Inside the living room it was bustling with noise, but in the area outside the living room it had fallen into death-like silence.

Big Black and Little Black could no longer remember how long they had been standing to the side. They were quite far away from the sofa area, standing near the staircase landing, with a decorative flower stand blocking the way. As long as Yan Luqing and Gu Ci did not raise their voices, it was impossible to hear what they were saying from here.

From time to time Big Black and Little Black looked at each other’s faces. Although they abided by the rule that bodyguards could not make a sound to disturb, the expressions on their faces were obviously both extremely confused and embarrassed.

Miss Yan and Gu Ci, could it be that they have… cultivated their relationship to fruition?

Why are they… crying and hugging??

And hugging for such a long time???

Little Black had come later. Before entering employment he had hastily crammed knowledge about Yan Luqing, but the Miss Yan he studied and the Miss Yan he now saw—one could not say they were exactly the same, one could only say they had nothing to do with each other.

Big Black, on the other hand, knew best how much Miss Yan had liked Gu Ci in the past. She had collected all sorts of photos others had taken of him, and whoever got close to him she had to investigate, regardless of man or woman. She really had done some things that left people flabbergasted.

Yet after she began to change for the better, apart from being good to Gu Ci, she had never again done those immoral things.

But Big Black still wondered—Gu Ci clearly had never paid attention to Miss Yan, right?

Back in high school, from time to time the Yan and Gu families would meet at various banquets and gatherings. At most, when they first met, Gu Ci would greet the entire Yan family, and along with that nod slightly to Miss Yan, but apart from this there was simply no private contact.

Unexpectedly, in just this one month, their relationship had advanced by leaps and bounds to such a degree.

Leaving aside the absurd things already done before, now they could actually hug and cry… Gu Ci even comforted her, even handed her tissues.

Big Black thought on one hand: truly, if one lives long enough one can see everything.

And on the other hand: truly, not only he and Little Black, even Gu Ci feels that the present Miss Yan is very good.

Although he still worried—after all, how long could this kind of “good” last…

While the two bodyguards were letting their thoughts run wild, over there the two main characters had already risen from the sofa. Only, Yan Luqing’s rising speed was somewhat slow, her posture appearing rather strange.

Just as they were sighing in amazement, they saw Yan Luqing beckon toward them. Big Black and Little Black immediately strode quickly over.

Just a moment ago, when Yan Luqing had spoken out where she was injured—

The very air seemed to stagnate, and at the instant she met Gu Ci’s eyes full of “?”, it could be listed as one of the top most awkward moments since Yan Luqing’s transmigration.

After crying and enjoying the release, she had completely forgotten where she was hurt.

It was all Gu Ci’s fault for asking her best friend so naturally, and for finding medicine so quickly, that she never thought about it.

Yan Luqing leaned close to his ear, then sat a little farther away again. Gu Ci suddenly looked at her and gave a very shallow smile: “Say it again—where are you hurt?”

“……” Yan Luqing looked at his smile, and for no reason at all her face began to redden.

“When I was looking for medicine, why didn’t you say,” Gu Ci’s smile deepened, his eyes beautiful as if they could entice, the tail end of his tone slightly rising, “you wanted your best friend to apply it for you, is that it?”

“It’s not!!” Yan Luqing immediately flew into a rage out of humiliation, her voice rising higher, “I just forgot to say just now! I really forgot!”

After saying this she stood up, but because her buttocks hurt, she had to rise slowly. While standing, she beckoned to Big Black and Little Black not far away, signaling them to come over.

“Help me call a doctor to my room.” When the two arrived in front of her, Yan Luqing said.

Yet Gu Ci, standing to the side, made a merciless addition: “Also get a stretcher and carry her back to her room.”

“……” Yan Luqing waved her hand at Big Black. “Don’t listen to him, hurry hurry hurry.”

The two brothers walked off with utterly baffled faces.

Yan Luqing had originally planned to part ways with him right there, but unexpectedly, a hand suddenly stretched out from the side and grabbed the upper part of her arm, seemingly to help her walk.

How to put it… if one were to use a more precise word to describe the way he held her, it would be to dangle.

Right now it was as if he was dangling her forward as they walked.

Yan Luqing felt that the sensation was actually not bad, only it might look a little strange to outsiders.

Gu Ci escorted her up the stairs, and when they arrived at the door of her room, he glanced at her. “I’m leaving.”

Then he was about to turn and head downstairs.

Yan Luqing suddenly called out toward his back: “Where are you going?”

Perhaps it was because of their earlier interactions, plus the fact that although he mocked her with his mouth he had still escorted her upstairs, Yan Luqing asked this completely on instinct.

As soon as the words were out, she wished she could sew her mouth shut—didn’t this make her seem far too clingy?!

Gu Ci placed one hand on the stair railing and half turned his body to look at her. Before he could speak, Yan Luqing quickly clarified: “I was just asking. You can do whatever you want.” Then she supported her buttocks as she prepared to walk away. “I’m going first, ha.”

But he still called out to stop her.

“Wait.”

Yan Luqing shut her eyes in resignation.

Was he about to activate a skill?

Fine then. Even if she was fated to take his skill attack, she had to look at that good-looking face while accepting it, otherwise wouldn’t she suffer a huge loss.

So Yan Luqing turned her head again to meet Gu Ci’s gaze, only to see him looking at her with a half-smiling expression. He stepped closer by two paces, and in a tone like whispering a secret said: “Of course I’m going to take a shower.”

Yan Luqing: “……”

He pointed to his shoulder, where there was a very large and conspicuous dark patch, and continued: “My clothes were dirtied by my best friend, but my best friend may not know—I actually quite like cleanliness.”

Yan the Best Friend: “…………”

Yan Luqing’s butt was indeed bruised.

This body was very thin. No matter how forcefully Second Brother had pushed, it was only enough to topple someone who was squatting. Yet the fleshiest part had still been bruised this badly—who knew if she had knocked into some other part, like her knees, would it have directly caused a fracture.

When applying medicine to her buttocks, because the doctor had used a bit of ointment for reducing swelling and dispersing bruises, it had to be rubbed in properly. So Yan Luqing lay face down on the bed for quite a long time. Perhaps the doctor’s technique was simply too good, plus Yan Luqing had cried herself too tired downstairs, so after the rubbing was done, she hazily pulled up her pants and collapsed into sleep.

During the time afterward, Yan Luqing received quite a few calls from the Yan family members. Even Old Master Yan himself called her and gave a few words of comforting reassurance.

In this matter she truly was not in the wrong, and they knew this too, so naturally these calls were all to coax her—to tell her how Second Brother had been punished, how he had been beaten even though he had grown up to this age, and even her eldest brother, wearing a suit, had personally driven over to comfort her. Afterward he hurriedly left again, as if rushing off to attend some meeting.

One could see the sincerity, but Yan Luqing was already without the slightest ripple.

In truth, when Yan Luqing had spoken that way to the Yan family’s steward before leaving, it had not been in order to make them coax her now. She had simply wanted to make Second Brother feel bad.

Judging from what they said, he indeed was not doing too well now because she had tattled on him. Since Yan Luqing’s goal had been achieved, she would no longer dwell on this matter.

Two days later, the reward that Makka Pakka had promised her on that day when she was feeling low was finally upgraded.

At the time, Yan Luqing was staying in her room. At one moment she would look at the youthful campus romance between “Little Rose of the Human World” Jiang Baichu and “Little Pine Tree” Qi Yanchuan on WeChat, and at another moment she would look at the one-sided bitter love in the university campus between “Human World Green Tea” You Jing and “Walking Knife” Yu Qin.

Little Rose and Little Pine Tree had already reached the point where the paper window had only half its covering left. All day long it was “He likes me, right?” “She really doesn’t dislike me anymore, right?”—watching this made one feel both sourly envious and overly cloyed.

But the Green Tea and the Knife were just so sour and astringent.

The Green Tea’s pink bubbles were forever: Who is this junior, he’s so handsome, I so want to have him.

And the Knife…

The Knife’s pink bubble: You Jing smiled at me.

Yan Luqing: “……”

The contrast between the two truly was sharp and sour.

Most of the time You Jing was quite happy, but occasionally a blue bubble would also emerge, and Yan Luqing captured it—

Ah, but none of the junior schoolmates are as good-looking as that great beauty I saw that day. Such a pity he has a girlfriend…

Why have they not broken up yet?

Yan Luqing: “…………”

Previously when the Green Tea had said to her, “When you two break up remember to tell me,” at that time Yan Luqing had merely listened and let it pass. She had felt a little embarrassed, but not to the point of taking it to heart—after all, her head had been full of studying then.

But she did not know that after more than a week had passed, now seeing this line again, she would have such an indescribable feeling…

Actually, the heart of a silly fool was very simple, never entangling itself in such things.
