Although Gu Qing was not injured, the doctor still instructed her to stay in the ward and rest. Gu Qing, who was too frightened, was happy to relax completely and lay on the bed obediently. However, she felt bored after lying on the bed until dusk. Because she still had a needle in her hand, she could only look at the clouds dyed red by the setting sun out of the window. Occasionally, one or two clouds with strange shapes like dragons and tigers floated by, which would stir up ripples in her heart.
Gu Qing had only been in City G for ten days, but he had experienced the most unbelievable series of events in his life. The wandering souls, the ferocious monsters, the horrible corpses…All of these seemed to have something to do with her, and Gu Qing's nerves became more and more tense…
Fortunately, there were still those two fellows who always risked their lives to save him and share the pressure for him. Even the big dog lying under the bed had the demeanor of a knight. Thinking of this, Gu Qing couldn't help but smile. Then, he sighed softly, and a trace of worry floated between his brows.
" Du...dudu..." Someone knocked on the door softly.
Was it a nurse who came to change the infusion bottle? Gu Qing sat up and asked to come in.
"Supervisor Gu!" What came in was actually a statement. "How is it? Do you feel better?" Chen Shi was carrying a bunch of nutritional supplements in big and small bags, and he was holding a large bouquet of flowers in his hands.
"Ah... Manager Chen, you've really put in a lot of effort. You're so busy with work, yet you still came to visit me.”Although Gu Qing was a little surprised by Chen Shi's visit, he was still quite happy that someone cared about him.
"Hehe…Chairman Pu ordered me to represent all the employees in the company to express condolences to Supervisor Gu who fainted at work!”Chen Shi carried the bouquet of flowers and walked back and forth in the ward a few times. He did not find anything that could be used to arrange flowers, and his forehead began to sweat.
"How can it be so exaggerated? I'm ready to go home for dinner." Gu Qing smiled." Put the flowers on the bedside table first. I'll bring them back later."”
Putting down the big bouquet in his hand, Chen Yu heaved a sigh of relief and habitually took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.
"I heard that…monsters came out again last night?”Gu Qing probed.
" You don't know this, but we really can't let anyone stay in the Tenglong Building anymore. It's fine that a few walls on the 22nd floor collapsed, but the kitchen and banquet hall on the top floor were completely destroyed. I'm sweating all over even if I stand on the top floor for a while longer. Where did this monster come from? How could it be like this…"
"Then…how did you end it?"
"What else can I do? I can't clean up the mess on the top floor, so I might as well make up an excuse to seal it. The managers on the 22nd floor still have to work, and Chairman Pu forced me to find a group of construction workers immediately. It's so late at night, and it's raining heavily. Where can I find them? I asked several construction sites, but the workers were unwilling to come out. Later, Chairman Pu became ruthless and offered 300 yuan per person. However, he got more than 40 workers at once. "I patched up the big hole in the building overnight and painted the wall again…" Chen Shu was still complaining about the hard work last night.
It seemed that Pu Yuan was still trying his best to prevent any news that was detrimental to the Soaring Dragon Building from leaking out. However, this piece of paper could not contain the fire in the end…Gu Qing was slightly worried and distracted.
"Oh right, I almost forgot about the important matter!" Chen Shi suddenly shouted, startling the distracted Gu Qing.
"What? What's wrong? What business?"
"Chairman Pu specially instructed me to pass a message to you. As long as your physical condition permits, it's best if you can return to the company as soon as possible. The plan will be officially implemented in three days, and you will be in charge. Chairman Pu didn't say what the specific plan was. He said that you would understand.”
Gu Qing finally understood that Pu Yuan's plan to acquire the shares was imminent. At this critical juncture, the Soaring Dragon Corporation had to carry out the underground acquisition in a very low-key manner. Once news that was unfavorable to Soaring Dragon broke out, it would let those stock managers with a sharp sense of smell like hyenas notice Soaring Dragon's unusual movements. If they could not acquire the shares with good assets in a very short period of time, Soaring Dragon would no longer be under Pu Yuan's control in the future.
Chen Shi sat for a while more before he got up and left. Seeing that the last bottle of medicine had been emptied, Gu Qing rang the bell and called the nurse to remove the needle. He was not going to stay in the ward anymore.
Gu Qing had already thought about it. He could send the bouquet of flowers and nutrition to Yuwen. He would take it as a gift. She rummaged through the pocket of the nutritional supplements and found a set of women's work clothes. This must have been arranged by Pu Yuan. Just now, Gu Qing was still worried that the clothes she wore to the hospital would be stained with blood. Would people be afraid to see her when she went out? Now, it seemed that her worry was unnecessary.
After changing her clothes, Gu Qing picked up the bouquet and nutritional supplements. Xuan Gang, who had been lying under the bed, followed her out of the door quietly. It was time for the doctors and nurses to change shifts and eat. There were very few people in the hospital. Fortunately, Xuan Gang walked around the hospital without causing a commotion.
Gu Qing walked to the door of Yuwen's single ward with ease. Just as she was about to look inside through the window on the door, a girl's scream came from behind her. Gu Qing turned around and saw a young nurse who was so frightened by the tall Xuangang that she leaned against the wall and was about to cry. She looked at the nurse carefully and felt that she looked familiar. Hehe…Wasn't this the nurse who bandaged Gu Qing's wound the night she was bitten by the black dillo?
Gu Qing quickly kicked Xuan Gang. Xuan Gang sensibly lay on the ground with his head drooping, and he didn't look so scary. The nurse then walked around Xuangang from the wall to Gu Qing and said to Gu Qing with a sad face,"Is this your dog? How could he bring her to the hospital? Quickly drag him out!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. This dog doesn't bite. It's okay, it's okay.”Gu Qing could only apologize profusely." I'll drag it out after seeing the patient."”
The nurse saw that Xuan Gang was lying on the ground obediently and finally became a little bolder. Only then did she notice that she had met Gu Qing before.
"You…Oh right, I remember now. Last time, you were bitten by a dog and came here to bandage it!”Thinking of this, the nurse moved further behind Gu Qing and away from Xuangang." You're here to see your boyfriend, right?"”
" Um…" Gu Qing answered vaguely.
The nurse looked around the room and said,"Your boyfriend's wound is recovering well, but his mental condition is not good.”
"What is it? Is he in a bad mental state?" Gu Qing raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Yeah…didn't you notice? He has nightmares all night now, and he often wakes up suddenly at night. When he really can't sleep, he sits up and asks us to borrow books to read. How pitiful…A handsome man has been made so haggard. Those dark circles under his eyes are so obvious!”
Gu Qing opened his mouth in shock. Did Yuwen also have nightmares all night? How come I never knew? When I saw him two days ago, I noticed that he was not in good spirits, but I thought it was because he was weak...
"Look, he's having nightmares again.”The young nurse pouted her lips at the window.
Gu Qing quickly moved his head over to take a look. Yuwen Zheng was lying on the bed with a magazine on the floor. Perhaps he was too tired and fell asleep while reading, but his face was in extreme pain. His eyes were moving rapidly under his closed eyelids. There was a layer of fine sweat on his forehead, and his hands were tightly clutching the bedsheet. It looked like Yuwen would scream and sit up at any moment.
Gu Qing anxiously wanted to push the door open and go in, but the nurse said from behind her,"Don't disturb him suddenly. It will cause an overreaction in his body!”
"Then…what should we do now?”Gu Qing grabbed the nurse's arm.
"Now we can only wait for him to wake up…He will wake up…Is there something in his heart that he can't resolve?”the nurse said softly.
As the nurse spoke, she looked at Gu Qing suspiciously. Gu Qing knew what she meant. She must be suspecting that Yuwen had some kind of relationship with her.
Gu Qing let go of the nurse awkwardly and said,""Let me go in first. I promise I won't alarm him.”
The nurse nodded and pushed open the door for Gu Qing.
Gu Qing and Xuan Gang quietly walked into the ward. Yuwen, who was lying on the bed, seemed to be experiencing an extremely terrible scene in his dream. His body began to spasm.
Gu Qing stood beside Yuwen, worried, but he didn't dare to touch him... What kind of nightmare could make this man, who wasn't afraid at the bloody scene of the dismembered body, so scared...
Suddenly, Gu Qing felt something strange beside her. She turned to look and saw that Xuan Gang's body was emitting a blue light again. His body was gradually becoming translucent.
Xuan Gang lowered his head and his sharp teeth made a piercing sound. The dim light gathered and formed, gradually turning into a ferocious wolf with fangs and claws. The wolf's virtual form was twice as big as Xuan Gang's real body! In an instant, the wolf roared and pounced on Yuwen's bed. Its fierce appearance scared Gu Qing so much that his legs went weak. The blue wolf-shaped phantom penetrated Yuwen's body and actually tore out a mass of black miasma from Yuwen's body. The phantom did not slow down and dragged the mass of miasma through the wall with its huge wolf mouth. In an instant, it disappeared.
This scene was exactly the same as what Gu Qing and Liu Tianming saw when they sneaked into Du Tingtao's office.
Gu Qing was stunned. When she came back to her senses and looked at Yuwen on the bed, Yuwen had calmed down like Du Tingtao. The muscles on his face slowly relaxed, his body no longer spasmed, and his breathing gradually became stable.
Could it be... The smart Gu Qing had already guessed something, but he was not sure. If only he could ask Yuwen, but seeing the tired Yuwen sleeping so soundly, Gu Qing could not bear to wake him up.
That's right! There was a place that might have the answer! Gu Qing looked down at Xuan Gang and decided to go home immediately.
It was really difficult to stop the TAXI with the big dog Xuan Gang. The drivers were not willing to let the dog get into their car. Gu Qing wanted to leave Xuan Gang in Yuwen's ward, but Xuan Gang did not leave Gu Qing. Gu Qing had no choice but to walk back to the Tenglong Building and find his laptop in his office that was smashed by the chisel. With no one to accompany her, she did not dare to stay in the building for long. She ran out of the Tenglong Building and picked up her white Santana in the nearby parking lot.
It was already nine o'clock in the evening when Gu Qing returned to the dormitory. He ignored his growling stomach and turned on his laptop as soon as he entered the house.
Plugging it into the internet, Gu Qing clicked on the Beast Soul Chart in his browser's Favorites. This time, she solemnly filled in two words in the empty column of the inquiry-Xuangang.
The page quickly popped up. The lifelike ink painting outlined a giant wolf standing proudly on the top of a mountain, howling at the moon.
Under the ink brush was a line of explanation in traditional official script.
"The seventh star of the Big Dipper is called Tianchong, also known as Greedy Wolf, and also known as Shaking Light.”
Under the official script, another line was taken, and there was a small regular script to add notes.
"He once followed me to the east of Fusang and accidentally injured the Tapir that specialized in eating nightmares. It was too late to regret it. He was punished for replacing the good virtue of the Tapir for a lifetime. Every time he saw a nightmare, he would destroy it.”
Further down, there was actually a line of words-" Poor Yuwen Shuxue has been haunted by nightmares since he was young. He could have died easily. Fortunately, he accidentally injured the Tapir Beast with Xuangang and obtained the ability to catch dreams. It's a disaster, but it's a blessing."”
Gu Qing stared blankly at those words. After a while, he muttered,"Why are you doing this…"
Ever since he was admitted to the hospital, this was the first time Yuwen slept so soundly. He only woke up slowly when the sun was high in the sky. He stretched his body and realized that there was someone lying beside his legs.
Yuwen was shocked. He rubbed his eyes and looked carefully. He saw the person sitting on the square stool by the bed, face down, and his hands were tightly holding Yuwen's calf. Yuwen sniffled. Although he couldn't see his face, his messy hair that was scattered on the edge of the bed emitted Gu Qing's unique fragrance.
Yuwen tried to shake his leg. It didn't hurt much today. It seemed that he had recovered well. As he moved, Gu Qing, who was lying on Yuwen's leg, also raised her head. She looked at Yuwen with sleepy eyes and fell down again.
"What are you doing? Why are you dozing off here?" Yuwen asked carefully.
" Quiet…" Gu Qing was still lying on the ground.
Yuwen crossed his arms and thought for a while, then bent down and whispered into Gu Qing's ear,""I'm late for work…"
"Ah!" Gu Qing stood up immediately! She began to frantically search for her phone, wanting to know what time it was. After a while, she suddenly stopped what she was doing and glared at Yuwen."I'm the administrative director now. I have the final say on whether I'm late or not!”
Yuwen laughed out loud, but his spirit was much more cheerful than yesterday.
Gu Qing took off a hairband from her wrist and tied her long hair into a high ponytail. Her pretty face suddenly looked a little mischievous. She reached out and grabbed a set of toiletries from the cabinet beside Yuwen's bed, ready to go out and wash her face.
Seeing that Gu Qing had even brought toiletries, Yuwen couldn't help but ask,""What's wrong? Are you going to be hospitalized for a long time?"
Gu Qing raised his eyebrows and pointed at the ground."That's right! From today onwards, I will live here!"
"What? This…"
"Who told you not to tell the truth! Xuangang had to work a little harder at night, so he could capture one more nightmare.”
Yuwen Yi was stunned. He didn't know how much Gu Qing knew. Xuan Gang leaned against the corner of the wall and stuck out his long tongue with a smile.
Gu Qing squatted down and patted Xuan Gang's head. He said to Yuwen faintly,""I didn't expect Xuangang to be so greedy…"
"You peeked at the Beast Soul Atlas again! Isn't it? Why are you so curious?”Yuwen began to regret letting Gu Qing know about the existence of the Beast Soul Atlas.
" If I don't look... how would I know that you're doing this for my own good..." Gu Qing's voice suddenly became gentle, which startled Yuwen. "Alright! It's not inconvenient for me to stay here. I told the hospital last night to add a bed in this ward today. I'll take care of you here so that you can recover faster.”
Yuwen wanted to raise his hand to object, but he couldn't think of a reason to object. He could only watch Gu Qing go out to wash his face. Xuan Gang slowly walked to Yuwen's side and licked his arm. Yuwen sighed and lowered his head to say,""Old friend, can you keep a low profile next time? Don't do everything in front of Gu Qing. You really don't treat her as an outsider?”
Xuan Gang yawned disapprovingly and turned away.
Gu Qing finished dressing up and went back to the ward to make instant noodles for Yuwen. Yuwen asked in surprise,"Aren't you going to work today?"
"Just thinking about the Teng Long Building gives me a headache. Can't I just skip work for half a day?”
" Sure, of course. You're the leader..." Yuwen smiled.
"By the way, why do you often have nightmares? What did you dream about?" Gu Qing was curious.
Yuwen's face darkened and he said in a deep voice,""I don't know why it's like this. I didn't dream of anything. It's all a mess.”
"What could make a guide of the netherworld, who specializes in dealing with ghosts, afraid?”Gu Qing still didn't give up.
" I don't remember when I woke up..." Yuwen didn't want to continue this topic, so he turned his eyes to the window.
"Isn't it better to say what you've been keeping in your heart? Haven't you heard of the story of the king having donkey ears…"
"Don't ask everything! Alright?" Yuwen suddenly interrupted Gu Qing rudely. His serious eyes scared Gu Qing so much that he swallowed the question mark in his mouth.
The atmosphere in the ward froze for a moment.
Gu Qing served the noodles to Yuwen and sat silently at the side. Yuwen looked at the steaming noodles and felt that he had spoken too harshly. He said to Gu Qing apologetically,"I'm sorry…"
Gu Qing lowered his head and whispered,"When can you stop hiding anything from me?"”
Yuwen stared at Gu Qing's sharp chin and said slowly,""When everything is over…"
