Knowing Gu Youyou couldn’t speak, and that she had slept for so long that she could no longer fall asleep, he sat beside her and spoke non-stop.
About Jisheng Hall, Qingshui Town, Lotus Village.
He even talked about how he himself had married a wife five months ago, planning to have children within a year.
He went as far as to tell Gu Youyou about that wealthy young lady who had been entangled with Yue Rujing and whom she had eventually married, how many children she had borne.
Gu Youyou really wanted to ask him if he wasn’t thirsty from talking so much, but whenever she tried to speak, her throat hurt so much that she simply endured it.
Two or three hours passed before the door to the operating room finally opened.
Enter Searcy, still yawning.
Upon seeing Gu Youyou awake, she was overjoyed.
"You’re finally awake. You’ve given me quite a hard time these past few days. I’ve been taking turns with this idiot to guard you, unable to get a good night’s sleep, always fearing this fool would mess up and you’d stop breathing without anyone noticing."
Qin Changlin’s face turned green with outrage. Ever since he was young, he had felt he was much smarter than his siblings. When had he become someone constantly called an idiot?
He pointed at Searcy’s nose and retorted angrily, "What does your PMS have to do with me?"
Gu Youyou was stunned by Qin Changlin’s words. Back in the day, because her body contained a cold poison, and having difficulty in Kuishui, she couldn’t explain to Qin Changlin what the issue was. So, she had told him she had PMS, that abdominal pain and insomnia were normal and would pass in a few days.
But now he remembered it vividly and had even used it against Searcy.
It was also Searcy’s first time hearing this term, and she was taken aback, not knowing how to retort.
Searcy told Gu Youyou that things were chaotic that day. When she and Gui Yunxi hurried back that night, they saw Tianzong and Xuanzong’s people clashing in fierce combat, with Jin Zijin protecting her. At that time, she was already unconscious, and her life was hanging by a thread.
Tian Jizi and Yu Jizi, the two white-haired elders, fought on a mountaintop and later both fell off a cliff.
It was only then that Tianzong and Xuanzong’s people stopped. Jin Zijin and Huo Li led their respective groups down the cliff to search for the elders, while she was taken to Jisheng Hall by a few others.
Seeing Gu Youyou wrapped in bandages, Searcy was visibly worried.
"I set your bones, and it was my first time doing such a thing, so I wasn’t very confident." She hurriedly corrected herself, "Hey, hey, it’s not that my medical skills are lacking. It’s just that your condition was so critical at the time, you could have lost your life at any moment, which added psychological pressure and made the surgery more difficult. So you need to get better quickly. If anything isn’t right, you’ll have to figure it out yourself."
After listening to Searcy, Gu Youyou felt completely unsettled.
But no matter what, she had survived and owed her thanks.
Gu Youyou spoke with difficulty, "Thank you!"
Her throat hurt unbearably, and her voice was so hoarse it was unrecognizable. Qin Changlin hurriedly said, "Sister Youyou, you should talk less. If you don’t take care of your throat, it could be permanently damaged."
Gu Youyou’s voice was very pleasant, a young girl’s clear and spirit-like voice, like a oriole emerging from the valley. It would be a terrible shame if it were truly ruined.
She had been awake for quite some time now, but Jin Zijin was nowhere to be seen.
Whether Tian Jizi and Yu Jizi survived their fall from the cliff remained unknown.
Gu Youyou wanted to ask Searcy, but Searcy was now sitting beside her dozing off.
It seemed Searcy really hadn’t had a proper sleep in a long time.
There was a knock at the door. Searcy woke from her doze and yawned as she went to open the door.
