"Are you going to keep hiding your identity from her?"
Gu Wenjin crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, questioning Wen Lingdao with a stern face.
Although Wen Ling's identity and origins have always been kept secret from the outside world, in order to allow him to carry out normal and legal activities in Haidu, Gu Wenjin still fabricated the identity of his adopted son for him.
Regarding Mr. Gu, Gu Wenjin only said that he had been sponsoring a child and did not disclose other information.
Wen Ling has never met other members of the Gu family, so naturally the others don't know of his existence.
But now, if Wen Ling comes into contact with Gu Qingjiu, with Xiaojiu's character, he will definitely get to the bottom of it.
By then, their plan might be——
"No," Wen Ling shook his head:
"She won't know."
When Gu Qingcheng appeared in front of her, it was time for him to leave...
"..." Gu Wenjin gave him a meaningful look, then answered the phone, hung up, and said to him:
"'She' is awake. I'm going back first. If you need anything, call me."
"Yeah." Wen Ling nodded, and then looked at Gu Qingjiu's concern for him popping up on the phone interface:
"Are you sick? What kind of illness is it? Are you completely cured?"
"Well, tell me where you are now? I'll go find you."
Wen Ling received the other party's concern for him and his smile was unusually gentle:
"It's completely healed, don't worry about me, and..."
He turned his head and glanced out the window, which was completely dark:
"It's very late today. If you come out, I will be very worried."
His slightly ambiguous words made Gu Qingjiu's ears start to feel hot, and she wondered why her pace had been disrupted by him unknowingly.
She was about to say that she would go see him tomorrow, but then she remembered the competition. After the competition, she would probably be busy with the clothing exhibition, and it would be difficult to spare time to visit Wen Ling. She started to have a headache, so she had to say:
"Then...take good care of yourself, and I'll go see you when I'm done."
After saying that, she began to regret secretly.
Although they are just a couple under contract, is it a bit too much for her to care about each other so much?
Fortunately, Wen Ling didn’t mind either:
"Ok, I will wait for you."
Putting down the phone and drying her hair, Gu Qingjiu lay on the bed and prepared to fall asleep. She closed her eyes, but her mind was filled with the scene of Wen Ling dancing with her at the previous class reunion.
Because it was in the dark night, she didn't even notice that her face was starting to turn red, and her hands holding the pillow tightened.
What's wrong with her? Ever since she returned to this world, Wen Ling has given her a feeling that is different from other people in this world.
He gave Gu Qingjiu a familiar feeling. The fragrance on his body, his gestures, and every move made people feel... familiar.
But Gu Qingjiu was convinced that she had never seen his face before.
In the darkness, she suddenly opened her eyes.
A bold guess exploded like fireworks in her mind.
What if Wen Ling...is not a person who belongs to this world?
So every time I see him, there are more things around him than the last time, but it seems like he has just learned to use them.
The first time it was a mobile phone and the second time it was a car. If it was a coincidence, then it would be too much of a coincidence.
Gu Qingjiu felt more and more in her heart that this world seemed to be increasingly different from the small world she originally knew.
And where did the story start to derail?
Gu Qingjiu kept thinking about her past, but was surprised to find that she could not remember at all where the current world began, and the point at which it became different from the story described in the original work?
This world seems to be the same as described in the original work, with the Gu family, Qin Su, Qin Shou and Dong Fangzhou, Gu Wangchu who was supposed to be Bai Yueguang, and Gu Qingjiu herself.
This world seems to be different from the original work, with the mysterious Gu brothers, Wen Ling of unknown origin, Gu Wangchu who traveled from another game, and himself who keeps traveling through various small worlds.
There seems to be an invisible network that brings these people together.
This feeling of being manipulated but unable to resist reminded Gu Qingjiu of the same feeling he had when he faced the mysterious organization with hands and eyes that reached the sky in the polar night.
...Perhaps, she should find the guy responsible for helping her jump between various small worlds.
I just don’t know if I can still find it now.
——
In the afternoon of the next day, the two brothers Gu Qingjiu and Gu Shi set out on their way to the black market again.
With the experience from the last time, Gu Xizhi easily returned to the parking lot yesterday and prepared masks for the three of them.
"Thanks."
Gu Qingjiu took the mask, said something to him, and then got out of the car.
The martial arts tournament has obviously not started yet, and the ring outside the martial arts hall is filled with bustling crowds of people watching.
Yesterday's defender was tall and tall, with his upper body exposed and strong muscles. His skin was brown and black, his eyes were bright, and he stood on the stage with high spirits.
Everyone cheered in the audience, but there was only one area where there was silence.
There were all today's contestants, the ones who were about to challenge yesterday's king of the ring.
They were holding towels, water cups, or various fitness equipment in their hands, but they were all looking at the defenders with eager eyes.
The cheers from the audience made them jealous, but they also knew that as long as they could win, the cheers from the audience would belong to them.
The first challenger came on the stage. After the referee sounded the gong, the two strong men grappled with each other, kicking, slashing, and kicking. It can be said that they did everything they could.
But the defender was worthy of being the king of the ring yesterday. Even though the challenger tried his best, the defender still won easily and knocked him to the ground.
"good!!!"
Everyone in the audience exclaimed, even though it was not yet dusk, the lights of various cheering sticks flickered in their hands, creating rainbows.
The next few people who came on stage also had powerful and powerful images. Gu Qingjiu and the other two people found a place to sit down not far from the ring, and occasionally made objective comments on the performance on the stage.
"A neat kick! The timing is just right."
"Are you using your elbow here? Tsk tsk..."
Gu Xizhi was not interested in martial arts, and he couldn't understand what his mother was commenting on. His eyes wandered outside the ring, but he suddenly spotted the figure from yesterday again!
He stood up quickly, and when the other two people were confused, he left a sentence before leaving:
"I'll leave for a while and come back soon."
Gu Mingxi looked in the direction he left and saw the familiar figure. He felt relieved and nodded.
With that guy's character, it's not surprising that he would appear here.
Only Gu Qingjiu is still in the dark:
"What's up with him?"
"It's okay, I just met an acquaintance." Gu Mingxi had a reassuring smile on his face.
Only then did Gu Qingjiu give up the urge to get up and chase after him.
