Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy
Chapter 4 The White-Robed Minister
When Xi Yue woke up, everything was pitch black and there was a stinging sensation in his eyes.
He thought it was because it was dark and the lights were off, so he groped around to the side, but unexpectedly fell off the bed.
The pain he had imagined did not come; instead, he fell into an embrace that smelled of spikenard.
A familiar voice came from above, filled with obvious anxiety.
"You woke up but didn't call for help. The doctor said you got poison powder in your eyes and need to rest for a while. You might not be able to see during that time."
Xi Yue felt the stinging pain in his eyes and knew that his eyes wouldn't get better anytime soon.
Now that he has lost contact with his subordinates, it seems the plan has to be shelved, and it looks like he will have to rely on this young master.
With a change of heart, Xi Yue's face showed a hint of melancholy, looking somewhat troubled. "Thank you for saving me, young master, but I am now all alone and suffer from blindness. I'm afraid I have no way to repay you."
Gu Yao helped the man back to bed, feeling a surge of heroic spirit, and gently patted Xi Yue's shoulder.
"It's alright. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. If you don't mind, I can temporarily borrow this farmhouse courtyard to shelter you from the wind and rain."
Xi Yue shook his head. "How could I find that beneath me? My name is Ling Jiu. May I ask your name, brother?"
Gu Yao almost blurted out his real name, but then swallowed it back.
To move forward in the story, I can't reveal my real name.
After playing the innocent young master for so long, I almost lost my voice.
Gu Yao paused for a few seconds, then smiled slightly, "My name is Fu Sheng."
Fu Sheng, Fu Sheng, Fu Sheng.
Only by giving one's life can one be brought back to life.
Xi Yue didn't care about the name; it was just a title, after all.
He bowed respectfully, saying, "In that case, I'm sorry to have troubled you."
This small courtyard was originally a place where Gu Yao would stay temporarily in his spare time, and it was fully equipped with all his daily necessities.
Gu Yao was worried that Xi Yue's blindness would cause him inconvenience, and wanted to leave two servants behind, but he stopped him.
"I am already a great blessing to Brother Fu for having a place to stay."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yao stopped insisting and simply instructed his servants to remove any items in the courtyard that could easily trip someone and move them aside.
Seeing that it was getting late, Xi Yue refused the servants, but he couldn't be without someone by his side right now, so Gu Yao could only send his personal page back to inform his older brothers and sisters.
After the servants left, only Gu Yao and Xi Yue remained in the room.
With vision gone, other senses are amplified infinitely.
Xi Yue could clearly hear the young master's light breathing, which inexplicably made her feel itchy.
Gu Yao was somewhat embarrassed, now he was staring at a "blind man".
Oh, don't look, Xi Yue is blind now.
Gu Yao coughed twice to bring Xi Yue back to his senses. "Brother Ling, you are blind and inconvenient now. It is getting late tonight, so I will stay here and take care of you for the night."
Xi Yue snapped out of her daze and smiled. "If you don't mind, may I call you Asheng?"
Gu Yao wore a smile, but his eyes held a cold glint.
Are you using me as a cover to quickly build a closer relationship and control me?
Gu Yao looked at Xi Yue's unfocused eyes and lowered the coldness in his own.
Since you've become Gu Yao, you have to get into character and not let anyone notice anything amiss.
"Brother Ling, please do as you please."
Upon hearing Gu Yao's address, Xi Yue frowned, wondering what the young master was dissatisfied with.
He's already hinted at it like that.
No matter how much turmoil he felt inside, Xi Yue's expression remained gentle.
They took the initiative again and made their point clear.
“Ah Sheng, there’s no need to be so distant with me. The debt of saving my life is as heavy as Mount Tai. If you don’t mind, you can call me Ah Jiu. That’s what my brothers at home call me.”
After Xi Yue finished speaking, he turned to Gu Yao and waited for Gu Yao's reply.
Gu Yao smiled and spoke softly.
His face was cold, but his voice trembled slightly, as if he was not used to addressing others so intimately, or as if he was a little shy.
“Ah, Ah Jiu.”
The clear, soft, yet slightly hesitant voice of the young man entered Xi Yue's ears, causing his heart to skip a beat.
He turned his head toward the direction of the voice, his voice gentle, "Yes, Ah Sheng."
The weather, which was supposed to be a chilly autumn night, has unexpectedly taken on a touch of enchantment.
Gu Yao did not respond.
The rainy night was cold, and the cloak that Gu Yao had worn to keep warm when he went out had fallen onto the carriage, and now a chill was creeping up his back.
Gu Yao hesitated by the bedside.
Sitting on the bed, Xi Yue could imagine the young master pacing back and forth just by listening to the sounds.
It's basically like wanting to go to bed but being too embarrassed to.
Perhaps she'll even be twisting the hem of her clothes by the bedside.
It's getting cold now, and the young master carried me down the mountain on his back; he must be covered in sweat.
It would be bad if you caught a cold.
"It's late tonight, so I'll have to trouble Ah Sheng to share a room with me," Xi Yue said, offering a way out.
Gu Yao, who was already physically weak and prone to cold, was shivering from the cold. If it weren't for maintaining his innocent and naive young master persona, he would have already squeezed into a warm bed. Why would he have to suffer in the cold here?
Upon hearing Xi Yue speak, Gu Yao quickly took off his chilly outer robe and slipped into the warm quilt.
They've already given us a way out, so we have to take it immediately.
Martial artists have a body that generates heat, so even though Xi Yue is injured now, his physical condition is still much better than Gu Yao's, who has been sickly since childhood.
Gu Yao felt the warmth returning to his body, and he felt much more comfortable.
However, he, as a simple and naive young master, had promised to take care of Xi Yue, and he couldn't break his promise.
Just now, he was only concerned with keeping himself warm. Thinking of this, Gu Yao felt a little embarrassed and awkward.
It was so comfortable that I forgot for a moment.
He quickly tried to salvage the situation.
"Ajiu, I'll sleep on the outside. If you need anything tonight, just call me and I'll help you! I'll definitely take good care of you!"
The boy's voice had an upward inflection, and Xi Yue could imagine the young master's face full of heroic spirit just hearing it.
As he thought about it, Xi Yue unconsciously curled the corners of his lips.
She's really quite genuine and adorable.
Xi Yue responded softly.
"it is good."
"Then you must... call me."
Gu Yao's voice gradually faded, and he fell asleep.
Gu Yao was already in poor health, and although he had the support of the system's medicine, he still overdrawn his own energy.
Having brought a strong, adult male down the mountain, I was already exhausted, and I had to muster my strength to call a doctor. It was already quite an achievement that I had managed to hold on until now.
He could hear Gu Yao's light breathing, so close to him.
This caused Xi Yue to feel inexplicably irritated.
The chill of the autumn night couldn't bring any relief from the cold.
The way Gu Yao was sleeping on his side meant that every breath he took brushed against Xi Yue's ear.
It seemed to be there, yet not there, like a small hook, stirring up Xi Yue's restless heart.
The culprit, on the other hand, was sleeping soundly, and even smacked his lips in his sleep.
It felt like I was having a wonderful dream.
Xi Yue sighed helplessly. Sleeping so soundly, she really had no defenses.
What if I'm a villain?
Thinking of this, he felt a little guilty.
Today, he's using the young master again.
However, deep down, he also wanted to befriend such a pure-hearted person.
I'll apologize to the young master later.
With his mind a jumble of thoughts, Xi Yue finally relaxed his tense nerves in the middle of the night and fell into a deep sleep.
