Chapter 453: 453 Saved you and you bite me back? (2)_1
Hearing Gu Tianyu’s question, did he really go to the rooftop by coincidence?
"I..." I tried to recall the memory before I fell asleep, but it was a bit difficult and my head ached a little.
"From your condition, you were probably drugged with something like ether, then carried to the rooftop," he concluded.
"How did you know?" Eleven was shocked.
"What else could it be?" he laughed, "Would you sleep on the rooftop for no reason? Thankfully, the drugs were potent, leading to a deep sleep hence, you didn’t turn. Otherwise, you would’ve died without any awareness. In your sleep, suddenly, ’bang’, it would have happened in an instant, but after that, you wouldn’t have felt anything because you would’ve already been dead."
Listening to his words, Eleven was a bit spooked. Goosebumps sprouted all over her body.
Yes, she would have died without any awareness. If there are indeed spirits in this world, she wouldn’t even know how she died as it watched its ephemeral hand, utterly clueless.
Aren’t there a lot of shows that portrayed it this way?
"Now that you put it like that... I remember something. I think I came here to buy Jiu—" she suddenly stopped.
The children had been studying at the Yan Xi Dojo for a while; remembering they didn’t have uniforms yet, she came to the trade center to see if she could buy a suitable pair.
Of course, she couldn’t mention JiuJiu in front of Gu Tianyu. Although he had just saved her, some things were better left untold.
"I came here to buy wine or something, the house needs some supplies," she smoothly changed the subject, "But then how did I... "
As she pondered, a scene suddenly flashed through her mind.
"I went to the restroom! And then... my memory cuts off."
"When was this?"
Eleven shook her head, "I don’t know... All I remember is that when I left home for the trade center, it was around half-past eight in the morning. I don’t remember when I went to the restroom."
Gu Tianyu then made a phone call.
It seemed like he was calling the trade center’s manager, asking for the surveillance footage from the restroom area around that time.
"Are you feeling better now?"
"Much better..." Eleven let out a sigh of relief, "I seem to be recovering. But thinking back, it’s still kinda terrifying. Maybe... If you hadn’t shown up, my body might soon have been lying in the middle of the road."
"So, would you say I’m your lifesaver?"
"Uh... I suppose you are, how shall I repay you?"
Speaking of repaying debts, she still owed Gu Liancheng one. He hadn’t asked her for anything up until now. Because of this outstanding debt, she felt there was still some connection between them, an unresolved bond.
Now she owed Gu Tianyu as well, and had no idea what he might ask for.
She couldn’t help but feel that businessmen like them wouldn’t let themselves be at a disadvantage.
He made another phone call, and soon an assistant-like person came in from outside the coffee shop. He asked him, "Is there any good place to eat around here?"
"If you’re thinking nearby, there is a Korean barbecue in this trade center. It’s rather good, young master. However, at this time... without a reservation, I’m not sure if there are any available seats."
Eleven listened and thought it was pretty interesting.
For the wealthy young masters like them to not find a seat in a restaurant, wasn’t it quite amusing?
"Korean barbecue, want it?"
"Sure, I’ll treat." Would that be considered repaying the favor?
