Her Bodyguard
墨書 Inktalez
I am Gu Ning's bodyguard and also her boyfriend.
In the evening, after spending more than three hours preparing dinner, I saw Gu Ning rushing over with a panicked expression.
"Qin Yang got into an accident, hurry and take me to the hospital!" Qin Yang is her first love.
"You haven't eaten yet, have something to eat first..."
"I don't have time to eat right now!" Gu Ning impatiently interrupted me. Her tone was filled with obvious irritation and reproach, as if blaming me for only thinking about food.
After saying that, she quickly walked outside. I hesitated for half a second but still picked up the car keys and followed her.
Qin Yang wasn't seriously injured, but he had hemophilia and a rare blood type, so the blood bank was in urgent need of donations, making the situation critical.
Gu Ning poked my arm, "Mu Yan, I remember you are also RH Negative Blood, you need to donate blood to Qin Yang!"
I clenched my fist and silently looked at her. It's just a blood donation; it won't kill me and I can replenish it quickly. My breath caught in my throat.
When she said this, she didn't even look at me; her attention was entirely on Qin Yang.
She completely forgot that I was her boyfriend.
Then she urged the nurse to take me for a blood draw as if Qin Yang would die any second later.
After donating blood and returning to the ward, I saw Gu Ning sitting by Qin Yang's bedside, her gaze filled with affection as she held his hand and said, " Yang, you must get better."
I was taken aback and stepped out of the ward, standing in the corridor. The cold white light shone down on me. I am a servant of the the Gu Family and later followed Father Gu's arrangement to be Gu Ning's bodyguard for eight years.
One night, Gu Ning got drunk at a social event, and I helped her back to her room. She kissed me first, and then we ended up having relations. Afterwards, she asked me to be her boyfriend, and I agreed because I had secretly loved her for eight years.
I remember when I was fifteen, an old servant at home insisted that I help him wash his underwear. When I refused, he beat me half to death.
Lying on the ground, barely conscious, I saw Gu Ning walk over. She was wearing a beautiful little dress, delicate like a little princess, squatting in front of me and applying ointment to my wounds.
That was the first time I looked at Gu Ning up close. I didn't even dare to breathe too hard, fearing that the warm air I exhaled would disturb her. After applying the medicine, she smiled and placed a candy in my hand. "If it hurts, eat this strawberry-flavored candy; it's very sweet." That was the first time I tasted candy, and indeed it was very sweet. For all these years, I never refused any request she made, loyal like a dog. There was a time when I was about to undergo surgery for appendicitis; she called me, and I got off the operating table to find her.
Gu Ning and Qin Yang were childhood friends who had once been together but broke up due to a long-distance relationship. Three months ago, Qin Yang returned from abroad. Before Qin Yang came back, Gu Ning would have me accompany her to go horseback riding, skiing, and dining at couple's restaurants.
Aside from not being able to be public about it, we did everything that couples do.
She would also post on social media, although I never appeared in those posts. The day before yesterday, I accidentally looked at her phone and found out that those affectionate posts were only visible to Qin Yang.
She was just using me to provoke Qin Yang. Even the clothes and shoes she gave me were all brands that Qin Yang liked.
When dawn broke, Gu Ning came out of the hospital room and instructed me to buy breakfast. Seeing me standing still, she seemed to finally realize that something was off with my mood.
She tugged at my hand gently and said, "You know that Qin Yang grew up with me; his family is not here in the country, so only I can take care of him."
I nodded and went to buy her favorite soup dumplings and soy milk before returning to the hospital room.
Gu Ning frowned and complained, "Mu Yan, how can you not handle such a small matter? You know Qin Yang can't eat greasy food right now; don't you?"
I raised the soup dumpling towards her, but my hand froze in mid-air. Qin Yang spoke up, "Ning Ning, it's okay."
Gu Ning snatched the soup dumpling and soy milk from my hand. "Forget it."
She glanced at me and said, "You go back first. I want to stay in the hospital to take care of Qin Yang."
I bit my lip, swallowing the bitterness, and left the ward.
When I returned home, I looked at the entire table of cold dishes, each one a favorite of Gu Ning's.
I took a cake out of the fridge.
Actually, today is my birthday.
But she has forgotten.
At noon, I carried a thermos to the hospital and paused at the door when I heard conversations coming from inside the ward.
Through the crack in the door, I could see several people gathered around the bedside.
"Qin Yang and Ning Ning are truly a match made in heaven."
"Ning Ning, you have no idea how deeply Qin Yang cares for you. Ever since you broke up, he has been waiting for you."
Someone questioned, "Ning Ning, don't you have a boyfriend? Didn't you break up?"
Gu Ning's Best Friend immediately replied, "What are you talking about? He’s just a bodyguard, nothing more. His status is so lowly that he doesn’t deserve our Ning Ning!"
"Exactly! His dad is an alcoholic and his mom is a dancer. They consider him a burden and sold him to the the Gu Family. He needs to understand his own place!"
Gu Ning looked at Qin Yang, her little face flushed red. "I don’t have a boyfriend."
Suddenly, I remembered that night when she lay in my arms, blushing as she shyly said she liked me.
I suppressed the emotions surging within me and walked in with stiff steps, placing the thermos on the table.
