Chapter 216: Chapter 216: Mengmeng Ties Herself Up Chapter 216: Chapter 216: Mengmeng Ties Herself Up Over here, Gu Zhihan was physically in the classroom, but his mind was still in the hospital ward.
“Hey, Gu Zhihan, you’ve come to class, but why hasn’t Mengmeng? Hasn’t she recovered from her illness yet?” Tong Mo hurried over to ask.
Lu Zichen also asked, “Yes, how is she doing now?”
Jiang Yibai asked, “Have you found out what disease Luo Mengmeng got?”
In the past few days when Mengmeng had a fever, they had all visited her, but at the time, they didn’t know what disease Mengmeng had contracted.
Being pestered by these people made Gu Zhihan’s head nearly explode. He didn’t want to pay them any attention, but in order to get some peace, he still said, “She caught chickenpox.”
Tong Mo and the others exchanged looks, all seeing the surprise in each other’s eyes.
How did she catch chickenpox out of the blue?
After Gu Zhihan briefly explained the situation to them, he didn’t say much more. After school, he skipped the night self-study and rushed back to the hospital.
When he returned, Luo Mengmeng was sleeping.
Only, her two hands were tied together with a rope.
Gu Zhihan’s brows furrowed at once, and he quickly pressed the bell to call a nurse over.
“Why is she tied up , who did this?”
The nurse hurriedly said, “It was the young lady herself who requested it; she feared she might unconsciously scratch her chickenpox in her sleep and leave scars.”
So that’s how it was.
Gu Zhihan finally breathed a sigh of relief, “I see, thank you.”
“You’re welcome, if there’s anything else, you can ring the bell anytime to find me,” said the nurse before she walked out.
Gu Zhihan walked over to Luo Mengmeng, stared at the rope on her wrists, then gazed at her sleeping face. He couldn’t help but sigh, “I can’t believe you came up with such a rotten idea…”
While scolding, he reached out to untie the rope on her wrists.
Her skin, already delicate, now had a ring of purple bruises from the rope.
He couldn’t help but mutter again, gripping her small hand tightly.
Perhaps his voice was a bit loud, as Mengmeng woke up. She blinked her sleepy eyes and asked, “Why are you calling me stupid again?”
“Who else but a stupid person would think of tying themselves up?” Gu Zhihan snorted.
Luo Mengmeng felt a bit guilty, “Wasn’t it necessary under the circumstances?”
Gu’s parents were both busy doctors and couldn’t possibly watch over her all the time.
As for her own parents, they were workaholics and wouldn’t stay by her side either.
The caretaker hadn’t been found.
So she had had no choice but to resort to this last ditch strategy.
“Don’t ever do this again, it looks ridiculous,” Gu Zhihan’s voice softened a bit, “I will continue to take leave for the next few days and stay with you.”
Mengmeng’s eyes immediately lit up, but then dimmed again as she rejected his offer, “No, what if you get infected?”
Although she wanted to see him at every moment, she wished for his health even more.
Gu Zhihan couldn’t help but tap her forehead, saying, “If I were really going to get infected, then by now, I would probably already have caught it. I don’t mind getting it a second time. If I haven’t been infected, it means your virus isn’t enough to infect me, so it’s no problem if I stay with you a bit longer.”
It seemed to make sense…
Luo Mengmeng nodded at once and then hugged him tight, burying her head in his chest, “Husband, you’re so good.”
“Don’t get the wrong idea; I only feel like I have some responsibility for you getting chickenpox,” Gu Zhihan said proudly, but he didn’t push her away.
After all, it was he who had suggested she go rest on the side that day.
If it hadn’t been for him, she wouldn’t have indirectly helped the old lady with chickenpox and wouldn’t have been infected.
