can go now."

Xu Qing looked at the listless person, gritted her teeth, and turned to walk out of the courtyard.

"Gu Jiu, right? Take good care of A Yao."

Gu Yao looked over upon hearing the sound and saw Xu Qing grab Xiao Jiu, who was passing by, and give her a fierce warning.

Startled, Xiao Jiu nearly dropped the tray in her hands and could only nod stiffly.

Xu Qing looked at the well-behaved boy in front of her and breathed a sigh of relief.

This child is quite sensible.

All his efforts were worthwhile.

He didn't want to delve into where the child came from.

In the end, A Yao knew what was good for him.

He patted the boy on the shoulder and hurried out.

Xiao Jiu was startled: "..." It's so hard to be a person!

Are all humans this terrifying?

I hate people who have no sense of boundaries.

The boy looked a little sullen as he brought in the hangover soup, only to be teased by his host.

"Xiao Jiu, I'm sorry to trouble you to take care of me."

Xiaojiu:......

Calm down. This is your host. Don't attack. Stay calm!

The young man handed the hangover soup to Gu Yao.

Gu Yao smiled, picked up the hangover soup, paused, and turned to ask, "Xiao Jiu, did you remember everything you saw at the Yan family's house?"

The young man nodded.

"It's all written down."

"Okay, I'll send the message out in a bit."

Yan Xi has ultimately betrayed China.

Gu Yao lowered his eyes, gripped the rim of the bowl tightly, and drank the hangover soup in one gulp.

***

In northern Shanxi, mid-July.

Yan Yu took the last book from Gu Yao's book box.

His ten fingers trembled slightly.

"Sir, are you leaving?"

Gu Yao was taken aback, but his expression remained unchanged. "Why does Young Master Yan ask such a question?"

The boy waved the book in his hand, and the book made a rustling sound as it vibrated. "This is the last book in the teacher's book box."

Gu Yao took a sip of tea. "It's because the young master learns so quickly."

They did not receive a direct answer from the young man.

Yan Yu lowered his eyes in disappointment, "Yes, I learned too fast."

Learn too fast.

The gentleman naturally left quickly as well.

I was just afraid of delaying your journey.

He wanted to break the gentleman's wings and confine him to this small courtyard.

But whenever this thought comes to mind, a piercing pain shoots through my heart.

He wanted to use every means to capture the person in front of him, but a fear from the depths of his soul warned him against it.

He was warned that he was better off not doing so.

Yan Yu didn't say anything more, but started reading the book in his hand.

In an attempt to divert attention.

Gu Yao could clearly sense that the child was in a bad mood, but he didn't know what had happened.

Somewhat confused.

Is this a generation gap?!

But seeing the person in front of him engrossed in reading, Gu Yao swallowed back the words he was about to say.

Yan Yu loosened his grip on the corner of the book slightly.

In the sweltering heat of July, the shade of tall trees is the coolest place.

Yan Yu didn't need him to do anything special, which made Gu Yao feel a little sleepy.

A gentle breeze, carrying a slight warmth, made one even sleepier.

Yan Yu looked at it and couldn't help but smile.

He closed the book and gently patted the person who was resting his chin on his hand and nodding his head. "Sir, if you are sleepy, please go and rest in the rocking chair."

Those clear, cold eyes opened hazily, carrying a hint of innocent confusion.

It struck Yan Yu's heart immediately.

It softened his heart completely.

He got up and helped the person to the rocking chair next to him.

For some reason, Gu Yao, who was so sleepy that he could barely keep his eyes open, still remembered his duty and tried to get up, but Yan Yu pressed him down.

"Sir, please rest. It's alright."

The boy's voice sounded somewhat ethereal, yet exceptionally gentle, plunging the already drowsy Gu Yao completely into darkness.

Looking at the young man's cool and serene sleeping face, Yan Yu's eyes darkened.

I got up, went inside to get a blanket, and as I passed the table, I casually poured out the remaining half-cup of tea.

Cover the young man with a blanket.

Yan Yu sat beside Gu Yao, gently tracing the young man's outline. Just looking at him filled him with joy.

The boy sighed softly.

Sir, what am I supposed to do with you?

I want to hold you in my hands, but I don't know how to do it without hurting you.

I want to let you soar through the sky, yet I worry about your safety.

I fear even more that the lone goose will fly away and never return.

Those who knew Gu Yao was already fast asleep became even more unrestrained, their fingertips meticulously tracing every contour of the young man.

He craved the warmth of his fingertips.

She wanted to keep him, but she knew that the person in front of her wouldn't stop for her sake.

After resorting to some petty tricks, he dared to brazenly scrutinize the person in front of him.

He knew he would be discovered by the person in front of him, but so what?

Sir, you're about to leave, aren't you?

Let him indulge a little longer.

Consider this payment for letting Mr. Ren run wild last time.

The boy placed his hand on the string of seven-jeweled prayer beads and leaned down to kiss them.

A dragonfly touches the water.
