Gu Miao: Seize every opportunity to take advantage of meow
The man who appeared out of nowhere was undoubtedly a provocation to Gu Wenye. Hearing extremely ambiguous words in his ears, Gu Wenye stared at the strange man in front of him with an unfriendly look, like a big cat whose territory was invaded, showing its claws.
Qiu Yanping listened to the man's hidden meaning and frowned slightly. It was obvious that the man in front of him knew his true origin. "Who are you?"
"You can call me Donghuang." said the man.
Qiu Yanping's pupils suddenly shrank, "Donghuang..." he murmured in a low voice. The man opposite smiled slightly, raised his eyebrows, and said, "It seems that you know me."
How could Qiu Yanping not know Donghuang? The Qiu family had a song that he had learned to sing when he was a little boy——
There is a fairy mountain in the sky, and each mountain has a name. On the top of the Donghuang Peak is the Donghuang Bell. The divine dragon disappears without a trace, and it creates the clouds and rain and makes the world go round... The ballad is very long, and it all talks about the Donghuang Bell. He has memorized it since he was a child. In his heart, he once thought that the Donghuang Bell is more terrifying than the way of heaven. Creation and destruction of the world all depend on the Donghuang's thoughts.
"Although I'm here because of you, don't be nervous. Today I'm just here to provide after-sales service and take back a life that has been fooled." Dong Huang said, walking towards Zhou Yili who was tied to a chair. He looked at the woman with a pale face, and wiped his palms in front of the woman with a puzzled snort. He turned his head to glance at Qiu Yanping, and said with a smile, "It seems that I'm not the only one who has been fooled. You also did something." He took out a familiar yellow talisman from the woman's chest. The yellow talisman suddenly caught fire, and he threw it on the ground casually. The little life left in the woman instantly wilted.
Qiu Yanping recognized that it was the yellow talisman he had given to her in the coffee shop where they met for the second time. He looked unhappy and said nothing. At that time, he didn't know Zhou Yili's situation, and he didn't expect Zhou Yili to be so brave as to do this. At the same time, he was a little annoyed for his casualness and lack of precaution.
He was always too defenseless against this environment - even though he knew that this world had been interfered by strange people and strange things, and that external things that did not belong to this world gradually affected the lives of the residents here. This might be because in this world he did not need to carefully plan his life step by step, no one could threaten him, and he had no weaknesses that could be easily manipulated by others, so he seemed to have the capital to act recklessly.
"It looks like you've suffered a lot." Dong Huang looked at the dying woman, a cold mockery on his face. If an ordinary person dared to fool him like this, he would definitely punish him.
Zhou Yili could only live secretly with the life she stole. Her skin became increasingly pale, which was very different from that of ordinary people. She had nightmares that made her unable to sleep or eat. Every move she made was like that of a thief, and her true identity was revealed everywhere. This was the punishment given by Dong Huang.
Qiu Yanping watched the man take away Zhou Yili's soul and seemed to be planning to leave directly. He subconsciously took a step forward and wanted to say something, but he felt that the two people's identities were completely different, and he had no right to speak. Qiu Yanping certainly had his pride, but in front of the other party's completely deified identity, he was basically humble.
Dong Huang stopped and glanced at Qiu Yanping, tilting his head slightly, "You seem to have something to ask?"
Qiu Yanping was slightly startled.
"Yes, I want to ask you, you interfered with the heaven to change people's fate, and used the life span as a bargaining chip..." He paused, pursed his lips for a moment, and then spoke again, "Will doing this bring punishment from the heaven?"
"Haha, who said I interfered with the Heavenly Dao? Their fate was supposed to be like this." Dong Huang chuckled twice. He looked at Qiu Yanping, his light-colored, almost transparent pupils flashing with a cunning light. "I said before, I appeared because of you. Heavenly Dao Daxuan, what you see and think you know may not necessarily be the arrangement of the Heavenly Dao. I think you should know this point?"
Qiu Yanping was stunned for a moment, he lowered his eyes as if thinking about something.
Dong Huang didn't say anything upon seeing this, but just turned his gaze to the man who still hadn't let down his guard. He grinned recklessly at Gu Wenye, teasing the man's nerves in an extremely provocative way.
Gu Wenye took a deep breath. He would never fall for the other party's deliberate provocation, but he did care about the words the man kept emphasizing. Gu Wenye clenched his fists, and the light in his eyes was dim and difficult to discern.
Just like when Donghuang came, the melodious and clear bell sound took away everything, and Zhou Yili's body was left there. Apart from that, there was no trace of the other party having been there.
Gu Wenye watched Qiu Yanping with a thoughtful look on his face. Even though that inexplicable man had left, his wife's attention was still all on the other party, which made Gu Wenye feel very uncomfortable. Although he knew that his jealous behavior seemed inappropriate - especially since it was obvious that the other party was not a good object of jealousy - but reason alone could not stop a big cat from possessing his object and cunningly seizing every opportunity to hold on to his own rights.
——Yes, seize every opportunity. Gu Wenye knew that he could not show too much concern and negative emotions towards the strange man. He knew that his Mr. Qiu would definitely express irrelevant sarcasm about this, but he must have a way to make the other party feel guilty because of some secrets, and he would make good use of this opportunity, at least to seek some benefits for himself that had been delayed for too long.
Qiu Yanping had no idea that Gu Wenye had misled him to a strange point. He was still thinking about the words left by Donghuang. It was not until Gu Wenye could no longer bear it and dragged the man out of the small room with a corpse still inside that he suddenly came to his senses and realized that he had stayed here for too long.
He glanced at the door that was about to close. Zhou Yili's miserable body was still there. He asked, "What should I do with her?"
"The disease broke out suddenly and treatment is ineffective," said Gu Wenye.
Qiu Yanping choked and nodded, knowing that Gu Wenye should be able to handle such matters easily.
Gu Wenye took Qiu Yanping home, and he would notify Jiang Hao to deal with the people in the room. Qiu Yanping looked at the man's resolute and expressionless profile, as if he had no doubts about what had just happened. He couldn't help but ask, "What don't you want to ask?" He said it, but he felt that asking this question was just to make himself unhappy.
Gu Wenye glanced at Qiu Yanping, who had a regretful expression on his face, and said calmly, "Since Mr. Qiu doesn't seem to want to talk about it, I won't ask. When Mr. Qiu is willing to tell me, I will know it naturally."
Qiu Yanping felt embarrassed and uncomfortable after hearing Gu Wenye's "reasonable" remarks. He shifted his butt left and right on the chair, feeling uncomfortable no matter how he sat. He felt guilty, as he thought it was wrong for him to conceal the truth from Gu Wenye, but he didn't want to make up a story to deceive him, so he just pursed his lips and kept silent.
He lowered his eyes and fiddled with his nails. He looked a little flustered and a little aggrieved. Seeing the person he liked showing such an expression, Gu Wenye's heart softened. He said, "I'm serious." He looked at Qiu Yanping and looked into his eyes, and said, "I know we are just getting started. When we have walked a long enough distance together and you are willing to tell me, I will listen. I just want that person to have no hostility towards you, that's enough."
He could still see this. Although it seemed that all the strange things that happened were mostly caused by the strange man, the other party did not mean to stand on the opposite side of them. He did not know the other party's identity, but he could see that Qiu Yanping was very respectful of him, so he thought clearly about both sides and just treated him as an outsider, not interfering or asking, and just keeping the status quo.
Qiu Yanping felt a little swelled in the heart when he saw the man's infinite tolerance.
Gu Wenye added, "Mr. Qiu, just know that I will stand by Mr. Qiu unconditionally as long as it does not affect the bottom line of the planet." He stopped the suspended express and stopped above the general's mansion. He looked sideways at Qiu Yanping, who showed a rare confusion and retreat in his eyes because of his words. He knew that he had hit Qiu Yanping's soft spot. He smiled slightly, clasped Qiu Yanping's head with his palm, and gently brought him into his arms. With an extremely gentle and protective gesture, he held him in his arms. He said, "So Mr. Qiu can relax in front of me. No matter when, you can see me, and I will be by your side, okay?"
"I thought I was looking for a lover, not a bodyguard." Qiu Yanping cleared his throat and said jokingly. He rested his chin on the man's shoulder and blinked his eyes quickly, using joking to cover up his momentary panic and helplessness.
"Haha." Gu Wenye chuckled, "Mr. Qiu, don't you think it's a good deal? You found a lover and a bodyguard at the same time. Maybe there will be a 24-hour butler in the future." He tilted his head slightly and glanced at the man who rested his hairy head in his neck, and the smile in his eyes became more obvious.
"Twenty-four hours? Then I might find General Gu annoying like an old woman." Qiu Yanping said with a low laugh and shaking shoulders.
"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Qiu, to be patient." Gu Wenye said. He smiled and gently kissed the man's red ear tip. He looked at Qiu Yanping with satisfaction as he trembled slightly, and he chuckled.
