After learning that Gu Yixian was actually Hua Baixian, Gu Liyan finally felt relieved. It turned out that everything was destined for them to meet again.
Recently, Gu Yixian noticed that Gu Liyan seemed to be getting more and more sleepy, and every time she changed his dressing, she found that his wounds did not improve at all.
Gu Yixian, despite having read countless books, could not find the cause of Gu Liyan's incurable wound symptom...
Today, at dawn.
Gu Liyan suddenly woke up with a start, sitting up abruptly while clutching his injured hand. Cold sweat immediately beaded on his forehead, and he gritted his teeth.
The pain pierced his nerves, a tingling, itchy sensation, as if countless ants were gnawing at his hand...
Unable to recall how long the pain lasted, Gu Liyan suddenly heard a rooster crow, and his expression immediately changed. He quickly lay down and pretended to sleep.
At this moment, Gu Yixian woke up slowly to the sound of the rooster crowing. She rubbed her eyes, sat up slowly, stretched, and turned her head to look at Gu Liyan, who was curled up in a ball with his back to her. She was amused by his cute sleeping posture and said, "Good morning, little fox!"
She then got up and changed her clothes, and casually tucked the blanket around Gu Liyan. However, when she touched Gu Liyan, she suddenly noticed that Gu Liyan was soaked in sweat, as if he had been pulled out of the water. Looking at Gu Liyan's face, she saw that it was also covered in sweat.
Gu Yixian opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end she held back. Looking at Gu Liyan's pale face, Gu Yixian pursed her lips, took out a bamboo basket from the kitchen, and then went out.
creak—
Hearing Gu Yixian close the door, Gu Liyan sat up abruptly, finally unable to hold back a muffled groan of pain, "Ugh..."
The painful sounds started as muffled groans, then turned into low cries, then into piercing screams, and finally into desperate, agonizing screams...
Gu Yixian stood at the door, trembling, covering her mouth, trying not to cry out. If she hadn't been standing here today, she probably would never have known that Gu Liyan was silently enduring such unbearable pain!
Gu Liyan collapsed weakly onto the bed, his voice already hoarse from shouting; he had no strength left.
Gu Yixian, standing outside the door, quietly approached the window. Seeing Gu Liyan, utterly exhausted, close his eyes and fall into a deep sleep, tears finally streamed down her face. "Little Li, you silly boy," she said, "your injuries haven't improved at all, why didn't you tell me... you had to endure the pain all by yourself, how could you be so foolish..."
Gu Yixian watched as Gu Liyan gritted her teeth and walked deeper into the forest: "Little Li, wait for me, I will definitely find the herbs to cure you!"
——
Gu Liyan slept for a whole day, and only woke up when night fell and the stars were high in the sky.
Ding ding ding—
Hearing the clattering sounds coming from the kitchen, Gu Liyan knew that Gu Yixian was preparing food. "Yiyi, don't make too much food, we can't eat it all! There's still some of the food you made a few days ago..."
Gu Yixian peeked out and saw that Gu Liyan's expression had softened. She smiled slightly and said, "You've misunderstood. I don't have time to research new dishes! I'm preparing your medicinal cuisine!"
Gu Liyan's face immediately stiffened. He already found it extremely difficult to swallow the medicinal soup made by Gu Yixian, let alone combine it with her culinary skills to create some earth-shattering and ghost-weeping medicinal dish...
Wouldn't he need to insure his taste buds?
Gu Liyan hurriedly spoke up, "Um, Yiyi, actually my injuries aren't serious. I don't need any medicinal diet to recuperate. You don't believe me? Look—"
As Gu Liyan spoke, he forcefully patted his chest. The moment he slapped himself, his expression changed, and he couldn't help but cough, "Cough cough—"
Gu Liyan covered his mouth, suddenly feeling a warmth in his palm. Gu Yixian noticed a trace of blood between his fingers. Immediately, she rushed forward, grabbed Gu Liyan's hand, and seeing the blood on his hand, her eyes reddened. Suppressing her heartache, she pointed at Gu Liyan and angrily scolded him:
"You silly fox, how can you be so careless with your health? Don't you know how many precious medicinal herbs I've used for you these past few days? You really don't appreciate it at all!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Liyan immediately lowered his head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Yiyi, I... I didn't expect to be a burden to you, I'm so sorry..."
Seeing Gu Liyan's guilty expression, Gu Yixian recalled his painful appearance that morning, and the shrill screams pierced her heart.
Gu Yixian hugged Gu Liyan tenderly and said softly, "Silly fox, what do you mean by being a burden? Lovers should take care of each other. If it were me, you would definitely take better care of me, right?"
Gu Liyan smiled slightly, "Of course! If anyone dares to bully the woman I love, I'll fight them to the death!"
Gu Yixian covered Gu Liyan's mouth and said seriously, "I won't allow you to say such stupid things! Nothing is more important than your life. You should take good care of yourself!"
Hearing Gu Yixian's words, Gu Liyan smiled and nodded, "Yes, I understand, Yiyi. I will listen to you from now on and will never make you sad again."
Gu Yixian couldn't help but smile, "That's more like it!"
"I'm usually very well-behaved, but only towards the people I like!" Gu Liyan turned around and hugged Gu Yixian, smiling as he spoke.
"Yiyi, although I still can't see your face, I've gradually been able to smell your scent. I think it won't be long before I can distinguish the scents of everything in this world, and then you won't have to go through so much trouble taking care of me."
