"Are you okay?"
A voice filled with intense concern rang out, and the two people standing in front of Gu Tong suddenly beca aware of each other’s presence.
They both paused for a mont, then exchanged glances before turning their eyes back to Gu Tong, as if this was all normal comrade concern.
However, they both simultaneously extended their bottles of mineral water toward her, as if hinting for her to drink theirs.
Gu Tong was dumbfounded and stopped coughing, clearly startled by the scene before her...
Her eyes fell on the two bottles of mineral water, unsure whether to take one or not.
In her mind, the words they had just said echoed, and internally she couldn’t help but scream, "I’m not okay! Not okay! Scaring people can kill, you know!"
"You’re perfectly fine, why did you start coughing?"
Seeing that Gu Tong didn’t take the water, Qiao Chenyi guessed she might be feeling too unwell, so he instinctively put the bottle down and patted her back, asking, "Feeling better?"
Gu Tong opened her mouth to speak, but suddenly felt a sudden chill in the air, like a fierce ice storm sweeping through with blades of cold.
The Devil King, Li Yan, half-squatted down, his dark eyes fixed on Gu Tong, refusing to look away. He raised a long, cold finger to her fair neck, gently rubbing it, and asked, "Still uncomfortable?"
"Much better... not uncomfortable anymore..."
Gu Tong tried to hold it in, not daring to cough again. With them pressing in on both sides, the atmosphere was terrifyingly oppressive, making her just want to escape quickly...
Qiao Chenyi has a gentle personality, ever since they were young he’s taken care of her like a little sister, so it wasn’t too strange.
Li Yan, on the other hand, is tough on the outside but soft inside. Whenever Gu Tong cries out in pain, he rushes over without hesitation to offer comfort.
But...
Each of them is normal on their own, but today they collided...
No matter how Gu Tong looked at it, sothing felt off.
It seed like there was so sort of competition between them.
"I... I need to go to the Royal Doctor Station for a bit... you guys carry on..."
Seeing the situation wasn’t good, she quickly fled.
That was Gu Tong’s usual approach — without another word, she stood up and headed outside.
Never mind where the entrance to the Royal Doctor Station was, escaping was the priority.
"I’ll, I’ll lead you..."
Even a fool could sense the awkward atmosphere.
Thinking this, Yan Lishan stood up too, chasing after Gu Tong.
With the main character gone, the two exceptionally handso n stood before the chair, one behind the other, looking particularly odd.
"The East District trainees have such good relationships," Qiao Chenyi said, curling his lips slightly.
Clearly, he found Li Yan’s behavior strange. Although both he and Gu Tong were trainees from the East District, they were among different genders with no need to be so close.
"Shoucheng is also hospitable and friendly," Li Yan replied coolly.
Neither of them truly knew their respective relationships with Gu Tong.
Because of this, seeing it with their own eyes made it all the more abrupt!
"I’m around the sa age as Gu Tong’s brother, Gu Qing, and grew up with her, so I cherish her like a little sister."
When Gu Tong was little, she was lively and cute, calling out ’brother’ left and right, charming all the older boys in the courtyard. Apart from her biological brother, Gu Qing, all the other boys doted on her growing up.
