Xiao JingLin felt as if he was in a stove as searing flames burned his internal organs and skin from the inside out. His lips were pale and chapped, while his throat felt swollen and itchy. His injured arm, which was pulled, felt all the more painful under such stress.
However, he felt inexplicably at ease, and the discomfort on his body was miraculously relieved when the cool soft skin touched his cheeks, followed by a soothing voice.
“Mm……” He wanted to reassure the woman, so he tried his best to murmur back softly while enduring the pain in his throat.
Gu MingYue did not expect a response initially, but when it happened, she glanced sideways at the man’s face and pondered for a while, before replying in a teasing way, “Since I was the one who got Young Master laid, naturally, I should be dedicated to Young Master’s safety! I would never be so rude as to sleep and run~”
In his comatose state, Xiao JingLin immediately wanted to bite his tongue and punish himself for being softhearted. He must’ve been mad from the illness that he just had to let the woman know that he was not completely unconscious. He could’ve been a quiet sleeping beauty and enjoyed her care, but no~~~ Served him right!
Also, if the chance ever arises, he would make this woman regret her actions of being disrespectful towards him! One day, he would definitely regain all the dignity that he lost!
From then onwards, he would demonstrate his majestic and powerful self as a man, and she would only be able to lie underneath him and be played day and night!
Young Master Xiao, who was daydreaming about being the one wearing the pants, did not notice that, at this time, he was already subconsciously thinking of a future with the hateful Gu MingYue, who constantly made him grit his teeth with hatred and helplessness.
What else could this phenomenon indicate?
Although Gu MingYue’s actions were extremely risky, her drastic and adventurous executions easily made Xiao JingLin take heart in her. Also, she aroused various psychological activities within him, causing him to spend most of his time thinking about her within his mind.
The man’s behaviour was an extremely good sign, which meant that the progress bar of the task had started to move in a positive direction.
However, she can no longer be so rash in the future, and she must start taking cautious steps after consolidating the results carefully.
And also, guessing from her instincts and the timeline, she estimated that the original heroine would make her move and act soon.
The protagonist’s halo was as infinite as Gu MingYue had expected, because after carrying Xiao JingLin on her back a long way, there were zero signs of lingering enemies. Also, it seemed like QingFeng Group had already received the urgent news, and a huge group was already waiting outside on the main road. A few more distances and they would be able to join up with the rest.
However, the main issue now was, how long can her physical strength last…
Damn! This forest is so much bigger than I thought, and it’s so difficult to find the way out!
There was no indication that Zuo XiaoNan had a poor sense of direction in the original plot, which was why Gu MingYue should’ve been able to tell her directions clearly. Though this body was compatible with Gu MingYue’s soul, she would still not be Zuo XiaoNan entirely, so some defects would surely be unavoidable.
Within moments, Gu MingYue’s entire back was already drenched with sweat as she carried the man. At the same time, she needed to observe the situation around her in all directions to make sure that she could respond immediately if a sudden situation arose.
“Young Master?” She called out tentatively with a faint and lingering worry within her voice.
Xiao JingLin did not know how long he had been lying against Gu MingYue’s back, but he clearly felt the woman’s breathing gradually transitioning from gentle to rapid, and also the wetness coming from her back. It was really difficult for her to carry his weight, especially in such a scenario when she was also not 100% in the perfect state.
Stupid woman. She should’ve just left him in the warehouse just now, as it was surely easier for her to escape and find a rescue team for him.
“Of course not! How can I rest assured knowing I left Young Master in that warehouse alone?! I must be together with Young Master at all times!”
Gu MingYue’s firm tone shook Xiao JingLin’s chaotic headache, making him realize that he had voiced out his thoughts without realizing it.
Was the fever causing this confusion? The corner of his lips flattened as the man pursed his thin lips tightly together.
However, he could not deny that the woman’s resolute voice made him feel inexplicably safe and reassuring, and that he could safely do so without any hesitation.
Had she always been such a reliable person? A sudden realization crashed through Xiao JingLin’s heart as he refreshed his understanding of her.
“Just put me down and… rest… cough! I…If it’s too tiring……”
“Young Master, please stop talking. Trust me, we’ll be home in no time.” Gu MingYue said through gritted teeth as she tried to preserve her vanishing physical strength. However, can this man stop spewing such nonsense? There was no way she would let him go, what if she took a rest and lost the willpower to stand up after that?!
Trust you… Hadn’t I been doing that all this time… Home… Our Home……
The word ‘home’ had never felt so warm and comforting in his entire lifetime.
Just when Gu MingYue’s physical strength was about to falter once and for all, Shang Ren finally showed up belatedly.
“What a coincidence that you came! Hurry up and carry the Young Master!”
Enjoy~
