On the second day, when Gu Qingyao woke up, she was still in a daze. She could hear Li Muyan's low voice in the living room.

After hesitating for a while, Gu Qingyao still slowly walked out.

Li Muyan's gaze was sharp, something Gu Qingyao had never seen before.

Gu Qingyao was slightly startled and stood still. Embarrassed, she coughed lightly and mouthed, "Morning."

The corner between Li Muyan's brows softened as he smiled: "Morning."

He hastened his speech to finish, and then looked towards Gu Qingyao: "Eat some breakfast, it's about time for us to go over."

"Is Xiao Ze better now?"

"The doctor said that his recovery will be quick. Today, he's just staying in the hospital to observe. Tomorrow, he can be discharged from the hospital."

"That's good." Gu Qingyao heaved a sigh of relief.

Li Muyan walked forward calmly, as if he wanted to help Gu Qingyao carry a cup of coffee. However, he staggered a little when he was near the counter.

Gu Qingyao was shocked, she rushed forward quickly to support Li Muyan: "Are you alright?"

"Nothing, I tripped just now." Li Muyan's tone was incredibly calm.

If it wasn't for him understanding this person's personality, Gu Qingyao felt that she would have believed her.

She frowned as she pressed Li Muyan down and asked: "Did you sleep last night?"

"Eh?" Li Muyan was startled.

"Are you asleep?" Gu Qingyao asked.

Li Muyan rarely heard Gu Qingyao say in such a serious tone, and helplessly sighed: "Of course, I went to sleep very quickly last night."

"Impossible …" You went to the police, didn't you? I should be with you. " Gu Qingyao said softly, secretly frustrated at the fact that she had rested too early.

All of these things were aimed at him, if it wasn't for Li Muyan by his side, he would have done the job himself.

But now?

She was enjoying Li Muyan's happiness and care, but there was nothing that she could give to him.

After a long period of silence, Gu Qingyao finally replied in a soft voice, "Thank you."

"No need." Li Muyan laughed, "Today is the finals, we will be returning to our country tomorrow. It's your first time going abroad, so you should enjoy your journey properly. You shouldn't let your mood be affected by these things."

Gu Qingyao blinked her eyes.

So what about Li Muyan?

Li Muyan had come for him, so the competition this time around wasn't really an indispensable opportunity for someone who had reached Li Muyan's level.

All of this was for himself.

Gu Qingyao was silent for a while, before she thought of a good idea.

Just as she was about to speak, Li Muyan brought the coffee over, "If you have anything to say, say it quickly. We can't make it in time."

"Ugh …" Gu Qingyao hurriedly nodded.

She hurriedly swallowed her breakfast. As she listened to Li Muyan speak, her attitude was very clear this time, but it was Yue Jingfeng who said a lot of things about Lin Xiaxue. The poison incident last time was also aimed at you, and it was the same this time. Only Lin Xiaxue's fingerprints were on the spice bottle. He had also found Lin Xiaxue's online purchase record, but Yue Jingfeng indicated that he did not know anything about it. At the moment, it seems like Lin Xiaxue was the only one who did this incident. "

"Yes, I understand." Gu Qingyao lowered her eyes slightly.

"However, Lin Xiaxue got someone to bring a message to Yue Jingfeng in the end," Li Muyan's expression became ugly, and she said in a deep voice. "She asked someone to tell Yue Jingfeng, I hope senior will remember everything that you owe her."

Everything he owed her.

Yue Jingfeng had never owed Lin Xiaxue anything, at least he himself had never known about it.

In other words, if there really was anything, it would be a shady transaction.

Gu Qingyao lowered her eyes slightly, let out a cold laugh, and nodded as she replied, "This matter could very well be a conspiracy. It's just that what kind of deal did Yue Jingfeng make with Lin Xiaxue, and he alone has to bear all the responsibility."

"That's right." Li Muyan asked: "What are your plans?"

"I don't want Lin Xiaxue to be put on probation. I hope that she stays in jail for the next few years." Gu Qingyao said softly.

"It should be possible. She did not turn herself in, nor did she have a good attitude towards admitting her crime. This poisoning is a crime of intentional injury. Returning to the country would require at least two to three years of imprisonment." Li Muyan continued: "If Xiao Ze didn't step out in this matter, and caused serious consequences, then … Lin Xiaxue might still be on probation, but it's impossible now. "

"Using Xiao Ze's body's health in exchange for Lin Xiaxue's imprisonment." Gu Qingyao laughed bitterly: "Did you arrange this beforehand?"

"Yes." Li Muyan said, "But... I am not Xiao Ze's superior now, and he has the right to choose.

Gu Qingyao sighed helplessly.

Their thoughts were too paranoid, and sometimes Gu Qingyao didn't even know how to refute them.

If it had been her, she would have taken the risk because this was her fate.

But she couldn't tell herself that it was reasonable for Xiao Ze to do this.

Li Muyan's back was slightly tensed, and he said: "It's time to go to the meeting place."

Gu Qingyao nodded, her expression becoming serious.

"Xiao Yao." Li Muyan suddenly said.

"You have to be prepared. Everyone's reaction will be very different today."

Gu Qingyao was slightly startled, then nodded and replied: "I understand, don't worry."

… ….

Even though he was mentally prepared, when he arrived at the venue and saw the numerous reporters, Gu Qingyao's expression still changed slightly.

Initially, these people came over because of the competition, but now, when they saw Gu Qingyao and Li Muyan enter the stage, their eyes lit up — —

"Miss Gu, Mr. Li!"

"It's really Miss Gu! Miss Gu, I heard that your competitor was also your best friend who poisoned you before the competition.

"Miss Gu, would you choose to forgive your friend? I heard that you two have been friends for more than ten years. "

"Miss Gu, did you and your friend have any conflicts in the past? Do you think that your performance in this competition has indirectly led to the breakdown of your friendship with your friend? "

Gu Qingyao looked at the reporter who asked the last question, and laughed: "I do not understand what you mean."

"People are jealous, even among their best friends, aren't they? Miss Gu, your excellence might have already made your friends feel pressured, and even the atmosphere of the competition had changed due to your tit for tat, what do you think about this? "

The corner of Gu Qingyao's mouth rose: "I can't agree with your words. As a friend, my friend has improved, I will give my most sincere blessings, and I will be happy for my friend. If a person can't even do such a simple thing, then I'm afraid they are not worthy of being called a person. As for the atmosphere of the competition, I have always believed that there is nothing to criticize about my method. I am very happy to be able to participate in this competition and discuss it with everyone here, but right now, I think that everyone is disrespecting the competition by discussing things that have nothing to do with the competition.
