Gu Jiao's heart ached faintly, unable to distinguish whether it was her own feeling or Gu Yan's pain. She was a person lacking emotional perception, and many of her experiences in this world came from Gu Yan.

She didn't know if all fraternal twins were like this.

If she and Gu Yan were likened to a tree, then her branch had already hardened into iron. It was Gu Yan who conveyed his feelings to her, making her deeply feel that she was still alive, living together with Gu Yan under the sunlight.

Perhaps this analogy wasn't entirely accurate, but she knew that she and Gu Yan were inseparable, having the deepest bond in the world.

Gu Jiao held Gu Yan tightly, one hand covering his burning forehead, "You're not going anywhere. I'm keeping you here."

Gu Yan fell into a deep sleep in Gu Jiao's arms.

Unlike the time when he was rescued at the Hot Spring Villa, this time his condition had indeed worsened to a certain extent.

Gu Yan needed surgery.

However, this wasn't a routine surgery where anesthesia, incision, lesion removal, and suturing would suffice. Gu Yan's surgery required extracorporeal circulation.

She didn't have the equipment for extracorporeal circulation, nor did she have the other drugs and instruments needed for the surgery.

Although the little medicine chest could continuously provide drugs and medical supplies from the research institute, they were all small items that wouldn't exceed the size of the medicine chest.

Moreover, considering Gu Yan's current condition, what was needed wasn't just a set of extracorporeal circulation equipment but rather a complete advanced operating room.

Gu Jiao looked down at Gu Yan who was sleeping in her arms. He was too weak; even the little tuft of hair on his head couldn't stand up, drooping limply.

Gu Jiao grasped Gu Yan's weak hand and once again said firmly, "You're not going anywhere. I won't let you go."

I haven't done enough yet as your sister.

No one can take you away from me, not even the King of Hell.

……

Performing surgery on Gu Yan seemed impossible at the moment. Gu Jiao lacked equipment and an operating room, but she didn't want to give up.

After holding Gu Yan for a while and ensuring that he wouldn't wake up for the time being, Gu Jiao gently placed him back on the bed and covered him with a quilt.

She walked out of the east room and called Gu Xiaoshun, who was anxiously waiting in the main room, "Xiaoshun, come here."

"Big sis!" Gu Xiaoshun turned around and walked toward Gu Jiao, "How is Gu Yan?"

"He's temporarily stabilized." Gu Jiao said.

Although there wasn't much emotional fluctuation on Gu Jiao's face, Gu Xiaoshun still felt the chill emanating from her.

Gu Xiaoshun felt heartbroken for Gu Jiao. He was a child who wasn't cherished by his parents and only his big sister treated him well.

"Big sis." His throat choked at the thought of Gu Jiao's distress over Gu Yan.

Gu Jiao looked at him and asked, "I have something to ask you."

Upon hearing that it was something serious, Gu Xiaoshun quickly wiped away his tears and composed himself, saying, "Big sis, go ahead and ask!"

Gu Jiao questioned, "Did Gu Yan exhibit any strange behavior before his heart condition acted up?"

"Strange behavior?" Gu Xiaoshun scratched his head at a loss.

Gu Jiao thought for a moment before saying, "For example, having contact with certain people or eating certain things?"

Gu Yan had been taking medication, and his heart condition was well controlled. While there was still a difference compared to a normal person, it shouldn't have suddenly acted up like this.

Gu Xiaoshun knew about Gu Yan's heart condition and always took good care of him at the academy, paying close attention to him.

He carefully recalled, "We went to the academy together, attended classes together, studied together... When class ended, he went to the outhouse, and when he came back... he seemed a bit tired. He often complains of being tired, but it's not really tiredness; he just doesn't want to attend classes and prefers to doze off at his desk. I thought he was doing the same today, but who would have thought... he suddenly collapsed while lying down."

Gu Jiao furrowed her brow.

"Ah!"

Gu Xiaoshun suddenly remembered something. "I remembered! When Gu Yan came back from the outhouse, he said, 'To have encountered someone blind, what bad luck!' I asked him what happened, and he said nothing. Then he patted his clothes clean as if he had fallen. But since he seemed fine, I didn't ask further."

"Someone blind?" Gu Jiao called Dark Guards A and B over. "Did you follow Gu Yan today? Do you know if he fell in the outhouse?"

Both people shook their heads.

They did follow Gu Yan, but they didn't follow him into the outhouse.

Dark Guard A said, "We were guarding outside the courtyard where the outhouse is. If anyone wanted to harm the young master, we would have sensed the killing intent."

Gu Jiao pondered, "So you mean... Gu Yan was accidentally knocked down? The person didn't intend to harm or kill Gu Yan? But why would falling down trigger his condition? His body isn't that frail..."

Gu Jiao felt that something was off. She returned to the room, pulled back the quilt, and opened Gu Yan's clothes.

The bruises weren't very noticeable when she was treating Gu Yan earlier, but now they were visible. Gu Jiao saw a palm print on Gu Yan's chest.

"He was struck by someone!"

"We didn't sense any killing intent." Dark Guard A looked at the palm print on Gu Yan's body with surprise.

Dark Guard B nodded.

To be honest, Gu Yan was almost like a little overlord in the academy now. Even Gu Chenglin dared not provoke him. After all, just a scream from Gu Yan and they would immediately appear.

In a situation where they couldn't hear Gu Yan's call, then it must be that an expert had arrived. But when an expert took action, their killing intent was too strong to escape their perception.

So there was only one possibility: the person didn't come to harm Gu Yan specifically. Most likely, they accidentally bumped into him and then casually struck him.

"Big sis, Lady Nan is here!"

Outside the east room, Gu Xiaoshun interrupted Gu Jiao's thoughts.

Today, Gu Xiaoshun and Gu Yan were supposed to go to Master Lu's house for their craftsmanship class. Normally, if they couldn’t go, the dark guards would still come to report, but today no one showed up. Lady Nan was worried that something had happened, so she hurried to Bishui Alley to check.

Master Lu also came with her.

"Master Lu, Lady Nan." Gu Jiao greeted the two in the main room.

Lady Nan sensed something unusual as soon as she entered the courtyard. She glanced at Gu Xiaoshun, who was secretly wiping away some tears, and asked Gu Jiao, "What's going on? Why is Xiaoshun crying? And where's Yan'er?"

"Something happened; his heart condition acted up."

"Is it serious?"

"It's somewhat serious."

"Let me see him quickly!"

Gu Jiao led Lady Nan and Master Lu into the east room.

They were aware of Gu Yan's heart condition, but since they had been together for so long and Gu Yan rarely showed any signs of illness, they had begun to see him as a normal child.

Now, seeing Gu Yan lying pale and weak on the bed, his condition so severe that he could pass away at any moment, they were deeply saddened.

Master Lu exclaimed, "How did this happen all of a sudden? He was fine yesterday."

"He was struck by someone." Gu Jiao said.

"Who!" Murderous intent flashed within Lady Nan's eyes.

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:

Description:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succumb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"

Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"

Shi Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon me, alri—”

Shi Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
