Chapter 161: Pure Love Quest (56-57)
Gu Qiao's shout startled the young man who was running desperately, and he stumbled under his feet, and he threw himself on the ground uncontrollably.
Almost face to face..... The boy subconsciously covered his head.
The imaginary pain did not appear.
A slender hand, firmly gripping his shoulder, stopped the downward trend.
“......”
By the time he stood firm, Gu Qiao had already withdrawn his hand, and the place where his arm touched the young man had obvious dirty dust marks.
The boy also saw his bare feet, subconsciously curled his toes, and moved to the side.
He was dirty, and standing with the girl in a delicate dress in front of him was also staining each other's eyes.
A little at a loss in his heart, the young man leaned his head against his head, spoke first, and stammered to explain:
"I'm sorry...... I didn't mean to stay here on your doorstep..... I'll go now! ”
After saying a word, he limped slightly, and walked to the side, not even having the courage to look up at the girl's face, for fear that the other party would show a disgusted look.
Until, the beautiful red leather shoes under the girl's feet moved, once again blocking his way.
"Don't move."
The girl's voice is quite gentle.
A slender hand reached out towards his face, gently brushing away the sticky and messy hair from his forehead.
The eyebrows and eyes, which had not seen the light of day for a long time, were revealed, and the young man squinted a little uncomfortably, and because the girl reached out to lift his chin, he had no choice but to look up and look at her.
“......”
The gentle and calm light in his eyes made his inner helplessness gradually become stable.
Obviously, she looks as proud as a black swan, but because his height is not as tall as the other party, he bows his head slightly, and his slender neck is indescribably charming.
"What's your name?"
The girl looked at his face and frowned slightly, wondering if it was because his face was too dirty, or because of the other reasons.
"I ......"
He hesitated for a moment, turned his head to look at the gate of the Gu family in the distance, and subconsciously wanted to lie.
But in the girl's calm and clear eyes, he couldn't say deceitful words, so he could only instinctively shake his head and remain silent.
Anyway, it's normal for a little beggar to have no name.
"That's right...... So how old are you? ”
Gu Qiao pursed his lips and looked at the top of the young man's head, where .....
There is only one row of ellipses.
The face is dirty, if you want to say that he is similar to Gu Huai, he is also somewhat similar, but he is an unranked NPC.
"Fourteen."
The boy replied quickly.
The dark eyebrows and eyes were a little uneasy, lest she continue to ask something.
Gu Qiao didn't ask anymore, the age was right, the young man in front of him might be malnourished, and his body was a head shorter than her.
His eyes fell on the young man's bare feet, his right foot was a little swollen, and there were large and small wounds and tears on both feet, as well as on his calves.
"Can I see your injuries?"
Hearing this inquiry, the young man didn't have time to stop it, so the girl in front of him leaned over, and gently touched the wound on his leg with warm fingertips.
The tear was lightly pressed, and blood oozed out.
The boy swallowed a cry of pain and bowed his head a little bewildered.
The girl stood up slowly, her eyebrows and eyes calmly, for some reason, at this moment, she showed a little dazedness, and some suppressed heaviness and anger.
“.......”
He didn't dare to speak anymore, so he stood there obediently.
When the girl looked at the top of his head again, she subconsciously touched her hair, well, it was too long and a little dirty, although he had quietly washed it by the river yesterday.
But the body can't be too clean, and there are some strange and perverted people in this bustling city who always show extraordinary interest in him.
Stain yourself and make your face inconspicuous, so that you can survive better in this unfamiliar place......
“.......”
Gu Qiao retracted his gaze and slowly suppressed the emotional empathy brought by the shared memory, and his heart was hesitant.
'He is obviously Gu Huai, why is he just a rankless NPC now? ’
It doesn't make sense.
The shared memory took effect, she had spied on Gu Huai's past experience, and in a more complete and detailed way, she revealed to her the too bumpy and tragic fate of the young man in front of her.
Even, in those gloomy memories, she saw 'Gu Qiao''s real biological mother, Yan He......
[Gu Qiao, it seems that you choose at random, and the time channel you choose is actually Gu Huai's..... He hasn't made an A-class NPC right now for some reason.... Then you can kill him now! 】
Eva's voice was a little jumpy, it thought that the red mission would never be completed, but now it was a twist and turn.
It's a pity that after seeing the shared memory, the host's expression has been a little heavy, and in the face of its proposal, he just replied lightly: "No." ’
[But if you don't kill him, there will definitely be someone else, if you find out that he is Gu Huai...... You've seen that bar, and there's a lot of people coming in, and they must be like you, bound to a certain NPC and going to a certain time. 】
[This gathering of believers is mysterious, and we don't know who is manipulating it behind it, of course we have to make the most beneficial choice for ourselves......]
After Eva finished speaking, she saw that her host's expression became more and more solemn, and she closed her mouth with a very good look.
It seems that in the shared memory, there are memories about Yan He, and some truths, which have a great impact on their own hosts.
"Can I wait here for a while?"
Gu Qiao didn't think about the old memories of the young man for the time being, and exhaled lightly, his eyes quickly swept over the tattered clothes on the young man's body, his bare feet, and the large and small injuries on his body...... After all, I felt a little uncomfortable.
If you directly take Gu Huai to look back at her family and recognize her relatives now, rash actions may bring irreversible variables, making Gu Huai unable to change from a non-level NPC like her to an A-level NPC in the future.
If you can't turn into an A-rank NPC, you can be a believer or a player who has entered here like you...... can easily kill him.
Gu Qiao can do very little now, but at least he can prepare some medicine and food for Gu Huai, as well as clothes and shoes, or find a way to provide him with some shelter.
Don't talk about the entanglements of the previous generation, it should be a return to Gu Huai's kindness in the future.
"Qiaoqiao, what's over there?"
Wen Lan, who was waiting by the gate, walked towards the alley with a puzzled expression, and Gu Qiao hurriedly ran to chase after her, without saying a word to her.
“.......”
The boy also saw the elegant lady, and subconsciously wanted to run away, but the girl had reached out and patted him lightly on the shoulder, taking his silence as an agreement.
"Five minutes is fine."
Gu Qiao turned around and quickly ran towards the gate of the Gu family.
"That, I...... Can I know your name? ”
Behind him, a young man's slightly nervous shout was heard.
"Gu Qiao."
Without looking back, the girl replied, and ran briskly towards the door, stopping the lady who had come to inspect her.
"Gu Qiao....."
The boy opened his mouth and read the name softly, and it felt the same as the girl, clean and neat.
"Is she Yan He's daughter...... It doesn't look like it at all. ”
Rather, it looks more like the lady who held her hand.
The young man's lips showed a little bitterness, and after hesitating for a moment, he slowly turned around and walked into the depths of the alley.
