When Xu Qingyao woke up, the room was empty.

She stared blankly at the ceiling for a few seconds, thinking that it was Gu Peiran she had seen in her dream.

Xu Qingyao hooked the corners of her mouth self-deprecatingly.

She always likes to be amorous, and she really thought that Gu Peiran would rush over from the company because of her phone call.

Maybe it's because people are sick and become vulnerable.

Xu Qingyao's eyes were a little sour, and she stretched out her hand from the quilt, wanting to wipe away her uncompetitive tears in advance.

As soon as her hand was raised in front of her eyes, she suddenly saw a medical hemostatic bandage attached to the back of her hand.

Well?

What is it?

Xu Qingyao got up, tore off the bandage, and saw the pinhole wound on the back of his hand.

Just as she frowned in confusion, the sound of the door opening and closing suddenly came from outside the room.

Footsteps followed, and the door was pushed open.

"What are you doing there? Burnt and confused? Gu Peiran asked.

He leaned against the door frame and looked at Xu Qingyao in the room with a calm face.

"You...... How could you ......" Xu Qingyao's eyes widened.

Gu Peiran took her words, "Why am I here?" ”

"I took care of you all afternoon, and you opened your eyes, and instead of saying thank you, you asked me why I was here?"

Xu Qingyao's expression was visibly flustered, and he hurriedly explained, "No, I just didn't expect you to really come over, I thought I was dreaming just now." ”

"Oh......" Gu Peiran said in a meaningful and protracted tone.

"So you think I'm even in a dream?"

"I didn't!" Xu Qingyao blushed and interrupted his nonsense.

Gu Peiran laughed and didn't continue to tease Xu Qingyao.

"Get out of bed when you wake up, I have someone bring white porridge and light dishes over, and eat some together."

Xu Qingyao nodded, and obediently followed Gu Peiran out of the bedroom.

On the dining table in the living room, there are several plates of delicate vegetarian dishes and two small bowls of white porridge.

It seems that it should have been sent by the Gu family's private chef.

"Eat, when you're done, I'll ask you what's going on." Gu Peiran said.

Xu Qingyao happened to be a little hungry, so she simply sat down at the table, and lowered her head and drank the porridge without waiting for Gu Peiran.

The shriveled stomach was finally filled with food, and Xu Qingyao squinted her eyes comfortably.

"Oh, little unconscionable fellow." Gu Peiran criticized in a whisper, but his eyes were full of connivance.

The two faced each other and finished their meal very quietly.

When Xu Qingyao wanted to wash the dishes, she was stopped by Gu Peiran.

"I don't need you to do it, someone will clean it up later."

I almost forgot that Gu Peiran, as the president of Gu's Group, was taken care of by someone for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and never needed to do it himself.

Xu Qingyao was also happy.

Her body had just subsided in fever, and she couldn't touch the cold water for a long time.

Gu Peiran pulled Xu Qingyao, sat on the sofa, and touched the temperature of her forehead again.

After confirming that the temperature was normal, he asked, "Tell me, why are you crying today?" ”

Xu Qingyao didn't expect Gu Peiran to come up and ask so directly to the soul, she looked away and replied awkwardly, "I've encountered something recently, so I'm not in a good mood." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Grandma, she was seriously ill again, she had a sudden cerebral obstruction, and she couldn't speak after the operation."

Gu Peiran continued to ask, "When is it?" Why don't you call me? ”

Xu Qingyao lowered her eyes, and her mood began to be depressed again.

"I forgot ......"

In fact, it was not that she forgot, but that she was afraid.

I am afraid of pinning my hopes on Gu Peiran, and then bear the result of being blocked and suspended again.

She couldn't hold it anymore at that time, and she didn't want Gu Peiran to become the last straw that overwhelmed her.

"I'm upset that you're doing this." Gu Peiran pinched Xu Qingyao's chin, forcing her to raise her head and look him in the eye.

"I don't want my wife to have such a big deal happen and not ask me for help."

"Xu Qingyao, you remember. You are my wife, and the one you rely on can only be me. ”

Gu Peiran's words were imprinted in Xu Qingyao's heart word by word.

Her lips trembled slightly, and she couldn't speak.

For a moment, Xu Qingyao especially wanted to ask Gu Peiran, was she already in love with her?

But her eyes fell on Gu Peiran's cold face, and her courage evaporated instantly.

Xu Qingyao thought of Zeng Yan again, and remembered that when Gu Peiran accompanied Zeng Yan for the prenatal examination, he also had this gentle appearance.

Gu Peiran ...... "She still didn't ask.

"You're pinching me."

"I'm sorry." Gu Peiran let go of Xu Qingyao's chin, stood up and straightened out his slightly wrinkled shirt.

"You have a good rest, I'm going back to the company."

Xu Qingyao nodded and did not stop Gu Peiran from leaving.

The living room was quiet again, and she leaned back on the couch, feeling her heart beating.

In my ears, in my head, in my chest, there was the sound of my heart beating.

Xu Qingyao covered her ears with self-deception, trying to block out the annoying sound, but her heart was still beating louder and louder uncontrollably.

Annoying Gu Peiran, annoying Gu Peiran......

Xu Qingyao muttered and scolded Gu Peiran, and she touched her face.

I didn't have a fever, but my hands were still very hot.

"Ah!!!h Xu Qingyao kicked her legs angrily for a while.

"It's annoying!"

Xu Qingyao was afraid that if she continued to think nonsense, she couldn't help but turn back.

She hurriedly found something for herself, flipped through the self-printed script from the bedroom, and began to prepare for the role practice in advance.

Xu Qingyao entered the play very quickly, immersed herself in the plot of the second female 'Zhao Ran', and left Gu Peiran behind.
