Lu Rui was still reeling from the shock. Ignoring Li Fengying, he looked at Gu Liyan in a panic, "My lord, I..."
"Sui Sui is safe and sound, don't worry, everything's alright now." After saying that, Gu Liyan turned and walked out of the room without looking back.
An Qianbai followed Gu Liyan, her head bowed apologetically. She hadn't even been able to stop two ordinary people; she was truly useless! However, it seemed Gu Liyan didn't intend to pursue the matter…
Gu Liyan plopped down on the sofa, unbuttoned the top of his shirt, sweat beaded on his forehead, and he was so tired he could barely keep his eyes open...
An Qianbai noticed Gu Liyan's weak state and quickly stepped forward to help him lie down on her lap. Gu Liyan did not refuse An Qianbai; on the contrary, he felt that this position was very comfortable and familiar...
An Qianbai carefully wiped Gu Liyan's sweat with a tissue from the coffee table. Gu Liyan frowned slightly, the pain spreading between his eyebrows making him suffer terribly.
An Qianbai looked at Gu Liyan, whose expression was contorted with pain, and tears welled up in her eyes.
The icy tears flowed into his mouth, their salty and bitter taste causing Gu Liyan to frown slightly. Seeing An Qianbai watching him cry above him, he felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He immediately forced a smile and softly said, "I'm fine, don't worry..."
An Qianbai pursed her lips and nodded, but tears still streamed down her face.
After drinking a few drops of someone's tears, Gu Liyan finally couldn't help but say, "Alright, stop crying, or your snot will fall into my mouth!"
Upon hearing Gu Liyan's words, An Qianbai burst into laughter through her tears, unsure whether it was a cry or a laugh.
Gu Liyan couldn't help but smile wryly. He was starting to understand An Qianbai better; this girl was actually very kind...
The pain had subsided, but the exhaustion wasn't easy to recover from. Gu Liyan slowly closed his eyes and softly said, "I'll rest for a while..."
An Qianbai smiled and nodded, silently guarding Gu Liyan's side—you used to silently protect me, now let me protect you!
An Qianbai smiled slightly and reached out to hold Gu Liyan's hand: Xiao Li, let me protect you, even if it's just once.

Lu Rui frowned as he looked at the broken cup on the ground. Seeing him like this, Lu Yunshan and Li Fengying didn't know what to say.
"Dad, Mom, you two go and discuss the cemetery plot. If anything comes up, call me. I won't go," Lu Rui said in a low voice.
Lu Yunshan nodded. "Okay, you can rest at home."
Li Fengying spoke softly, "Xiao Rui, your friend seems to be sick. Why don't you both stay home and rest?"
Lu Rui was taken aback. "Big...Big Brother is sick?"
Lu Rui hurriedly got up and went to the living room. He saw Gu Liyan resting in An Qianbai's arms and whispered to An Qianbai, "Um... why don't you rest in my room?"
An Qianbai immediately raised her eyes and glared coldly at Lu Rui. Seeing An Qianbai's fierce gaze, Lu Rui swallowed hard and didn't dare to speak.
Okay, you can hug me if you want.
