Chapter 204: The Little Girl from Ten Years Ago
out anything else, okay" Cheng Luo's eyes showed a hint of smile, that smile carried a disdainful feeling towards Su Keqin, as if what she said was very ridiculous. 。He said, “Do you really think Gu...Ten years ago.
The autumn night carried a chill. At the foot of the desolate mountain, a slender figure staggered out of the warehouse, leaving a trail of countless bloodstains in its wake.
Although his body was at its limit, the young man still struggled to support himself, moving quickly. The wound on his leg not only bled but also grew colder and numb. He knew that if this bleeding continued, he would likely lose his leg.
But he still had to run, he had to find Ruor.
I've searched everywhere, called out as loud as I could until my voice was hoarse and I had no strength left to speak. But there is still no sign of Rao’er.
Finally, Gu Chi's strength failed him, and he collapsed in the grass.
His heart was filled with despair.
In the desolate wilderness, it was already late at night. No ordinary person would come to this place, let alone save him.
He hadn't had much to drink or eat all day. He had lost a lot of weight and was incredibly weak. An average adult could easily lift him with little effort.
He looked up at the black sky, his hand unable to reach anything.
He's probably going to be buried here.
Well, maybe Ruor is waiting for me. I could just accompany her there. It's just that I feel a bit sorry for Grandfather and the others.
Thinking and thinking, Gu Chi slowly closed his eyes, gave up struggling, and just waited quietly for death...
"Hey! What's wrong Wake up!"
In the midst of chaos, Gu Chi felt a pair of tiny, tender hands patting his face. The exhausted Gu Chi suddenly raised his hand and grabbed those hands.
He slowly opened his eyes. They were blurry because he hadn't had water in so long and had been closed for too long, but he could vaguely see a little girl with two ponytails, wearing a red princess dress, squatting anxiously beside him.
"Oh, you're awake!"
Seeing him open his eyes, the little girl clapped her hands with delight and smiled, her eyes crinkling at the corners.
After a short while of happiness, the little girl suddenly screamed.
Under the moonlight, several patches of blood not belonging to this princess's dress were clearly visible on her red gown.
Following the blood trail, the little girl immediately saw the wound on Gu Chi's thigh.
"My goodness! So much blood. What happened to you How did you get so much blood!"
The little girl looked around cautiously and whispered to Gu Chi's ear, "Are you being chased by bad guys"
A warm breath hit Gu Chi's ear, and he stared at the little girl in shock. He didn't expect her to believe him so much, not afraid that he might be the bad guy.
Looking into the little girl's eyes, he instinctively reacted and replied, "Yes."
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." The little girl patted her chest and assured Gu Chi, "You don't have to be afraid when you meet me. I'll take you away, and I won't let the bad guys hurt you again!"
Gu Chi's heart inexplicably felt a calmness settle over him. He stared blankly as the little girl's crimson figure bustled around him.
Although Gu Zhi had been without food or water for a long time and was already slightly dehydrated, his weight was clearly too much for a young girl of similar age to bear.
The little girl was a bit strained, staggering to bring Gu Chi onto her back.
A tremendous weight came crashing down, almost pinning the two people to the ground. The little girl gradually steadied her steps and walked forward.
This stretch of road was long, so long that Gu Chi almost thought it had no end.
He still felt he would die here, but every time, just as he was about to close his eyes, the girl beside him, burdened as she was, would chatter incessantly in his ear.
"Hey, don't go to sleep yet, I... I could tell you a story Or maybe sing you a song"
"There was a girl, she was a little willful, and she was a little arrogant…"
"You're being too loud." Gu Chi spoke weakly, his patience wearing thin.
The little girl seemed immune to Gu Chi's occasional scolding, happily teasing him and keeping him awake. She was afraid that if he slept, he might never wake up again.
Looking at the little girl chattering away, Gu Chi, although complaining on his lips, thought to himself that when he found his grandfather and the others, he must keep this little girl. If she left, then no matter how far apart they were, he would find her.
He wanted to repay her.
"What's your name" Gu Chi suddenly asked.
"Me" The little girl turned her head to glance at Xiao Guchi, just about to speak when suddenly, they both saw headlights in front of them.
The little girl was suddenly excited.
"A car! A car is great! Big brother, you're saved!"
Then, Gu Chi's memory became too weak and blurred.
But he knew that the car had brought him to the hospital. When he woke up, his grandfather thanked the driver. But when he asked about the little girl who carried him over, the driver only said that she hurried home after sending him to the hospital.
From then on, he could never find her again.
……
In the villa, Gu Chi sat on the balcony, his thoughts drifting back to what happened ten years ago.
Until Yang Zhao's text message interrupted his thoughts, saying that he had transferred 40 million yuan to Lin Xiaoru's account.
Thinking of Lin Xiaoru, Gu Chi suddenly lost interest in remembering any further.
For the past ten years, he has had nightmares every day and night, dreaming of being kidnapped ten years ago.
That kind of despair and fear, like it was taking root and growing in his heart, wouldn't go away.
Every time when he was at the darkest hour of his nightmares, he would hear that crisp sound——
"Wake up, hey, wake up."
Over the past decade, searching for that little girl has become his habit, even more so than finding the mastermind behind that year's events. He himself doesn't know, this obsession, is it just for gratitude, or something else entirely.
He only knew that in countless nightmares, the little girl was like his only hope, a light in the darkness, holding special significance for him.
But now, these meanings have all become ironic.
When Gu Chi learned that the little girl was Lin Xiaoru, he wasn't without disappointment.
He couldn't believe it. The girl he had been searching for, the one he had yearned for so long, was now a sight that filled him with disgust.
"Gu Chi"
At that moment, as he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard Su Kexin's voice behind him.
He turned his head and saw Su Kexin just come out of the shower.
Looking at her flushed cheeks, the anxiety I had just felt vanished instantly.
He gave a bold smile, putting aside his restless thoughts.
What's Lin Xiaoru like, and what does it have to do with him
Now, he no longer needs a phantom from ten years ago to plead with nightmares.
Because he had someone more important.
……
The next day, the weekend.
Gu Chi had a meeting and wasn't home. Su KeXin, thinking that it was her day off today, decided to go see Su YaFen.
When she arrived at her small apartment, laden with supplements and fruits, she was met with an unexpected sight.
When Su Kexin saw the other party, her face turned cold, especially when she saw Su Yafen beside her with an even worse complexion. Her tone couldn't help but carry a hint of anger.
"What are you doing here" directly to our door. Even my legs..."Qin Yuchen looked at her leg that was still in treatment, a bleak smile tugging at the corner of her lips."That's the same woman who hurt me when she asked me fo...
