Chapter 29: I am Her Husband (1/2)
“Hey, bro, let me ask you something.” Gu Qingyu was ready for some gossip.
Qi Wan followed suit. “Say it, bro, what?”
“How did you get here?”
“Um…” Qi Wan shook his head in embarrassment. “It was just an accident.”
“Oh come on, spit it out!” Gu Qingyu’s suppressed love for gossip finally had a chance to shine.
“Hahaha…” Qi Wan laughed in a low voice. “You first.”
“Hmm…” Gu Qingyu thought for a bit. “Alright. I was a psychiatrist, and I work at a hospital. That night, there was a really bad storm, and I was about to go home. I was chased by someone in a black robe, then I ran to the morgue and was killed before I could react… You?”
“Oof, that sounds terrifying!” Qi Wan nodded in approval, almost mockingly. “As for me, I was having dinner at home, then a black-robed man broke in with a knife! That gave me such a shock that I choked to death on my own dinner!”
Gu Qingyu’s eyes widened, then peals of laughter escaped her lips. “Pff, hahaha! Qi Wan, you choked yourself before they could even kill you!” Qi Wan glared at Gu Qingyu in regret and hastened his steps. Gu Qingyu also quickened and caught up with the others.
Gu Qingyu caught up to the Jia Qizhe in the front. “Hey! Brother Jia!”
“Yeah?” Jia Qizhe looked at Gu Qingyu.
“Hehehehehe!” Gu Qingyu laughed sheepishly. “Brother Jia, you look so powerful!”
“‘Look’? do you want to have a try for yourself?” Jia Qizhe’s tone was flat, he seemed unconcerned but there was a hint of playfulness.
“Sure!” Gu Qingyu seemed excited as if that was what she was waiting for! Jia Qizhe was taken aback, he never thought she would reply to him in such a manner.
“Sure?” Jia Qizhe raised his eyebrows.
“Yep! When?” Gu Qingyu’s face was full of anticipation.
Jia Qizhe flatly said, “In your dreams.”
“A good answer!” Gu Qingyu yelled, then said weakly. “What a wet blanket…”
“Brother Zhu, don’t worry.” Qi Yichen walked over, waving his fan, he affectionately tapped Gu Qingyu’s shoulder. “We all know how powerful Brother Jia is, he must be scared of hurting you!”
“Hurt?” Gu Qingyu looked at Qi Yichen as if he was a fool. “Qi Yichen, can you have Mo Bai take a look at you?”
“Huh? Why?”
“Hmm,” Gu Qingyu looked at Mo Bai and ignored Qi Yichen. “Mo Bai, do you know how to cure stupidity?”
“...Brother Zhu, I don’t know.” Mo Bai stated. “Sometimes, it will get better if you hit the head a few times.” (This is fictional, do not try this at home.) Mo Bai’s gentle words concealed a smile, but it made Qi Yichen shudder and quietly retreated to one side.
They all laughed and chatted happily along the way.
“When will we get there?” Gu Qingyu said breathlessly. Her stamina could not keep up!
“It’ll take one more day.” Murong Zuoyu looked at Gu Qingyu. “What’s wrong?”
Gu Qingyu rolled her eyes. “I’m so tired...”
“Are you even a man?” Qi Wan said mockingly, “Even the only girl did not complain of being tired!” He accentuated the word ‘only’.
Gu Qingyu gritted her teeth. “You knew full well that I don’t count as a man!”
“Hahaha…” Qi Wan felt his head giving cold sweat.
Jia Qizhe looked at the tavern in the distance. “Let’s stop here for today.”
Gu Qingyu looked up at the sky. “It’s evening already, I didn’t even notice. ”
A sign was hung above the tavern, saying ‘Prosperity Tavern’ Um, do shops in ancient times have such...direct names? I was thinking, probably there is ‘Woeful Tavern’ not far from here?
Gu Qingyu nodded. “Actually...why aren’t we flying?”
Qi Yichen looked at her as if she lost her marbles. “We’re conserving our energy today, we’re flying tomorrow.” Gu Qingyu widened her eyes. “Tomorrow? Really? Oh no...”
In the tavern, Qi Wan filled the table with dishes.
“Qi Wan, you seem quite rich…” Gu Qingyu propped up her chin with both hands and looked at Qi Wan.
Qi Wan sniggered. “Well, what can I say. Money is all I’ve got!”
“Huh, is that so?” Gu Qingyu’s eyes sparkled. “We’re rich, I’m rich! Ah, how could I take this!” Is he the legendary hyper rich kid?
Ahem.Qi Wan had a couple of dry coughs. “Brother Zhu, it’s technically my money. Are you not concerned?”
Gu Qingyu immediately shuffled over to Qi Wan, placed her hand on his shoulder and asked seriously, “We’re good friends, right?”
Qi Wan nodded dumbly.
“So…” Gu Qingyu took a huge breath. “What’s yours is mine, what’s mine is still mine!”
Qi Wan gawked. How could someone like this exist! The answer was closer than you think.
Gu Qingyu was satisfied and dug into the food. “Then it’s decided! Yay! ”
