Chapter 1312 - 1312 Humans Are Selfish
1312 Humans Are Selfish
At this moment, Gu Yao was still very puzzled. How did a person like Qiao Xi, who could beat up a group of strong men, suddenly fall sick? Could it be that she had caught a cold during the change in season? However, a cold was not a serious illness. She was such a strong person, so she wouldn’t have needed to apply for leave!
Could she be injured? Had she lost a lot of blood?
Or was it a car accident? Did she break her leg or arm?
It was over! Could it be a terminal illness?!
Countless thoughts appeared in Gu Yao’s mind. Qiao Xi’s dying appearance on the hospital bed had already appeared in front of him. His heart ached, and he quickened his pace.
If Qiao Xi was really disabled or had a terminal illness, he would accompany her with Gu Zheng. In the future…
Gu Yao suddenly pushed the door open. The worry and heartache on his face froze instantly, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Qiao Xi was indeed lying on the bed, but she was holding her phone in her hand and was focused on playing a game. When she saw someone open the door, she raised her eyes and glanced at them.
Gu Yao widened his eyes and looked at her carefully. Then, he asked in shock, “Your leg and arm aren’t broken?”
Qiao Xi: “???”
Couldn’t this brat wish her well?
Qiao Xi suddenly put down her phone and looked at him with a smile. “Gu Yao, I suddenly feel that this game is quite boring. Why don’t you play with me? I want to see if your legs and arms will be broken.”
Gu Yao nodded subconsciously, then his expression changed drastically. He suddenly took a few steps back and shouted in a panic, “Hey! Qiao Xi, don’t be rash! I heard that you were sick and came all the way here to see you. Why do you wanna hit me the moment we meet?!”
Qiao Xi said indifferently, “I’m not sick. I’m just pretending!”
“You’re pretending to be sick?” Gu Yao was stunned for a moment and instantly became nervous. “Why are you pretending to be sick? Did someone in the university bully you? Or did someone in the company bully you? Tell me and I’ll help you deal with them!”
Qiao Xi glanced at him, her heart warm. These were Gu Yao’s sincere thoughts.
She paused for a moment and suddenly asked, “Gu Yao, do you think I’m someone who would feel pain, despair, and even run away cowardly after being hurt?”
Gu Yao’s mind was filled with question marks, then he suddenly thought of Gu Moling. A look of surprise washed over him.
Thinking about Gu Moling’s current outcome, he knew that she was not that kind of person. If someone hurt her, with her character, she would definitely not let that person have an easy time—much less run away cowardly.
At this moment, Gu Yao also sensed that she was not in a good mood. He asked gently, “Qiao Xi, what’s wrong? Why are you asking this? Did you encounter some difficulties?”
Qiao Xi’s lips were tense. Gu Yao was pure and kind, just like a piece of white paper. She did not want to tell Gu Yao those dirty and terrifying things lest he be worried and afraid.
“No matter what happens, tell me. I’ll try my best to help you solve the problem, okay?” Gu Yao’s voice was unprecedentedly gentle as if the person in front of him was not his sister-in-law but a child younger than him.
Gu Yao was so worried that his body was trembling. Qiao Xi was such a strong person. How could she have such an expression? Could it be that she really had an incurable disease?
At this moment, Gu Yao was already so anxious that his forehead was covered in sweat. He paced back and forth in the room and looked at Qiao Xi anxiously. His eyes were clear, bright, and warm.
Qiao Xi was silent for a moment before she said helplessly, “I’m fine for now. It’s just that I had a dream.”
Then, Qiao Xi told Gu Yao about that dream. Gu Yao, who had always been carefree, instantly became serious when he heard that. He rarely revealed such an expression, which did not match his character and age.
Gu Yao knew that since Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng took this matter so seriously, it was very likely that this matter was true. Five years ago, someone had really taken Qiao Xi’s blood.
Suddenly, his face turned pale as he exclaimed, “F*ck!”
He immediately took a step back, and a trace of horror appeared in his eyes. He lowered his voice and said, “That’s not right! You’re immune to all poisons! Moreover, your blood can be regenerated. Doesn’t that mean you’re a blood bank that can cure all poisons? How can you tell others about this? If news of this gets out, you’ll be doomed!”
That was right. Such news could not be spread. After all, humans were selfish by nature. It was hard to guarantee that the people who knew about this would not harm Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi hesitated for a moment. “Others?”
“That’s right!” Gu Yao said anxiously. “If your blood can detoxify all poisons, you’re a walking target now. If this secret gets out, who knows how many demons will want you? If you tell the secret so easily, then…”
