What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

Thinking about this, he became even more certain of his guess.

If Gu Yuqiu wasn't backed by that white cat, how could she know so much?

Could it be a peak fifth-tier expert who hasn't appeared yet?

Lu Xiu thought about it very carefully and was sure that it was not possible. Then he thought about the sudden appearance of the crimson figure and his confidence became less and less.

He stood there for a long time until his personal secretary could no longer contain herself and whispered a reminder that he still had work to do, which brought him back to his senses.

"I need to ask the director about something."

"Chief?"

The secretary was slightly taken aback, thinking to herself, "Aren't you the bureau chief?"

The next moment, she suddenly opened her mouth wide and exclaimed in surprise, "Is it the old director?"

Lu Xiu nodded and said, "It's very important. Use special channels and do it as quickly as possible."

……

……

She naturally couldn't hear this conversation that took place after Gu and Qiu left.

The reason is similar to why Shen Muchan couldn't hear the sounds of her taking a shower: in a place like the Special Affairs Bureau building, it is extremely dangerous to be able to perceive things without restraint.

She didn't care about the dangers; what bothered her was the trouble that would follow.

However, the fact that she didn't hear those words doesn't mean she was unaware of Lu Xiu's decision.

After all, this was the result of her deliberately standing on the edge of the rooftop, exuding a sense of profundity and feigning a touch of sentimentality, which made Lu Xiu unable to resist engaging in a conversation with her.

Just like she had said to Shen Muchan that day, Lu Xiu, despite his only average talent, was quite quick-witted and had a fairly accurate intuition, making him a very easy person for her to guide.

It's true that she came to the Special Affairs Bureau today to visit Lin Mushi, but that's also her purpose.

Fortunately, Lu Xiu did meet her expectations and resolved the matter without her having to expend too much effort.

Thinking this, Gu Yuqiu stopped and stood in front of the ward door.

The person in the hospital bed was in good condition, but had not yet woken up—here, "wake up" does not mean that Lin Mushi had fallen into a coma, but that she was sleeping normally.

Upon hearing the news, the doctor came to Gu Yuqiu's side and said angrily, "How could Lu Xiu allow someone to visit him while he's sick!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuqiu turned her head and glanced at him casually.

However, with just that one glance, the doctor, who was extremely agitated, immediately calmed down and subconsciously said, "I'm sorry, I was just concerned about the patient."

As soon as he said it, he was stunned, wondering why he had to explain himself to him.

The doctor remained silent, began to carefully examine the visitor, and then froze again.

This has a lot to do with Gu Yuqiu's good looks, but the deeper reason is that he can't understand why such a girl with such beautiful eyebrows and gentle expression has such an extremely indifferent feeling.

His profession is a doctor, and he has witnessed too much death. He can vaguely sense that indifference is an attitude towards life.

It was as if the girl already knew that the birth of life was just a coincidence, and that all things would eventually return to eternal silence, so she didn't care and was indifferent.

The problem is that such indifference shouldn't exist in the eyes of such a young girl.

Just as the doctor was about to ask a question, unable to contain his curiosity, he heard a sentence.

"She's just staying in bed."

Gu Yuqiu thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because I got up too early earlier?"

When she said this, her tone was light and cheerful, like a gentle spring breeze that lingered and was very touching.

The doctor, however, could not agree and said seriously, "Although Lin Mushi's vital signs are stable now, the injuries she sustained in yesterday's battle are real. The situation is unlikely to be as simple as it seems. There may be problems that we have not yet discovered, and we must take it seriously."

He paused, then continued, "I don't know why Lu Xiu sent you here, but I must tell you, you can only watch from here at most..."

His voice trailed off as he saw Gu Yuqiu turn the handle, push open the ward door, and walk to the pristine white hospital bed.

The doctor was stunned for several seconds before finally coming to his senses and quickly followed them inside.

However, he was ultimately too late.

Gu Yuqiu has already made her move.

Her fingertips landed precisely on Lin Mushi's lips, while her other hand quietly clenched, as if she had grasped something.

Just as the doctor was about to break free of his lingering fear and could no longer control his emotions, a barely audible voice entered his ears.

That wasn't Gu Yuqiu's whisper.

It was Lin Mushi's voice.

Nearly twenty-four hours later, she opened her eyes again. Her senses were still a little hazy, but the strange feeling on her dry lips was still so clear, and so she let out a sigh.

That sigh stopped the doctor.

She didn't notice any of this; she only felt that the strange sensation hadn't subsided. She struggled to open her eyes and saw a pristine white ceiling...

There's also Gu Yuqiu.

She blinked and tilted her head, but the scene didn't change much. She reached out and rubbed her eyes again to try and stop dreaming.

How could that person possibly care whether she lives or dies?

How could I possibly hear her voice?

Just then, her outstretched hand was gently grasped, and it felt very warm.

At the same time, a familiar voice rang out, its tone still so light and cheerful, like a spring breeze.

"Wow, you're so cute!"

Gu Yuqiu asked curiously.

After Lin Mushi finally confirmed that she had not misread or misheard, her eyes suddenly brightened.

But the next second, she bit her lower lip, forcibly controlling her emotions, and didn't make a sound. Her eyes were filled with pride.

That's the pride of maintaining dignity.

Although there was more joy than anything else.

However, all of this is fleeting.

Gu Yuqiu raised her hand, tucked her hair behind her ear, and then leaned down slightly to look into her eyes, and at herself in those eyes, at the closest possible distance.

The ward remained quiet, and the three belated words became exceptionally clear.

"sorry."

Gu Yuqiu said earnestly, "It was my fault before."

P.S.: This volume should be finished this month... so I must update two chapters starting tomorrow.

Chapter 114: Chapter 112 Who Made Me So Good-Looking?

Upon hearing this, Lin Mushi closed her eyes and remained silent for a long time.

The ward was still so quiet, with only the faint sound of the cold instruments working normally, making it a very suitable environment for contemplation.

What was she thinking back then?

It seems like these are the words we're talking about right now?

But why... even though she clearly heard that voice that felt so long-lost, did she feel no excitement at all?

Lin Mushi couldn't figure it out. She could only be sure that she was somewhat happy, but she really wasn't excited anymore, and she had another question.

She opened her eyes, looked quietly at Gu Yuqiu, and said, "Why are you standing so close?"

"This might be the first time he's apologized..."

Gu Yuqiu thought for a moment and said seriously, "I was afraid you didn't hear clearly enough and I would have to say it again. I couldn't accept that possibility, but I didn't want to be too loud and disturb you, so I had no choice but to come closer."

Lin Mushi was slightly taken aback, not expecting to hear these words, and finally could not calm down.

She bit her lower lip, her gaze shifting from Gu Yuqiu's eyes to the bewildered man beside her, staring at the machine's data. She asked softly, "Can I sit up, doctor?"

The doctor paused for a moment after hearing this before coming to his senses and saying, "No problem."

After saying that, he gave Gu Yuqiu a deep look, but did not ask any questions. Instead, he turned and left the ward to relay the news to Lu Xiu.

Gu Yuqiu didn't care about this. He helped Lin Mushi sit down and placed a soft pillow under her waist. He didn't say a word throughout the whole process.

Lin Mushi looked at her, wondering if she didn't want to talk or didn't know what to say.

Gu Yuqiu said, "I don't know if there's anything I can tell you."

"what?"

Lin Mushi exclaimed in surprise, then remembered that her friend had an almost mind-reading ability and could completely guess what she was thinking, which made her feel fortunate.

The next moment, her expression changed slightly, and her small hands under the white blanket clenched into fists.

Gu Yuqiu must have known about her previous feigned calmness and indifference, and her forced pride in maintaining her dignity... so there's no reason why she should be the only one feeling joy.

Gu Yuqiu thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, I know all of that."

Lin Mushi looked into her eyes and asked in a slightly trembling voice, "So what do you think?"

Gu Yuqiu said, "I'm quite happy."

Lin Mushi suddenly felt her face flush and subconsciously wanted to turn her head to look out the window, giving up on continuing the conversation.

But in the end, she mustered her courage, without looking away, and said softly, "I'm happy too."

Gu Yuqiu was somewhat surprised, thinking to herself, "You're not shy anymore?" and asked, "Why are you so happy?"

Lin Mushi thought to herself, "Aren't you deliberately making things difficult for me?"

She reached out from under the covers, covered her mouth and coughed deliberately, then lowered her eyes and said softly, "You're not so stubborn anymore."

Gu Yuqiu raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "Why do I get the feeling that you're a little proud of yourself?"

"So what if I'm proud?" Lin Mushi couldn't help but raise her head and glare at her.

I have no idea where a patient gets so many little temper tantrums.

Gu Yuqiu didn't mind at all, and said with a smile, "It's nothing, and it is indeed something to be proud of."
