Gu Nanyan helped him walk towards "Wei Shengxi". Even though she knew that Fu Muqian was in a very bad state, she also knew very well that she could not stop him.
She took a pill from the pouch and fed it to him, saying, "Don't hurt him, he... is afraid of pain."
Gu Nanyan didn't know how he said those words. The good friends who had been chatting and having dinner together last night had become... today!
Fu Muqian swallowed the pill, and Gu Nanyan released him, staggering a couple of steps before he could walk more steadily.
He knelt on the ground, but dared not touch the "corpse" that was charred beyond recognition.
Zixi is actually very afraid of pain and bitterness.
Because of his age, he learned to hide himself at a very young age.
Only in front of them will I show my truest self.
He still remembered the time when Zixi had a fever and he wanted to give him medicine. Zixi was unconscious, but when he knew it was him, he showed a vivid but repulsive expression.
He finally managed to coax him into drinking the bowl of medicine, and then gave him a piece of maltose, which made him feel better.
Several times after leaving the Weisheng family, he would ask him to have a meal together. Zixi would always extend his arm and tell him that he was actually in a lot of pain when he was injected with the medicine, and he would always take the opportunity to ask for a couple more pieces of maltose.
It is said that Master Shen is controlled by the eldest son to eat less sweets, but isn't he also controlling Zixi's sweets?
His Zixi was not as resolute as the outside world perceived.
He's only in his early twenties. He feels pain, he cries, he wants sweets, and he wants his family to pamper him.
This is where the bomb originated. He dared not think about how much pain his Zixi must have been in.
Fu Muqian's hand trembled as he tried to touch him. "Jinghe, I'll take you home."
Wei Shengxi, courtesy name Jinghe.
Wei Shengsui would not have given him a name that meant bright and splendid. It was Fu Muqian who took two jars of wine brewed by his great-grandfather from his home and went to find Zou Bingjun to ask him to give Wei Shengxi a courtesy name.
They rarely addressed each other by their courtesy names; most used the character "子" followed by a single character.
It is only used on very formal occasions.
For example, Wei Shengxi's courtesy name was only called out once during his coming-of-age ceremony, when the chief guest publicly called out his courtesy name.
Fu Muqian saw that his hands were very dirty, so he used the only clean part of his robe to vigorously wipe them away the bloodstains. Because he used too much force, blood flowed freely.
Approaching thirty, Young Master Fu acted like a child who had done something wrong, constantly wiping the blood from his hands.
"Ziqian." Gu Nanyan knelt on the ground, took out a clean handkerchief, held Fu Muqian's wrist, and wiped it carefully. "It's clean now, Zixi won't... dislike you."
Her phoenix eyes opened slightly, and they were also filled with tears. Gu Nanyan choked back sobs, but she held back her tears.
Gu Nanyan had also been without sleep for almost a day and a night, but this was nothing to the Gu family.
But the deepest sorrow and pain are the most hurtful.
"Does he really not know how?" Fu Muqian asked softly, his eyes glazed over.
"No, Zixi relies on you the most."
Gu Nanyan never believed that Wei Shengxi liked him.
The look in someone's eyes when they love them is impossible to hide, and the person being secretly loved can usually sense it to some extent.
But she couldn't feel Wei Shengxi's affection or love for her at all.
Similarly, one's expression cannot be hidden.
Zixi is very independent in front of them, but in front of Ziqian, she becomes more like a child, relying on Ziqian in every way.
He naturally accepted whatever Ziqian did for him.
Whenever they tried to do something for him, Zixi would always decline for a long time.
Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly.
“No… Jinghe… Jinghe won’t.” Fu Muqian murmured, bending down to pick up “Wei Shengxi” around the waist. He was extra careful, afraid that he would be in pain, and walked out step by step.
Xie Yunyu helped Chen Juanqing up and prepared to leave.
Gu Nanyu arrived at some unknown time, and quickly came to Gu Nanyan's side, saying, "Elder sister..."
When he received the news of Xi-ge's death, his first reaction was—it's fake! Which bastard is spreading this nonsense?!
How could Brother Xi have passed away!
But later, I heard from Zhaojun herself that she had also come over.
Just now, I saw Brother Qian with a full head of silver hair holding a... corpse, his eyes were bloodshot, his clothes were tattered, and he was injured.
With Xie Gongzi supporting him, Qing Ge could barely walk normally.
And his sister, kneeling on the ground, head bowed, her gaze unfocused.
He didn't even notice him coming over.
"Ah..." Gu Nanyan looked up and saw that it was Gu Nanyu. He seemed to come back to his senses. Gu Nanyu helped Gu Nanyan up. "Brother Yu..."
Gu Nanyan closed her eyes, raised her right hand and pinched her brows. It took her a while to come back to her senses. Her seemingly tired voice was filled with a deadly chill, "Investigate, what's going on with the explosives here?"
"Let Feng You take control of the Elders' Council, the Enforcement Division, and the Medical Alliance."
"Keep Fuyun Island sealed off. Have Sister Jiong bring people over."
"Those who should be brought back to the Empire for military tribunal, don't leave a single one out."
"I don't want to hear any news of anyone fleeing to another country."
"Yes!" Gu Nanyu knew that his sister was determined to kill him.
"Feng You, take your men and handle things here properly. For details, contact Sister Man," Gu Nanyan continued to instruct.
"yes."
"Ziyan...do you think it was Zixi who arranged it?" Shen Juanqing appeared beside Gu Nanyan at some point, her eyes bloodshot, and she was clearly not in a good state.
