Chapter 88 Just take care of yourself
As soon as Tu Subo finished speaking, he strode into the house holding Gu Yuexuan, and Li immediately brought a red-hot charcoal brazier.
"Quick, bring the charcoal brazier into the house, and I'll bring you another one!"
The cold stable gradually warmed up under the warmth of the charcoal basin. However, Gu Yuexuan, who was tightly wrapped in the quilt by Tu Subo, was still shivering uncontrollably.
Cold, endless cold.
Her hands were frozen like dead branches in winter, and her fingertips were stiff!
She struggled to touch the clothes, but every attempt only resulted in a large hand with bulging veins on her wrist.
Tu Subo's eyes flushed, and he said firmly, "You can't do this. I'll help you change."
By the time Gu Yuexuan stopped trembling, the water-soaked clothes were almost dry.
Gu Yuexuan was stunned for a moment. When she realized his intention, her tongue was tied and her words were vague: "But...but..."
"I'll cover my eyes and change them for you."
Tu Subo reached out and took off the black headband on his head, tied it in front of his eyes to block all his vision, and then held Gu Yuexuan's extremely cold hand.
"Xuanxuan, let me help you."
In the darkness, her sense of touch became extremely sharp. Rough fingers slid across her skin, and every touch caused goose bumps to surge like a tide.
Like a spark that ignites a prairie fire, every falling spark brings with it a burst of scorching heat.
Tu Subo mistakenly thought that she was shivering violently due to the cold, so he tried to speed up his movements as much as possible. However, Gu Yuexuan's reaction became more and more intense.
She was shaking uncontrollably, like a sieve. Where Tu Subo couldn't see, her face was flushed red, almost bleeding, and her body was so stiff that it was heartbreaking.
Tu Subo tore off the wet quilt and threw it on the ground. Then he grabbed his own quilt and wrapped Gu Yuexuan tightly from head to toe, hugging her still trembling body tightly.
He leaned his head close to Gu Yuexuan's ear, his voice as low as the undercurrent of midnight: "Gu Yuexuan."
"You should never take the risk of jumping into the waves alone to save others."
As Gu Yuexuan trembled uncontrollably, Tu Subo's anger was like underground magma, surging uncontrollably. His words were like heavy hammers, striking at her heart with each one.
"Do you realize how foolish it is to venture into the water in this dark night? Why didn't you call for help immediately? If something unfortunate were to happen, you would tell me..."
“But that’s a life…”
Gu Yuexuan had a bitter smile on her lips: "Tu Subo, that is a struggling life."
"I can't bear to let Tu Suminyang witness his biological mother sinking into the abyss of death..."
There have been enough disturbances tonight, and since she still has the strength to spare, she cannot remain indifferent to the life that is about to disappear.
Gu Yuexuan sighed helplessly, sniffed softly, and said, "From a moral point of view, Second Aunt has never done anything evil to me, how can I just sit back and do nothing?"
Fortunately, there was no danger in the end, otherwise...
"Even so, you shouldn't put yourself in danger."
Tu Subo firmly grasped her jaw with his hand, forcing her to turn her head and look at him. His words were clear and powerful: "Never allow something like this to happen again."
"Xuanxuan, you can't make me worry like this anymore."
Gu Yuexuan felt guilty when she saw the bloodshot in his eyes, her gaze wandering: "I..."
"Tu Subo, how is Xuanxuan?"
Li came to the door carrying the third charcoal basin and said worriedly, "I made some ginger soup to dispel the cold and warm the body. If Xuanxuan has changed her clothes, come out and give her a bowl. It's always good to drink some."
Gu Yuexuan felt like she had found a lifeline when she heard the voice. She gently twisted her head, broke free from Tu Subo's grasp, buried her head deep in the quilt, and whispered, "I want to drink something warm."
Tu Subo withdrew his hand expressionlessly, picked up his dry coat, wrapped it tightly around Gu Yuexuan, then turned and left.
Soon, he returned with a charcoal brazier and a bowl of steaming ginger soup.
Gu Yuexuan's hands were shaking so much that she could hardly control them, so Tu Subo simply sat down on the edge of the bed, wrapped his long arms around her waist, and held her and the quilt in his arms. With his other hand, he carefully passed the ginger soup to her lips.
"My mother said that ginger soup must be hot to be effective, so drink it slowly to avoid getting burned."
Gu Yuexuan drank a few sips with his support. Fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead. She shook her head weakly and said, "I can't drink any more."
Tu Subo frowned slightly, pursed his lips for a moment, and finally chose to remain silent.
He casually put the porcelain bowl aside, frowned, and gently stroked Gu Yuexuan's forehead.
"No fever."
Gu Yuexuan's eyes, which had become increasingly red due to the cold, narrowed slightly. She whispered softly, trying to comfort the other person: "I think it should be nothing serious. Just cover yourself up and have a good sleep, and you should be back to normal."
"By the way, when you went out just now, did you go to see Grandfather and Second Aunt?"
Compared to the possibility of catching a cold herself, she was more worried about the condition of her two relatives.
"Yes."
Tu Subo carefully pulled up the corner of the quilt that had slipped down, tucked it in tightly, and spoke calmly, "The doctor that Uncle San invited has arrived, and their conditions are stable."
"There are enough people to take care of it over there, you just need to focus on taking care of yourself."
This storm almost resulted in casualties. When the wind and snow stop, there will definitely be some turmoil in the family.
However, the person in front of us is far more important than those unknown storms.
He gently pressed the quilt down, letting Gu Yuexuan lie back comfortably on the bed. He carefully checked every corner that might have a draft, making sure there was nothing wrong. His slightly warm palm gently covered Gu Yuexuan's eyelids, domineeringly blocking her sight.
"I'm here to protect you, just relax and rest for a while."
Gu Yuexuan didn't want to fall asleep, but her sleepiness and willpower eventually gave way, and she finally drifted off to sleep under the covers. During this time, Xi Lanfang and Li took turns visiting her several times.
Tu Subo waited for a long time, until he was sure that Gu Yuexuan was asleep and temporarily safe, then he pushed the door open quietly and walked out.
The oil lamps were lit in every room.
The old grandfather was unable to recover immediately due to anger, so the old lady stayed in the house to wait for him.
Due to a series of incidents, Tu Suye never showed up, and the overall situation of the family was presided over by Tu Su Minfei.
He ignored Tu Suminyang's sobbing, but lowered his head to listen to the doctor's instructions, picked up the umbrella, and said gently: "Thank you for coming. I will accompany you out."
The old doctor sighed and said, "Luckily your mother was treated in time today. Otherwise, even a slight delay would have been disastrous. But you still need to be careful and cautious."
"Rest well in the coming days and remember not to injure yourself again, or it will become a chronic illness that will plague you for the rest of your life."
"I understand. I will keep your teachings in mind."
He escorted the old doctor to the door, turned around and walked straight towards Tu Subo who was squatting by the stove: "Brother."
"What's the matter?"
Tu Suminfei hesitated for a moment, glanced at the stable, took a deep breath, and then said, "Is my sister-in-law... okay?"
