Gu Yuheng lay on the ground for a long time until his mind gradually cleared and the heat in his body subsided. Only then did he go downstairs with a sullen face.
When Lin Chuxia saw him again, he was already a noble and aloof young master, as if his previous disheveled appearance was just a temporary illusion.
By then, Lin Chuxia had already finished washing up and was sitting quietly to the side, reading a book. When she saw Gu Yuheng come down, she didn't dare to make a sound or provoke him, and instead made herself even more inconspicuous.
"Hmph!" Gu Yuheng passed by her, leaving behind only a cold snort that had no clear meaning.
When Lin Chuxia looked up at him, he had already returned to his office seat. He had changed out of his sportswear, and his hair still looked a little wet, as if he had just taken a shower.
Gu Yuheng pretended not to see her secretly peeking at him, and seriously and attentively flipped through the document in his hand. Then, he pretended to be very hot and fanned himself with his hand a couple of times. After that, he directly unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt, revealing his delicate collarbone and broad chest.
Upon seeing this, Lin Chuxia's lips twitched involuntarily.
She had never seen Gu Yuheng so "disheveled" before. Although he had only unbuttoned the top two buttons, it was a rare sight for Gu Yuheng.
This man is either completely naked or dressed impeccably, even buttoning up the top button of his shirt. Even when he's sweating profusely from the heat, I've never seen him unbutton his shirt or even frown. But now, with the air conditioning on, even if it's hot, it shouldn't be hot enough to warrant unbuttoning his shirt, right?
Despite her many questions, Lin Chuxia suppressed her curiosity, mindful of what had happened in the gym earlier, and turned her attention back to the textbook in front of her.
With her distractions gone, Lin Chuxia quickly got into study mode, occasionally circling or drawing in the book, or jotting down her doubts or insights.
However, while she quieted down, Gu Yuheng started making a commotion again.
"Ahem!" Someone coughed twice, feigning an cough.
Lin Chuxia was so engrossed in her studies that she didn't even look up at him.
Gu Yuheng thought that perhaps he had spoken too softly, which was why Lin Chuxia couldn't hear him.
then,
"Cough cough cough!" This time the sound was much louder, and Lin Chuxia finally raised her head.
Seeing the concern in the girl's eyes, Gu Yuheng's displeasure subsided somewhat, and he then maintained his composure, waiting patiently for the girl's next words of care.
Lin Chuxia did not disappoint him, and asked with great concern, "Gu Yuheng, is your throat uncomfortable?"
Gu Yuheng replied coldly, "No."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chuxia said "Oh" and then buried herself in her book again.
Gu Yuheng: "..."
No, doesn't she want to ask anything else?!
Is studying more important to her than her husband's health?!
Gu Yuheng remained silent for a while.
The study was quiet, with only the sounds of writing or turning pages.
However, a moment later, a violent coughing sound, seemingly life-threatening, suddenly rang out—
"Cough, cough, cough—"
Lin Chuxia looked up and glanced at the person on the other side. She saw Gu Yuheng covering his mouth with his fist, looking as if he was about to cough up his lungs.
He was coughing so badly that Lin Chuxia, who was watching from the side, felt sorry for him.
