Chapter 31 [VIP] Jianghu (12)

Xie Yu struggled to open his eyelids, only to see a figure swaying beside him. However, he suddenly felt a severe headache and became sleepy. He became groggy and didn't pay much attention to what the other person said.

And Su Mo kept talking, "Xie Yu, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I didn't know things would turn out like this, I just wanted you to stay with me for a few days, I didn't mean to hurt you..."

She really didn't expect that the poison would be so contagious. Xie Yu had only taken care of her for one night, but she already started to have a fever.

Su Mo was a little anxious for a moment. She reached out and patted the other person's cheek, trying to sober him up. Her eyes were full of guilt. "I didn't know you were poisoned..."

She was a little selfish, but she never thought of killing him. She originally thought that since she was poisoned, she might as well be a little selfish and let Xie Yu stay with her for the last few days. However, she didn't expect that the poison was so strong that one would be infected without knowing it with just the slightest contact.

Thinking of this, she became even more anxious.

Seeing that he had no reaction, Su Mo poured out the detoxification pill from the bottle and fed him one. In her panic, she accidentally broke the bottle. She said angrily and distressedly:

"Why are you so stupid? Haven't you always listened to your childhood sweetheart? Why did you suddenly stop listening this time? Why did you come to take care of me out of the blue?"

"Who needs your care? You're clearly here to die." She started crying as she spoke. With red eyes, she looked at Xie Yu, who was hot all over, and her voice was hoarse with tears.

"Why do you always go against me? How am I inferior to your childhood sweetheart? You always say those things to make me angry, and now you are poisoned because of me. What do you want me to do? Am I going to owe you my whole life?"

"Xie Yu, wake up, I don't want you to get poisoned..."

Xie Yu only felt that he seemed to have a dream in his daze. In the dream, Nan Yan secretly came to Yizhuang because she was too worried about him. After being caught by him, she cried and threw herself into his arms to admit her mistakes, just like when they were children. Seeing that she admitted her mistakes with a good attitude, Xie Yu softened his heart a little.

But the crying gave him a headache.

He opened his eyes dazedly and vaguely saw a figure whose eyebrows and eyes seemed to overlap with the face in his dream. Xie Yu saw that the tip of Xiao Qingmei's nose was slightly red from crying.

I suddenly felt distressed, so I subconsciously reached out and rubbed her cheeks gently, soothing her softly.

"Don't cry, I'm fine, why are you here..."

Before he could finish the rest of the sentence, he coughed a few times.

"Xie Yu, you're awake..."

Su Mo was a little dazed when she suddenly heard the voice. When she looked up, she saw the other person's unusually gentle expression and couldn't help but be a little dazed.

Is this what Xie Yu is like?

He had a fair complexion to begin with, and when he got hot, his jade-like face immediately turned slightly red, with an inexplicable ambiguity between his eyebrows.

At this moment, his dark eyes revealed a kind of tender yet confused emotion. He stared at her blankly for a moment, then closed his eyes again.

Then he reached out and rubbed his brows. Perhaps because of the high fever, some tiny gasps escaped from his throat, but his expression was extremely gentle.

Su Mo was stunned for a moment, she had never seen such a treatment before, she felt that the treatment before her was a little too gentle.

His previous carefree look was gone, and all his bad qualities were gone. He actually became somewhat unlike his usual self.

This man was never like this in front of her. This young man from a noble family did not have a good temper. He was arrogant and seldom showed his vulnerable side in front of others.

When the two of them first met, this man had given her a lot of trouble. He did not show any mercy at all because of her identity as a woman. Instead, he had a deep prejudice against her because of her identity as a demon.

After they became familiar with each other, he often teased her, despised her, and always said all kinds of nonsense to make her angry. Su Mo naturally refused to admit defeat, and the two of them fought and quarreled, but their relationship became closer.

Maybe it's just that everyone has that mentality: the more someone looks down on you, the more you want to see them being impressed by you.

Su Mo thought so too. She thought that she only had a desire to conquer Xie Yu. She thought that the person she really liked in her heart was Brother Xiao who had once saved her life.

But seeing Xie Yu coming to Yizhuang with her so recklessly, it would be a lie to say that she was not moved and did not like him.

Perhaps she had already fallen in love with Xie Yu without realizing it, so she was inexplicably angry with him and inexplicably disliked his gentle demeanor in front of Gu Nanyan, but his unromantic look towards her.

Now that he doesn't even care about his own life for her, Su Mo feels that all those things in the past can be ignored, and feelings are inherently selfish.

Now they are both poisoned and don't know how many days they have left to live. In this case, they might as well speak out what is in their hearts.

As Su Mo thought about it, her heart became more and more beating. She thought about what this person had said before and about their past memories. Every bit of it came to her mind.

Finally, Su Mo couldn't help it, she clenched her fingers and asked nervously, "Xie Yu, if I say that I don't have no feelings for you at all, and I do have some feelings for you, can you please stop making me angry in the future, and can you treat me gently..."

At the end, Su Mo subconsciously held her breath, "Xie Yu, do you still like me?"

Xie Yu was not actually very sober, the other person's voice kept circling in his ears. She was mumbling some words that he could not hear clearly, but he heard the last sentence clearly.

Do you...like me?

Do you like it?

Xie Yu didn't know if that could be considered love, but at that moment, Yanyan's face unconsciously emerged in his mind. He had never thought that he would remember something so deeply before. He even remembered the color of the pendant on her ear so clearly. His mind was full of images of her.

It was the way she smiled and called him Brother Ayu, and then rushed towards him, the way she turned away and ignored him in anger, the way she cried with her eyelashes drooping, and finally the way she kissed him with tears in her eyes...

Countless Yanyan's faces are imprinted in my mind, giving me an unforgettable throbbing sensation.

I don't know why, maybe it's because people are on the verge of death, but the thoughts in my head gradually become clearer. Xie Yu has never understood his own thoughts more clearly than now. I like it, that's it...

If he didn't like her, he wouldn't have been thinking about her all the time. He wouldn't have felt the jealousy and anger that were hard to ignore deep in his heart when he saw her throwing herself into Xiao Guanxue's arms, and he wouldn't have felt the palpitations when she kissed him, so much so that he almost lost control of himself.

How could he not like the little childhood sweetheart he had cherished for more than ten years? How could he not like her?

Xie Yu couldn't help but reach out and touch her face. His lips moved, and he spoke out his deepest thoughts instinctively, "Yeah, I like it. I like it very much..."

Please stop crying, okay?

Su Mo's eyes suddenly turned red after hearing this. She knew, she knew it. If she didn't like him, she wouldn't risk her life to accompany her. "I know it, Xie Yu, I like you too."

Xie Yu seemed to have heard that reply, and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily. His lips moved, and the sound that came out from between his lips and teeth was a little hoarse.

"Be good, Yanyan, don't cry. Brother Yu...it's okay. I'm still going to marry you..."

After hearing those two words, the smile on Su Mo's face suddenly froze.

I felt as if someone had poured a bucket of ice water all over my body, and my heart was chilled to the core.

At that moment, Su Mo felt cold all over. How could Xie Yu call Gu Nanyan's name to her? He was calling Gu Nanyan's name even when he was unconscious. How could he possibly like her?

Su Mo's body went limp and she sat paralyzed on the ground, releasing the hand that had been holding his arm.

Then tears flowed uncontrollably, "Xie Yu, how could you..."

Xie Yu came to his senses when he heard her crying. He saw Su Mo crying and vaguely remembered that he had called Yanyan's name to her. Then he understood what had happened.

He held out his hand. "I'm sorry, I'm not..."

However, Su Mo subconsciously slapped away the fingers he extended to her. Not wanting to see his expression at that moment, she stood up and ran out, wanting to leave this place at all costs.

…

At the same time, Xiao Guanxue and Nan Yan on the other side had also entered the mountain.

Unable to resist the other party's idea of ​​going to Yi Zhuang to take a look from a distance first, Xiao Guanxue had to reluctantly agree.

The road on the mountain is rugged and difficult to find.

Nan Yan had other purposes in going to the charity house to take a look. How could she proceed to the next step without making the person next to her give up completely?

However, the reasons Nan Yan gave were very sufficient, fully demonstrating her consideration for others.

The girl carried her bag and pretended to be kind as she advised him, "Brother Xiao, you are also worried about Sister Su, right? Let's go and take a look, just from a distance. When we see that they are safe, we will immediately look for the antidote, okay?"

"I promise you that I will never cause any trouble. I will listen to you in the future. Let's go and take a look, okay?"

…

Nan Yan had repeated this over and over again countless times along the way, and Xiao Guanxue was so tired of hearing it that his ears were ringing.

Everything she said was for the sake of his Miss Su, and since he was worried about her, he might as well go and take a look. It was really annoying. It was obvious that she was the one who was worried about Xie Yu, but she liked to use him as an excuse. It was ridiculous.

Xiao Guanxue glanced at her impatiently. She was giving him a headache because of the noise. He actually agreed to it in a confused state. She also made him dizzy.

However, he would never admit that he was persuaded by this person, but rather that he agreed to her proposal because he was worried about Su Mo.

The two walked towards the charity house. After walking for a distance, the bloody smell in the surroundings suddenly became stronger. Going further, they came to an area surrounded by wooden fences.

The two couldn't go in, so they could only look from a distance. They happened to see a small wooden house at the foot of the mountain, and a figure suddenly rushed out from inside.

The person seemed to be Su Mo. No one knew what happened to her. Her eyes were red and her expression was sad. Her fingers were tightly covering her chest. She was staggering and dragging her body as she ran aimlessly into the dense forest ahead.

Xiao Guanxue and Nan Yan looked at each other, and just as they were feeling confused, another figure quickly chased out of the wooden house. It was Xie Yu. His face was a little pale, and the situation did not look good. He was chasing in the direction Su Mo left.

As soon as Nan Yan saw him, she stood up subconsciously. Just as she was about to say hello to him, she was suddenly pulled back by Xiao Guanxue who was beside her. He lowered his voice and scolded:

"Don't mess around, have you forgotten what you said?"

Nan Yan naturally remembered it, but her face still showed worry and anxiety, "I didn't do anything rash, let go, let me go, didn't you see that Brother Yu's face looked very wrong?"

"He must be sick, Xiao Guanxue, please let me go, I want to take care of him." After saying this, her eyes turned red, as if she was a little worried, "I told you not to let him go, why didn't he listen to me?"

Nan Yan struggled to pry his wrists open.

Xiao Guanxue just felt extremely troubled. If he had known this would happen, he should not have brought her here. This woman was like losing her mind whenever she heard something about Xie Yu. She would not listen to any good words.

They had stolen from the charity house in the first place. If they were discovered by others, not only would they not be able to go out to find the antidote, they would probably be locked up and would never be able to get out.

Seeing that the woman was struggling more and more violently and making more and more noise, Xiao Guanxue had no choice but to drag her over and hold her from behind. He covered her mouth with one hand to prevent her from shouting, and held her waist tightly with the other hand to prevent her from moving.

At the same time, he whispered in her ear, "Gu Nanyan, don't forget what you said to me when you came here. If we are discovered now, how can we find the antidote and save people?"

Nan Yan was also angry and naturally refused to listen to him, but women are naturally weak and not as strong as Xiao Guanxue. She was held in his arms and couldn't break free.

During the struggle, it seemed that the two people were arguing about something, but because they were too far away, neither of them could hear clearly. They could only vaguely hear words like "sorry, I like" and so on.

Then, Su Mo turned around and rushed into Xie Yu's arms, and this scene successfully stopped the two people who were struggling in the dark.

Nan Yan and Xiao Guanxue stopped what they were doing at the same time, staring blankly at the two people hugging and crying in the dense forest.

Xie Yu's body swayed twice, but he did not avoid Su Mo's arms. He just lowered his head and said some words of apology to her.

But to others, it looked like the two of them were cuddling each other intimately, with Xie Yu's head lowering lower and lower, and the distance between them getting closer and closer... In this situation, Xiao knew what would happen next without thinking too much.

Nan Yan's eyes turned red and she immediately rushed forward with an attitude of not caring about anything.

Xiao Guanxue frowned and quickly grabbed her. No matter how hard she struggled, he finally dragged her out of the forest.

The forest was completely silent, with only the sounds of cicadas and birds chirping in the distance. Nan Yan mustered all her strength, shook off his hand, and shouted at him angrily, "Why are you holding me back?"

Xiao Guanxue was also in a bad mood, but he was still rational, so he said, "If I don't hold you back, what can you do if you rush up? Don't forget what we are here for. The antidote has not been found yet, and we don't have time to bother with these things anymore."

Nan Yan cursed with red eyes, "Why are you still looking for an antidote? Just let them poison them to death."

"Don't you see, they, the two of them, in broad daylight, they... they are so shameless..."

She was feeling embarrassed and angry, and halfway through her speech her tears started to fall uncontrollably, like beads from a broken string.

Xiao Guanxue knew that she was just saying it in anger, so she didn't take it too seriously. After she calmed down a little, he said something in a nonchalant way, "Shouldn't you have known about this a long time ago? The person Xie Yu likes has always been Su Mo, so it's natural for them to be close to each other."

...It's human nature.

When Nan Yan heard this, her eyelashes trembled slightly and her body swayed uncontrollably twice. She felt as if she was struck by five thunderbolts. After being stunned for a moment, she burst into tears without any image.

Xiao Guanxue heard her crying sadly and aggrievedly, and he didn't know why, but the sadness in his heart inexplicably lessened a little.

I guess he wasn't the only one who encountered this kind of thing. Didn't the young lady cry even more miserably than him? It shows a very strange sense of empathy.

Most people have this kind of mentality. When they are sad and upset alone, they will feel that no one in the world is more desperate and miserable than themselves. But once there is someone who is more miserable and sad than themselves, they will feel an indescribable comfort in their hearts.

After all, suffering together is the most effective consolation. Xiao Guanxue felt this way at the moment, and there was even some sympathy in his eyes when he looked at the eldest lady.

Nan Yan gradually stopped crying because she was tired, but her legs had become a little soft from being stiff for too long.

She struggled to stand up, but her feet were unsteady and she was about to fall down. Xiao Guanxue reached out and helped her up in time.

Nan Yan then looked at him with tears in her eyes, then she thought of something and glared at him fiercely. It was unknown whether she wanted to vent her anger or simply disliked him, but she grabbed his shoulder and bit it hard.

Xiao Guanxue hissed in pain but did not move away.

He also knew that the blow this person had suffered was too great, and if he didn't vent it out, he would probably be tortured again, so he simply endured it and thought of letting her bite a few times and that would be it.

After all, it was he who held her back and prevented her from rushing forward to vent her emotions, and men should always be more humble to women.

After a while, Nan Yan's teeth were sore from biting her teeth, and she slowly loosened her mouth, looked up at him, and asked dully, "Aren't you sad?"
