Chapter 62 The Critically Ill Patient Awakened by Hunger

Just as Su Huaiqi finished draping a coat over Shen Mujin, who was resting on the table, she turned her head and saw Gu Yan tilting his head and looking at her, even winking at her.

"Ayan, you're awake!"

Shen Mujin, who was half asleep, was suddenly awakened by Su Huaiqi's shout. She quickly sat up straight and, ignoring her fallen coat, rushed to the bedside with Su Huaiqi.

"Waaaah, you naughty thing, you finally decided to wake up."

Gu Yan didn't expect to see two people with tears streaming down their faces when he opened his eyes. Moreover, the two people had dark circles under their eyes and looked haggard, clearly indicating that they hadn't had a proper rest.

"I'm sorry to have worried you." Gu Yan knew that the two of them were probably worried that she hadn't rested. She wanted to reach out and pull them up, but the pain in her shoulder made her gasp.

"Don't move around! Do you know you're covered in injuries? If it weren't for Young Master Jiang bringing you out in time, you might never have seen us again," Shen Mujin said, poking Gu Yan's forehead with lingering fear.

Upon hearing Jiang Si's name, Gu Yan suddenly recalled the hallucinations she had experienced before falling into a coma.

Could it be... not an illusion?

Wouldn't Jiang Si have overheard all of her mutterings?

Oh my god, this is so embarrassing! How will she ever face anyone again?

Gu Yan pouted with some regret and whispered to Shen Mujin, "Mumu, I'm hungry."

“…” Shen Mujin never expected that the first thing a seriously injured patient said after waking up would be that he was hungry.

"Actually, I haven't eaten for several days," Gu Yan explained softly. Although she had just woken up and her body's functions had not fully recovered, her stomach was the first to protest.

Shen Mujin noticed Gu Yan's weakness and considerately tucked her in, saying softly, "Okay, I'll go find your aunt to cook you some porridge. You can get some more sleep, and we can talk about it slowly."

Gu Yan also felt his eyelids getting heavy, nodded, and fell asleep again.

Seeing that Gu Yan was awake, Su Huaiqi and Shen Mujin breathed a sigh of relief. The two first told Jiang Si and Yu Zechuan the good news. Shen Mujin then ran to the kitchen to tell the old lady about the porridge. After seeing Jiang Si take the initiative to go into the room to take care of Gu Yan, they returned to their respective rooms with a little peace of mind, washed up quickly, and then climbed into bed to catch up on sleep.

Perhaps because he had been sleeping for the past few days, Gu Yan woke up again after sleeping for less than two hours.

She turned her head and was surprised to find that the person accompanying her in the room had changed to Jiang Si.

Just what I feared most has come to pass. Should she close her eyes and continue pretending to be asleep?

"You're awake. Would you like some water?" Jiang Si asked softly, standing to the side with a glass of water in his hand.

Gu Yan nodded; she was indeed a little thirsty.

Jiang Si carefully helped Gu Yan up and let her lean against him. Then, he thoughtfully held up a cup and brought the water to Gu Yan's lips.

The warm water soothed Gu Yan's parched throat, making it feel better. Feeling Jiang Si's warm embrace, a sense of peace welled up within her. She appreciated Jiang Si's thoughtfulness and care, and looked at him with gratitude.

"Young Master Jiang, thank you for rescuing me."

Jiang Si gazed at Gu Yan with a rare tenderness in his eyes. He reached out and gently touched the top of Gu Yan's head, a slight smile playing on his lips.

I still prefer you to call me A-Si.

Gu Yan blushed at Jiang Si's words and stammered, "Um... I thought you were hallucinating... so... I just said it randomly, don't mind it."

"No, I care. I like hearing it. You can say it directly to her next time." Jiang Si chuckled softly, gently putting his arm around Gu Yan's shoulder. His warm breath warmed her heart.

Gu Yan was completely stunned. She felt Jiang Si's tenderness, and her heart was pounding wildly. It felt as if her heart would leap out of her throat the moment she opened her mouth to speak.

"Don't be nervous, rest well first, take it slow." Jiang Si's voice was deep and gentle as he gently helped Gu Yan lie down.

Gu Yan's face turned even redder. She dared not look into Jiang Si's eyes anymore and could only shrink herself into a ball, hiding completely under the covers.

"Come out quickly, be careful of your injuries." Jiang Si's voice carried a hint of amusement.

"No, I can't leave my blanket." Gu Yan's voice was muffled through the blanket, but he still didn't intend to come out.

"Alright, come out obediently. If your wound reopens, you'll be the one who suffers the pain."

Gu Yan also felt a bit suffocated under the covers, so he could only continue negotiating under the covers, saying, "I can go out, but you can't talk anymore."

"Okay. I promise you."

Hearing Jiang Si's assurance, Gu Yan quietly peeked out, taking small breaths of fresh air, not daring to look up at Jiang Si at all.

Where did Mumu and the others go?!

The atmosphere in the room was so ambiguous that Gu Yan began to wonder if the Jiang Si in front of him had been impersonated.

Although Jiang Si kept his promise and didn't speak, his gaze remained fixed on Gu Yan. Gu Yan felt somewhat helpless and could only close his eyes and pretend to sleep. Unexpectedly, he actually fell asleep without realizing it.

Jiang Si heard the even breathing coming from the bed and looked at the unguarded sleeping face in front of him. He seemed to suddenly understand how to answer Li Hengzhi's question from back then.

Gu Yan slept straight through into the evening, and when he woke up, he was starving.

"Just bear with it a little longer, Mumu is going to heat up some porridge for you, it'll be ready soon." Su Huaiqi quickly snatched the water cup from Gu Yan, who was drinking water like a cow.

As they were talking, Shen Mujin carried a tray into the house. If Gu Yan hadn't been injured and unable to move easily, she would have pounced on him like a hungry wolf.

Shen Mujin stirred the porridge in the bowl and handed it to Gu Yan, saying, "Drink slowly, be careful it's hot..."

After finishing a bowl of plain porridge, Gu Yan seemed to regain some energy. Holding up the empty bowl, he looked pitifully at Shen Mujin: "Mumu, I'm not full."

"Bear with it. You haven't eaten in a long time, so you shouldn't eat too much."

"Waaaaah, Qiqi! I'm hungry!"

"Don't look at me. You can only listen to Dr. Shen now. Just bear with it. Be careful not to offend Mu Mu, or you won't even get this bowl tomorrow."

Gu Yan's resentful look didn't disappear even after Yu Zechuan and Jiang Si appeared.

Yu Zechuan asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong with Miss Ayan?"

Su Huaiqi waved his hand dismissively, "I'm not full, I'm throwing a tantrum with Mumu."

Gu Yan watched Yu Zechuan and Jiang Si enter the room, knowing this was not the time for jokes. After everyone else was seated, she took the initiative to tell them everything that had happened to her, especially the cold-blooded man and Qin Miao'er she had encountered in prison.

Su Huaiqi slammed his fist on the table in anger, wishing he could kill the two adulterers on the spot.

"By the way, Ayan, I have some good news for you." Shen Mujin raised an eyebrow and turned to say.

"Good news? That's great, I've been needing good news."

"Brother Li has also been rescued by Young Hero Jiang."

"What! Really? That's wonderful!" Gu Yan looked at Jiang Si excitedly, his eyes full of admiration.

Jiang Si nodded in confirmation, "When I rescued you, I happened to overhear that you and Hengzhi were imprisoned together. So after bringing you back, I immediately returned to Kunlun Ruins and rescued Hengzhi. However, Hengzhi didn't come back with me; instead, he went directly to the inner sect to find Young Master Bai and the other elders."

"That's great! That's great! Now only Sect Leader Qin is still in the enemy's hands. As long as we can rescue Sect Leader Qin, then we will..." Gu Yan became more and more excited as she spoke. These things made her happier than if she had eaten her fill.

"Calm down, calm down, lest you get too excited and reopen the wound, turning joy into sorrow."

"Go away, can't you say something nice?" Gu Yan spat at Su Huaiqi.

Su Huaiqi raised an eyebrow. "Of course there's good news. Yesterday, we received news that Brother Bai and Brother Li have secretly rescued Sect Leader Qin from the inner sect. They're planning to wipe out all the bad guys in Kunlun Ruins in one fell swoop these next two days."

"Really? That's great! I want to participate too! I want to catch Qin Miao'er myself, then lock her up for seven days and seven nights and starve her to death." Gu Yan excitedly sat up, ignoring the pain in his body, and said, raising his right hand.

"You can't do it, you need to rest." Shen Mujin pressed down on Gu Yan's right hand without thinking.

"Don't worry, Ayan, I will definitely avenge you. It's just Qin Miao'er, I'll personally bring her back for you." Su Huaiqi also moved closer to Gu Yan to comfort him.

Jiang Si looked at Su Huaiqi and said, "Then Miss Shen may have to wait in line, because I had already promised Ayan that I would kill Qin Miao'er for her."

"Huh? When did Ayan tell you that?" Su Huaiqi looked at Gu Yan with some confusion. Gu Yan immediately thought of her mutterings in prison and could only force a smile awkwardly.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Young Master Jiang."

Fortunately, Jiang Si didn't emphasize the issue of how she addressed him in front of everyone, otherwise she would have been so embarrassed that she could have squeezed out a two-bedroom apartment.

"Alright, leave Qin Miao'er to Young Hero Jiang, and I'll take care of that bastard. I'll beat him to a pulp." Su Huaiqi didn't think too much about it and immediately changed his target.

“That might not work either. This time, you need to stay home to protect the other two girls.” Yu Zechuan, who had been quiet all along, interrupted Su Huaiqi’s passionate speech once again.

"Ah, why!" Su Huaiqi disagreed; how could she be absent at a time like this?

"Because you have to protect me~"

"I'm here too!"

Seeing the starry eyes of Shen Mujin and Gu Yan, Su Huaiqi knew that she was currently no match for them.

How infuriating! In the past, she wouldn't have been able to avoid playing even if she wanted to.

"Alright, then I'll stay and protect you two." Su Huaiqi was easy to talk to, but then she changed the subject and turned to look at Yu Zechuan.

"And what about you? What are you doing getting involved, you're a patient?"

"After resting for so many days, I'm all better now. Dr. Shen can attest to that." Yu Zechuan finished speaking and then pointed specifically at Shen Mujin.

Seeing Shen Mujin nod, Su Huaiqi was speechless. He could only sigh silently, "Go ahead, go ahead, I wish you all the best. Remember to tell us when you come back."

The next day, Jiang Si and Yu Zechuan left the courtyard and headed to the inner gate of Kunlun Ruins.

The plan was formulated quickly, and implemented even faster.

Two elders from Kunlun Ruins, along with some outer disciples, took advantage of the terrain to launch the first attack, capturing most of the Canghai Gang members who were guarding the perimeter.

Immediately following, Jiang Si, the Grand Elder of the Qingfeng Sword Sect, and Yu Zechuan, along with elite inner disciples of Kunlun Ruins, launched a surprise attack on the men in black within the various courtyards, while ensuring the safety of the outer perimeter.

The men in black were somewhat panicked when they saw the Kunlun Ruins disciples suddenly appear. Despite their superior martial arts skills, they were quickly defeated one by one by the multiple disciples who surrounded them. They had never expected Kunlun Ruins' plan to be so swift, catching them completely off guard.

The disciples of Kunlun Ruins worked in perfect coordination, eliminating the men in black one by one in each courtyard, leaving no survivors. Their movements were swift and precise, without the slightest hesitation, as if they had anticipated the men in black's actions.

The disciples of Kunlun Ruins did not become complacent after their victory. They quickly disposed of the black-clad man's body, leaving no trace. Everyone knew that the success of this operation was only the beginning; even more formidable enemies awaited them.

Finally, Sect Master Qin personally led Bai Heming and Li Hengzhi into the residence of the Fourth Elder and Qin Miao'er.

Unfortunately, they only managed to capture Qin Miao'er. The Fourth Elder's room was empty; he must have gotten wind of it from somewhere and escaped beforehand.

Also vanished were the sinister man Gu Yan had mentioned, and the group of men in black who had captured Gu Yan.

The chaotic drama has finally come to an end. Kunlun has returned to peace. But this incident also made Kunlun Ruins and Qingfeng Sword Sect realize that things are not over yet. Only by eliminating all the men in black and removing the sect leader they speak of can the crisis in the martial arts world be truly resolved.

Although Qin Miao'er was captured, she was, after all, the Qin Sect Master's biological daughter, so no one else could say much. Bai Heming was also very worried about Gu Yan's situation, so he could only leave Li Hengzhi in Kunlun Ruins and go down the mountain with Jiang Si and Yu Zechuan to return to the courtyard ahead of time.

Having been unconscious for several days, Gu Yan refused to lie in bed any longer.

The three of them even moved all the chairs to the magnolia tree in the yard, some reading, some daydreaming, and some practicing horse stance.

"Girl! The young heroes are back!"

The three of them only reacted when they heard the old woman shouting.

Su Huaiqi was the first to rush out of the courtyard gate and immediately saw Bai Heming leading the way.

He looks unfamiliar, but he's very handsome; this is Ayan's older brother.

Gu Yan, who was right behind him, saw Bai Heming and his eyes reddened, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Big brother, you're finally back."

Gu Yan gripped Bai Heming's hand tightly, his voice filled with excitement and grievance. The separation of these past few days had made them miss each other, and their reunion now stirred up a torrent of emotions within them.

Bai Heming looked at Gu Yan's slightly pale face with a touch of heartache. His eyes were filled with warmth and care. He gently patted Gu Yan's shoulder, his tone revealing his apology to her.

"I heard everything from Jiang Si. I'm so sorry, brother."

"Big brother, I'm fine. I just went hungry for a few days, which is good for losing weight," Gu Yan quickly reassured Bai Heming.

Actually, this matter had nothing to do with Bai Heming. It was mainly Qin Miao'er's jealousy that caused the problem; if she couldn't have something, she wanted to destroy what others had.

It has to be said that being obsessed with love can be quite terrifying sometimes.
