Water is not a perfect shelter.
They cannot protect them from any attacks by firearms.
Conversely, the ripples in the water can reveal their location.
Unless they are far enough from the riverbank.
Dongzi grabbed Lu Yi with one hand, pulled out a strip of cloth from his waist, and took one out.
He wrapped Lu Yi's hands around the back of his neck and tied his wrists tightly.
Then, do the same thing.
From the hands, waist, and feet, make yourself and Lu Yi become one.
"Third Brother, Dongzi isn't very capable, but if we both have to die this time, I'm willing to die twice in exchange for your safety!"
He touched his face, took a deep breath, dived into the water, and swam vigorously into the depths.
In a daze, Lu Yi felt dizzy, as if he had entered an unknown passage...
The dazzling light blinded him.
"Finally awake!"
The familiar voice made Lu Yi's breath catch in his throat.
"Xiaoyue?"
A gentle smile appeared in his line of sight; it was undoubtedly Liang Shiyue.
How did I get here?
The strong smell of disinfectant cleared his head a little.
"Where's Dongzi? Has Jiaojiao come back?"
He straightened up from the hospital bed, staring intently at Liang Shiyue's eyebrows and eyes.
Liang Shiyue tried her best to keep smiling and sat down next to him. "Come on, have some porridge first, and we'll talk after you've finished, okay?"
The porridge in her hands was steaming hot and fragrant.
It was scooped into a spoon and brought over; even before Lu Yi had tasted it, he could already imagine how it would taste.
But at this moment, he had no appetite.
"Xiaoyue, tell me, where is Dongzi? Where is Ruan Jiaojiao?"
Liang Shiyue lowered her eyelids, "Lu Yi, the doctor said that as soon as you wake up, you should eat something first..."
Answer me!
Lu Yi smelled it anxiously, raised his hand to push the bowl and spoon away, and Liang Shiyue's finger slipped, spilling the porridge all over the floor.
The two looked at each other in shock.
Liang Shiyue's eyes were filled with tears, and the tip of her nose was slightly red.
The moment she saw Du Guanglong at the school gate, she realized that Lu Yi was in trouble.
She kept it a secret from her mother and made up a random excuse, which allowed her to stay at the hospital for two days and two nights.
She thought that when Lu Yi woke up, he would hold her hand, embrace her tenderly, and tell her not to worry.
But reality is cruel.
Lu Yi's heart and eyes were filled with thoughts of his brother and a girl he didn't know.
"Feel sorry……"
Lu Yi held her porridge-covered fingers, and his heart softened instantly.
But Liang Shiyue slowly pulled it back.
Just as I was about to say a few words of comfort to him, the door to the ward opened.
"Third brother, you're finally awake!"
"You little rascal, you really scared me!"
Du Guanglong walked in, glanced at the mess next to the hospital bed, and nodded to Liang Shiyue, "Xiaoyue, I'll have someone take you back to school first!"
Liang Shiyue stood up and placed the empty bowl on the bedside table.
She glanced at Lu Yi with a complicated expression for a few moments, then said, "Lu Yi, take good care of yourself. I have class to attend. I'll come see you another day!"
At that moment, she suddenly felt a fear of time.
They agreed to give each other space, but time took the opportunity to become a knife, carving them into strangers.
"Xiaoyue, let me see you off..."
Lu Yi threw back the covers, just about to get out of bed.
Du Guanglong reached out and pushed him back, saying, "Third brother, you're not fully recovered yet! Everything's arranged, and we'll get Xiaoyue into the classroom."
To ensure Liang Shiyue's safety, Gu Huainan had already used his family's connections to place people around her.
Waiting in the hospital parking lot to take her back to school were Gu Huainan and Lu Baoyun.
Liang Shiyue's eyes were full of reluctance, but reason told her that now was not the time to be sentimental.
She looked away, walked to the door, and picked up her bag. "Brother Long, I'm going to the restroom first..."
"Okay, go ahead!"
Du Guanglong gave a wink to the man and woman guarding the door.
...
Lu Baoyun has barely slept these past two days.
Her eyes were swollen like two ripe peaches.
"Who exactly did Yi'er offend? Why did this happen?"
She rested her head on Gu Huainan's shoulder, sobbing.
“I don’t know who did it. If I had known, I would have avenged him long ago, Baoyun…”
Gu Huainan hesitated for a moment before gently lifting her head.
He opened his mouth, then bit the dry, cracked skin on his lip, hesitating to speak.
Lu Baoyun's hand, which was holding a tissue to wipe her tears, froze in mid-air. She turned her head and stared at him intently.
"Huainan, what are you trying to say? Are you thinking of someone?"
Few people know about their relationship.
Lu Baoyun enjoys spending time with him in private and doesn't want to be too high-profile.
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Lu Baoyun thought that Gu Huainan had been reprimanded by his family.
She sat up straight, tidying her hair, and said nonchalantly, "If your family doesn't agree, we can break up anytime. I don't care."
What are you thinking!
Gu Huainan glanced at her and pressed her head back onto his shoulder.
After much deliberation, I finally spoke up.
"What is the Lu family's attitude towards Lu Yi now? Could it be that they..."
He ultimately dared not speak too bluntly.
The fact that a father would secretly murder his own son to protect the family assets is simply outrageous!
"Your consciousness is that my father and sister poisoned Yi'er?"
Lu Baoyun suddenly took a breath and stared at Gu Huainan in shock.
