Gu Yiâan said, âYup, Iâm going over to take a look. The weatherâs pretty good now!â
The village chief nodded. âThatâs right, the air is great here! Itâs our standard of living that needs some improvement!â
He then scratched his head awkwardly.
Gu Yiâan smiled. âItâs fine! Itâs pretty nice here. You guys are going to check the road right? Iâll follow too. I can help out if thereâs anyone hurt!â
âYouâre so kind, Mr. Gu!â
To Gu Yiâan, these villagers were one of the most innocent and kind souls he knew. He wondered how they would react if they found out about his real identity and background.
Gu Yiâan followed the village chief as the entire team broke into two. Gu Yiâanâs group made their way to the area where Gu Yiâan had been stuck previously. For some reason, Gu Yiâan felt uneasy.
The village chief said, âMr. Gu, I remember meeting you somewhere here!â
Distracted by his own thoughts, Gu Yiâan grunted in acknowledgement before asking, âChief, Iâm sorry, I didnât hear you clearly earlier. What did you say?â
Sensing that Gu Yiâan seemed distracted, the village chief then said, âItâs nothing. It seems like everything will be fine today!â
âChief, thereâs a car stuck in front!â
The car was trapped under mud and tree branches, but Gu Yiâan could tell that the car was made of a very sturdy material since it did not get bent out of shape.
However, it looked like someone was trapped in the vehicle.
After the villagers cleared the mud and tree branches, they were still unable to ascertain the condition inside of the vehicle.
Everyone seemed to be at a loss for what to do at this point.
Gu Yiâan then took a shovel from a villager and said, âLet me take a look!â
The rest of them backed away as Gu Yiâan went up to the car.
He used a tissue to wipe the carâs window and looked into it. It looked like there was someone who was unconscious inside.
That person must have passed out due to a temporary lack of air in the enclosed space.
He thus broke the window on the other side of the car so that he could enter, but he was shocked at what he saw.
It was Guan Zijue in the driverâs seat.
Though he was prepared for the possibility of Guan Zijue locating him, he did not expect for Guan Zijue to do so this quickly, not when he was in such an obscure and inaccessible village.
Gu Yiâan worked quickly as he entered and checked on Guan Zijue.
He checked Guan Zijueâs pupils and found that his breathing was rather shallow. He opened the door and pulled Guan Zijue out of the car.
Gu Yiâan yelled at Guan Zijue loudly, but the latter did not respond.
Frantic, Gu Yiâan started to give Guan Zijue rescue breaths.
The villagers watched in terror and confusion as their lips touched. They were rather conservative and most of them could not comprehend what was actually happening.
Several of the villagers looked at the village chief, as if saying, Look at what Mr. Gu is doing. Is that okay?!
The village chief simply shook his head and signalled for the others to remain silent.
Seeing no response from Guan Zijue, Gu Yiâan was about to start chest compressions when a hand stopped him from doing so.
Gu Yiâan stared at Guan Zijue, shocked. I thought he was unconscious? Why did he...
In an instant, he realized that Guan Zijue did everything on purpose.
This infuriated Gu Yiâan.?I canât believe he did this.
Gu Yiâan thus let go of Guan Zijue and turned to leave.
Guan Zijue stood up and called out in a hoarse voice, âYiâan!â
Guan Zijue had spent the past few days searching for Gu Yiâan, and all he could think about while he was trapped was Gu Yiâan.
He wondered if Gu Yiâan would mock him for being crushed to death in a vehicle like that. He never would have thought that it would be Gu Yiâan saving him.
He was in a state of bliss when Gu Yiâan held him earlier, and he had actually reacted a little when he felt Gu Yiâanâs lips against his. However, Gu Yiâan was too frantic to notice the tiny movement from Guan Zijue, which was why Guan Zijue decided to pretend that he was still unconscious.
He wanted to enjoy every moment with Gu Yiâan.
Gu Yiâan turned and asked coldly, âWhat?â
âYou were so rough earlier!â
âYou deserve it!â
Guan Zijue then said, âYou might have crushed my organs if I didnât stop you earlier!â
âDonât overthink it. I thought you were dead, so I just wanted to revive you. Donât mind me!â
Guan Zijue smiled. âPingâan, you canât bear to leave me, right? You still care about me, right?â
Noticing how the villagers were observing the situation, Gu Yiâan answered in annoyance, âIâm Gu Yiâan. Please address me by my name. Also, Iâm doing what a doctor should do. Donât read too much into it!â
Gu Yiâan then turned to the village chief and said, âHe should be fine now. Letâs go!â
Gu Yiâan then made his way back to the village with the rest following him after casting a second glance at Guan Zijue. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
A trace of disappointment flashed in Guan Zijueâs eyes.
After a moment of contemplation, he decided to follow the group in his car.
This annoyed Gu Yiâan yet again. Whatever. Iâm not going to care about him. He can do whatever he wants.
When they returned to the village, Guan Zijue parked his range rover right in front of Gu Yiâanâs clinic, where he started to clean up the broken glass and washed the vehicle with rainwater.
Gu Yiâan walked up to him and said, âCould you please move your vehicle? Youâre a nuisance here!â
Guan Zijue looked at his car before turning to look at the entrance of his clinic, noting that there was quite a distance between the two. He then asked, âReally? Am I a nuisance?â
Guan Zijue decided to move his car to somewhere opposite the clinic instead.
Why is he doing this!
I like how peaceful my life is right now, and I donât want that to change. Doesnât he get it?
Guan Zijue knew what was on Gu Yiâanâs mind, but he refused to leave. He felt that he might not get to meet Gu Yiâan ever again if he left this time.
Seeing how stubborn Guan Zijue was, Gu Yiâan decided to ignore him. Whatever. Iâll just let him be!
He then turned back into his clinic, but Guan Zijue walked in just moments later.
âWhy are you here?â
âTo get treated!â
âYou...â
âWhat? Isnât this a clinic?â
Tamping down his anger, Gu Yiâan said, âTake a seat. Are you unwell?â
âDo doctors just ask patients if theyâre unwell without even looking at them or taking their pulse?â
âGive me your arm!â
Guan Zijue stretched out an arm obediently.
After a while, Gu Yiâan could tell that Guan Zijue was perfectly healthy.
âI think there's something wrong with your brain!â
