One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos Chapter 110 – Chapter 110: Chapter 87 Rude!

Chapter 110: Chapter 87 Rude!

After scoring, Gu Yan, who couldn't wait to turn to Ye Xiao to see her reaction, had his own expression stiffen first.

So the old man joke isn't going to end, huh?!

Gu Yan still looked over.

Ye Xiao blinked, waved her arms, and along with the family members beside her, screamed and cheered.

The corners of Gu Yan's lips couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile.

“Gu Yan, you can still shoot a three-pointer.”

“Is this what they mean by 'an old warhorse never fades'?”

Gu Yan also said with a smile, “You guys aren't too shabby either. Who said you haven't practiced basketball for a long time? It looks like you've been practicing secretly.”

“Hahaha.” The teammates all laughed along.

At that moment.

It was as if they were back to the days of many years ago, fighting side by side.

The basketball game continued.

The scores on both sides were closely rising.

Ye Xiao, who never watched basketball games, was thoroughly tense.

She joined everyone in cheering so much that she lost her voice.

Fortunately, Gu Yan's three-pointers were really accurate.

In the end, it was two consecutive three-pointers that reversed the situation and narrowly won by one point.

Cheers erupted all over the place.

“Damn, who would've thought that President Gu could play basketball so well?”

“I dug up some old videos of President Gu participating in national competitions, he was really impressive back then.”

“Their team used to be very strong, but it's been too many years since then. If it were in the past, our school team probably couldn't even score in the double digits.”

“Hahaha. I don't care who wins or loses, as long as the game is enjoyable to watch.”

In the midst of the cheering crowd.

Gu Yan walked over to Ye Xiao.

For some reason, Ye Xiao was slightly nervous.

Before they knew it, all eyes in the room had also focused on them.

Then.

Right in front of everyone.

Suddenly.

There was a snap.

He twisted his ankle.

Gu Yan was stunned.

He was just about to play it cool like the young folks!

And then…

Twisted his ankle?

Ye Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Gu Yan was completely numb.

Ye Xiao struggled to stand up, steadying Gu Yan.

Gu Yan was stubborn: “No need! Maybe it's just a bit of overexertion, it's not a big problem!”

“Just sit for a while,” Ye Xiao insisted, pushing him into a seat.

Gu Yan was visibly displeased: “It was just a full game, really it's nothing, for me, it's a piece of cake.”

“Right, right, a piece of cake, just an accident,” Ye Xiao said as she grabbed a bottle of ice water and placed it on his sprained ankle.

Ye Xiao was somewhat helpless.

[It's turned dark blue already! He can't possibly walk now, right? Calling an ambulance directly, isn't that a bit over the top? Let's ask others to help carry him… umm, Uncle Gu is such a prideful person, he probably won't agree.]

Gu Yan's face was tense as he said softly: “I'm fine. I can walk on my own, slowly.”

Gu Yan was very stubborn, and as soon as the pain eased a bit, he tried to stand up.

He wasn't happy when others offered to help.

Ye Xiao had no choice but to take over.

Gu Yan became a bit more compliant, but still a bit embarrassed: “Xiaoxiao, I'm really fine.”

“I know. But I'll still worry,” Ye Xiao said with the tone you'd use to soothe a child.

[No choice, I'll have to coddle him!]

Gu Yan felt a bit weary.

If he hadn't heard those thoughts, he could've been happier.

Ye Xiao supported Gu Yan all the way to the car at a leisurely pace. The driver was startled to see his boss in such a state.

Ye Xiao glanced at the time.

There was still some time before her afternoon class, and she was worried that Gu Yan would be stubborn and refuse to go to the hospital, so she followed him into the car: “Driver, to the hospital.”

The driver glanced at Gu Yan.

Gu Yan didn't dare to speak.

The driver quickly responded, “Okay.”

In the hospital.

After the examination, thankfully, it was just some sprains and no bone injuries. The doctor instructed that no strenuous exercises should be performed for the time being, prescribed some medicine, and then allowed them to go home.

Ye Xiao directly took him to the Gu Family's house.

Gu Cheng saw Gu Yan limping and couldn't help but be startled. “Brother?”

His always steady big brother was rarely in such a sorry state.

“It's nothing serious, just a twisted ankle. I've already sprayed some medicine on it, and it'll be fine after some rest,” Ye Xiao said. “Make sure you keep an eye on him, so he doesn't do any strenuous exercise.”

Gu Cheng hurriedly agreed.

Then.

He suddenly looked at Ye Xiao with suspicion, “Why are you the one bringing my big brother back?

Ye Xiao was about to speak.

Gu Yan said in a deep voice, “Gu Cheng, where are your manners?”

Gu Cheng was somewhat bewildered.

He hadn't said anything, so how was he being impolite?

“A perfectly good person, doing nothing but moping around at home. With such nice weather, why not go outside and enjoy the sunshine!” Gu Yan continued to scold.

Gu Cheng was about to explain that he had just returned from basking in the sun.

Gu Yan scolded again, “The house is a mess, and you don't even bother to tidy up.”

Gu Cheng:

The housekeepers had just cleaned up.

But Gu Cheng had come to a realization.

His big brother simply didn't want to see him.

As for the reason, that wasn't important.

Gu Cheng muttered reluctantly, “Then I'll head back to my room first…”

He was a nuisance here, he got it!

“Wait!” Ye Xiao suddenly called out to Gu Cheng.

Since she was here, she still wanted to give Gu Cheng a heads up.

“Hmm?” Gu Cheng looked at Ye Xiao with confusion.

Ye Xiao frowned, pondering how to start.

Due to system restrictions, there were many things she couldn't say directly.

So she would pick something she could talk about.

“Today. Uncle Gu went to a basketball game, and Bingtong went straight to him,” Ye Xiao said.

Gu Cheng's expression instantly turned cold.

Bingtong's matter had greatly hurt him, and he had almost stopped going out these days, spending all his time at home.

The people around him also barely dared to mention Bingtong's name for fear of upsetting him again.

This time, it was the first time he had heard Bingtong's name since they had called off the engagement.

Gu Yan's expression also became serious.

He understood what Ye Xiao meant.

Clearly, Bingtong intended to rekindle the old relationship.

But Gu Cheng had not yet fully let go.

If Gu Cheng saw Bingtong's current situation and felt sorry for her, accepting her again…

Then Gu Yan guaranteed that he would definitely beat up this younger brother.

“Heh,” Gu Yan said directly and unapologetically, “what's with that face? Is Bingtong's name some kind of forbidden word that can't be said? Look at Berlin, isn't he worse off than you? His fiancée even got pregnant with another man's child, yet he managed to cut through the mess quickly! And you, still looking like the whole world owes you something.”

Gu Cheng:

That hurt, big brother.

Ye Xiao:

That hurt, and it was her big brother who got stung.

Gu Cheng felt somewhat wronged, “Big brother, can't I just be upset for a while?”

He had blocked all of Bingtong's contact information; he never thought about getting back in touch with her.

But after so many years of feelings.

His heart was inevitably still a bit sad.

Was that not allowed?

Gu Yan sneered, “Bingtong came to see me today, meaning she wanted to meet you. She said she just wanted to say sorry to you. But she made it a point to let me see the bruises on her arm, implying she hasn't had a good time since she got with Pei Yue, playing the victim!”

“She hasn't had a good time?” Gu Cheng asked, somewhat confused.

“What does her well-being have to do with you?” Gu Yan frowned. “You'd best not go out these days either, to avoid that woman bothering you!”

[The female protagonist isn't so easy to deal with; these two will probably meet again eventually. When that happens, if Bingtong cries and Gu Cheng starts to feel sorry again, and then the male second lead steps in, followed by Pei Yue turning dark. Seven years later, he comes back as a CEO, and the tragedy repeats itself.] Ye Xiao couldn't help but sigh.

Gu Cheng's expression stiffened.
