Xu Zhaozhao has always adhered to the philosophy that "the more you know, the faster you die."

She never asked Gu Qingyan why he was wearing Buddhist prayer beads.

He's not a real monk.

My mouth was faster than my brain; by the time I realized what was happening, the question had already been asked.

Her hand, which was fiddling with the prayer beads, paused, and she slowly lowered it.

The corridor of the VIP ward was already deserted, and the environment suddenly became quiet.

Gu Qingyan didn't speak, but tightened his arms around her and gently buried his head in the crook of her neck.

Xu Zhaozhao didn't expect him to answer.

If Gu Qingyan wanted to say something, he would have said it already. Asking such a question is just asking for humiliation!

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Zhaozhao's legs started to go numb from standing, and she began to feel sleepy.

A murmured voice reached her ears: "Atonement."

?

Although the voice was very soft, it was spoken right next to her ear, and Xu Zhaozhao wasn't deaf.

Xu Zhaozhao heard what he said clearly, but she wasn't sure if it was the two words she was thinking of.

He asked in confusion, "What?"

"nothing."

Gu Qingyan objected, as if those two words weren't actually his.

He straightened up, took Xu Zhaozhao's hand, and returned to the ward.

Wow, that really piqued people's curiosity, but then they stopped talking.

Fortunately, Xu Zhaozhao was not a very curious person to begin with.

Click.

The ward door was closed, and Gu Qingyan spoke again.

"Zhaozhao, shouldn't you fulfill the conditions you promised me?"

Xu Zhaozhao froze.

In order to see Jiang Ting and Ding Rong, she had no choice but to temporarily bow down to the evil forces.

Gritting her teeth, she crawled into bed, grabbed her blanket, and moved to the side, eventually settling on the accompanying bed next to her.

"Here, you can have the bed."

"What a good child."

Gu Qingyan's face was expressionless. He simply walked to Xu Zhaozhao's side, raised his hand and touched the back of her head, finally stopping at the back of her neck.

"You asked me to sleep with you, and you actually did it on the cot. Tsk."

"Haha..." Xu Zhaozhao lowered her head somewhat guiltily, "That VIP ward is more expensive, I have to make my money back, right?"

Although the beds in VIP wards are larger than those in regular wards, if two adults were to lie down in one...

She could only curl up in Gu Qingyan's arms; just thinking about it was...exciting.

Gu Qingyan suddenly lowered his head, whispered in Xu Zhaozhao's ear, and said through gritted teeth, "Am I not more expensive than this hospital room?"

"Sleep with me..." she added slowly, "and it's more cost-effective."

This really burned out Xu Zhaozhao's CPU.

Are you comparing prices from three different vendors?

"I don't care, I'm going to sleep here."

Xu Zhaozhao immediately lay down on the cot and pretended to be asleep with her eyes closed.

We absolutely have to exploit this bug today!

In the end, this bug was forcibly fixed—Gu Qingyan simply had someone come and dismantle the accompanying bed…

This is absolutely outrageous!

Xu Zhaozhao was exhausted after a long day and nestled into his arms.

An arm wrapped around her waist quite rudely.

The man's muscular physique was so close, his white shirt revealing his silhouette, and he looked...sexy.

An absurd idea popped into Xu Zhaozhao's mind.

A handsome and aloof movie star... will he get ticklish?

Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth!

Xu Zhaozhao subtly poked his side with her mischievous finger.

I could feel the tension in his muscles.

Xu Zhaozhao suppressed her laughter, not daring to laugh out loud, her face flushed red.

With his other hand, he gently rubbed Xu Zhaozhao's earlobe and whispered, "Just say you don't want to sleep."

"What? You want to call the doctor?"

Xu Zhaozhao's voice sounded slightly smug.

Calling the doctor would only embarrass Gu Qingyan.

A wicked guy who hogs patients' beds.

"I have far more ways to make you sleepy than a doctor."

It didn't sound fake; his voice sounded somewhat dangerous in the darkness, and the hand rubbing her earlobe became even heavier.

Xu Zhaozhao didn't dare to say anything more and quickly closed her eyes to go to sleep.

The familiar scent around her diluted the somewhat unpleasant smell of disinfectant in the ward, and Xu Zhaozhao fell asleep in no time.

With nothing to worry about, Xu Zhaozhao slept very soundly.

Ring ring...

The ringing of her cell phone by the bed woke her up, and she frowned slightly.

Still half asleep, I reached for my incessantly ringing phone and held it to my ear. "What are you calling for? Are you not going to live to see tomorrow? Can't a person get any sleep?"

There was a long silence before Yan Jie's voice came through, tinged with helplessness, "Sister Zhao, it's already three o'clock in the afternoon."

She was worried something had happened to Xu Zhaozhao and kept calling her, but she hadn't even gotten out of bed yet.

Um?

Is it 3 PM?

Xu Zhaozhao sat up in bed with a jolt, the intense sunlight that could penetrate the curtains stinging her eyes.

Gu Qingyan was no longer there.

My body relaxed unconsciously, and Sister Yan's words came through the microphone again.

"Sure, Sister Zhao, you good citizen who did a good deed should sleep in a little longer."

Still a little dazed after being praised, Xu Zhaozhao modestly replied, "It's nothing, just a small matter."

After answering, I realized, how did Sister Yan know that she had acted bravely yesterday?

Apart from the medical staff on the rooftop and Gu Qingyan, no one else should know about this, right?

"That's quite unusual." Sister Yan seemed a little emotional. "After all, this is the first time you've made it onto a trending topic that isn't negative. Wouldn't you say it's a milestone?"

Holy crap? It's trending on social media?

"Sister Yan, talk to you later."

As soon as Xu Zhaozhao finished speaking, she hung up on Sister Yan and quickly opened Weibo.

The popularity of Gu Qingyan's absurd adventure remains high.

However, Xu Zhaozhao's popularity is also quite high, second only to that explosive Weibo post.

#Xu Zhaozhao bravely saves a woman attempting suicide#

#Xu Zhaozhao's Broken and Damaged Makeup#

...

Xu Zhaozhao clicked on it.

This time, it wasn't a marketing account that leaked the information; instead, it was a picture posted by a passerby.

Dark Sky: Before she was rescued, I couldn't believe that the person standing in front of me was a real celebrity. I can't believe how tragic it would have been if she hadn't stepped forward today! [Image]

The picture shows Xu Zhaozhao right after her face was cut by a rock.

Wearing blood-stained pajamas, Lina Belle's head was slightly tilted to the side, the fine bloodstains particularly noticeable on her fair face, her eyes still filled with undried tears, and her black hair fluttering in the wind.

Xu Zhaozhao was slightly surprised.

You took such a good picture of me, are you out of your mind?!

[Is this Xu Zhaozhao? I didn't even recognize her at first glance.]

[I'm stunned by this picture. I'd heard about it before—Xu Zhaozhao saving lives at a hospital in Beijing. Although no photos were taken, it was already widely reported, and now there are even pictures.]

[This woman is without makeup! She looks so disheveled, I really want to make her cry (I'm a little creepy, wanting to hug this beautiful woman). But I still have to say, she looks even more battered than someone with war-damaged makeup.]

[Oh my god! She's a celebrity! A pretty face with no talent, yet she injured her face to save someone. I'm so moved I could cry! [crying]]

Although Xu Zhaozhao is usually quite annoying, to be honest, saving someone who was contemplating suicide was really cool!

...

After seeing these comments, Xu Zhaozhao finally understood where those trending search titles came from.

After taking a closer look at my photo, I realized it was quite fragmented.

But I suggest you don't break it next time; it's too much of a waste of your energy.

This is indeed one of the more positive trending topics Xu Zhaozhao has made since transmigrating into the book.

Many people spoke up for her, but inevitably there were also dissenting voices.

[I don't believe it. Who saves someone like this? Her face is as pale as a ghost, and she's supposed to save someone? Shouldn't the doctors be standing around waiting to treat her? [Speechless]]

[How can a rescue be so beautifully staged? I'm speechless. This is obviously a staged photo, a marketing ploy to portray a mentally ill person!! Disgraced celebrities should be removed from the entertainment industry!!]
