After making up his mind, Gu Xizhou went to visit Fang Zhi at the hospital using the die Si Yu had given him in front of Fang Zhi. Gu Xizhou could see that Fang Zhi’s complexion was much rosier as he sat on the hospital bed, showing that nurses had been taking good care of him.
Fang Zhi watched Gu Xizhou’s movements attentively. He already knew that Gu Xizhou had been carrying a die with him recently, and Gu Xizhou hadn’t hidden it from him, so he knew the die in Gu Xizhou’s hand was a prop.
Gu Xizhou rolled the die and it spun on the table for a moment before finally settling. Fang Zhi watched it closely and let out a long breath. Thankfully it was still a 6.
If it had been given to someone else, they wouldn’t dare to use it unless the situation was dire. Afterall between 1-3 and 4-6 there was a fifty fifty chance of luck or misfortune. But Gu Xizhou rolled a six every time.
Fang Zhi wasn’t thinking much as Gu Xizhou rolled the die, but Gu Xizhou was thinking—Before I go home, I want to see Fu Yiran.
After he made his wish, Gu Xizhou turned to look at Fang Zhi, staring at the hand that could no longer lift heavy objects because of his injuries. In his heart, he still felt somewhat uneasy. If he had been with Fang Zhi then something like this wouldn’t have happened.
Fang Zhi shrugged, noticing Gu Xizhou’s line of sight, and deliberately interrupted Gu Xizhou’s thoughts with a smile. “Gu Ge, wash me an apple, I want something to eat.”
“Oh, okay,” Gu Xizhou said, getting up to wash an apple for Fang Zhi.
The two of them were chatting when Fang Zhi’s phone suddenly rang. When he saw the caller ID, he frowned, but he still answered the phone.
Gu Xizhou didn’t know what the two siblings were talking about and he had no interest in eavesdropping on someone else’s conversation. After thinking about it for a moment he stood up and told Fang Zhi, “I’ll return first.”
“Okay, bye Gu Ge.” Fang Zhi nodded to Gu Xizhou.
When Fang Zhi was hospitalized, Gu Xizhou had forgotten to notify Fang Zhi’s sister with everything going on. When he woke up, Fang Zhi naturally didn’t want his sister to worry so he didn’t tell her. Seeing the two siblings chatting happily away, Gu Xizhou shut the door and left.
Just as he reached the entrance, Gu Xizhou saw a speeding sedan pull up to the entrance. The door opened and an exceedingly handsome man got out. The man grabbed Gu Xizhou’s hand and said, “Come help me!”
Gu Xizhou didn’t talk nonsense because the two people in the car were covered in blood. One man and one woman. The woman’s belly was swollen indicating that she was pregnant. These two should be married.
All the medical staff in the surrounding area rushed over and helped the two people onto stretchers and pushed them towards the operating room. After that there was nothing wrong so Gu Xizhou went to leave.

When the man who had brought the two people in had helped pay the fee, he returned. When he saw Gu Xizhou, he sat down next to him, fishing out a cigarette and gently tapping it against the box twice. He was just about to light it when a nurse walked by and gave him a sharp look.

The man continued to speak openly, “When the other car hit them the man actually didn’t need to be seriously injured. If he’d only turned the steering wheel to the left he wouldn’t be in such a miserable state. Do you know why he didn’t swerve?”
Gu Xizhou ‘en’ed and didn’t plan to continue talking to the man. He didn’t care why the injured man didn’t swerve, but when he didn’t respond the man kept talking. “Because there happened to be a power pole on the right. If they were to collide with it on their right side, that woman would be in an even worse state than she’s in now.”
Gu Xizhou, “Eh… I have something I have to do. I’ll leave first.”
“Oh.”
Gu Xizhou had already confirmed that everything was fine and was about to leave when the man spoke up from behind him. “Hey, if you were that man, what would you choose?”
Gu Xizhou ignored him and walked straight to the elevator. If it were him… what would he choose? Was it even worth considering?
Si Yu.
If only one of them could live, he would choose Si Yu.
He just hoped that everything would come to a conclusion soon. No matter what the outcome was, he just didn’t want to continue like this forever.
Gu Xizhou didn’t return home right away after leaving the hospital. He’d just used the die and should have run into Fu Yiran, but he was disappointed. He didn’t see Fu Yiran.
While Gu Xizhou was busy being disappointed, in the hospital operating room a man and a woman were waking up. They learned from the doctor that a kindhearted person had sent them to the hospital. After learning that the man had paid their medical expenses, both of them sighed at their good fortune.
“Where is he? I want to meet him!” the injured person cried.
The doctor spread his hands helplessly. “There’s nothing we can do. After determining that he wasn’t the culprit, we let him go. He’s already left the hospital.”
The injured man cried out, “I met a good person, ah. Wuwuwu… Doctor, may I ask you what the gentleman’s name is?”
The doctor thought for a moment and said, “When he paid the bill he signed his name. It was something like Fu… Fu something…”
“Fu Yiran!” The little nurse next to the doctor reminded him.”
“Right, his name was Fu Yiran!”
As time went by, Gu Xizhou asked Li Yan what his future self had said on the phone about his death in the snowman world since Gu Xizhou had already had him investigated.
Li Yan had said: If we don’t save him, everyone will die, and he has no idea what the reason is.
Then Gu Xizhou went to find Ye Shu again. Ye Shu wasn’t surprised by Gu Xizhou’s appearance and only whispered in his ear. “Without you, everyone will die.”
Getting this result, Gu Xizhou took a deep breath and sighed deeply. He left Xiqing and returned to Ningqing the same day because Fang Zhi’s time was almost up.
Gu Xizhou reached for his phone by the bed and glanced at the time. Today he had to go to the hospital, and when it was time, he had to enter the mission world.
Due to Fang Zhi’s physical limitations they decided to enter the mission world in the hospital. When Gu Xizhou and Si Yu arrived at the hospital, Gu Xizhou happened to run into the couple from the car crash. They seemed to have recovered well. Now they were able to move around freely.
They were accompanied by a young nurse who was chatting with them and seemed to be taking them to an examination. Their gazes fell on Gu Xizhou and Si Yu who both had exceptional appearances. Gu Xizhou came to visit Fang Zhi often so the young nurse naturally had become familiar with Gu Xizhou.
“Nurse Yu? Nurse Yu…” The couple from the accident called her name twice. Nurse Yu snapped out of her thoughts and the couple joked, “Which one do you like, ah? You’re pretty good looking, go get his number.”
Nurse Yu stuck out her tongue and said bashfully, “Dage, Dajie, don’t tease me or I’ll get angry!”
“Speaking of which, the day you were hospitalized, that gentleman helped carry you in!”
Hearing that the couple who’d been joking looked stunned and whipped their heads around, stopping on Gu Xizhou and Si Yu.
“Hello Xiansheng, Thank you for bringing us upstairs that day!”
Gu Xizhou, “It was nothing.”
The couple chuckled and said, “There are still lots of good people in the world. We were lucky to meet Fu Xiansheng that day and you helped us as well!”
“Fu Xiansheng?” Si Yu said, raising an eyebrow, “Fu Yiran?”
“Right, ah, Fu Yiran Xiansheng. You know Fu Xiansheng’s name? Do you know him? Then you must help me thank him for that day! Could you give me his phone number?” The man from the car crash asked Si Yu urgently.
Gu Xizhou’s mouth twitched. It turned out he had already met Fu Yiran… But that man didn’t look anything like Fu Yiran!
He hadn’t asked him a single question that he’d wanted to ask.
Si Yu explained for a long time that he and Fu Yiran didn’t know each other very well and didn’t have his contact information. Si Yu led Gu Xizhou in the direction of Fang Zhi’s room and asked him, “Xizhou, did Fu Yiran say anything to you that day?”
Gu Xizhou shook his head and said, “No, I didn’t even recognize him.”
Wait a minute… Fu Yiran had spoken to him that day even though he was only talking to himself.
But Gu Xizhou hadn’t forgotten. Fu Yiran had asked him, ‘Hey, if you were that man, what would you choose?’ Gu Xizhou didn’t think that Fu Yiran would ask a meaningless question.
He was actually asking him.
Gu Xizhou’s ears were filled with noise but his thoughts had already drifted very far away. It was strange, Fu Yiran didn’t reveal who they were or show any hostility. It was just an ordinary conversation, but based on his attitude in the snowman world, should Fu Yiran have stabbed him to death?
No…there was a countdown. Fu Yiran couldn’t kill him until he entered the mission world.
Thinking to this point, Gu Xizhou shook his head. It didn’t matter what Fu Yiran meant, he would never let anything happen to Si Yu.
Gu Xizhou took the die out of his pocket and shook it.
“What’s the matter?” Si Yu asked.
Gu Xizhou held up the die box and said, “Isn’t this thing supposed to bring good luck? I shook it and hoped that our mission will go smoothly and isn’t complicated.”
Si Yu smiled indulgently and said, “It does.”
After entering the room, Gu Xizhou closed the door behind him and the three of them chatted like normal. After a while, there was a familiar sensation of dizziness and Gu Xizhou opened his eyes.
It seemed as though Gu Xizhou’s eyes hadn’t adjusted to the dim environment. His vision was dark, and he was unable to see his surroundings clearly. But this wasn’t the problem. The problem was the waves of pain radiating from his waist as he failed to take in a breath. A pair of small hands were pressing against his waist.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”
The author has something to say: Someone should have guessed who’s saying sorry, ba!
Thank you for the update.
Ahhh shit, is this instance based on his first life?
