Chapter 36 I Don't Care
The next morning, Gu Cunxi woke up early. Looking at the person beside him, his heart became softer and more uneasy.
This kind of happiness is like stolen...
Gu Cunxi is not someone who will be carried away by love. She knows very well that the problem before her will one day break all the peace now. Chen Feng will never end his marriage with Pei Yin easily, and her parents' tradition will definitely not accept such feelings. She has to admit that she does not have the confidence to stand in front of her parents now! How can her parents accept it if she does not have the ability to give her happiness? How long can love alone last in such a realistic society? Once it encounters the barriers of reality, it can easily fall apart. It is not that she does not believe in Xiao Peiyin, but life is full of variables. Who can really remain unshakable in those moments that are mixed with many involuntary moments! She and Pei Yin have long passed the age of being content with love... All romantic love will eventually return to the dull daily life of firewood, rice, oil and salt. This is the most real!
Thinking of this, Gu Cunxi even hated himself a little bit. He was so weak that he couldn't even support Xiao Peiyin in the slightest!
"What are you thinking about? Why are your brows furrowed?" Xiao Peiyin woke up at some point and lay quietly beside Gu Cunxi. There was a lot of tenderness in her beautiful eyes. Xiao Peiyin made her heart instantly turn into a pool of clear water, reflecting the appearance of happiness, and ripples appeared.
"I'm thinking of you!" Gu Cunxi leaned over and kissed her forehead, saying softly
"Silly, I'm right here!"
"But... even if you are by my side, I will still miss you. This is something I can't control..."
Listening to Gu Cunxi's words, Xiao Peiyin's smile became more obvious. She liked Gu Cunxi's love words to her, obscure, straightforward, and full of affection.
"Pei Yin, can I be discharged from the hospital today?"
"Then... you have to listen to the doctor!"
"If the doctor says it's okay, will you take me home?"
Looking at Gu Cunxi acting coquettishly towards her, with her thin lips slightly raised and her eyes full of anticipation, Xiao Peiyin felt soft and itchy in her heart. Only Gu Cunxi could bring her such a sweet feeling.
"Yes! As long as the doctor nods, I will take you home!"
The door of the ward was pushed open, and a chaotic sound of footsteps was heard. The attending doctor walked in from outside and stood in front of the bed to check Gu Cunxi's injuries. "Well, you're recovering quite quickly. Is the headache still severe?"
Gu Cunxi just wanted to leave the hospital quickly. He answered the doctor without hesitation, "It doesn't hurt anymore, and I don't feel like vomiting. The only thing that hurts occasionally is the wound on my face. Doctor, can I be discharged?"
"Looking at the current condition, there's nothing serious. You can be discharged from the hospital. You still need to pay more attention to your daily life!"
Seeing the doctor nod in agreement, Gu Cunxi felt happy. She had been feeling very uncomfortable in the hospital for the past few days. She didn't even have any clean clothes. This was unbearable for her as she had obsessive-compulsive disorder. She could barely tolerate outer clothes, but underwear... not to mention her closeness with Pei Yin these days... Fortunately, Pei Yin didn't know, otherwise she would be embarrassed to death on the spot... Thinking of this, Gu Cunxi felt her cheeks getting hot.
Xiao Peiyin felt a little strange when she saw Gu Cunxi's sudden blush. She was fine just now, why was her face as red as an apple now? Was it because the air conditioner temperature was too high?
"Cunxi?"
"Um?"
"What's wrong with you? Is it hot in the room? Why is your face so red? Do you want me to turn down the air conditioner?"
“!!”
Gu Cunxi panicked for a moment and raised his hand to touch his cheek
Hot...
How can I explain this to Pei Yin without being embarrassed? She can't just say it's because she soiled her underwear, that's too embarrassing...
"Is it... red? Maybe the doctor was a little nervous when he came in just now."
"Pei Yin, let's pack up and go home. I don't want to stay here anymore!"
Gu Cunxi got up from the bed, picked up his clothes, and quickly walked into the bathroom. He breathed a sigh of relief the moment he closed the door. If he stayed any longer, his face would have turned red...
Xiao Peiyin was packing up while paying attention to the movements in the bathroom. It had been a long time since Gu Cunxi entered...
Does it take so long to change clothes? Will the injuries on my body be inconvenient... Xiao Peiyin thought about it, quickly walked to the door, knocked on it, and asked anxiously: "Cunxi, are you not changed yet? Do you need my help?"
Hiding in the bathroom, Gu Cunxi heard Pei Yin's voice outside, and the emotions that had just calmed down surged again. Help her change clothes! Gu Cunxi remembered the last time she was sick and Pei Yin helped her change clothes while she was asleep... Her face suddenly turned red again, and some images kept flashing in her mind uncontrollably, and her heart was beating like thunder...
"Cunxi? Why aren't you talking? Is everything okay?" Xiao Peiyin knocked on the bathroom door anxiously, feeling a little worried about Gu Cunxi's silence.
"Oh! No...it's okay, I'm done changing, I'll be right there..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Cunxi opened the door. Xiao Peiyin was standing at the door. The moment she saw Gu Cunxi, her frown relaxed.
"What took so long? I thought your wound was hurting again."
"Don't worry, because it's the old clothes from that day, the turtleneck sweater is a little difficult to put on, so the movements are a little slow! You are worried about me!" Gu Cunxi curled the corners of his mouth, unable to hide his smile
"No! Who would worry about you..." Xiao Peiyin turned around and left.
“Obviously there is!”
"Okay! Aren't we in a hurry to be discharged? Let's go!" Xiao Peiyin then noticed the old clothes on Gu Cunxi's body. The originally white shirt was dotted with dirt, and the blood at the collar had turned a little black. Her heart suddenly sank, and she felt the pain of being torn.
"Cunxi! I'm sorry, I was so careless and forgot to get you a set of clean clothes..."
Seeing Xiao Peiyin apologizing to him with a look of self-blame on her face, with too much apology in her eyes, Gu Cunxi couldn't bear it. He walked forward, took Xiao Peiyin's hand and pulled her into his arms, patting her back gently. He lowered his head and kissed Peiyin's cheek tenderly, with a little tenderness. This time it had nothing to do with desire, but simply wanted to comfort the woman in front of him.
She put her lips to Xiao Peiyin's ear and said, "Although I am a mysophobe, I want you to stay by my side more than clean clothes, Peiyin! Never say sorry, I can wear dirty and old clothes! None of these are as important as you!"
Her voice was infinitely gentle, and as soft as cotton fell into Xiao Peiyin's ears.
"Okay, let's stop talking about this and go home!"
After saying that, Gu Cunxi took Xiao Peiyin's hand and walked out the door. The two walked hand in hand in the hospital corridor. People passing by looked back from time to time. Gu Cunxi noticed the eyes cast at them, not knowing whether they were kind or malicious. Thinking of the woman next to him, Gu Cunxi gradually withdrew his hand, keeping a normal distance. Feeling the warmth in his hand withdraw, Xiao Peiyin's heart was slightly startled and then became empty.
Gu Cunxi noticed Xiao Peiyin's emotions and turned to her, "I don't mean anything else. Although I really want to face everyone holding hands with you, I don't want you to endure those strange looks. Although this is inevitable, at least for now... I don't want to!"
Xiao Peiyin remained silent for a long time, and the two walked out side by side. Gu Cunxi's originally bright mood became a little depressed. For a moment, she felt the warmth in her palm. She was stunned for a moment, turned her head to look at Xiao Peiyin, and then held her outstretched hand tighter with her backhand, clasping her fingers tightly together.
"Didn't we agree to face this together? I'm not that fragile. Since it's unavoidable, there's no need to avoid it. I don't care what others think of me. Those strange and malicious eyes can't separate you and me!"
Xiao Peiyin rubbed her fingertips and interlocked her fingers tightly with Gu Cunxi's
