Chapter 156 An Old Cow Eating Young Grass
The only problem is that the gentleman is a bit old, a full nine years older than Zhao Zhao, which is a bit like an old cow eating young grass.
However, getting older and being more caring is a good thing for Zhao Zhao.
Aunt Zhang paused in stirring the millet porridge, sighed, and stopped thinking about it.
Upstairs, Dan Anwen was helping Gu Ji take off her nightgown, oblivious to Aunt Zhang's nagging downstairs about his age. He was trying hard not to look at the snow-white body on the bed.
After finally managing to remove her nightgown, Dan Anwen's forehead was covered in a layer of sweat, whether from the temperature of the air conditioner or from nervousness.
Gu Ji not only refused to cooperate with him in taking off his nightgown, but also kept holding his hand, which made things even more difficult for him.
Dan Anwen turned his head away, his large hands wiping away the fine sweat on her back and front with his sense of touch. He was worried about her fever and didn't feel any desire for her.
However, when he touched the softness of Gu Ji's chest, his breath caught in his throat, and he gently and quickly ended the torturous ordeal.
After finally finishing wiping her upper body, he no longer had the courage to wipe her lower body.
Gu Ji kept her eyes closed, huddled under the covers, whimpering softly, revealing a slender white hand tightly gripping his.
Seeing this, Dan An knew she wouldn't let go of his hand and asked him to go to the dressing room to get her a new nightgown.
But the family doctor was coming upstairs soon, so Dan Anwen had no choice but to wrap her in a blanket and carry her to get her nightgown.
He originally intended for her to dress herself, but when she met a pair of watery eyes, she pouted and refused to dress herself, stretching out her arms and demanding that he dress her for her.
Dan Anwen pressed the tip of his tongue against his chin, his gaze deep, "Little vixen, don't regret it when you wake up."
Gu Ji was delirious from the fever, his body was weak and limp, and he didn't take Dan Anwen's threatening words seriously at all, even showing a pale smile.
It's as if she knows the gentle man in front of her is just saying harsh words, and there's nothing she can do about it.
Dan Anwen really couldn't do anything about her, so he could only sigh and close his eyes to help her put on her nightgown, relying entirely on his instincts.
After helping Gu Ji put on her nightgown, Gu Ji, who was delirious with fever, also began to feel drowsy. She held Dan Anwen's hand tightly but never let go, and kept whispering that she was cold, her teeth trembling slightly.
Dan Anwen had no choice but to take off her slippers and get into bed. She leaned against the headboard and hugged Gu Ji's body, using her body heat to give her some warmth.
Sure enough, the girl finally stopped whimpering, whether it was because of the man's familiar scent or his burning body temperature, it was hard to tell.
Summer midday is already sweltering, and the high temperature outside, the temperature of the air conditioner in the room, or even the heat from holding onto the heat, all make Dan Anwen sweat profusely.
Seeing that she was sleeping peacefully, Dan Anwen could only grit his teeth inwardly. Finally, he sighed, gently touched the top of her head with his thin lips, and said in a gentle tone, "Little one, don't feel uncomfortable, don't feel uncomfortable."
Under the blanket, someone gently patted her back, as if coaxing a child to sleep.
She didn't wake up when the family doctor came to give her an injection.
It wasn't until the sun set and the orange light outside the window was gradually replaced by darkness that Gu Ji regained some consciousness and opened his heavy eyelids.
The sound of her waking up made Dan Anwen, who had been resting with his eyes closed, instantly open his eyes and his first reaction was to touch her forehead.
The fever has subsided.
After carefully examining her complexion, the man finally felt relieved.
"Little girl, are you still feeling unwell?" Dan Anwen looked down at her.
Gu Ji looked bewildered, as if he didn't understand what Dan Anwen was talking about.
However, she could feel that her whole body was sore and weak, her head was still a little sore, and there seemed to be something gently tugging at the back of her hand.
His gaze followed the back of his hand and immediately fell upon the white tube. His voice was hoarse as he spoke, "Am I sick?"
Gu Ji frowned and tried to recall. She seemed to feel unusually cold when she slept, but she couldn't remember anything after that.
Dan Anwen smiled slightly and gently pinched her cheek. "You've had a fever for a day now. You must have caught a chill in the pool yesterday and then turned on the air conditioning last night."
At this point, Gu Ji's weak eyes flashed. Last night, she had been trying to cool off and had set the air conditioner to a very low temperature, but she forgot to set the timer. No wonder she felt so cold while sleeping.
Dan Anwen saw through her thoughts at a glance, and punished her by increasing the pressure on her hand, her tone slightly serious, "Will you dare to turn the temperature down this low next time?"
Gu Ji pursed his lips and shook his head violently like a rattle drum.
"That's a good girl." Dan Anwen gently lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
Before Gu Ji could ask anything else, the door was pushed open. It was Aunt Zhang who came in to call Dan Anwen downstairs for dinner.
Aunt Zhang saw Gu Ji, who was awake and nestled in Dan Anwen's arms, and smiled. "Zhao Zhao, you're awake. Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"
Aunt Zhang spent the whole afternoon simmering millet porridge in the kitchen, worried that Gu Ji would be hungry when she woke up, but unexpectedly, she slept for the entire afternoon.
Gu Ji's mind was still foggy, but his stomach was wide awake, constantly reminding his brain that he was hungry.
After all, it's understandable for a stomach to protest after a day without food.
So, he nodded under Aunt Zhang's expectant gaze.
Upon seeing this, Aunt Zhang immediately turned around and went downstairs to get some porridge, clearly forgetting the purpose of her trip upstairs.
It wasn't until Aunt Zhang left that Gu Ji belatedly realized what had happened.
She seems to be in the same bed as Uncle Dan right now, and she's even lying in Uncle Dan's arms.
Thinking of this, Gu Ji's body suddenly shuddered, startling Dan Anwen, who asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
He reached out to check her forehead.
A frustrated and embarrassed voice came from my chest, "Uncle Dan, you're lying on my bed now."
Gu Ji looked slightly uneasy, his eyes filled with worry and evasion.
Dan Anwen then realized what was happening, stopped her hand from reaching for Gu Ji's forehead, turned her head and moved it to Gu Ji's head, giving it a reassuring pat, "Aunt Zhang already knows about our relationship."
Gu Ji's eyes, which were still glistening with tears, widened instantly, and her tone became slightly anxious, "We were discovered so quickly?"
She thought she could keep it a secret for a long time. After all, she had never done anything intimate with Uncle Dan when Aunt Zhang was at the Jinshan Villa. She never expected that an illness would completely expose her.
Thinking of this, Gu Ji's voice was filled with frustration, "How did Aunt Zhang find out?"
Dan Anwen curled her thin lips into a smile, her gaze falling on their clasped hands and her nightgown. "What do you think?"
Gu Ji's eyes were red, her bright red nose twitched slightly, and she pouted, looking like she was about to cry.
When did she start holding Uncle Dan's hand?
And why won't Uncle Dan let go of her?
In the end, did she expose herself?
And she has no memory of this at all!
