Chapter 55
Gu Zhinian walked up the stairs and entered the room in two or three steps. He didn't see anyone in the room and the bathroom light was on. He walked in and saw Shi Wan asleep leaning against the bathtub with water still running in it. She looked peaceful in her sleep. Gu Zhinian walked over and picked up Shi Wan. She looked so light and fluttery. She hadn't gained any weight in such a long time.
"Well, the director left." Shi Wan's eyes were blurry and her voice was soft. She felt that the light was too dazzling, so she buried her head in Gu Zhinian's arms and rubbed against him. "I want to take a shower..."
"Go to bed first and take a shower tomorrow morning." Gu Zhinian's heart softened at Shi Wan's appearance.
"I made the bed dirty." Shi Wan forced himself to open his eyes. Actually, he was fine. It was okay if he didn't take a shower for one day. After all, he didn't have the conditions to take a shower every day when he was in the orphanage. It was just that Aunt Lin said that Gu Zhinian was particular about cleanliness, so after Shi Wan moved into Gu Zhinian's room, he developed the habit of taking a shower every day.
"What should I do if you feel uncomfortable?" Shi Wan's voice became softer.
If he hadn't been unable to stand today, Shi Wan wouldn't have thought of taking a soak in the bathtub.
"I won't feel uncomfortable as long as you are by my side." Gu Zhinian raised his eyebrows.
"Then, then, then I want to wash my feet." Shi Wan's bottom line is that he must wash his feet before going to bed.
"Sit tight." Gu Zhinian put Shi Wan on the bed and took a quilt and pillow for Shi Wan to lean on. He turned and went into the bathroom to get some water to wash Shi Wan's feet.
After washing his feet and changing into pajamas, Shi Wan fell asleep on the bed, even forgetting to take off the cochlear implant. It seemed that he was very tired. Gu Zhinian took off the cochlear implant for Shi Wan, charged it, and placed it in the familiar place at the head of the bed. He turned off the lights, tucked in the quilt, and put slippers in place for Shi Wan before going into the bathroom.
Gu Zhinian took a quick shower, dried his hair, and came out. The first thing he did was to test the temperature of Shi Wan's forehead, fearing that Shi Wan might have a fever due to acclimatization.
Fortunately, nothing happened, and Gu Zhinian felt a little relieved.
Gu Zhinian looked at Shi Wan's face in the dim light of the floor lamp. His soft black hair stuck to his fair cheeks, looking soft. He wanted to take Shi Wan out for walks more often. Shi Wan was still so young, and it would be bad for him to be trapped in one place.
Gu Zhinian asked He Cheng about Shi Wan's physical condition, and it was nothing serious. He Cheng said that Shi Wan's motion sickness might be due to the fact that she took the car too seldom, and it would get better slowly as she took the car more often. Gu Zhinian took this opportunity to bring Shi Wan out, and Shi Wan would be more accepting of going out in the future.
Gu Zhinian lay beside Shi Wan and held Shi Wan in his arms. Gu Zhinian woke up once in the middle of the night and used his forehead to feel the temperature of Shi Wan's forehead. After finding nothing unusual, he continued to sleep with peace of mind.
The place they stayed was a resort in Southern Province, which had not yet officially opened for business. The surroundings were very quiet except for the sounds of birds and insects. Shi Wan was too tired yesterday and got up much later than usual. When he got up, Gu Zhinian was no longer by his side.
Seeing the note on the bedside table and the fully charged cochlear implant, Shi Wan rubbed his eyes, stood up and walked to the balcony. The sun had already risen and the mountains in the distance were covered with mist. He took a deep breath. Maybe it was because he was too hungry, but Shi Wan felt that the air was sweet.
From a distance, I saw Gu Zhinian and a middle-aged man in his forties walking back together. The two were chatting casually and waved goodbye to each other at the fork in the road. Gu Zhinian saw him and mouthed to him to go back and put on his clothes. Shi Wan also felt a little cold, so he went back to the room and put on the sweater Gu Zhinian prepared for him.
"I went out for a run this morning and met Director Fang who was taking a walk, so we came back together." Gu Zhinian explained to Shi Wan in a young voice who the person with him was.
"Yeah." Shi Wan buried his head in drinking porridge. Hmm... He actually didn't know who this Director Fang was. When he heard what Gu Zhinian said, Shi Wan became nervous. He didn't know any of these guests.
"Director Fang is the director of 'The World'."
"His lover is Qin Susu, also an actress." Gu Zhixin softly sorted out Shi Wan's interpersonal relationships. "The director said that we will have lunch at noon and start the live broadcast. There will be a pre-interview later."
"Yeah." Shi Wan nodded.
Not long after breakfast, the director team came to the front for interviews. Shi Wan went there first, and Gu Zhinian couldn't go in, so he had to stand outside waiting.
Program team: "How did you and Teacher Gu get together?"
Shi Wan tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said in a serious and matter-of-fact tone: "A blind date." He and Gu Zhinian should be considered in an arranged marriage.
Program crew (distorted, crawling, terrified, screaming): "...Um...then please describe your current relationship with Teacher Gu."
Shi Wan clicked her fingers together and looked down at her sweater: "Not bad."
The production crew frantically tried to make amends: "So Teacher Gu and you were the type to get married first and then fall in love. So what do you think of your relationship?"
Shi Wan: "I don't know if it's true. Should we treat each other with respect?" Shi Wan tilted his head and thought for a long time before speaking.
He didn't know whether he loved her or not, and he didn't dare to lie. What if he got slapped in the face?
After the words fell, the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. They…respected each other like guests. That’s not the way Teacher Gu was acting! Could it be! Could it be that Teacher Gu hasn’t caught up yet?! Everyone had the same thought, and instantly showed awe and respect for Shi Wan!
The director shed lasagna tears in his heart: ...This show might be stillborn and won't be able to be broadcast... wuwuwuwu...
Gu Zhinian, who heard everything clearly outside the door, took a deep breath and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Shi Wan is just slow. I'm sorry to say it! I'm sorry!"
The staff member who was following them lowered his head and looked at his toes, not daring to breathe heavily, for fear that he would be fired the next day for gasping for breath!
"Hehe...hehe...what kind of person is Teacher Gu in your mind?" The person who asked the question from the program team smiled reluctantly.
"He's a good man." he blurted out.
The staff of the program crew all looked at the director: This... this... good guy card... can they still get their salary?
"So what is the most unforgettable thing between you two?" At the director's signal, the questioner quickly continued asking.
"Watching the fireworks in the sky restaurant." Those fireworks belong to him.
Setting off a fireworks display costs a lot!
"I have asked all the questions. Mr. Shi, please go out first." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Shi Wan didn't say anything memorable. Otherwise, otherwise, he would secretly glance at the half-open door and wonder how this would end.
As soon as Shi Wan came out, she saw Gu Zhinian standing outside the door. Remembering what she had just said, she looked at Gu Zhinian nervously, but Gu Zhinian acted as if he hadn't heard her. "I've prepared some fruit. Wait for me in the living room."
"Yeah." Shi Wan nodded and went to the living room. There were washed strawberries and cut cantaloupe on the fruit plate. The strawberries were as big as a palm. Shi Wan felt very surprised when he held them in his hand. Even such a strawberry weighed almost half a pound. Shi Wan could not eat any more after eating half of it. He rubbed his stomach and ate it in small bites.
