I failed again

Suddenly, Gu Ruiwen remembered something, and he asked, "Just now when I said I saw the bracelet on the hand of the person next to me in the cafeteria, I didn't seem to tell you that the person was An Jinghe. Why did you ask that question directly?"

An Jingcheng said, "I saw the bracelet on Master An's hand at the banquet tonight. After hearing what you said just now, I had a hunch that it was him."

Gu Ruiwen patted his head, accepting his explanation. "By the way, Jingcheng, your name is really similar to An Jinghe's. There's only one character difference. I would have thought you were brothers..."

An Jingcheng glanced at him meaningfully and said nothing.

Is there a possibility that they are brothers?

Gu Ruiwen was suddenly stuck, and his somewhat slow brain started to work at this moment.

He had seen An Jinghe's bracelet before. Except for the engraving on the red agate, which was different from the one on his hand, everything else was the same.

I once asked An Jinghe what the words on the red agate meant. An Jinghe said at the time that the word "和" was the last character of his name, referring to him, An Jinghe.

According to this logic, could the "Cheng" on the bracelet on my hand be the "Cheng" in An Jingcheng's name?

Recalling An Jingcheng's reaction when he saw his bracelet when they first met, Gu Ruiwen vaguely felt that he had grasped the truth.

Could it be that this bracelet was given to me by An Jingcheng?

Thinking about it, Gu Ruiwen asked carefully, "Jing Cheng... Is this bracelet on my hand related to you?"

An Jingcheng was silent for a long time before he slowly nodded and replied, "Well, to be exact, I gave it to you."

An Jingcheng still remembers the scene at that time.

He had just arrived at the training camp and had not received any training yet, but he was driven into a room with everyone else. Before he could react, the person next to him was killed.

The corpse fell straight in front of him, and he was so frightened that he dared not move.

When the man was about to attack him, a knife pierced through his chest from behind. An Jingcheng watched the man fall down, revealing the figure of the person behind him.

Gu Ruiwen drew his knife and looked at An Jingcheng who was lying motionless in front of him, wondering whether he should kill him as well.

An Jingcheng watched as two people died in front of him in just a few seconds. He couldn't help feeling scared and looked at the people in front of him tremblingly.

Gu Ruiwen looked at him for a while and decided to let him go for the time being. If the people behind him had not arrived yet, he would kill him later.

Thinking of this, Gu Ruiwen turned and left to deal with others.

In the end, Gu Ruiwen did not attack An Jingcheng because there were enough people. The door of the room opened and a group of men in black came in to drive them away.

Gu Ruiwen turned his head and saw An Jingcheng standing there in a daze, not moving. Before the man in black could make a move, he ran up and pulled An Jingcheng away.

Back to the dormitory, it’s called a dormitory, but it’s actually just a very large room with surveillance cameras, and all the children in the training camp live in it.

Gu Ruiwen pulled An Jingcheng away from all the children and came to a corner. During this time, An Jingcheng did not move at all, like a puppet, allowing Gu Ruiwen to manipulate him.

"New here? I haven't seen you before." If I had seen such a handsome little brother, I would definitely remember him.

Seeing An Jingcheng standing there in silence, Gu Ruiwen asked again, "Was he kidnapped?"

An Jingcheng nodded slowly, his lips trembling, unable to utter a word.

He was forcibly dragged into a car at the doorstep of his home. His mother was standing there watching indifferently, as if the person being dragged away was not her son, but a kitten or puppy.

That's not right. She has always been caring. If a kitten or puppy was dragged away in front of her, she might step forward to stop it.

Thinking of this, An Jingcheng's tears suddenly flowed down. He couldn't understand why his parents, who had always loved him, suddenly treated him like this.

Is it because that uncle said he was a jinx?

Gu Ruiwen was shocked when he saw An Jingcheng suddenly burst into tears, and thought to himself that he didn't say anything wrong.

Could it be that he was frightened in there just now? Did he just react now? Then his reaction arc is too long, isn't it?

Gu Ruiwen was a little flustered to coax An Jingcheng, "No, why are you crying suddenly? Are you scared? Are you frightened? It's okay, it's okay. If you are afraid, I will protect you in the future. Please stop crying, okay?"

Seeing An Jingcheng's tears falling more and more, Gu Ruiwen felt like he was about to cry too.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind, "Ruiwen, why are you hiding here?"

Gu Ruiwen turned around and saw Qi Anyan and Jiang Yuan walking towards them. There were bloodstains on their clothes, and he could clearly smell the strong smell of blood on them when he got closer.

"An Yan, Jiang Yuan, you came at the right time, please help me coax him." Gu Ruiwen seemed to have seen a savior and quickly gave up his seat.

Qi Anyan and the others then saw An Jingcheng crying. Jiang Yuan said, "I haven't seen him before. Was he just sent here?"

"Yes, as soon as he arrived, they were driven into the room and fought together. He was scared to tears." Gu Ruiwen replied.

Qi Anyan glanced at Gu Ruiwen and said, "I don't know why you have become so kind."

Gu Ruiwen scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly, "I just thought he was good-looking, so I pulled him over to chat for a while, but I don't know why he started crying, and I almost scared him to death."

Qi Anyan rolled his eyes, then looked at An Jingcheng who was still crying. A long time passed and he still didn't know what to say to make An Jingcheng stop crying.

Finally, he said dryly, "Don't cry. You can't leave here even if you cry."

Hearing this, An Jingcheng's tears fell even harder, and Gu Ruiwen and Jiang Yuan were silent.

No, is there anyone who advises others like you? !

Qi Anyan turned to look at Jiang Yuan and said, "I can't do it. I can't persuade him. You do it." Then he pushed Jiang Yuan out.

Jiang Yuan silently complained in his heart, with your good talking skills, it’s doubtful that you can persuade anyone!

Qi Anyan and Gu Ruiwen just stood there, watching Jiang Yuan trying his best to coax people.

It took a long time for An Jingcheng to stop crying, and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Gu Ruiwen looked at An Jingcheng, whose eyes were red from crying, and said with lingering fear, "It's good that you don't cry anymore, it's good that you don't cry anymore. Don't worry, I will keep my word, and I will protect you in the future in the fight."

An Jingcheng looked at Gu Ruiwen and said softly, "Thank you, brother."

Hearing this soft voice, Gu Ruiwen's heart melted, and he said, "But you still have to learn some moves yourself, so that you can protect yourself."

Qi Anyan and Jiang Yuan nodded in agreement.

Without the ability to protect yourself, you can't survive here.

After all, it is impossible for Gu Ruiwen to protect An Jingcheng all the time.

An Jingcheng nodded and said, "I will."

"Brother..., what's your name?" An Jingcheng asked timidly.

Gu Ruiwen replied with a smile, "My name is Gu Ruiwen. Hey, how old are you?"

"Six years old." An Jingcheng said.

"Then I am one year older than you, so you have to call me brother." Gu Ruiwen said with a smile.

An Jingcheng called out in a low voice, "Brother Ruiwen," and Gu Ruiwen responded with a smile.

An Jingcheng looked at Qi Anyan and Jiang Yuan again and asked Gu Ruiwen, "What about them? Are they brothers too?"

So, Gu Ruiwen introduced Qi Anyan and others to him.

"This is your brother who has been persuading you for a long time. His name is Jiang Yuan, and he is two years older than you." Gu Ruiwen pointed at Jiang Yuan and introduced him.

An Jingcheng nodded, indicating that he had remembered it, "Brother Jiang Yuan, thank you for what I said just now."

Jiang Yuan waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's my duty."

Then, Gu Ruiwen looked at Qi Anyan and said, "This is the brother who just made you cry even harder. His name is Qi Anyan. He is one year older than you, just like me."

Qi Anyan was silent after listening to the introduction, until An Jingcheng called him "Brother Anyan" in a soft voice, he responded with a smile.

"Your brother An Yan is not good at persuading people, so don't bother with him about what happened just now." Gu Ruiwen said.

"Of course not. Brother Anyan just wants to comfort me and tell me not to cry. I know that." Qi Anyan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing An Jingcheng say that.

Qi Anyan asked, "What about you? What's your name?"

"My name is An Jingcheng." said An Jingcheng.

The four of them chatted for a while until they heard a bell outside.

Gu Ruiwen pulled up An Jingcheng, who was confused, and followed the crowd out.

Qi Anyan and the others also followed him out, but they went in different directions.

As they walked, Gu Ruiwen explained to An Jingcheng, "This is the training bell. When the bell rings, everyone must arrive at the training location within five minutes. Those who fail to arrive within five minutes will be punished."

"Where are Brother Jiang Yuan and the others going?" An Jingcheng asked puzzledly as he looked at Qi Anyan and Jiang Yuan who had separated from them.

"They work in pairs, so they have to go to another place for training," Gu Ruiwen explained.

An Jingcheng nodded with a vague understanding.

When they arrived at the training place, someone came to teach them the moves, and An Jingcheng learned them in a daze.

After teaching them once, the man left, leaving them to train on their own.

Gu Ruiwen was afraid that An Jingcheng hadn't remembered it, so he wanted to teach him again, but he was surprised to find that An Jingcheng not only remembered it, but also performed it very well.

It seems like this kid doesn't have to worry about anything.

Gu Ruiwen started practicing on his own. By the time he became proficient, An Jingcheng had already finished his practice and had been staying beside him and watching him obediently.

Gu Ruiwen thought about it and then taught An Jingcheng the moves he had taught him before.

An Jingcheng is very smart. He can learn something almost immediately. After practicing a few times, he is basically very proficient. Gu Ruiwen is very envious of him.

At the same time, he felt relieved. It seemed that An Jingcheng didn't need to be protected by himself at all. He could do it on his own.

This idea remained in his mind until the fight three days later. An Jingcheng did not dare to kill anyone and held the knife in his hand but did not dare to move.

Gu Ruiwen was exhausted by what he saw, but he still stepped forward and protected the person behind him.

When they returned to the dormitory, An Jingcheng threw himself into Gu Ruiwen's arms and cried, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't dare, I can't do it..."

Gu Ruiwen patted his back and consoled him, "It's okay, it's okay. If you can't do it, then don't do it. I'll protect you."

Qi Anyan and the others saw this scene when they came over. The two of them took three steps back together tacitly. They only went forward after Gu Ruiwen coaxed the people.

"What's wrong? Are you scared after killing someone for the first time?" Jiang Yuan asked.

Gu Ruiwen had told them before that An Jingcheng had a strong learning ability, and that they might not even need his protection in this fight, and could do it themselves.

Therefore, Jiang Yuan and the others naturally thought that An Jingcheng was crying because he was scared because of his first murder.

As a result, they looked at Gu Ruiwen and shook his head helplessly, saying, "No, it's not. I was too happy too early before."

Qi Anyan asked with some confusion, "What do you mean?"

Gu Ruiwen continued, "Jing Cheng doesn't dare to fight with others."

Qi Anyan's brain was a little slow to react, and he asked in confusion, "Didn't you practice well during practice?"

Gu Ruiwen sighed and said, "He practiced well, but he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart and didn't dare to take action."

Qi Anyan and the others were silent for a long time before Jiang Yuan said, "It's okay, it's normal. After all, when Anyan first came, didn't he hide behind me for a long time and didn't dare to make a move? Isn't it the same now..."

After meeting An Jingcheng's gaze, Jiang Yuan swallowed back the rest of his words and said, "Anyway, it will be fine after a while."

Gu Ruiwen patted An Jingcheng on the back and comforted him, "It's okay, if you don't dare, then don't dare. I will still protect you."

Even so, although An Jingcheng was very strong every time he practiced, and even beat Gu Ruiwen several times in sparring, when it came to fighting, An Jingcheng did not dare to take action at all. He could only hide behind Gu Ruiwen and let the other party protect him.

After fighting for who knows how many times, Gu Ruiwen was seriously injured, but he still tried his best to comfort An Jingcheng that he was fine and told him not to cry.

An Jingcheng looked at him, barely breathing, and was terribly afraid that he would die.

After thinking for a while, he took off the bracelet on his hand and put it on Gu Ruiwen, saying in a tearful voice, "This is what my parents asked for for me. It can keep me safe. You wear it."

“Okay... okay... I’ll wear it... and no... I won’t take it off.” said Gu Ruiwen.

Although he said so, Gu Ruiwen was clearly aware of his current physical condition and was afraid that he would not be able to survive the fighting in three days.

Fortunately, An Jingcheng is very strong.

Unfortunately, An Jingcheng didn't dare to kill anyone.

But here, if you don’t kill others, others will kill you. After all, the number of people who can survive each time is limited.

Gu Ruiwen was a little worried. If he really died in the next fight, how would he survive given An Jingcheng's personality?

So, for the next three days, Gu Ruiwen tried to persuade An Jingcheng to overcome the hurdle in his heart, but the effect seemed not very significant.

Three days later, the fight came as expected. Gu Ruiwen was really out of strength in the end, and thought that with An Jingcheng's strength, he could protect himself even without him.

So, he did not hesitate to use his own death to buy An Jingcheng a way out.
