Chapter 31 – High! Get High With Me!
Not bad, still tolerable. Only that the tune was barely adequate, so they had to get used to it bit by bit…
Gu Qingyu was so drunk that she was totally unaware of the crowd, "yi~yi~yi~ If you"re not here, I"m not here, yi~yi~yi~ then, who would be there~!"
"yi~yi~yi~ If you"re not here, I"m not here, yi~yi~yi~ then, who would be there~!" Qi Wan sang along.
Every time they went "yi", the people downstairs would s.h.i.+ver.
"En uh~uh en~uh~~en~eh!" Gu Qingyu began the next part, and the crowd started to nod their heads.
"En uh~~~~" Qi Wan continued on.
The crowd downstairs felt, for some reason, a kind of chilling feeling…
When everyone thought that Gu Qingyu was done with singing!
Gu Qingyu suddenly sang out, in an even louder voice, "MOUNTAIN TOOOOP—JUST COME WITH ME—EVERYONE GET HIGH WITH ME!!"
Qi Wan also increased his voice, "MOUNTAIN TOOOOOOOOP—! JUST COME WITH ME—!"
"MOUNTAIN TOOOOOOOOOOP—! JUST COME WITH ME—!"
Gu Qingyu wrapped up, "Wuu~~"
The song finished. A cold breeze brushed past her, making her a little more sober. She lowered her head, and spotted the crowd down below in the middle of being windswept splendidly into plaster.
Just as everyone wanted to sing in chorus: When the northern wind blows~ The snowflakes floats~1
Gu Qingyu looked down at everyone, "Huh? What are you all doing?" She waved her hands, her legs seemed unsteady. Qi Wan quickly held out his hands and grabbed Gu Qingyu incase she would fall down.
"Did you all get stunned by my overly amazing and wonderful voice?" Gu Qingyu covered her rosy cheeks and said in a timid and shy manner.
"…" Qi Wan weakly said, "Boss, you"re drunk!"
!”?! You can be drunk!" Gu Qingyu batted him an eye.
"Ok, ok, ok. I am drunk, I am. Hurry up and go sleep!" Qi Wan tried to sweet talk her into going back down.
Gu Qingyu batted him an eye, the smell of alcohol reeked as she spoke, "Are you treating me like a kid?!"
At this moment, a beautiful voice arose, "You can go sleep. Let me handle her."
A light blue robe, it was naturally Jia Qizhe.
Qi Wan looked at Gu Qingyu first, then at Jia Qizhe, and revealed a knowing smile, "Brother Jia! If you"re thinking of doing something, then just say it out boldly! I"ll always support you! Hwaiting!"
Jia Qizhe swept Qi Wan with a glance, "I suddenly have the urge of twisting your brain off. Only this and nothing more."
"Please don"t. You can"t just randomly throw out these types of jokes like that!" Qi Wan jumped off the roof without delay, and before he prepared to jump down, he cheekily added another, "Brother Jia, you can do it!"
"…" Jia Qizhe remained silent.
"…" Qian Cheng"s lips curled.
"Hahaha!" Gu Qingyu lost it.
"Are you finished yet? If you"re done, then go back and sleep." Jia Qizhe looked at Gu Qingyu.
With the help and communication of Mo Bai, Qi Yichen, Murong Zuoyu and Xiao Qi, the ma.s.ses slowly dispersed. Qian Cheng thought Jia Qizhe was refraining to himself and help animosity towards him, and vanished in a flash..
Right now, only the two of them remained on the rooftop.
It was calm and serene, even the lightest breeze could be heard.
Jia Qizhe slightly narrowed his eyes at her, "Suddenly decided to get drunk tonight, huh?"
Gu Qingyu nodded very honestly. She didn"t know why, but she got the s.h.i.+vers when she heard that last "huh".
"And you even got Qi Wan to join you?" For some reason, Jia Qizhe"s voice turned very gentle and soft.
Too gentle.
Gentle to the point it felt strange.
It made her somewhat frightened.
Under that gentle tone, a piercing chill hid beneath.
"Hehehehe…" Gu Qingyu got scared sober, then smiled as she beat around the bush, "Ah! The weather today is so nice! How can the sun be so radiant!"
"It currently middle of the night." Jia Qizhe "kindly" reminded her.
"Ah! There are no clouds, and the stars are s.h.i.+ning brilliantly!" Gu Qingyu waved her hands and said again.
"Rumble—!"
As her words faded, thunder sounded and sudden rain drizzled down.
Jia Qizhe"s smile under the moon was even more enchanting than usual, "Brother Zhu, you went a little overboard today."
"Uh?" Gu Qingyu stared at Jia Qizhe, drunken and bleary eyed.
"Hehe." Jia Qizhe softly chuckled, "Brother Zhu, are you cold?"
Gu Qingyu sobered up for the greater part of his random question.
Her clothes were very light and frilly, standing in the midst of the cold wind on the rooftop!
Gu Qingyu nodded at once.
"I think you look very warm." Jia Qizhe slightly narrowed his eyes, "Cooling down a little more doesn"t sound too bad."
"Brother Jia, I think I"ll take my leave first…" Gu Qingyu weakly gulped, "Goodbye, Goodnight…"
She changed direction and took a step, "Ah!"
Jia Qizhe grabbed her, and spread out his blue wings and flew up together.
Seeing Jia Qizhe flying higher and higher, Gu Qingyu became completely sober.
"Wuaah, Jia Qizhe! Let me go!" Gu Qingyu was s.h.i.+vering in the cold wind into a ball, "I am scared of heights…"
"Tsk, are you feeling better now?" Jia Qizhe asked unhurriedly from above.
She could hear from his tone that he was in a bad mood.
Very bad mood!
GU Qingyu nodded frantically and wept without tears, "Yes, I am feeling better now!"
"Have you sobered up?" He asked unhurried again.
"Yes! I am sober now!" Gu Qingyu s.h.i.+vered like a sieve.
It"s freezing cold!
She could even hear her own teeth go "ge ge ge".
Uwuwu, this unforgettable night!
Jia Qizhe lightly pulled and placed Gu Qingyu into his embrace, "If you"re sober then good."
"Wuuu…" Gu Qingyu tightly gripped around Jia Qizhe, while sneezing and sniveling.
"Ai." Jia Qizhe suddenly sighed, "What should I do with you."
As his words fell, Gu Qingyu felt a wave of warmth enter her body.
Was it… Jia Qizhe?
In the night sky, his light blue robe and long black hair fluttered around with the wind.
Indescribably cool.
Gu Qingyu s.h.i.+vered, then gradually eased up.
"Are you feeling better?" The same exact sentence as earlier, but this time with a mix of concern.
"Mm…" Gu Qingyu slowly shut her eyes.
Her consciousness slowly to faded…
She opened her eyes anew, and saw a white wall in front of her, finding herself lying on a table.
On the table laid a couple of white sheets, a pile of folders and a ballpoint pen.
Slow down! A ballpoint pen?!
Gu Qingyu stood up immediately, and found herself dressed in a white doctor coat.
A person entered the room, "Dr. Gu, I"m here."
"You…" Gu Qingyu stared at him and suddenly came to a realization.
She was very well much familiar with this face, it was her director back at the hospital.
"What is it, Dr. Gu? Are you not feeling well today?" The director stood in front of Gu Qingyu, and waved his hands, smiling very gentle and warm. He looked like to be around twenty something..
For some reasons, his face seemed to resemble a certain person.
Suddenly, she started to recall the memories of the past.
"No, I"m fine…" Gu Qingyu quickly came back to her spirit, "Director, I"m great!"
"All right, do your work then." Director smiled.
Gu Qingyu nodded and sat down.
Yi? Didn"t she already transmigrate to the ancient era already?
Jia Qizhe, Qi Yichen, Mo Bai, Xiao Qi, Xue Zang, Murong Zuoyu, Qi Wan, Venerable Flames… where did everyone go?
I"ve… returned to the modern era?!
No! I want to go back!
They are… waiting for me!
Gu Qingyu immediately stood up. Suddenly, someone opened the door.
"You are…" Gu Qingyu was completely gobsmacked, staring at the red robed, coquet man, with his long black hair trail over his shoulders, "Venerable Flames? How did you get here? I-…How did I return?"
"You never returned." A faint smile was playing at the corners of his mouth, "It"s just a dream."
"I"m… in a dream?" Gu Qingyu looked at Venerable Flames, puzzled.
"This is merely a part of your memory." Venerable Flames shrugged indifferently, "Take your time and reminisce, this is something I made, with the help of your memories. Take it as a employment benefits for everything you"ve done for your master."
Employment benefits?
This rock!
Quite knowledgeable!!
Gu Qingyu nodded, "Why thank you!" Gu Qingyu"s eyes turned, "Thank you!"
"You"re welcome" Venerable sat down on the chair, with his arms crossed. He said effortlessly, "You are welcome."
"Eh?" Gu Qingyu was started by his sudden English, "You know quite a lot! But… are you just going to sit here?"
"Of course." Venerable Flames smiled brightly, "Relax, the people here can"t see me."
"But I can!" Gu Qingyu opened her eyes wide, "Big boss, don"t make it so awkward, please!"
Suddenly, a person pushed open the door and walked in.
"Doctor, I stumbled on a couple of problems recently…" A girl came in and sat in front of Gu Qingyu.
Gu Qingyu looked at Venerable Flames, then at the girl, and found out that the girl really couldn"t see him.
Okay, seems like this rock is telling the truth.
Since it"s a dream, then let"s just take this in as an experience.
"Tell me, what is troubling you?" Gu Qingyu suddenly revealed a professional gentle smile.
The girl"s complexion was deathly pale, her lips also as pale, "Dr. Gu, recently, my friend has cast me aside… and not only that, she even treats me like I"m an alien…"
Gu Qingyu blanked out for a moment.
These types of cases were too common!
She nodded, "Although she"s keeping a distance from you, then that means that she didn"t have much of a sincerity towards your friends.h.i.+p from the start. Or it could also be that you two had a couple of happy moments together, but she"s ultimately unable to accept the current you. Why don"t you go find some new friends."
She suddenly thought of herself.
A cat demon.
But, Jia Qizhe, Qi Yichen, Mo Bai, Qi Wan, Xiao Qi… and Venerable Flames. None of them showed contempt towards her.
Shouldn"t I be rejoicing then?
Having so many great friends.
The girl shakes her head, "It"s useless. I"m already… too scared to confront anyone anymore."
"But, when you are spending time with true friends, you will feel like that the past doesn"t really matter." Gu Qingyu shrugged, "Don"t lose your head out of fear because being at a loss presently. You should be positive, and keep trying to find your own friends.—There will definitely be one that will leave the most unforgettable and precious memories with you."
"Thank you, Dr. Gu!" The girl laughed heartfeltly.
The girl went out.
"Not bad." Venerable Flames laughed and applauded.
Gu Qingyu smoothed out a smile at him, "Thank you, Venerable Flames!"
"Why thank me?" Venerable Flames raised his eyebrows.
Gu Qingyu happily tilted her head to the side, "This was all you, right? That girl just now should be someone you set up? I"m truly grateful to you, I know your intentions!"
Song of the year: ↩
Chapter 32 – Venerable Flames" "Benefits" For Her
Gu Qingyu understood.
Venerable Flames wanted her to understand and cherish what she had.
Her friends, that treated her so well.
Jia Qizhe, who bought steamed buns for her. That time in danger, Qi Yichen was there to guard her. In one of her most difficult moments, Mo Bai had appeared to resolve her problems. The one and always unconditionally following her, Xiao Qi. Murong Zuoyu who always cared for her no matter how cold he was. Including the one who had always helped her and taught her many things, Venerable Flames. Then there was also… Qi Wan, who kept her company and sang fearlessly in the middle of the night on top of the roof.
"You got it? If you understand, then all is good. But it spent quite a bit of my time." Venerable Flames raised his eyebrows, "Maybe it"s time to wake up? They"re all waiting for you."
Gu Qingyu nodded, "Yupp!" She started to feel impatient, wanting to see her friends.
"Then, cherish dearly everything you have." Venerable Flames waved his red sleeves.
Gu Qingyu opened her eyes.
Jia Qizhe came into her view.
"You"re up?" He seemed to be really happy when Gu Qingyu woke up, "Mo Bai!"
"Mm." A gentle voice sounded through, Gu Qingyu felt her hand being held by someone.
Oh, Mo Bai was taking her pulse.
"How do you feel?" Mo Bai slightly creased his brows.
Gu Qingyu sat up, "Uuh… Nothing in particular… I should be fine… cough, cough, cough!"
Before having finished her sentence, Gu Qingyu felt dizzy and her throat was itchy.
There seemed to be only her, Jia Qizhe and Mo Bai in the room.
Gu Qingyu subconsciously touched her forehead, then placed her hand on Mo Bai"s forehead.
Uwuwu, I think I have a fever.
So piti-freaking-ful!
Mo Bai blushed, "Brother Zhu, you caught a cold."
"Cold?" Gu Qingyu blinked, "Isn"t this a fever?"
"Fever?" Mo Bai slightly tilted his head to the side, "What do we do?"
"Uuh… should… roughly… perhaps… probably… be… similar… to… a cold… I think… ?" said Gu Qingyu very unsure of herself.
Mo Bai nodded, "Then, I"ll prescribe something for you."
"Ah? Medicine?" Gu Qingyu stared at him wide eyed, "Mo Bai, can I not drink?"
"This…" Mo Bai looked at Gu Qingyu"s startlingly "sincere" eyes, he hesitated, "No."
"Sniff…" Gu Qingyu"s eyes s.h.i.+fted towards Jia Qizhe, "Jia…"
"Suddenly thought of me?" Jia Qizhe slightly raised his eyebrows, interrupting Gu Qingyu.
Gu Qingyu tried to speak again, "Jia-…"
"Just tell me what you want to say." Jia Qizhe interrupted.
Gu Qingyu gaped, "Why does it feel like this b.a.s.t.a.r.d is planning to keep interrupting whatever I"m trying to say?!"
Gu Qingyu immediately said, "Jia…"
"Mm, I am listening." Another sentence.
Gu Qingyu exploded, "@$"#"!#! Get out of your daddy"s sight!"
"You"re finally normal again?" Jia Qizhe raised his eyebrows, glancing at her lazily. He added, "I still prefer your lively self. … Tell me now what you wanted, I won"t interrupt you any more."
"I…" Gu Qingyu involuntarily blanked out, "What did I want again?"
She was full of anger, "I"m fine!"
Even if I wanted something, it"s already been disregarded by you!!
"Great then, drink the medicine." Jia Qizhe pointed with his chin towards the bowl in Mo Bai"s hands.
"Slow down! Medicine? Mo Bai, since when did you make this?" Gu Qingyu stared, terrified at the bowl, "I-I refuse to drink!"
"Let me." Jia Qizhe took the bowl from Mo Bai"s hands, "You can go back now."
A cold gleam flashed past Mo Bai"s eyes, he looked at Gu Qingyu, then left.
Jia Qizhe smiled disapprovingly, he waved his hand and the door shut close.
"Where are the others?" Gu Qingyu weakly said.
Jia Qizhe raised his eyebrows, "After being tormented by you for the whole night, where else do you think they"ll be?"
"Uhh…Hehe." Gu Qingyu laughed awkwardly, "Got it, hehe…"
"Hurry up and drink." Jia Qizhe pa.s.sed over the bowl.
Gu Qingyu did her best to wring her head, "A-are you not going to sleep?"
"I"m not tired." Jia Qizhe rubbed his forehead. He seemed very tired, but gave off a kind of sleepy aesthetic, "Are you going to drink or not?"
"I…" Gu Qingyu pouted, "don"t…uuuh!"
Jia Qizhe caught her off guard and pressed her down. One hand pinching her nose, and other pouring down the medicine.
"Glug, glug, glug…" Gu Qingyu creased her brows and drank with her eyes closed, "Bah!"
To her surprise, she found out that the medicine wasn"t bitter at all! There was even a sour and sweet taste to it!
"How was it?" Jia Qizhe had a smiling expression on, yet not smiling.
Gu Qingyu foolishly nodded, "It"s good!"
"Want some more?"
Gu Qingyu nodded again, "Want!"
He handed over another bowl of medicine.
Gu Qingyu didn"t think twice and drank it all in one gulp.
"Uwu… ah! So bitter!" Gu Qingyu involuntarily dropped the bowl, which was caught by Jia Qizhe by reflex.
Gu Qingyu miserably discovered that she couldn"t spit it out anymore…
"Good girl~ If we put in other sweet supplements, the medicine won"t be as effective." Jia Qizhe casually flung his hands, and the bowl "floated" to the table by itself.
Could this be the legendary "slap in the face"-feeling?
Gu Qingyu fiercely glared at Jia Qizhe, "Jia Qizhe! You jerk!"
Jia Qizhe"s face immediately turned grim. He stood up, "Heh, whatever. I"ve been here nursing without a wink of sleep for the whole night, and you actually… whatever, please rest well."
Having said that, he turned around preparing to leave.
"H-ey!" Gu Qingyu timidly grabbed at Jia Qizhe"s sleeve before he left.
"What?" Jia Qizhe slightly inclined to the side, his eyes were extremely cold and grim, but there was still a slight trace of sadness and grievance.
And this tiny amount of "sadness" and "grievance" was caught by Gu Qingyu.
A wave of shame washed over her, Gu Qingyu hurriedly said, "I was wrong!"
"You, did nothing wrong." Jia Qizhe looked away, pulled away his sleeve and left.
His words were very soft, but Gu Qingyu never noticed the slightly curved lips as well as the faint eye smile on Jia Qizhe"s face.
Gu Qingyu gazed towards the closing door, her heart felt desolate.
Should I give chase? or not?
Gu Qingyu! Have some more backbone!
Gu Qingyu clenched her teeth. She put on a robe and jumped off the bed and chased after him.
She arrived outside Jia Qizhe"s room. She stopped just as she was about to kick through the door, then took a deep breath and lightly knocked on the door.
The door opened. Jia Qizhe stood there dressed in a blue robe and softly asked, "Do you need anything?"
"Jia Qizhe! I was wrong!" Gu Qingyu rushed to apologize, "I shouldn"t have said those words to you! I"m really grateful for everything!"
Jia Qizhe"s calm indifference swept away. He leaned towards the door, with a kind of indescribable overbearing, "You know you"re in the wrong now?"
What is all this?!
Feeling that I got played with from the beginning?!
I even felt guilty and ashamed for so long! Even thinking over it and considering for quite a while!!
"Jia Qizhe!!" Gu Qingyu yelled, "Go to h.e.l.l!"
"Well, if you can kill me, that is." He had a smile of amus.e.m.e.nt, "All right. Go and try to get some rest, we"ll be setting out tomorrow."
"…" Gu Qingyu hesitated, "Okay."
She was originally planning to tell him that she was okay already, and that they could leave in the afternoon, but she suddenly thought of Qian Cheng, wanting to ask him a question.
After all… she refused to believe that Qian Cheng didn"t care for her spite everything.
Although they barely met and spent time together… she still hated the taste of getting thrown away.
Just like in the past.
"Don"t think too much." Jia Qizhe patted her head, "Go and rest."
Gu Qingyu rolled her eyes, and left without turning her head.
Treating me like a little kid?
Hmph.
After Gu Qingyu left, Jia Qizhe"s lips curled up, filled with charm and grace.
Just as Gu Qingyu returned to her room, the door rang.
"Who?" Gu Qingyu slightly creased her brows and looked outside the door.
"Boss, it"s me!" It was Qi Wan"s voice.
"Come in." Gu Qingyu let out a breath.
Qi Wan opened the door, "How do you feel?"
"Not too bad, I guess!" Gu Qingyu stuck out her tongue, "Thank G.o.d, we transmigrated to a magical fictional world. I"ve read about the cold, that it was extremely dangerous in the ancient eras, it couldn"t gone really bad if we didn"t have magic!"
"I never realized before, but you"re quite the studious one." Qi Wan raised his eyebrows.
Gu Qingyu rolled her eyes at him, "You too, good boy."
Sending Qi Wan away, Gu Qingyu looked at the dreary weather, it seemed like it was going to rain soon. She planned to find Qian Cheng before it started to rain.
She went back to the place where she saw Qian Cheng last.
Since birth, Gu Qingyu had always been somebody who didn"t bother others unless she was bothered first. And if you offended her, she would definitely… "kekeke". That"s why this Qian Cheng infuriated her.
[Dreamie : Please imagine what the meaning of "kekeke" is by yourself.(╯▽╰)~]
She was convinced that Qian Cheng would definitely come back here! Intuition!!
"I am not human if I don"t take my revenge!" Gu Qingyu imitated those people of ancient times, "I"m so p.i.s.sed off!!"
Hilarious…
"Puu—" A burst of laughter could be heard behind her.
At the same time, Gu Qingyu turned around and crossed her arms, "You came?"
Qian Cheng nodded, and walked forwards in a very righteous manner, "Yes! I am here to admit my wrongdoings!"
"Quite self conscious, heh." Gu Qingyu raised her eyebrows, "Since you"ve prepared yourself, then let"s… hehe~"
There was an unsettling feeling behind her smile, causing Qian Cheng to break out in a sweat.
"W-what are you planning to go…" Qian Cheng appeared very frightening. If it was genuine or faked, no one could be sure, but probably… more of the latter?
"Ohohohoho~~ Don"t you know what I want?" Gu Qingyu laughed like a madman.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough, I really don"t…"
"Ohohohoho~~ Really?"
"Cough, cough, cough, cough, really, please spare me…"
"Ohohohoho~~ Spare you?"
"Cough, cough, cough, cough, or not…"
"Ohohohoho~~ You said it yourself?"
"Cough, cough, cough, cough, what I meant was…"
"Boss!" At this time, Qi Wan approached them, stumbling like some mellow kid, "What are you doing out here and not staying in your room? Don"t you know that you have a fever-…uh, caught a cold? It looks like it"s even going to rain soon!"
"Cold?" Qian Cheng swiftly caught the word, then looked at Gu Qingyu, "Brother Zhu, did you catch a cold?"
"Yeah."Gu Qingyu crossed her arms, "You tell me how."
Qian Cheng felt quite ashamed of himself, "I"m so sorry, Brother Zhu. I"ll just be frank with you. I"m getting chased. Last night, I felt a murderous intent coming after me, so I had no choice but to flee in case I would drag you in this as well…"
"So please explain why you decided to let me fall down?" Gu Qingyu"s expression looked a little bit warmer.
