After ending the video call with her parents, Chen Yao casually smoothed her hair and walked to the mirror to tie it up.
But at this moment, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a small spot of red on the collarbone below her neck.
Um?
When was this left behind?
She didn't pay attention when she was taking a shower last night. Did Gu Ci secretly leave a hidden mark?
Could it be... when he was nuzzling her neck and kissing her? Did he secretly nibble on this small piece?
This puppy... really is...
Thinking about the video call she had just had with her parents, her face felt hot. She just hoped they didn't notice.
…
afternoon.
Chen Yao turned on the computer, filled out the application form for supporting zone x, and submitted it directly to go through the online approval process.
She had so many reasons to go to Area X this time, too many to list.
Moreover, she learned from the system that the reason why Dad Shen and Mom Shen stayed there for so many years, even when it was time to return home, was actually related to an important research.
They had reached a bottleneck that was difficult to break through. They didn't know how to seek support, nor could they judge whether the newcomers could be trusted, so they kept delaying.
Chen Yao thought that it would be a good idea to go on this trip to understand clearly what difficulties they had encountered, and to help them return home as soon as possible and reunite with their families.
Moreover, she had never had an experience like support, so the opportunity to go was very worthwhile, so she wanted to go.
After the registration is approved, she will have a good talk with Gu Ci about this matter. They will start a long-distance relationship in the future.
It might take about half a year, so he shouldn't... have any problems understanding it, right?
After all, this is a good experience in her career, and she should strive for it.
As she was thinking, she took out her cell phone and opened WeChat.
On WeChat, the chat box between her and Gu Ci was still stuck on the messages she had already read before. They were all sent by Gu Ci in the morning, and she replied to him after waking up from a nap at noon.
【Gu Ci: Yaoyao, good morning.】
[Gu Ci: I started thinking about you as soon as I woke up, but I can't see you until tomorrow.]
[Gu Ci: Poor.jpg]
[Gu Ci: I have some work to do today. I'll video call you tonight.]
[Gu Ci: Kiss.jpg]
【Gu Ci: I want to kiss you tomorrow, a long kiss.】
Then came Chen Yao’s reply.
【Chen Yao: kiss.jpg】
【Chen Yao: Okay, we kissed.】
【Chen Yao: Work hard.】
The news ends here.
It seems that Gu Ci is really busy today. Usually, he would reply to her message shortly after she did.
Chen Yao thought about it and decided to talk to him about supporting District X later. It would be better to say it in person so that she could explain it clearly and also feel his emotional changes intuitively.
However, he was indeed quieter today. If he was so busy, could he have not even eaten?
Chen Yao simply sent a message to the nurse to ask.
The other end quickly replied: "Mr. Gu asked us to rest outside, saying he had important matters to attend to. He hasn't eaten since breakfast this morning."
Because Chen Yao was Gu Ci's attending physician, the nurse told her without hesitation, and in fact, they were also a little worried.
After seeing the news, Chen Yao glanced at the time and saw that it was already around three o'clock in the afternoon, and frowned slightly.
She ordered some food directly on the food delivery platform, and then told the nurses to help pick it up and bring it to Gu Ci later.
There was a constant response from the other end.
She felt relieved.
…
At this moment, Gu Ci in the ward was indeed busy, and in a very busy state.
Gu Jing only gave him a whole day, so he was racing against time to complete the tasks and tests assigned to him. After all, this was what he had promised himself, so he had to do it.
Because he was so engrossed in his work, he simply ignored the issue of whether to eat or not.
If the Gu family were present, they would probably be shocked to see Gu Ci like this.
After all, from childhood to adulthood, apart from the crazy last-minute cramming before exams, he rarely had such focused time.
About half an hour later, the takeaway was delivered downstairs to the hospital. The nurse went downstairs to pick it up and then knocked on the door of Gu Ci's ward.
he asked without looking up from his keyboard.
The nurse said outside: "Mr. Gu, the meal that Dr. Shen ordered for you has been delivered. Should I take it in now?"
Gu Ci was stunned, "Okay, come in."
After delivering the things, the nurse went out and closed the door for him again.
Gu Ci then opened his phone, and sure enough, he saw the WeChat message that Chen Yao had sent him over half an hour ago.
【Chen Yao: Didn’t you eat?】
[Chen Yao: I ordered some food for you, don’t forget to eat it.]
[Chen Yao: Please send me photos after you finish eating. The doctor needs to check it out, Brother Gu Ci.]
【Chen Yao: Wink～】
Gu Ci felt his heart beating fast, and the corners of his mouth that were raised were harder to suppress than an AK.
He made a video call to her directly, and the call was picked up quickly.
"What's wrong? Why are you calling me suddenly?" Chen Yao on the other side of the video was wearing home clothes and lying lazily on the sofa, looking at him lightly.
"It's nothing. It's just the first time you care about me like this. I'm happy." Gu Ci said frankly with a bright look in his eyes.
Chen Yao on the other end of the video smiled and said, "Has the food you ordered arrived? Then eat it quickly before it gets cold."
Gu Ci turned the camera of his phone to show her the takeaway packaging that he hadn't opened yet, and said, "Thank you, Yaoyao."
Chen Yao's eyes flashed slightly, and she said, "You're welcome. Think about how many times you ordered for me when I was busy."
Gu Ci turned back to the camera and said, "Thank you too."
Chen Yao smiled and said, "Okay, I've received your thanks. Eat now before it gets cold."
Gu Ci felt sweet in his heart and said, "Okay, I'll eat now."
Chen Yao: "Well, I'll hang up first."
Gu Ci: "I...I don't want to hang up, I want to see you."
As he spoke, he noticed the small blush on her collarbone.
I didn’t expect...it’s still there?
This was the hidden mark he left behind quietly when he was doing something naughty yesterday. I didn’t expect it to remain until now?
Yesterday, he couldn't help himself and felt that her body was fragrant and tender, so...
Gu Ci's face began to turn red and his eyes became inexplicably vague.
After Shen Yao noticed it, she raised her eyebrows and asked him, "Where are you looking?"
Gu Ci blushed: "No, I wasn't looking around."
Chen Yao pursed her lips and said, "Eat."
Gu Ci immediately obeyed: "Okay, I'll eat right away."
