At the critical moment, Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin still stood by Gu Fan's side.
Regardless of whether they were annoyed by Qin Muyu's abrupt collision just now, they were now on the same side as Gu Fan!
Of course, it couldn't be said that they didn't want to race, which was the most fundamental reason.
Both of them were really not used to the ultra-high speed and had a sense of fear.
"Handsome guy, how about a race!" Qin Muyu, ignoring Chen Jiaxin and Chu Xiaowei, pulled up next to Gu Fan and said with a smile.
"No interest!" Gu Fan said indifferently.
"Handsome guy, you are a man, after all. I, a woman, have come to challenge you. You have no interest at all? Are you not up to it?" Qin Muyu said with a coquettish laugh.
"You are very optimistic!" Gu Fan remained indifferent and did not get angry because he was called "not up to it."
Whether or not he was up to it wasn't something that could be said, but something that had to be done. She hadn't tried, so how could she know he wasn't up to it? Therefore, there was no need for him to get angry.
"What do you mean!" Gu Fan's words seemed to be off the mark.
"Nothing, anyway, you don't have many days left. It's meaningless to be angry with you!" Gu Fan shook his head slightly and said indifferently.
However, a hint of surprise flashed in Gu Fan's eyes.
He didn't expect to encounter someone with such a constitution. This was truly a case of heaven envying talent! It was a pity, really a pity.
Qin Muyu was struck as if by lightning, her entire body seeming to freeze.
The car speed also uncontrollably slowed down.
She was quickly left behind by Gu Fan.
"Hey, strange! Why did she suddenly slow down? Brother Gu Fan, although this person is quite annoying, wasn't what you said just now a bit too much? You actually cursed her to have only a few days left to live!" Chen Jiaxin was very kind-hearted.
"I was just speaking the truth!" Gu Fan said indifferently.
"Speaking the truth?" Chen Jiaxin was surprised, and Chu Xiaowei was also full of doubt.
The beautiful woman just now didn't seem like someone with a short lifespan at all!
At this moment, in the red sports car, the dazed Qin Muyu finally slowly came to her senses.
It wasn't that Qin Muyu had poor psychological resilience, but rather that Gu Fan's words had been too powerful. They had hit her right where it hurt.
She had suffered from a strange illness since childhood, which would flare up every year on her birthday.
Each birthday was like a death sentence!
Moreover, this illness would erupt completely when she turned twenty-two, taking her life!
So, she had known since childhood that she only had twenty-two years to live!
And now, there were only three days left until her twenty-second birthday.
This time, she had gone out without any specific destination, just wanting to find a remote forest and die quietly. She didn't want to see her parents, who had worried so much about her, sad.
As for that faint, unreachable hope, she had long given up on it.
But now, Gu Fan's words had revealed her current situation, leaving Qin Muyu truly astonished.
Her eyes then burst with a dazzling light.
"When I was eight, my great-grandfather found an old doctor. Although the old doctor was helpless with my illness, he gave me a glimmer of hope. He said that if I met a certain person, my illness could be cured! Could this person be the one the old doctor spoke of? My destined true love?" Qin Muyu muttered to herself, then stepped on the gas, and the car sped off. No matter what, she had to get to the bottom of it.
In a desperate situation, even a tiny ray of hope could not be abandoned.
With only three days left to live, what was the harm in going all out?
Gu Fan's car was faster than the others, but not so fast as to terrify Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin.
So, when Qin Muyu increased her speed and caught up with Gu Fan, it was no surprise.
Gu Fan frowned slightly.
Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin giggled and said, "She's here for revenge! Cursing her to have only a few days left, there must be a price to pay!"
Gu Fan didn't bother to argue; he hadn't lied. This beautiful woman indeed had only a few days left to live.
In fact, it should be within three days. Gu Fan had that much discernment.
Because she had a congenital yin-sha constitution!
And those with a congenital yin-sha constitution could live at most to the age of twenty-two!
For this illness, this congenital ailment, Gu Fan had no solution.
Even if a divine doctor could bring the dead back to life and restore flesh to bones, and even alter the decree of the King of Hell, to change someone's fate was still too difficult. At least, the current Gu Fan couldn't do it.
"Gu Fan!" Qin Muyu kept her car speed in line with Gu Fan's and shouted.
"Hey, how do you know Brother Gu Fan's name!" Chen Jiaxin was surprised. No one had mentioned it before, right? Could this person know Gu Fan?
Chu Xiaowei was also full of doubt, unable to understand.
Hearing Chen Jiaxin's words, a flush appeared on Qin Muyu's face.
Sure enough, it's Gu Fan, it's Gu Fan, it's really Gu Fan!
Gu Fan was also extremely surprised, wondering how Qin Muyu could know his name.
"The old doctor Xunzhen told me that my true hope in life lies with a person named Gu Fan. He is my destined true love. You are Gu Fan, right?" Qin Muyu shouted.
Gu Fan almost lost control of the steering wheel, his face full of surprise.
"Old Doctor Xunzhen! Are you sure it's Xunzhen?" Gu Fan looked at Qin Muyu in the red sports car, surprised.
"It can't be wrong!" Qin Muyu nodded firmly.
Gu Fan slapped his forehead, speechless.
Master, what are you up to! A congenital yin-sha constitution is incurable. How could you say I could give her hope? And a destined true love? Did you casually find a wife for me?
Moreover, you never mentioned this to me! I really can't understand!
"Gu Fan, it's you, it's you, right? I knew it, I knew it. Since Old Doctor Xunzhen said you are my destined true love, you would definitely appear. I only have three days left, just three days. I should have stayed home to wait for death, but I came out, I drove out, and I met you. This is fate, this is fate." Qin Muyu was so excited that her words were incoherent.
Gu Fan looked at Qin Muyu with a complex expression and said, "Let's stop at the next service area!"
"Okay, okay, okay!" Qin Muyu nodded excitedly.
She originally didn't believe anything from when she was eight.
Even though she was only eight at the time, due to her family, she understood a lot and knew how serious her illness was.
But besides mentioning the true love Gu Fan, the old doctor also provided some specific treatment methods!
Without these methods, the annual yin-sha flare-ups would be even more painful, and whether she could survive to the maximum age of twenty-two was questionable.
So, after experiencing the old doctor's magic every year, his words became deeply rooted in Qin Muyu's heart.
No one could understand the mindset with which Qin Muyu waited for this hope. No one could understand her disappointment when this hope didn't appear.
She and her family had made efforts, searching for someone named Gu Fan nationwide.
But in the vast sea of people, there were too many people named Gu Fan. The old doctor hadn't given any specific information, such as age, making it impossible to find him.
Even with her family's great resources, it was impossible to find the real Gu Fan in the vast sea of people.
So, when she finally met Gu Fan, her excitement was incomprehensible to anyone.
This was not just a glimmer of hope but also a nearly fourteen-year-long expectation.
Fourteen years of expectation, once truly realized, could anyone remain calm?
As for the outcome, Qin Muyu wasn't worried at all.
The old doctor was a god. If he said Gu Fan could bring hope, then there was definitely hope. The old doctor wouldn't lie!
However, unlike Qin Muyu's confidence, Gu Fan was truly worried.
Even divine doctors have their limits!
Especially now, with Gu Fan only mastering the second needle of the nine divine needles, he had no confidence at all in treating a congenital yin-sha constitution.
Moreover, even his master couldn't treat this illness!
Why say that?
Isn't it simple?
If his master could treat it, wouldn't he have treated her? Why leave any hope in Gu Fan?
If even his master couldn't treat it, why did he think Gu Fan could?
Although Gu Fan believed he would eventually surpass his master in every way.
But now, no matter how proud Gu Fan was, he had to admit that he was still far behind his master in many aspects.
Gu Fan really wanted to ask his master, what were you thinking.
But unfortunately, his master, who had retired to the ancestral tomb, could not be disturbed. Unless he gave him real hope... otherwise, the hundred-year limit would be broken!
Gu Fan could only smile bitterly and decided to carefully examine Qin Muyu's condition before making a decision.
Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin were so surprised they didn't know what to say.
First, Gu Fan mysteriously said the beautiful woman had only a few days left to live. Not only did she not get angry, but she chased after them and called out Gu Fan's name, as if Gu Fan's words had revealed his name to her.
Then it got even more fantastical, with the old doctor and the destined true love!
Most shockingly, the beautiful woman really only had three days left to live!
All of this left Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin both amazed and puzzled!
"Brother Gu Fan, does this beautiful sister really only have three days left?" Chen Jiaxin looked at Qin Muyu, who was driving alongside them, her face a bit somber.
With only three days left to live, she wondered what her own mindset would be. Would she still smile so naturally and beautifully?
Was she not afraid of death?
