Chapter 71 Charming Mrs. Gu Chen Song's hands trembled...
Chen Song's hand trembled, and the porridge spilled from Gu Xingjue's mouth, sliding down his chin and dripping onto the quilt. Gu Xingjue paused, his throat pounding with the pain, his breathing becoming irregular. The pain from the wound tugged at his brow, but he endured it.
Chen Song thought he was scalded by the porridge, so he quickly took out two tissues to wipe his skin. His technique was gentle, like scratching his heart, causing another throbbing sensation.
Gu Xingjue's Adam's apple moved uncontrollably, and he looked at Chen Song with a burning gaze. Chen Song forced himself not to care, his half-closed eyes quietly fixed on Gu Xingjue's plump, moist lips. The scorching gaze in his peripheral vision enveloped him, igniting his protective shell layer by layer.
Chen Song exhaled lightly, and his fingertips unconsciously clenched the tissue, as if he wanted to use this little bit of force to wipe away the ripples in his heart.
Chen Song always pretends to be calm and indifferent. When he has no expression on his face, he always looks indifferent, like a daunting iceberg.
The atmosphere in the ward was icy and chilly, as if frozen by him. Tang Shihe sensed something was amiss and chuckled, trying to atone for her inappropriate remarks.
Chen Song had already wiped the porridge from Gu Xingjue's mouth, retracted his hand and threw the tissue into the trash can. When he opened his mouth to answer, Gu Xingjue spoke before him.
"No, Auntie. I'm the one who's still bothering him. I'll stop bothering him once I recover."
His tone was heavy with a hint of sadness.
Gu Xing didn't want to hear Chen Song's cold, resolute words again. Every time he heard them, it felt like a knife piercing his heart. So he took the initiative to speak up, thinking it might make him feel better. But once he actually said it, he realized it hadn't alleviated the pain at all; instead, it had intensified it.
Chen Song paused while holding the porridge, blinked slowly, and continued to pick up the paper bowl. The paper wall was warm, but not as warm as before.
Tang Shihe suddenly forgot what she was going to say, which made things even more awkward. She coughed dryly and said, "Ah, then... well, eat more food. It'll get cold soon."
Lu Yuan was enjoying the show from the side, and Tang Shihe glared at him.
The two acted as if nothing had happened, Chen Song feeding and Gu Xingjue eating. Chen Song still remembered Gu Xingjue's taste, and the food he picked out was all to his liking.
Seeing that both of them were silent and the silence in the ward was really depressing, Tang Shihe found a few other topics to chat with Chen Song about family matters and did not ask any other embarrassing questions.
After Chen Song fed Gu Xingjue, he filled his own stomach. Chen Song didn't have much appetite and didn't eat much. After the three people took turns to persuade him, he finished the bowl of porridge.
"So, are you not going to work these days?" Tang Shihe asked. "If you're sick, you should have sick leave. Do you want to come home and live with us?"
"I'm fine, Auntie. I haven't been working these past two days. I just came to visit."
"Well, take care of yourself. Call me and tell me what you want to eat. I'll cook for you two for the next two days. You need to nourish your bodies."
"Okay." Chen Song put the chopsticks back into the box and started to clean up.
"Let me do it while you rest." Tang Shihe took the small bowl from Chen Song's hand, "And Xiaojue, tell Songsong what you want to eat, and I'll make it."
"Thank you, Auntie." Gu Xingjue smiled brightly, looking like the good kid that parents always like.
Tang Shihe cleared the tableware, gave Chen Song a few instructions, and then led Lu Yuan away.
Only Gu Xingjue and Chen Song were left in the room.
"Then you should have a good rest. If nothing else, I'll leave first." Chen Song broke the silence first.
Gu Xingjue was very happy that Chen Song took the initiative to talk to him, but he felt an indescribable feeling when Chen Song said he was leaving as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Then... go back and take care of yourself. Get some rest."
"Okay. You should get some rest too." Gu Xingjue looked at Chen Song's thin frame. The hospital gown fluttered around him, just like a person. He lowered his eyes to look at Chen Song's slippers, which were still worn inside out. He couldn't help but reach out to help him put them on properly, but his wound wouldn't allow it, so he could only let it fall in mid-air.
Chen Song came in such a hurry that he didn't notice it for a moment. Now that he noticed it, he awkwardly adjusted his slippers and then stood up and left.
Gu Xingjue stared at Chen Song's back eagerly, and suddenly groaned. Chen Song immediately turned around and walked back to ask, "What's wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Gu Xingjue suppressed the smile on his face and said in a hissing voice, "It's okay...it's just, can you help me turn my head?"
"Okay." Chen Song breathed a sigh of relief, held Gu Xingjue's head with both hands and turned him to the side.
The technique was skillful and quick, and before Gu Xingjue could savor the cool, smooth and soft fingers, it was over, leaving him feeling itchy and reluctant to leave.
He thought Chen Song would be as slow as Gu Yiming.
"Are you feeling any worse?"
Chen Song leaned over and asked, his handsome face so close, the smell of disinfectant on the hospital gown soaked with his unique fragrance lingering on Gu Xingjue's nose, making him distracted, and he... got hard.
After separating from Chen Song, he had been abstinent for a long time, always suppressing a lingering fire that he had nowhere to vent. He could only relieve it by reminiscing about the days and nights they had spent together.
Gu Xingjue's breathing trembled slightly, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately closed his eyes and stammered, "No, no. Go back and have a good rest."
Gu Xingjue didn't know why he was in his twenties but still felt as embarrassed as a 17 or 18-year-old boy. He was indeed uncomfortable down there, but he didn't dare say it out loud.
By then, the relationship between him and Chen Song, which had just eased, would be back to square one, and he would be in tears. Although he really wanted to tease Chen Song, he couldn't anger Chen Song right now, so he could only suppress his anger.
Chen Song felt something strange about Gu Xingjue, but he didn't think much about it. He just said okay and left.
When they reached the door, Gu Xingjue called him again: "Chen Song. Will you come tomorrow?"
"Um."
Chen Song responded and walked out the door. After taking a few steps, he recalled the meaning of the glint in Gu Xingjue's eyes.
That was the spring scene when Gu Xingjue was in love and desire was beginning to arise.
Chen Song was walking in the corridor, feeling a little stuffy in his chest.
…
Gu Xingjue hadn't seen Chen Song for two days. Tang Shihe brought him food by herself, without Chen Song or Lu Yuan.
Gu Xingjue asked Lu Yuan why he didn't come, and then turned to Chen Song. Tang Shihe said that Lu Yuan was busy with work, and Chen Song was also busy with work.
In order to make Gu Xingjue feel better, Tang Shihe was really busy with work, especially Zhou Shudie's affairs.
Gu Xingjue said that it was okay, but he couldn't help feeling disappointed.
On the third day, Chen Song finally arrived, but he didn't come alone; he brought two people with him.
Gu Yiming gave his seat to Chen Song, made an excuse for himself, saying that he had something to do at the company, and left tactfully.
"Mr. Gu, these are the supplements my father asked me to bring you to comfort you about your injuries." Su Rou glanced at Ye Wenzhou, and Ye Wenzhou put the four gift boxes in his hands on the cabinet together.
"Is this your fiancé who studies medicine?" Gu Xingjue looked at Ye Wenzhou.
"Yeah. We're childhood sweethearts, I guess." Su Rou responded and put the flowers in her hand on the cabinet.
After Ye Wenzhou put the gift box away, he walked behind Chen Song and said to Gu Xingjue with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Gu. I'm Su Rou's fiancé and Ye Mingzhe's son. Xiaorou has been in Vancouver recently, so she came with me to check on you on behalf of the elders."
Ye Wenzhou's hands were sweating as he spoke nervously. His future father-in-law had postponed his contract with the new shareholder of his hospital. He'd mentioned this to his father, who'd called him from out of town and immediately asked if he was at the hospital. Then, the two insisted that he and Su Rou, who'd recently visited him, come visit.
Ye Wenzhou had seen Gu Xingjue once or twice, both times when he came to find Chen Song. He looked at him from afar. He didn't know if it was because of his serious injuries, but he always felt that this person had a very strong aura. His whole body and eyebrows revealed a cold and stern feeling that kept strangers away. He was someone who was not easy to mess with.
Ye Wenzhou was most afraid of dealing with people like this, and had to be very cautious and reserved. So Ye Wenzhou asked Chen Song to bring him here. Chen Song knew him, and it was much easier for them to talk together.
"Well, say thank you to them for my trouble. I'm already very happy that you can come." Gu Xingjue kept looking at Chen Song while saying this.
Gu Xingjue has been feeling much better these past few days and can now sit up straight, but he can't sit for too long or lean on anything. He only sits for a while when eating.
Chen Song set up a small dining table for him and helped him set lunch, as if he didn't hear the hidden meaning in his words.
Ye Wenzhou felt much more relaxed and felt that Mr. Gu was much more humble and approachable than he had imagined.
"Where is your wife? You were seriously injured, but your wife didn't come to take care of you. Aren't you two very loving?" Su Rou asked.
As soon as Su Rou came in, she looked around and didn't see any other woman except herself.
At the dinner party, her good friend Liu Yuran fell in love with Gu Xingjue at first sight, and Liu's father also wanted to bring them together.
But Gu Xingjue showed the ring on his ring finger, announcing that he was already in a relationship, and only then did Liu's father give up. Liu Yuran was also lost for a long time.
Su Rou had heard of this Mr. Gu, the eldest son of the renowned Gu family in North City. He had been a playboy and a dissolute dandy in his early years, but now he was a mature and stable industry elite. He said he came to South City for his wife's sake.
Su Rou came here this time, in large part, to see how the woman behind Mr. Gu could be so beautiful that she could control a man like Mr. Gu and turn him into a complete wife slave. When discussing cooperation, she had a cold face, but when talking about his wife, her eyes were full of tenderness.
As a result, no one showed up.
"Yes, yes, where is Mr. Gu's wife. I heard Xiaorou talk about how loving you two are. You have been together for more than four years and you are still so sweet." Ye Wenzhou also joined in.
Gu Xingjue looked at Chen Song meaningfully, and curled the corners of his lips: "Here I am, I've been taking care of you."
Chen Song's hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly, and the chopsticks fell back into the lunch box.
"Where is she? We're here to visit, and it would be a shame not to visit Mrs. Gu. We'll get scolded when we go back," Su Rou joked.
Chen Song's face was calm and still, with a blush slowly spreading across his ears. Gu Xingjue's gaze was like the summer heat before the June rain, which made him so stuffy that a thin layer of sweat appeared all over his body.
"Where is it? Please introduce her to us, Mr. Gu." Ye Wenzhou said happily, "She must be a great beauty, maybe a celebrity, hahahaha."
The smile in Gu Xingjue's eyes was wantonly and ostentatiously expressed: "My wife is prettier than a star."
He deliberately put emphasis on those two words, like a passionate whisper, rubbing against Chen Song's ears.
Chen Song's heartbeat quickened, his face grew hot, and his breathing became irregular. He knew Gu Xingjue was teasing him, and he thought he could remain calm, but a subtle throbbing still welled up in his heart.
Perhaps it was because Gu Xingjue's voice was too sweet when he was talking about love, or perhaps it was because he had never heard Gu Xingjue be so blatantly affectionate in front of others. Gu Xingjue had never called her "wife" like that before, and it sounded so disturbing.
"Eat, eat." Chen Song handed the chopsticks to Gu Xingjue, "The food will get cold later."
Gu Xingjue's brows relaxed, and he said weakly, "My hand hurts..."
Chen Song was afraid that he would show something again, so he immediately picked up the chopsticks to help him pick up the food: "Okay, I'll feed you, eat first."
"Mr. Gu's words make me even more curious. Did she go out for something? When will she come back? Why hasn't she come back yet? I really want to see it. How beautiful is it?" Su Rou glanced outside the door and didn't notice that Chen Song was trying to change the subject.
Gu Xingjue smiled, knowing that Chen Song was the most shameless in this regard. Seeing that Chen Song was about to get angry, he immediately withdrew: "Then you came at the wrong time. He has been taking care of me lately and it has been hard. I am worried that he is tired and I feel bad for him, so I let him go back and rest first."
"Ah..." Ye Wenzhou sighed, "We missed each other by such a coincidence. Let's meet next time we have a chance."
Su Rou had to meet this Mrs. Gu, because with the filter of her best friend, she always had to see this Mrs. Gu with her own eyes and then comfort her best friend, "Oh, I've seen her, she's not as pretty as you."
"How about this, Mr. Gu," Su Rou said, "We're getting married on the 27th of next month. I'll invite you and the charming Mrs. Gu to come. How do you think?"
"Mr. Gu should be able to be discharged by then, right, Doctor Chen?"
Chen Song was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses: "...Well, if the situation is good, it should be possible."
"That's good. How about Mr. Gu coming?"
