Chapter 23: Morning Sun Four

  Fang Chaoyang insisted that I call Gu Chen in front of him, and I asked Xu Luo to leave first. She refused to leave and said she wanted to protect me from being bullied by Fang Chaoyang.

  I called Gu Chen, and his end was very quiet, with heavy breathing sounds, which made me at a loss for words for a while.

  "Anything wrong?" Gu Chen's voice was thick with nasal tone, I slightly furrowed my brow and hesitated to say: "Gu Chen, did you kidnap Fang Chaoyang's sister or not?"

  A sudden crash was heard on the other end of the phone.

  "Has Fang Chaoyang been bothering you?"

  I just realized that Gu Chen was a bit off, automatically ignoring his question and asking directly: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

  I had just finished asking when I found Fang Chaoyang's meaningful gaze falling on me.

  "Uh, I've caught a cold, it's not serious." Gu Chen seemed to smile and said: "Or maybe it's very serious, sis, do you think someone will die?"

  "What are you talking nonsense!" I almost reflexively rebuked.

  Gu Chen is sick. I didn't think Gu Chen could get sick? In my impression, the two words "sick" and "Gu Chen" are far apart, and I couldn't even imagine what Gu Chen would look like when he's sick.

  "In short, hurry up and release Fang Chaoyang's sister." I felt that my words didn't have much deterrent power, so I added: "Kidnapping is a criminal offense, be careful or the police will lock you up for life."

  I finished speaking, and Xu Luo behind me burst out laughing, looking at me with an expression as if I was an idiot.

  I covered her mouth and glared at her with a fierce gaze, warning her to behave, while my hand holding the phone tightened involuntarily.

  Gu Shen on the other end of the phone also laughed, "Sister, if you want me to let go of Fang Mingyue, that's fine too. You come and keep me company for a day."

  I asked foolishly: "Who is Fang Mingyue?"

  Xu Luokai couldn't help it, and slapped me hard on the face, scolding: "Are you stupid? Fang Mingyue is Fang Chaoyang's sister, and you don't even know that idiot sister's name but still go negotiate with your brother, aren't you an idiot?"

  I rolled my eyes and snorted.

  "Tomorrow morning I'll come pick you up." Gu Chen's voice was tinged with a smile, and before I could even finish speaking, he directly hung up the phone, as if afraid that I would change my mind.

  I had no choice but to swallow back the words that hadn't come out yet. Actually, I just wanted to say, Gu Chen, you're still sick, and people who are sick should move less.

  "Xu Luo Kai, help me ask for leave tomorrow." I said to Xu Luo Kai in a commanding tone, while putting away my phone.

  "Ge!" Xu Luo glared at me resentfully, "As expected of a big sister, do you think A University is your family's to begin with? If you want to take a leave, then just take one."

  I ignored her and turned to Fang Chao Yang saying: "Now you can rest assured?" To let Gu Chen give up on Fang Chao Yang's sister, I had made a huge sacrifice.

  "As long as my sister returns safely, I promised you that it will definitely be done." Fang Chaoyang's eyes were complex and he looked at me for half a moment. I seemed to see a mixture of pity and sadness in his eyes, but I didn't know why he was looking at me like that, or maybe it was just my imagination.

  They all say that Fang Chaoyang is cunning, sinister and treacherous, but to me, he seems like a free-spirited knight-errant, so carefree and at ease. I saw many incomprehensible expressions in his eyes, and that hint of melancholy pierced my heart.

  Fang Chaoyang probably has an impossible person deep in his heart as well.
