After Transmigrating, I Saved the Saintly Male Lead
o0o
"Don't cry, I'll give you my life..."
"I'll give you my life..."
The storage room had relatively good sound insulation.
These two sentences echoed in the storage room three or four times before finally stopping.
It was the first time Ji Anche had said such embarrassing words, and the tips of his ears couldn't help but turn a light red, and his cheeks couldn't help but burn.
He secretly glanced at the male lead's expression, only to see Gu Hanzhou's eyes lifeless, staring blankly ahead, seemingly stunned by his words just now.
Understandable.
The first time he saw the male protagonist in the novel grab the female protagonist's waist and press her against the wall for a kiss, he was also very shocked, feeling that his soul had suffered great harm.
It took him a full three days to slowly recover.
This was enough to show how powerful these words were.
Ji Anche marveled inwardly, and his gaze accidentally falling.
He happened to catch a glimpse of a reddish stain seeping out of the back of the male lead's hand.
That dark red stain seemed to be a bloodstain about to dry!
Ji Anche's heart jumped fiercely, and he frowned.
"What's wrong with your hand?"
Gu Hanzhou hurriedly shrank his hand behind his back, his eyes flickering and hiding, not daring to look directly at him, stammering.
"It's nothing."
Ji Anche frowned tightly and leaned over.
Gu Hanzhou took a step back in a panic, his footsteps hurried and staggering.
"It's just, just an accidental scratch."
"Then why are you back away?"
Ji Anche's eyes were covered with a layer of coldness, he leaned over and pressed Gu Hanzhou against the corner of the wall, grabbing Gu Hanzhou's wrist.
In the narrow and dark space, the tips of their noses touched, and even their breaths intertwined.
Gu Hanzhou held his breath nervously, asking awkwardly.
"Ge, what do you want to do?"
This intimate posture was very much like a wall slam.
However, Ji Anche didn't realize this at all.
Ji Anche's expression was cold and stern, he grasped Gu Hanzhou's wrist. The back of his hand was pale, and the light blue blood vessels on his skin could almost be seen.
He forcibly pried open Gu Hanzhou's palm.
The bright red wound in his palm was exposed, the blood-red flesh everted, and blood smeared his entire palm.
This kind of laceration wound was obviously cut by a blade.
He couldn't imagine how deep the blade had pierced to cause such a serious wound.
"This is what you call a scratch?"
Ji Anche smiled angrily, crossing his arms and leaning against the wall, his eyes like sharp thorns.
"Which wall did you scratch on? Go scratch another one for me to see."
The lie was exposed so quickly, Gu Hanzhou lowered his eyes helplessly, and a shallow red of embarrassment appeared at the base of his ears.
"Let Ge see which wall has such great ability."
Ji Anche's elbow propped against the wall, his eyebrows and eyes filled with hostility as he stared straight at Gu Hanzhou.
"Ge will tear down the wall for you."
Gu Hanzhou was amused. "Ge, don't joke."
"I'm not joking."
Ji Anche's face sank, and he said coldly, "Who did it?"
"Liu Lifei?"
Gu Hanzhou turned his eyes away, looking elsewhere, his expression tangled as he pursed his lips.
"Ge, don't be angry."
Gu Hanzhou lowered his eyes, gently tugged on Ji Anche's sleeve, his eyes clear and pure.
"I accidentally bumped into it."
"It has nothing to do with anyone else."
The wound was accidentally cut by him with a knife when he fell into mania just now. It really had nothing to do with anyone else.
Gu Hanzhou barely pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a pale and weak smile, "Ge, don't misunderstand."
Seeing the male lead's effort to hide it, it didn't look like it had nothing to do with others.
The male lead was probably afraid of him getting hurt when he took revenge.
He would rather endure the pain himself than let him get hurt.
Alas, so kind.
A warm current spread in Ji Anche's heart. He tried to recall the plot of the original novel. In the first part of the novel, only Liu Lifei and his followers would cause trouble for the male lead, so it was not difficult to guess that this was most likely done by Liu Lifei.
It's Liu Lifei, that piece of trash, again.
Anger rushed to his heart, Ji Anche gritted his teeth angrily and put his arm around Gu Hanzhou's shoulder.
"Don't be afraid, Ge will avenge you."
Walking out of the storage room, it happened to start raining heavily.
Lightning tore through the dark night sky, and thunder rumbled.
The pattering raindrops hit the potholes, splashing up beautiful little water flowers.
At this time, the supermarkets near the school were closed, and umbrellas could not be bought at all.
Fortunately, Ji Anche's home was only a five-minute walk from the school.
Ji Anche took the initiative to suggest. "Your home is farther from school, let's go to my house to avoid the rain first."
Looking at the pouring rain outside, Gu Hanzhou said gratefully. "Ge, thank you for your trouble."
His palm was tightly held by Ji Anche, and the boy pulled him into the continuous rain and mist.
The boy's palm was hot and scorching, and along the veins of the palm, it seemed to burn into his heart.
Gu Hanzhou's eyes narrowed slightly, watching the boy's lively and unrestrained back, a strange emotion flashed through his heart.
Through the vast rain and fog, Ji Anche turned his head and shouted loudly. "Hey, you're too polite."
"What's the trouble between father and son?"
Gu Hanzhou: "..."
The two of them held their school uniforms over their heads and ran quickly in the heavy rain.
They ran in the rain all the way to the rental house.
Ji Anche took out the key and opened the anti-theft door lock.
The wet shirt clung to his body, and the stickiness made Ji Anche feel very uncomfortable. He wanted to take a shower, but there were more important things to do.
As soon as he got home, Ji Anche went straight to the medicine box in the living room.
When he finished taking the medicine box, he saw Gu Hanzhou standing cramped at the entrance, not daring to come in.
Ji Anche asked doubtfully. "What are you standing there for? Come in quickly."
Gu Hanzhou lowered his head, anxiously pinching the hem of his clothes.
"There is mud on the soles of my shoes, it will dirty the floor."
"It's okay, as long as you don't step on dirty shoes and go to my bed to dance."
Ji Anche walked over and took the male lead's hand, letting the male lead sit on the sofa.
"How is the wound on your hand? Let me see it first."
Gu Hanzhou raised his eyes and obediently stretched out his hand to spread his palm.
Sharp knife marks lay across the middle of his fair palm, and the edges were oozing blood.
Ji Anche took a breath of cold air, frowned and asked. "Doesn't it hurt?"
Gu Hanzhou lowered his eyes and looked at the hideous wound in his palm.
Dense, needle-like pain came from the wound, and the stinging pain, one wave stronger than the other, was transmitted to the nerves.
It really hurt.
So what if it hurts.
Ji Anche opened the medicine box and took out the alcohol spray, sighed, and said helplessly, "Why don't you make a sound?"
"Are you stupid, don't you know how to shout for pain?"
Ji Anche took out iodophor and alcohol, intending to do a simple disinfection first.
Gu Hanzhou looked up at him, his eyes clear and clear.
After a few seconds, he heard the male lead's voice.
"Eum."
The sound was very soft, as if it would dissipate with a gust of wind.
Ji Anche's heart softened in an instant, and he lightened the bandaging action.
"Ge, it hurts so much."
Gu Hanzhou's eyes were filled with wet mist, looking pitiful.
Ji Anche's heart tightened: "Then what should I do?"
Gu Hanzhou, bewitched, whispered softly, "Gege, a kiss will make the pain go away."
Hearing this flirtatious remark, Ji Anche's cheeks instantly turned crimson, and he stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded.
He gazed at Gu Hanzhou in confusion.
Gu Hanzhou's eyes were pure, his expression still innocent and untainted, as if he wasn't talking about a kiss but something very ordinary and normal.
The male lead probably didn't mean anything else.
How could the naive and pure male lead possibly say such flirtatious words?
It must be overthinking.
Ji Anche swallowed.
"No."
"Pain is a normal physiological phenomenon. Scientific research shows that kissing cannot alleviate pain. Don't be superstitious."
Gu Hanzhou asked innocently. "But the book says that saliva contains antibacterial substances that can numb and relieve pain."
So it was just about kissing the wound?
Ji Anche was stunned. He thought it was about kissing...
Ji Anche covered his burning cheeks and retorted, "You read it wrong. Don't read random books in the future."
Gu Hanzhou obediently said, "Oh."
After bandaging, Ji Anche took off his wet shirt, "I'm going to take a shower first."
"There are towels in the wardrobe. You can wipe yourself down first. Clean clothes are in the bedroom wardrobe. Be careful not to let the wound touch water."
Gu Hanzhou nodded obediently.
He was soaked, his slightly wet black hair falling over his handsome brows. The usual coldness of his features was softened by the rain, making him look especially well-behaved.
Ji Anche couldn't resist patting the male lead's head, then picked up clean clothes and headed to the bathroom, "Be good, go change."
Gu Hanzhou smiled, "Okay."
After Ji Anche left, the obedient smile on Gu Hanzhou's face gradually faded.
He stared at the white gauze on his palm, looking at it for several minutes.
Ji Anche's abnormality was a thorn in his heart.
The sudden kindness, the unexplained closeness.
The thorn was wrapped in honey, hidden beneath a warm facade, and he didn't know when it would tear through the surface and pierce him until he bled.
A person's living environment often best reflects their personality. If Ji Anche had ulterior motives, the bedroom was the most likely place to reveal them.
Gu Hanzhou walked to the bedroom, scanning the room.
The bedroom was tidy and bright, with the bright fluorescent light casting its glow across the room.
The decor was simple, in black and white.
A leisurely recliner with a large palm-leaf fan.
A black fishing rod hung on the shelf.
The windowsill held flower pots with cacti, aloe vera, and even a few bunches of small cabbages and other green vegetables, looking vibrant and full of life.
Gu Hanzhou was stunned. He had seen people grow flowers and plants at home, but planting cabbages was a first.
On the table was a box of dried goji berries, Longjing tea, Tieguanyin tea, and other teas.
A black thermos cup for the elderly sat on the desk.
On the desk was a black MP3. Gu Hanzhou walked over and pressed the power button.
The MP3 screen lit up, displaying the names of a few songs: 'Changbanpo,' 'Empty City Strategy,' 'Farewell My Concubine,' 'Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy'...
As far as he knew, these were all famous Peking operas.
Gu Hanzhou wondered if he had come to the wrong place.
The thought of investigating whether Ji Anche was colluding with Liu Lifei was thrown to the back of his mind. Now, he was left with only one thought.
...Is this really the room of an 18-year-old male high school student?
Gu Hanzhou sat on the sofa in a daze, sinking into deep confusion.
