No, if this continues, he really won't be able to hold back.
A hot-blooded young man naturally has very weak self-control when facing a girl he really likes. He endured it so much that the veins on his arms bulged and some sweat appeared on his forehead.
Just then, the doorbell rang. He took a breath and calmed himself down before going out to open the door.
The person who entered was a very capable woman. She was carrying a medicine box and said to Gu Minhang very respectfully, "Young Master, where do you feel unwell?"
Women are like family doctors, skilled in medicine, and most importantly, they keep their mouths shut and won't talk nonsense.
"It wasn't me, it was my girlfriend. She suddenly had a stomachache while eating and fainted from the pain. You need to go and check on her."
When Gu Minhang blurted out the word "girlfriend," the woman's mouth dropped open in surprise, her face filled with disbelief. However, she only paused for a moment before following Gu Minhang into the room.
Looking at the girl lying on the bed, she was amazed by her appearance, but the most important thing was to check her first.
After checking, her expression was a little strange. She checked twice but found nothing unusual.
Gu Minhang could clearly see her expression.
"What's wrong?"
“Young Master, we haven’t found any cause for the illness. If the patient’s stomach hurts while eating, we can’t rule out the possibility of food incompatibility. But I’ve examined her carefully, and from her condition, I haven’t found anything else that could be caused by food incompatibility…” The woman’s heart was in her throat.
This was the first time she had encountered such a situation. She couldn't find anything, but the patient's condition was undeniable. She was even a little worried that she might get fired.
Gu Minhang didn't make things difficult for her; he simply told her to leave: "Go back now."
The woman was surprised for a moment, but quickly picked up her medicine box and left.
Gu Minhang looked at Liu Nian sleeping peacefully on the bed. Her complexion had returned to normal, rosy and radiant.
He knew that she was just asleep and not uncomfortable.
However… why she suddenly became like this, and how long she will remain asleep, are things he cannot yet find out. He can only wait for her to wake up, and one day she will tell him on her own. He is not in a hurry.
Liu Nian slept for more than a month this time, and Gu Minhang asked her to take a long leave of absence from school on the grounds that she was unwell.
During this period, Gu Minhang paid close attention to Liu Nian at all times except when he was working, eating, or sleeping. He noticed that Liu Nian's complexion was getting better and better, her appearance was becoming more and more beautiful, and her skin was very radiant.
Every time he noticed a change in her appearance, his heart would flutter inexplicably.
He longed for the passing years to wake up and tell him what was going on.
That evening, Gu Minhang started working as usual. In the quiet bedroom, only the sound of his typing could be heard, and the warm light illuminated his handsome features.
He looked very serious, but there was a hint of worry between his brows.
Suddenly, a soft groan reached his ears, and his hands, which were rapidly typing on the keyboard, paused. He looked up sharply at the bed, his eyes shining with a bright yet tender light.
He immediately got up and went to the bedside, looking at the little person on the bed, and the two looked at each other.
At this moment, Liu Nian was searching her memory, trying to figure out how long she had slept. Unexpectedly, the first person she saw upon waking was Gu Minhang!
Neither of them spoke; they simply stared at each other, waiting for the other to speak first.
Because of its long slumber, Liu Nian was in exceptionally good spirits, with bright, sparkling eyes that made her instantly likable, including Gu Minhang.
He looked at Liu Nian, and after only a minute of eye contact, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you alright? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
Liu Nian was surprised that his first question was about her, which warmed her heart.
"I'm fine! Thank you for taking care of me these past few days, Gu Minhang." She spoke lightly, smiling at him.
Gu Minhang didn't share her mindset. His expression was rather unpleasant. He wanted to ask her something, but in the end, he decided to let Liu Nian tell him herself. Anyway, he would believe whatever she said.
Are you hungry?
Liu Nian shook his head. "Not hungry."
The atmosphere suddenly became subtle.
Liu Nian decided not to hide it any longer. Gu Minhang already had some suspicions, and she couldn't let him continue to have doubts, lest there be too many misunderstandings and delays in her mission.
"Let me take a shower first, I need to talk to you about something."
"Okay." Gu Minhang smiled and gently touched Liu Nian's hair. "I'll go run you some water."
Liu Nian is currently at Gu Minhang's house and sleeping in his bed. If she wants to take a shower, she will naturally have to use Gu Minhang's bathroom.
After Gu Minhang filled the tub with water for her, he thoughtfully added a rose-scented bubble salt before leaving and bringing over an unopened set of women's bathrobes, which he placed aside.
After he tested the water temperature, he went out to call Liu Nian in to take a bath.
Liu Nian was extremely languid, leaning limply against the headboard. Her hair, which had been pressed down for a long time, was a little messy and loosely draped over her shoulders, making her look like she hadn't woken up yet.
When Gu Minhang came out, he saw her lazy appearance and looked at her gently, saying, "Niannian, the water is ready, go take a bath."
Liu Nian hummed in agreement, yawned, and then went to the bathroom.
When she finished her bath, Gu Minhang had also finished his work and was quietly sitting on the sofa in the bedroom waiting for Liu Nian to come out.
He was very excited inside, but his face remained calm. When he saw Liu Nian come out, he just smiled at her gently.
Looking at his smile, Liu Nian's heart pounded. Gu Minhang was really too handsome. Even when he wasn't smiling, he was already captivating, but when he smiled, he could truly steal her soul.
