Xianyu And Protagonist A Are Together Chapter 61
byChapter 61 The pain makes it hard to sleep. She just begged that Gu Man wouldn’t be involved…
“Haha, who am I? You actually asked me who I am?” Uncle Gu raised his head and laughed, his eyeballs as red as blood protruding from the sockets, as if he had some serious illness.
At least that’s what Wen Mian thought. For a moment, she couldn’t even control her expression and almost failed.
Suppressing her inner emotions, Wen Mian asked in panic, “What do you mean?”
“I’m Gu Man’s uncle. Speaking of which, you should call me uncle!” The man’s expression suddenly became normal, and the tip of the knife slid against Wen Mian’s neck.
Everything seemed to be a repeat of the first life in the dream. Behind her was the unknown depth of the sea, the cold wind was biting, and she was tied to a chair.
Gu Man suddenly realized, her head suddenly felt severe pain, but she endured it, frowned, the soft meat in her throat rolled, and said in a cold voice: “What on earth are you going to do?”
“What did I do? You still dare to ask me?” The man stared straight at Gu Man, his eyes full of resentment, which almost made Gu Man’s gums bleed.
His eyes were red, his chest was heaving violently, and he took a step forward suddenly, the anger in his chest almost bursting out, “If it weren’t for you! If you hadn’t forced me to be like this, how could I be like this!”
“If it weren’t for you! It’s all your fault! Why didn’t you die then? You should have died with your useless and kind mother!”
It seemed that he was too angry, the veins on his forehead kept pulsing, and his speech became garbled.
Gu Man remained calm in her heart, but her face suddenly became angry. Her eyes were red, and there were dark emotions surging in her eyes: “So, my mother’s death was indeed your fault.”
“Didn’t you already know that? You forced me to look like this. If you want to feel better, I tell you – it’s impossible!” Uncle Gu gritted his teeth hard, and the fingertips holding the dagger turned white.
“That was my mother’s company.” Seeing the man in front of him being so stubborn, Gu Man’s expression became even colder.
“That’s mine! It’s mine! I’m obviously the boss of the family, why should those two old immortals leave most of the property to them? It’s because they are partial!” the man roared.
“You know why you left it to my mother.” Gu Man replied coldly. His gaze seemed to be focused on the person in front of him, but in fact he kept glancing at Wen Mian, who was tied to the chair.
“You’re farting! It’s obvious that they are partial and look down on me as a beta, it’s them!” The man became angry and took the dagger away from Wen Mian’s neck. He took a step forward and pointed it straight at Gu Man, “Anyway – all of you deserve to die!”
Taking this opportunity, Wen Mian winked at Gu Man, almost stood up quickly and rolled his chair to the side.
Gu Man quickly stepped forward and kicked the man in tacit agreement.
Gu Man’s martial arts is not weak. She has long expected that this day will come, so she practices her martial arts skills while studying and filming.
But at this moment, the man was holding a knife and waving it around randomly. Gu Man didn’t dare to get close for a while, so he could only mediate with her.
Not far away, Wen Mian quickly untied the rope around him and threw it aside.
She carefully walked around to the other side, then hid at the entrance of the stairs and watched with bated breath.
So many years of pampering have turned Uncle Gu into a drunkard. He started panting violently after just a few swings of the dagger, and the strong smell of alcohol burst out from his mouth, making people feel a stench.
Gu Man cautiously retreated to Wen Mian, his eyes hardened to the ice, staring at his movements, and his tone was flat but heartbreaking: “You have failed.”
Uncle Gu suddenly raised his head and laughed for a while. He stared at Gu Man with his dark eyes and said in a rough voice: “Do you think I will really fight against you alone?”
Gu Man tightened his fingers and dug his nails into the flesh again, blood dripping from the newly closed wound.
Wen Mian slowly took her hand and held her palm, but his eyes were always looking at Uncle Gu, calmly, as if he was looking at a dead person.
Angered by the two men’s stupid looks, Uncle Gu’s heavy breathing became more serious, and he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words: “Come out!”
There was a vibration from the stairs behind her. Wen Mian’s hand tightened and she tapped the earrings on her earlobes without leaving any trace.
The earrings lit up, and Pei Ting heard a gentle reply: “We’ve arrived, don’t worry.”
Sure enough, the vibrations on the stairs stopped the next second, followed by the sound of confrontation.
Wen Mian smiled, and the smile was full of mockery: “Look, you are not the only one here.”
Uncle Gu’s face became even more ferocious, and fire almost came out of his nose, “When did you notify me?”
Wen Mian raised his eyebrows, and lightly touched the silver earrings with his fingertips. The meaning was obvious: “Probably, maybe that’s when you caught me?”
As she spoke, she did not forget to light the back of Gu Man’s hand to comfort her.
“You knew this already?!” Apart from this, Uncle Gu couldn’t think of any other reason.
Wen Mian shook his head, the smile on his lips deepened, and he answered his question lightly: “Absolutely, after all – I haven’t settled the accounts with you three years ago.”
Uncle Gu’s pupils shrank and he looked at Wen Mian in surprise, but her face was calm and she couldn’t tell anything.
“What three years ago, I don’t know!” His voice suddenly became sharp, and a trace of fear quickly flashed in his eyes.
Wen Mian raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly: “It doesn’t matter if you don’t admit it. I already have the evidence anyway.”
“You! Impossible, that person has been killed by me, how can you have evidence?!” Uncle Gu muttered to himself, with uncontrollable panic.
“That’s not right!” Suddenly, he realized what he was doing. He looked straight at Wen Mian with his cloudy eyes, and said angrily, “You specifically said that!”
Wen Mian nodded simply and said, “Yes, it seems you are not too stupid. You bought a murder and killed someone. Just wait and accept the punishment of the law.”
“You!” Knowing that everything about him was exposed, Uncle Gu’s eyes were red with anger, and he roared with a ferocious face, holding the dagger and rushing towards the two of them like crazy.
“I just said you were not too stupid, but now it seems that you are still very stupid.” Wen Mian sneered and turned around to reveal the bodyguard behind him.
The bodyguard quickly stepped forward, kicked the dagger out of Uncle Gu’s hand, and restrained him.
The man was pinned to the ground, but he still refused to give up and struggled fiercely.
“Quiet!” the bodyguard roared angrily, and the strength in his hands increased.
Seeing that he couldn’t break free, Uncle Gu raised his head, his eyeballs were filled with thick bloodshot eyes. He kept cursing, as if he wanted to vent all his resentment.
“Damn it! You’re not going to end well!”
“I should have killed you all, and your mother, who made them so stupid, they deserve to die!”
“You too, just wait, you damn bitch! You bastard!”
His voice was harsh and unpleasant. Wen Mian frowned and waved his hand. The bodyguard behind him understood immediately, took off his gloves and stuffed them into the man’s mouth to block his words.
.
When everything is settled, it seems simple, but in fact, one step away from it can lead to a disaster.
When planning for this incident began, Wen Mian had not even recovered all of his memories and could only make speculations based on fragments of dreams.
In order to prevent problems, Wen Mian installed positioning chips on almost all of his clothes. He also spent all the money he earned from investing in stocks to buy bodyguards. He always hid a dagger before going out.
The first thing she did when she regained her memory was to discuss the details of the car accident with Pei Ting, and she found a loophole.
Although Uncle Gu has become more peaceful in the past three years, which was probably the reason why Gu Man became so popular after entering the entertainment industry, in order to prevent him from hurting Wen Mian by jumping over the wall again, Pei Ting still found a lot of people on standby.
This incident was planned by Wen Mian. Instead of hiding, it was better to take the initiative.
She specially left a gap for Uncle Gu to take advantage of. When she got up early in the morning, she and Gu Man arranged not to pick her up at night, but told Xu Qing to wait for her in the empty underground garage.
Sure enough, Uncle Gu, who had been cornered, took action, so when he heard a noise behind him, Wen Mian immediately turned on the live broadcast to make things worse, and pressed the distress signal on the button.
Then he pretended to be unconscious and let them tie him up, but in fact as soon as they left, Wen Mian began to take out the dagger in his sleeve to escape.
It wasn’t until the moment Uncle Gu scratched her skin that she pretended to wake up, but in fact she had secretly winked at Gu Man.
Gu Man also cooperated tacitly, irritating Uncle Gu and making him target him. At the same time, Wen Mian moved around and untied the rope to escape from danger.
While she was doing this series of events, Pei Ting naturally received a distress signal and led people over.
Uncle Gu, who was pinned to the ground, was still whining, and police sirens were heard outside.
A group of people’s policemen cautiously ran up to the rooftop and took Uncle Gu from the hands of the two bodyguards. Seeing that he kept struggling, they said solemnly: “People’s policemen are handling the case. Please cooperate actively! Resistance will only increase your punishment!”
Uncle Gu’s complexion suddenly turned gray, and his eyes lost their light.
Seeing that he was no longer resisting, the policeman turned to look at Wen Mian and the other four, and said in a warm voice: “You go and check your body first, we are not in a hurry.”
Lin Tanwei nodded and said, “Thank you.”
Pei Ting, who was on the side, pulled Wen Mian to look around and asked worriedly: “Are you okay? Did he hurt you?”
Suddenly his eyes caught sight of Wen Mian’s bleeding neck. Pei Ting immediately clenched his fists and shot coldly at Uncle Gu who was being led downstairs, wanting to cut him into pieces.
Wen Mian shook her head with a smile and acted coquettishly: “Sister, don’t worry, I’m fine. Gu Man protects me very well.” As she said that, she shook Gu Man’s hand to signal her to speak.
Gu Man didn’t want to talk. On the one hand, she felt a huge headache for some unknown reason. On the other hand, she felt angry and worried because Wen Mian had planned this series of events without telling her. Her whole mind seemed to be divided in two, and no one could gain the upper hand.
But seeing Wen Mian’s coquettish behavior, Gu Man had no choice but to follow her wishes and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll take Wen Wen to the hospital right away.”
Pei Ting still didn’t like her, but because she saved Wen Mian, he didn’t say anything. He turned to look at Lin Tanwei next to him, and then said, “I’ll be with you.”
After saying that, she and Lin Tanwei took the initiative to walk forward.
Wen Mian shook Gu Man’s hand again and whispered, “Let’s go.”
Gu Man gently helped her downstairs. No matter how confused her heart was, her injuries were more important.
.
Uncle Gu has been taken away from the abandoned warehouse by the police. Once there are few people, the warehouse looks particularly gloomy.
With Lin Tan driving the car, Pei Ting sitting in the passenger seat, and Gu Man sitting in the back seat with Wen Mian, the four of them quickly left here and headed to the hospital in the city center.
Fortunately, Wen Mian and Gu Man were not seriously injured, just a scratch on their skin. The doctor disinfected and bandaged them before leaving.
After a thrilling day, Wen Mian’s energy had long been exhausted. At this time, he was not in a hurry to go to the police station and returned home first.
The car stopped in front of her house. Wen Mian turned to look at Gu Man, who was in a daze. He tugged on the corner of her clothes, leaned close to her and whispered, “You come down with me.”
Gu Man’s eyes became hardened, as if she had just come back to her senses. She nodded, got out of the car first, and then reached out to help Wen Mian down.
Lin Tan, who was holding the steering wheel, turned to look at Pei Ting, who was looking complicated, and suddenly asked: “Do you still want to follow?”
Pei Ting looked back and shook his head slightly, “Forget it, let them talk by themselves.”
After she finished speaking, her eyes shone brightly, and her voice was elongated, as if she was coquettishly saying: “Tan Wei, I want to eat ice cream.”
Lin Tan’s expression remained calm, but her voice became doting: “Okay, I’ll take you to buy it.”
The car passed behind Wen Mian and left. Wen Mian breathed out suddenly and looked at Gu Man calmly: “Let’s talk about it here?”
Gu Man nodded and said, “Okay.”
The two sat together on the flower bed beside the road. Wen Mian lowered his head and stared at the small gravel on the ground. He paused for a while before asking, “Are you still angry?”
“A bit.” Gu Man nodded and answered honestly, “I just don’t understand why Wenwen didn’t tell me. Am I so untrustworthy?”
Her tone was very confused, and her eyes showed the grievance that she couldn’t hide.
Gu Man often pretended to be aggrieved in front of Wen Mian. Before that, Wen Mian thought that she was immune to Gu Man’s gaze, but in fact, she still couldn’t resist it.
Especially——Gu Man felt really uncomfortable this time.
She shook her head in panic and denied repeatedly: “Of course not, you are the most trustworthy.”
“Why is that?” Gu Man became even more confused and uncomfortable.
Wen Mian was speechless for a moment, why didn’t he tell Gu Man?In fact, she didn’t know it herself.
Seeing that she didn’t answer for a long time and just lowered her head in silence, Gu Man sighed slowly. She suppressed the confusion in her heart and said instead, “Wen Wen, are you hungry?”
Wen Mian, who was still thinking with his head down, was immediately stunned. He raised his head to look at her blankly and said “Ah” in confusion.
“Let’s eat first, okay?” Gu Man looked at her with his usual gentle gaze.
Looking into these deep eyes, Wen Mian suddenly felt as if she had found the answer. She had lived three lives in her dream, but the first two had bad endings, sad and tragic.
Even though Wen Mian’s heart was strong, it was inevitable that she would be infected a little bit, so she got scared and retreated.
Even though she thought her plan was foolproof, when it came to Gu Man, she still didn’t dare to bet. Even if there was a slight mistake, both of them might lose their lives together.
Wen Mian didn’t want her to die, nor did he want them to repeat the ending of their previous two lives, but… what if!What if it fails again?
So Wen Mian chose to take on this matter alone. She could bear the suffering, failure, panic and various uneasy emotions by herself, as long as Gu Man was not involved.
But she forgot that Gu Man wanted to fight side by side with her more than fighting alone.
Her eyes were astringent, as if tears were about to well up. Wen Mian quickly lowered his head, afraid of being seen by Gu Man.
For the first time, it was the first time that Gu Man didn’t feel bad that she had memories of these three lives. Why didn’t she? If she had them too, she would definitely understand her.
She endured it again and again, but in the end she couldn’t hold it back anymore. Her tears fell to the ground one after another, leaving a small trace of wetness.
Gu Man’s heart tightened, and he quickly took out a tissue and pulled one out. Then he raised Wen Mian’s face, gently wiped her tears, and said in a soft tone, “It’s my fault. You don’t have to say it if you don’t want to.”
Wen Mian sniffed the tip of his nose and shook his head in denial: “It’s not your fault.” His voice was rough, as if it was stuck in his throat.
“It’s either that I don’t want to say it, or… I just don’t know how to tell you.” Wen Mian looked at Gu Man through a hazy mist, his tone aggrieved and at a loss.
Gu Man leaned his forehead against hers and said softly, “I know, you are just afraid. I shouldn’t force you to do this.”
There was a warm touch on his forehead. Gu Man’s eyes were clear and soft as he looked at her. As Wen Mian watched, her agitated heart gradually calmed down.
After a long time, she spoke again, her voice still a little hoarse: “I’m hungry.”
A chuckle escaped from Gu Man’s throat, and the pure smile was blurred in her soft voice. She agreed in a low voice: “Okay.”
She stood up, then bent down and held out her hand.
Wen Mian put his palm on hers and followed her strength to stand up. She glanced around and looked at Gu Man aggrievedly: “There is no car.”
Gu Man gently brushed her hair and replied in a low voice: “It’s okay, I’ve already called the car. Don’t you want some snacks?”
Wen Mian moved his head up and down, extremely curious, his charming fox eyes widened, looking a little cute, “Well, how do you know?”
The smile on Gu Man’s lips deepened, and when he replied to her, he didn’t forget to ask: “As the little princess Wenwen, isn’t it normal for little Queen Gu to write down your taste?”
Wen Mian was shy at first, and then after thinking about it, she realized that it was indeed the case, so she immediately became proud, raised her chin proudly, and called her a king: “You are right.”
The taxi came quickly, and Gu Man took her to the snack street. The two held hands and ate and played.
As a carbohydrate head, Wen Mian’s mood was soon cured, and his head began to wander.
Gu Man kept staring at her with a smile, and he was relieved to see her happy.
.
It was already past nine o’clock in the evening when we got home again. Wen Mian got out of the car, still feeling a little reluctant.
The same was true for Gu Man. For some reason, her heart began to ache from the moment she saw Wen Mian tied to the chair, as if she had been penetrated by thousands of thick needles. Someone was holding the needles of the needles, pulling them out, inserting them, pulling them out, and inserting them again.
Not only the heart, but all the nerves also felt severely pulled. The sharp throbbing pain rushed from the back to the back of the head, drilling hard into the bone seams.
But in order not to worry Wen Mian, she held it back and her expression remained as usual.
Her hands were hidden behind her back covered in cold sweat, her fingertips turned white from exertion, and she made arrangements for Wen Mian in a warm voice: “Don’t worry, I will definitely be there when you open your eyes tomorrow.”
Wen Mian looked at her up and down uneasily, and muttered in confusion: “You still said to me, why didn’t you tell me in advance that you were not feeling well? I only found out now.”
Gu Man’s clenched fingertips relaxed, she smiled, shook her head in a low voice and replied: “I’m fine, I just have a little cold.”
Wen Mian continued to stare at her, and when he saw that her face was not pale as usual, he nodded slowly: “Okay, but I will go find you tomorrow. You have a good rest.”
Gu Man hummed with a slight smile.
After finally thanking the driver, Wen Mian looked at the taillights of the car leaving and didn’t turn around and walk home until they couldn’t see them anymore.
Although they had already informed Wen Rong that they were safe, as family members, they still felt worried and stayed on the sofa in the living room waiting for Wen Mian.
Seeing her finally walking in from the door, Wen Rong stood up suddenly, the sour feeling at the end of her eyes turning a thin red. She almost took three steps at a time and ran to Wen Mian’s side, circling her in a circle.
“Mianmian, are you okay?” She asked in a hurried tone.
Wen Mian smiled and shook his head, coquettishly: “Mom, don’t worry, I’m fine, just a little skin injury.”
Wen Rong looked at her bandaged neck, her eyes became even redder, she felt distressed and annoyed at the same time: “It’s not serious, it’s all disfigured. It’s all your fault, mother, for not protecting you.”
Hearing what she said, Wen Mian was extremely frightened and waved her hands repeatedly, “Mom, it’s not your fault, it’s obviously the bad guy’s fault!”
Knowing that Wen Mian was injured and having to comfort herself, Wen Rong felt even more uncomfortable. She suppressed the astringency in her heart and said softly, “Mianmian is right, it’s all the bad guy’s fault. Are you hungry?”
Wen Mian shook his head: “I’m not hungry. Gu Man took me to eat just now.”
“Gu Man took you with him?” Wen Rong was surprised, then suddenly smiled, “Okay, then Mianmian, let’s go and rest first. If you need to change the dressing, just tell mom, we have a family doctor.”
Wen Mian hummed, she said to Pei Shuran, and then stepped upstairs.
There was still a hint of pain in the wound on his neck. Wen Mian didn’t dare to wash it for too long and walked out of the bathroom soon.
First, he lowered his head and glanced at his phone. There was a message lying quietly on it, from Gu Man.
[Gu Man: Does the wound still hurt?】
Wen Mian leaned on the bedside and lowered his head to reply to her message: It doesn’t hurt anymore. Remember to change the dressing on the wound on your hand.
[Gu Man: Okay.】
Probably because they had “quarreled” not long ago, the two of them fell into silence. In the end, Gu Man broke the atmosphere first.
[Gu Man: Go to sleep, and I’m sorry for putting you in danger.】
Wen Mian responded disapprovingly: Don’t think so, I’m very happy to catch him with you.
A smile twitched at the corners of Gu Man’s lips. He stroked this sentence with his fingertips. He suddenly pressed the voice button and whispered: Good night, little princess Wenwen.
The intimate tone of his voice circled around the tip of Wen Mian’s ear, and then penetrated into her ear.
Wen Mian rubbed his ears uncomfortably and replied: Good night, little Queen Gu.
