Chapter 23 Accompany Him First
Qiao Xiao: "System, how long can it be paused over there?"
System: "24h".
Qiao Xiao: "Okay, let's leave it there for now. Gu Jinghe needs me, so I'll stay with him."
The hospital issued a death certificate.
Qiao Xiao notified the nearby funeral home to arrange for the transport and storage of the body.
Gu Jinghe seemed to have lost his soul, staying by her side like an automated machine that only reacted when a signature was required.
After finishing everything, Qiao Xiao drove back to the villa.
She gently carried Gu Jinghe into the room, and just as she was about to leave, Gu Jinghe seemed to have been stimulated by something, and grabbed her hand tightly, "Don't go!" The strength was an indescribable dependence and fear.
Qiao Xiao gently patted the back of his hand, "I'm here, I'm here, don't be afraid." She tried to control her voice and responded gently.
Gu Jinghe was slightly taken aback; he had actually kept her here.
Qiao Xiao moved a chair over and sat down next to Gu Jinghe. "It's okay, I'll leave after you fall asleep."
Gu Jinghe nodded obediently and closed his eyes wearily.
Qiao Xiao watched Gu Jinghe remain motionless for a long time, and just as she was about to leave, Gu Jinghe asked softly, "Can you not leave?"
He said cautiously, "I...can't sleep."
He was mentally prepared that Qiao Xiao would refuse.
"Okay." Surprisingly, she agreed.
Gu Jinghe had his own little thoughts; he wanted Qiao Xiao to spend more time with him, even if it was just for a while.
Qiao Xiao glanced at the time; it was already 22:16 PM.
"System, how much time is left over there?"
System: "3 hours and 46 minutes".
Qiao Xiao: "If I don't have time, I'll cancel it automatically. I want to stay with him."
System: "Okay, host."
Gu Jinghe greedily savored the time he spent with Qiao Xiao, and gradually, his eyelids, which he had been forcing open, finally drooped.
Once Qiao Xiao was sure Gu Jinghe was asleep, she gently closed his door and then locked all the doors and windows in the villa.
"System, how much time is left over there?"
System: "32 minutes".
Qiao Xiao: "Jiang Yu, choose one and go."
System: "Teleporting to the story location... Teleportation successful."
"Time stop ends, the story begins."
"The person Jiang Yu apologized to was named Cheng Xin."
"Cheng Xin is a notorious troublemaker in the class. Her grades are all thanks to spending money."
Qiao Xiao asked in disbelief: "Can you really buy your way into university with money?"
System: "Jiang Yu is still a high school student and has not graduated."
Qiao Xiao: "Are you kidding me?"
System: "Yes, host, the relevant information of the targets is being loaded for you... Number 1: Gu Jinghe, 21 years old, taking a year off from school. Number 2: Jiang Yu, 18 years old, about to take the college entrance examination. Number 3: Shen Jing, age unknown."
Qiao Xiao: "How old am I?"
System: "23 years old".
Qiao Xiao: "..."
Qiao Xiao and the people around her watched.
Man: "Cheng Xin, explain yourself clearly, what is your relationship with this man?"
Cheng Xin never dreamed that the aloof school heartthrob and top student at their school would take the initiative to talk to her.
She retorted, "He's just a regular classmate. What, you don't allow me to talk to guys?"
The man said arrogantly, "Yes, that's not allowed. Who told you to be my girlfriend!"
Cheng Xin: "What's wrong with your girlfriend? Don't forget, Sun You, I paid for your motorcycle! How dare you talk to me like that!"
"Let's break up," she said decisively.
The man was furious: "Did you break up with me because of this pretty boy?!"
