Chapter 2: Reward her in another way
Gu Miao fainted from the pain.
If she could go back to two hours ago, she swore that she would never listen to the coaxing of this neurotic system and accept that kind of neurological compensation!
When she woke up again, it seemed that she had changed rooms. Before she could take a closer look, she was forced to undergo a series of inspections.
The final report showed that nothing happened.
Seeing this result, several doctors breathed a sigh of relief.
If something happens to Miss Gu, Mr. Jiang said, they will all be buried with her!
At the same time, it wasn't just them who breathed a sigh of relief, but also Gu Miao.
After hearing this result, she lay back on the bed with peace of mind.
[Host, I told you this function won’t kill anyone! Once you use it a few more times, your body will get used to it and you won’t feel dizzy! 】
"..."
Is this the point?
What she was afraid of was pain!
"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, Miss Gu is in good health. She may be coughing up blood because she fell into the sea not long ago..."
Gu Miao lay on the bed and listened with her ears pricked up. The doctor chattered a lot of professional terms. She couldn't quite understand it, but she concluded that the reason for her coughing up blood was probably two words - detoxification.
Choked.
Wait, her body seems a little too healthy now?
Isn’t this all a flaw?
Even if a minor cold is detected, paronychia is not the problem!
At least it could explain her motivation for going to the hospital today.
You can't really say it's for He Zhihuai, right?
Thinking of Jiang Qingshi's blackening value reaching 99 before fainting, Gu Miao closed her eyes and wished she could pass out immediately.
Suddenly, she thought of something, opened her eyes and looked around, her eyes falling on the Chinese retro ceramic table lamp beside the bed.
"Hiss, system, you said this thing, if you light it on my head, will I faint immediately?"
[Host, don’t be confused! 】
"Does it hurt if I hit my forehead, or the back of my head? Or my temples?"
Gu Miao ignored it, holding the desk lamp around her head and making gestures back and forth, clenching her back teeth again and again! A few minutes passed, but I couldn't make a move.
She sighed softly, "How about giving Jiang Qingshi a slap on the back of his head."
【……】
The conversation at the door suddenly stopped, and Gu Miao quickly lay back down and pretended to sleep.
I didn't have time to put the desk lamp back into place, so I just threw it into the bed.
She had thought about it, if Jiang Qingshi went crazy, she would show her big baby and give him a hard blow!
Just hit and run, once and for all.
The tulle bed curtain was lifted to one side and tied by the servant, and the tall figure stopped beside the bed.
Gu Miao's breathing was stagnant, and even with her eyes closed, she could still feel the intense gaze lingering on her face.
Then the shadow flickered and the bed collapsed. Jiang Qingshi came closer and touched her face with one hand.
His hands were shaking as he repeatedly confirmed his lost treasure.
Gu Miao's cheeks felt itchy, but she didn't dare to move.
His fingertips lingered on her lips, and his force was very light this time.
Before she fell into coma, her eyes were splitting when she saw Jiang Qing, and she pressed her lips hard, as if trying to help her stop the bleeding.
Blood beads dyed his fingertips red and soiled the beads in his hand.
The string of Buddhist beads that he had not yet had time to return to their original position brushed against her lower lip intentionally or unintentionally, and the familiar smell of Qinan agarwood was the same as in her memory.
Previously, the Gu family's parents slapped her inexplicably, and she ran out of the house in anger.
It rained outside.
The Jiang family and the Gu family are family friends and live very close to each other. She ran into Jiang Qingshi's car not long after running.
So, on a rainy night, she sat soaked on his bed, and he stood beside the bed, wiping away her tears with the hand wrapped with prayer beads.
And she smelled the smell of agarwood, as if she was drunk, her clear eyes were shining with tears, and she reached out and hugged his waist: "Mr. Jiang, can you hug Miao Miao?"
"Miao Miao really hurts..."
——
"Hiss."
Suddenly there was a stinging sensation on her lips, and Gu Miao's eyes widened.
"Hmm!"
Jiang Qingshi put a hand on the back of her neck, kneading it hard to make her relax her vigilance, and kissed her with increasing force.
Gu Miao subconsciously touched the lamp under the quilt and quickly let go.
Forget it, you won’t die if you kiss her!
But if you kill someone and go to jail, you have to pay with your life!
Jiang Qingshi's kiss was airtight, and Gu Miao raised her head and was forced to bear it.
After a long time, she felt that she was about to drown, and instinctively reached out to push his shoulder.
Jiang Qingshi stood up and stared at her red lips that were kissed, "Didn't He Zhihuai teach you to breathe?"
"Ah?" Gu Miao was stunned by the kiss and felt a little hypoxic, "...who?"
What is Huai? Congratulations to Huai? Congratulations for what?
Her chest heaved violently, and her eyelashes trembled as she looked at him, her eyes clear and harmless, like a confused young deer.
After reacting, she shook her head in horror, "We didn't!"
Jiang Qingshi liked her obedient appearance very much. He didn't know if he really believed it or if he didn't want to mention it anymore, so he didn't ask further.
When he spoke again, his tone was calm, "Where has Miaomiao been hiding in the past two months?"
"I..." Gu Miao glanced at his blackening value.
Well, ninety-five, a very reassuring number.
This time she answered the question more sincerely, "I thought I was dead, but I was rescued and was unconscious for a long time before I woke up."
After saying that, she stared at the numbers above his head. When she saw that there was no fluctuation, she relaxed her vigilance.
"Why don't you come back?"
Well, pretending to be sick is definitely out of the question.
The doctor said she is in great health now and has no internal or external injuries at all.
"I...I'm afraid you'll blame me for ruining my sister's college entrance banquet." She lowered her eyes, her voice was waxy, and she sounded extremely pitiful. "I won't." After a pause, he added: "Even if others can, as long as I am here, no one can hurt you."
Gu Miao was at a loss for words and couldn't help complaining to the system: "This old man, now he knows how to control other male protagonists, and he looks like he is the best in the world?!"
"Isn't he the one who locked me in the room on the last cruise ship?"
[Um, host, calm down. 】
Taking a deep breath, Gu Miao continued to perform: "But my parents will blame me."
"Brother Qingshi, you know that if I make a mistake, I will be imprisoned in the basement. I'm afraid that if I come back... they will imprison me again!"
"I almost died in there before, I don't want to go back there again!"
She began to choke.
"I didn't go to the hospital looking for anyone..." Brother.
Jiang Qingshi's eyes were cold, and his blackening value jumped up by a number.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Gu Miao stopped and cried.
Is this guy's mood swings so big now?
She still remembers that when she was lying on the same bed with him before, this person ignored her and fell asleep immediately with her heart still.
How could I, a Buddhist disciple from Beijing, have broken my precepts?
She still preferred the way he looked arrogant at first, treating her as nothing.
well.
Gu Miao changed her strategy, stretched out her hand and gently pulled his cuff, "Brother Qingshi, I miss you so much."
"Really?"
"Really!" Gu Miao immediately sat up to speak more easily: "I've been thinking about you all the time these two months! You don't know, I..."
The quilt slipped from her body, and Jiang Qingshi lowered her head, "What is this?"
Gu Miao also lowered her head, and the two of them were stunned at the same time when they looked at the lamp.
"...I just saw that it looked pretty, so I took it over to appreciate it carefully."
"Like?"
"Uh, yes! I like it!"
Jiang Qingshi glanced at her, then waved to the servant, brought the soup and medicine, "Drink the medicine obediently, and I will reward you with it."
"..." Why does she need this broken desk lamp? Does she get up in the middle of the night to assassinate him?
Gu Miao forced herself to drink it all.
"It's so painful!" She fed him sweets in her mouth and looked down at the broken desk lamp in her arms. No matter how she looked at it, she felt it wasn't worth it.
"Brother Qingshi, can you reward me in a different way next time?"
For example, hit her hard with money!
The girl's voice was gentle and soft, almost like a coquettish one. Jiang Qingshi looked at her silently, his eyes like a cold pool with no bottom.
Gu Miao blinked, and belatedly realized that she seemed to have said something inappropriate for children.
"Me! I didn't mean that!" She glanced at a certain part of his face and her cheeks turned red. "The reward I want is not this, but that..." Money!
"I know."
Um? Are you sure? Then why does the look in her eyes still carry some hint, naked...
Gu Miao was embarrassed and at a loss, looking around wildly.
Fortunately, the maid came in in time and said, "Mr. Jiang, your invited guests have arrived."
"Brother Qingshi, hurry up and meet the guests! I just want to sleep a little longer!"
Not sure what he was thinking of, Jiang Qingshi frowned slightly.
Gu Miao thought that her intention to chase people away was too obvious, so she softened her voice and said, "I'm really sleepy."
Jiang Qingshi thought for a moment, then stood up and tucked her into bed.
As soon as they left, Gu Miao kicked off the quilt and called out the system: "Guest? Who is here? Do I know him?"
[It’s an acquaintance, the male protagonist Gu Xu. 】
Oh, her eldest brother who is the tycoon in Hong Kong.
The foundation of the Gu family is in Beijing, but Gu Xu was taken to the public house outside Hong Kong City when he was a child and was groomed as an heir.
Because he had not been with Gu's parents since he was a child, and the real daughter disappeared when he was a child, Gu's parents felt that the family was deserted, so they adopted a substitute for the real daughter, that is, a female partner.
According to the description in the original book, Gu Xu lives up to expectations, is decisive in killing, and calm in his work. He is a rare business wizard. At the same time, he is also good at disguise. He looks like a gentleman but is as cold as a stone on the inside.
The female supporting character only briefly met him twice before being locked up in the basement. Gu Xu had never taken this sister seriously and looked down upon her every time.
However, her own impression of Gu Xu was not bad.
He was the first male protagonist she decided to conquer.
She really wasn't pretending before, she was afraid of pain, and she was really afraid of the dark.
The Gu family's basement was like an underwater cage, cold, damp, and suffocating.
In addition, he didn’t have enough to eat and sleep well, and he had no communication equipment to contact the outside world. At that time, she was really afraid of following the same path of the female supporting role in the original book.
In that environment, even if you don't starve to death in the end, you will be driven crazy.
She tried to bribe the servants, but to no avail.
When she was most helpless, Gu Xu appeared.
That day he flew back from Hong Kong to celebrate the heroine's birthday. After drinking, because he was not familiar with the layout of Gu's house, he accidentally walked to the basement.
She ran over with bare feet and banged on the door.
She was very embarrassed at the time, her white dress was stained all over, and her suspenders were cut and hung loosely on her arms.
And he stood outside the door brightly in a suit and leather shoes, staring at her indifferently through the glass window on the door with a pair of black eyes under gold-rimmed glasses.
It's like looking at an item and thinking about its value.
She cried so loudly and begged him with all her strength.
"Brother, I am your sister Miaomiao..."
"Please, Miaomiao knows I was wrong, really wrong! I will apologize to my sister! Brother, please help me..."
