Chapter 5 Encountering Lin Yuan
Lin Yuan is 25 years old this year. She is a rich girl who grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth. She has a beautiful face and elegant curly hair. She looks intellectual and generous.
Because of her strong working ability and easygoing personality, she became the darling of the crowd, and even everyone in the Gu family admired her very much!
They all said that she was a perfect person without any flaws.
There was just one thing that Xu Ruochu didn't understand.
In his previous life, why did Lin Yuan commit suicide by jumping off a building in front of her after calling her to make an appointment?
What she didn't expect was that when the man brought up this old story a few years later, she turned out to be the murderer? There must be something wrong with the person who provided the evidence!
It is also very likely that Lin Yuan directed and acted in such a drama before his death... Otherwise, she couldn't figure out who wanted to harm her?
Seeing Xu Ruochu staring at him blankly, Lin Yuan walked up to her with a smile and helped her up affectionately, "Sister Ruochu, what's wrong with you? Why are you here?"
Xu Ruochu shook his head and forced an awkward smile.
Her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked like she had just cried.
Seeing this, Lin Yuan was slightly stunned and couldn't help but comfort him: "Why are you acting like a little kitten? Did something happen to you?"
“No, no!”
Xu Ruochu subconsciously pulled back his arm and kept a distance from her.
Although everyone praised Lin Yuan, she just felt a little weird when she looked at her.
In my previous life, before she died, I didn't have this feeling. Now, I thought of some unreasonable things, and when I looked at her again, I felt even more uncomfortable!
Lin Yuan noticed Xu Ruochu's distance, but he didn't care. He just smiled and continued chatting with her, "What were you doing just now? Why were you riding a bicycle? Didn't you ask the driver to pick you up?"
Xu Ruochu shook his head, lowered his head and said nothing. He didn't want to communicate with her any more, so he found an excuse to leave.
"Thank you for your concern, Sister Yuan. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Having said that, she pushed her bicycle away in a hurry.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Yixiao's car slowly caught up.
When Lin Yuan saw him, he hurried over and greeted him with a smile.
"Axiao!"
Gu Yixiao in the car lowered the window, nodded slightly, then closed the window and started to speed away.
Lin Yuan looked at him, his expression changed slightly, then he looked at Xu Ruchu who was fleeing in panic, a hint of doubt flashed through his heart.
Is she too sensitive?
How did they both end up on the same road at the same time?
She had found out everything. Although Ah Xiao and Xu Ruochu lived in the same villa with their family, they had hardly ever spoken to each other!
Furthermore, their movements were different, and they never appeared on the same road...
"Tsk~ What am I worried about?!" With her noble conditions and accumulated good character, how could she lose to this ordinary country bumpkin?
Lin Yuan shook his head in disdain, put all distracting thoughts out of his mind, and walked towards his luxury car.
Xu Ruochu kept accelerating his bicycle along the way, completely ignoring his injured arm, and ran forward desperately.
She wanted to get back to the hotel quickly, find her notebook, and burn it!
Finally arrived at the hotel half an hour later.
When she asked the front desk staff, they said they didn't see any locked notebook, so she asked to go look for it herself.
The waiter didn't make things difficult for her and agreed readily.
So, Xu Ruochu turned around and just entered the elevator, she saw Gu Yixiao in the elevator, about to step out.
Xu Ruochu was stunned for a moment and she subconsciously took a step back.
But the elevator was so small that if she backed out any further she would be out.
Gu Yixiao noticed her panic and couldn't help but ask calmly, "Why is your arm bleeding?"
"......" Xu Ruochu pursed her lips and didn't dare to say anything.
"There's a medicine kit in my room. Go and bandage it." He raised his hand to close the elevator door and said.
His tone was still indifferent, as if he mentioned it casually.
“…”
She still said nothing, just shook her head in response.
The elevator was empty, except for him and her.
This made Xu Ruochu even more panicked.
She kept her head down and stood in the corner without saying a word.
Gu Yixiao frowned at her actions and looked down at her in silence.
Xu Ruochu felt uncomfortable being stared at like this, and then lowered her head even more.
At this moment, the elevator door opened with a ding.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was about to walk out of the elevator, but Gu Yixiao reached out and grabbed her.
"Go bandage it first." He said coldly.
She was stunned for a moment and quickly raised her head.
"No!"
Xu Ruochu quickly refused.
She wanted to break free from his hand, but he was so strong that she couldn't move him at all.
Looking at the man in front of her who was a head taller than her, she tried to calm down and said slowly, "It's just a minor injury. I'll just go to the bathroom and take a shower. Thank you for your concern, cousin."
Gu Yixiao looked at her indifferently, without saying anything else, and simply pulled her away.
“…”
Xu Ruochu couldn't break free and had no choice but to let him do it.
But when his hand grasped her arm and touched her cold skin, she froze.
His palm was warm and slender, much higher than her body temperature. She could even feel the warmth of his fingers passing through the thin clothes and onto her skin.
She followed behind Gu Yixiao, looking at his back, and couldn't help falling into a trance...
In his previous life, the night he returned from the hotel, his indifferent attitude towards her quickly turned to a hostile one. Even at the very end, on their wedding day, he killed her without the slightest hesitation!
She will never forget that day when the blood that kept flowing from her nose soon stained the white wedding dress she had carefully chosen red...
When they were about to reach the room, Xu Ruochu suddenly stopped and said, "I'm really fine, no need for bandaging!"
Gu Yixiao stopped, turned around and looked at her with a deep and complicated gaze.
He stared at her for a long time before he said, "Xu Ruchu, what are you afraid of?"
Xu Ruchu involuntarily lowered her eyes to avoid his gaze, "No."
Gu Yixiao stared at her pale little face and suddenly sneered, "Then why don't you dare to come with me?"
Xu Ruochu bit her lip nervously, "I didn't."
She didn't need to explain.
"Since you don't have any, follow me."
Gu Yixiao spat out a few words coldly, turned and walked towards his room, leaving behind a handsome and upright figure.
She was thinking about how to reject him reasonably, so she never took a step.
But soon, the man discovered her ink stains and took out iodine, cotton balls, and gauze, and threw them to her, "Apply the medicine yourself."
Xu Ruochu gritted his teeth and didn't refuse anymore. He took the three things, turned around and walked to the emergency exit of the stairwell, and began to roll up his sleeves and wipe the wound.
She dipped a cotton ball in some iodine and used it to disinfect the wound. She wiped it back and forth, breathing in as she did so.
I thought it was just a minor scrape, but I didn't expect the wound to be so big and so painful!
But compared to the pain before death in the previous life, it is not surprising.
If she could live her life over again, she would not cry over this little pain.
But when the iodine touched her skin, she couldn't help but gasp and almost screamed.
"ah……"
Xu Ruochu had to slow down and gently rub the area around the wound carefully.
She had just finished scrubbing the skin and was about to bandage it when she heard the sound of approaching footsteps outside.
