Chapter 30: Reunion

Wenxuan was very fast, and before 1 am, he had brought the CT scanner. It was a very functional 32-slice 64-row spiral CT scanner. He also brought a high-power generator that Qian Xiaolan had forgotten to mention. Qian Xiaolan was very happy and casually put a small gadget on the shelf to thank him. Wenxuan was a connoisseur of antiques, and he could tell at a glance that this little thing was worth at least 50,000, how could he accept it? Qian Xiaolan said, “Take it, we lack medicine and supplies here, and we’ll need your help a lot in the future.”

 Wenxuan thought about it and happily accepted it. But he made up his mind to bring more food next time. While Gu Yanqing was still unconscious, Qian Xiaolan and her mother studied the operating instructions for a while, then put him in the CT scanner for a full body scan. Fortunately, Rongqian had been exposed to radiology during her studies abroad, otherwise, even with the equipment, they wouldn’t have been able to use it so soon today. “Fortunately, he only has a broken leg, a broken wrist, a broken finger, three broken ribs, and a concussion.”

“It’s all minor injuries, he won’t die or be disabled.” Rongqian made the final definition, and Qian Xiaolan twitched her lips as she moved the man out of the space. It was indeed “minor injuries,” after all, his body had withstood the blast of a bomb, and to only suffer these minor injuries, it could be said that he was blessed and had a good destiny. Qian Rongsheng stared at Gu Yanqing with a look of disbelief: “Little sister, how did he manage to only suffer these minor injuries under the force of a bomb explosion?” Qian Xiaolan shrugged: “I want to know too, maybe he’s full of righteousness, and good fortune follows those who are destined for good.”

 *Gu Yanqing woke up the next afternoon, when Qian Xiaolan was bending over to change his dressing. As soon as he opened his eyes and saw that face he had been thinking about day and night, he thought he was dreaming, and he couldn’t help but close his eyes and laugh bitterly: “Hey, why am I seeing that heartless woman again?” Qian Xiaolan’s movements stopped, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes, falling onto Gu Yanqing’s hand. He suddenly opened his eyes, realizing that this was different from his previous dreams, Qian Xiaolan was still there.

He stared at he, his eyes filled with love, pain, and relief: “Xiaolan, it’s good to be able to see you again before I die.” Qian Xiaolan choked: “You idiot, who said you were going to die?” She said, weeping uncontrollably: “Yanqing, I’m sorry!

It’s all my fault for being so sentimental that I hurt you, I owe you my life.” Gu Yanqing was finally startled, realizing that the person in front of him was real. He was overjoyed and wanted to reach out to touch her, but he found that both his hands were immobile. He wanted to get up, but he suddenly vomited. Qian Xiaolan frantically pressed a few acupoints on him, and he stopped, looking at her with longing eyes. Qian Xiaolan’s heart instantly softened, and her voice unconsciously softened. “Don’t move, you were blown up yesterday, you have multiple fractures, and now they’ve all been fixed.” The warm touch on his body made Gu Yanqing’s eyes turn red, and he kept calling Qian Xiaolan’s name. Qian Xiaolan gently hugged him, responding to him softly.

The two, reunited after death, didn’t experience the twists and turns of the storybooks, they just recognized each other naturally and smoothly. Gu Yanqing was tired of calling out, so Qian Xiaolan continued: “Yanqing, I’m sorry! It’s all my fault for being so sentimental and willful, that’s why you lost your life for no reason.” Gu Yanqing shook his head: “It’s not your fault, that truck was aimed at me, it just happened to happen after we argued, making you feel guilty and painful.”

 Qian Xiaolan blinked, “Was it your father’s illegitimate son who did it?” Gu Yanqing nodded. In wealthy families, there were always illegitimate children, and there was always constant infighting. Gu Yanqing had long known that the illegitimate son was planning to deal with him, and not only him, but also the one he loved. Therefore, when Gu Yanqing knew that his mother had verbally humiliated Qian Xiaolan, he didn’t apologize, but instead, he came to force Qian Xiaolan to date him again. Sure enough, he angered Qian Xiaolan, and the two had a big fight, and they parted ways unhappily. Gu Yanqing thought that this would make the illegitimate son give up on dealing with Qian Xiaolan, but he didn’t expect that even though he died, Qian Xiaolan still didn’t escape.

Hearing this, Qian Xiaolan’s hanging heart finally fell back into place. It’s good, Gu Yanqing’s death wasn’t because of her. Otherwise, she really didn’t know how the two of them would get along in the future. With the stone in her heart settled, Qian Xiaolan smiled and got up, bringing over a bowl of congee to feed Gu Yanqing. Just as their eyes were locked, the courtyard door was knocked on, followed by Hu Guifen’s voice. “Xiaolan, are you home?” Qian Xiaolan’s face changed, “Oh no, my aunt is here! You can’t let her see you like this, can you?” After a long separation, Gu Yanqing’s love brain had just recovered, and now his heart and eyes were all on Qian Xiaolan. How could he care about others? So he didn’t even realize who the aunt Qian Xiaolan was talking about was.

 “Gu Yanqing, your mom is here!” “Ah? Who?” “Your mom, Comrade Hu Guifen, she’s outside the courtyard now, do you want her to see you like this?” Gu Yanqing instantly sobered up, “Why is she here? She can’t see me, she absolutely can’t!” He had been here for almost five years, and he hadn’t gone home once, firstly because he was afraid of being recognized as not being the original owner. Secondly, every time he talked to Comrade Hu Guifen on the phone, her loud and caring words made him feel helpless. His mother in his previous life spoke softly, but her smile never reached her eyes, and in order to keep his father’s heart, she constantly pressured him to become better. She never considered his feelings, nor did she care about his body.

But in the few short phone calls with Hu Guifen, he felt an unprecedented care. He was touched and enjoyed it. So he selfishly didn’t go home, selfishly didn’t tell Hu Guifen that their son was gone, and that he was an imposter. Seeing his reaction so big, Qian Xiaolan asked him to stay in the room and not make a sound, and she went out to have a look. As soon as Qian Xiaolan left, Gu Yanqing belatedly remembered something and instantly looked like he had lost all hope.

After a while, Qian Xiaolan came back and saw Gu Yanqing closing his eyes and pretending to be dead. She asked him with a smile, “What’s wrong?” Gu Yanqing didn’t say anything. Qian Xiaolan held back her laughter, “Do you need to go to the bathroom?” Gu Yanqing shook his head, his voice muffled: “Xiaolan, if I did something to make you unhappy, can you forgive me?” Qian Xiaolan put away her smile and opened his eyes: “Did you have someone else outside?” “No. But my mom said before that she had arranged a marriage for me, I’ve been here for almost five years, and I’ve been looking for you, but I haven’t found you.

I thought we were destined to never be together, my mom was worried about my marriage, so I let her arrange it, anyway, it’s not you, it’s the same whoever it is. Xiaolan, I didn’t mean to give up on you, I just didn’t want to disappoint and upset my mother who is so good to me again and again. I promise that my heart hasn’t changed for you, I haven’t even heard the girl’s name clearly.” Gu Yanqing spoke quickly and urgently, he almost swore an oath.

Qian Xiaolan: “…”
