Transmigration La Consort du Dieu de la Guerre

Chapitre 15

Gao Xiaoyuan turned over, blinked slightly, and slowly opened her eyes.

The sun was shining brightly outside the window, and a scent of flowers drifted in through the half-open window.

Gao Xiaoyuan stretched, sat up, patted her head, and looked out the window. In that instant, the image of the corpse hanging outside the window suddenly flashed through her mind again.

"Wang Qin!" Gao Xiaoyuan exclaimed in surprise, trying hard to recall what had happened that morning.

A glass bottle, candy with the word "death" written on it, Wang Qin's body, and the star-shaped candy she spat out...

Gao Xiaoyuan suddenly remembered everything, but she couldn't recall how she got home or who took her home. In her memory, it seemed that someone caught her the moment she fainted. Who could that person be?

Gao Xiaoyuan got out of bed, put on her slippers, and slowly walked to the bedroom door, opening it.

The sound of chopping vegetables came from the kitchen.

Gao Xiaoyuan was taken aback. Had her parents returned from their business trip? Weren't they supposed to be back in a few more days? Had their teachers called them? Thinking of this, Gao Xiaoyuan felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She tiptoed toward the kitchen, but when she reached the kitchen door, she saw only one person chopping vegetables, and it wasn't her parents.

Xu An!

Gao Xiaoyuan was surprised. She hadn't expected Xu An to be here, much less to cook for her. For some reason, Gao Xiaoyuan felt a strange sense of emotion. She stood blankly by the door, craning her neck to watch Xu An's back.

He was very tall and thin, but his physique was so strong that Gao Xiaoyuan suddenly had an urge to rush over and lean against his solid back, even if it was just for a moment.

"Why are you peeking at me?" Xu An continued chopping vegetables, but suddenly blurted out a question.

Gao Xiaoyuan blushed and quickly turned away to look elsewhere: "I...I thought my mom and dad had come back."

"Are you disappointed to see me?" Xu An didn't turn around and continued chopping vegetables.

"No, no, I just... I just..." Gao Xiaoyuan didn't know what to say for a moment.

Xu An put down the kitchen knife, picked up the cup beside him, walked over to Gao Xiaoyuan, handed the cup to her, and said, "Drink this."

"What is this?" Gao Xiaoyuan asked, looking at the yellow liquid in the cup.

"Medicine." Xu An's cold face revealed no emotion.

Upon hearing that it was medicine, Gao Xiaoyuan quickly took a few steps back and then waved her hands frantically, saying, "I won't take it! I'm fine, I was just a little dizzy, it's okay! It's okay!"

"You have to take the medicine." Xu An seemed determined not to let Gao Xiaoyuan off the hook.

Terrified, Gao Xiaoyuan could only lie on the sofa, covering her mouth with her hands and crying out, "I won't eat! I won't eat!"

Xu An seemed somewhat helpless. He strode up to Gao Xiaoyuan, suddenly pulled her hand away, lifted her chin with his left hand, and poured the medicine into Gao Xiaoyuan's mouth with his right hand as quickly as possible.

"Cough—cough—" Gao Xiaoyuan almost choked to death, spitting out a small portion of the medicine she had poured into her mouth: "Are you trying to kill me! How could you do this!"

Xu An remained silent, tore a few napkins from the coffee table, and squatted down to wipe away the medicine that Gao Xiaoyuan had vomited up.

Gao Xiaoyuan quietly looked at Xu An. Xu An was different today, especially indifferent to her. Gao Xiaoyuan guessed that he must have something on his mind.

"I'm sorry." Gao Xiaoyuan lowered her head, not daring to look at Xu An.

Xu An didn't say anything, got up and went into the kitchen.

Gao Xiaoyuan slowly raised her head and looked towards the kitchen.

Xu An came out carrying a bowl of porridge, placed it on the table, and turned to look at Gao Xiaoyuan.

"Have something to eat."

Gao Xiaoyuan wanted to say thank you, but she didn't say anything. She just obediently walked to the dining table and sat down.

Xu An sat down opposite Gao Xiaoyuan, picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful of porridge, tasted it, and then said softly, "It's ready to eat." After saying that, he handed the spoon to Gao Xiaoyuan.

Touched, Gao Xiaoyuan reached out and took the spoon, then lowered her head and silently ate the porridge in her bowl.

Xu An sat quietly opposite Gao Xiaoyuan, casually flipping through a magazine.

Gao Xiaoyuan secretly glanced at Xu An; his cold and handsome face looked so stylish.

"Is your... injury healed?" Gao Xiaoyuan asked softly.

"Okay." Xu An continued looking at the magazine.

"Where do you usually live?" Gao Xiaoyuan continued to ask, very cautiously.

"My adoptive parents' home."

"Those words in my diary..."

"Xiaoyuan!" Xu An suddenly interrupted Gao Xiaoyuan, looked at her directly, and said, "I saved you, but I don't want you to misunderstand."

Gao Xiaoyuan stared blankly at Xu An.

"I...we..." Xu An wanted to say something.

"You don't need to say anything," Gao Xiaoyuan forced a smile. "I understand, we're students. Don't misunderstand, I'm fine." Gao Xiaoyuan tried her best to hide her sadness, lowering her head and quickly drinking the porridge. "This porridge is really delicious."

“Xiaoyuan…” Xu An looked at Gao Xiaoyuan with concern.

"I'm fine. Oh, I need to use the restroom first." Gao Xiaoyuan said as she stood up and quickly ran towards the restroom. After closing the restroom door, Gao Xiaoyuan couldn't help but shed tears, and her body slid down the door panel to sit on the floor.

Xu An looked at the bathroom door, a hint of worry appearing on his usually stern face.

Inside the restroom, Gao Xiaoyuan buried her head between her knees.

"Xiaoyuan." Xu An's worried voice came from outside the door.

Gao Xiaoyuan quickly wiped away her tears, forcing a smile: "I'll be done soon."

"Xiaoyuan, what I just said..."

“You didn’t say anything just now, we were just chatting,” Gao Xiaoyuan quickly said.

Outside the door, Xu An leaned against the door, head down, looking at the ground with melancholy: "I...don't want to hurt you."

"You didn't hurt me." Gao Xiaoyuan's tears fell again, but she tried her best to hold them back.

“Xiaoyuan… what I did was very dangerous. I don’t want to hurt you. Please don’t get involved in anything related to Class 0 of Grade 1 anymore.”

"Was it because you were afraid something would happen to me that you deliberately treated me like that and said those things?" Gao Xiaoyuan raised her head slightly.

Outside the door, Xu An nodded slightly: "I don't want you to get hurt."

Gao Xiaoyuan stood up, pressed herself against the door, and asked softly, "What if it's something I want to do?"

Xu An remained silent.

Inside the bathroom, Gao Xiaoyuan waited for Xu An's reply, but all was quiet outside. Gao Xiaoyuan opened the bathroom door: "Xu An..." Gao Xiaoyuan froze, because Xu An was no longer there.

He left, he left so silently again.

Gao Xiaoyuan shed a single, glistening tear.

Six is not me

When Gao Xiaoyuan picked up her schoolbag, she glanced at the porridge that was still unfinished on the table.

The porridge was delicious, but she couldn't bear to drink it because she was afraid that Xu An would never appear again and would never do these things for her again.

Gao Xiaoyuan covered the bowl with plastic wrap, carefully put the bowl in the refrigerator, then picked up her schoolbag again and pushed the door open to go out, but she stopped the moment she pushed the door open.

Chen Shuai, with his hands in his pockets and leaning against the door, immediately turned around and touched Gao Xiaoyuan's forehead as soon as he saw her come out. "No fever, that's great." Before Gao Xiaoyuan could react, Chen Shuai pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly. "I heard you were sick this morning and I was so worried. I wanted to come see you as soon as possible, but Teacher Duan said that my mother asked him to keep an eye on me and not let me skip class, so I could only sneak out to see you at noon."

Gao Xiaoyuan opened her mouth, but said nothing.

Chen Shuai released Gao Xiaoyuan and looked at her. "Haven't eaten yet? I'll take you to get something good to eat. As for class..." Chen Shuai snatched the backpack from Gao Xiaoyuan's back, threw it into the room, and then quickly pulled Gao Xiaoyuan out of the room, slamming the door shut at the same time: "Let's skip class. We're already out here, so let's have some fun."

"How...how could you do this..."

Before Gao Xiaoyuan could finish speaking, Chen Shuai had already pulled her forward.

"Hey, wait a minute, hey, I haven't finished speaking yet!" Gao Xiaoyuan was pulled along as she walked, calling out.

"I know you miss me, but once we get there, you can say whatever you want." Chen Shuai walked forward without paying any attention.

Gao Xiaoyuan had no choice but to follow Chen Shuai forward, but she suddenly stumbled and almost fell. Fortunately, Chen Shuai caught her in time.

"How come you can't even tie your shoelaces?"

Upon hearing Chen Shuai's words, Gao Xiaoyuan quickly looked at her sneakers and realized that she had forgotten to tie her shoelaces.

Chen Shuai suddenly squatted down and carefully tied Gao Xiaoyuan's shoelaces.

Gao Xiaoyuan froze, staring blankly at Chen Shuai. She never expected Chen Shuai to do this. Why would he do this? She liked Xu An, but Xu An was cold and indifferent to her. She didn't like Chen Shuai, but Chen Shuai always appeared when she needed him most.

"Aren't you very grateful to me? How about you repay me with your body?" Chen Shuai suddenly raised his head and smiled mischievously.

Gao Xiaoyuan was so angry she couldn't speak. She glared at Chen Shuai and turned to stride forward.

Chen Shuai stood up and looked at Gao Xiaoyuan's back, a smile appearing on his face: "What an adorable girl, the more I look at her, the cuter she becomes!" After saying that, Chen Shuai quickly chased after her.

In a corner next to the house, Xu An emerged from the shadows, watching the two figures disappear into the distance, his face filled with disappointment.

Gao Xiaoyuan suddenly stopped as she passed the swing in the garden.

The swing swayed back and forth in the air, as if someone had once sat on it.

Gao Xiaoyuan raised her head and looked around.

"Yellow Hair, what are you looking at?" Chen Shuai asked after looking around with Gao Xiaoyuan.

"Yellow Hair?" Gao Xiaoyuan was stunned, staring blankly at Chen Shuai.

"People always say 'yellow-haired girl,' so if you're a girl, then you're just a yellow-haired one, right?" Chen Shuai grinned mischievously.

Gao Xiaoyuan glared at Chen Shuai again, about to explode, when she inadvertently glanced at the tree on the west side of the garden, where someone was standing. Gao Xiaoyuan quickly looked over and saw Lin Nana, wearing a light green dress, waving at her.

"Na..." Gao Xiaoyuan was about to call out when she saw Lin Nana turn around and disappear behind the building next to her.

"Hey Huang Mao, what's your name?" Chen Shuai followed Gao Xiaoyuan's gaze but saw nothing.

Gao Xiaoyuan suddenly clutched her stomach, squatted down, and cried out, "My stomach hurts!"

Chen Shuai was taken aback, then quickly squatted down and asked with concern, "Why do you suddenly have a stomachache? I'll take you to the hospital!" As he spoke, Chen Shuai pulled Gao Xiaoyuan along, preparing to carry her on his back.

Gao Xiaoyuan broke free from Chen Shuai's hand and exclaimed, "I just have a stomachache. I have medicine at home, can you just go and get it for me?" After saying this, Gao Xiaoyuan shoved her house key into Chen Shuai's hand.

Chen Shuai glanced at Gao Xiaoyuan and said, "Okay, then you wait for me here, I'll be right there."

"Okay, you should go now!"

Seeing Chen Shuai walk towards her front door, Gao Xiaoyuan immediately stood up and ran in the direction Lin Nana had disappeared.
