After traveling back, I became a group favorite

Chapter 166 166. The Derailed World

"Are you planning to keep your identity from her?"

Gu Wenjin folded his hands and leaned against the wall, questioning Wen Lingdao with a stern face.

Although the matter of Wen Ling's identity and origin has always been a secret to the outside world, in order to allow him to carry out normal and legal activities in Haidu, Gu Wenjin still fabricated the identity of his adopted son for him.

As for Mr. Gu, Gu Wenjin only said that he has been sponsoring a child, and did not disclose other information.

Wen Ling has never met the rest of the Gu family, so the others naturally don't know of his existence.

But right now, if Wen Ling comes into contact with Gu Qingjiu, with Xiao Jiu's character, he will definitely investigate to the end.

By then, their plan was not to—

"No," Wen Ling shook his head:
"She won't know."

When Gu Qingcheng appeared in front of her, it was the time for him to leave...

"..." Gu Wenjin gave him a meaningful look, then answered the phone, hung up, and said to him:
"'She' woke up, I'll go back first, call me if you need anything."

"Yeah." Wen Ling nodded, and then watched Gu Qingjiu's concern for him pop up on the phone interface:

"Are you sick? What kind of disease, are you completely cured?"

"So, tell me where you are now? I'll go find you."

Wen Ling received the other party's concern for him, with an unusually gentle smile:

"It's completely healed, don't worry about me, and..."

He turned his head and glanced out the window, it was pitch black:
"It's very late today, if you come out, I will be very worried."

His slightly ambiguous words made Gu Qingjiu's ears start to heat up, wondering why his pace was unknowingly disrupted by him.

She was just about to say, then go to see him tomorrow, and then she remembered about the competition. After the competition, she might be busy with the clothing exhibition, so it would be difficult to find time to visit Wen Ling. She started to have a headache, so she had to say:

"Then you... take good care of yourself, and I'll see you when I finish my work."

After speaking, she secretly began to regret again.

It's obviously just a contract couple, so she cares about each other, is it a bit too much?
Fortunately, Wen Ling didn't mind either:
"Ok, I will wait for you."

Putting down the phone, and drying her hair at this time, Gu Qingjiu lay on the bed ready to fall asleep, closed her eyes, but her mind was full of the scene of Wen Ling dancing with her at the previous class reunion.

Because it was in the dark night, she didn't even realize that her face had started to turn red, and she held the pillow even tighter.

What's wrong with her? Ever since she came back to this world, Wen Ling gave her a different feeling from other people in this world.

He gave Gu Qingjiu a sense of familiarity, the scent on his body, his gestures, every movement, all made people feel...familiar.

But Gu Qingjiu was sure that she had never seen his face before.

In the darkness, she suddenly opened her eyes.

A bold guess burst out like fireworks in her mind.

What if Wen Ling...doesn't belong to this world?

So every time I saw him, there were more things around him than last time, but it seemed like he had just learned how to use it.

The first time was a mobile phone, and the second time was a car. If it was a coincidence, then it would be too coincidental.

Gu Qingjiu felt more and more in her heart that this world seemed to be becoming more and more different from the small world she originally knew.

And where did the story go off the rails?
Gu Qingjiu kept thinking about her past, but she was surprised to find that she couldn't remember at all, where did the present world start, the point where it became different from the story described in the original work?
This world seems to be the same as described in the original novel, with the Gu family, Qin Su, Qin Shou and Dong Fangzhou, Gu Wangchu who was supposed to be Bai Yueguang, and Gu Qingjiu herself.

This world seems to be different from the original one, with the mysterious Gu brothers, Wen Ling of unknown origin, Gu Wangchu who traveled from another week, and himself who keeps traveling through various small worlds.

There is also the plot, although the current plot has not followed the original, but there are still some similarities.

For example, the time when she was abducted and sold to the black market when she was 14 years old, in fact, in the original book, it should be near the end of the plot.

In the original book, it was not she who escaped by herself, but Qin Su who rescued her.

Now, there seems to be an invisible net that brings these people together.

This feeling of being manipulated but powerless to resist reminded Gu Qingjiu of the same feeling she had when she faced that mysterious organization with hands and eyes in the extreme night.

...Perhaps, it's time for her to find the guy who helped her jump in various small worlds.

I just don't know if I can still find it now.

-

In the afternoon of the next day, the two brothers Gu Qingjiu and Gu Shi set foot on the road to the black market again.

With the previous experience, this time Gu Xizhi easily returned to the parking lot yesterday, and prepared masks for the three of them.

"Thanks."

Gu Qingjiu took the mask, said something to him, and then got out of the car.

The martial arts tournament obviously hasn't started yet, and the arena outside the martial arts hall is crowded with bustling crowds of onlookers.

Yesterday's ring guard was tall and burly, with his upper body exposed, showing strong muscles, brown-black skin, piercing eyes, standing on the stage in high spirits.

Everyone cheered under the stage, only one place was silent.

There are all today's contestants, that is, people who are about to challenge the king of the ring yesterday.

They held towels, cups, or various fitness equipment in their hands, but they all stared at the defenders with covetous eyes.

The cheers from the audience made them jealous, but they also knew that as long as they could win, the cheers from the audience would all belong to them.

The first challenger came on the field, and after the referee rang the gong, the two strong men wrestled together, kicking, hacking, and kicking.

But the ring defender is worthy of being the king of the ring yesterday, even if the challenger tried his best, the ring defender still won easily and knocked him to the ground.

"it is good!!!"

Everyone in the audience exclaimed, even though it was not yet dusk, the lights of various cheering sticks flickered and swayed in their hands, still drawing out rainbows.

The next few people who came on stage also had a majestic and mighty image. Gu Qingjiu and the other two found a place not far from the ring to sit down, and occasionally made objective comments on the performance on the stage.

"A clean sweep of the leg! The timing is just right."

"Elbow here, tsk tsk..."

Gu Xizhi was not interested in martial arts, and he couldn't understand what his mother was commenting on. His eyes drifted away from the ring, but suddenly he found the figure from yesterday again!
He hurriedly got up, and when the other two were puzzled, he left a sentence:
"I'll leave for a while, and I'll go back when I go."

Gu Mingxi looked in the direction he left and saw the familiar figure, so he nodded in understanding.

Based on that guy's personality, it's not surprising that he would appear here.

Only Gu Qingjiu was still in the dark:

"What's up with him?"

"It's nothing, I just met an acquaintance." Gu Mingxi had a reassuring smile on his face.

Only then did Gu Qingjiu let go of the urge to get up and chase.
