Chapter 86 His confession: You and I are the most compatible...

Guo Qingyu said nothing.

The wind blew from the river, creating ripples.

Wen Yi's thoughts also rippled slightly, and countless guesses flashed through her mind. In the end, the more she thought about it, the more scared she became, and her back felt cold.

She stared at Guo Qingyu for a long time, and finally just shook her head slightly.

The human heart is unpredictable.

Although Guo Qingyu knew her well, his words were always vague and half-truthful. She could never fully trust him, and she didn't want to guess anymore.

She turned and walked back, and he immediately followed her with a clattering sound.

She wanted to shake him off, to get as far away from him as possible, but she forgot that the heavy doll costume on her body would not allow her to run.

"Why are you running?"

"If you don't chase me, I won't have to run."

"Okay, I won't chase you anymore."

He really stopped and asked, "What are you angry about?"

Wen Yi also stopped and slowly turned around: "I don't want to play the role of a doll anymore."

"Why? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Don't you understand?" Wen Yi said, "I don't want to play with you anymore."

After a moment of silence, Guo Qingyu said:

"If it weren't for this doll, you would have just met Gu Yifeng head-on. I don't need to tell you what the result would have been."

He scoffed. "You should thank me for my bad idea."

"Thank you?" Wen Yi suddenly pulled off her hood, took a deep breath of fresh air, and said to Guo Qingyu with suppressed anger, "Thank you for what? Thank you for keeping me in the dark?"

"What did I lie to you about?"

"Why did you come back with me? Why did you do all this?"

The two of them made eye contact through the small holes in the hoods.

"I want the truth."

Guo Qingyu finally spoke slowly, his tone carrying a hint of meaning she couldn't understand: "Because only if I come back with you, the ending could be different."

"What do you mean? Whose ending will be different?" Wen Yi was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Or are you targeting Gu Yifeng?"

"Silly..." Guo Qingyu seemed to be choked by her. "... Wife, can't I just come for you?"

"For me?" She was even more confused. "I don't believe it. We are obviously not familiar with each other."

"Unfamiliar?"

She noticed his aura suddenly change and took a step back involuntarily.

He took off his hood and looked at her, his eyes bloodshot. "Wen Yi! Our friendship is like a life-or-death relationship, and you just say 'unfamiliar'?!"

His voice suddenly rose, attracting the attention of people around him.

The two of them tacitly agreed not to speak again.

The breeze from the river ruffled her hair and disturbed the silence between them.

Guo Qingyu turned around and walked along the side of the ship.

Wen Yi couldn't see his expression clearly, but she followed him unconsciously.

"Wen Yi."

When they reached a deserted corner, Guo Qingyu suddenly stopped and called her.

"Um?"

"Do you remember the first time we met?"

“…” Her memory was a little fuzzy and she was speechless for a moment.

"Forgot?"

He turned sideways, looking at the surging river, a self-deprecating smile on his lips:

"We have also met again many times in the intersecting time and space."

She didn't know what he wanted to say, but she felt the long-lost sincerity from his almost aggrieved words.

"How many times have I saved you in Yunchuan and Yunhu?"

"That time at Qingluan Mountain, I was just bored so I went with you."

"I stayed with you at Moon Gap Mountain to recover from your injuries. Did you think I was on vacation?... I showed up time and time again when you needed me most, and you forgot everything."

“…” Wen Yi felt that this conversation should not continue.

Perhaps because the sunlight was too strong, her eyes were a little dry.

The boat rocked slightly, shattering his voice: "It's been like this since we met."

"Like what?"

He looked at the boats passing by on the river: "It looks like a boat going upstream."

"What do you mean?"

"Follow it upstream, the way is long and difficult."

She followed his gaze and said, "Since the road ahead is difficult, we might as well go with the flow."

"I tried." He turned his gaze to her, "but I found that I was unwilling to give up."

"What are you unwilling to accept?"

"I'm not willing to accept that you could have had a better choice, but you chose Gu Yifeng."

He felt helpless: "I have always been standing beside you. But you never see me."

"Don't be like this." Wen Yi tightened her grip on the railing slightly, "I'm already his wife."

As if stung by these words, he sneered: "Wife? Is this your choice?"

"What else?"

"Do you want me to remind you that in the original timeline, you weren't really together!"

"But now—"

"So what?" he interrupted sharply. "This wasn't your choice."

His tone was a little excited. "I said before I came here that I hope you can make a self-interested choice. Instead of passively accepting your fate."

"No, he is my active choice."

"Wen Yi." He took a deep breath and said patiently, "You can definitely make better choices. You and Gu Yifeng are not suitable."

He didn't give her any more chances, "You and I are the most suitable couple."

Wen Yi didn't expect him to be so straightforward. Her heart was filled with turbulent waves, far more turbulent than the Yunlan River.

She heard memories coming like a tide, stirring up echoes in her heart, but she could not grasp any shape. In the end, it turned into loneliness and flowed completely into the sea.

She thought silently, how can love be measured by whether it is compatible or not?

There seemed to be a slight sound coming from the pillar behind them, but they had no time to pay attention to it at the moment.

Wen Yi pursed her lips: "No matter what, between him and me, it is a fact that cannot be changed."

"Why can't it be changed?" He asked casually, "Otherwise, why would I be here?"

Wen Yi suddenly looked up, so shocked that she couldn't even muster a single expression: "What did you say?!"

"I originally disdained to compete with him for you because I was sure you wouldn't choose me."

"I never do business at a loss."

"But now I've changed my mind."

He looked at her seriously: "I have a chance to win, I'm willing to take a gamble."

"No!" she blurted out angrily, "What are you thinking! Gu Yifeng and I even have a child."

"Once the timeline changes, I don't care whether you have children or not." His tone sank, "Even if I have children, so what? I can raise them."

Wen Yi was so angry that she fell backwards. Was this a question of whether or not he could afford to support her? He was rushing to be her stepfather?

Wow, this kind of awareness of treating other people’s children as one’s own is something that even Mencius would have to admire.

She tried hard to control her surging emotions: "...You are forcibly rewriting my life, not loving me!"

Guo Qingyu smiled: "Love? Love is just an illusion caused by hormones."

"What I want to give you is not just illusory love—"

Before he finished speaking, his eyes moved, his sharp gaze swept across the distance, and suddenly stopped.

"It's Zhou Yazheng!"

He raised his hand and pointed in the direction where the figure disappeared.

Wen Yi suddenly turned around and glanced at the crowd behind him, but he only saw a black figure passing by them and quickly disappearing into the crowd.

“Where?!”

"That!"

Guo Qingyu quickly put on his hood and rushed over: "Let's go!"

The two "reactors" chased after them at the fastest speed.

Wen Yi had just run two steps and when she passed a pillar beside her, her foot slipped and she stepped on something hard.

She looked down and saw a box of pills lying quietly at her feet.

But why is there a box of medicine here?

She didn't see clearly what the medicine was, and didn't have time to think about it, so she continued to chase Guo Qingyu forward.

Guo Qingyu tapped his earphones as he ran, his tone icy: "Xiao Yishan! What were you and Lu Zhiyu doing just now? Why didn't you report his coordinates immediately!"

*

In the laboratory, Xiao Yisan, Cao Mo and others were staring at the surveillance screen and pretending to type on the keyboard.

“…” The corners of their eyes twitched slightly and they exchanged innocent looks.

What are you doing?

Of course I was listening to the boss’s gossip!

Who would dare to believe such a ridiculous thing?! If Director Gu were present at this moment, I wonder what he would think.

The gossipy heart is satisfied, and a strong desire to share comes to mind. Who wants to go to work now? All they want is to open social media.

"Sorry, boss, we're...we're processing the data."

*

On the deck, Guo Qingyu and Wen Yi ran all the way.

The bulky doll costumes restricted their movements. Although the two ran out of breath, Zhou Yazheng had disappeared when they passed through the crowded crowd.

"Xiao Yishan, confirm the coordinates again!" Guo Qingyu ordered while panting.

"Sorry, boss, we are currently unable to locate Zhou Yazheng. We are continuing the search."

"Please keep your vision clear and intact."

"...It's useless!" Guo Qingyu gritted his teeth and turned to ask Wen Yi who had hurried over, "How are you feeling? Can you handle it?"

"I'm fine, I just feel a tightness in my chest from running... What should I do now? I've lost him again?"

"Keep searching, you'll find it."

The two began to look for Zhou Yazheng's shadow on the deck.

Suddenly a strong wind blew up on the river, whistling past the edge of the deck, and the clouds began to surge.

Wen Yi stopped and looked at the waves rolling on the river.

The doll costume increased the area of ​​force applied, and the strong wind almost made her lose her balance.

This gust of evil wind was unusual.

She frowned slightly, a feeling of unease rising in her heart.

Something is wrong.

"Guo Qingyu..." She spoke in a low voice, but her voice was drowned out by the wind.

The uneasiness in my heart became stronger and stronger.

Wen Yi was about to speak when she suddenly heard a "crack" sound of metal breaking above her head!

She subconsciously looked up——

A metal part of the air conditioner outdoor unit was loose from the vent above the deck and was hanging dangling in the air!

Wen Yi's face changed.

Oh shit, this feels familiar, what's going on?!

She tried desperately to retreat, but a gust of wind suddenly rushed towards her, like an invisible hand, pushing her hard under the metal block!

“Get out of the way!”

A loud cry came from my ears.

Guo Qingyu was standing not far ahead, and at this moment he looked up and saw the piece of metal.

He lunged at her, arms outstretched, trying to push her away.

Time is infinitely stretched at this moment.

Wen Yi looked up at the metal plate that was about to fall, and there was only one thought in her mind: she couldn't die here.

Guo Qingyu was rushing towards her, his movements slow and clumsy, his speed restricted by the doll costume.

He wanted to save her.

But it seemed that not only could he not save her, he might also get himself into trouble.

Wen Yi clenched her fists, ready to mobilize her special abilities.

At the critical moment, a white figure rushed out from her right!

His body was as fast as lightning. He reached out and hugged her, and together they rushed to the safe area on the left!

"Bang--!"

The block of metal finally fell and hit Wen Yi less than half a foot away from her side. Debris flew everywhere, shaking the deck!

He rolled over and over with her in his arms for two weeks, and finally stopped at the side of the ship.

Wen Yi collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath, her heart almost stopping. Could that be another...

She turned her head sharply and looked at the person who had saved her.

The wind hadn't died down, her frantic heartbeat hadn't stopped, and through the small hole in her hood, she could clearly see that face—

It’s Gu Yifeng.

She could hardly believe her eyes.

How could it be him?
