Chapter 374 Can you accompany me tonight?
He felt really upset and didn't know how to continue, so he simply stopped talking and changed his tone: "I failed to protect you, it's my fault, I'm sorry."
Zhang Qingqing seemed to feel even sadder because of his words. She stared at Gu Nankai blankly, very sad, tears streaming down her face: "So I... am an orphan, do I really have no family, I don't have a father or a mother... do I really have no family..."
Looking at her eyes that were originally full of hope but now suddenly dimmed, Gu Nankai felt a pain in his heart. Not long ago, she had said similar words in front of him, and at that time they could still warm each other, but now he didn't know how to start.
"I'm here, I will protect you in the future." He really didn't know what to say, and now he could only comfort her. Perhaps it was Gu Nankai's words just now that made the relationship between the two of them suddenly closer. Hearing him say this, Zhang Qingqing's tears flowed even more violently, and she suddenly threw herself into his arms.
Gu Nankai's body stiffened, but Zhang Qingqing held him tightly, so he could only bear it.
"I don't have to go back anymore , right? I don't have to be scolded anymore, right? You will protect me, right? I don't have to do these things anymore, right? I beg you, save me, I don't want to be like this anymore..."
From her words, Gu Nankai seemed to have heard what kind of life she had been leading for the past three years, being scolded and doing such things. Just from a few words, he knew that she must have been coerced. Three years...
Everything that was supposed to happen had happened, and now Zhang Qingqing was truly hurt and scarred.
Gu Nankai suddenly hated himself. Why did he become decadent? Why did he not do anything in the past three years? Why didn’t he go looking for their bodies when he clearly didn’t find them? If he had cheered up and looked for them, would the outcome be different now?
It's his fault.
He comforted Zhang Qingqing again and again, but Zhang Qingqing had already cried until her voice was hoarse. Finally, only Gu Nankai came out. As for Chen Anning and Wu Qingluan, after a long wait, their initial worries had turned into exhaustion. When Gu Nankai came out, he saw the two of them sitting casually on the ground, having fallen asleep with their backs against the wall.
Looking at their expressions, Gu Nankai stood there for a while, not knowing what he was feeling. Perhaps his burning gaze made Wu Qingluan notice it. She frowned and slowly opened her eyes. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Gu Nankai standing not far away. She quickly rubbed her eyes and stood up. At that time, Chen Anning also heard the noise and woke up.
"How is it? What's going on?"
The two of them quickly stood up and came to Gu Nankai to ask. Seeing their tired faces, Gu Nankai thought about it for a while, but he said, "It's similar to Shengrong. She has no memory of three years ago."
He hesitated for a while, then looked at Wu Qingluan: "Teacher Wu, maybe tonight..."
Wu Qingluan frowned and looked at him, only to hear him say, "Qingqing may have been threatened and has nowhere to go now. I think she may have to stay with us tonight."
Wu Qingluan subconsciously felt a little uncomfortable, but looking at Gu Nankai's expression, she still smiled as if nothing had happened: "It's okay, it's so late, just take her back, there's still a room at home, let her stay there."
Looking at Wu Qingluan's dignified and flawless face, Gu Nankai felt like something was stuck in his heart, but he hid it well so that no one could notice it. Instead, he nodded solemnly.
"That's it for tonight. Take the people back first, and we'll deal with the rest tomorrow."
In fact, Chen Anning also felt a little confused now. There were many things in his head that he couldn't figure out clearly, so he didn't know what to say at the moment. He could only ask everyone to go back and rest first, and then talk about these things after that.
Wu Qingluan and Gu Nankai had no objection, and Gu Nankai soon re-entered the room, but when he came out, Wu Qingluan and Chen Anning couldn't help but widen their eyes.
Zhang Qingqing was carried out by Gu Nankai.
"She was asleep when we went in, and couldn't be woken up no matter how hard we called her." Looking at the two people's eyes, especially the flash of hurt in Wu Qingluan's eyes, Gu Nankai felt a little guilty, but still explained it this way.
Wu Qingluan didn't say anything. Chen Anning glanced at the two of them and quickly tried to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, take the people away quickly. We can't stay here any longer."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone started to move their own way. Gu Nankai walked in front holding Zhang Qingqing, Chen Anning followed beside him, and Wu Qingluan walked behind with Zhang Qingqing's bag in her hand. She stared at the figure of Gu Nankai walking with the woman in his arms and couldn't help but smile bitterly, secretly sighing in her heart that it was not that she was inferior to this woman, so why should she always feel that she was inferior to her?
As expected, women in love are prone to wild imagination. What's more, her love is now just a one-man show, so she has no right to comment on Gu Nankai's behavior.
Thinking of this, she suddenly came to her senses, and with a bitter smile on her lips, she began to take it all more lightly. Otherwise, she knew very well that once she started to compare herself with Zhang Qingqing, she would be the only one who would get hurt.
She is Wu Qingluan, she will not be jealous of her at this juncture.
Chen Anning drove away alone, while Wu Qingluan and Gu Nankai took Zhang Qingqing back to where they lived. When they arrived at the door of their house, Zhang Qingqing woke up, but she was still as scared as a frightened bird. She nestled in Gu Nankai's arms, always feeling like someone was trying to harm her.
"Is this... your home?"
Looking at the large and elegantly decorated apartment, Zhang Qingqing opened her eyes wide and asked Gu Nankai. Gu Nankai met her eyes and was about to explain, but Wu Qingluan at the side spoke first: "It's his home. You can live here with peace of mind in the future. We will protect you."
Zhang Qingqing listened to her words and looked at Gu Nankai with some doubt in her eyes: "Who is she? Is she your girlfriend?"
This question made Gu Nankai and Wu Qingluan a little stunned. Wu Qingluan subconsciously wanted to deny it, but Gu Nankai quickly explained: "Yes, she is my girlfriend, her name is Wu Qingluan, so this is also her home."
Wu Qingluan felt that the blood in her body had stopped flowing at this moment. She looked at Gu Nankai in shock. She had never expected that he would say such a thing at this time. Gu Nankai did not give her a chance to speak, and quickly said, "What are you standing there for? Don't you admit it?"
Wu Qingluan looked at Gu Nankai with confusion and shock in her eyes, but he nodded slightly at her. She knew what this nod meant, and also understood the meaning revealed in his eyes .
He told her not to think too much.
Wu Qingluan was overwhelmed with thoughts for a moment. She only felt extremely happy in her heart at this moment, but she also knew clearly that she could not make any movements or behaviors to express her emotions at this moment . Thousands of words could only turn into a twisted smile to respond to Gu Nankai.
Zhang Qingqing didn't seem to notice their interaction. She just looked at this charming and bright house in confusion and greed, with deep worry in her tone: "Will you not want me?"
Gu Nankai frowned slightly, but that emotion disappeared so quickly that even Wu Qingluan didn't notice it. Soon she heard him say, "No, we won't abandon you, don't worry."
Zhang Qingqing felt relieved. She ignored Wu Qingluan and grabbed Gu Nankai's wrist, begging, "I'm so sleepy, so hungry, and so scared. Can you stay with me tonight? I'm scared if I'm alone... Brother..."
