Chapter 21 Who said I missed him?
On the bed, Chen Yuan's cheeks were flushed, her temples were soaked with sweat, and she was sleeping very uneasily.
Because it was too hot, his undershirt was torn into pieces.
The moon-white soft silk looks particularly eye-catching against the pink skin.
This was the scene that Gu Huailing saw when he came in.
He frowned, covered Shen Yuan with the quilt again, and touched her forehead again.
It's too hot.
Gu Huailing went to get a copper basin of water without saying a word.
She opened the quilt that had just been covered, and Shen Yuan fell into the dream of her previous life.
She was betrayed and ignored by Gu Jingchu her entire life.
Why didn't he even give her a divorce paper when she was terminally ill?
Why?
"Gu Jingchu." Chen Yuan murmured in pain.
Gu Huailing's body suddenly stopped, and his dark eyes were eerily quiet, like the black fog that accumulated and suppressed under the thin clouds, without a trace of light.
The scene in front of him was shrouded in fog, and Gu Jingchu's figure gradually disappeared.
Shen Yuan was anxious. How could he leave when the divorce papers hadn't been signed yet?
"Gu Jingchu, don't go..." Chen Yuan's face was full of grievance.
Gu Huailing looked at the woman on the bed, his knuckles pinching the copper basin turning whiter by the second.
After a moment, he closed his eyes.
He opened his eyes again, sat expressionlessly beside Shen Yuan's bed, and gently wiped her forehead with a handkerchief dipped in cold water.
Old Chen arrived very quickly, and Gu Huailing personally fed him the medicine before letting him leave.
After drinking the medicine, Chen Yuan became obedient and stopped talking nonsense.
She fell into a deep sleep clutching Gu Huailing's robe.
When the first rays of light appeared, Gu Huailing withdrew his gaze from Shen Yuan's face and made a decision.
He won't wait any longer.
He had wanted to take it slow, but now he regretted it.
He was taught by his grandfather since he was young to be upright and self-reliant and to shoulder the responsibility of the Gu family.
He had done all these, but now he wanted one person.
It is said that a forced melon is not sweet, but you can only know whether it is sweet or not by biting it yourself.
No one knew that behind him, when his outer appearance faded, there was a giant beast that was about to break out of its cage and that he had suppressed for a long time.
After Gu Huailing left, Chen Yuan slept for nearly an hour before waking up.
Her mind was groggy and she had no memory of what happened yesterday.
Taozi walked in with a bowl of medicine. The amber medicine was swaying in the bowl, and the hot steam from the medicine was slowly rising. Chen Yuan felt that the whole room was foggy.
"Miss, you are finally awake. You had a high fever all night yesterday. I was so worried."
"High fever?" Shen Yuan moved her body, and the aches all over her body told her that she was indeed sick yesterday.
"Thank you for your hard work, Taozi. Put the medicine down and take a rest." Chen Yuan looked at Taozi. He thought that this girl must have not slept all night taking care of him.
"It's not hard for me, my servant. It was the Prime Minister who stayed with the young lady all night yesterday."
"Thankfully, the Prime Minister came last night and asked Sanjiu to take me to invite Elder Chen, so the young lady's condition was not delayed."
Gu Huailing stayed with her all night again?
Shen Yuan felt a little dizzy.
"If I were to say, the Prime Minister is the best. He was extremely anxious when he learned that the young lady was ill yesterday."
"He does everything himself, even feeding the girl medicine and wiping her skin, it was done by the Prime Minister himself."
Taozi became more and more satisfied as she spoke.
When Chen Yuan heard the word "wipe", she subconsciously glanced at her inner garment.
Is it what she thought?
"Miss, why is your face still so hot? Do you have a fever again?" Taozi looked at Chen Yuan's face, which was as red as yesterday, and asked hurriedly with concern.
"No." Shen Yuan shook his head, his heart in turmoil but he remained calm.
After a night of fever, Chen Yuan had no appetite even for lunch. After eating a few bites, he asked Taozi to leave.
"Bring me my engraving tools." Chen Yuan suddenly thought of the piece of jade that Gu Huailing had given her before.
The jade was cold, hard and transparent. If it were carved into a jade pendant, it would be a perfect match for him.
She was lost in thought when she suddenly heard a light cough behind her.
A hint of irritation appeared on Shen Yuan's face, and she turned around.
"Chen Yuan, what's that look in your eyes? I'm here to see you."
Lin Wanyin was holding a box of pastries and looked at Chen Yuan with her chin raised.
If you don’t know, you might think she is holding a gold nugget.
"Taozi, show me the tea." Lin Wanyin ignored Chen Yuan's gaze.
He sat down opposite Shen Yuan and pushed the cake in front of Shen Yuan, "Eat it, it's the Hibiscus Cake from Zhimeizhai. I queued up to buy it early in the morning."
Shen Yuan was a little surprised.
Lin Wanyin lost her usual softness and raised her head proudly, "What are you looking at? You've been following Gu Jingchu's ass for so many years, and I'm stuck between you two. I only need to have eyes to know what you like."
Clam?
What's wrong with this guy today?
Chen Yuan pointed at the hibiscus cake on the table, "Do I need this box of hibiscus cake from you? Also, when did I become so familiar with you?"
Lin Wanyin looked at the box of lotus cakes, she knew that Chen Yuan had enough.
Little did she know that she could only afford this by selling her hairpins.
She was really grateful for Shen Yuan's life-saving grace yesterday, but she didn't say it.
"Are you okay? If not, just leave now. I'm annoyed by you." Chen Yuan said bluntly.
Although she and Lin Wanyin had no big grudge, Lin Wanyin's various little actions in the past had made Shen Yuan hate her from the bottom of her heart.
"Of course there is something. You don't like Gu Jingchu anymore, but that idiot still likes you. I want you to do me a favor."
Lin Wanyin arrived as a matter of course.
?
Is she okay?
"As for what kind of help I can provide, I won't tell you now."
Shen Yuan couldn't stand it any longer, "Taozi, throw her out."
Before Taozi came over, two secret guards suddenly appeared, grabbed Lin Wanyin's collar and threw her out.
After finishing the job, the secret guard exchanged greetings with Chen Yuan and then retreated.
This is the person Gu Huailing gave her.
Lin Wanyin was not angry even though she was thrown out, because she had never had any friends.
Yesterday, Shen Yuan jumped into the lake to save her, and she has regarded Shen Yuan as her only friend.
Aren't friends supposed to help each other?
Besides, helping myself is also helping her.
Anyway, Gu Huailing is a fool who is not only looking at the bowl but also eating from the pot and can't recognize his own heart.
She is not worthy of Shen Yuan, who risked his own life to jump into the lake to save her!
Lin Wanyin brushed off the dust on her skirt and walked away arrogantly.
Gu Huailing did not show up the entire day.
At dusk, a white ball ran in from outside holding a small bamboo tube in its mouth.
“Ouch~”
A loud dog barked, and the bamboo tube fell to the ground, startling Shen Yuan so much that he staggered.
"Girl, is this a dog?" Taozi said in shock as she looked at the white ball in front of her.
How can a good dog learn to howl like a wolf?
Chen Yuan picked up Yaoyao and picked up the bamboo tube on the ground. When he opened it, there was a note inside.
There were only five words on the note.
Return to Beijing after seven days.
It is Gu Huailing's handwriting, and you can see the strength and structure of the strokes everywhere.
It is the most beautiful in the whole capital.
But why did he leave Beijing? What exactly was he going to do?
In the past few days, Chen Yuan has been carving jade, hoping to give it to the Prime Minister before he returns.
The days passed by in a flash.
On the seventh day, Chen Yuan got up early in the morning.
"Miss, how long have you been staring at the gate? If you miss the Prime Minister, why don't we go out of the city to pick him up?"
Chen Yuan glanced at Taozi, picked up Yaoyao from the ground, and walked into the house. "Who said I missed him?"
