Chapter 123: Ziyu Went Back

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Lu Shijie’s clothes were soaked with sweat, he was truly terrified.

He had been deceived by Gu Ci once before, and the pain was unbearable. He held a grudge and wanted revenge, but he had provoked a devil. Gu Ci’s smile became his nightmare. Despite being bloodthirsty and cruel, she smiled so gently.

“Do you understand clearly?”

Lu Shijie gnashed his teeth in hatred but forced by fear, he replied, “I promise, I’ll stay far away from you.”

“Good boy!” Gu Ci put down the surgical knife and applied gauze to him. “If only you had been obedient earlier, you wouldn’t have suffered like this.” Lu Shijie’s face turned pale.

Gu Ci walked to the door, as if she had remembered something, she looked back at him coldly. “Stay away from me, and stay away from Lu Zhiyuan. Lu Shijie, this is my final warning to you!”

Gu Ci left the ward but unexpectedly saw Lu Zhiyuan. He looked at her with a dim gaze.

They stood in the white corridor, silently staring at each other.

“Why are you here?” Gu Ci’s heart raced. Did he see everything that just happened?

Lu Zhiyuan stood with his hands behind his back. “What are you doing?”

Gu Ci smiled, her eyes reflecting the bright lights of the corridor. “Lu Shijie’s wound reopened, so I helped stitch it up. A doctor should have compassion and not bear to see patients suffer.”

Lu Zhiyuan approached her, seeming helpless yet warning at the same time. “You will become a doctor in the future, you should have some discretion in your actions.”

Gu Ci looked at him with a sly smile. “So, the gunshot was fired by you, and now you feel sorry? Oh, you know, if you didn’t shoot that gun and it fell into my hands, Lu Shijie wouldn’t have simply laid there for three months. Third Master, are you helping Lu Shijie?”

He reached out and grabbed her, raising his hand. The hospital lights went out, and the camera was turned off. In the next second, Lu Zhiyuan and Gu Ci appeared on the rooftop, and the hospital lights came back on.

On the rooftop, a strong wind blew, rustling his coat.

Lu Zhiyuan’s voice was carried away by the wind. “You openly took action in the hospital. Have you considered the consequences? If someone captures it on camera and exposes it, you’ll never become a doctor in your lifetime!”

“That’s my business, you don’t need to worry about it.” Gu Ci looked at him with a heavy gaze. “Third Master, what right do you have to control me?” Lu Zhiyuan silently stared at her.

Gu Ci wanted a promise, or rather, an answer, but she never obtained it.

“Third Master once told me that we should maintain a distance.” Gu Ci looked at him, a playful smile on her face. “I have always remembered Third Master’s warning. The person 1 love is Lu Zhiyuan, not you. So, Third Master, you should also restrain yourself.”

Lu Zhiyuan remained even more silent. He stood in the night, exuding an air of indifference.

She tilted her head in the wind, appearing mad and smiling. “Third Master, you’re so concerned. Could it be… you’ve fallen in love with me?”

“Delusional!” Lu Zhiyuan’s brow furrowed. “I will never love you.”

Knowing the answer yet still feeling heartbroken, Gu Ci felt like she was torturing herself. She daydreamed repeatedly, hoping that one day her dreams would come true.

The incident in the hospital involving Gu Ci remained a secret. Lu Shijie dared not speak out, and he couldn’t find any evidence. The next day when Lu Shijie changed his dressing, the doctor uncovered the gauze and was horrified at the sight of the stitches.

“Young Master Lu, what… happened to your wound?”

Lu Shijie took a closer look, his face turning pale. No wonder it was so painful when he was being stitched up. Gu Ci had sewn a character for “death” on his wound. Even if the stitches were removed, the scar would remain.

As a warning!

Lu Shijie’s face darkened to the extreme.

“Gu Ci! You’re ruthless!”

Jiang Junlin recovered from his injuries, and the military training at University A also ended. Jiang Junlin was discharged from the hospital, and as long as he avoided intense exercise, no one could tell he had been shot. Gu Ziyu didn’t give up on the investigation, and Jiang Minghua expanded Jiang Junlin’s security team.

When Gu Ci returned to school after her leave of absence, her class schedule was already available. In her freshman year, besides general education courses, there were also foundational professional courses. The first semester was relatively relaxed, with few foundational courses. She chose chemistry and physics as her electives.

Liu Yu and He Miaomiao knew she didn’t live on campus, and they felt a bit regretful. Gu Ci kept her distance from her classmates and maintained a normal alumni relationship.

One week after the start of the semester, Lu Zhiyuan was going to R Country to prepare for the regional tournament in September. Gu Ci couldn’t take time off, so she couldn’t accompany Lu Zhiyuan to the competition. Lu Zhiyuan understood that she had a heavy academic workload and didn’t say anything, just asking her to watch the live stream.

He had three matches, and the main competition was held on the weekend. Gu Ci considered it and decided to book a plane ticket to fly to R Country. It would only take three hours round trip to watch the matches.

Gu Ziyu shook his head and sarcastically said, “Mom, don’t you have enough assignments?”

Flying out of the country on the weekend to watch Dad’s competition, isn’t watching the live stream good enough? The TV will broadcast the race in real-time too. He had a pile of papers to write and assignments to complete. Recently, he couldn’t find the time to deal with his archenemy, the Black Hawk Group.

Reading makes a person cultivate their character.

“Do you want to accompany Mom to go abroad and watch the competition?”

“I have to submit my paper on Monday.” Gu Ziyu frowned. “It’s a 30,000-word doctoral thesis in pure English.”

Gu Ci mourned in silence and could only give him some encouragement. Chen Liangdong was ruthless, making arrangements for Gu Ziyu so openly. Lately, Gu Ziyu hadn’t been using his computer much.

Gu Ci had already booked the plane tickets, and she and Zhou Jinjin had packed their luggage. But suddenly, Gu Ziyu fainted in the bathroom, disrupting Gu Ci’s plans. They rushed to take Gu Ziyu to the hospital.

“Ziyu…” Gu Ci anxiously sat there, her heart in suspense. Recently, she had a strange connection with hospitals. Her loved ones were going to the hospital every few days. Gu Ziyu regained consciousness during the examination.

The medical report showed no problems, and all the indicators were normal.

“He has been irregular with his daily routine lately, staying up until 4 a.m. to write his thesis and waking up at 6 a.m. It’s probably due to excessive fatigue. When children are in a stage of growth, Doctor Gu, don’t worry too much.” Dr. Zhang wrote the report, and Gu Ci stared at Gu Ziyu’s report, not missing a single detail. The boy had been well in the past two months, fair and tender, with a healthy body.

But he was special after all, coming from the future. Gu Ci always feared that one day Gu Ziyu would leave her and return to the cold future, facing the storms alone.

Gu Ziyu also comforted Gu Ci, telling her not to worry. He smiled gently and maturely, saying, “Mom, I’m fine. You should go to the airport and catch your flight.”

“I’m not going.” Gu Ci had no mood to watch the competition anymore. Zhou Jinjin, seeing that Gu Ziyu was fine, also wanted to visit R Country this time for family reasons, so she decided to go alone.

Gu Ci was cautious and scheduled a second medical examination for Gu Ziyu. The data was also excellent, showing no signs of any problems. But Gu Ci still worried. Gu Ziyu said, “Mom, 1 won’t stay up late anymore. 1 promise.”

“You must sleep for a full eight hours every day.” Gu Ci issued a strict order. “You must go to bed by ten o’clock and no staying up late.”

“I promise!”

Gu Ziyu appeared relaxed on the surface, but when he was alone, he stared at himself in the mirror with a gloomy expression. These past few days, he always felt tired and exhausted. When he fainted, he even dreamt of his mother’s suicide when he was six years old in his previous life.

It wasn’t a dream!
