He knew Mu Aoqing's temper and weak temperament, even if the sky fell, he would hold on to it if he could, and he was scared like this at this time, so you can imagine how scared she was.

The weather was very dry in the early summer, and Mu Aoqing was wearing thin pajamas, sweating all over, but she still felt very cold. He asked Mother Liu to go out and cook a few side dishes she loved, and then went to bed, stroking her hair with his big palm, Mu Aoqing turned sideways and drilled into his arms, she needed him now, and she didn't leave him for a moment. Through the layer of shirt, his heartbeat could almost be heard clearly.

He took her into his arms and whispered, "You scared me to death." ”

Mu Aoqing said from the morning: "He's dead?" And another, "Go home?" Except for that, no complete sentence has been uttered until now.

She reached out and touched his face, opening her mouth as if to whisper, "I'm fine." ”

Chu Ziming hoped that she could be coquettish at this time, even if he lost his temper at him, he didn't want to see her still stubborn, he lowered his head and kissed her face, "Fool." ”

In the evening, Chu Ziming coaxed her to drink a few mouthfuls of porridge, but she had no appetite, and she was about to vomit out if she drank it again, so she didn't force it.

Every hour, he takes her temperature and wipes her body with a towel.

She may be uncomfortable, the whole person is very sleepy, talking in a daze, and falling asleep intermittently.

woke up from a nightmare several times and cried, Chu Ziming couldn't coax it no matter how she coaxed, as if she couldn't escape from the dream.

Tossed until more than four o'clock in the morning, the fever subsided, Chu Ziming went out to warm porridge for her, brought it in and fed her.

I ate a little more than yesterday, and my condition is much better, at least my face is bloody.

"Let's sleep a little longer." Chu Ziming stroked her hair.

Mu Aoqing shook her head, she didn't sleep well this night, she didn't dare to sleep, when she closed her eyes, it was all Gu Chenghao's appearance before he died, and it was full of blood.

This fear is the same feeling when I was six years old and saw my mother's love die in front of me, and blood sprayed onto the car window.

Chu Ziming also didn't sleep all night, "Then go sit on the balcony for a while?" ”

"Hmm."

He simply took her out of the quilt and carried her to the balcony in the posture of a princess.

It was still dark, and when she raised her eyes, she could see a few stars in the distance, and the wind on the balcony at this time was very strong, and she broke out in a cold sweat, which was a lot cooler and more comfortable, as if the pores that were depressed had been opened.

Chu Ziming put her on the single sofa and coaxed her in a low voice, "You wait a while, I'll go get a piece of clothing for you to drape." ”

Before he turned around, he was grabbed by her, the woman's big eyes looked up at him, showing a rare unguarded and undisguised vulnerability, and her voice was a little hoarse, "I'm not cold." ”

Chu Ziming's heart softened, he looked down at her for a while, sighed lowly, leaned over again to pick her up, and then sat down himself, let her sit on top of him, and said in a low voice, "Sleep like this when you're tired." ”

How could she have so much sleep to sleep, but he himself, a little unhappy, but refused to let him go. Then take advantage of the opportunity to stick to him while you can't leave him.

The face was lying on his chest, in fact, it was a little cold now, especially when she was sweating, but she didn't feel cold when she was held like this.

"Chu Ziming?"

"Huh?"

Her long hair was draped over her shoulders, gently caressed by his hand. The woman's voice was low and soft in the quiet early morning with the wind, "You say, will Gu Chenghao's unjust soul come to me?" ”

Chu Ziming glanced down at her chin, and then said slowly like coaxing a child, "He won't, because he has already gone to hell, how can the people in charge there let him out?" And he didn't dare, with me, I showed up once, hit him once. His chin rested on her shoulder and continued, "Xiaoqing, if he wants to find me, I killed him." ”

Mu Aoqing stopped talking, she thought in her heart, Gu Chenghao, if you want to find it, come to me, don't go to Chu Ziming, don't go to him.

Mu Aoqing curled up in his arms, and finally whispered, "If you're sleepy... Just close your eyes and go to sleep. ”

She knew that her mental state was basically paralyzed, and there was only one last string left.

Chu Ziming looked at the shadow cast by her long eyelashes, and finally couldn't hold back, and lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek, "What do you want to eat in the morning?" ”

She didn't open her closed eyes, rubbed in his arms, and muttered and replied, "I want to eat the dumplings cooked by Mother Liu, I ate them yesterday morning, but I forgot what they tasted like." ”

"Okay."

Probably because the illness was not completely cured, and she was still nestled in her arms that gave her a sense of security, and she fell asleep again.

After about half an hour of her sleep, Chu Ziming still carried her back to bed, put her down and turned on the light, the woman's hand grabbed him as if consciously, and her head followed, frowning, as if she was not steady, and whispered his name in his mouth, "Chu Ziming..."

He left only a small dim lamp, and then lay back down, still holding her.

Her face was buried in his chest, and her hands were gripping his arms.

....

At about eight o'clock in the morning, Mu Aoqing opened her eyes and subconsciously shouted Chu Ziming's name, there was no one around, and she panicked again, "Chu Ziming!" ”

There were some hurried footsteps, and sure enough, after a while, the man's tall and straight body appeared in front of the bedroom door, frowning, a pair of eyes locked on her, staring at her for a while, and then said, "Sleep full?" ”

Mu Aoqing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Why don't you sleep more?" ”

Chu Ziming curled his lips and smiled, "Don't you want to eat dumplings?" I'll help Mother Liu wrap it. ”

"Oh."

She did say that she wanted to eat dumplings.

Seeing that Chu Ziming was still looking at her, she said, "You can rest for a while." ”

"What? Feel sorry for me? ”

"No, I'm afraid you'll poison the dumplings."

....

Chu Ziming asked her to change her clothes, wash up a little, and take her to the kitchen.

Mu Aoqing is very good at cooking, and Mother Liu saw that her young lady's face was much better, and said while making dumplings, "Thanks to Young Master Chu, I haven't been idle for a moment from yesterday to morning, and I am wiping your body and coaxing you again." ”

Mu Aoqing lowered her eyes, then looked up at him, "Thank you." ”

Liu's mother laughed and said, "When my young lady was fifteen years old, she had to learn to cook with me, but that day not only almost burned the kitchen, but also cut her fingers, a total of five fingers on her right hand, three of them bled out, and she hasn't cooked since then." ”

Of course, Mu Aoqing remembered this incident, when she was about to participate in the piano competition, she missed a good opportunity because of a hand injury.

Chu Ziming smiled faintly.

Dean and Dr. He came out of the guest room one after another, gave each other a little face, and then walked to the dinner table and sat down, one was a psychiatrist who had come to China from the United States to develop, and the other was a Chinese American from the United States.

Lu Nuan went downstairs, saw Mu Aoqing, walked over and grabbed her arm and said, "Sister-in-law, how are you?" Is it better? ”

"It's much better, it makes you worry about Lu Nuan." Mu Aoqing replied.

Lu Nuan pulled her to sit down, and when she saw the fragrant dumplings, she was very happy, "I like to eat dumplings the most, and when I was in Australia, I always pestered my aunt to cook dumplings for me." ”

She looked around, "Where's Aunt Li?" ”

Mother Liu took out a bowl of dumplings and handed it to Mu Aoqing, saying, "This is Miss's." ”

Chu Ziming said, "Aunt Li has returned to her hometown and will come back in three days." ”

"Oh~" Lu Nuan ate a dumpling and exclaimed, "Mmmmmmmm ”

Seeing that everyone present was full of praise, Mu Aoqing took a bite, and Mother Liu stood beside her, looked at her, and took a bite when she saw her for a long time, and said, "Miss, isn't it appetizing?" ”

Mu Aoqing shook her head, "No, it's delicious, Mother Liu's cooking is the best." After saying that, I barely ate a few more.

She was in this mood for a week, and it seemed that nothing was going on.

"Thank you for the past few days." Mu Aoqing poured him a glass of water, "I'll go back with Mother Liu tomorrow morning." ”

"So what? Specially come over to be courteous? ”

"No, thank you so much."

"Well, then let Huang Yi send you tomorrow, go rest first, and I'll go to the study to deal with some work."

For a week, she followed him almost wherever he went, and he stayed with her when he slept at night, only today he said he was going to deal with work.

Anyway, she herself said that she was leaving, doesn't this mean that she is fine? What's so hypocritical?

There are a lot of things that the company has accumulated this week, and it was busy until twelve o'clock, and I was worried that Mu Aoqing would not be able to sleep, so I put down the unfinished work and returned to the bedroom.

Mu Aoqing really hadn't slept yet, the lights in the bedroom were all turned on, she sat on the bed with a pillow, and the door rang, which startled her.

"Are you sure you can live alone? Are you going back? Chu Ziming asked.

"Well, almost."

He was close, close, and she could smell the faint smell of tobacco on him.

Smoked?

Mu Aoqing shrank back, and then raised her face and said with a smile, "I can't rely on you all the time." ”

The man didn't say a word, just looked at her.

"I'll go out and drink water." She got out of bed and bowed her head to walk past him.

However, as soon as he walked to his side, his arm was grabbed, and Mu Aoqing was about to go to see him, her waist was imprisoned by one arm, and in the next second, her legs left the ground.

Chu Ziming picked her up and put her back on the bed.

"Wouldn't you be scared if there was no one in the living room?"

He knew she was scared, but he still scared her.

Chu Ziming glanced down at her, as if he felt a little stuffy, he unbuttoned two buttons casually, and said lightly, "You wait for me to pour water for you." ”

Mu Aoqing looked at the man walking towards the living room, and couldn't help but purse her lips and said, "I know I'm selfish. She took a deep breath, her clean, slender fingers wrinkled, looked at him and whispered, "I'm sorry." ”

Chu Ziming paused, looked at her sideways, cold and straight, stared at her eyes with deep eyes, pursed the corners of his lips, and said slowly and lightly, "I know you need me now and rely on me." Perhaps, you have always been like this, but at this time you can find my goodness better. ”
