The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend-Chapter 192: Chi Yu Is About to Collapse

"No need for you to like it." She reminded herself not to bother with him, yet couldn’t hold back and bantered with him.

She regretted it right after.

"Don’t talk to me."

"I’ll just talk, Yuanyuan can listen."

"Shut up."

"Oh."

He was still cheerfully unaffected, if not for the aisle in the middle, he would’ve leaned over to her.

When getting off the plane, Gu Yuan realized it wasn’t just her and Chi Yu on this trip, someone else had tagged along.

—— Tu Kuan.

At the sight of Gu Yuan, Tu Kuan immediately greeted her, "Hello, Miss Gu."

Gu Yuan looked at Chi Yu, her gaze silently questioning: Since you brought a friend, why didn’t you mention it?

Chi Yu glared at Tu Kuan, his mind racing, quickly explaining to Gu Yuan, "This friend of mine hasn’t seen much of the world, the farthest he’s been is Sui City, and he’s curious about everything and wants to see more. He heard I was coming to Hong Kong... Well, I’m just... maybe a little soft-hearted, so I let him tag along."

Tu Kuan: "..."

So he’s just a country bumpkin!

Buy me an economy class ticket, fine!

But say I haven’t seen the world!

Fine, since you are Quan Jin! You call the shots.

With a friendly smile on his face, Tu Kuan nodded at Gu Yuan, trying to make a good impression.

Gu Yuan nodded back, "Hello, Doctor Tu."

Tu Kuan’s smile froze at the corner of his mouth.

Miss Gu investigated him, he hadn’t even introduced himself, otherwise how would she know he’s a doctor!!!

At this moment, Chi Yu’s complexion was already turning pale, not because Gu Yuan knew Tu Kuan’s identity, but because his energy for the day had been depleted to the limit.

Gu Yuan naturally didn’t look at Chi Yu’s reaction, but directly faced Tu Kuan’s astonishment, "Doctor Tu is Chi Yu’s friend, it seems like you must be quite close, traveling together from Sui City to Hong Kong, inseparable. One might even think you’re..."

She hinted just enough to lighten the mood.

"No, no, no!" Tu Kuan didn’t need to guess to know what Gu Yuan hadn’t finished saying, immediately explaining, "Chi Yu and I have a very pure friendship."

Gu Yuan smiled, "I can see that."

Tu Kuan politely asked, "Miss Gu, do you mind if I..."

"Not at all. It’s just Chi Yu should’ve mentioned it, leaving you sitting back in economy class. If I’d known, I’d have upgraded your seat as well."

At these words—

Tu Kuan was speechless.

He looked at Chi Yu, clearly complaining: I could have been sitting in first class!!

Chi Yu gave him a look back, saying: Don’t you understand your place.

Tu Kuan: ...

The party is scheduled for tomorrow night at the Peninsula Hotel, and Gu Yuan’s hotel reservation is also at the Peninsula Hotel, which saved her the trouble of rushing over later.

Outside the airport.

The group walked out.

Chi Yu was fully covered, trying to appear normal, and Tu Kuan also wore a mask. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

The car arranged by Lu Tinglou to pick up Gu Yuan had long been waiting outside the airport, and as soon as Gu Yuan came out, Lu Tinglou’s secretary recognized her, approaching quickly: "Good evening, Miss Gu."

"Good evening, Secretary Zheng." Gu Yuan extended her hand.

Zheng Qin only extended his hand to shake Gu Yuan’s after she offered hers.

"And these two are?" Zheng Qin noticed two big men behind Gu Yuan. At first, he thought they were bodyguards, but now, up close, they clearly weren’t.

Gu Yuan introduced, "My assistants."

"Oh, so they’re Miss Gu’s assistants." Zheng Qin gestured invitingly: "Miss Gu, the car is this way, Mr. Lu specifically instructed me to personally escort you to the hotel."

"Thank him when I see him tomorrow." Gu Yuan followed Zheng Qin’s gesture towards the car.

Chi Yu instinctively followed Gu Yuan.

Zheng Qin was momentarily startled, do the assistants not know their place?

He cleared his throat, "And you two?"

Chi Yu, wearing a mask and sunglasses that covered his face, had the tall stature of an assistant, but lacked the awareness of one.

Tu Kuan said, "According to the rules, we should ride in the trailing car, the front car is specifically to pick up Miss Gu."

Chi Yu cooperated, getting in the trailing car with Tu Kuan.

As for why he cooperated, Tu Kuan knew all too well.

Because Chi Yu couldn’t hold on any longer!

In the car, Chi Yu looked unwell, radiating a cold aura.

Tu Kuan beside him dared not say much, lest whatever he said was wrong. While anxiously pondering, Chi Yu suddenly leaned towards him. Tu Kuan was slow to react and asked, "What are you trying to say?"

It took a while before he realized Chi Yu had already exhausted his energy for the day, utterly fatigued and lacking in physical stamina.

"I knew you were cooperating tonight because you couldn’t take it anymore and didn’t want to expose yourself in front of her." Tu Kuan let Chi Yu lean on him, and the driver in the front, noticing, pursed his lips, with a faint realization dawning on his face.

Tu Kuan couldn’t be bothered to explain.

He looked down, seeing Chi Yu’s eyes still open, and said, "Get some rest. Even when we arrive, it’s okay, I can carry you inside. I have enough strength for that."

How exhausted Chi Yu was, Tu Kuan couldn’t quite comprehend.

But as Chi Yu’s long-time attending physician, he understood all too well just how drained Chi Yu was at the moment, and how agonizing it must be. Yet, they hadn’t arrived at the hotel, and he had to push through until they did because he feared the one he cared about might come looking for him.

"Your body can’t take this kind of strain. Just going to Sui City was exhausting, yet you insisted on coming to Hong Kong as well. I’m telling you, if you keep wearing yourself down like this, you won’t last a month before you’re bedridden, becoming a shell of yourself, then what will you do?" Tu Kuan exaggerated the situation.

At least to make Chi Yu aware of the gravity.

Chi Yu’s voice was a bit hoarse, speaking heavily, "I know, but I can’t control it."

In front of Gu Yuan, he was never rational.

"I advise you to take it easy while in Hong Kong these two days, your body can’t handle the torment. Also, you wouldn’t want to suddenly faint in front of her, would you!?"

Tu Kuan nailed Chi Yu’s weakness with one sentence.

Chi Yu also feared losing consciousness suddenly in front of Gu Yuan, the speed of organ failure was beyond his control.

The car arrived at the Peninsula Hotel.

Gu Yuan had gotten out.

Led by Zheng Qin, she walked inside.

Tu Kuan got off right after, but seeing Chi Yu’s poor condition, he couldn’t let Gu Yuan see him like that, so Tu Kuan asked Chi Yu, "What do you plan to do now? If Miss Gu sees you in this state, nothing will be kept hidden anymore."

Chi Yu, feeling weak, reached out to Tu Kuan, "Help me."

Tu Kuan immediately supported Chi Yu, helping him out of the car. Once out, Tu Kuan placed Chi Yu’s arm over his shoulder: "You can lean your weight on me, it’s no problem for me."
