Chapter 1051 Can’t Be Erased

"I'll wipe your body and then go to sleep." Gu Wanqiu was sweating and her body was sticky. Maybe she would sleep better after wiping her body.

"No...don't..." Gu Wanqiu nervously clutched the quilt and shrank into the corner.

Gong Qing frowned after seeing Gu Wanqiu's reaction. He didn't know if he was overthinking it. He felt that Gu Wanqiu today was very different from usual, and something was wrong.

Gu Wanqiu's face was red, and it was unclear whether it was because she was shy or sick. Maybe it was both. Gong Qing thought so, but missed another possibility, which was that she was guilty and nervous.

Gong Qing was confident that Gu Wanqiu would not lie to him, and that they would tell each other whatever was going on, and there would be no secrets between them.

He trusted Gu Wanqiu so much, but he forgot that he had hidden many things from her.

"I'll wipe your body. You've sweated so much. If you wipe it, your body will feel refreshed, and you'll be able to sleep more comfortably at night." Gong Qing thought Gu Wanqiu was shy and teased her a few times, "It's not like I haven't wiped you before. Are you shy?"

Gu Wanqiu's face was still very red, and even the tips of her ears were red from nervousness: "I won't... I won't wipe it off..."

She refused in a hoarse voice, and the rejection in her eyes made Gong Qing stand there in a daze.

Gu Wanqiu glanced cautiously at Gong Qing, then looked away and said, "My fever hasn't completely subsided yet. I'm sure I'll sweat again soon. Didn't the doctor say that sweating will make it easier to recover? I'll cover myself with the quilt and keep warm. It's useless for you to rub it now."

Gu Wanqiu tried hard to calm herself down and speak clearly so that people would be convinced.

Obviously, Gong Qing believed it.

"So that's how it is. I thought you rejected me and didn't want to be close to me..."

"How could that be?" Gu Wanqiu curled the corners of her lips and smiled. "You should go to bed soon. Don't stay in my room. I'm afraid I'll infect you too."

"It's not contagious. The doctor said you just have a common cold, not a virus."

"Then you can't stay here with me all the time. You've been tired for two days and you should have a good rest. Go to sleep now. I don't feel dizzy anymore, so I should be fine." Gu Wanqiu said quickly.

Gong Qing raised his eyebrows: "Are you really okay?"

"Yeah." Afraid that Gong Qing wouldn't believe her, Gu Wanqiu opened her eyes wide, trying to make herself look more energetic.

"I'm still a little worried..."

Gu Wanqiu asked cautiously: "You can sleep in the next room. It's not soundproof. If I need anything, I'll call you or tell you. Is this okay?"

Gu Wanqiu had said so, what else could Gong Qing say? Of course he would listen to her.

"Okay, I'm going to wash up. Remember to call me if you need anything."

"Well, don't worry."

Gu Wanqiu still looked weak, and how could he feel at ease with her like this?

After watching Gong Qing leave the room, Gu Wanqiu finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt less nervous.

Perhaps due to the effect of the medicine, Gu Wanqiu felt a little sleepy again. She fell asleep quickly. After her nose was no longer blocked, she could sleep more soundly.

After washing up, Gong Qing quietly came to Gu Wanqiu's room. Seeing that she was asleep, Gong Qing tidied up her quilt.

Gu Wanqiu, who was sleeping in the quilt, looked small, with an abnormally pale face, and looked lovable. Gong Qing couldn't take his eyes off her at first sight. He carefully moved closer to Gu Wanqiu's face, and just when their lips were about to touch, he heard a moan from Gu Wanqiu's mouth, and her mouth opened and closed as she talked in her sleep unconsciously.

“Don’t…let me go…”

Gong Qing's body stiffened and he slowly straightened up.

Gu Wanqiu had a nightmare again. Although she didn't remember anything about the past, she seemed to often recall things related to the past, but after waking up, she forgot everything and could not answer any questions.

Gong Qing gently wiped the cold sweat from Gu Wanqiu's forehead. Seeing a small wound on Gu Wanqiu's lip, he didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it was bitten by Gu Wanqiu herself.

Gu Wanqiu has a bad habit. When she feels unwell or is in a bad mood, she will subconsciously bite her lower lip. Sometimes she will bite her lips when she is thinking too much. I have corrected her many times, but she just can't change.

…

The next day, Gu Wanqiu woke up in a daze. She was sick and felt sore all over. It seemed as if all the bones in her body were falling apart.

Listening to the sounds coming from the kitchen, Gu Wanqiu pushed himself up and sat up.

What time is it now?

Gu Wanqiu searched for her cell phone and finally found it under her pillow. She took it out and saw that it was already eight o'clock.

She slept for a long time, sleeping on and off for a whole day and night.

After checking the time, Gu Wanqiu checked her body again. Her clothes were still neatly on and not turned up, and the injuries inside were well hidden.

That day, she was wearing long clothes and long pants and covered with a quilt, which covered her body with sweat. Her body was sticky and weak. If you smelled her up close, you could still smell the sweat.

She was so dirty that she couldn't stand herself.

After taking medicine and getting an injection, the cold has mostly healed. His nose is slightly blocked, but it is cleared after he stands up and moves around. Gu Wanqiu couldn't find a thermometer, so he could only touch his forehead with his hand to roughly test the temperature. His forehead was cooler than his palm, so it seemed that he had returned to normal.

Gu Wanqiu stood up, and as soon as her feet touched the ground, her brain began to dizzy uncontrollably. She sat back on the bed and closed her eyes. She opened her eyes only after the dizziness subsided.

Gong Qing stood at the door: "Are you up? It's still early, why don't you lie down again?"

"I've been lying down for too long, and my bones feel weak. I want to get out of bed and walk around, and wash up at the same time."

"If you want to go wash up, just call me and I'll take you there."

"I just have a cold, I'm not disabled. You are too cautious with me." Gu Wanqiu stood up, and this time she didn't feel dizzy anymore.

"I went to the bathroom to wash up and take a shower. I worked up a sweat and felt like I stunk."

"Do you want me to help you?"

"No, my fever has completely subsided. I'm not dizzy anymore. I can handle it myself."

Seeing that Gu Wanqiu's steps were still steady, Gong Qing didn't say anything more and just let her go.

"Then go wash up. You'll be ready for breakfast when you come out."

"What do you want to eat in the morning? I heard some noise coming from the kitchen early in the morning." Speaking of food, Gu Wanqiu looked more energetic.

"You're not fully recovered yet. The doctor told you to eat a light diet. I made some vegetable and lean meat porridge this morning and bought some shrimp dumplings. The noise is because I just butchered some pork for bone soup at noon. I'll check on the pot. You can take your time cleaning up. Don't worry. Call me if you need anything. Don't close the door to your room. I'm afraid I won't hear you from the kitchen."

Gong Qing has always been like this. When facing Gu Wanqiu, he gave all his patience, care and consideration to her and considered everything for her.

The better he treated her, the sadder Gu Wanqiu became, and the more she felt she was unworthy of his kindness.

He clutched the corner of his clothes tightly, lowered his head and replied, "Okay, I won't close the door."

After Gong Qing left, Gu Wanqiu took out a set of long shirt and trousers from the closet. The clothes had a high collar that could completely cover the neck.

After entering the bathroom, she closed the door and looked at herself in the mirror. She touched her face and finally her eyes fell on the wound on her lower lip.

When her fingertips touched it, she felt a tingling pain, and her brain seemed to have received some kind of reaction, and suddenly the scene of the man sucking and biting her lips hard last night flashed through her mind.

Gu Wanqiu staggered, her body shaking uncontrollably. She prepared herself mentally and ripped open her collar. After a whole day, the marks not only did not fade away, but became darker and darker, blue with purple, which looked very creepy. The mottled marks were like pieces of tattoos, piercing into the flesh and blood, and could never be washed off.

Gu Wanqiu pulled off the towel and wiped it vigorously, with ruthless strength in her hands, a revengeful self-torture, wanting to vent the pain in her heart, but no matter how hard she wiped, even if the skin was scratched and bleeding, there was no way to wipe it clean.

The strength in her hands dropped, and her arms drooped as if they had fallen off their shins. Looking at herself in the mirror, she saw herself, a self she hated so much.

Her body swayed a bit, and she supported herself on the sink in time, accidentally knocking over the toiletries bottle on it, making a crackling sound.

The small area was in chaos, and because of her miserable state, everything around her became worse.

"Wanqiu, what happened to you in there?"
