Chapter 140: 117: The Grand Tea Art Competition

Ye Xiao immediately looked at Lin Yun with a tight expression on her face, “Xiaoyun? What’s wrong?”

Lin Yun furrowed her brows, speaking with some pain, “I don’t know what happened, but my stomach suddenly hurts a bit.”

“What’s the matter? Could it be food poisoning?” Ye Xiao was somewhat worried.

Lin Yun showed a fragile expression, “Maybe. There was seafood tonight, and I haven’t had seafood for a long time. It might be that my stomach isn’t used to it.”

“You can’t go on in pain like this, I’ll help you find some medicine.” Ye Xiao’s thoughts were all on Lin Yun now.

Gu Yan watched Lin Yun expressionlessly.

Heh heh.

If Lin Yun really had stomach pain, he would have used his head as a soccer ball for her.

This person, really knows how to act!

Is she trying to compete with him for someone?

Gu Yan raised his eyebrows, suddenly showing a caring look, “Stomach pain can be serious or not. Just taking medicine won’t do. I think a full physical examination at the hospital is necessary, and it would be best to draw a few tubes of blood to check the condition.”

Lin Yun’s expression stiffened for a moment, and while Ye Xiao wasn’t paying attention to her, she couldn’t help but give Gu Yan a cold look.

The bastard still wants to compete with her for someone?

He is the guardian angel sent by heaven to her, why should others take him away!

“Is that so?” Ye Xiao looked worried, “Then we should go to the hospital to have it checked. Otherwise, it would be bad if it delays the illness.”

“Right, we should go now. My driver is waiting outside, I’ll have him take Miss Lin to the hospital straight away,” Gu Yan said.

“Xiaoyun, what do you think?” Ye Xiao couldn’t help but look at Lin Yun.

Lin Yun showed her a pathetic look, “Xiaoxiao, here, you are the only person I know. If I have to go to the hospital, can you accompany me?”

Gu Yan frowned and said coldly, “Lin Yun, you’re an adult now, and, I will have my driver accompany you the whole time. I don’t think it’s necessary to trouble Ye Xiao to go to the hospital with you in the middle of the night.”

“That’s true.” Lin Yun hung her head, her voice filled with loss, “Someone like me should be alone. Xiaoxiao, I can go by myself. You don’t need to worry about me.”

Ye Xiao immediately felt a pang of heartache, and she couldn’t help but glare at Gu Yan, “Gu Yan, what nonsense are you talking! Lin Yun is my friend, and it’s just a trip to the hospital, what’s so troublesome about that!”

Gu Yan: “…”

He felt as if he was that wrongfully accused loyal official from ancient times.

And Lin Yun, naturally, was the crafty and eloquent traitor.

He had long seen through the traitor’s true face and sworn to advise the emperor to death.

But the emperor was too foolish, only laughing with new faces, never hearing the cries of the old ones.

Pitiful him, a loyal official, scorned instead!

Gu Yan made up his mind to take a different approach.

He said warmly, “Xiaoxiao, indeed I wasn’t thoughtful enough. After all, Miss Lin has come from far away, alone here without friends, indeed it’s the moment she needs our care. Let’s accompany her to the hospital together.”

Together?

Lin Yun glanced at Gu Yan.

What did she want Gu Yan to do with her?

She wanted to spend a world of two with Ye Xiao!

“Let’s go, then we’ll go to the hospital right now,” Gu Yan said.

“That’s right,” Ye Xiao nodded, carefully helping Lin Yun up.

Lin Yun took advantage of the situation to lean against Ye Xiao.

Gu Yan: “!!!!”

This bastard, is he taking advantage of Xiaoxiao?

He really wished he could personally step in and pull Lin Yun away.

But still.

He had read in books that boys needed to maintain their virtue, and he certainly didn’t want to get into a tangle with Lin Yun!

Yet, seeing Lin Yun cling to Ye Xiao, he was seething with jealousy.

Lin Yun, relying on Ye Xiao, gave Gu Yan a provocative look.

Gu Yan’s expression immediately turned serious.

Ye Xiao is beautiful, and among her classmates, quite a few had looked at her with subtle admiration.

But.

For Gu Yan, those were child’s play; they posed no threat to him whatsoever.

This time,

Lin Yun actually gave him a feeling of being threatened.

So what if she was a woman?

Anyone who competed with him for Ye Xiao was a rival in love.

Amidst Ye Xiao’s obliviousness and the overt and covert battles between Gu Yan and Lin Yun, they arrived at the hospital.

Lin Yun didn’t dare admit that her stomach pain was feigned, all to continue sticking close to Ye Xiao; she could only pretend to be in so much pain that she couldn’t speak.

“Doctor, she seems to be in serious condition. Run a comprehensive check, we’re not short of money, and we must be thorough,” Gu Yan said with a face full of concern.

Lin Yun couldn’t help but grit her teeth, then leaned even closer to Ye Xiao.

If she had to be checked, so be it, as long as she could stick to Ye Xiao, she didn’t care.

This time, it was Gu Yan’s turn to look upset.

After a bunch of tests which tormented her until midnight, Lin Yun finally quieted down with a box of enteritis medicine.

Lin Yun “weakly” leaned on Ye Xiao and then cast a sidelong glance at Gu Yan, “Mr. Gu, it was nice of you to bring us here. As men and women are different, it’s not appropriate to stay together in the same room at this late hour.”

“Right, we’re already downstairs at the hotel, we can go up on our own,” Ye Xiao also said.

“Xiaoxiao, I’m still scared at night, can I sleep with you?” Lin Yun asked softly.

“Of course,” Ye Xiao readily agreed.

Lin Yun smiled faintly, giving Gu Yan another provocative look.

Gu Yan took a deep breath, and another deep breath, forcibly maintaining his composure as he said warmly, “Alright, I’ll take you to the hotel and then leave, Xiaoxiao, don’t worry, I will never disturb you.”

Lin Yun narrowed her eyes; the taste of green tea was soaring to the skies! Was Gu Yan implying that she was the one disturbing Ye Xiao?

As if not seeing Lin Yun’s murderous gaze, Gu Yan continued, “Xiaoxiao, the goodnight message I originally would send via WeChat, let me say it now, is that okay?”

Gu Yan paused before softly saying, “Xiaoxiao, goodnight.”

His voice inexplicably deepened, giving off that low rumbling tone.

Ye Xiao immediately got goosebumps all over.

She looked at Gu Yan somewhat bewilderedly.

Had Gu Yan lost his mind?

Why was he suddenly showing off like a peacock?

“Xiaoxiao, I’m still not feeling well, let’s hurry back and rest,” Lin Yun said weakly.

Ye Xiao quickly agreed.

Watching the two girls leave intimately, Gu Yan found it unbearably irritating!

Yet, at that moment, he had no standing to express any opinion!

Gu Yan couldn’t help but sigh.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Having a loved one who was too popular was also a kind of pain.

Night.

Lin Yun slept next to Ye Xiao.

Normally, her sleep was light, and she would wake up numerous times during the night. But this time, she felt exceptionally sweet.

She had firmly come to believe that Ye Xiao was the angel sent by heaven to save her.

With Ye Xiao by her side, she could steadfastly believe that she was loved.

This was also precisely the reason she could so easily give up on Luo Li.

Once upon a time,

she had placed many of her hopes on Luo Li, which, when it came down to it, was simply because she was too afraid and anxious.

She felt that she was not worthy of love, so she couldn’t resist immersing herself in even the slightest bit of warmth.

But now it was different.

Heaven was so kind to her, allowing her to hear Xiaoxiao’s inner voice, letting her know the trajectory of the future, giving her time to make changes.

She was loved by Ye Xiao, loved by the world!

As for Luo Li, to hell with him.
