Chapter 1027: He Can’t Be Allowed to Meet Mr. Bo!
Facing Nangong Yu’s "girlfriend-style complaints," Bao Gucheng looked cold and stern, slapping away his hand: "I don’t need a bodyguard.""Alright then, would you hire a bodyguard for your classmate, Ms. Xi, someone who provides 24/7 service and never leaves her side?" Nangong Yu pressed on, determined to get to the bottom of this.
Bao Gucheng, in disdain, didn’t even spare him a glance, only looked towards Xi Zuzi: "I am Zuzi’s bodyguard, providing 24/7 service, never leaving her side. As long as Zuzi needs it, I will do my utmost to provide."
Nangong Yu: "..."
Damn, I’m genuinely seeking answers for self-improvement, but ended up getting force-fed with their public display of affection.
Is the bodyguard thing normal or not?
Over there, Nangong Yu got a mouthful of metaphorical PDA and a closed door.
Meanwhile, at the judges’ table, Gu Shiyin turned pale with fright as Yin Hu suddenly burst in.
Wasn’t Yin Hu trapped in the ancient tomb’s chamber with those people from Country M, buried by the collapsing chamber yesterday?
The people from Country M were seriously injured by the debris, and he was directly buried with no remains.
She had directed him to that passage, naturally knowing the outcome. She wanted to destroy the evidence, bury all the inconvenient details of her private communication with Yin Hu deep in the tomb, forever unknown to Bao Gucheng.
But now Yin Hu had come back alive!
He looked merely tired, without any visible wounds.
How could she not be trembling with fear?
She was stunned for a few seconds, then reacted quickly, rushing forward to take Yin Hu to the backstage: "Brother Hu, are you alright? Let me see if you’re hurt. I’ve been worried sick, so, so worried. I couldn’t sleep well last night..."
She couldn’t let Yin Hu come into contact with Bao Gucheng.
Even more so, she couldn’t let Yin Hu appear in front of everyone.
First, she needed to calm him down!
At this moment, she couldn’t even care about the leaderboard’s ranking change or have the time to fight for the jury’s favor in siding with Officer Yan; her mind was fully occupied with how to dupe Yin Hu.
Fortunately, though Yin Hu’s eyes were bloodshot, making it hard for her to comprehend, he was silent for a few seconds before following her to the backstage.
"Brother Hu, quickly tell me how you escaped! I never thought the passage was so fragile. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have let you go that way. It’s all my fault. Blame me, scold me, hit me..."
She preemptively admitted fault, pitifully.
Yin Hu listened calmly, not interrupting her admission, but said flatly, "Now is not the time to talk about this. I have more important things to do."
Gu Shiyin, seeing that he didn’t seem angry or resentful towards her and appeared unaware that the collapse was related to her, felt much more at ease and tentatively asked, "Brother Hu, are you here to find Mr. Bo?"
Yin Hu shook his head: "No."
He held a burlap sack tightly in his hand, its contents unknown.
Gu Shiyin, a bit curious but afraid to ask, heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing Yin Hu wasn’t looking for Mr. Bo.
As long as he wasn’t looking for Bao Gucheng, everything would be fine.
Next, she had to find an excuse to get Yin Hu out of the venue...
"Brother Hu, to celebrate your miraculous survival, let me treat you to dinner! Come on, let’s find a nice bar and drink till we drop!" Gu Shiyin suggested enthusiastically with a smile, "How about the place we went to for your birthday before? Or that time we chatted all night..."
Every word she spoke was an attempt to evoke the man’s memories of their past happy times together.
At that time, she was the high and mighty Ma Jia goddess, and he was her devoted follower.
