Chapter 83: You lost, so be a good girl and become my person.
The two chatted outside for a while, then Ji Wanwan remembered that she had to go back to be with Gu Qingci, so she took Yu Chuman with her.
It's true that after dealing with one problem, you have to appease another one...
As soon as Yu Chuman entered the room, she saw Gu Qingci, her mouth agape and her brows furrowed. She looked at Ji Wanwan and said, "How did he end up in such a terrible state?"
The Gu Qingci she knew was aloof, indifferent, and distant; how come he looks so disheveled now?
Ji Wanwan looked at Gu Qingci with slight embarrassment. She couldn't very well say that these wounds were inflicted because she saved her.
That would make it even harder to explain to her.
Just as she was hesitant to speak, Gu Qingci came to her rescue: "I did it myself."
Yu Chuman exclaimed, "That's incredibly careless of you!"
Just as she was about to ask something else, someone walked in through the door.
It was Lin who bumped into him.
His face was still pale and bloodless, and his body looked very weak, but his spirits were very good.
Upon seeing this, Yu Chuman immediately went to greet her: "Why are you here too!"
Lin Zhuang glanced at Gu Qingci and could immediately guess why he had called him over.
All he wanted was for him to get rid of Yu Chuman.
"Gu Qingci is injured, I've come to see him."
Yu Chuman responded with an "oh," assuming he had come to see her.
“But now that we’ve seen it, we won’t die. Let’s go.” He smiled, took Yu Chuman’s wrist, and walked out.
He was referring to us, and Yu Chuman only realized it later.
He hurriedly said goodbye to Ji Wanwan and followed him.
Ji Wanwan raised an eyebrow slightly. She hadn't expected to run into him again. They had only met once in the United States before he left in a hurry.
Now, he even called Yu Chuman away without saying goodbye.
Ji Wanwan glanced at Gu Qingci and found that he remained calm throughout, as if he already knew.
"Did you do this on purpose?" Ji Wanwan asked, she didn't want to have some alone time with Gu Qingci!
How embarrassing...
Gu Qingci gave a faint "hmm" without denying it; he just wanted Ji Wanwan to be with him, that was enough.
Yu Chuman was so noisy that only Lin Zhuang could stand her.
Lin Zhuang rushed back to China to be with Yu Chuman.
Ji Wanwan sat on the edge of the bed, picked up an apple from the table, thinking of peeling one for Gu Qingci, and asked casually.
"Does Chu Man know that Lin Zhuang is involved with the Mafia?"
If Ji Wanwan hadn't met Lin Zhuang in the United States, she probably wouldn't have known he had this identity.
The American Mafia has also proven that he has many enemies, and if Yu Chuman were to follow him into a collision, she might be in danger.
Gu Qingci remained silent, not listening to what she was saying, his narrow eyes fixed on her swollen lips.
The marks were clearly from a forced kiss...
Kolov!
His fists were clenched tightly under the covers, his fingertips digging into his palms, and a dull ache rose in his heart.
Ji Wanwan noticed that he wasn't responding to her, so she looked up and found him staring at her lips.
She unconsciously pursed her lips; did he notice?
Ji Wanwan deliberately came back a little later, thinking that her lips would be less red and swollen.
She held the apple in her hand to his lips, her tone tinged with displeasure: "Did you hear what I just said?"
Gu Qingci snapped out of her daze, her expression remaining calm, but her eyes softened as she looked at Ji Wanwan.
"I don't know, and there's no need to know."
“Lin Zhuang has a heart condition and at most has three years left to live; he won’t live to see that time,” he said calmly.
"Heart disease?" Ji Wanwan paused in her act of peeling the apple.
They had known each other since their freshman year of college. They only knew that Lin Zhuang was physically weak, but none of them knew that he had a heart condition.
Little did he know he only had three years to live...
Gu Qingci hummed in agreement; their relationship was destined to have no future.
"How could this happen?" Ji Wanwan murmured softly, her face showing distress.
Yu Chuman's pursuit of Lin Zhuang was quite intense, but Lin Zhuang remained indifferent, neither rejecting nor accepting her advances.
"Isn't it curable?"
Gu Qingci shook her head. Lin Zhuang used to be a ruthless and bloodthirsty member of the American Mafia. After learning that she had a heart condition, he had already consulted many big names in the medical field.
Everyone says it's incurable.
It was because of this opportunity that he chose to come to China and meet Yu Chuman.
Ji Wanwan sighed, knowing she could only wait and see how things developed between the two of them; she couldn't stop Yu Chuman from liking him.
Lin Zhuang...
He'll know what's good for him.
Meanwhile, in the Gu family's garden, one could see crabapple blossoms covering the ground on the bluestone bricks.
When the wind rises, the petals fall like rain, some landing on the tips of Lin Zhuang's black hair.
Lin brought Yu Chuman here mainly because he thought the place was beautiful and the scenery was lovely.
He had already let go of her hand when he left the room.
"So, what do you think of this place?" Lin Zhuang asked her with a smile in his eyes.
He was very lively and cheerful in college, and sometimes he was a bit reckless, which she found adorable.
Yu Chuman knew that his behavior was deliberate, as if he was trying to shed his previous cold personality.
Although she didn't know what he had been through in the past, she was simply attracted to Lin Zhuang.
She just likes Lin Zhuang's type.
Yu Chuman is a very direct person; she doesn't hesitate when she meets someone she likes and flirted with him for a long time.
She put her hands behind her back, bent slightly, looked up at him, and said in a teasing tone, "Not as good-looking as you."
Their eyes met, filled with love.
Lin Zhuang raised his hand and gently stroked her bangs, changing the subject.
Do you think Gu Qingci and Ji Wanwan will get together?
Yu Chuman wasn't angry, because he was always like this!
Ignore her flirting...
She straightened up and kept getting closer to Lin Zhuang.
I don't know if Gu Qingci can win Wanwan's heart, but I know I will win you over.
Suddenly, she grabbed Lin Zhuang's white collar, forcing him to bend down and get closer to her, their noses touching.
Lin Zhuang smiled sweetly, showing no sign of panic or intention to pull her hand away.
"Stop fooling around."
"Let's make a bet, a bet on whether he can win over Ji Wanwan."
Yu Chuman immediately replied, "Okay, I bet he can't catch up."
She deliberately sprayed her breath on his face, which was very seductive, and then let go of him.
Lin Zhuang chuckled softly, but his eyelashes trembled almost imperceptibly, and his hands behind his back quietly curled up.
"Then I'll bet he can catch up."
Yu Chuman snorted. If Gu Qingci could catch up with Ji Wanwan, they would have been together two years ago.
"If you lose, you're mine."
Lin Zhuang thought for a while.
"Okay, but if you lose, you have to go to Iceland for me."
"Then you're doomed to lose. You'll have to be my person then!"
Yu Chuman tiptoed and laboriously placed her hand on his shoulder, then raised her other hand to remove a petal from the end of his hair.
What did this person eat to grow so tall...?
Lin Zhuang glanced at her sideways and consciously bent down to make it easier for her to get on his arm.
"If you win, you can do whatever you want with me."
He didn't know if Gu Qingci could catch up with Ji Wanwan, or perhaps he wouldn't live to see that day.
This bet is likely to be void.
He could never be hers.
Yu Chuman was unaware of Lin Zhuang's thoughts, nor did she know that he was about to die.
If you knew, Lin Zhuang would be hers now.
