Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

Where had Gu Xu ever seen him like this?

At this moment, what Gu Xu saw was not the ferocious-looking Gu Dashi, but another person.

He didn't know this man's name or identity, nor did he know what his purpose was in getting him to this point.

At this moment, he threw aside all those strategies and all the ideas and guesses in his mind. He just wanted to kiss this person who was crying unconsciously.

The lips simply and warmly pressed against each other, without any unnecessary movements.

The burning smell in my nostrils is familiar yet strange.

…I’m so crazy.

Gu Xu thought.

It didn't last long. Gu Xu loosened his grip on his clothes and pushed Gu Yue back to his original position.

The tears were dried by the heat on her cheeks, and Gu Yue stopped crying long ago.

"...Xiao Xu..." he said hesitantly.

"I'll help you wake up. Is that helpful?" Gu Xu lowered his head to hide the burning tips of his ears, took out a handkerchief and threw it to Gu Yue.

"It works." Gu Yue stammered. He wiped away the remaining tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief and licked his lips while covering his eyes.

Hallucination?

impossible!

Gu Xu kissed him!

Still in shock, Gu Yue didn't realize that his anxiety and sadness had all dissipated, leaving only his senses that had not yet cooled down and his surprising calmness, as well as a little bit...

A little bit of happiness. A little bit.

"...Why did you kiss me?" Gu Yue still asked.

As soon as he asked, he remembered that Gu Xu seemed to have explained it just now.

"Didn't I tell you? You were crying like that, I asked you to calm down." Gu Xu looked away and said nonsense: "I read a medical book before, which said that when a person is emotional, you can block his mouth, which is very effective."

He himself didn't have the answer, so how could he explain it to Gu Yue?

"Oh..." Gu Yue looked at Gu Xu and didn't notice anything unusual.

He just...believed it.

What else could he do? Interrogate him, pull up his clothes and force him to tell what he meant?

He couldn't bring himself to do that. He was afraid of being too self-indulgent, and even more afraid of making rash decisions at a time full of misunderstandings and mysteries.

"So you had a chat with Ying Jian. What do you think?" Gu Yue asked, "Which family is he from?"

Is this revealed?!

Gu Xu felt a little angry.

Intellectually, he didn't want Gu Yue to continue asking questions. He couldn't figure out the real intention of his actions, and he knew that now was not a good time to get emotional. But Gu Yue just changed the subject so lightly, and he still felt very dissatisfied.

This person is still as smart as ever, and even their ideas coincide with each other.

Gu Xu thought, couldn't this guy be stupid once in a while?

"He didn't say." Gu Xu closed his eyes and suppressed the emotions in his chest. "He just told me to stay away from you. You are King Yin's man."

"Nonsense!" Gu Yue exploded immediately, "How can he slander someone's innocence out of thin air!"

"Then explain it to me." Gu Xu felt upset.

"How can I explain? This is a shady thing, how can I explain it?" Gu Yue wanted to say that he had no way to defend himself, but he was not stupid and knew how to sort out the logic: "Why is he so sure that I am the King of Yin's man?"

If it was just a casual slander, there is really no way to explain it.

"What he meant was that King Yin said it himself." Gu Xu carefully observed his expression. It didn't seem like he was faking it, so he quickly put aside the discomfort.

"It's not a random excuse... Then I think there's an explanation for why this guy is so persistent in following us." Gu Yue analyzed, "He wants you to leave me and go back with him."

"That wasn't mentioned." Gu Xu added.

Gu Yue was surprised, he thought Ying Jian was going to take Gu Xu away soon.

"If that's the case, it means that the whole matter is not that urgent. King Yin should not have asked them to make a decision right away." Gu Yue guessed blindly, "Come to think of it, it's ridiculous for a child like you to decide who the whole family stands behind. No matter how important you are, can you be more important than the lives of their entire family?"

Gu Yue originally thought that the King of Yin was trying to win Gu Xu's favor so that he could have a say in the family. But now that he thought about it, Gu Xu was the male protagonist and the future regent to him, but to these other characters who didn't know the truth, Gu Xu was just a little kid who hadn't even reached adulthood.

And he acted so... childish at the time.

“Not entirely. If I go home in the future, and my adoptive father is on good terms with King Yin, I will also have the reputation of being rescued by him. Then even if they don’t want to, they will be forced to kidnap King Yin in public.” Gu Xu said.

“…That’s right, I didn’t think of this.” Gu Yue tapped his head.

It’s such a headache. He is really not good at political intrigue.

"This matter should be viewed separately." Gu Yue suddenly said again.

"How do we look at them separately?" Gu Xu asked.

"First of all, King Yin is a noble prince, so it would be a great pleasure for ordinary officials to stand with him. If they use the excuse of saving their own children, they will naturally agree. Why would they need to be so reluctant?" Gu Yue said, "If he is a high-ranking official, it would be a good thing to be able to make friends with him."

"But there is a prerequisite for this friendship, that is, King Yin is just an idle prince, and he has no intention of doing anything big." Gu Yue looked at Gu Xu, "In other words, your family must know that King Yin's goal is to usurp the throne, so they are so cautious, testing and alienating each other..."

"Let's not talk about how they knew." Gu Xu smiled, "Dad, from your confident tone, it seems that you knew King Yin's purpose from the beginning?"

"..." Gu Yue's mind was working very fast at this moment. He quickly explained along the lines of his previous thoughts: "I deduced this. If he didn't want to usurp the throne, then it would be a piece of cake for officials to be on good terms with him. So, he must have been holding back a lot."

Gu Yue analyzed enthusiastically: "He is already a prince, what big thing can he hold back?"

"It makes sense." Gu Xu leaned against the carriage and nodded.

The male lead is so handsome!

A sentence popped up in Gu Yue’s mind.

Shaking off his strange thoughts, Gu Yue continued, "So, your family must be quite powerful, to the point where both the Crown Prince and the King of Yin are fighting for it... You must be very important to your family."

"That's called relatives." Gu Xu corrected.

"Yes, relatives." Gu Yue was very touched.

"That Ying Jian doesn't seem to be in a hurry, we still have time." Gu Yue said, "What I'm more concerned about is why King Yin is so sure that I will stand on his side?"

Gu Xu was also very surprised.

The King of Yin was not a man who was eager for quick success and would not act rashly on things he was not sure of.

"What leverage do you have over him?" Gu Xu asked.

"What leverage do I have? You have all my leverage in your hands." Gu Yue answered honestly.

He thought carefully about the entire process of meeting King Yin that day. Apart from killing the fake Wen Qing, there was nothing particularly noteworthy.

The death of the fake Wen Qing...

"Is there anything special about the arrow you used to shoot the fake Wen Qing?" Gu Yue asked.
