Chapter 129 The fan is more fan than you.
After hearing Pei Lian's words, Ruan Yi felt her temples throbbing and her brows furrowing into a pretzel.
Did he mess things up like this just because he wanted her to sleep with him?
Before Ruan Yi could even utter the words "Are you sick?", she heard the man behind her respond even more urgently.
Gu Zhi still had a blood-soaked bandage wrapped around his shoulder, but he didn't care at all; the air pressure around him was terrifyingly low.
He walked straight to Ruan Yi, his long legs firmly planted, like a tall barrier protecting her behind him, his dark eyes coldly piercing Pei Lian.
"My sister doesn't sleep with just any ugly or deformed person."
Pei Lian leaned against the edge of the operating table, slowly raised his eyes, and curled a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth.
"But she slept with someone like you, so why can't I?"
Before Pei Lian could finish speaking, Gu Zhi let out a sneer filled with anger, "Someone like me?"
"I truly love her, how could I possibly kill her?"
Gu Zhi deliberately emphasized his words, blatantly boasting about himself.
"You're a hundred times better than someone like you who only has filthy thoughts about injecting drugs into my sister."
Pei Lian raised an eyebrow, his eyes full of mockery and ridicule, and slowly began to speak, then changed the subject.
"Some people used medication much earlier, didn't they? Compared to you, I'm pretty aboveboard..."
Before the man could finish speaking, Gu Zhi abruptly interrupted him.
"Who do you think you are? A madman who wears a doctor's mask and treats living people like puppets, who do you have the right to compare yourself to?"
Gu Zhi's tone was harsh and vulgar, every word filled with contempt.
"Want to be slept with? Don't you like art?"
"Find a sculpture and go masturbate in front of it, don't dirty my ears here!"
The man's insults were quite vile, but Pei Lian merely narrowed his eyes, the gloom in them lessening slightly. Instead, he raised his chin at Ruan Yi, his tone flippant and blatant.
"It's no use facing the sculpture; you can't get out of it."
"It has to be directed at her."
Ruan Yi's face flushed red, both angry and embarrassed.
What utter nonsense are these two spouting?!
Gu Zhi was furious when he heard the man's lewd remarks. His eyes were filled with mockery and anger, which almost overflowed. He barely managed to suppress his anger and keep from saying it.
In his previous life, after guiding Ruan Yi to dump Fu Jingchen, he had already taken control of the situation and kept his sister by his side. Fu Jingchen was also on the verge of a mental breakdown, so how could he possibly plan a grand scheme to kill Ruan Yi?
There were only two murderers, and one of them went insane. So who else could have orchestrated this?
But he can't let Ruan Yi know right now, otherwise it will be even harder for Fu Jingchen to shake off his identity as "Ruan Yi's boyfriend".
Gu Zhi looked at Pei Lian, gritting his teeth as he spoke.
"Get lost! You're black and stinking from head to toe, inside and out. Just looking at you would be an eyesore for me!"
The tension between the two grew increasingly palpable, and Gu Zhi clenched his fists as he stepped forward.
Ruan Yi finally lost her temper. She raised her hand and slapped Gu Zhi's mouth hard with her fair palm, the force carrying a lot of anger.
"Shut up, both of you! You're both equally ruthless, how dare you compare yourselves?"
The tall man stopped abruptly when the girl gently tapped him, and could only let out a muffled groan.
Pei suddenly curled the corners of her lips into a smile, her tone light and ambiguous, and slowly began to speak.
"From head to toe... all black? You're wrong."
The man shifted his long legs, staring intently at the girl. After meeting her gaze, he guided her to look away.
"Ruan Yi, I'm a fan."
He fully received the girl's genuine anger and anxiety when she scolded him, and from that moment on, he couldn't help but react.
Pei Lian unconsciously loosened his grip on his abdomen, his tone carrying a hint of flirtatious seduction.
"You really don't want to... try sleeping with me?"
Upon hearing this, Ruan Yi felt a chill run down her spine, and goosebumps rose up her arms.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Gu Zhi clench his fists and his jawline tense.
Clearly, Gu Zhi was about to make his move in a second. Ruan Yi's heart tightened, and before Gu Zhi could act, she interrupted him loudly.
"I don't care if you're pink or black, even if you're multicolored, it's useless!"
These words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing Gu Zhi's impending outburst of anger. He paused, then followed Ruan Yi's lead and turned to Pei Lian, his tone full of suppressed rage.
"Shut your filthy mouth, do you think you're the only fan?"
Pei Lian, however, seemed oblivious to the tension in the air. Instead, he stood up and took half a step forward, his expression so serious it was almost absurd.
“I’m fairer than you, and definitely more pink, so… naturally I’m prettier than you there.”
As soon as he said that, Gu Zhi's face turned as black as ink, and the pressure around him dropped to the lowest point.
He never expected that Pei Lian, this mentally ill person, would actually continue down this absurd topic and make such a confident and righteous argument.
Ruan Yi's gaze unconsciously fell on Pei Lian's face. He was already very handsome, with sharp brow bones and slightly upturned eyes. His pale, pinkish skin made his lips appear even lighter.
Her heart skipped a beat for no reason, and a thought flashed through her mind uncontrollably.
Could it really be as he said?
Gu Zhi noticed the girl's slight hesitation, and his already tense emotions instantly crumbled.
He disregarded his still-healing wounds and pulled Ruan Yi tightly into his arms, his voice carrying a barely perceptible hint of panic and ferocity.
"What are you thinking about, sister? You're thinking about me! You can't even think about a hair on his head!"
Seeing that Ruan Yi didn't speak, he hurriedly added.
"If my sister likes pink, I can go and get some..."
Ruan Yi: ??? "Shut up!"
Her cheeks instantly burned, a wave of shame washing over her. She raised her hand and slapped Gu Zhi across the face, her words filled with embarrassment and anger.
"Who said I like it!"
After saying that, Ruan Yi swallowed hard and quickly forced herself to change the subject, raising her voice several decibels.
"We're talking about the murderer! What nonsense are you spouting! If you keep this up, I'm going back to my boyfriend right now!"
The word "boyfriend" was like a bucket of ice water, instantly extinguishing Gu Zhi's restlessness and causing Pei Lian's playful and composed expression to fade away.
Their faces darkened simultaneously, and the tense atmosphere was instantly enveloped by an even heavier low pressure, making the air seem stagnant.
Gu Zhi held Ruan Yi's arm tightly, his fingertips unconsciously caressing her skin, his tone urgent.
"Fu Jingchen will hurt you. How can someone like that be your boyfriend? You two can't be together anymore!"
Seeing that Ruan Yi didn't budge, Gu Zhi leaned forward again, softened his voice, and opened his mouth in a pleading tone.
"Don't you believe me, sister? I'm not the only one saying that."
He glanced at Pei Lian beside him, his tone filled with disgust but also hinting at a treacherous intent.
"This mentally ill person said the same thing."
Ruan Yi frowned and struggled but failed. She looked at Gu Zhi and then glanced at Pei Lian, who was silent to the side.
"Why should I believe you just because you say so?"
"Two perverts arguing about who's more... weird, and my boyfriend—it's easy to choose who to believe, right?"
