C28 You Have Come Back from a Dead End

She weakly sat on the ground with a bitter smile on her face. She looked sadly at Chiang Hanming, who was still unconscious, and mocked herself, "Do I really have to die here? God, are you playing with me?"

Just when Gu Qianqian was in despair, some hurried footsteps suddenly came from above her head. When she raised her head, she saw a person's head lying on the edge of the deep pit. She looked down and shouted, "Is there anyone?"

As the bottom of the deep pit was covered by bushes, she could not see anything from above. If she looked up from below, she could see it clearly.

Gu Qianqian almost jumped up in excitement and hurriedly shouted, "Yes, yes!" At the same time, she tried her best to push away the bushes that blocked them.

"There is really someone." The person on top quickly looked around for vines and made a long rope. Then, he put it on a nearby tree and slowly went down to save them.

When Gu Qianqian saw the person who came down, she was suddenly stunned. She looked at the person who jumped in front of her with a face full of surprise. That familiar face, that familiar figure and eyes.

"Chen Boan, why are you here?" Gu Qianqian subconsciously shouted.

Chen Boan was wearing a patched dress. He looked at her strangely. "Miss, I have never seen you before. How did you know my name?"

Gu Qianqian suddenly came back to her senses. The Chen Boan back then was just a poor scholar who could not even pass the High Scholar examination. In the end, it was she who pointed him to the bright road and became the Assistant Minister of Rites. Unfortunately, it wasn't long before he was killed by her back then.

Chen Boan saw that Gu Qianqian was in a daze and didn't say anything. He reminded her, "Miss, what's wrong?"

"Nothing." Gu Qianqian calmed down and moved Chiang Hanming out of the deep pit with Chen Boan.

Chen Boan saw that Chiang Hanming was very weak. If he did not see the doctor, it would not be good. He volunteered to carry Chiang Hanming to the city. Gu Qianqian followed closely behind.

Because Gu Qianqian had given the most valuable silver hairpins to the inn, she was penniless. In the end, it was Chen Boan who was kind enough to give her the money for his meal for the past month.

Chiang Hanming temporarily stayed in Chen Boan's house. After a day of unconsciousness, he finally woke up.

The night was hazy, and the cool breeze was like water.

Chiang Hanming slowly opened his eyes as he laid on the bed. A flickering candle flame was emitting a weak light. Gu Qianqian, who was sitting in front of the bed, had an aged and exhausted look on her face, which made her look even more withered and thin.

Chiang Hanming tried to sit up from the bed. The corner of his mouth curled up into a gentle smile. The corner of his eye was curved like a crescent. Just as his hand touched Gu Qianqian's shoulder, Gu Qianqian's body trembled and woke up from her deep sleep.

"Beloved, go to bed. You will catch a cold this way." Chiang Hanming was full of tenderness and looked at her with deep affection.

"No need. You have not recovered yet. I will squeeze you. You can sleep on your own." Compared to before, the coldness he used to talk to Chiang Hanming now had a hint of gentleness.

Suddenly, a big hand caught Gu Qianqian off guard and pulled her onto the bed. She wanted to get up but her life was already covered by her. "Go to sleep, wife. I won't touch you. Don't worry."

Gu Qianqian quietly lay on the bed and did not get up. She muttered in her heart, This body is his wife. Isn't it a bit too much to not let him touch it? She turned her head and wanted to talk to Chiang Hanming. In just a few breaths' time, Chiang Hanming fell asleep again. There was even a slight snoring sound in his nostrils.

"Idiot!" Gu Qianqian cursed and fell into a deep sleep not long after lying on the bed.
