Things were discussed very harmoniously, and Gu Qingjiu wanted to join the game as an additional guest.
Originally, this competition was an arena system, which meant that someone could join in midway without violating the rules. However, usually no one did this and usually signed up in advance. Over time, everyone almost ignored this rule.
But now, the originally scheduled time for this conference is about to come to an end. Jiang Zhe told them that tomorrow will be the last arena competition, and then Gu Qingjiu can join the competition as an airborne player.
The matter was settled in this way, and Gu Qingjiu and everyone were about to leave, but when they were about to leave, Jiang Zhe finally stopped Gu Mingxi uneasily:
"Are you... Mingxi?"
Gu Mingxi turned around, as if he didn't expect that he would stop him: "...it's me."
Upon hearing his answer, Jiang Zhe immediately stopped being as polite as before, but asked again with excitement and disbelief:
"Is it really you?"
It wasn't until Gu Mingxi took off his mask and saw the mole under his lip that Jiang Zhe happily approached him, patted his back with a big hand, and said with a smile:
"I didn't expect that. I wasn't sure when I saw your actions just now. We haven't seen each other for five or six years. Okay, you kid, you have grown so big that you are taller than me!"
When Gu Xizhi saw Gu Mingxi being stopped by an acquaintance, he consciously wanted to wait for him at the door, but was pulled away by Gu Qingjiu:
"Okay, let's go, give them some personal space."
——
After everyone at the door had left, Jiang Zhe looked at Gu Mingxi, who was now nearly 1.9 meters tall, and couldn't help but sigh:
"I remember when I first met you, you were still a 15-year-old brat, working as a human punching bag in a martial arts gym... How many years have passed, and now you are a tall and tall young man.
"
"It's all in the past." Gu Mingxi lowered his eyes. When he was young, he had no choice but to do what he did to make a living. For him, it was not a glorious past.
"Yeah, well, what are you...doing now?"
"Now, I..."
——
On the other side, after Gu Xizhi and Gu Qingjiu came out, they headed to the parking lot.
Gu Qingjiu had already ordered Ji Shitong to take their car back to the parking lot of the black market.
After a while of exchanges with Ji Shitong, Gu Xizhi gradually figured out the topography of the black market.
When Ji Shitong saw that the person brought by the boss was asking him questions, he naturally told him everything he knew with a flattering look on his face.
Suddenly, among the bustling crowd, a familiar figure flashed past. Gu Xizhi was stunned for a moment. Then Gu Qingjiu saw him standing still and asked, "What's wrong?"
"——Nothing." Gu Xizhi looked away and shook his head.
Maybe I saw it wrong, why did that guy suddenly appear here?
However, considering that his whereabouts were erratic in the past, it is not impossible that he would come here.
...I hope he is overly worried.
Not long after the two got in the car, Gu Mingxi came back, and the three of them left the black market, agreeing to meet again tomorrow.
After Gu Qingjiu returned home, she went to wash her hair. When she came out with a towel to wipe her hair, her phone suddenly lit up.
She picked up her phone and saw that it was Wen Ling and he was online.
Gu Qingjiu typed out a few words:
"Finally you are willing to go online, are you a busy person?"
At the same time, on the other side, Wen Ling, who had just read all the text messages sent by Gu Qingjiu, suddenly discovered a new message.
Wen Ling: "Well, I'm back."
But Gu Qingjiu didn't know that these few words contained not only that he had returned to the Internet, but also that he had survived a narrow escape and had the opportunity to talk to Gu Qingjiu now.
Gu Qingjiu looked at his words in shock and did not react.
...What did he mean when he said he was back?
Gu Qingjiu: "What did you do during the time you disappeared?"
After typing this sentence, she felt a little regretful.
...Would it sound too intimate to say so?
However, when I think about it again, they are originally a contractual couple.
...It seems that it is right to ask this...
Her cheeks suddenly turned red in annoyance.
...What's wrong with her? She would be worried because the other party didn't reply, and she would care about what the other party did...This is not like her at all.
She has never been one to delve into other people's secrets that have nothing to do with her.
Maybe she didn't even realize that she subconsciously wanted to care about someone and his past.
She could only blame everything on the fact that Wen Ling was very mysterious.
She never seems to understand his past, his identity, and his preferences, but he can always stand up for her in times of crisis. This feeling is like...
When the person in her impression overlapped with the person in her memory, she shook her head violently and chuckled to herself - how could this be possible?
Wen Ling is Wen Ling, he is no one else.
Their ages don't match, their looks are different, and their personalities are completely different.
One is cold and calm, the other is lively and lively.
impossible.
Gu Qingjiu rejected her idea from the bottom of her heart, even though she knew that there were too many impossibilities and uncertainties in this world. Even she herself had served as a book-traveling executor to save other small worlds.
She just didn't want to admit it.
On the other end of the phone, Wen Ling was silent for a while before typing out a few words:
"I was sick for a while, but I'm fine now."
On the other end of the phone, Gu Wenjin glanced sideways at Wen Ling and lamented that "his" child was not living up to expectations——
What's wrong? He's clearly still seriously ill and has just woken up. Why are you trying to be so strong?!
At this moment, Wen Ling was lying in a VIP independent ward of a hospital. His body was covered with various infusion lines, and his lips were frighteningly pale.
Gu Wenjin had a relationship with the director of this hospital, so it was specially arranged for Wen Ling's examinations and operations to be performed by Gu Wenjin alone.
Originally this was not in compliance with hospital regulations, but even Wen Ling, a patient, agreed to it. The director had no choice but to tell them that if they needed any examination equipment, just tell him.
Gu Wenjin grew up in the Gu family. Mrs. Gu was a well-known celebrity in the medical field when she was alive, and he was naturally interested in learning medical knowledge. But unlike Gu Qingcheng, who specialized in medical skills, he later embarked on the path of business.
.
The reason why Gu Wenjin protected him so closely was because Wen Ling's own body data was different from ordinary people. If this data were known to others, Wen Ling would be arrested and taken as a research subject.
However, this time, Gu Wenjin was surprised to find that Wen Ling, who was originally completely different from normal people, had begun to become closer to normal after going through this "crisis" of energy extraction.
I just don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.
