This sound startled the whole ship.
When Gu Xiuyi led people to arrive, Ji Ruan had already stood up straight, with his palms lightly supporting the railing, and when he heard the sound, he turned his head and took a look at Gu Xiuyi.
His hair was a little disheveled, his eye sockets and the tip of his nose were reddened by the night wind, but his eyes were calm.
Gu Xiuyi quickly stepped forward and put his coat on him. In just a few minutes, it was another summer night, but Ji Ruan seemed to be frozen, and the skin on his cheeks and neck were icy cold.
His lips were also dry and chapped, he licked them subconsciously, and said with difficulty: “I…”
Gu Xiuyi hugged him tightly, “It’s okay, needless to say.”
God knows he just heard someone fall into the water and turned around and didn’t see Ji Ruan How frightened he was, the blood all over his body seemed to congeal for a moment.
Ji Ruan is not good at swimming, he didn’t learn how to swim last time, and he got cramps, his ears are not good, he can’t hear when he falls into the water, and he will be afraid if no one hugs him.
Although it seems that Gu Xiuyi is most afraid of himself.
Just thinking about it makes his hairs stand on end with fear.
He just hugged like this for a while, feeling Ji Ruan’s shallow breathing against his ears, confirming that he was staying in his arms well, and then his hanging heart slowly returned to its original place, allowing reason to occupy the high place again.
“It’s okay, let’s go back first.” He gently touched Ji Ruan’s face, carried him back to the sofa in the lobby, and wrapped him in a blanket.
The live broadcast has long been cut off, and all media reporters have been banned from filming. The bodyguards evacuated the personnel in batches. Just after the reporters were dealt with, when the guests were evacuated halfway through, Lin Qing was picked up and thrown into the lobby, drenched all over. Cough water on the ground.
The rest of the guests were at a loss at first, but they were unwilling to leave after seeing this scene, and stopped to watch from a distance.
Before Lin Qing recovered, he lay on the ground and kept crying, tears and saliva mixed all over her face, he was extremely embarrassed.
Seeing this, Fang Lan covered her nose, and said in distaste: “Why do you bring this kind of person in here? Find a place to put it overnight and go back tomorrow.”
The crew who picked him up immediately explained: “Because when I rescued him just now, he kept yelling that he were pushed down.”
He pointed to Ji Ruan: “And I did see that gentleman poking his head out of the railing, but I didn’t see the process, so I can’t make a conclusion.”
Ruan Ruan was holding a cup of hot water to warm his hands. Hearing this, he looked up at Gu Xiuyi, and calmly said, “I don’t.”
Gu Xiuyi patted the back of his hand to comfort him: “I know-Song Ling, go adjust the monitoring.”
Song Ling Nodding: “Someone has already taken it.”
Lin Qing, who had been lying on the ground, finally sat up, staring at Ji Ruan with blood-red eyes: “Okay, adjust the monitoring, just adjust the monitoring, you just don’t dare to do it or not. “
Li Suian sighed: “To be honest, we all think that he can’t play the role of deliberately pushing you, and you are not very important. What do you think?” “Did I say he did it on purpose?”
Lin Qing rolled his eyes. The knife flew over: “At that time, we had a dispute and we both fell. The difference is that he fell to the ground and was fine, but I was pushed into the water and almost died. Does negligent injury count as injury?
” Both of them fell, and Gu Xiuyi’s temple twitched violently, and quickly pulled Ji Ruan’s hand to check: “Where did you hurt?” Ji Ruan
was wearing long-sleeved trousers, and nothing would happen if he fell, just bumped his head It took a while to stand up after dropping the external machine.
He pressed down Gu Xiuyi’s hand and shook his head: “It’s okay.”
Gu Xiuyi didn’t dare to take it lightly, checked Ji Ruan up and down carefully, and he was a little relieved after confirming that there was no injury or bleeding.
The crew also stood up and said in a daze: “That’s what I thought. If he was really pushed, he must get an explanation. But if he is wronging others, then he can’t just let him talk nonsense. He has to pay for it.” Only others are innocent, that’s why I brought him here.”
The surveillance was quickly called, and Song Ling handed the phone to Gu Xiuyi: “Look.”
Gu Xiuyi blocked it, hugged Ji Ruan on his lap and sat down, and said calmly, “Play it directly on the big screen.”
Lin Qing felt something was wrong when he heard this, but before he had time to think about it, he saw his face like a ghost on the big screen.
How he stopped Ji Ruan, how he pressed Ji Ruan every step of the way when he wanted to retreat, how he clung to Ji Ruan like a madman, pushed Ji Ruan to the ground but fell off the railing in the bumps, all were caught by him. Clearly displayed on the big screen.
The ultra-high-definition camera captured his every expression vividly, and those ferocious, jealous, mad, and resentful expressions were unreservedly exposed to the eyes of everyone present.
“…”
The facts are clear and there is no room for quibble.
The scene was silent.
Lin Qing seemed to have fallen into the unreasonable calmness after madness, and slumped on the ground in a daze.
Looking at the picture on the screen, Gu Xiuyi felt shocking. Ji Ruan fell, as if a hole had been cut in his heart.
His hands holding Ji Ruan tightened slightly, and the anger in his eyes could not be concealed.
Song Ling stepped forward and stared condescendingly: “What else do you have to say?”
Lin Qing’s eyes moved, but his eyes were not focused, and he murmured like a lunatic: “I’m not wrong…”
“We…we happened I got into an argument, and then I fell off the boat during the scuffle. I’m not wrong. He just hurt someone at fault
.
“Take a step back, even if Ji Ruan accidentally pushed you down during the dispute, so what? Do you expect me to stand on your side and blame Ji Ruan?”
“Do you think it is possible?”
Perhaps it was because facing Ji Ruan, Gu Xiuyi’s words were extraordinarily gentle, falling in the empty lobby, so gentle that it seemed strange.
“You probably haven’t figured out a fact.” He finally threw Lin Qing a cold look: “This is the Gu family, not a place where you have the right to speak.”
No matter what he said, he gently comforted Ji Ruan, and Ji Ruan Pushing away his hand and sitting up straight, he shook his head to indicate that he was fine.
Gu Xiuyi didn’t force it, but instead took hold of Ji Ruan’s icy fingertips, leaned back slightly on the sofa, and said in a nonchalant tone, “Mr. Lin is probably injured, and he has some mental problems.”
“But it’s okay, Since it happened at the Gu family banquet, we will naturally be responsible.”
He stroked Ji Ruan’s smooth nails: “I will ask a doctor in mental illness to examine you and provide follow-up long-term treatment. Don’t worry.”
As soon as the words fell, there was a sigh of relief from the crowd.
Lin Qing didn’t understand, and looked around blankly.
Bai Yue was trembling all over, and looked at Gu Xiuyi with horror on his face: “You, you want to put him in a mental hospital?!” Gu Xiuyi glanced at him lightly
: “Why, do you want to accompany him?”
The ice knife cut Bai Yue’s body so cold that it was bone-chilling, and he immediately staggered two steps in a hoarse voice.
Lin Qing was completely awakened by a sentence from a mental hospital. He opened his eyes wide and broke away from his bodyguard: “You want to lock me up?!”
” Gu Xiuyi, you want to lock me up?!”
Is there no law in the world for people locked up in a mental hospital?!”
He smiled and shook his head slightly: “It’s up to you whether you are sick or not, and the doctor will give the correct diagnosis.”
This laughing man made everyone present Everyone shuddered.
Lin Qing was stunned for a second, and his breathing began to become short of breath.
In a panic, he suddenly looked at Gu Chuli, as if he had finally realized something, and shouted in a sharp voice:
“Didn’t you say that the surveillance is broken?! Gu Chuli, you hurt me?!”
His eyes were so red that they were about to bleed: “You did it on purpose. Isn’t it?!”
The eyes of the onlookers looked over.
Gu Chuli was tsk-tsk-tutting loudly to see Lin Qing jumping over the wall in a hurry, when he was suddenly pointed at and became the focus of the audience, he almost jumped up: “Fuck, are you okay? When the fuck did I tell you! Don’t spout blood, the cruise ship surveillance is broken Is it something I have to show off? I want to tell you?!”
” You are the second young master of the Gu family, didn’t you tell Bai Yue and then let him tell me! Didn’t you tell me to do this knowing that there is surveillance? !”
“Don’t talk nonsense! What the hell is good for me if I let you do this? I don’t think it’s embarrassing, I don’t want face?!” Song Ling sighed: “Mr. Lin, if the surveillance is broken, we
will It’s repaired, doesn’t it look like we can’t find a worker?”
He raised his hand to tell the bodyguards to move quickly.
“You… um!” The bodyguard directly covered Lin Qing’s mouth and took him out.
Gu Chuli was suddenly identified, and he was so frightened that he lost his mind: “No, you all look at me, I would not do this kind of thing – it is you, Bai Yue, yes! It must be you, you are the one who asked Lin Qing to come out and make trouble Yes!”
“I didn’t!” Bai Yue panicked, “I just told him that the surveillance on the deck was broken, and I didn’t let him jump into the river!”
Gu Chuli was trembling with anger: “You fart! Yes, I just mentioned the monitoring thing to you. You remember it so clearly and you turned around and told others that you didn’t do it on purpose, would anyone believe you?” “You!”
Bai Yue jumped up in a hurry: ” You Think you can pick it clean? The plan was decided by everyone, and Lin Qing was the one you brought in!”
Ji Ruan’s mouth twitched uncontrollably, stunned by the dog biting dog, dog biting dog, dog biting dog again .
“Enough!” Gu Changyun slapped the wheelchair hard, coughed for a long while, propped himself up and stared at Gu Xiuli: “Man, you brought it in, right?… Do you remember that today is my birthday banquet? Ah?! “
“You have lost all my face!”
Gu Chuli knelt down as soon as his legs softened, speaking incoherently: “No, grandpa, oh, I did bring him here, but he was introduced to me by Bai Yue, I just did Bai Yue a small favor, I didn’t expect it to be so ugly…I…” “
–Bai Yue said it! He said there was a way to embarrass Ji Ruan. I admit that I really didn’t have good intentions.” I will help him, but I didn’t mean to embarrass you, and it will be too late for me to stop it later!”
Bai Yue sneered: “Don’t call yourself so clean, it wasn’t like that when you excitedly said you wanted to participate.”
“I didn’t know you were so shameless!”
Gu Changyun leaned on the wheelchair and let out an impatient “hoho” sound: “Sure enough, what kind of life is what kind of child, a poor family who becomes a mistress can only give birth to this kind of child.”
“Planting an evil that can’t be seen.”
He was indeed so sick that he was unconscious, and he said everything, more like talking to himself than saying: “Fortunately, I have suppressed you all these years, and I didn’t let the two of you Forcing the poor old man of my original partner to go out and show off, otherwise… otherwise I won’t be able to keep my old face…” Ji Ruan could clearly feel that Gu Xiuyi’s arms tightened a bit, and he cast his eyes worriedly.
Gu Xiuyi patted him on the waist, and smiled: “It’s okay.”
There were still sporadic guests around, and Gu Changyun’s words made everyone look sideways, and it also hit Gu Chuli’s pain point.
He put away his humiliating posture in front of the wheelchair, and slowly straightened his back: “Grandpa, you really have no conscience.”
Everyone watched Gu Xiuli’s expression gradually become indifferent:
“Isn’t it you who forced the original partner to death?” “Is it?”
There were repeated gasps in the lobby.
Gu Changyun’s eyes suddenly opened wide, and the two cloudy eyeballs seemed to fall out. He couldn’t believe that this grandson, who had always been low-browed and pleasing to the eye, dared to speak to him like this: “You…you!…” “Xiaoli!”
Fang Lan He stumbled forward and pulled his arm: “What are you talking about, shut up!”
“Let him talk.”
Gu Xiuyi got up from the sofa at some point, and the crystal chandelier in the lobby reflected light spots on his face , clearly looking at the ice buried deep in his eyes.
He held Ji Ruan expressionlessly, but the veins on the back of his hands were exposed. It was the product of extreme restraint but unwillingness to exert force. It seemed that Ji Ruan was the thread that pulled him. Because of Ji Ruan, he was able to calm down with a calm and rational appearance. Stand still.
“Look, no one wants to see you.” Gu Chuli chuckled at the old man: “My mother’s status is not very good, but we didn’t kill Jiang Ling. Jiang Ling doesn’t love my dad, and dad doesn’t love her either. What kind of feelings do you have? All she wants is to get divorced and go away.”
“It was you who didn’t want her to go, and you were the one who locked her up in a mental hospital until she died because you were afraid of losing face!”
“If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have been blind for so many years, Jiang Ling would have lived a good life, maybe she would have married a second time, and Gu Xiuyi wouldn’t hate me so much…”
He gritted his teeth: “Obviously I just want to have a foothold in the Gu family, if it wasn’t for you, Gu Xiuyi’s mother wouldn’t have died, and my mother and I wouldn’t have had to live so hard, all of this is obviously your fault!”
Gu Changyun had long since lost the ability to take care of himself, and was paralyzed at this moment.
Like a pile of rotten meat in the wheelchair, his chest heaved violently, his face was blue and purple from anger and lack of oxygen, and his neck was red and blue.
“You… stay, ho ho… shut up!”
“What? Are you afraid of people talking about it after you have done all the evil things?”
Gu Changyun braced himself up, clutched Gu Chuli’s skirt with his thin hands, and exhausted his last strength: “…I don’t have a grandson like you, you, you will never get a point from the Gu family…a point…uh!”
He suddenly His eyes widened in horror, and he covered his chest, his facial features were distorted by the extreme pain, and his face, as old and dark as old tree bark, kept trembling.
Ji Ruan stood at the side not too far away, only to see Gu Changyun’s whole body suddenly convulsed and twisted like a zombie in a movie, and then splashed a mouthful of blood onto Gu Chuli’s face with a wow.
His eyes were wide open, and he gradually slid down from the wheelchair, unsupported as if all the bones in his body had melted, and blood continued to vomit from his mouth.
All the changes happened in a short moment, Ji Ruan staggered back with his pupils constricted, and his eyes were covered in the next second.
At the same time, screams of terror came from all around.
Gu Xiuyi hugged him tightly into his arms and took off his external device with his backhand. The noisy world suddenly faded away and became blurred. Only Gu Xiuyi’s steady breathing rose and fell clearly by his left ear.
“Don’t look, baby.”
He stroked Ji Ruan’s trembling shoulders and neck repeatedly, trying to pass on his body temperature: “It’s okay, don’t be afraid baby, don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid…” At ten o’clock in the evening
,
the grandiose luxury travel on the Yugu River The cruise ship made an emergency stop.
The 80th birthday that Gu Changyun longed to be witnessed and blessed by the people of the whole country turned into a bloody grave.
In the hospital, the lights in the emergency corridor were as pale as a mortuary, Gu Xiuyi sat on the bench with Ji Ruan in his arms and said nothing.
Gu Chuli’s whole body was covered with blood, and now it had dried up and turned black, his eyes stared blankly at the void and remained motionless, even though Fang Lan cried and wiped her face and called him, there was no response.
“Son…my son…”
“Little Li, say something, don’t scare mom…”
Ji Ruan saw Gu Chuli move suddenly, his eyes focused on Fang Lan’s face, tears suddenly fell down, and the blood on his face fainted.
“Mom…” he said softly, and because he was so frightened to the extreme, he showed an expression close to a smile: “I pissed him off…”
“I pissed my grandpa off in front of so many people… …Hahahaha I’m done, Mom, we can no longer be in the Gu family…”
Fang Lan broke down in tears: “What Gu family! We don’t want it anymore! I don’t blame you or your son, yes, it’s his own evil that will be rewarded with evil, and he also I can’t survive this month…Moreover, it’s not necessarily your death, it’s not your fault…”
But Ji Ruan knew that it was impossible for Gu Changyun to survive. Such a large amount of vomiting blood should be caused by a ruptured tumor or lung cancer Late terminal haemorrhage.
If he was sent to the hospital in time, he might still be saved, but the conditions on the cruise ship were limited, and it took a lot of time to transfer to the hospital. It was luck that he didn’t die directly in the ambulance. Now there is almost no possibility of surviving.
Gu Xiuyi was sitting next to him, holding his hand quietly, not showing any sadness or not being sad.
Ji Ruan squeezed his palm lightly, and he recovered his senses and smiled at Ji Ruan, hugging Ji Ruan into his arms: “Why baby? Thirsty, or hungry?”
“None,”
Ji Ruan shook his head, brows Frowning slightly, he stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around his neck: “I just want to hug you.”
Gu Xiuyi held the back of Ji Ruan’s head, fingers stuck in his soft hair, as if his heart softened: ” Why are you so obedient?”
Ji Ruan nodded, rubbed against the side of his neck, and got a kiss on the tip of his ear.
Kacha-
the door of the emergency room was pushed open, Ji Ruan and Gu Xiuyi followed the prestige together, saw the doctor take off his mask, and shook his head with a heavy expression:
“We did our best, sorry.”
At that moment, Ji Ruan felt that Gu Xiuyi exhaled a long breath, which was obviously heavy to the point of lamentation, but it was light when he exhaled, as if those emotions that had accumulated over the years finally turned to light.
He just hugged Ji Ruan quietly.
Ji Ruan knew that Gu Xiuyi didn’t take him home directly after disembarking, but insisted on waiting in the hospital for tens of minutes with extreme indifference, probably to hear the result with his own ears.
After a long while, Gu Xiuyi opened his eyes, his expression was unprecedentedly calm, he hugged Ji Ruan horizontally, ignored the eyes of the surroundings, and left.
I only left a sentence for Song Ling: “The funeral will be planned, so don’t worry too much.” After returning home, Ji Ruan took a hot bath and then nestled into the bed. After a while, Gu Xiuyi also threw the quilt in and hug him.
Ji Ruan’s body was a little cold, and the hot bath seemed to only work for a short while, and there was no way to really warm Ji Ruan’s body.
So much so that when Gu Xiuyi hugged him, the kid’s feet were icy cold.
Gu Xiuyi felt uncomfortable: “I’m sorry, baby.”
Ji Ruan was pillowed in his arms, the room was dimly lit, and his eyes looked extraordinarily soft: “No, why did you say that?”
Gu Xiuyi traced Ji Ruan’s eyebrows and eyes with distress: “I’m tired today, and you’re scared too, aren’t you?”
Gu Changyun’s last sip of blood did leave some shadows on him. He pursed his lips and looked at Gu Xiuyi. Under such an intimate conversation, he didn’t choose to hide it, and stretched out his arms to hold it The other party’s waist:
“Well… a little bit.”
Gu Xiuyi kissed his forehead: “Blame me…”
Ji Ruan shook his head, slightly bent his eyes, and touched Gu Xiuyi’s chin with his fingers: “You are also very Hard work, the stubble has come out.”
He looked very serious, as if he really felt that Gu Xiuyi’s stubble was caused by being tired, and there was some distress in his words.
Gu Xiuyi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, he grabbed Bai Shengsheng’s fingertips on his lips and pecked: “Honey, the appearance of my stubble has nothing to do with Xin not working hard.”
Ji Ruan blinked, her long eyelashes sweeping and sweeping in a daze You were naive: “Ah… But you didn’t have any stubble at night before?”
Gu Xiuyi tapped his temples, turned on his phone and showed him the time: “At this time in the past, you would have already slept like a pig , Of course I don’t know.”
“Why am I a pig!”
Ji Ruan kicked him with a smile, but Gu Xiuyi clamped his cold feet with his calf.
Gu Xiuyi lowered his head and rubbed his chin against him: “I kiss you at night, you really don’t know, the more you kiss, the more sound you sleep.”
Ji Ruan’s ears turned red and his throat choked, “You really did kiss me secretly!” “
Yes ” Gu Xiuyi held his face and moved closer: “So how many more kisses?”
As he spoke, he kissed Ji Ruan’s face, the stubble rubbing against his smooth and tender skin made Ji Ruan tremble, and his tailbone was so tender .
“Stop, stop…” Ji Ruan tried his best to push Gu Xiuyi away, and lay on his back on the pillow panting.
The skin under the eyelids was gently rubbed by Gu Xiuyi with his fingertips: “It’s red, does it hurt baby?” It does
n’t hurt, but it’s a bit unbearable.
But before he could open his mouth, he was pecked at the same place again: “This time it won’t hurt anymore.”
It seemed that kissing was a good cure.
Ji Ruan was amused by him again, and after panting, he lightly placed his palm on Gu Xiuyi’s chest, with a serious expression on his face: “Are you in a better mood now?”
Gu Xiuyi was taken aback.
In the silent night, Gu Xiuyi quietly stared at Ji Ruan’s clear eyes that were sunken deep in the blanket, his heart was wrapped like a child’s soft palm, and he carefully and solemnly told him not to be unhappy.
Gu Xiuyi was not unhappy.
When Gu Changyun died, his first feeling was that the shackles on his body had been lifted, but then he felt a burst of unspeakable emptiness.
Because he suddenly realized that even though he hated Gu Changyun and everyone in the Gu family, Gu Changyun’s death would not change anything.
His mother will not come back because of this, and the lives of the rest of the Gu family will not be better or worse because of this, everyone is crazy walking dead.
The only difference between Gu Xiuyi and them is that he has Ji Ruan by his side.
He has a lover who hugs him, kisses him, and sparkles around him like a pixie.
Not everyone can have such good luck.
Unknowingly, his gaze became extremely soft, and he pulled Ji Ruan into his arms with great care, and gently stroked his delicate back of the neck.
“I’m relieved, thank you baby.”
——————————–
That was one hell of a ride, Though, I am still curious about the og novel protagonist Ji Ruan’s cousin read about.
Like does the paper man Gu Xiuyu truly did not care about og Ji Ruan?
or the world mc is currently living in, is not the novel at all, but some kind of parallel universe or an independent world that doesn’t follow the novel.
Would be nice to read about Lin Qing guy backstory too. I wonder how he became crazy.
Where did og Ji Ruan go??
Will this story follow the novel path if it was og Ji Ruan in his own body instead of mc?
I probably missed something that can answer one of those questions QAQ
I have so many questions that won’t probably be answered, but nevertheless I’m satisfied with the fluff.
