Each world be

Shi Qing had just laid down to rest when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.

She suddenly came to her senses and realized that the poison was taking effect.

It was like a rusty knife, slowly cutting off every inch of her skin, causing unbearable pain.

It was as if someone was pulling her intestines apart, churning them around, and tying them into knots, and the pain was mixed with an unbearable aching pain.

I couldn't help but curl up into a ball, holding my hands tightly together, trying to suppress the pain in my stomach as much as possible.

He groaned, then clenched his teeth to suppress the moan that was squeezed into his throat.

This is the picture that Gu Xiao saw as soon as he came in.

The girl curled up with her back to him, her thin shoulders trembling uncontrollably, as if she was in extreme pain.

"A Qing, what's wrong with you?" He ran over worriedly and turned the girl on the bed over so that she leaned against his arms.

"Gu Xiao, I..."

She opened her misty almond eyes, her face was pale, cold sweat soaked the hair at her temples, and her voice was a little tearful, "My stomach hurts."

"Why do you have a stomachache? Did you eat something bad?" Gu Xiao saw that her lower lip was bleeding from biting it.

With an anxious look on his face, he saw her holding her stomach tightly, so he reached out and rubbed it for her.

Maybe it's because she knows that someone cares about her and that someone is suffering with her.

Shi Qing said aggrievedly: "Either I have a stomachache or I feel pain."

Seeing that she was in so much pain that she was about to cry, the pain in Gu Xiao's eyes almost overflowed.

He comforted her softly, "Ah Qing, it doesn't hurt. Let's go down the mountain and see a doctor now, okay?"

“No.” Although Shi Qing was in so much pain that his rationality was about to collapse, he also knew that the poison in himself could not be cured by ordinary people.

She pulled Gu Xiao's sleeve and said, "Gu Xiao, don't go."

"Ah Qing, be good. We'll get better only if we go see a doctor." Gu Xiao didn't know the reason and thought she just didn't want to go.

"Gu Xiao, just stay here with me, it will be fine in a while." The girl bit her pale lips, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Okay, I won't leave." Gu Xiao also thought that it would only be a while like she said, so he kept holding Shi Qing, gently rubbing her head, expressing his concern silently.

However, the girl in his arms didn't seem to be feeling any better, with her brows furrowed.

It was not until late at night that I fell into a deep sleep.

Even in his dreams, he was still pale, sweating profusely, and sleeping very uneasily.

Gu Xiao felt so sad seeing her suffering that his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife, making it hard for him to breathe.

Her calloused fingers gently brushed away the hair stuck to her face, her eyes filled with sorrow.

After a night of bizarre dreams, Shi Qing finally woke up in bright light.

When I opened my eyes, what I saw was a muscular chest.

She was suddenly startled and looked up. She saw the handsome face with sharp edges, sleeping peacefully.

Even when she fell asleep, Gu Xiao's strong arms were still placed heavily on her waist, holding her tightly in his arms.

After a night of torture from the poison, Shi Qing now felt weak all over.

I felt a dull pain emanating from every pore, as if someone was strangling my chest and making it difficult to breathe.

She just quietly looked at the face so close to her, and out of curiosity she raised her hand and traced every one of his contours inch by inch in the air.

As if feeling her movements, Gu Xiao slowly woke up and saw Shi Qing blinking and looking at him tenderly.

"A Qing, you're awake. How do you feel now?" Gu Xiao asked in surprise.

"I'm fine. But why are you in my bed?" The girl in his arms looked at him calmly.

Gu Xiao finally realized where he was. His face froze, and then he smiled meaningfully, "It was Ah Qing who held me tightly last night and refused to let go. I couldn't leave even if I wanted to."

"Really?" She tried hard to recall the scene of last night. She was lying in Gu Xiao's arms, but she didn't seem to beg him.

"A Qing, are you really okay now?" Without waiting for her to answer, Gu Xiao asked her again, his eyes full of worry.

"My stomach doesn't hurt anymore, but I feel a little weak."

"Then I'll go make breakfast first, and we'll go see the doctor later." Gu Xiao got out of bed, put on his coat, and walked out the door.

Half an hour later.

"Gu Xiao, I don't want to go down the mountain, so you don't have to go either, okay?" After finishing the light porridge in the bowl, Shi Qing begged him, "Just stay and accompany me."

"But I'm worried about your health, Ah Qing. You had a strange stomachache last night. Let's go see a doctor. I'll give you some candied haws and peach biscuits when we get back, okay?"

"Okay then." After a while, she finally compromised.

An ordinary doctor should not be able to tell that she was poisoned, so this would also make Gu Xiao feel at ease.

As long as I can endure the remaining half a month, I can complete the task beautifully.

System: [Host, don’t you intend to let the hero know the truth?]

Shi Qing: [Even if he knows, what can he do? It's just a waste of time, and it will delay his sword practice.]

System: [But, if the male protagonist saw you suddenly die, wouldn’t that be very depressing?]

After a long silence, Shi Qing said: [But system, didn’t you say they are just a string of data?]

She suddenly smiled, "Besides, what difference does it make if you die early or late? The ending is the same."

It is gradually entering late autumn. Although the sun is shining brightly outside, it is still a little chilly.

Putting on a slightly thicker coat, they rode down the mountain.

"I told you it was nothing, but you looked so worried." After seeing the doctor, Shi Qing smiled at him.

"I'm glad you're okay. You don't know I was really worried about you last night." Gu Xiao smiled gently.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. By the way, where is the food you promised me?" Shi Qing changed the subject and looked at him with blinking eyes.

"I'll go buy it now. You wait here and I'll be back soon." Just like that night in Lizhou City, he excitedly blended into the crowd and disappeared.

After he left, Shi Qing looked around bored.

Suddenly, a dark figure and several inconspicuous men in black behind him caught my eye.

Shen Yan!

Her heart skipped a beat and she reflexively looked in Gu Xiao's direction. She absolutely could not let Gu Xiao face him.

Shen Yan is a man with unfathomable martial arts skills. Gu Xiao is still unable to fully grasp the swordsmanship. It would be disastrous if he snatched the secret book away from him.

Looking at the person getting closer and closer, she deliberately made a noise and ran in the opposite direction of Gu Xiao.

Her running made her particularly conspicuous in the crowd. Looking at the familiar figure from behind, Shen Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and raised the corners of his mouth.

Shi Qing made sure that he had run far away from Gu Xiao before he stopped to catch his breath.

She turned around and didn't see Shen Yan. Could it be that he didn't chase after her?

Thinking of this, she turned her head and suddenly stopped.

At the corner of the alley, a figure in white boots and black clothes slowly walked out. It was Shen Yan.

There was a faint smile on his devilish face, and his pair of phoenix eyes looked at her dangerously. His eyes were dark and it was difficult to tell the emotion in them.

"Ah Qing, you really made it easy for me to find you."
