Qin Zhi 'ai stared at the screen in a daze for a while. She couldn't help but open her eyes and peek at Gu Yusheng.
She didn't know if he was tired from reading the documents, but when she was about to look away, he suddenly closed the documents and threw them aside. He closed his eyes and raised his hand to pinch his eyebrows.
When she peeked at him, Qin Zhi 'ai noticed that the glass of water she had poured for him on the bedside table was empty. She hesitated for a moment, then stood up and walked over.
Gu Yusheng sensed that someone was approaching, so he opened his eyes and looked at her without saying anything.
She picked up the glass and filled it with warm water. When she returned to the bedside table and gently placed the glass on the bedside table, she saw the sugar roasted chestnuts that he had instructed her to buy during the day, so she said, "Master Gu, I'll put the chestnuts here."
Gu Yusheng turned his head and held out his arm when he heard her.
Seeing his action, Qin Zhi 'ai immediately picked up the chestnut and handed it to Gu Yusheng.
Gu Yusheng opened the paper bag and took out a chestnut. When he was about to shell it, Qin Zhi 'ai remembered that he had an injury on his back. If she used too much force, she was afraid that the injury would be affected, so she said, "Master Gu, let me help you."
Gu Yusheng paused while peeling the chestnut. He didn't say no, but he didn't agree either.
Qin Zhi 'ai couldn't figure out what he meant by his silence. She stood there quietly for a while, then finally moved a stool and sat on the edge of the bed. She reached out and took the chestnuts from Gu Yusheng's hands. She picked one up and began to peel it.
It was very quiet in the ward. Only the sound of her peeling chestnuts could be heard intermittently.
If he ate too many chestnuts before going to bed at night, his stomach wouldn't feel good. Qin Zhi 'ai knew it was time to stop and reminded him not to eat too much.
But she didn't stop peeling the chestnuts.
She found a new bag and put the peeled chestnuts in it. She said to Gu Yusheng, "Master Gu, I'll peel them for you first. You can eat them tomorrow."
Gu Yusheng said, "Hmm." He moved his eyes away from the top of her head and stared out the window for a while. In the end, he couldn't help but look at her reflection in the window.
Qin Zhi 'ai didn't notice that Gu Yusheng was staring at her through the window, but her woman's keen intuition told her that the atmosphere in the room had become a little strange.
Because she liked him, whenever the atmosphere between them froze, she would become especially nervous.
Qin Zhi 'ai peeled two chestnuts unsteadily with her fingertips. To ease her anxiety, she looked up at Gu Yusheng and said, "Master Gu …"
Actually, she hadn't thought of what she wanted to say, but after calling his name, she suddenly realized that there was something important she hadn't said to him. "… Thank you."
She was afraid that her words were too sudden and he wouldn't be able to react, so she added, "Thank you for that night. If it weren't for you, I think …"
She didn't finish her sentence, but she thought he understood what she meant.
When she called him "Master Gu," Gu Yusheng had already moved his eyes from her in the window to a street lamp outside.
After listening to her thank you, he said, "That's okay." After a long time, he said, "Master Gu, why did you …"
"Master Gu, why did you …" Qin Zhi 'ai seemed to be hesitating about something. After a few seconds, she continued to say, "… Why did you hit the person who hit me so hard?"
