And so, the consequence of this excessive playing was that Xiao JingLin was now down with a high fever.
His clothes were back on his body as he lay on the ground with reddened cheeks. Gu MingYue frowned slightly as she checked the temperature on his forehead with the back of her hand, before touching his limbs, which were also scorching hot.
The current situation seemed bad.
However, logically speaking, male protagonists are generally as robust as a cockroach, and as an unspoken rule, they would never die unless it was a suicide.
Still, it’s honestly difficult to determine if having sex while seriously injured was a form of suicide…?
Furthermore, it was not a suitable time and place for such intense sex just now. In fact, according to the judgement of normal people, no sane person would do such crazy actions, regardless if they were still in danger… Not to mention Xiao JingLin’s gunshot injury and blood loss!
Although the location of this warehouse was pretty secluded, the probability of being discovered was still quite high.
However, Gu MingYue still decided to proceed with her plan!
It was not difficult to guess why, because this was precisely the moment when the man was most vulnerable, and he had no choice but to rely on her. Furthermore, she had just discovered the man’s deeply hidden M-attribute – which would most likely come into account when they were back safely. Hence, taking a step forward to save his life would definitely make the rewards extremely satisfying.
This was a rare opportunity that she could not miss!
She would seize this opportunity to completely block the possible connections between Xiao JingLin and AnYuan LiMei, and become an existence that cannot be replaced, ignored, or rejected by the man.
Furthermore, the fact that Xiao JingLin had a physical relationship with herself, according to the usual plot of a smut novel, the heroine would be heartbroken when she found out about this. Hence, the newly formed hatred and disappointment, together with the former bad blood between the two, will definitely come back and smack the man in the face fiercely. And after going through all the dog blood scenes, the misunderstandings between the male protagonist and the heroine would be cleared up, and they would live happily ever after~
Unfortunately, this time, they had no chance to clear their misunderstandings and fall in love with each other. In fact, with Gu MingYue here, they were already destined to be life-and-death enemies.
Great! It seems like I have taken the path of a vicious villainess this time instead of a cannon fodder! This feels surprisingly good~
In the dark warehouse, Gu MingYue, who was neatly dressed, changed the man’s filthy bandages before wiping down his face, neck, armpits, palms and soles with the remaining spirits and bandages, hoping that it would cool his body down while disinfecting the possible wounds. After she did this, Gu MingYue started exploring the warehouse in search of useful items, but unfortunately, it seemed as if the warehouse had been abandoned for decades, as nothing was found.
In any case, it would not do for Xiao JingLin to keep burning up from the fever. Furthermore, in addition to having no fever medicine here, there was also not much air circulation. Hence, in order for him to receive sufficient treatment for his illness, the two of them ha to leave this place as soon as possible.
Gu MingYue glanced at the man who was at least more than half a head taller than her as she quietly opened a few cans of expired canned food before swallowing them until she could not eat any more. This was because, judging from the look of the man, there was no way he would be able to leave this place without her help, hence she would need all the strength and energy she had to carry the man on such a long distance.
Besides, there was no knowing what the situation was outside after leaving the warehouse. Did the QingFeng Group receive news of the assassination and send support?
Under such unknown circumstances, Gu MingYue needed to be prepared for the worst, as there may yet be another tough battle to win.
The only weapons in hand now were a few daggers, two pistols, and a very small number of refilled magazines. Fortunately, the ammo capacity of the Glock 19 and the P250 were fifteen and fourteen rounds respectively, which was probably enough if there weren’t too many enemies lying in wait.
And so, after checking her gear, it was finally time to test the protagonist’s halo.
Gu MingYue squatted on the ground as she helped Xiao JingLin, who was weak and unconscious, to turn onto his back before placing his arms around her shoulders and lifting the man up with a force.
Ugh! He’s! So! Heavy!
Apparently, it seemed that it was not only the time to test the protagonist’s halo, but also the time to test her physical fitness…
This body better not fail me! Gu MingYue cheered and encouraged herself silently within her heart.
Gu MingYue knew that the man should be able to hear some voices even though he was in a coma, so she turned her head slightly to the side before placing a tender kiss on Xiao JingLin’s cheek. “Young Master, I will definitely get you back to safety!” She murmured softly in a loving tone.
I love how our FL is given the chance to plot something like a background final boss in this arc! Honestly, I feel like she had come a long way since arc 1~
I wanna apologize for the lack of updates recently! However, things had been slowing down at work recently and I’m hoping to release more chapters in the coming weeks to catch up AS IM SERIOUSLY BEHIND SCHEDULE OMFG!
Enjoy~
