Chapter 071: Dream Reality
"Yes, yes. β
She felt that someone was calling her, but her body seemed to rise and fall, and when she stretched out her hand, it was only pitch black.
"Yanran, Yanranβ"
Someone touched her, and she tried to open her eyes, but she couldn't move.
"How so...... Look...... It's been a long time......"
Several sounds came into her ears intermittently, and she felt a little irritated, and wanted to wave them away, but she seemed to be unconscious.
She simply ignored it, forced herself to block out the sounds, and then fell into a deep sleep again.
Several figures in the room kept coming in and out, busy.
Xu Yichen probed her forehead with his hand from time to time, but he still had a high fever. He frowned, his heart was very irritable, the antipyretic medicine had been used, but it did not improve, and the dose was already the maximum she could bear.
"No matter how you burn it, you can't go back, is it not adaptable to water and soil. Xu Yizhou pushed the door in, took the bag of ice again, and handed it to Xu Yichen.
"Possibly, and she's not in a good state of mind lately. Xu Yichen wrapped the ice pack in a towel, avoiding her hand on the drip and cooling her down.
"Just now my grandfather called, and I said that Yanran was tired and had already slept. Xu Yizhou sat down at the end of the bed, looking at Gu Yanran with a pale face on the bed, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"Well, don't tell grandpa, he'll be worried. "If you tell the old man, it may not be necessary for him to come over immediately, he is too old to withstand the toss.
"Xu Yichen, this is not a problem, her physical condition is very poor, I suggest that she come here to recuperate, I have a villa on the outskirts of the city, which is very quiet and suitable for conditioning. Xu Yizhou looked at Xu Yichen with a serious face, "There are too many people and things in Dongcheng, and there are too many entanglements. β
"You think I didn't think about it? She didn't want to, and I didn't want her to give up what she liked, the doctor said, and it would help her get better. Xu Yichen combed her hair and stroked his hand over the scar on the right side of her face, the bump on it pierced his heart.
He looked at Gu Yanran, who was not sleeping peacefully, and wiped the sweat on her forehead for her, her breathing was a little heavy, and she opened her mouth and kept muttering something.
Xu Yichen leaned his ear closer, trying to hear what she was saying.
"My ...... My ......" Her voice was so soft that she couldn't hear what was being said behind it.
"Yanran, what's yours?" Xu Yichen raised his head to look at her lips, trying to tell from the shape of her lips what she was saying.
"Fish? Xu Yichen saw that her lips seemed to be saying this word, but he was not sure.
She was still muttering, and Xu Yizhou also came over to listen.
"Isn't he talking about 'jade'? doesn't she usually look like her jade treasure?" Xu Yizhou raised his head and looked at Xu Yichen, feeling that what he said was not unreasonable.
When he said this, Xu Yichen listened to what she said again, and felt that it was very likely that what she said was "my jade".
"Do you have any jade at home, bring all of it. Xu Yichen suddenly remembered that she had a high fever when she was fifteen years old, and she kept asking for jade.
Later, the Xu family found all the jade in the family, and gave it to her piece by piece, she lost it all, shattered it to the ground, and only quieted down when she got a piece of Hetian jade half the size of a palm.
Xu Yizhou didn't understand his intentions a little, but he still turned around and went to find it.
After a while, he took more than a dozen pieces of jade and jade bracelets, Xu Yichen picked them, took a smaller Hetian jade pendant from it, and put it in her hand.
She felt a chill in her palms in a daze, and she subconsciously clenched it.
Xu Yichen saw that she finally slept peacefully and put her mind at ease.
"So amazing?" Xu Yizhou's eyes widened on the side, what is the situation, just give her a piece of jade?
"She had a fever before, and it was the same, give her a piece of jade, and she will sleep extremely peacefully. Xu Yichen looked at her and smiled dumbly, "Even if she is asleep, she is very shrewd, she has to grab Hetian jade of this size, as soon as the other jade is given to her, she will throw it away, and those of similar size can't fool her." β
Xu Yizhou felt that Gu Yanran was really a peculiar existence.
From the time I first met her, she seemed to be like this, always liking things that ordinary girls don't like.
She can write beautifully and well, and he actually wrote not badly at that time, but when she gets up with you, he is simply cannon fodder.
She likes to read books alone, doesn't play with her mobile phone, doesn't play with computers, doesn't watch TV, never goes to bars, that's it, she never goes out shopping, doesn't buy shoes, clothes and bags, what is prepared at home, what she wears, he always feels that she is not an ordinary person.
Later, he stumbled upon a small storage closet filled with her collection of small items, and he touched it, almost not being killed by her.
Only then did he know that she also had what she liked to do, that is, to collect collections, calligraphy, painting, books, jade and goldware.
"You go get some sleep first. Xu Yichen probed her forehead, felt not as hot as just now, breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Xu Yizhou with a tired face, and let him go back to rest, "She doesn't have a big problem here, I'm just alone." β
"Then you wait and go to sleep, I'll change shifts with you. When he said this, Xu Yizhou suddenly felt sleepy, he yawned and exited the room.
After a long time, Gu Yanran felt that her body was clear, and her body was not as heavy as just now, and when she tried to open her eyes again, the sunlight outside the window was shining directly on her eyes, and she closed her eyes with some discomfort.
She moved her body, feeling sore and weak, her right hand seemed to hold something, she tried to touch it, a familiar feeling welled up in her heart, and in her hand was a piece of jade.
It turned out that the jade was not lost, it was still in her hand, she was frightened just now, she found that the piece of sugar jade she put on the table was missing, and she couldn't find it no matter how she looked for it, but she didn't expect it to be in her own hand.
"Anu. She tried to make a sound, but found that her voice was extremely hoarse, and her throat was still a little sore and a little dry.
"Awake?" There was a strange and familiar voice next to him, and Gu Yanran had not woken up from his dream
Come, for a while I didn't hear whose voice it was.
She opened her eyes again, blinked, adjusted to the light, the person in front of her gradually became clear, her brain was a little blank, this was ...... Xu Yichen? So who is she...... Could it be that she was dreaming again just now?
The interweaving of reality and dreams made her unable to adapt, she slowly picked up the piece of jade in her hand and put it in her sight, the look in her eyes dimmed, she finally accepted the reality, she is not Liu Chupei but Gu Yanran now, the piece of sugar jade has long been taken away by Wen Yanzhi.
Lately, she has been unable to distinguish between dreams and reality.
"Drink saliva to moisten your throat. Xu Yichen helped Gu Yanran up, put a cushion behind her, poured a glass of warm water, and helped her to drink.
After drinking a glass of water, she felt a lot more comfortable in her throat, she looked out the window, it was a little dark, "How many hours did I sleep?" She rubbed her head, still feeling a little groggy.
"You've slept for a day and a night, and it's the afternoon of your second day here. He set the quilt aside, put the back of his hand on her forehead, the fever had subsided, and he was finally completely relieved.
"Huh?" Gu Yanran was a little confused, why did he sleep for so long, but it's no wonder that dream is so long.
"You sit for a while, and then you get up and take a shower when you're comfortable, you have a fever, you're sweating a lot, and then you come down and eat something, you've been hungry all day. Xu Yichen took out a set of pajamas from her suitcase and put them next to her pillow, "Call me for something." He left the room.
Gu Yanran took the mobile phone and wanted to see if he had missed any news that day, but he was startled when he saw it, it showed that there were three missed calls from Old Man Xu, seven calls from Wen Yanzhi and a few unread messages.
She was so frightened that she hurriedly dialed Old Man Xu, and Old Man Xu heard that she was fine, but she was too tired to sleep too much before she put her mind at ease, and told her to take care of herself, so she hung up the phone.
Gu Yanran opened WeChat, and there were several documents sent by Wen Yanzhi, all of which were sorted out by Wu Hao, and some points of attention were posted later, and in the end, it may be because she didn't reply to the message for a long time, and they all sent:
I saw it and replied to me. β
'Where's it?' Why don't you reply to messages?'
'Went to your house and there was no one, what's wrong?'
Gu Yanran panicked, wouldn't he think he was abducted, she hesitated for a while, dialed the phone, and the other side was quickly picked up.
"Yes. His voice was a little eager, but his words were full of certainty, "You're abroad." β
"Well, yes. Her voice was still a little hoarse, and she tried her best to suppress it, not wanting him to hear it.
But when he heard it, he knew that "I have a cold?"
"No, no, I just didn't get used to it, so I slept too deeply, slept for a day, and didn't see any news from you, sorry for worrying you. Gu Yanran lifted the quilt and walked to the shower room.
Gu Yanran. The other side suddenly called her very seriously.
Gu Yanran's footsteps stopped, "What, what's wrong?"
"Let me know when you go out later. He paused, "I'll be worried." β
Gu Yanran's face
The temperature rose again, and she didn't know if it was because of her fever or because of his words.
"That-" she swallowed back the words she wanted to say, "Okay." β
She wanted to ask him what they were now, friends, or lovers, but she remembered what he had said before, and she couldn't ask.
"With whom?" Although he knew that she was abroad, he was still a little uneasy.
"And my brother. Gu Yanran thought about it, but still didn't say Xu Yichen's name, after all, the Xu family is deep, and the relationship between her and the Xu family is inconvenient to disclose to outsiders for the time being, even if in her opinion, he is not an outsider.
"Okay, when will you be back?" Wen Yanzhi lit a cigarette and took a shallow puff.
"It's going to be two weeks. She thought for a moment and gave a time that wasn't quite right.
"Oh?" Wen Yanzhi frowned over there, and said in an upward tone, "Did classmate Gu ask the teacher for leave?"
came and went again, Gu Yanran knew that he was going to use his identity as a teacher to press her again, but he had to bow his head, and she said flatteringly: "Teacher Wen, can I ask you for two weeks off?"
"It could be, butβ" The man on the other side chuckled, and deliberately stopped.
