Chapter 821: Chapter 825 Awkward Situation
She suddenly thought of the question Gu Junzhu had asked her days ago, “Do you know what love is?”
She still did not know what love was.
But now, she knew how important this man was to her.
Unconsciously, he was no longer just a simple partner to share daily life with; he had become one of the most important people in her life.
Seeing him blame himself caused her heart to ache.
Seeing him angry made her even angrier than he was.
Seeing him sad, she racked her brains thinking about how to cheer him up.
Seeing him tormented by pain, her heart felt like it was being torn apart.
At the graveyard, thinking he might be in danger, she left Xiao Shu behind a large rock by himself, even though Gu Chi was nearby to look after Xiao Shu. However, if it had been before, she would have never left Xiao Shu to care about another person.
Because before, Xiao Shu was her entire world.
But now, her world had one more person in it.
She couldn’t help but lean over and gently kissed him on the forehead.
Even the strongest people need the love and protection of their family.
From now on, he would be like Xiao Shu, someone she was willing to protect at all costs.
Ye Xingbei had not slept all night.
At dawn, seeing that Gu Junzhu was sleeping peacefully as usual, she could not stay awake any longer and finally closed her eyes.
When she woke up, she found that Gu Junzhu had not woken up yet, but his complexion was no longer ashen white, but flushed.
She felt a sense of dread and touched his forehead, only to find it alarmingly hot.
She quickly grabbed her phone and called Gu Chi to have a doctor come over.
After hanging up the phone and looking at Gu Junzhu’s closed eyes, she panicked and couldn’t help but touch his face and call out, “Gu Junzhu? Gu Junzhu?”
Gu Junzhu groggily opened his eyes, “Hmm?”
Seeing him open his eyes, Ye Xingbei’s heart calmed a bit, and she asked while stroking his forehead, “Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? You have a fever.”
“A fever?” Gu Junzhu was confused and slow to react.
Other than running a fever for a few days after being struck by shrapnel and undergoing surgery, he had not had a fever in a long time.
“Yes, you have a fever,” Ye Xingbei said, “I’ve already asked Xiao Chi to call a doctor. Where do you feel uncomfortable?”
Gu Junzhu’s reaction was dull, and after feeling for a moment, the overwhelming headache slowly surged in.
His head felt heavy, and any movement felt like there was a knife cutting inside, although the pain in his back was much better, and he moved a bit without affecting his mobility.
He slowly sat up, “It’s okay, the books say that fever is the immune system fighting; it’s a good thing.”
Although his face was flushed with fever and his spirit was somewhat languid, his thoughts were clear and he was even comforting her, which finally settled Ye Xingbei’s frantic heart.
But still, her heart ached.
“Why are you getting up? Lie down.” She tried to press him back down.
Gu Junzhu said, “I need to go to the restroom.”
Ye Xingbei awkwardly released her hand.
Gu Junzhu struggled to move his body, put on his shoes, and stood up, but Ye Xingbei saw his body sway violently.
Ye Xingbei, frightened, quickly came forward to support him, “I’ll help you there.”
She felt her face flush.
Gu Junzhu hadn’t gone to the bathroom all night, and given that he was going to the restroom now, she knew well what he intended to do.
Even though they had been intimately close before, as a refined woman, the thought of supporting a grown man to the restroom to urinate still made Ye Xingbei feel shy.
Gu Junzhu did not refuse.
He really couldn’t make it to the restroom by himself at this moment, and he was quite desperate.
