Living together.

Guan Nianwei lay in bed thinking for a long time but couldn't figure out why they had to live together, especially when she was sick. She couldn't think of any reason to let a sick person stay and live together. But she didn't dare to agree blindly, even though she had found that she liked Dongyu.

Living together is something that deserves careful consideration, especially when Dongyu is of extraordinary status and she likes Dongyu, she needs to figure out the reason for living together.

Guan Nianwei couldn't help but get nervous. She gently scratched the sheets with her hands under the quilt, trying to relieve some of her nervousness. She forced herself to be alert and asked carefully, "Boss Dong, why do we have to live together?"

Has she discovered something, or is there another reason?

This was the first time she liked someone—a god. She had no experience, so she was worried that she had exposed her feelings invisibly, or that Dongyu had used some magic to detect the voice deep in her heart.

It’s hard to like a person, and it’s even harder to like a god.

When Guan Nianwei thought about this, she suddenly felt even more tired, and her body instantly became weaker.

Dong Yu said slowly, "If Secretary Guan stays at home to recuperate, he will have more opportunities to interact with your mother, which will make it difficult for me to use magic to be by your side at any time."

If Guan Nianwei was awake, she could help her block Guan's mother. But she was afraid that she would run into Guan Nianwei during her rest time. What if she teleported to Guan Nianwei's room at this time and ran into Guan's mother who was taking care of her daughter?

Although she could use the method of memory erasure, she would find it troublesome if it was used too many times on the same person. Instead of that, it would be better to let Guan Nianwei live in her house and let her take care of her and protect her once and for all.

This would greatly reduce the risk to Guan's mother's life - her daughter Zhishan was being coveted by the fierce ghosts.

She was not afraid of the fierce ghost besieging Guan Nianwei outside, but she was afraid that the fierce ghost would break into her house and swallow her mother as well.

"And I promised to protect Secretary Guan well." Dong Yu said.

She would do what she promised, and she didn't want to see Guan Nianwei disappointed.

Dong Yu's tone was so sincere that Guan Nianwei's heart couldn't help but ripple a little, and her mind was dazed.

Before she realized that she liked Dong Yu, she felt extremely relieved when she heard these words, and subconsciously believed that Dong Yu was as reliable as a mountain.

After she found out that she liked Dongyu, she had a different feeling in her mind when she heard this sentence. Her heart would beat faster uncontrollably, her heart would surge, her mood would brighten, and become brighter.

——It is such a touching thing to be protected by the person you love.

Guan Nianwei was happy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She just blushed quietly, looked away, and said "hmm" in a forced calm manner: "Thank you, President Dong."

Unexpectedly, Dong Yu changed the subject: "Or is it that Secretary Guan doesn't want to live with me?"

Although the current situation is special, if Guan Nianwei really insists on leaving, she will not force Guan Nianwei to stay. She has always been willing to respect all of Guan Nianwei's choices because she believes that Guan Nianwei is not someone who will cause trouble for others.

Dong Yu: Secretary Guan is a sensible kid who won’t cause any trouble for us.

Guan Nianwei was stunned for a moment after being misunderstood. Suddenly, she felt a surge of strength in her body and hurriedly stood up to defend herself: "I didn't, Mr. Dong, please don't misunderstand me—"

"Lie down." Dong Yu quickly reached out and pressed her shoulder, not too hard or too soft, as if he was afraid of hurting her. He interrupted her again and pushed her back to the bed, "Secretary Guan is still sick. You need to lie down and rest. Don't move around."

Guan Nianwei frowned. Without glasses, she couldn't see Dongyu's expression clearly, and thus couldn't guess Dongyu's current mood. But even so, she was determined to explain: "It's not that I don't want to live with you, please don't misunderstand. I just want to know the reason. After all, this is something that bothers you."

She was very worried that Dongyu would misunderstand that she didn't like being with her, and then he would really stop interacting with her from now on and even change his secretary.

Dongyu will change his secretary.

After this thought popped into her mind, Guan Nianwei's mood, which had just been climbing up, became like a roller coaster. After turning a corner, it immediately rushed down madly, heading straight to the bottom, and at the same time, it made her head buzz with pain.

She doesn't want Dongyu to change his secretary

She can do better

Dong Yu saw Guan Nianwei's little face was red even though she was sick, and she was anxious to get up to explain to him. Somehow, he was touched by her cuteness.

Dong Yu's eyes unconsciously showed a smile, and her gaze became as gentle as water. She couldn't help but start to wonder, are all mortals nowadays as cute as Secretary Guan?

No, among all the mortals she had met, only Secretary Guan was so cute.

Dong Yu thought about it and simply gave Guan Nianwei the title of "the cutest person in the world" in his heart.

Dongyu: My secretary is the cutest, no mortal can compare to her.

Dong Yu smiled and said, "It's good as long as Secretary Guan doesn't hate me."

It's really good.

Guan Nianwei grabbed the quilt, looked in her direction, and nodded vigorously.

Dong Yu's smile deepened and he smiled gently. The hand on her shoulder moved to her cheek, and stopped suddenly when it was about to touch her face.

At this moment, she remembered what she had promised the secretary to inform her before he touched her.

It was different from the time when she hugged Guan Nianwei before. At that time, Guan Nianwei needed a sister's embrace, so she could hug her. Now that she was sick, she didn't need a sister's embrace or touch at all. Touching her without her consent at this time seemed like taking advantage of her.

But she touched her forehead and face so many times to check her temperature when she was asleep. Doesn't she have to report this to her?

Dong Yu's hand froze beside Guan Nianwei's cheek, neither moving forward nor backward, leaving Guan Nianwei confused.

What does Mr. Dong want to do?

Did she want to touch her face or slap her?

Guan Nianwei, who is just beginning to fall in love, has an extremely wild imagination and is prone to daydreaming. She even lists the possibility in her mind that Dong Yu wants to twist her head off.

Then she heard Dongyu say very honestly: "Secretary Guan, I held you when you fainted."

It was she who personally brought Guan Nianwei back and settled her down.

Guan Nianwei pretended to be calm while listening, but she couldn't calm down at all in her heart - why did Mr. Dong tell me this? ? ?

Dong Yu continued, "During that time, I also touched your face to check the temperature of your forehead."

Guan Nianwei: “….”

What's wrong with the tone of your report?

Finally, Dong Yu asked seriously, "I didn't get your permission for all this, do you mind?"

If she minds, she will never touch her without permission again, unless the situation is extremely urgent and there is no one else for Guan Nianwei to choose.

Guan Nianwei paused and suddenly realized!

The next second, Dong Yu's palm suddenly felt warm - Guan Nianwei took the initiative to lean her face into her palm.

A warm breath gently swept over Dongyu's hand. That was Guan Nianwei's temperature at this moment. Dongyu couldn't help but be startled, and a subtle feeling emerged in his heart.

"Mr. Dong, you can do whatever you want. I don't mind," Guan Nianwei said weakly, with a hint of shyness in her words.

Dongyu hugged her and touched her forehead for her own good, so why should she mind?

Moreover, she is no longer the Guan Nianwei who first knew Dongyu's identity. Now she likes Dongyu, and likes every touch and every consideration of Dongyu towards her, so she can accept whatever Dongyu does to her.

Dong Yu smiled when he heard this, and gently stroked her face with his palm: "Thank you Secretary Guan for not minding." Then he touched her forehead and said, "The fever hasn't subsided much, Secretary Guan still needs to rest well and take medicine."

Guan Nianwei nodded.

Dongyu asked, "Are you hungry, Secretary Guan? Do you want to eat something before going to sleep?"

But Guan Nianwei had no appetite now. There were only two things that could arouse her interest: talking to Dong Yu and sleeping.

Dongyu noticed that she had no interest in eating. Although he understood that she had no appetite due to illness, he still insisted that she eat some porridge before going to bed, considering her physical condition.

"Secretary Guan, be good and just eat a little. Don't be hungry." Dong Yu suddenly coaxed her.

Dongyu was very skilled at coaxing people. Guan Nianwei guessed that this was all learned from her previous experience of taking care of her younger brothers and sisters. Although she was happy to be coaxed by her, she couldn't be happy when she thought that she was coaxing her as if she were her younger sister.

Being treated as sisters means that they will never be able to be together in this life.

But what is she thinking about?

Even if Dongyu treated her as Guan Nianwei, their status and position alone meant that the two of them were destined to never be together.

Besides, the great princess of the heaven was willing to treat her like a younger sister, so how could she be unhappy? This was better than being just a cold secretary in Dongyu's place.

Guan Nianwei enlightened herself, pulled the corners of her lips, and smiled at Dongyu: "Okay"

Guan Nianwei took a nap on the bed. Ten minutes later, Dong Yu came in with a bowl of hot porridge, woke her up, and said he would feed her the porridge himself.

Dongyu: "Your hands and feet are weak, don't force it."

Guan Nianwei's mind couldn't help but be excited by this proposal. Logically, she should refuse to trouble her boss, but her selfishness did not allow her to refuse. It overcame her reason and took the dominant position, making her obediently get up and lean against the head of the bed, drinking every mouthful of porridge handed to her by Dongyu with a submissive look.

Dongyu was very considerate and blew the porridge to cool it down before bringing it to her mouth and patiently fed her.

Every time Guan Nianwei drank a sip, she would feel a little more powerful. From time to time, she would raise her gentle eyes and glance at Dongyu quietly. Dongyu sat very close to her, so close that she could see her facial features and every subtle expression without wearing glasses.

A light mist floated on the surface of the porridge, lightly passing over Dong Yu's delicate face, as if opening a soft filter for her, adding a touch of softness to her distinct outlines.

She is as bright and flawless as a white jade plate in the sky, and also like an incomparable ray of white moonlight that shines silently on people's hearts.

And this incomparable white moonlight has now completely occupied Guan Nianwei's heart, easily moving her heart and making her fall in love with him.

Guan Nianwei couldn't help but think: No one will not love her, no one can reject her.

Just like the conclusion she came to last night: Dongyu is simply the perfect object of admiration.

Guan Nianwei lowered her long eyelashes, pursed her lips and said nothing, her ten fingers unconsciously twisted together.

So she failed to keep her heart, and so she fell.

So what should she do now? Should she accept her fate and let herself sink deeper and deeper, or should she withdraw as soon as possible and not surrender so easily to her love for Dongyu?

She thought about it and found that she didn't know what to do. She had never done such a multiple-choice question before and had no experience. She was afraid that she would choose the wrong answer and let Dongyu get further and further away from her.

She didn't expect Dongyu's response, but she didn't want to see Dongyu alienate herself.

Suddenly, a spoon with porridge on it was stretched out in front of her. She slowly raised her eyes, her gaze fell on the hand holding the handle of the spoon, and then moved little by little, inch by inch, to the pair of golden eyes.

Her image was reflected there, only her.

Guan Nianwei was stunned for a moment.

Dong Yu's red lips moved: "What is Secretary Guan thinking about?"

Guan Nianwei came back to her senses in an instant and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Dong, I was a little distracted just now." Then she opened her mouth, took one end of the spoon, and drank the porridge she had blown cool.

The moment she saw Dong Yu's eyes, she suddenly found the answer - she lost.

She suddenly realized that it was good to be the "only one" in Dongyu's eyes for a short moment.

So she was willing to admit defeat.

Or, give in for now.

This is her first time to like someone, and she still has a lot to learn, so why not start with "secret love"? Maybe when she is proficient in "secret love", she will want to open up to Dongyu.

As long as she can let it go, she is still the winner.

So, let her admit defeat temporarily and let her continue to like Dongyu secretly without letting Dongyu know.

Dongyu didn't say anything about her distracted behavior and continued to feed her porridge silently and patiently.

Instead, Guan Nianwei forced a topic to avoid an awkward atmosphere: "Did you make this porridge? It's delicious."

But it is really delicious, with a soft and tender texture and moderate saltiness, so you can still eat this porridge even if you have no appetite for food.

Dong Yu blew on the porridge in the spoon, scraped the bottom of the spoon gently on the edge of the bowl, and then brought it to her lips and answered frankly: "No."

She can beat people, but she can't cook. She is even worse than Zhaoyue. However, she is more self-aware than Zhaoyue. She won't do it if she can't do it and will never harm others.

There are fairy slaves in her house who come out at regular times to clean the house, wash clothes and cook for her, a bit like their housekeeping in the mortal world. But housekeeping is not like fairy slaves who serve people and can come whenever the gods have extra needs. The fairy slaves will also be very considerate and not disturb her private time.

Guan Nianwei's porridge was made by her little fairy slave, who then ran away after making it.

Guan Nianwei said "Oh" with understanding, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Dong."

Dongyu looked at her: "Hmm?"

It's fine, why thank her?

Guan Nianwei sincerely expressed her gratitude: "Thank you, President Dong, for taking care of me personally." She then asked, "Aren't you going back to work?"

Dong Yu said: "I can be anywhere now."

Guan Nianwei blinked and asked subconsciously: "Will it not be the same in the future?"

As soon as she said this, she realized her rudeness. When she was about to save the situation, she heard Dong Yu say "hmm" lightly.

"I might be busy in the future." Dong Yu said.

Guan Nianwei couldn't help but look at her, but was blocked by her calm expression: "Drink porridge."

Guan Nianwei couldn't help but put a question mark in her mind.

What will Mr. Dong be busy with in the future?

Could it be that she is going back to inherit the Heavenly Palace? !

But judging from her calm expression, that doesn't seem to be the case. So what is she busy with?

Guan Nianwei was troubled for a while but decided not to worry about it anymore. No matter what Dongyu wanted to do in the future, she was not qualified to ask. What she had to do now was to help Dongyu deal with Sanchi's affairs and not be chosen by His Majesty the Emperor to inherit the Heavenly Court.

There is one more thing - she needs to work harder and do better so that Dongyu won't think of changing his secretary.

She said she would eat just a little, but under Dongyu's coaxing and feeding, Guan Nianwei still obediently finished the bowl of porridge. Dongyu touched her head with satisfaction and praised her for being a good child.

Dongyu handed her a glass of warm water, touched her forehead, and said, "Secretary Guan, you should have a good rest."

"Stay here with me and don't go anywhere."

"Okay." Guan Nianwei responded with a smile, then she remembered something and asked hesitantly, "Boss Dong, can you give me my phone so I can talk to my mom on WeChat?"

Dongyu agreed, stood up and took out her cell phone from her bag. Guan Nianwei also specifically asked her to bring her glasses as well.

Guan Nianwei put on her glasses. Because she didn't want to tell Guan Hui about her illness and make her worry, she made up an excuse and left a message to Guan Hui on WeChat.

[Guan Nianwei]: Mom, a friend of mine came back from abroad and asked me to stay with her for a few days. I won’t be going back these days.

[Guan Nianwei]: You are alone at home, don't forget to bring your keys when you go out at night

[Mom]: Okay, then be careful when you go out to play and stay safe.

[Mom]: When will you come back to get your clothes?

When Guan Nianwei saw this, she was stunned. Yes, this is Dongyu's home, where did she get the clothes? The height difference between Dongyu and her was obvious, and her clothes were obviously not suitable for her.

But at this moment, Guan Nianwei suddenly remembered that she had stuffed two sets of clothes into her sleeves as a backup before going out this morning.

This is really a rainy day preparation!

The clothing problem was solved instantly.

[Guan Nianwei]: No, I have clothes, don't worry.

[Mom]: Okay, then have fun and eat well.

[Guan Nianwei]: OK

After all the follow-up matters were dealt with, Guan Nianwei tiredly put down her phone, took off her glasses, and frowned. The moment her whole body relaxed, she felt unprecedented fatigue.

She couldn't help but wonder, why is it so tiring to be sick?

Seeing this, Dongyu considerately put away her phone and glasses, covered her with a blanket, and said softly, "Have a good rest. Call me if you need anything."

Guan Nianwei nodded obediently and slowly closed her heavy eyelids.

This time, she didn't dream about anything and slept soundly.

Guan Nianwei slept until about seven in the evening. When she woke up again, the headache had finally disappeared, but she was still dazed. When she opened her eyes and looked into the dark room, she felt a bit dazed as if she didn't know what day it was.

She reached out to touch the bedside lamp, but when she didn't find the switch in the familiar place, she realized that she was not at home. She patted her head and fumbled in the dark. With a "click", the orange-yellow bedside light suddenly pierced the darkness in front of her eyes.

Dongyu placed her glasses and cell phone on the bedside table so that they would be easily accessible when she woke up.

Guan Nianwei put on her glasses, looked at the time, and suddenly coughed twice. Her throat began to ache.

I want to drink water.

She stood up in a daze, her brain not yet fully clear, and she held on to the wall, opened the door and walked out of the room. The moment the bright and dazzling light outside suddenly came towards her, she instinctively closed her eyes and opened them only after she could adapt.

A rich man's house - that was her first impression.

The house where Dongyu lives is very spacious. The living room has excellent lighting. Through the two large transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the high-rise buildings and the hustle and bustle of the city outside, a prosperous scene.

Then she saw Dongyu walking towards her.

Dongyu asked as they walked, "Secretary Guan, are you feeling better?"

Guan Nianwei took her hand off the wall and walked towards her, nodding. Unexpectedly, her knees suddenly went weak and her soft body lost balance and fell forward. If Dong Yu hadn't used magic to move and hug her in time, she would have performed a "kneeling down to pay homage to the ancestors" trick for her on the spot.

Dong Yu put his arm around her waist, pulled her into his arms, and asked with concern, "Is Secretary Guan okay?"

Guan Nianwei put her arm around her awkwardly, looked away, shook her head, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm fine, thank you, President Dong..."

Guan Nianwei noticed that Dong Yu's gaze was still on her. She was worried that if she continued to look at her like that, her face would immediately burn, so she said weakly, "Boss Dong, I want to drink some water..."

Dong Yu agreed, and without saying anything, he picked her up horizontally. This frightened her, and she subconsciously hugged Dong Yu's shoulders and said anxiously: "Mr. Dong, what are you doing! Put me down quickly, I'm very heavy!"

What if Dongyu gets tired from holding her?

Dong Yu didn't even take a breath, and even looked at her in confusion: "But Secretary Guan is not as heavy as my sword?"

If she can lift the sword, how can I not be able to hold her?

Besides, her legs are weak now, so it would be faster to carry her than to support her - Secretary Guan said she doesn't mind.

Guan Nianwei was speechless: "..."

Sorry, I forgot you are always the God of War.

Dongyu carried her to sit on the sofa. Before pouring her some water, he said, "Secretary Guan should eat more. She is too thin."

Guan Nianwei: “…”

She held her forehead speechlessly. Dong Yu always said that she was thin. What else could she do? She could only go back and eat more.

Dong Yu personally poured her a glass of water, called the fairy slave to cook for her, and then sat beside her gracefully and said, "Secretary Guan, I've thought about it and I don't think you should live with me while you're sick."

Guan Nianwei's hand holding the cup froze.

Dongyu: "You should live with me until the situation at Ghost Mountain is settled."

Guan Nianwei: “???”

You are trying to kill someone who has a crush on you!
