The group didn't rush to leave, waiting until Ning Yao returned.
Ning Yao held a gift box in her hand and walked up to Shen Bei'an. "Lord Brown, this is a gift from the underground boxing ring to congratulate you on your five-game winning streak."
His tone was respectful.
Originally, it should have been Yoshinori Shirakawa who came in person, but from the moment he entered the underground boxing ring, it was clear that Shen Beian disliked Yoshinori Shirakawa.
Therefore, Yoshinori Shirakawa did not come to cause any unpleasantness.
Shen Beian did not take the gift box, but looked at Gu Nanyan. Gu Nanyan reached out and took it, saying, "Thank you, Second Young Master Ning." He nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
Ning Yao also bowed her head in greeting, her voice very soft, "Today's matches are over. The boxing ring has set up a Q&A session for the contestants. The five contestants will be coming out soon. Would the four of you like to go over?"
The Q&A session with the boxers is usually also a time for giving them gifts.
Some of the fighters in the underground boxing ring on Fuyun Island are world-renowned boxers.
Under the bright lights, they are cheerful and smiling star boxers, but here they are bloodless demons.
Naturally, many people are willing to praise them.
Moreover, this method is also a good way to launder money.
Gu Nanyan looked down at Shen Bei'an, who gently shook his head; he had no interest in a group of devils.
"No, thank you," Gu Nanyan handed the gift box to Shen Juanqing, then reached out and hugged Shen Bei'an, who wrapped his legs around Gu Nanyan's waist. "I won't stay here today. If Young Master Ning has something to do, you can stay here a little longer."
Ning Yao naturally had to return to the Ning family to report back. She bowed and said, "Since Yao drove the four of you here, she should naturally send you back as well." There was no rush.
Gu Nanyan nodded to Ning Yao and strode outside.
There were quite a few people outside, and Gu Nanyan's posture of holding a child while holding a similarly tall adult male in his arms did not attract much attention.
With such a hugging posture, no one would mistake the person in her arms for a lover's toy or anything like that.
After driving the four of them back to Wushang Loulan, Ning Yao said goodbye to Gu Nanyu and Xiao Qi before leaving.
Gu Nanyu and Xiao Qi looked at each other, neither of them showing much surprise.
It would be quite cruel to show such a scene to someone who has never seen it before.
It's nice to have an elder sister (the master) by your side, brother-in-law (the lord).
It was just that Shen Bei'an was limp and being held by Gu Nan'an in this way, which was quite subtle.
After the five matches, we returned to Wushang Loulan and could have lunch.
Gu Nanyan carried Shen Bei'an directly to the bathroom.
Shen Bei'an still looked listless, letting Gu Nan'an remove his robes and give him a quick wash.
"For lunch, I made squirrel-shaped mandarin fish and jade belt shrimp, which An'an likes, as well as white fungus and lotus seed soup. For dessert, I had someone prepare lychee paste and lotus seed and mint soup." Gu Nanyan helped Shen Bei'an put on a lotus-colored robe with a floral pattern and had lunch brought up.
She still held him in her arms, not letting Shen Beian touch his chopsticks.
The two did not speak during their first meal together; the only sounds were the gentle murmur of running water and very soft chewing.
Even for foods he really liked, Shen Beian had no appetite.
Back in his own territory, he could finally relax completely. Shen Beian no longer hid his emotions; he was in a bad mood.
Gu Nanyan coaxed him repeatedly, and Shen Beian only ate a little, but not much. He didn't eat a single bite of the lychee paste or the lotus seed and mint soup.
I was just about to take a nap when I threw it all up.
Gu Nanyan soothed Shen Bei'an's back again and again, patiently.
Shen Bei'an's phoenix eyes were red and misty as she nestled in Gu Nan'an's arms, looking very obedient.
Like a frightened cat, it huddled in its owner's arms, retracting all its claws and seeking comfort.
"Yan Yan, am I really that bad?" Shen Bei'an felt a bit disgusted with himself. Why was it that things that his family and friends could accept became so difficult for him?
"No, sweetie, you've done a great job. Most people wouldn't be able to stand in such a scene for even a second, but you stayed until the end, enduring it all the way until you came back here and finally relaxed."
Its tone is clear, mellow, and low, like a gentle breeze on a summer night, making one feel relaxed and comfortable.
"If you really think I'm bad, it's me who's bad." Gu Nanyan's voice was low as he said this, and even carried a hint of humility.
Shen Bei'an suddenly looked up and immediately retorted, "Yan Yan is not bad at all!"
Her peach blossom eyes were still watery, her body was trembling, and her hands were tightly gripping Gu Nanyan's robe.
Gu Nanyan cupped Shen Bei'an's face in his hands. He wasn't wearing his glasses, and his dark blue phoenix eyes met those captivating peach blossom eyes that were filled with a light mist.
“My baby has grown up with me since she was little. If it weren’t for me, she might have seen these scenes long ago, and she wouldn’t react this way now.”
“If it weren’t for me, Guai Guai might not have come to Fuyun Island, wouldn’t have to see these things, and wouldn’t have to get involved in these conflicts.”
Each word, spoken in a clear, cold voice like jade porcelain, brought a sense of tranquility to the listener.
Shen Bei'an stared at her blankly, without saying a word.
"So sweetie, you've already done a great job. It takes time to adapt. And I'm so happy that you're willing to stay by my side and learn and adapt to these things that you don't need to see or know."
He lowered his head and placed a devout kiss on Shen Beian's forehead, like a medieval European believer offering everything to God.
"Really..." Shen Bei'an murmured. Was he really that great?
"Of course, I'm very lucky to have Guai Guai around. That's why I have the best shield and the best spear in the world." Her phoenix eyes held countless stars, like an endless galaxy that beckons you to delve deeper, stretching as far as the eye can see.
"It was my darling who helped me find the meaning of striving."
This sentence is exceptionally long.
Gu Nanyan was born a favored daughter of heaven; she was talented and capable, and learned everything very quickly.
It is also easy to get bored with.
As scions of prominent families, while other young masters were still pondering how to master the Six Arts of a Gentleman, Gu Nanyan had already begun following Gu Xiuhuang in playing with things like poison, helicopters, and tanks.
It was because of Shen Bei'an's existence that she knew there was someone in this world who needed her protection and needed her to work hard at all times.
The beauty's eyelashes were adorned with pearls, and a blush rose to her fair face. Everything in her mind vanished with this shyness.
Gu Nanyan reached out and pulled Shen Bei'an into his arms, tilting his head to kiss Shen Bei'an's cheek. "Sweetie, I'm here. How about you take a nap?"
Shen Beian hadn't eaten much for lunch, and he threw it all up.
You can't eat right after vomiting.

In fact, many bloody scenes may make our hearts tremble when we read about them in books or movies, but when we actually see those scenes, it's a different story.
