"Why read in a car? It's shaking so much that your eyes get tired and your head gets dizzy." Gu Juncheng said, "and you can't move one hand, so how can you read?"
"Forget it!" Indeed, it is a bit tiring to read with one hand.
Instead of continuing to drive, he asked her, "Bored?"
"A little bit." She could only close her eyes and continue thinking.
"You open it." Gu Juncheng said this to Xiaotian.
"Yes!" Oda got out of the car and went to the driver's seat.
Gu Juncheng went to the trunk and took out her schoolbag. Then, he opened the back door, handed her books one by one, and asked her which one she wanted to read.
She chose a novel, which she had actually read before, but it was better than just staring blankly.
"Okay." He threw his schoolbag onto the front seat and got into the back seat.
Lin Qingping: ??? He wants to sit here? How can he sit here?
"Don't move!" He carefully lifted her feet.
Because she didn't know what he was going to do, she didn't move. Mainly because she was afraid of hurting her foot again. She really didn't want to go back to the hospital.
Finally, he sat down in his seat and put her feet on his lap.
What was he doing? Was he holding a book for her? She thought about the scene and found it very strange.
He just turned to the first page and began to read.
Lin Qingping: ???
Is this to be read to her?
"Don't you feel dizzy when you read in the car?" she blurted out.
He looked at her and said, "Can I be the same as you?" Then he continued reading.
Lin Qingping looked at him, speechless for a moment.
He said he was a rough man, rude and uncultured...
Oh, you look like a rough guy now?
Lin Qingping sighed secretly, he didn't expect that he could listen to books in this era. Forget it, he could just listen to the books for free, so he had to listen to them reluctantly.
His voice was actually very pleasant to hear, mellow and deep. He had long lost his accent after more than a decade of military service, and because he had studied in the capital for a few years, his northern accent had become more pronounced. When he was reading, it was actually very pleasant to hear...
As Lin Qingping listened, she gradually closed her eyes and became drowsy due to his voice.
In a daze, I could still hear his voice, reading the novel word by word.
She didn't know when it stopped. She opened her eyes in a daze and looked at him. Her eyes were hazy as if she had just woken up, as if asking: Why is there no sound?
So he continued reading.
Read all the way to the capital.
Even if Lin Qingping fell asleep, he continued to read.
Lin Qingping slept particularly soundly despite the noise and did not wake up until the entire journey to the capital.
Finally, it was Gu Juncheng who woke her up and told her, "We're here."
"Are we there yet?" She woke up sleepily.
"Well, let's go to the hospital first, and then we'll ask the doctor from the capital to take a look." He stood outside the car and leaned in to hug her.
Lin Qingping felt that there was something wrong with his words. She had just woken up and her mind was not very clear, so she asked casually, "Why is your voice hoarse? Do you have a cold?"
Gu Juncheng: …
Oda: ...After reading for several hours, it would be strange if I wasn’t mute!
Gu Juncheng didn't say anything and just carried her into the hospital. Because it was night, they went to the emergency room to see the patient.
The doctor looked at her medical records and discharge records and let them make their own choice: they could continue treatment in the hospital or go home to recuperate and come back to the hospital for follow-up visits on time.
"I want to go home!" Lin Qingping chose immediately, and fearing that Gu Juncheng would object, she said to him very firmly, "You said it yourself, I can do whatever I want after returning to the capital! I am free!"
Gu Juncheng finally did not raise any objections and took Lin Qingping back home.
It was already night when we arrived in the capital, and after going to the hospital, when we returned home, the house was pitch dark and the lights were off.
Originally, Lin Qingping thought Zhiyuan and Sister Zhao had gone to bed, but when Gu Juncheng looked around, he found Zhiyuan's room was empty.
"They should all be sleeping at my sister's place." Gu Juncheng returned to Lin Qingping's room and said to her.
"What about you?" Lin Qingping stared at his feet. "Don't go any further! Go to your sister's place too."
At this time, Oda came up to say goodbye, "Captain, sister-in-law, I have completed my mission by sending you safely. I will leave first."
"Where are you going?" Gu Juncheng turned around and asked seriously, "I'm just resting at home, where else are you going?"
Oda scratched his head, looking embarrassed.
"Why are you being so polite to me? Shouldn't I stay at your house when I go there? Why do you want to stay outside when you come to the capital? You've been working hard all day!" Gu Juncheng walked out, "Come on, I'll take you to sleep in Zhiyuan's room."
Gu Juncheng not only took Xiaotian to Zhiyuan's room, but also showed him the bathroom and toilet in the house, and then returned to the room.
Lin Qingping actually knew that Xiaotian had no obligation to send them back to the capital, he was just helping them. It was indeed tiring to drive for a whole day, and according to the custom in her hometown, she had to let the guests stay at home. Moreover, her house was very spacious, so having a guest stay was no big deal.
However, she felt uncomfortable knowing that this matter was arranged by Gu Juncheng.
This is her home! He has been removed from this family, what right does he have to make arrangements? And he still regards this place as his territory?
So, when Gu Juncheng entered the room, her face looked very bad.
"What's the matter? Shall I get you some hot water?" he said as he came in.
"Gu Juncheng, have you forgotten? This is my house, not yours?" She leaned on the bed and looked at him coldly.
"I know." Gu Juncheng said, "Just one night. After tonight, ask Sister Zhao to come back to sleep and take care of you. Xiaotian will go home tomorrow, and I should also go back to school."
After he said that, he went to get some hot water.
Now he was very skilled at doing these things. He "cleaned" her up in no time, leaving her no room to struggle. Then he went to take a shower himself.
When he came back, he was only wearing a towel wrapped around his waist and walked into Lin Qingping's sight.
He is thinner than before, but his muscles are still well-proportioned and his figure is still upright.
Lin Qingping looked away after just one glance, not only because of his well-proportioned muscles with rolling water droplets on them, but also because of the several shocking scars on his body.
It hurt her eyes.
"Gu Juncheng! Are you a hooligan?" She suppressed the discomfort in her eyes and heart, and covered it up with angry rebukes.
"I'm here and I have no clothes left." His voice was still a little hoarse, like a piece of sandpaper scraping against one's heart.
"Then what are you doing in here?" she scolded.
He opened the closet, took out a quilt, spread it on the floor, and lay down inside. "Lin Qingping, go to sleep."
Lin Qingping looked back and saw that he had wrapped himself tightly in the quilt.
"Why are you sleeping here?"
He closed his eyes and said after a while, "Call me when you remember tonight."
"But I..." she wanted to say, how could she sleep like this?
Before I could finish my words, he said, "Isn't it common to sleep casually in the ward? Go to sleep now? I'm very tired today too."
Lin Qingping: …
