Chapter 226 What about me? Before the call was abruptly cut off and the busy tone sounded, Ji Shuyun's low warning came fiercely:
"If you dare to do anything to Ningning before I get here, you will bear the consequences!"
Hearing the busy tone coming from the receiver, Gu Huaiye put down the phone with a frown on his face.
He lowered his eyes to glance at his arms, which were numb from being hugged, and felt helpless.
From beginning to end, it was Xia Zhining who was "touching" her.
Perhaps it was because Gu Huaiye's gaze was too resentful, Xia Zhining's eyelashes trembled and she opened her eyes in a daze.
The moment his sight focused, what came into view was Gu Huaiye's handsome face, which was close at hand but had a dark cloud over it.
"Gu, Gu Huaiye?"
Her voice was hoarse as she had just woken up, and she subconsciously wanted to rub her aching temples.
But suddenly he found himself still holding the other person's arm tightly!
Gu Huaiye pulled his arm back, his movements revealing a hint of stiffness.
Xia Zhining's mind instantly flashed back to the clips of herself touching and commenting on others.
Her cheeks suddenly turned red, and even the tips of her ears were stained crimson.
Xia Zhining was unconscious due to the fever last night, but she vaguely knew that someone was taking care of her.
Gentle and patient movements, five-star praise!
She thought it was Song Qiuyi, the assistant lady on duty in the park.
I didn’t expect it to be Gu Huaiye!
Xia Zhining suddenly felt a sense of cognitive confusion.
Gu Huaiye stretched his numb arm and said in a tone that was neither happy nor angry: "You had a fever last night, and Xuetuan came to see me."
He paused, his eyes falling on Xia Zhining's flushed face, and added slowly, "Then, you grabbed my hand and refused to let go."
At this moment, Xia Zhining just wanted to disappear from the spot. She hurriedly picked up Xuetuan who was still sleeping beside her.
She buried her burning face in its furry body and tried to change the subject in a muffled voice: "Xuetuan! Thank you for saving me!"
Gu Huaiye's emotionless voice came from above his head. It was light, but with an unavoidable force: "What about me?"
Xia Zhining's heart skipped a beat. She raised her head and met Gu Huaye's deep eyes, her face becoming even hotter.
She quickly tried to make amends, "Of course I have to thank Dr. Gu! Um... I'll treat you to a meal!"
Gu Huaiye looked at her leisurely and reminded her, "Someone seems to owe me more than one meal."
"Make it up! I will!" Xia Zhining immediately held up three fingers and vowed, "This week alone, I promise to make it up to you, with interest!"
“You can eat anywhere you want!”
"Speak slowly and take it easy." Gu Huaiye glanced at Xia Zhining's pale lips and handed her a glass of warm water.
He glanced vaguely at the doorway and said, "Your brother is probably sharpening his knife right now."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to eat this meal of yours."
Xia Zhining was stunned: "Huh?"
"Your brother called just now, and I answered." Gu Huaiye's tone was calm and thunderous: "Unfortunately, he probably heard your comments...about 'feel' word for word, and seems to have misunderstood something."
Xia Zhining's mind buzzed, and everything went blank in an instant. Only three big words remained in her mind, frantically scrolling through the screen:
It’s over!
