This was the first time Chang Ru saw another side of Gu Xi, which was completely different from the passionate look she had seen during the interview: "You are also a sharp-tongued girl. I really admire you today, but you should not quarrel with others like this in the future. You should set an example. Is there anything that cannot be resolved calmly?"
Gu Xi pouted: "Who asked them to say Wang Xu first? There's no way they are born with opposing positions and hatred."
Chang Ru also knew about Wang Xu's family affairs: "You children should not get involved in the affairs of the previous generation. Just remember that good and evil will be rewarded in the end. You should make good connections for yourself and not get involved in this dirty water all day long. Do you understand?"
Gu Xi also nodded in reflection: "I must control my temper in the future."
Seeing her sincere attitude in admitting her fault, Chang Ru couldn't help but ask again, "What's going on between you and Wang Xu? You're speaking up for him like a tigress protecting her cubs."
Gu Xi chuckled, trying to get away with it: "Let it be."
In the afternoon, I visited several families. At first, they were reluctant to send their children to school, but later they all used Gu Xi's tricks: "Other families have agreed, but your family disagrees. If it gets out, people will criticize you and your reputation will be ruined. Others have made progress, but your family is lagging behind. Let me tell you something. This matter of sending children to school was handled by the village chief according to the instructions of the town leaders. Do you, a farmer, want to go against the leaders?"
After hearing this nonsense, everyone dared not object and sent their children to school willingly. The issue of school registration was completely resolved.
Wang Xu had not been home for eight days. After having dinner at Grandma Yin's house, Gu Xi sat in a daze in the yard. The temperature had dropped a lot in the past two days. After sitting for a while, she felt cold all over. She hurried to boil some hot water and prepared to take a bath to warm up. Without the laborer, she had to do everything by herself. Gu Xi was not strong enough, so she ran back and forth many times before filling the bathtub with water and boiled water twice.
When I soaked in the bathtub, I felt comfortable all over and my tense muscles relaxed a lot: When will Wang Xu come back? There is no phone call I can call. It's so annoying that he has been away for so many days. He thought about it and cursed in his heart, and soon fell asleep.
When she woke up again, she was woken by the cold. The water had become completely cold. Gu Xi stepped out of the water tremblingly, and the skin on her fingers and toes were all wrinkled.
She drained the water from the bathtub and didn't dare sit outside in the yard. She was shivering with cold and hurried into the house. The quilt was also very cold. Gu Xi was shivering in the quilt alone. She wanted to use the hot water bottle, but she was too cold to go out.
At this time, I missed Wang Xu even more. The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I felt. I started to cry while shaking. The more I cried, the more uncomfortable I felt. The more uncomfortable I felt, the more I cried. I didn't know how long I cried. I fell asleep because I was tired of crying.
She was dazed and heard someone calling her. She opened her heavy eyelids and it seemed like Wang Xu was calling her. Gu Xi threw herself into Wang Xu's arms. His embrace was so warm that her body immediately warmed up. After hugging him for so long, she even began to feel hot. Gu Xi felt uncomfortable and pushed him away.
After pushing the door open for a moment, he was shivering all over again. When he regained consciousness, he realized that the room was dark and he was just dreaming. Wang Xu didn't come back at all.
I was shivering with cold and my skin was a little painful. Based on my experience before the time travel, I knew I had a fever. I touched my forehead and it was indeed very hot, but I had no strength in my body and I didn't dare to leave the bed. It was impossible for me to get out of bed to get medicine, let alone go to the kitchen to boil water for myself to take medicine.
"Wu... Wang Xu, you bastard. I'm dying of illness and you haven't come back yet. I won't let you go even if I become a ghost."
I fell asleep again in a daze, my body feeling cold and hot at the same time. Just when he was in dire straits, a pair of warm hands touched his forehead, and then his body was shaken: "Gu Xi, Gu Xi... wake up, you have a fever..."
He was unconscious and couldn't open his eyes, but he could still say, "Am I a ghost? Wang Xu, you bastard, I'm sick. When you come back, the grass on my grave will be three meters high. You'll just have to be a bachelor forever."
Wang Xu felt distressed when he heard her mumbling incoherently, and hurried to the kitchen to pour her a cup of hot water so that she could take the medicine first. However, the thermos in the kitchen was empty. He could only sigh and boil half a pot of water to finish it as soon as possible.
I searched her medicine bag and luckily there was antipyretic medicine, otherwise I would have to send her to the hospital in the middle of the night. He took out the hot water bottle again, and when the water boiled, he hurried back to the bed and hugged Gu Xi. She was still shivering. Wang Xu wanted to beat himself to death. If he had been faster and came back a day earlier, Gu Xi would not have gotten sick.
Estimating the time, he went to the kitchen to pour a cup of hot water, filled the hot water bottle, ran back to the room, and helped Gu Xi up: "Be good, open your mouth and take the medicine."
Gu Xi subconsciously opened her mouth and Wang Xu stuffed the medicine into her mouth. He then handed the cup to her mouth: "Come and drink some water to take the medicine. Be good, drink more and you will feel better after sweating."
Gu Xi drank a cup of hot water and put a hot water bag on her feet. She felt a lot more comfortable. She finally opened her eyes consciously and saw Wang Xu's nervous face. She couldn't help wanting to cry again. Wang Xu looked at her and wished he would get sick instead of her.
"Before I left, you said you could take care of yourself. How come you have a fever? Are you still cold?"
Gu Xi nodded, indicating that she was cold, and hugged Wang Xu tightly like in the dream, feeling the warmth coming from him: "I just dreamed that you came back and hugged me like this, but I woke up and found it was just a dream. It was so cold, but you were not here. Woo..."
Wang Xu hugged Gu Xi tightly: "It's all my fault. I should have come back earlier. Take the medicine and go to sleep quickly. I'm here and I won't leave."
Gu Xi hugged him for a while and said, "Did you smoke again? You smell like cigarettes."
Wang Xu sighed, feeling like a little eunuch: "Then I'll go take a bath and change clothes before serving the master, okay?"
Gu Xi nodded in confusion: "Go quickly and come back soon."
Wang Xu almost knelt down and shouted "Zha".
Wang Xu took a cold shower as quickly as possible, changed his clothes and went back to serving his "master".
Gu Xi did not sleep well. She felt her body and it was still cold. Wang Xu did not care about the difference between men and women. He just wanted Gu Xi to feel better. He put on long sleeves and long pants and got into Gu Xi's bed, letting her hug him and warm her with his body temperature.
Gu Xi felt the source of heat, so she moved closer and pressed tightly against Wang Xu, and finally fell asleep comfortably. It was hard for Wang Xu, a grown man, to remain calm with a beautiful woman in his arms.
But the little girl was still restless and kept trying to put her hands into her clothes, feeling that the temperature directly touching her skin was hotter and warmer.
Wang Xu could only try his best to protect himself, and he had to keep repeating to himself: I am just a piece of wood, don't think about it.
