Chun Tao reluctantly took the money. As soon as she reached out her hand, the beggar eagerly snatched the copper coins and kowtowed three times to Gu Baiwei: "Thank you, Miss. I wish you good health and all the best."
After saying that, as if afraid she would change her mind, he staggered away with the money.
"There are quite a few homeless people in the city lately. Miss Gu, aren't you afraid of getting into trouble by flaunting your wealth like this?"
Ye Yunting suddenly spoke, his words full of sarcasm, saying that this Miss Gu was really naive and easy to fool.
“He’s in this condition, and if he doesn’t get any more food, he might not survive today. He’s still a human being, and I have the ability to save him but I don’t. My conscience won’t allow it.”
When Gu Baiwei heard herself say this, she subconsciously agreed with the statement. She simply couldn't bear to watch a vibrant life die before her eyes.
Ye Yunting chuckled self-deprecatingly: "It was I who was narrow-minded."
After saying that, he simply lifted his foot and walked forward.
The two remained silent the entire way, creating an extremely awkward atmosphere.
As Gu Baiwei was passing through a narrow alley, she was trying to figure out how to leave when a group of people suddenly rushed out of the alley and surrounded the two of them.
"Hand over all the money, and we'll spare your lives."
The middle-aged man at the head of the group was dressed in tattered clothes, his cloth shoes worn so badly that his toes were sticking out. He was staring greedily at the purse at Gu Baiwei's waist, and he was tapping a stick about the thickness of his wrist in his hand, which was full of threats.
Several men followed behind him, all dressed in tattered clothes, emaciated and pale, their eyes looking at her with either fierceness or fear.
His gaze fell on the last, ragged, and emaciated figure. Ye Yunting's lips curled into a cold smile: "Miss Gu, this is what happens when you're kind. Sometimes, good people don't necessarily get good rewards."
Gu Baiwei also saw the last familiar figure; it was the beggar she had just given money to.
The beggar met her gaze and awkwardly looked away.
“Young Master Ye, you are right, but... if I had to choose again, I would still make the same choice.”
Gu Baiwei spoke softly, her voice gentle and melodious, yet incredibly resolute.
Ye Yunting's eyes flickered slightly, and a cold smile appeared on his lips: "Foolish."
As soon as he finished speaking, the group of people began to shout and approach.
"Hand over all the money, or we won't be polite!"
"You guys?"
Ye Yunting snorted coldly and was about to make a move when he saw the seemingly weak girl who had been standing beside him suddenly draw a soft sword from her waist and charge forward fiercely.
In a matter of moments, he snapped the belts of the three men, and as they screamed and clutched their private parts, he kicked them to the ground, displaying a very ruthless style.
Screams erupted, and the once aggressive crowd instantly covered their private parts in unison, creating a scene too gruesome to watch.
Ye Yunting and the servant behind him who was about to rush forward froze on the spot, dumbfounded.
Chun Tao coughed lightly, embarrassed: "I forgot to tell you, our young lady knows a little bit about martial arts."
These refugees were just ordinary people who hadn't eaten for several days, so they took the risk, but they didn't expect to encounter a master on their first attempt.
Gu Baiwei weaved through the crowd like a fish, and in no time, everyone was blushing and screaming.
The moment the last person fell, an arrow suddenly shot through the air and embedded itself in the wall not far from the group, the arrowhead completely buried in the wall.
The group of people who had just helped each other to their feet suddenly felt their legs go weak and dared not move again.
A handsome man dressed in silver armor sat on his horse, looking down at Gu Baiwei.
The moment Gu Baiwei saw that face clearly, her mind went blank. Why was Shen Yanqing here?
What shocked her even more was that she, who had just been so fierce, instantly switched to a weak and vulnerable state the moment she saw the person who had arrived: "Young Master Shen..."
Gu Baiwei suddenly woke up from her dream, opened her eyes, and met the familiar eyes from her dream.
But those cold, emotionless eyes from my dream now held concern and tenderness.
"Weiwei, you're awake?"
Gu Baiwei looked around with some confusion. The room was decorated in a modern style with gray and white as the main colors. The whole room was simple and cold, without any extra colors, and looked cold and old-fashioned.
"here it is?"
She blinked several times, finally realizing that she wasn't dreaming this time.
"This is my home."
Shen Yanqing reached for the water glass on the table and carefully brought it to her lips: "You've been asleep for three days."
Three days?
Gu Baiwei felt like she had a very long dream, but she didn't expect that she would sleep for so long, and everything in the dream was so real, as if it had really happened.
The Golden Guard General was actually Shen Yanqing, but the Ye Yunting was not the Ye Yunting she had seen before. So was it a coincidence?
Thinking of the man in front of her, dressed in silver armor and sitting upright on his horse, Gu Baiwei couldn't help but want to laugh. If she wasn't dreaming, she really couldn't imagine this seemingly refined and handsome man carrying a sword and going to the battlefield to kill the enemy.
He's somewhat handsome, and somewhat funny.
"Weiwei, what's wrong?"
Shen Yanqing was somewhat puzzled by her laughter, so he frowned, pinched her chin, and looked at her.
"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered something funny."
As Gu Baiwei spoke, she couldn't help but steal a glance at him again. This person really felt completely different from the one in her dream.
Just then, the door opened, and a familiar figure carrying a medicine box appeared in the doorway.
"Miss Gu?"
Song Anze looked at Gu Baiwei with some surprise, never expecting to see her again.
He felt quite sorry when he heard about her accident a year ago, but he never expected that she would still be alive.
"You two know each other?"
Seeing that Song Anze had been staring at Gu Baiwei ever since he entered the room, Shen Yanqing raised an eyebrow in displeasure and subtly pulled her into his arms, blocking Song Anze's probing gaze.
The possessive manner made Song Anze awkwardly touch his nose. He had some feelings for this Miss Gu before, but he had no improper thoughts.
I was just surprised that she was still alive.
"I've seen him at Mr. Ye's house before."
After returning from studying abroad, Song Anze opened his own private clinic. In addition to his work at the clinic, he also served as the private doctor for many wealthy people in Linhai City.
Shen Yanqing wrapped one arm around Gu Baiwei's waist and raised his chin at him: "My girlfriend has amnesia, can you help her see what's wrong?"
He emphasized the word "girlfriend" very heavily.
It was rare to see the usually aloof and cold Boss Shen acting so childish, and Song Anze found it inexplicably funny.
The corners of his mouth had just turned up slightly when he met those eyes that, though smiling, seemed to be filled with ice. His smile froze, and he immediately looked away, keeping his eyes straight ahead: "Let me check on Miss Gu first."
