The speeding car stopped at the sound.

Gu Zichen opened the door and got out of the car, and ordered Lin Li to be sent back to Liyuan.

At this moment, Lin Li couldn't bear it anymore, she also pushed the car door, ran a few steps and grabbed Gu Zichen's arm.

"Okay, you don't want me to sit in the car, I won't sit, I'll take a taxi back. ”

With that, Lin Li let go of Gu Zichen and sighed softly.

Then she turned around and instructed Zhang Ou, who was standing on the side.

"Zhang Ou, send Mr. Gu back, don't park casually on the road, it's too dangerous. ”

At this time, Lin Li reluctantly smiled at Zhang Ou and stood aside.

Soon the car started, Gu Zichen's face was unusually pale, and the cold air on his body was like a sharp sword, as if it could tear the space apart in an instant.

"Zhang Ou, send the shadow guard to follow her, there can't be any problems. ”

At this time, Gu Zichen's voice was already low and unpresentable.

"Contact Yi Lao as soon as possible. ”

After saying this, Gu Zichen's face flushed strangely, and large cold sweat flowed down his cheeks.

Seeing this, Zhang Ou immediately picked up his mobile phone and arranged everything.

The car sped towards the Gu family's old house.

In the Gu family's old house, the Gu family's grandmother sat on the sofa without saying a word in the hall, and the air was unpleasantly quiet.

At this time, Grandpa Yi walked out of Gu Zichen's bedroom, his expression was very solemn, and when he heard the sound, the Gu family's grandmother hurriedly greeted him with Su Baiji's support.

"Yi Lao, what's wrong?, how could Zichen be so serious today. ”

Hearing the inquiry, Yi Lao sighed lightly, stroked his gray beard, and was very confused in his eyes.

"I knew that Zichen's mood would be unstable today, but this has far exceeded my expectations, I checked his pulse, and found that the toxins hidden in his body seem to be more active. ”

Hearing this, the grandmother of the Gu family, who was almost old, wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

"Zichen's life is really bitter, we are sorry for this child, today is the day of his mother's disappearance, every day, although he doesn't say it, we also know that he is sad. ”

At this time, Su Baiji also wiped his tears and said softly: "Grandma, today Lin Li came to the company in men's clothes, and hugged a huge bear, saying that he wanted to give it to Zichen, and the bear was the same as the one that Zichen lost when he was young." ”

Hearing the sound, the Gu family's grandmother's eyes were sharp.

"What are you talking about, bring Lin Li to me!"

Half an hour later, Lin Li, who was confused and full of grievances, was taken to the old mansion, she had just returned to Liyuan, removed her makeup, and changed her clothes.

At this time, Lin Li stood quietly in the hall of the old mansion, watching the angry Gu family's grandmother come over, followed by Su Baiji.

"Get down on your knees, what did you do today?"

Grandma Gu sat on the sofa, finally suppressing her emotions, and her voice was extremely detached.

Hearing her grandmother ask like this, Lin Li suddenly felt extremely uneasy in her heart.

Looking at Su Bai and her secretly smiling face, she gritted her teeth and still knelt on the ground.

At this time, Lin Li's mind suddenly clearly appeared a large paragraph about Gu Zichen's mother.

Damn! She forgot about it and gave her such a big bear.

In the previous life, Su Baiji calculated himself once like this, but why did he make the same mistake this time.

The maid !!!

At this moment, Lin Li felt a chill in her heart, and all the hairs on her back stood up.

When I went out this morning, I saw the maid who woke up that morning.

She turned her back to herself, talking to others, saying that she had never seen Mr. Gu receive gifts.

Say that today is silver Valentine's Day, and you should give a gift to your beloved.

Although the maid Lin Li felt angry, she never suspected anything.

Su Baiji, what a good means.

At this time, Su Baiji had clearly felt Lin Li's sharp eyes, and she slightly pursed her lips in return.

It seems that the chess pieces she arranged in advance really worked.

The maid was inserted by the old lady after Su Bai and the beast taming failed, in order to find an opportunity to make Lin Li make a mistake.

This time, she just had the mentality of giving it a try, but she didn't expect it to be successful.

Looking at Su Bai and his smug and cruel gaze, Lin Li suddenly calmed down.

"Grandma, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to, and you know that I've been missing some of my memories since I recovered. ”

"Is this an excuse! You are the person who is by Zichen's side every day, do you know how much pain Zichen has to endure today!"

Hearing the sound, Lin Li's mind suddenly showed that Gu Zichen's indifferent abnormal eyes hurt in his heart.

Yes, she clearly knows very well that the mysterious toxin in Gu Zichen's body can make him fall into an uncontrollable manic state when he is emotionally unstable.

Could this be the reason why Gu Zichen suddenly stopped?

Thinking of this, Lin Li's heart suddenly pinched, she took a few steps forward and asked, "Grandma, how is Gu Zichen?"

With a cold snort, the Gu family's grandmother was covered with frost.

"Lin Li, you still know how to care about Zichen, how do you take care of him!!"

Hearing the sound, Lin Li pressed her beating heart and looked at the Gu family's grandmother, her tone sincere.

"Grandma, I know that I am wrong, and I am willing to accept all punishments, but can you let me take a look at Gu Zichen first. ”

Hearing Lin Li say this, although the Gu family's grandmother was angry, it was not as intense as just now.

Seeing this, Su Baiji walked up, looking very entangled.

"Miss Lin Li, you made such a fuss when you came to the company today, Zichen is not light, you still don't go to see him. ”

Hearing this, the Gu family's grandmother stared at Su Baiji with sharp eyes, and said coldly: "Okay, Zichen has Yi Lao there, although those who don't know are not guilty, but my Gu family has always been very strict with rules." If you make a mistake, you still have to be punished, so you go to the camellia tree in the flower courtyard and kneel. ”

Suddenly, a low, hoarse voice rang out.

"Not necessarily. ”

Hearing the sound, Lin Li looked up, and what was imprinted into her eyes was Gu Zichen's pale face and bloodshot eyes, and she couldn't help muttering: "Gu Zichen ......"

As soon as he saw Lin Li wearing a thin skirt and kneeling on the ground with bare knees, Gu Zichen frowned and pulled the girl up.

"I asked her to buy it for me, it's just too big. ”

At this time, Gu Zichen said to the Gu family's grandmother, holding Lin Li's hand tightly.

Hearing the sound, the Gu family's grandmother stood up angrily, trembling and pointing at Lin Li, the previous atmosphere and elegance were all gone.

"Zichen, you still have to protect her! Last time, it was because of her that you entered such a dangerous primeval jungle, and this time, you connived at her again!"

Listening to his grandmother's reprimand, Gu Zichen protected Lin Li behind him and said softly: "Grandma, I'm really fine, don't be angry." ”

Hearing this, the Gu family's grandmother sat down with a sad face, unwilling to look at Gu Zichen.

"That's it, that's it, everything I say is for your own good, if you don't want to hear it, forget it. ”

Gu Zichen bowed to his grandmother, pulled Lin Li and walked out.

At this time, Su Baiji looked at the backs of the two of them, almost biting her lips, she stared at Lin Li, and the poison in her eyes spit out the letter.

Lin Li, let's continue, you can't hide every time.

It was already completely dark, Gu Zichen's hands were cold, and she was in pain when she held Lin Li's hand hard.

At this moment, Gu Zichen pulled her along the road of the old mansion and kept moving forward, and Lin Li needed to trot to keep up with him.

Suddenly, Gu Zichen stopped beside a red camellia and let go of Lin Li.

Seeing this, Lin Li was finally able to stop and take a breath, she smoothed her breath, and then the moonlight looked at Gu Zichen's expression.

At this time, that beautiful face was sprinkled with moonlight, and Gu Zichen, who was not contaminated with a trace of fireworks, looked like an immortal who had strayed into the mortal world at this moment.

It's just that the pale and shiny face is not as calm as water as before, but a slow sadness, the kind of sadness that can immediately sting you.

"Lin Li, you see, this is the flower that my mother planted, and they all said that camellia can't live in the imperial capital, but she still planted it. ”

Hearing this, Lin Li gently held Gu Zichen's hand, raised his head, and leaned against him.

"Actually, it's not a precious variety, it's the kind that can be found everywhere in the south, but my mother planted it in the garden, hoping to see it bloom one day. ”

"Did she see that?"

When he heard Lin Li's inquiry, he paused, gently stroked the small flower and leaf with his other hand, and shook his head.

"No, she didn't see it, and the year after she planted this camellia, she disappeared, her father disappeared, and many people said they died. ”

Hearing the sound, Lin Li held Gu Zichen's hand tightly, she had never seen such a Gu Zichen, so fragile, as if it would disappear at the touch of it.

"You still have me, and I won't leave you. ”

With that, Lin Li opened her arms, hugged Gu Zichen's waist hard, and buried her face in his chest.

Feeling the burning and wetting in his chest, Gu Zichen looked down at Lin Li who was sobbing, his bloodshot eyes gradually faded into blood red, and the rage factor in his body gradually subsided.

"Lin Li, remember what you said, if you violate it, you will have to pay the price. ”

After that, Gu Zichen hugged the girl deeply into his arms, eager to melt it into his bones and blood, his eyes were full of tenderness.

"Do you know why I insisted on going to the Vatican?"

Hearing this, Lin Li raised her head and looked at Gu Zichen with teary eyes.

"Why?"

Raising his hand to wipe away the tears on Lin Li's face, Gu Zichen looked down at Lin Li,

"There is an unknown toxin in my body, which I have studied for a long time and has no results, it will destroy my sleep and may destroy my immune system. ”

Looking at Gu Zichen's eyes that were filled with fog, Lin Li's heart seemed to be pierced by a knife, and it hurt sullenly.

Of course, she knew that in the original book, after Gu Zichen was seriously injured in the Vatican, the virus began to attack, and 3 years later, Gu Zichen disappeared inexplicably.

"I went to the Vatican, and I also got the news that an ancient family there may have seen this virus and there may be a cure. ”

Looking at Gu Zichen's calm face, Lin Li suddenly made a decision.

"Okay, you can go, you have to take me. ”

Hearing this, Gu Zichen lowered his head to Lin Li's incomparably firm and clear eyes, and sighed helplessly.

"Didn't you analyze it very clearly? ”

After hearing this, Lin Li couldn't help but hug Gu Zichen tightly again, and a muffled voice came from his chest.

"I don't care, if you don't let me follow, I'll definitely stop your !!"

Hearing the sound, looking at Lin Li who was clasped on his chest, Gu Zichen chuckled softly.

Lin Li listened to the laughter coming from his chest, accompanied by vibration, accompanied by heartbeat, and never wanted to let go of his hand.

"Okay, let's go together. ”

Hearing Gu Zichen say this, Lin Li raised his head suddenly and asked eagerly, "Really!?"

"Really. ”

The blooming red camellia, the faint fragrance surrounded the tip of Lin Li's nose, and from now on, she could always remember the feeling of mixing the smell with the agarwood incense.

In the next few days, Lin Li stuck to Gu Zichen's side all the time, and the two discussed the luggage to bring.

In the evening of that day, Mu Qinghe's phone call broke the silence, and Lin Li sat up from Gu Zichen's arms.

"Hey, Mr. Lin, everything is ready. ”
