Chapter 166 A bowl of egg noodles late at night
The light in the room was dim, and the touch of white in the dark blue quilt was particularly obvious.
Gu Zheng walked to the bed and sat down. This was clearly his lounge, but he felt a sense of restraint as if he was intruding into someone else's territory.
The quilt that was covering me last night was now gently covering the kitten, creating a harmonious and beautiful scene.
Gu Zheng stretched out his hand in a daze, and rubbed his fingertips on the pink cheek. The warmth and softness made him dizzy.
Her cheek moved under the quilt. He Jing was not sleeping well. The messy scenes in her dream made her waver between wakefulness and sleepiness.
Qisi's throat was torn open, the spaceship was stained with blood, and the crocodile's eyes were pierced...
Suddenly, a warm feeling came over his face, and a familiar gentle breath dispelled the blood in his dream. He Jing couldn't help but lean towards him, mumbling incoherently, "A Zheng..."
The tall man froze instantly, his broad palms being grasped by a pair of warm small hands, and the cheek that had just been touched by fingers was now pressed against his palm.
The electric current flowed along the palm of his hand to his heart, and Gu Zheng's shoulders and back bent into an unnatural arc.
His heart seemed to be failing.
I don’t know how much time passed before there was a gentle knock on the door.
The girl on the bed's eyelashes trembled as she struggled to open her eyes.
"Go to sleep, it's okay."
Only after the girl fell asleep again did Gu Zheng slowly get up, stretch his stiff shoulders, open the door and walk out.
Yang Ziang leaned over to take a look and lowered his voice to ask, "Has he not woken up yet?"
"Well, are we there yet?"
"It's been a while since we've been here. Mr. Gu seems to have heard about this and is on his way."
Gu Zheng nodded, "Tell Wen Xi to get ready, he's going to have a fever again."
"OK!"
Gu Zheng took out his coat from the closet, turned around and went back to the bed. After thinking for a while, he took off the badge and epaulettes on it. After making sure that there was nothing hard, he carefully lifted the quilt.
"Um……?"
"It's okay, go back to sleep." Gu Zheng said in a low voice, wrapped the girl in his coat, straightened his back and picked her up.
The sudden feeling of floating in the air pulled He Jing out of the chaos. She looked at her chin in a daze and couldn't help but reach out to touch it.
His jaw tensed instantly, and the muscle lines were like a fully drawn bowstring. Gu Zheng's throat rolled, and he looked down to see that the person in his arms had fallen asleep again.
"Oh, what a kitten."
Gu Zheng's voice was very low. Yang Ziang, who was following behind him, stopped and asked, "What's wrong? Captain."
The man shook his head and walked out.
Soon after returning to Gu's house, He Jing's temperature rose again. Shen Wanzhou wiped her sweat with a handkerchief with a distressed look on her face.
At dinner time, I asked the kitchen to cook some porridge and coaxed everyone to drink it.
He Jing leaned in a soft embrace in a daze, the faint fragrance of flowers made her want to cry.
"Aunt……"
"Well, be good, drink a little more. You'll have more strength after eating a full meal!" Shen Wanzhou sat on the edge of the bed, blowing the spoon to cool it down little by little, and carefully fed it to her mouth.
He Jing was a little confused by the burn, and vaguely felt embarrassed, "I can do it myself..."
"It's okay, be good, open your mouth..."
After finishing a bowl of porridge quickly, He Jing fell asleep again in a daze. He woke up several times during the night and saw a tall figure sitting beside the bed.
"...Gu Zheng?"
"Hmm, thirsty?"
He Jing followed his words blankly, "...thirsty."
I saw the tall figure swaying, and then the person was helped up and a cup of warm water was handed to his lips.
He Jing blinked and swallowed obediently. His burning throat instantly felt much better. "Go and rest."
"It's okay, is there anything that hurts?"
He Jing felt it, shook his head, and then his stomach started to growl...
"Are you hungry?" Gu Zheng chuckled.
He Jing said awkwardly, "I feel like I can eat a whole cow."
"Let's go downstairs and eat."
Gu Zheng said as he took a coat from the side and put it on her. Then he naturally took her hand and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
"Grilled fish?"
“…This won’t work.”
"Ah...the seafood porridge?"
"This one won't work either."
The lights in the corridor were dim, and two shadows, one long and one short, overlapped as they swayed. Wu Yu's figure swayed, and he watched from a distance without following.
He Jing was led to sit at the dining table, his whole body lying on the table like a pool of water.
As the heat from the water rose, Gu Zheng's expression became unclear under the dim light.
The slightly cool touch of the table stimulated He Jing's half-awake mind. This was not a dream.
Finally, when He Jing was about to fall asleep, he was awakened by a bowl of hot tomato and egg noodles.
"Still eating?"
"……eat!"
Sweet and sour, very appetizing!
Gu Zheng looked at the kitten eating hard and his heart softened.
"You really don't want to eat something?" He Jing puffed up his cheeks and looked up at people.
"...No, you eat it."
"Okay." He Jing nodded and slurped the soup.
She didn’t know if it was because she was too hungry or what, but these were simply the most delicious noodles she had ever eaten.
Ah~ How useless!
But it smells really good!
He Jing ate up the bowl as big as a washbasin, and finally could only lie on the sofa and let Gu Zheng rub his belly obediently.
His palm, covered with calluses, rested on her belly through the blanket. Gu Zheng felt helpless and asked, "Isn't it uncomfortable?"
“It’s uncomfortable… but it’s not uncomfortable when I eat…”
Gu Zheng chuckled and applied even force to his hands.
"It's already past three in the morning. Will this delay your work tomorrow?"
"No, I'll wait for the research next."
He Jing was a little excited, "Will you go with us?"
"Well, I'm responsible for your safety."
He Jing's emotions, which had been dormant for the day, gradually began to awaken. His eyes curved slightly, then drooped again. "Did Serin catch him?"
"No," Gu Zheng was silent for a moment, then continued, "Qisi is not dead. He woke up after being rescued."
"What?" He Jing sat up suddenly, his cat eyes widening like bells! There was a hint of relief in his tone, "He's not dead?!"
"Yes, the wound on the neck is scary, but he is still breathing."
He Jing closed her eyes and felt relieved. Fortunately, otherwise she would have had nightmares for the rest of her life.
"He admitted to all the charges and said it was for money."
"How is this possible?" He Jing was in a daze and wanted to say, "You didn't believe it, did you?" But he met Gu Zheng's eyes that saw through everything.
Serin is so arrogant, he must have something to rely on.
"Where's the bracelet?" Does that count as evidence?
"There are no fingerprints of Serin on it. The drugs and guns came from the black market, and we can't find the buyer."
There was silence between the two. Gu Zheng lowered his eyes and said, "Sorry, Xiao He."
"Hey, it's okay~" He Jing smiled again, "I beat Serin to a pulp, but in the end, it was my profit."
Gu Zheng was silent for a while, then raised his eyelashes, and waves surged in his dark blue pupils. "Believe me, the truth will not take too long."
"good."
