Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy

After reading it, Gu Yao could only think of "mmp" (a vulgar expression).

Being love-struck is a bad thing.

Feeling his heart pounding in his chest, Gu Yao's breathing became unsteady; the original owner's emotions were affecting him.

Even the slightest thought could destabilize his mind, so one can only imagine what kind of desperate situation this upright and noble young master Gu was forced into, and how he was deceived to the point of such despair.

Gu Yao took a deep breath to calm himself down and covered his chest.

Don't worry, I will get this debt back for you.

Gu Yao is only of marriageable age now, and has ten more years to go.

Gu Yao sorted through his memories and realized something was wrong. The plot said that Qin Chen saved the young Xi Yue, but in Gu Yao's memory, it was Gu Yao, who was recuperating at his maternal grandparents' house at the time, who saved the young Xi Yue.

Is it a plot hole?

The plot is extremely vague about the two protagonists' childhood experiences, and Gu Yao can't find any more clues for the time being.

The noisy footsteps outside the door interrupted Gu Yao's thoughts. A beautiful woman, her eyes full of joy, rushed forward upon seeing Gu Yao and pulled him into her arms.

"Yao'er, you're finally awake! You had a high fever for the past few days, it scared your mother to death."

Gu Yao was suddenly embraced, and the boy's frail and thin body, which had been weak for many years, fell into a fragrant and warm embrace, which made people feel at ease.

Gu Yao lingered, nuzzling his head against Fan Li's neck.

"Mom, I'm fine."

Fan Li released Gu Yao, looked him up and down, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."

Gu Yao then began to examine the people in the room. Based on his memory, he confirmed their identities. The refined man with his hand on Fan Li should be the current Prime Minister, Gu Jizhou, and the young man beside him should be the eldest son of the Gu family, Gu Cheng.

Gu Yao smiled and said, "Your son is unfilial and has caused your father and mother worry."

Before Gu Jizhou could speak, Fan Li spoke first, immediately launching into a tirade against Prime Minister Gu.

“If your father hadn’t disbelieved the master and called him a fraud, and had let you stay in the capital, you wouldn’t be suffering like this. You’ve been in poor health since birth, and it hasn’t gotten better. We originally planned to send you to your maternal grandparents’ home at the beginning of the year to recuperate. The climate in Jiangnan is pleasant and perfect for recuperation.”

Knowing he was in the wrong, Prime Minister Gu dared not speak after being scolded by his wife, and could only awkwardly touch his nose.

After a while, he felt he should maintain the dignity of the head of the family, so he coughed lightly and spoke.

“Yao’er, your mother and I have already discussed it. You will set off for your maternal grandparents’ home in Jiangnan in a month to recuperate. Just as the master said, you will return when you are eighteen years old, and then you will be safe and well.”

Gu Yao lowered his eyes, his thoughts churning.

Are we starting to move on to the main storyline so soon?

No matter how excited he was inside, Gu Yao remained calm on the surface.

"Got it, Dad."

*

Sitting in the carriage heading to Jiangnan, Gu Yao felt a little melancholy for no reason. The past month at the Gu family had been too wonderful, and he couldn't help but become a little addicted to it.

Gu Yao couldn't help but think of his parents. If it weren't for those people, he would probably have a happy family.

Raising his eyes, Gu Yao glanced back at the road he had come from, then, without lingering, gently lowered the carriage curtain and walked in the direction he had chosen.

The caravan had been traveling slowly for half a month. In the past few days, due to the recurrence of Gu Yao's old illness, the caravan's progress had slowed down, causing them to fail to reach the post station before dark as planned. They had no choice but to spend the night in the woods.

Gu Yao also felt somewhat apologetic, but his body, still recovering from a serious illness, was really not cooperating.

After a month and a half, Gu Yao finally arrived at his maternal grandfather's house.

The Fan family of Jiangnan is a renowned scholarly family. The patriarch of the Fan family was a great Confucian scholar of his time, with countless students and a good reputation among scholars all over the country.

As soon as Gu Yao got out of the car, he was surrounded by the Fan family. The first person to run up to him was a beautiful woman who smiled happily and took Gu Yao's hand.

"Oh my, this must be Yao'er. Her eyebrows and eyes look just like Third Sister's."

Gu Yao was somewhat overwhelmed by the enthusiasm surrounding him. Just as he was wondering what to do, a light cough came from the outer edge of the circle, and the crowd immediately parted to make way for him.

A kind-looking old man walked up to Gu Yao and patted him on the shoulder.

"You must be Yao'er. I am your maternal grandfather."

Looking at the old man in front of him, Gu Yao smiled and bowed.

"Greetings, maternal grandfather."

Old Master Fan smiled and said, "Alright, don't stand at the door, come inside. Today we'll have a welcome dinner for Yao'er."

A pair of warm, dry hands grasped Gu Yao's sickly, cold hands, the warmth making one's heart flutter.

"Yes, yes, don't let Yao'er stand here in the wind. He's not in good health to begin with, and we don't want him to catch a cold."

"Then let's go in, let's go in."

"Brother Yao is so handsome."

“A man should be handsome, and Yao’er is handsome.”

"..."

"..."

Surrounded by people, like a star being the moon, and listening to the noise around him, Gu Yao felt a sense of peace he had never felt before.

Back in his own courtyard, looking at the meticulous arrangements inside and in his bedroom, Gu Yao felt the importance the Fan family placed on him.

Lying in bed, Gu Yao gently invoked the system.

"Xiao Jiu, can I change the life or death of an important person?"

0529 was a little excited to hear Gu Yao's affectionate address, but didn't know how to respond.

It sighed and said softly, "Host, your current authority is too low. You cannot change the life or death of important characters in the plot. You can save the Fan family, who are on the fringes of the plot, but the Gu family... forcibly changing the plot's trajectory could cause the world to collapse."

Gu Yao was not too disappointed to receive the expected answer.

Seeing the system's hesitant expression, Gu Yao fell into deep thought.

The system is definitely hiding something from me. Is it about access permissions?

If we can't change it, what's the point of starting over?

Seeing Gu Yao's dejected appearance, 0529 turned around a few times and secretly whispered in Gu Yao's ear.

"The host can do more good deeds to collect merit points, which can help someone be reborn into a better family in their next life."

Gu Yao seemed lost in thought, but the system's words brought him back to his senses, and he smiled.

"Then I'll be a good person."

Perhaps due to the exhaustion from days of travel, Gu Yao fell asleep while thinking about things.
