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

The surroundings became quiet; we had already ventured deep into the reed marshes.

Looking around, all I could see were reeds taller than a person, obstructing my view.

Gu Yao pulled the person to a stop to rest and communicated with the system in his mind.

"Xiao Jiu, have the pursuers gathered? How far are they from us?"

0529 was somewhat panicked. "Host, they've already entered the reeds. Would you like me to give you another Strength Pill on credit?"

Hearing the system's somewhat pained tone, Gu Yao felt a warmth in his heart, and also found it a little funny.

Even though you're so poor yourself, you still think about me. You haven't made any progress at all. No wonder your performance is at the bottom.

Gu Yao shook his head, rejecting the system's suggestion.

"The Power Pill won't do much against these assassins. Get me a speed-boosting item instead; I need to escape."

Gu Yao thought for a moment, then asked.

"Xi Yue's men should be nearby, right? I don't want to risk my life to save someone only to have that person caught the next minute."

0529 took out the location map and tapped it a few times, his voice filled with obvious joy.

"Host, those nearby can definitely reach you in time to save you if we can stall them for a while. I can exchange two invisibility talismans for you."

Gu Yao shook his head and smiled.

"I'm going to sacrifice myself to save others. It's time for the innocent young master to leave the stage. What we can't have is always the best."

Listening to Gu Yao's heavy breathing so close to his side, Xi Yue knew that the young master must be exhausted.

Xi Yue hated his own powerlessness at this moment.

In the end, it was I who dragged him down.

The next second, Gu Yao released Xi Yue's hand.

Xi Yue was taken aback and couldn't help but curl his fingers.

The autumn wind brushed against my fingertips, bringing a chill.

The chill went from my fingertips to my heart.

My heart skipped a beat.

Xi Yue had considered the possibility of being abandoned, but people always have some vain hopes.

He thought that they must have developed some feelings for each other after spending so much time together.

Well then, they were not related, and he couldn't force the young master to die with him.

He rubbed his fingers together and then dejectedly withdrew his hand.

With a sigh, Xi Yue forced a smile.

He thought it would be better for him to ask the young master to hand him over himself than for the young master to abandon him and cause an ugly scene between them.

This was probably his last act of dignity.

The young master must come from a well-off family; those people wouldn't want to make enemies with a powerful clan.

If he surrenders himself, he should be able to get away unscathed.

Before Xi Yue could speak, Gu Yao pushed him into the reeds and straightened the bent reeds to roughly cover the gap.

The layers of reeds provide excellent cover.

If you walk by quickly and don't look closely, you'd never guess that someone is hiding there.

Gu Yao was very satisfied with his masterpiece and nodded.

Prepare to die a heroic death.

Xi Yue was stunned, unable to react for a moment to what Gu Yao was doing.

Born into the imperial family, yet not favored, and without the protection of her birth mother or maternal family.

He had witnessed all sorts of filth since he was a child.

I don't believe in any kind of selfless dedication.

But now, he is at a loss.

He seemed to know what Gu Yao was going to do.

He felt a little flustered and wanted to grab the young master for some peace of mind, but he was suddenly pressed down on the spot.

The force on his shoulder wasn't great, yet it held Xi Yue firmly in place.

A clear, youthful voice boomed in my ear, trembling slightly, revealing its owner's fear.

Despite the fear, there was an overwhelming sense of determination.

“Ajiu, you are my first true friend. Today, I know it was because of you that I am in this mess, but I also had my own reasons for being willful. But don’t worry, what they want is your life. My family has some connections, and if they don’t want to cause trouble, they won’t do anything to me.”

There was no time to say more to them; the pursuers were closing in.

Xi Yue's heart trembled, and his eyes stung with tears.

The bittersweet feeling in my heart was like being adrift in the sea.

He had a premonition that he would regret it for the rest of his life if he let the person go.

No, we can't let the young master go to his death!

This was the first time he had ever thought about keeping someone like this.

Even if they both die, it's better than him living alone.

In this way, we can be considered to have lived and died together.

She had already taken advantage of him, so how could she let the young master go out and die for her sake?

How could this be!

He, who was usually so rational, could no longer care about anything else at this moment.

In the face of life and death, the guilt mixed with emotion became the best nourishment, quickly catalyzing the budding liking into an unforgettable love.

Xi Yue held Gu Yao tightly and shook his head firmly to express his protest.

Hearing the system's shrill alarm, Gu Yao knew that time was running out.

If this stalemate continues, both of them will die.

Gu Yao decisively had the system exchange for the sleeping potion. With a wave of his hand, the white powder scattered in front of Xi Yue's eyes.

The figure and voice of the person in front of me became blurred.

He felt his consciousness gradually fading. He tried to grab Gu Yao, but his hand uncontrollably loosened its grip.

Gu Yao ruthlessly pushed him away, hiding him further inside. A tear rolled down her cheek and bloomed into a flower on the back of Xi Yue's hand.

It felt so light, yet it made Xi Yue's heart tremble with pain.

A voice filled with sorrow and resolve exploded in his ears.

"Ajiu, I'm sorry, but I want you to live."

Xi Yue lay limp in the reeds, unable to lift his hand to grab Gu Yao, or even open his mouth to ask him to stay.

They could only watch as the white figure disappeared into the tall reeds, leaving no trace.

His muscles seemed to have lost control, and not a single one obeyed his commands.

don't want……

Don't go!

Xi Yue felt a dull ache in his heart, but even more so, a sense of powerlessness, as if a piece of his heart had been ripped out.

The young master's words sounded nice, but both of them knew that these were desperate criminals who wouldn't give up until they achieved their goal.

If they catch you, you'll have a slim chance of survival.

The young master, however, chose to keep this "life" for himself.

The young master is delicate and frail. If he is caught and refuses to confess, he will face certain death.

This parting may very well be forever.

He wanted to follow the young master's retreating figure and leave together, but could only lie helplessly on the ground.

They could feel the sounds of air being torn apart all around them converging on the direction the young master was fleeing, gradually extinguishing his life force.

No one noticed him.

Xi Yue lay on his back in the reeds, feeling no sense of relief whatsoever.

The sun shone on him, but brought no warmth whatsoever. It only stung his eyes and filled his heart with sorrow.

His beloved was on the brink of death, while he could only eke out a living.

Xi Yue bit his tongue, trying to clear his head, but as the system's products were always of the highest quality, the drug took effect, and he could no longer muster any strength.

As the effects of the drug gradually intensified, no matter how worried or unwilling he was, Xi Yue could not stop his consciousness from sinking into darkness.

And in that distant place, there was no longer any news of the young man.
