Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times-Chapter 603 - 452: From Bromance to Family Love

After all, it was the evildoer who had monopolized the happiness that rightfully belonged to Flower Peacock!

"Flower Peacock, I’m sorry!" Gu Changsheng said solemnly as he looked at Yue Xilou in front of him.

This apology was one she voiced on behalf of the evildoer!

It was only now, at this very moment, that Gu Changsheng understood why the evildoer could rest assured to have Flower Peacock stay by her side, knowing full well that he harbored affection for her.

It turned out that he and Flower Peacock shared such a relation!

"Cough, cough!" Overtaken by emotion, Yue Xilou clutched his chest and coughed softly, "This isn’t your fault, nor is it Zhou Mu’s fault; the blame lies with them! Why did they even give birth to me if they were not going to raise me?"

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng could not help but shake her head.

It must be said, those two old fools indeed were somewhat unreliable!

She still remembered their first encounter, the way the two of them fought each other. Did they look like a married couple?

They seemed more like enemies!

And unexpectedly, they actually had a son! And their son turned out to be a friend she considered family!

"Flower Peacock, don’t be sad, they actually care about you!" Gu Changsheng leaned by the bed and pointed at the hole in the wall to comfort him, "Look, you’re injured and bedridden, didn’t they worry and come to see you?"

"The evildoer went to campaign in Liaodong, and they didn’t follow; they must have left because they couldn’t let go of you!"

Upon hearing this, a trace of hatred flashed across Yue Xilou’s face, "Who needs their hypocritical pity? They do not deserve to be parents! I want to kill them!"

Gu Changsheng shook her head upon hearing this, "Would you? After all, they are your birth parents, and no matter how they neglected you for twenty years, it cannot erase the blood ties! Flower Peacock, it’s not that they don’t want you, it’s that they are just too ashamed to face you!"

"There are no parents in this world who do not love their children; they are guilty and ashamed, too embarrassed to face you, but upon hearing of your injury, they could not set aside their concerns, and that’s why they sneaked here to see you!"

"Flower Peacock, Spring Breeze disregards Yue Xilou, rumors in the Itinerant World abound, some think you are both good and evil, but I’ve always felt you’re more real than anyone else!"

Gu Changsheng said this and slowly got up, "Think about it, whether you want to kill them or forgive them, first clear your mind about what it is you truly want. Just say the word, and I will find a way to bring them to you. For now, focus on your recovery."

Having said this, Gu Changsheng no longer glanced at Yue Xilou, leaving the little bun behind as she turned around and walked out with Borjigin Nian in tow.

It wasn’t until Gu Changsheng had pulled him quite a distance that Borjigin Nian regained his senses and pulled away, looking unhappily at Gu Changsheng and complained, "Why did you pull me out? Didn’t you see Yue Xilou is grieving? This is the time when he needs someone by his side the most!"

"With the scars in his heart laid bare, the last thing he needs now is someone seeing his bloody wounds!" Gu Changsheng gave Borjigin Nian a stern look and spoke in a deep voice, "He’s already an adult, he will handle his own emotions; he doesn’t need us there to make him feel embarrassed!"

"Then why can Xiao Gu Ze stay?" Borjigin Nian grumbled, reluctant as he cast one last glance at Yue Xilou’s bedroom.

"Because he’s still young, he understands nothing!" Gu Changsheng shook her head and replied.

Borjigin Nian pouted at this response, seemingly agreeing, but then turned worriedly to look at the bedroom, saying with heartfelt sympathy, "Think about it, Yue Xilou is really quite pitiable. How could his parents abandon him for all these years, without even a word of concern?"

"That was his parents’ choice, and we are not in a position to judge!" Gu Changsheng said somberly, and then sighed, "The natural craving for family affection is innate, and one can only imagine the resentment, the injustice, and the anger that must lie deep in Yue Xilou’s heart after being abandoned by Thirteenth Lady Du and that old couple..."

The complexity of those emotions made Gu Changsheng herself feel heartache for Yue Xilou!

Love and hate are so intertwined, ensnaring many people in a quagmire they can’t extricate themselves from, that indescribable bitterness can only be felt by those who experience it!

"Gu Changsheng, if Yue Xilou is truly intent on killing them, would you really bring those two people to him?" Borjigin Nian approached Gu Changsheng, asking tentatively, "If he really takes action, that would be patricide and matricide! Those are great sins indeed!"

Gu Changsheng shook her head at this, "He won’t do it! Although he straddles good and evil, his nature is not corrupt. The more he hates his irresponsible parents, the more he thirsts for their love. In this world, hate is never unprovoked; his hatred stems from caring very much!"

Borjigin Nian nodded at this, gazing at Gu Changsheng with eyes like twinkling stars, unable to resist praising, "Gu Changsheng, you are really clever, your words seem to hold such wisdom!"

At this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but roll her eyes, "Of course! Who do you think I am?"

Damn it, she had lived through two lifetimes after all!

If she couldn’t see through these basic worldly relations, then wouldn’t her twenty-nine years in her past life have been wasted as if she had lived in a pig’s belly?

"So, if Flower Peacock wants to see his parents, I will help him bring them here, so they can have their closure," Gu Changsheng stated firmly.

"Aren’t you worried?" asked Borjigin Nian hastily, keeping pace with Gu Changsheng and sounding nervous.

"Worried about what?" Gu Changsheng spoke as she walked forward, "It will be one of two outcomes: a family reunion or a permanent separation. I believe Flower Peacock will come to realize what he truly desires."

Borjigin Nian found this very convincing and nodded. Then, he suddenly grabbed Gu Changsheng excitedly, "Gu Changsheng, I just realized something that seems to have been overlooked by all of us!"

Gu Changsheng’s lips twitched at this, suddenly getting an uneasy premonition.

But Borjigin Nian seemed to have no intention of stopping, and she leisurely began counting on her fingers, recounting, "So, considering that Yue Xilou’s mother and my senior brother’s grandmother are sisters, wouldn’t that make my senior brother and Yue Xilou separated by a generation?"

"Gu Changsheng, how do Han people calculate seniority? Then what should my senior brother call Yue Xilou?"

"Uncle!" Gu Changsheng’s face darkened like ink, but under Borjigin Nian’s deep, inquisitive eyes, he spoke gravely.

What a cruel reality, Yue Xilou damn it, really is that evildoer’s maternal uncle!

There’s an old saying, ’Your aunt’s relatives are close kin for generations, your uncle’s relatives are close for three generations,’ dammit, the evildoer and Flower Peacock evidently haven’t surpassed those three generations yet!

"Wow, that’s really something, if I end up with Yue Xilou in the future, wouldn’t my senior brother have to call me aunt?" Borjigin Nian said with stars in her eyes, "Just thinking about it feels awesome!"

"That’s if you can marry Yue Xilou!" Gu Changsheng responded, unable to help dousing her enthusiasm with cold water.

"It’s just a matter of time! Haven’t you said before, ’As long as one has deep Kung Fu, an iron pestle can be ground into a needle’? I’ve got nothing else, but I’ve got plenty of patience, guaranteed persistence type!" Borjigin Nian assured, immediately thumping her chest in promise, "Senior brother’s aunt, that’s settled!"

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but roll her eyes and walked away from Borjigin Nian, continuing on her way out.

She really didn’t want to hang out with this guy who only had eyes for pretty boys anymore! Dammit, she was nearly dead!

Look at that, just damn envious!

She wanted a pretty boy too!

"Hey, hey! Gu Changsheng, don’t go! You know, you and my senior brother have already exchanged Marriage Letters, and after passing through the clear path, that makes us family, doesn’t that mean Yue Xilou is your uncle too?" Borjigin Nian stubbornly followed, a divine backhanded compliment!

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s face immediately darkened and she couldn’t help cursing in her heart, dammit all to hell!

Why did Borjigin Nian have to poke at such a cruel reality?

Can’t she see I damn well avoid it like the plague?

That’s right, she had bizarrely exchanged Marriage Letters with that evildoer, and now she was bizarrely demoted a generation below Yue Xilou!

God dammit, today really is full of damn nonsensical things!

Gazing into the distance, infinite sorrow!

Damn these evil kinship ranks! Who will save her!

"It’s really lucky that we used to think senior brother and Yue Xilou had something going on, turns out there was really nothing at all!" Borjigin Nian looked at the defeated expression on Gu Changsheng’s face and spoke with great delight.

"How is there nothing?" Gu Changsheng responded on the spot, her face unfriendly as she rebutted, "Just went from bromance to family affection! Thousands of rivers and mountains are always about affection, no difference at all!"

"Er..." At this, Borjigin Nian was suddenly at a loss for words.

Gu Changsheng seized the opportunity and made a run for it!

She needed to find a place to be alone, damn it, why did she have to meddle with Flower Peacock’s background for no reason?

After all that meddling, she ended up dragging herself into it!

Out of the blue, demoted a notch in seniority, Gu Changsheng suddenly realized, damn it, no wonder Flower Peacock kept calling her a girl, it was not because she was tender but because he was higher in rank!

Dammit!

This ’girl’ was called at a loss!

Unfortunately, the chance to play young was gone just like that!

The truth, always so brutally harsh!

Right now, Gu Changsheng had only one thought in her mind, dammit, she wanted to break off the engagement!

Indeed, there’s no damn good in being with an evildoer!

Calamity has struck! There’s nothing worse than this!

Such a tragedy!

After everything settled, Gu Changsheng learned from little meat bun’s mouth the great lengths the evildoer went to save him in the Baili Mountain wildfire.

"What did you say? Uncle Wood is injured?" Gu Changsheng couldn’t believe it as she looked at the little meat bun happily gnawing on a pig’s trotter, asking with trepidation.

"Yeah, an arrow equipped with a hand grenade was blocked by a bad guy and shot at me, Uncle Wood tried to intercept the arrow to save me, and his entire back was soaked with blood..." As little meat bun recalled that day’s peril, the pig’s trotter in his mouth suddenly lost its taste, and he looked at his mother with a worried face, stammering, "Mother, Uncle Wood should be alright, right? He went to fight with his wounds..."

On hearing this, Gu Changsheng stood up in a panic, her face a picture of shock and confusion, shaking her head, "I don’t know... I don’t know..."
