Chapter 114 Hold Her to Sleep

Jiang Jibai followed his instructions and returned to his room.

Not long after, Gu Moyang brought over a thermometer and a box of antipyretic medicine.

He sat on the edge of the bed and took Jiang Jibai's temperature with a thermometer.

The screen showed a body temperature of 37.9 degrees.

"37.9 degrees, not too high. Take a fever-reducing pill and get a good night's sleep. It should be gone tomorrow."

Gu Moyang gave her another fever-reducing pill.

Bring water to her mouth.

Jiang Jibai glanced at the glass that was brought to his lips and then looked at him again, "I'm not disabled."

Under the warm light, his handsome facial features are very gentle.

"No, it has nothing to do with disability."

People are fragile when they are sick, both physically and mentally.

Jiang Jibai didn't want to argue with him any more, so he took the medicine, opened his mouth, held the rim of the cup he handed him, drank the water and swallowed the medicine.

The warm water running down my throat relieved the burning sensation a little.

Gu Moyang just looked at her obedient profile and the slight rise and fall of her slender neck.

How can someone be so cute even when drinking water?

After taking the medicine, Jiang Jibai slipped into the quilt.

The body feels comfortable as if being wrapped in warm water.

She glanced at Gu Moyang who was sitting by the bed and had not left yet.

"If you don't leave, I'm going to sleep."

"I want to stay with you." Gu Moyang sat on the edge of the bed and looked down at her flat face. "I'll sleep on the sofa in the living room. Please open the bedroom door. I won't disturb you, okay?"

"I'm not terminally ill."

Jiang Jibai felt that he was really worrying too much.

"I'm worried that if you want to drink some water, no one will pour it for you. I'm also worried that if your temperature rises again, you'll have to carry it yourself and I won't be by your side."

The lessons learned from previous years were a constant reminder and torment to him.

He just didn't want her to bear it alone, and he was particularly afraid that he wouldn't be by her side when she needed him.

Jiang Jibai turned his body sideways, his back facing him. "Whatever you want, just turn off the light for me. I'm going to sleep."

In such a vulnerable moment, she wanted someone to accompany her.

On those nights when she was awakened by nightmares alone, she also needed such a person.

Gu Moyang reached out and turned off the desk lamp, and the bedroom returned to darkness.

The light in the living room came on, and although it was dim, it still penetrated into the dark bedroom.

The fever-reducing medicine took effect and she was really a little sleepy.

Jiang Jibai seemed to have a dream at night.

I dreamed that I fell into a big furnace.

She seemed to have dreamed of Gu Moyang.

Gu Moyang hugged her from behind, and her back was pressed against his warm and firm chest.

And the solid weight of his arms on her.

Jiang Jibai moved restlessly, and the person behind her hugged her tighter.

He tucked a strand of her hair that was covering her face behind her ear, then bent down and gently kissed the hair at her temples.

"Jiang Nuannuan, be good."

Jiang Jibai felt dizzy and didn't know whether it was a dream or reality. The person behind her rubbed her ears, which made them feel a little itchy.

"Why are you here?" she murmured.

Gu Moyang chuckled softly, "Baby, you are dreaming. Go to sleep obediently, okay? I'll hold you while you sleep."

It turned out to be a dream.

Jiang Jibai continued to fall into a deep sleep.

The next morning.

When Jiang Jibai woke up, it was already dawn.

She forgot when she fell asleep last night.

But I slept well last night.

I no longer feel dizzy and feel refreshed.

Fragments of the past flashed through her mind, and her cheeks felt slightly hot.

How could I have such a dream?

Jiang Jibai glanced at the time and saw that it was already past ten in the morning. Was it so late?

She lifted the thin quilt, put on her shoes and got up.

He took short steps, with his tail held high, and followed her as she walked out of the bedroom.

She saw that Gu Moyang had already gotten up and was fiddling with a pot of jasmine flowers on the balcony.

Doesn't he have a company to manage?

Why do I feel so idle every day, like a retired old man?

Hearing the noise coming from the living room, Gu Moyang turned around and his eyes happened to fall on Jiang Jibai. She was wearing a set of printed pajamas, and the loose style made her look a little lazy.

Her hair was disheveled, as if she had just woken up, yet she looked adorable in a different way. At her feet, a fluffy kitten was squatting obediently.

This scene made Gu Moyang a little dazed, as if time had stopped at this moment.

This kind of scene was what he had always dreamed of, but now it appeared before his eyes, like an unreal dream.

After a long while, Gu Moyang came back to his senses. He stared at Jiang Jibai and said softly, "Go wash up first, and then have breakfast."

Jiang Jibai found the breakfast very rich.

There are plump crab roe buns, exquisite shrimp dumplings, waffles decorated with strawberries, blueberries and yogurt, soft-boiled eggs, a fruit platter and a cup of raw coconut latte.

Almost all of them are her favorites.

Jiang Jibai pulled out the dining chair and sat down.

Gu Moyang took her temperature with a thermometer.

"36.6, the fever has subsided."

He took her temperature once in the morning while she was still asleep, and found that there wasn't much change, so he was completely relieved.

Jiang Jibai picked up a round crab roe bun and ate it. The bun skin was very thin. When he took a bite, the crab roe inside flowed into his mouth with the soup, which was extremely delicious.

Gu Moyang sat down opposite her and watched her eat with her mouth like a squirrel.

Seeing him staring at him, Jiang Jibai put the last bite of the crab roe bun into his mouth and asked, "Have you eaten it?"

"I've already eaten."

"Are you Doraemon? Why can you conjure up so much food so early in the morning?"

Gu Moyang smiled, "I am Doraemon, and you are Nobita. I will always follow you."

Jiang Jibai pouted, that’s not what she wanted to say.

"Just eat your breakfast with peace of mind. I'll make you breakfast in different ways from now on."

He actually asked someone to buy these things early in the morning according to her preferences.

"I got up early, but seeing you were sleeping so soundly I didn't have the heart to wake you up, so I went out for a morning run and came back a few laps."

Gu Moyang took the initiative to report his itinerary.

"Morning run?" Jiang Jibai took a sip of coffee.

She remembered that Gu Moyang had the habit of exercising when he was in college.

I would take an hour almost every day to exercise and run, and sometimes I would drag her along.

It turns out that he still keeps this habit.

No wonder she maintains such a good figure.

Gu Moyang chuckled as he saw her ears slowly turning red.

"Yes, otherwise I'm afraid someone will dislike me in the future."

Jiang Jibai couldn't understand the deeper meaning behind his words. He glanced at her and said, "It's not me anyway."

Gu Moyang looked at her and replied randomly, "My Jiang Nuannuan is very generous. Even if you don't dislike me, I will dislike myself."

Jiang Jibai: "..."

"What do you want to eat for lunch? I'll make it for you."

I haven’t even finished breakfast yet, and it’s already noon.

Seeing Jiang Jibai didn't say anything, "How about ordering? Steamed turbot, boiled shrimp balls, pork ribs with preserved plums, blueberry yam, and almond tofu. What do you want?"

Jiang Jibai saw that he was talking about the names of the dishes enthusiastically.

She didn't know why Gu Moyang became a little talkative.

In the past, he always listened to her quietly.

"Whatever." Jiang Jibai only said two words

She lowered her head and looked at the shrimp dumplings in the bowl.

All of this is fleeting anyway.

She didn't want to indulge in it.

At this point, she can't turn back.
