Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 790: They Have Each Other and Are Not Alone
After dinner and sending the young girls away, Su Wan returned to find her son Xiaoyu searching around.
"Mom, have you seen Xiaoyan? I heard she met the legendary Queen Gaia and that Space Fragment, and I want to know some details, like what the creatures inside are like,"
Shaking her head, Su Wan said, "Ask her later, she’s gone to the hospital with Bai Li to visit Ji Mu."
"Why go to the hospital so late?"
Su Wan was speechless.
She felt that her son was beyond help. Wasn’t this a simple matter?
"I won’t tell you; you figure it out yourself. When you do, you’ll probably be able to find a wife!"
Watching his mother turn and leave, Gu Yu was a bit speechless. What did this have to do with finding a wife?
**
Although it was already very late, the medical center was staffed twenty-four hours a day, and some of the important inpatients even had specialized security personnel guarding them.
That was the case for Ji Mu, the Insectoid-transformation communicator.
When the guards saw Gu Yan coming, they said, "The director already told me you were coming, Miss Gu. You can go right in."
"How’s Ji Mu doing?"
"His data is improving in all aspects; he might wake up in the next few days."
Hearing this from the medical staff, Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
If she had been the cause of Ji Mu’s death, she would be restless for the rest of her life.
Gu Yan and Bai Li didn’t talk much on their way to the hospital, mainly because Gu Yan felt her cheeks burning with guilt when she remembered how her memories had been affected by Jiang Huai’s superpower, even considering breaking up with Bai Li...
As for Bai Li, he was not much of a talker to begin with.
After the medical staff left, only the ticking sound of the machines filled the room.
Gu Yan pursed her lips and broke the silence, "The medics just said that Ji Mu will wake up in the next two days, which is good."
"Mhm."
"Good thing he’s okay."
"Mhm."
"..."
Feeling a bit defeated, Gu Yan finally asked directly, "Are you mad at me?"
Bai Li paused for a few seconds, "Am I mad at you?"
"Yes, Jiang Huai used his superpower to tamper with my memory, making me believe that he was the one who had been by my side through all those events since childhood, not you. I even wavered in my feelings for you because I couldn’t clearly remember our times together... I..."
"I’m not mad."
"I don’t believe you!"
Ji Mu, who had just woken up in the hospital bed, initially felt the relief of having survived a disaster, but upon witnessing the childish exchange between Gu Yan and Bai Li, he sighed.
It seemed he really couldn’t die yet.
If he did, the wife of Lord Insect God would surely run away!
"Cough cough cough cough."
Ji Mu’s coughing finally broke the strange tension between Gu Yan and Bai Li, prompting both to look at him.
Excitedly, Gu Yan said, "Ji Mu, you’re finally awake! If you’re feeling discomfort anywhere, I’ll call the medical staff over!"
Ji Mu nodded, "Then please trouble you to call the doctor for me; my head really hurts."
"Sure, don’t move, just lie still!"
Gu Yan immediately ran out, while Bai Li frowned and glared at Ji Mu, "To find a doctor, couldn’t you have just pressed the button beside the bed?"
With a wry smile, Ji Mu said, "My lord Insect God, I sent Gu Yan away for your sake!"
"For me?"
"Yeah, the way you both were talking just now made it seem like you were about to disband! All this trouble was caused by Jiang Huai’s mistake, so don’t blame Gu Yan, okay?"
Bai Li pursed his lips, "I don’t blame her." He couldn’t bear to anyway.
Ji Mu glared, "If you don’t blame her, why are you using such a dry tone? She’s also a victim, and having experienced being kidnapped, she’s feeling down and anxious. You need to comfort her properly! Find a place with no people around later, and soothe her properly. Trust me, Lord Insect God, I have way more experience in this area than you do!"
Bai Li was slightly stunned.
It seemed that not long ago, Su Wan, Commander Su, had said something similar.
Just then, Gu Yan had summoned the medical staff to check on Ji Mu. The good news was that this man was blessed with a tough life; there was no more danger to his life now. After another week in the hospital, he would be able to bounce back to school.
However, because it was late, Ji Mu needed to rest, so Gu Yan and Bai Li also left.
Sitting in the aircraft, Gu Yan asked, "Are we going back to my place next?"
Logically speaking, Bai Li, Lord Insect God, should either stay in the school dormitory or go to the residence prepared for him in the Imperial Palace.
Staying at the Commander’s residence was somewhat inappropriate.
Especially since Gu Jue wasn’t home. Otherwise, Bai Li wouldn’t even be able to enter! 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Bai Li said, "Xiaoyan, why don’t we go to the Fruit and Vegetable Space."
The two of them had been there before, but with so much happening recently, Gu Yan hadn’t reacted at once.
Bai Li reached out to smooth a stray strand of her hair behind her ear, "What, don’t want to take me there? Are you worried I’ll eat you up?"
Gu Yan actually took a moment to seriously consider this, "You are from the Insect Clan, and I’m a Plantman, so it seems... you really could eat me."
Bai Li couldn’t help but laugh.
With a face that was already quite handsome, he smiled gently, and his eyes were full of fondness. Gu Yan looked up and was so taken aback that she just stared!
The next moment, her cheeks turned slightly red, and she quickly averted her gaze.
Bai Li, "Don’t want to go?"
"Let’s go, let’s go."
For Gu Yan, getting to the Fruit and Vegetable Space was an easy task.
She looked at the Fruit and Vegetable Space and remembered the Space Fragment where Queen Gaia and her husband were.
"Brother Little Mushroom, do you think they are lonely?"
"Lonely, but not lonely."
"Do you mean that they have each other?"
"Hmm."
Sitting on the rooftop of the former City Lord’s residence, a gentle breeze was blowing.
Suddenly, Bai Li said, "How about after we pass away in the future, we do the same and live forever in this Fruit and Vegetable Space, okay?"
Gu Yan was taken aback and almost lost her balance, nearly sliding off the roof!
But Bai Li was quick with his hands and caught her just in time.
Secured in his arms, he didn’t let go again.
"Brother Little Mushroom..."
"Hmm?"
"You’re squeezing my waist..."
After hearing this, Bai Li’s eyes darkened, and he held her even tighter, "Hmm, so what’s Xiaoyan’s answer? Do you want to live here with me, life after life?"
"But that wouldn’t be fair to you! You’re supposed to have a long life, experience different things, have different identities, and meet many different people! Once you choose to be stuck with me in the Space Fragment forever, you’ll lose your divinity and your freedom forever!"
As Gu Yan spoke, her eyes reddened, and she gently touched Bai Li’s face.
"Actually, being with you in this life until I die of old age, I’m already very content. When the time comes, after I die, you should reincarnate, forget about me, and then start a new life."
