Chapter 277 It’s right to worry about each other!
"It takes more than an hour to walk from Huangling Village to Qingshui County. The road is not easy to travel on. If we drive slowly, we will arrive in about 20 minutes. You can rest for a while. I will call you when we get there."
"good."
Because he got up very early in the morning, Ran Qingxuan actually slept for an hour when he closed his eyes.
Although it was not snowing outside, it was very cold with ice and snow everywhere. When Ran Qingxuan opened her eyes, she saw only darkness. However, the car under her was still running, which instantly made her break out in a cold sweat.
"Gu Yanchen, wake up!" He groped his way to the person beside him in the darkness and shook him hard.
It is common sense that you cannot sleep in a car with the engine running. Ran Qingxuan, a modern man, knows this, but that does not mean that the ancients knew it.
Gu Yanchen opened his eyes just as she spoke. When he turned on the overhead light, there was no sleepiness in his eyes. It was obvious that he was just resting his eyes.
Seeing Ran Qingxuan patting his chest and clearly feeling relieved, Gu Yanchen asked in confusion, "Did you have a nightmare?"
"What kind of nightmare is this? You're going to scare me to death, you know that?"
The volume suddenly rose, but the look in her eyes when she looked at him was full of worry.
"I'm fine!"
It was at this time that Ran Qingxuan began to explain to him the dangers of sleeping in a car with the engine running. After hearing this, Gu Yanchen's eyes inexplicably turned red.
As she was talking, Ran Qingxuan realized something was wrong. She thought that her bad tone had hurt him, so she hurriedly wanted to explain, but she didn't expect that Gu Yanchen would hold her in his arms and not let go.
"Um...I'm just worried about you..."
"I know..." A muffled voice came from Ran Qingxuan's neck. The man's warm breath sprayed on her skin, causing her to shiver.
He reacted quickly and let her go, then looked at her seriously and said, "Next time, worry about yourself first, okay?"
Gu Yanchen's eyes were red for a long time because of this. Ran Qingxuan pulled his collar with a red face and changed the subject.
"Fortunately you opened the window a crack..."
“Are we there yet?”
"Well, take the fork in the road ahead, turn right and walk for a quarter of an hour to get to the county, but it will take another quarter of an hour to get to the inn."
Ran Qingxuan stretched, and two long cotton coats appeared on his knees.
"Wear this when you go out, otherwise it will be very cold when walking at night."
It was already November, and the wind at night was so strong that it almost blew people's heads off. After putting on his clothes and getting out of the car, Ran Qingxuan couldn't help shivering.
"I see you put that cart away. Why don't you take it out and sit on it, and I'll take you away."
Ran Qingxuan shook his head: "It's okay, I'm fine all over!"
But Gu Yanchen insisted, and she had no choice but to take out the creaking cart.
The wound on Ran Qingxuan's abdomen has scabbed over, but it still hurts when he moves too much.
In order to lighten his burden, Ran Qingxuan only took a quilt as a cushion. After walking for about half an hour, the two stopped in front of a small inn.
The waiter who was guarding the door at night stood up to open the door, and when he was about to complain, he felt something cold in his hand.
When the waiter looked down and saw the silver, his face immediately lit up with joy.
"Please stay in the hotel. How many days do you want to stay?"
"One room, one night."
When the waiter was still a little disappointed, he heard the tall man in front of him continue, "You don't need to come in if you don't want to be called. A more sumptuous breakfast will be delivered at 3:30 tomorrow morning. You don't need to change the rest."
"Thank you for the reward, please go upstairs."
The waiter took the two to a room in the middle of the second floor and left. After making sure that the door was locked and would not open, Ran Qingxuan took Gu Yanchen directly into the space.
The inn in the county was acceptable, but the room was cold and smelled musty, which was incomparable to the room in her space.
Ran Qingxuan filled two buckets of hot water and asked Gu Yanchen to help carry them into the bedroom. Then she changed into her pajamas.
After motioning him to change his clothes, she sat on the bed and soaked her feet comfortably in the hot water bucket.
When Gu Yanchen came back, he saw Ran Qingxuan with his feet in the bucket, lying on the bed with his arms and legs spread, snoring softly. The two were indeed exhausted after that day.
With a helpless chuckle, Gu Yanchen squatted beside the bucket, reached out and gently grabbed Ran Qingxuan's ankle and took his foot out.
Because of soaking in hot water, her feet looked pink and tender and very cute.
The slightly calloused palm accidentally brushed across the sole of Ran Qingxuan's foot, and the sleeping person retracted his foot reflexively.
Water was still dripping from her slender fingertips. Gu Yanchen collected his thoughts and quickly dried her feet and covered her with the quilt.
Normally, women's feet should not be exposed in public, and sometimes they have to be cautious even when facing their husbands.
But even if Ran Qingxuan did this, Gu Yanchen would not think that she was intentionally seducing him to commit a crime.
Maybe in her opinion, showing her feet in front of him was just for soaking her feet...
After his feet warmed up, Gu Yanchen quietly poured some water and lay back on the bed. Facing the tired sleeping face opposite him, he couldn't help but move closer and kiss Ran Qingxuan on the forehead.
"Thank you for your hard work along the way!"
Ran Qingxuan smacked his lips, and his long eyelashes trembled for a moment before returning to normal.
The next day, the two of them rushed out of the space before the waiter delivered the meal. Before leaving, Ran Qingxuan still went to the medical cabin to feed Lin Xueer milk and eggs.
After going out to eat, Ran Qingxuan told Gu Yanchen about his questions for Lin Xueer.
"So you want Kang Jun and the others to take care of Lin Xue'er, who is in a vegetative state. Is this unsafe?"
After all, all three of them are hot-blooded men. It is somewhat unsafe to leave a woman, especially an unconscious woman, next to them.
"I have already thought of a solution. After all, when I return, I will be under the eyes of the officials and I won't have the chance to go in and feed her every day."
Gu Yanchen thought for a moment and nodded: "It's up to you to decide."
Before leaving the inn, Ran Qingxuan pushed Lin Xueer, who was lying on the hospital bed, in front of the three of them. After he expressed his intention, the three of them did not refuse.
However, Miao Lang was slightly resistant.
"We are three grown men. Girl, aren't you afraid to let us take care of the person?"
Ran Qingxuan reached out and suddenly pulled away the quilt on Lin Xueer, and the three of them turned their heads away.
"It's good that you know how to hide, but turn around and take a look first."
The three of them turned their heads with strange expressions, and looked at Lin Xueer with their eyes widened.
"She's pregnant?"
Lin Xueer is very thin, and she was lying flat on her back, so her pregnant belly was obviously visible.
"Yes, I don't want to give up the baby in her belly. If the baby is born safely, you will also get half the credit.
Just consider it as atonement for yourself. I’ll consider letting you go after the baby is born safely! ”
The three of them were shocked and looked at Ran Qingxuan in disbelief.
"Is what the girl said true?"
"If you lie, your whole family will die!"
Ran Qingxuan's answer was very straightforward, and the three of them had no reason and no room for doubt.
"Don't worry, young lady. We three brothers will definitely take good care of you."
