Yun Liuli watched in a daze as Gu Qingcheng walked toward her with his long legs crossed, getting closer and closer.
There was no smell of alcohol. Gu Qingcheng's brows furrowed even more. He reached out to grab Yun Liuli's arm and helped her sit on the sofa.
"Gu Qingcheng?!" Yun Liuli thought she was muddle-headed from the fever, and her heart was thumping wildly.
What was Gu Qingcheng doing here?!
Gu Qingcheng had never stayed overnight here before. Gu Qingcheng's assistant told her that Gu Qingcheng had gifted this place to her. Gu Qingcheng probably wouldn't come here in the future, so she could rest assured.
Seeing that Yun Liuli's face was unusually red, Gu Qingcheng subconsciously placed his hand on Yun Liuli's forehead.
So hot!
Yun Liuli's body temperature hadn't reached its peak yet, and she was still afraid of the cold. Gu Qingcheng's warm aura made her want to get closer to him.
"You have a fever!"
Gu Qingcheng used an affirmative sentence, his brows furrowed tightly.
Yun Liuli didn't say anything. Even now, Yun Liuli didn't know if this was a dream or if the person in front of her was real.
Inexplicable tears gathered at the bottom of her eyes and dripped down her eyelashes.
Gu Qingcheng felt a myriad of emotions when he saw Yun Liuli's large eyes staring at him and her tears falling without blinking.
Before he could say anything, Yun Liuli's jade-like hand was placed on Gu Qingcheng's face. She murmured softly, "I might be muddle-headed from the fever. I actually saw you!"
Gu Qingcheng's Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he pursed his thin lips.
"So good …" Yun Liuli mumbled softly. She straightened her body and stared at Gu Qingcheng's lips. She wanted to get closer, but because her entire body was sore and weak, she couldn't support her body. Her forehead landed on Gu Qingcheng's lips.
After a long while, Yun Liuli leaned into Gu Qingcheng's embrace and closed her eyes. "This is his scent. It smells good!"
Gu Qingcheng's body stiffened as he allowed Yun Liuli to carry him. It was only when he heard the young lady's even breathing that he let out a sigh, picked her up, and walked toward the elevator.
After entering his fingerprint, Gu Qingcheng pressed the button for the underground garage.
There was a car parked downstairs all year round, but Gu Qingcheng hadn't really touched it.
Soon, Yun Liuli was sent to the hospital.
Bai Jinyu was off today. After receiving Gu Qingcheng's call, Bai Jinyu didn't even think twice before calling his little girlfriend, asking her, Xu Wanwan, who happened to be on duty tonight, to go over to the emergency room to take a look at Yun Liuli.
Xu Wanwan had met Yun Liuli before, and because Yun Liuli was pretty, Xu Wanwan had been jealous.
Later, when she found out that Yun Liuli was the adopted daughter of Bai Jinyu's good friend, Gu Qingcheng, Xu Wanwan stopped making a fuss and subconsciously treated Yun Liuli as a junior.
By the time they arrived at the hospital, Yun Liuli's fever had already reached 39.8 ° C. They placed her in the infusion room and put her on an IV drip.
Seeing that Gu Qingcheng was wearing his home clothes, Xu Wanwan said to him, "Why don't you go back and rest first? I'll stay here and look after Xiao Liuli. I still have to be on duty anyway!"
After thanking Yun Liuli, Gu Qingcheng stayed by her side in the ward. Looking at Yun Liuli's smooth forehead under the incandescent light, he recalled how Yun Liuli had pressed her forehead against his lips just now. Gu Qingcheng's heart thumped slightly, and his brows furrowed even more tightly.
Yun Liuli was young and pretty, and she had all the right to be liked by others. Gu Qingcheng liked her too!
However, even if Gu Qingcheng's identity and risk factors were disregarded, the woman by Gu Qingcheng's side could be anyone but Yun Liuli.
Gu Qingcheng had promised Yun Liuli's father that he would take care of her and treat her like his own daughter!
If he couldn't take care of the daughter of his friend, who had risked his life for him, as his woman, how could his friend in the netherworld feel at ease?
Gu Qingcheng sat on the chair next to the IV drip bed with his legs crossed. When he searched for a cigarette, he realized that he was wearing his home clothes.
He frowned and took a long look at Yun Liuli, who was lying on the hospital bed. He got up and left the ward, calling his assistant to send him some clothes.
Standing in front of the window in the hospital's elevator, Gu Qingcheng looked at the gradually brightening sky. He hesitated for a long while between leaving and staying. In the end, he sighed and returned to the ward.
Yun Liuli opened her eyes and saw Gu Qingcheng sitting on the chair in a well-ironed suit, flipping through the company's documents next to him.
Her sleepy eyes were wide open, as if she was afraid that the person in front of her would disappear in the blink of an eye.
Their gazes met, and Yun Liuli held her breath, afraid that if she wasn't careful, she would drown in Gu Qingcheng's deep and serene eyes.
Gu Qingcheng kept his legs crossed and closed the document on his lap, his fingers tapping on the hard cover of the document from time to time.
"Is this how your boyfriend takes care of you? He doesn't even know that you're running a fever, and he hasn't even given her a call? "Gu Qingcheng's mature voice was as cold as usual.
Yun Liuli didn't say a word, merely looking at Gu Qingcheng.
"This boyfriend isn't up to standard. Don't hang out with him anymore in the future!"
Gu Qingcheng's words weren't meant for discussion. He had the domineering aura of someone in a superior position, and his tone was almost commanding.
Seeing Yun Liuli nod obediently, a hint of gentleness and warmth appeared in Gu Qingcheng's eyes. "I'll get someone to go out and buy you porridge. Have some later, and I'll send you back to the condominium. I've already applied for leave from school, so rest well at home today."
She hadn't forgotten how she had crossed the line with Gu Qingcheng last night, thinking that she was dreaming. She held back her thumping heart and asked Gu Qingcheng, "Last night, you were also at the condominium …"
"Otherwise, who would send you to the hospital?" Gu Qingcheng asked in a serious manner.
"Then I …"
Seeing Yun Liuli stutter, Gu Qingcheng said, "You fainted on the sofa!"
Then, did she have a dream last night?
Yun Liuli was a little suspicious, but she couldn't see any unnatural expression on Gu Qingcheng's face. She bit her lip.
After finishing the porridge, Gu Qingcheng sent Yun Liuli back to the condominium and was about to leave.
For some reason, Yun Liuli asked, "What time are you coming back?"
"What's the matter?" Gu Qingcheng put on his suit and adjusted his sleeves.
Yun Liuli shook her head. Recalling that night on Gu Qingcheng's birthday, she had already made up her mind to keep her distance from Gu Qingcheng and continue living the way he wanted.
She said seriously, "I'm going back to school in the afternoon. Although I applied for leave today, I still have classes tomorrow morning …"
"If you're sick, then rest well at home!" Gu Qingcheng said and was about to leave.
Yun Liuli gazed at Gu Qingcheng's back view, only asking in a soft voice, "Then, are you coming back?"
"My flight this afternoon …"
Yun Liuli nodded, not caring if Gu Qingcheng could see it or not.
Hearing the sound of the elevator arriving, she clenched her petite hands by her sides. "What am I staying here alone for?"
