Mo Han's words were barbed, sharp, sarcastic, and disdainful.
Gu Liyan's chest heaved with anger. The brotherhood they once shared was nothing but fleeting smoke; he never imagined that his eyes would be blinded by hatred.
"Damn it!" Gu Liyan cursed angrily.
An Qianbai slowly opened her eyes and saw Gu Liyan's furrowed brows and angry expression. Feeling sorry for him, she gently raised her hand to help him relax his brows and eyes...
That gentle gesture conveyed an unusual warmth to Gu Liyan. If Gu Liyan was not mistaken, it was the power of fate!
Gu Liyan was slightly taken aback. Looking at An Qianbai in his arms, he was somewhat surprised. Her big, watery eyes showed little sign of grievance or resentment, only deep worry, which was indeed worry for him.
"You..." Gu Liyan looked down at An Qianbai, meeting her gaze with a hint of helplessness. Someone who could feel a connection with him either trusted him or...
In an instant, Gu Liyan's attitude toward An Qianbai changed; there was surprise, doubt, and even more unfamiliarity.
An Qianbai smiled slightly, her crescent-shaped eyebrows and eyes beaming as she squinted at Gu Liyan.
That's right, it's this power of admiration that can generate the power of fate!
This woman actually likes me?! And she actually granted me a special connection?!
So, in that case...
No! That can't be!
Gu Liyan looked away. The only one who could generate love for him was Hua Baixian! They had made a vow; they had sworn an oath under the peach blossom tree!
Gu Liyan no longer knew what expression he had at this moment, but he was certain that the rage in his heart had been easily swept away by the movement of the person in his arms.
Gu Liyan gradually relaxed her brows and eyes. No matter how much the person in her arms loved her, since she could bring her fate, she should not be entirely Mo Han's person.
Gu Liyan breathed a sigh of relief and asked gently, "Are you... alright...?"
Hearing Gu Liyan's concern for her, An Qianbai was overjoyed and laughed non-stop, while shaking her head to indicate that she was fine.
Seeing An Qianbai's smiling face, Gu Liyan rolled his eyes and couldn't help but shake his head, saying, "I can tell that you and Mo Han are not on the same wavelength, and you were also driven to the brink of death by Mo Han. But you don't need to laugh at me, do you? I just saved you, and you still have the mind to laugh at me? Your mentality really makes me admire you!"
An Qianbai smiled but didn't speak, nor could she speak.
After muttering a long string of words, Gu Liyan placed her on the ice bed and used his own clothes as a blanket. He tried to take her hand but pulled it back halfway. After thinking for a moment, he placed it on her dantian and gently said, "I will now transfer a trace of life energy into your body. Use this energy to recover from your injuries..."
At this point, Gu Liyan couldn't help but complain, "You were supposed to be here to take care of me, but now look what's happened, I'm the one taking care of you!"
Seeing Gu Liyan's complaining expression, An Qianbai found it amusing. The happier she laughed, the more helpless Gu Liyan became: "I understand now, that guy Mo Han clearly sent you to annoy me. You're such a nuisance!"
An Qianbai felt a sharp pain in her heart as she listened to Gu Liyan say that she was a burden to him: Was she a hindrance to Gu Liyan? Should she really not have come to him?
I wanted to help him, but instead I ended up being taken care of by him. I really dragged him down with me!
Seemingly sensing An Qianbai's change in mood, Gu Liyan deliberately changed the subject: "Um... my name is Gu Liyan, what's your name?"
Upon hearing Gu Liyan's question, An Qianbai blinked at him, then rolled her eyes at him: What a silly fox!
Gu Liyan looked at An Qianbai glaring at him and glared back, "Hey! I'm asking you a question!"
An Qianbai laughed even harder, and even the iron face couldn't stop her.
"Giggle..."
Gu Liyan was taken aback, then slapped his head. "How could I forget that you can't speak!"
An Qianbai laughed so hard her shoulders trembled slightly. Gu Liyan rolled his eyes. "Stop laughing! You have no manners at all! I might as well just call you 'Xiaoxiao' from now on!"
Upon hearing Gu Liyan's words, An Qianbai nodded without hesitation, and naturally agreed with him naming her.
Gu Liyan pouted, "Can't you be a little more reserved?"
An Qianbai squinted and chuckled. So what if she couldn't speak? As long as she could laugh heartily in front of him, that was enough!
Gu Liyan ignored her and focused on channeling his life force. He hadn't expected An Qianbai's internal energy to be so disordered; it took him most of his life force to help her improve. When he released her, Gu Liyan's face was covered in sweat.
"Alright, you can start recovering now. Hurry up and recover so I can also enjoy being taken care of!"
Although she spoke with great ease, An Qianbai felt a surge of emotion upon seeing Gu Liyan's exhausted appearance and feeling the life force gradually strengthening within her own body.
She sat up and took Gu Liyan's hand, wanting him to lie down on the ice bed as well.
The moment she touched Gu Liyan's hand, Gu Liyan frowned slightly and subconsciously pushed her hand away, coldly saying:
"Men and women should not touch each other; it's better if we keep our distance."
An Qianbai was stunned when she saw Gu Liyan's firm refusal. Then she saw Gu Liyan sitting in the corner with his eyes closed, resting.
Gu Liyan's indifference was like a sharp knife ripping a piece of flesh from An Qianbai's heart; it hurt terribly...
However, if it's because of Gu Liyan's indifference that you feel heartbroken, then it's far more than that!
