Chapter 5: Sitting Up in Shock from Sickness
After hearing the news, Yuan Xin was disheartened and fell into the water in a trance. She was rescued and, under pressure from public opinion, married the second-rate man who saved her.
Finally, not long after learning that Mr. Tang had died because of her, the original body drank pesticide in despair at home...
Gu Qiuyue couldn't help but shiver all over as she sorted out the plot in the book. It was already seventy-five years ago, and there were only a few years left before the dawn of light. However, Old Tang died tragically for helping his original body in this darkest hour before dawn. How could she not feel guilty?
Although the original body's parents were finally rehabilitated, they died of grief after learning that their daughter had died tragically and their son had disappeared on the battlefield, and the Gu family was completely destroyed.
Xie Shiyu, who had been guarding Gu Qiuyue, was shocked to see Gu Qiuyue twitching all over and her forehead covered with cold sweat while she was sleeping. He quickly called a doctor to check her.
The doctor was busy taking Gu Qiuyue's temperature and listening to her heartbeat. Unexpectedly, Gu Qiuyue suddenly opened her eyes and asked, "What day is it today?"
"What?" The doctor was stunned.
Gu Qiuyue looked at Xie Shiyu again. Xie Shiyu said, "November 23rd," and then looked at his watch, "6:22 in the morning."
Before she finished speaking, Gu Qiuyue suddenly threw back the quilt. The needle of the IV drip slipped out of the blood vessel with her movement, and blood instantly gushed out from the back of her pale hand.
She didn't care about these things and pushed the doctor away to get out of bed. However, because she hadn't eaten for a long time and was so angry just now, her head felt dizzy and her legs went weak, and she almost fell down.
A strong hand held her arm, and a cold voice came from above her head, "If you are sick, just lie down and don't make a fuss!"
"You don't understand. I have something important to do right now."
Gu Qiuyue supported herself on the bedside table to steady herself, pulled her hand out of Xie Shiyu's, and said anxiously, "I'm fine now. I was just dizzy because I got up too fast. I have something urgent to attend to, so I'll leave now."
"Hey, wait!" Xie Shiyu quickly grabbed Gu Qiuyue, "Want to run?"
"Why are you running?" Gu Qiuyue paused impatiently and looked at the person who was holding her arm. Only then did she see Xie Shiyu's appearance clearly. He was wearing a neat green military uniform, with a tall and slender figure. His tough facial features showed his masculinity. He looked to be in his early twenties and had a calm and upright air.
"Are you a soldier?" Gu Qiuyue asked without hesitation.
Xie Shiyu nodded and asked again: "Yesterday..."
"No matter what you want to ask, can you come with me to a place first?" Gu Qiuyue interrupted him anxiously.
Xie Shiyu saw that the girl in front of him was really anxious, so he softened his expression and asked, "Are you really okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay," Gu Qiuyue said, pulling Xie Shiyu out the door. "I have a problem with my brain to joke with my own body."
The two of them ignored the doctor's shouting behind them and arrived at the hospital entrance. Gu Qiuyue pulled Xie Shiyu and walked towards the bus stop.
Xie Shiyu felt as if there was an electric current on his hand held by the girl, and it went numbly into his heart, but he still said: "Comrade, you better let me go first."
"Oh, sorry." Gu Qiuyue cried out and quickly let go of her hand.
Xie Shiyu felt his hands were empty and his heart was empty. He suppressed these messy emotions and hurriedly caught up with the girl in front of him and asked, "Where are you going? Back to the guesthouse?" He still remembered that she said she was staying in a guesthouse.
"Go to the military compound." Gu Qiuyue took the time to reply.
Before Xie Shiyu could ask anything else, the bus arrived. Gu Qiuyue hurriedly got on, and Xie Shiyu followed suit. "What are you doing going to the military compound?"
"Find someone." Gu Qiuyue was very annoyed. According to the plot in the book, Mr. Tang would send out the original body's letter of recommendation today. It was this letter of recommendation that would cost Mr. Tang's life. This was not a letter of recommendation, it was clearly a death letter!
The more he thought about Gu Qiuyue, the more her body trembled. Xie Shiyu subconsciously held her trembling wrist and said, "You look very bad. Why don't you go back to the hospital first?"
Just as he finished speaking, the bus arrived at the stop, but it was still some distance from the military compound. Gu Qiuyue hurriedly got off the bus and ran down the Wutong Road leading to the compound. Xie Shiyu was stunned for a moment before quickly catching up, shouting, "Slow down, be careful!"
Gu Qiuyue's lungs ached from running, and she didn't care what the people behind her were shouting. She only had one thought in mind: Hurry up! Hurry up! She had to stop Mr. Tang before his recommendation letter was sent out!
But when he ran to the gate of the military compound, he was stopped by the soldier on guard, "Comrade, who are you looking for?"
Gu Qiuyue supported herself on her knees and panted heavily. Even in the late autumn weather, beads of sweat covered her forehead. "I... I... I'm looking for..."
Before she could finish her words, the soldier standing guard straightened up and gave the person behind her a standard military salute: "Thank you, Captain!"
Gu Qiuyue looked at Xie Shiyu in surprise. He was actually a battalion commander?
Seeing Gu Qiuyue looking over, Xie Shiyu subconsciously straightened his back a little more: "Who are you looking for?"
"I...I...I...I'm looking for Mr. Tang...I have an urgent matter!"
Just as Xie Shiyu was about to speak, the soldier on guard recognized Gu Qiuyue before him: "Are you Comrade Gu Qiuyue?"
"Yes, I am Gu Qiuyue." Gu Qiuyue was not surprised that the soldier recognized her. After all, she had just been here a few days ago.
"I'm sorry, Comrade Gu, I didn't recognize you at first. I'll notify Mr. Tang right away." Brother Bing apologized quickly. After all, he was the one who received the girl when she came to see Mr. Tang a few days ago.
Gu Qiuyue forced a smile at the soldier: "It's okay, this is your duty."
Just as she finished speaking, Gu Qiuyue felt someone pulling her arm. Turning around, she saw it was Xie Shiyu and couldn't help but frown and asked, "Captain Xie, what's the matter?"
Xie Shiyu looked at her with a complicated expression for a long time before asking, "Your name is Gu Qiuyue? Who is Gu Qiuhan to you?"
Gu Qiuyue stared at Xie Shiyu in a daze, and for a moment she even forgot her current identity. She was only concerned with catching her breath and looked up to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Xie Shiyu patiently handed her a handkerchief and asked again.
Gu Qiuyue instinctively took the handkerchief. Gu Qiuhan? Why did this name sound so familiar? Wait! Isn't this her missing brother?
"He's my brother." Gu Qiuyue had nothing to hide. "Maybe you know him, but I really have more important things to do right now. I don't have time to talk to you about him."
Gu Qiuyue happened to see Wu Cheng walking towards them, so she stuffed the handkerchief into Xie Shiyu's hand and walked towards Wu Cheng.
Gu Qiuyue, who entered the compound, didn't know that when Xie Shiyu heard her say that she was sleeping with Gu Qiuhan's sister, he could no longer hear anything else. A heavy and complex emotion was rolling in his sharp and steady eyes.
It took him a while to calm down. He said hello to the soldier on duty and went to Mr. Tang's residence in the compound.
