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

Chapter 57 Sleeping together

Gu Xu used his feet to stir the water in the wooden basin.

"Okay," he said, "but you have to tell me everything you know. Otherwise, we'll end our relationship."

"That's for sure!" Gu Yue hastily assured. This kid brother is so moody and hard to please!

But it's difficult for a cannon fodder to become friends with the protagonist, right?

"Xiao Xu, I was at the county government office during the day and saw two people following the prince, a man and a woman. Do you know them?" Gu Yue added some hot water to his foot basin.

Gu Xu looked at him in confusion: "I don't even know what those two people look like, how can I know if they recognize each other?"

Tsk! The male lead is cunning!

Most people would deny by saying they don't know him, but Gu Xu's reaction was very natural. How could I know if he knew me or not, since I didn't know what he looked like?

"I think their names are Wu Yue and Wu Ye, and they are doctors in a nearby village."

"I haven't heard of it." Gu Xu said, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

"Oh...it was that immortal who pointed out a few people who could help you in my dream. They are very important! They look especially like that brother and sister to me. It's a pity that they were taken away by the prince." The disappointment on Gu Yue's face was real.

Gu Xu looked at him straight, with a hint of gloom between his brows.

If Gu Yue is the prince's man, then are Wu Yue and Wu Ye exposed?

Was their secret conversation in the county government office related to them and their siblings?

Gu Xu clenched his fists.

If this is the case, Wuye and Wuyue are in a very dangerous situation.

Gu Xu gently stroked his fingers and tapped twice on the mattress beside him. Seeing this, the wind hidden in the roof immediately swept down from the eaves and landed lightly outside the house.

There was a knock on the door.

"Ah? Who is it?" Gu Yue went to open the door. He was not alert at all, mainly because he had been here for such a long time and no danger had befallen him.

Wu Feng was standing outside the door with a smile on his face.

"You are..." After recalling for a second, Gu Yue called out his name accurately: "A Feng? What's wrong? Please come in."

"Oh, it's nothing serious. I just came to tell Xiao Xu that I'll be preparing to go back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Wu Feng didn't say anything polite and walked into the house.

Gu Xu looked at him: "I see. Where is my brother who is out on a mission? Shouldn't we wait for him?"

"No need to wait. I'm busy for a while." Wu Feng looked at him and exchanged glances.

Gu Xu nodded: "Oh... then have you told them to be careful when going out?"

Wu Feng was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted: "I told you, it's okay. He is the most proud disciple of the master, so amazing."

"What brother?" Gu Yue was confused.

"Dad, is he also interested in my brothers?" Gu Xu was asking Gu Yue, but he was looking at Wu Feng.

Wu Feng understood everything. He smiled and said, "We took care of Xiao Xu when we brought him out, so Xiao Xu calls us brothers."

"Oh." Gu Yue thought, aren't you his subordinates? Let the master call you brother?

He wanted to laugh, and it showed on his face.

Wu Feng looked at his smile warily, then looked at Gu Xu.

Gu Xu nodded slightly.

"It's getting late, so I won't bother you anymore?" Wu Feng scratched his head.

"Oh, okay, go ahead. You're making a trip so late at night..." Gu Yue was very confused. Did the master and servant have a secret conversation? They could go back tomorrow and talk about it tomorrow.

But it’s a good thing for Gu Xu after all. What would a loyal fan of the male lead like him think about?

Just follow it.

He sent Wu Feng away without any regrets and closed the door. Gu Yue was still actively wiping the kid's feet, and then soaked his feet in the water he had washed. He poured out the foot washing water, cleaned up briefly, and climbed onto the earthen kang.

Gu Xu pressed the quilt with his hands and smelled a very fresh scent of soapberries.

Gu Dashi has been untidy for more than 20 years. Now he has changed his personality. Not only does he cover the quilt with a sheet, he also makes it smell good. The difference is really big.

Gu Xu was also somewhat bewildered. All the plans were going on flawlessly under his arrangement, except for Gu Dashi, who he had never paid much attention to, who had become an unclear fog.

And... he has some cleverness, not much, but enough to cover up his secrets.

"Let's go to sleep. I wonder if you can get used to sleeping in this place." Gu Yue lifted the quilt and stuffed Gu Xu into it.

"You haven't told me that you can read." Gu Xu looked at him from under the covers. But when he lay sideways, his eyes were less sharp than the protagonist's, and instead looked a little eager.

Gu Yue blushed at his own thoughts.

"Actually, I know how to read, but I don't know many. Haven't you seen what I wrote? A lot of them are wrong." Gu Yue also thought of an excuse, "How else would I write an IOU to someone?"

"..." Gu Xu thought of the paper he saw. The words on it were indeed missing some parts. "Then how did you submit the manuscript?"

"I just provide the content. What does it matter if the words are good or not?" Gu Yue turned off the light and lay down. He was exhausted today, fighting wits and courage. "Then the boss values my talent more."

Gu Xu was silent.

The kang is quite small, so two people sit very close to each other.

"Dad, tell the truth." Gu Xu said quietly.

Gu Yue was startled. Why did he hear a hint of coquettishness? "What truth? I've told you everything."

"I will have someone to help me in the future. Who?" Gu Xu seemed to be closer.

“The prince?... Or that brother and sister. But it’s mostly because you are so capable and don’t need to rely too much on external things, so it doesn’t matter if you haven’t met any noble people.” Gu Yue thought for a moment. Is Gu Xu in the original text happy?

"If you can't do it, just be an ordinary person. Ordinary people are good too."

But you are the protagonist, so you probably can't be an ordinary person. I am almost the same, I am cannon fodder.

"Am I particularly powerful?" Gu Xu's eyes were dark.

Gu Yue didn't see his eyes, he just lay there, facing the beam above him: "Yes! Very powerful. You can accomplish whatever you want in the end. And then you can marry a girl you like."

Gu Yue felt that the harem in the original novel was not good. It was hard to see what feelings the male protagonist had for them! Some were married for power, some were married for health reasons, some were married to repay a favor, some were married to entrust an orphan to someone else...

"What I like? Shouldn't I marry someone powerful?" Gu Xu gradually adapted to the darkness, and he looked at Gu Yue's profile.

He opened his eyes, and the scar on his forehead had faded. He seemed completely different, but it was indeed Gu Dashi's appearance.

But it's different.

"Well... maybe nowadays people are thinking about marrying someone who is well matched, but I think it's still quite rare to meet someone you like, so it's best to hold them in your hands." Gu Yue wanted to laugh as he spoke. He had never been in a relationship, so why was he teaching a kid here?

"I understand." Gu Xu responded.

"Go to sleep."

"father."

"what happened?"

"cold."

"Ah? It's cold out here?" Gu Yue turned over and touched Gu Xu's forehead. "You don't have a fever."

When he lowered his head and met Gu Xu's gaze, he was actually not a child anymore, just a tall and strong boy, but he just felt pitiful.

"...Then I'll hold you while you sleep." Gu Yue softened his heart. This was not the time for him to be so nervous because of the boss's aura.

Sometimes...it's just a cute contrast!

I understand that this kind of character is popular nowadays.

Gu Yue held him in his arms, and it didn't matter if his posture was a little awkward.

He feels quite thin, but he will be fine after some care.
