Gu Liyan nodded and said nothing more. He just remembered how he had helped An Qianbai wipe her tears last night, and Lu Rui had caught him doing so. He was filled with resentment and was waiting for Lu Rui to come out and explain everything to him from beginning to end...
Lu Yunshan prepared breakfast to entertain Gu Liyan and the other person.
On the table, Li Fengying glanced at the time and couldn't help but ask, "It's already eight o'clock, why isn't Xiao Rui up yet?"
Lu Yunshan sighed, "You and I left home for work around 7 a.m. before, so you've forgotten that he usually rests until 9 a.m. It's really hard on him to get up at 8 a.m.
Li Fengying shook her head and didn't say anything. Lu Rui needed to rest for up to 12 hours a day due to his health condition, and he hadn't rested enough these past two days because of the old man's situation, so it was not good to wake him up.
Gu Liyan, who was standing to the side, frowned slightly as she thought of Lu Rui waking up once in the middle of the night yesterday: That guy shouldn't have slept for that long, right?
At that moment, he got up and walked towards Lu Rui's room. Seeing Gu Liyan's actions, An Qianbai put down her chopsticks and followed him.
A wisp of deathly aura wafted from the crack in the door. Gu Liyan was slightly startled, then his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly knocked on the door, "Lu Rui! Lu Rui, open the door quickly!"
Seeing Gu Liyan's anxious expression, Lu Yunshan sensed something was wrong and quickly put down his chopsticks and came over. "Young friend, what's wrong?"
Without saying a word, Gu Liyan slammed the door open. With a bang, the door was kicked open, and Lu Yunshan looked at Gu Liyan in astonishment, not understanding his intention.
Gu Liyan looked up and saw Lu Rui lying on the bed with his eyes closed. The black death aura surrounding him was even stronger than that of the Wang family!
Gu Liyan turned his head and said to Lu Yunshan and Li Fengying, who were about to come in, with a solemn expression, "Don't come in! Get out!"
Lu Yunshan sensed something was wrong as soon as he stepped into the room. Lu Rui's room seemed to have become somewhat cold and gloomy. His expression immediately turned serious. "Young friend, what's going on?"
"Don't ask any more questions, get out of here!" Gu Liyan said anxiously. An Qianbai behind him reacted quickly and pushed Lu Yunshan and Li Fengying out the door.
Gu Liyan came to Lu Rui's side and examined Lu Rui's body. Although his face was pale, his chest was still rising and falling.
He breathed a sigh of relief. "Luckily, it was discovered in time..."
Gu Liyan helped Lu Rui up, using his life-giving energy to dispel the deathly aura within Lu Rui's body. In the blink of an eye, Lu Rui let out a comfortable groan and slowly woke up.
The exquisitely beautiful face before me seemed like a fairy from a painting, not belonging to this filthy world.
"Wow, sir, are you a deity? It feels like you have special effects! There's a sparkling light behind you..." Lu Rui said with a smile, his eyes narrowed.
Gu Liyan said irritably, "Stop talking nonsense with me, if you're not dead, get up now!"
Hearing Gu Liyan's words, Lu Rui was slightly taken aback and looked puzzled. "Am I dreaming? Why are you waking me up?"
Snap—
Gu Liyan slapped him on the head, and Lu Rui immediately perked up, looking up at Gu Liyan blankly, "Why did you hit me?!"
Does it hurt?
"Nonsense! Of course it hurts!" Lu Rui's expression immediately froze as he said this.
Was it a dream?
"—No!" Lu Rui shook his head, staring blankly at Gu Liyan.
"Then why don't you get up right now!" Gu Liyan glared at Lu Rui.
Lu Rui hurriedly got up, his heart pounding. Had he just flirted with the adult in front of him?!
She stole a glance at Gu Liyan; he didn't seem angry at all? It seems this lord has a very good temper!
Gu Liyan was unaware of Lu Rui's thoughts. She stood up and looked around Lu Rui's room, finding the black-themed decor somewhat unacceptable.
The curtains seemed to have been closed for years, and the already dark room was filled with black decorations.
Gu Liyan reluctantly drew back the curtains for him, which brought some life to the room, and the deathly atmosphere quickly dissipated...
Suddenly, a bright light flashed, and Gu Liyan's gaze fell on the white water glass on the table. In this room full of black decorations, the white water glass stood out.
Seeing Gu Liyan examining the white water glass, Lu Rui explained while putting on his clothes:
"That cup was a free gift when I bought coffee. Would Lord Mo Li like to try some coffee from our era?"
Gu Liyan narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "Forget the coffee, I'll only drink tea..."
"Oh, okay, I thought you'd like coffee to keep you awake..."
"To keep you alert?" Gu Liyan squinted at Lu Rui. "You need to rest, why are you drinking this?"
Lu Rui choked, "I... I always feel extremely tired after sleeping for a long time, and drinking coffee helps me feel a bit better."
Gu Liyan shook her head, interrupting him directly, "Don't you know this thing almost killed you?"
Lu Rui was stunned and stared blankly at Gu Liyan. "M-Sir, don't scare me."
“When I came in just now, you were barely alive.” Gu Liyan turned his head and said with a solemn expression, “Your symptoms are very similar to your grandmother’s…”
Lu Rui couldn't help but swallow hard, a wave of fear washing over him, leaving him speechless.
Seeing his flustered expression, Gu Liyan stopped talking and instead said directly:
"This cup of unknown origin carries a tragic connotation, so it's best to break it!"
With that, Gu Liyan casually tossed the cup aside, and it shattered into pieces.
Hearing the noise from Lu Rui's room, Lu Yunshan and Li Fengying ignored An Qianbai's attempts to stop them and rushed in.
"Xiao Rui, are you alright?" Li Fengying looked at Lu Rui's pale face with a worried expression and asked anxiously.
