Chapter 411: Give Him a Surprise
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Guys, stop blaming Qianxun. The backpack contains a birthday gift she handmade for Sir Jue,” Gu Mian explained.
The other people went silent. For some reason, Ye Gu felt as though his heart was being stabbed by a knife. He cut a lonely figure as he lowered his gaze, turned and left quietly.
“You made it by yourself? That’s great! Jue would definitely be super happy!” Tang Zui’s eyes brightened.
Gu Mian stared at the man who was smiling brightly even though he was in a fl.u.s.tered state. Her gaze fell on his hand, which was still bleeding.
Gu Mian felt so upset that there was a sense of suffocation in her chest, and she clenched her tiny hands together.
“Are your hands okay?” Si Mancheng helped Tang Zui get back on his feet and asked a little worriedly.
“I have no idea. They’re totally numb.” Tang Zui said flatly.
Gu Mian’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that. Su Qianxun was worried too. She said, “You should go to the hospital to get it checked first.”
“Did anyone else get hurt? Where’re the s.n.a.t.c.h thieves?”
“Stop worrying about other people, you’re the most seriously injured one among us. Let’s leave this place first.” Si Mancheng told everyone to walk ahead of him so that he could watch over all of them.
They exited the abandoned building. Long Sijue had left a while back, and Su Qianxun tightened her grip on her backpack a little gloomily.
“Chick, why didn’t you tell Jue that his birthday present is inside your backpack?” Tang Zui felt a little dizzy.
“I… I was thinking of giving him a surprise tomorrow,” Su Qianxun said meekly. She would not be able to pull off the surprise if she were to tell Long Sijue about the birthday gift beforehand.
Tang Zui was rendered speechless.
“Go ahead and get your hands checked at the hospital first. They seem pretty badly injured,” Su Qianxun said worriedly.
“My hands will be fine. The most important thing that you need to do right now is to console your stubborn boyfriend who is actually super emotional on the inside! I’m afraid that other people will have to bear the brunt of his anger if you don’t show up.”
Tang Zui felt that Su Qianxun had done the right thing today, as Long Sijue would definitely be very surprised when he received the present tomorrow. He could imagine how delighted Long Sijue would be.
“Do accompany Tang Zui to the hospital first, then.”
Su Qianxun went to look for Long Sijue together with Ye Gu.
Gu Mian, Tang Zui and Si Mancheng were about to leave when Si Mancheng’s cell phone suddenly started ringing. He answered the call and hung up after half a minute.
“I have an urgent matter to attend to. Miss Gu, sorry, but you’ll have to accompany Tang Zui to the hospital by yourself.” Si Mancheng looked at Gu Mian, whose presence could barely be felt at the moment.
Gu Mian nodded. She felt that it was her duty to accompany Tang Zui to the hospital anyway as he had gotten injured because of her.
After Si Mancheng left, a bodyguard opened the car door. Tang Zui glanced at Gu Mian and entered the car first. Gu Mian wanted to sit in the front pa.s.senger seat, but the moment she started walking, Tang Zui dragged her into the backseat.
Gu Mian’s entire body was stiff as she sat beside Tang Zui. Even her wrist, which Tang Zui had held just now, felt like it was burning. However, she suddenly remembered something. She turned and grabbed Tang Zui’s hand.
As expected, it was still bleeding.
She looked for a towel in the car and compressed his wound, trying her best to reduce the bleeding.
Gu Mian felt so anxious that she was almost suffocating. Every single time she was in his company, she had gooseb.u.mps all over her body.
Tang Zui, though, did not look like he was affected by his injury at all. He did not care about the fact that he was bleeding either. He leaned languidly against the backrest of his seat and glanced at Gu Mian every now and then.
Gu Mian’s cell phone suddenly started ringing, and because of the silent atmosphere in the car, it sounded extremely jarring. Gu Mian felt an acute sense of suffocation in her chest. She immediately whipped out her cell phone and answered the call. She lowered her voice as much as possible, “h.e.l.lo?”
“Mian Mian, it’s me. I’m at the entrance of your campus. Let’s have dinner together.” Tang Ming smiled as he gazed at the bouquet of roses in the front pa.s.senger seat.
