This was an unfamiliar number.
Gu Qili was deeply worried about Tang Tianyou’s injuries and didn’t intend to answer, but it kept ringing for a long ti, seriously affecting her attention as she climbed the tree.
Gu Qili answered the phone with a bad tone, almost grumpily saying "Hello".
After a pause on the other end, the voice said, "Miss Gu, hello, is Mr. Tang with you? I have so urgent matters to discuss with him, but I haven’t been able to get in touch with him all morning."
Gu Qili recognized the voice as Xiong Da’s, and she felt like she was redeed, speaking urgently: "Mr. Tang is injured, co quickly to save him."
After asking for the precise location, Xiong Da hung up the phone.
Gu Qili returned to the car, excitedly telling Tang Tianyou that she got through the phone call.
He was not unconscious but was in very poor condition, and he was about to fall asleep again. However, he woke up as soon as she spoke.
"Tianyou, you must not sleep. The TV shows say that if you fall asleep, you might never wake up again."
Not daring to move him carelessly, she picked up a foxtail and rubbed it around his nose and ears.
Tang Tianyou finally couldn’t stand this kind of "torture" anymore, speaking hoarsely and begging for rcy: "Xiao Qi, please stop, I promise I won’t fall asleep, really, look, my eyes are wider than a bull’s."
As he said that, he indeed widened his eyes.
Only then did Gu Qili let him be, but still stared at him without blinking, suddenly asking: "Tianyou, can I trust you?"
"Huh?" Tang Tianyou was utterly confused by her question.
"Most of the friends I’ve made have turned out to be liars in the end. Up to now, the only friend I can trust is Xiao Mi. But I feel like we’re also friends. So, can I trust you? In the end, you won’t betray , right?" Her eyes shone bright as snow, but they were lined with a thin layer of sadness. Those experiences had almost robbed her of the courage to trust others again, yet Tang Tianyou made her want to try once more.
He looked at her, his gaze suddenly becoming extrely serious. His lips were pale due to his severe weakness and injuries.
He said with so difficulty: "Tianyou will never do anything to let down Xiao Qi."
This ti Gu Qili was stunned for a mont. Seeing his earnest promise, she couldn’t help laughing: "Why are you like this, like you’re making a vow? It doesn’t need to be so formal."
But he still stubbornly said: "If Tianyou ever does sothing to let down Xiao Qi, then let suffer..."
"Tianyou." Gu Qili imdiately stopped him sharply, glaring at him furiously, "Are you sick? I already said there’s no need for a vow."
While speaking, her eyes suddenly moistened.
In reality, she wasn’t angry about the curse he was about to make, but rather because he was so injured right now that it was uncertain whether he could hold on until the ambulance arrived. Saying such things was indeed very inauspicious.
Tang Tianyou saw that she was truly upset and didn’t continue, but gave her a weak smile: "It’s okay, I’ve always been blessed with great fortune."
As it turned out, Tianyou indeed had great fortune. They didn’t wait long before Xiong Da and Xiong Er arrived with a doctor, much quicker than the ambulance.
Afterward, Tang Tianyou was sent to the hospital. The car didn’t have enough space for everyone, so she stayed behind to wait for the ambulance.
Late on, when Gu Qili called his phone, it was switched off.
She called Xiong Da’s number, and Xiong Da only said one thing, "Miss Gu, if you regard Mr. Tang as a friend, for his sake, it’s better not to see him anymore."
Gu Qili held the phone, suddenly coming to a delayed realization of many things.
If it wasn’t for her, Tang Tianyou wouldn’t have stayed in A City for so long. He had once said that to evade matchmaking, he wouldn’t stay here for more than a day each ti.
If it wasn’t for her, he wouldn’t have been driving to the remote Eastern City and gotten attacked.
If it wasn’t for her, he wouldn’t be lying in the hospital.
Gu Qili thought that Xiong Da was right, she really shouldn’t see him anymore. Tianyou’s concern for her had exceeded the limits of friendship. Continuing like this would be of no benefit to him, and even as a friend, it was ti to keep a distance.
Gu Qili stopped calling Tang Tianyou. She knew Xiong Da and Xiong Er would take good care of him.
She quietly dealt with her own injuries in the hospital and then continued to work.
Ten days later, she received a call from Xiong Da, who said that Tang Tianyou had been transferred to a hospital in Aus City to continue his treatnt.
Not long after hanging up the phone, Gu Qili received a notice from Teacher Shang. Her thesis was scheduled for a defense.
