Chapter 49
Gu Zhinian fell asleep soon after he lay down. Shi Wan sat beside him and replied to messages on his phone for a while, then took the sketchbook that Gu Zhinian had placed aside and started practicing.
The ward was so quiet that the only sounds left were the sliding of paper and pen, and Gu Zhinian's shallow breathing. Gu Zhinian was like a warm stove, and before she knew it, Shi Wan's feet were touching Gu Zhinian's legs. Shi Wan felt embarrassed, but she also longed for the warmth from Gu Zhinian's body.
Shi Wan turned her head to look at Gu Zhinian, whose sleeping face was indescribably handsome. Shi Wan looked carefully and found that Gu Zhinian's eyelashes were very long. He was almost thirty years old, but when you looked closely at his face, you couldn't see any pores at all. It was amazing!
Thinking of this, Shi Wan moved closer to Gu Zhinian, her eyes falling on Gu Zhinian's lips, which were light in color and as warm as ink. Because he was asleep, they lacked the coolness of winter snow. She wondered what it would feel like to kiss him.
Chirp——
She did it as soon as she thought about it. Shi Wan quickly kissed Gu Zhinian on the lips, then turned around abruptly and stopped looking at Gu Zhinian. She held the pen in her hand and wrote on the paper with a smile in her eyes. She would be distracted from time to time, trying to savor the feeling just now. Gu Zhinian's profile in the sketchbook jumped onto the paper. With just a few strokes, she captured Gu Zhinian's expression perfectly.
His eyes were affectionate and gentle like jade, just as Gu Zhinian usually looked at him. Shi Wan stared at the painting he had drawn for a long time before turning the page. He just couldn't calm down for a long time. His mind, eyes and hands were filled with Gu Zhinian's pair of tender eyes.
Shi Wan sat on the bed but didn't dare to move too much for fear of waking up Gu Zhinian. She couldn't calm down either. She looked at Gu Zhinian's face, gritted her teeth, and wanted to bite him!
Gu Zhinian didn't sleep for long and woke up before lunch. Aunt Lin just happened to bring him lunch, which was all Shi Wan's favorite food and was light.
Shi Wan had no appetite, so he forced himself to eat half a bowl of rice and a lot of dishes before he moved his chopsticks. Gu Zhinian didn't force Shi Wan, but served a bowl of soup to Shi Wan and took the bowl in front of Shi Wan. Shi Wan held the bowl of soup and buried his head in it, not daring to look at Gu Zhinian.
I took a nap late in the afternoon and woke up with a low fever. I lay in bed feeling sick. He Cheng had already come to see me and said I was fine.
"Do you want to go home?" Gu Zhinian sat on the hospital bed and looked at Shi Wan. The temperature in the room was 20 degrees Celsius. Shi Wan was still lying on the bed covered with a quilt and wearing furry pajamas, but Shi Wan's hands and feet were still cold. He couldn't sleep warmly at all.
When Shi Wan heard what Gu Zhinian said, he slowly shook his head. He knew his body well. He knew that this cold would last for several days. It would be a hassle to go back home and have to go to the hospital.
"There's a family doctor at home, so there's no need to worry about any trouble."
"Wanwan, anything that can be solved with money is not a problem. What's the point of me making so much money if I can't make you live comfortably?" Gu Zhinian tapped Shi Wan's nose with his fingertips.
"It's okay, just stay in the hospital." Shi Wan dodged Gu Zhinian's hand and buried his face in the quilt. He didn't want his home to be like a hospital, because he would feel like he was always sick and couldn't avoid being sick.
"Okay, what do you want to eat tonight?" Gu Zhinian didn't say anything else and changed the subject.
"It would be nice to have porridge." When Shi Wan was sick, the thing he ate the most was porridge. It was the most convenient and easiest thing to swallow, and he forced himself to drink it.
"good."
It took a week of intermittent fever to recover. Lin Siyuan wanted to come and see Shi Wan, but Shi Wan stopped him. The teacher was not young anymore, and Shi Wan was afraid that the cold would be transmitted to the teacher and his wife.
After being discharged from the hospital, Gu Zhinian no longer let Shi Wan live in the dormitory. He took Shi Wan directly back to the house next to the school. Someone had always been cleaning the place, and all the clean things were available. Aunt Lin had already moved in with her people, waiting for Shi Wan and Gu Zhinian to come back.
The floor heating was on at home, and the humidifier was on at all times. Shi Wan felt her nose felt much more comfortable when she entered the house. It snowed lightly that night when she came back, which was also the first snow of the year. Shi Wan was dressed warmly when she went out for class, with a scarf and a hat, and she was holding a Totoro-shaped hot water bottle in her hand.
Even so, Gu Zhinian was still worried and wanted to go with Shi Wan.
I haven't seen Shi Wan for a week. When we saw Shi Wan in the studio, everyone was very concerned and asked how Shi Wan was doing. Shi Wan always smiled and said he was fine.
After Lin Siyuan arranged today's paintings, he walked over to Shi Wan. He had lost weight again. "Look at you, you're as thin as a bamboo pole. Did Gu Zhinian not give you food?"
"I'm not that thin, I just can't eat enough..." Shi Wan didn't dare to refute loudly and could only mutter in a low voice.
"Humph, look at you. You can be blown away by the wind, and you still say you're not very thin. Your mistress asked you to come to her house this weekend."
"Okay." Shi Wan nodded.
"Well, then take everyone with you." Lin Siyuan added, fearing that if he didn't say it clearly, the young disciple would not bring anyone with him.
"Okay." Nodding obediently.
Only then did Lin Siyuan leave with satisfaction.
Everyone originally thought that Shi Wan had been sick for a week, which meant he hadn't touched a pen for a week. They had worked hard for a week, so he should be feeling better. But when they saw Shi Wan's paintings while reviewing the homework before get out of class ended, they felt that they had wasted the week.
Everyone: Was this person really sick for a week? Didn't he go to study? Did he take some miracle drug?
Everyone else still thought so, except Guo Jizong. He even felt that Shi Wan deliberately used the excuse of sick leave to go to Lin Siyuan for private tutoring.
On the weekend, Shi Wan and Gu Zhinian went to Lin Siyuan's house together, followed by bodyguards, each carrying a lot of things.
Because she was with Gu Zhinian, Shi Wan didn't use the key to open the door. She knocked on the door and it was the nanny at home who opened the door.
"Teacher Lin, Teacher Xue, Mr. Shi Wan is here." Aunt Luo said with a smile.
"Aunt Luo."
"Hey, come in quickly, it's cold outside. Teacher Lin has been waiting for you for a long time."
"Xiao Luo, what are you talking about? Who's waiting for you?" Lin Siyuan retorted after hearing Aunt Luo's words.
"Come in quickly." Aunt Luo whispered to Shi Wan, winking at her. Shi Wan smiled and nodded and went in.
"Teacher, mistress, this is Gu Zhinian." Shi Wan brought Gu Zhinian in to greet Lin Siyuan.
"Hello, teacher and mistress."
"Well, sit down." Lin Siyuan sat upright on the sofa with a stern face, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
Teacher Xue pinched Lin Siyuan and said with a smile, "There is only tea at Gu's house, and I don't know if you are used to drinking it." Teacher Xue asked Aunt Luo to put the tea in front of Gu Zhinian, and in front of Shi Wan was a glass of water.
"I'm fine with anything." Gu Zhinian took the tea and said with a smile. He didn't feel awkward at all, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with Lin Siyuan's stern face. He always had a smile on his face.
"Xiao Wan'er, come and show me my flowers." Seeing the atmosphere, Teacher Xue waved and found an excuse to take Shi Wan away.
Shi Wan was about to leave with his master's wife, and Gu Zhinian put the hot water bottle in Shi Wan's hand.
After the two of them had left, Lin Siyuan slowly spoke, "When are you planning on having your wedding with Xiao Wan'er? What do your parents say?"
"I'm planning to hold the wedding when Wanwan graduates. I've already told my parents about it. When you and your wife are free, I'll have my parents come visit."
"Shi Wan is just a simple child. What's your purpose in marrying him?" Lin Siyuan asked without responding, his eyes sharp.
"I love him." Gu Zhinian met Lin Siyuan's eyes without any avoidance.
