Oops! The sickly Mr. Gu fainted again

Night falls.

Ji Yan sat at his desk, staring blankly at his phone with lifeless eyes.

The phone kept playing the scene of Gu Yuchen generously admitting that Ye Xingyao was his girlfriend.

His brows were furrowed, but his eyes seemed to be looking through the screen, somewhere unknown.

After a long while, he picked up the phone and said to his secretary, "Please book me the earliest flight to City A tomorrow."

Ji Yan seemed to be thinking deeply about something, his eyes became deeper.

Then he picked up his phone and sent a message to Ye Xingyao:

[Yaoyao, is it convenient for us to meet tomorrow?]

-

hospital.

Gu Yuchen stopped moving because of a burning pain in his stomach, and the hand on Ye Xingyao's neck scratched unconsciously.

Ye Xingyao noticed that something was wrong with him, opened her eyes and slowly stood up.

Gu Yuchen closed his eyes and lay on the bed, breathing shallowly with his mouth open.

"What kind of medicine is this..." He began to feel that this pain was too familiar, and reached out to pull out the needle in annoyance.

Seeing this, Ye Xingyao quickly pressed down his hand to prevent him from making the next move.

A hint of anger flashed in her eyes, and she wondered what was wrong with this guy that he always had to stage a needle-pulling scene.

"Don't pull it out!" She said in a rather aggressive tone, silently angry.

Gu Yuchen endured for a few breaths. The burning sensation in his stomach was like a piercing pain. He suppressed his urge to press on it and tried to use his breathing to regulate his gradually irritated mood due to the pain. After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes and said to her:

"Yaoyao...if I lose the antipyretic medicine, I'll have a stomachache..."

His tone was light, and he looked at Ye Xingyao with a frown and eyes full of pain and grievance.

Like waiting for an approved order.

Seeing the pain and forbearance in his eyes, Ye Xingyao clenched her hands unconsciously.

She suddenly felt powerless and could only watch him admit his pain silently, but she could not help at all.

She took a few deep breaths, and then tried to speak without trembling in her voice:

"You are not allowed to pull it out. You have a fever. If you don't take antipyretics, the fever will get worse..."

"Can you bear with it for a while..."

"I'm almost done..."

"Just bear with it for a while..." Her tone softened, feeling helpless and distressed.

Gu Yuchen frowned. The intense pain just now had caused his stomach nerves to become increasingly painful. The heat in his body and his hazy consciousness also made his head a little dizzy. The constant pain and stimulation made him upset at the moment.

"Tolerate?"

"But I have been patient for a long time..."

"I've been enduring since last night..."

"When I was reading materials at home, I was holding back..."

"When I came to the company, I was enduring..."

"I was also holding back when I was clarifying things in front of the reporters..."

"How long do you want me to endure..."

Gu Yuchen closed his eyes and frowned slightly while speaking. His hands silently grasped the corner of the quilt because of the pain, and his chest rose and fell with shallow breathing.

He seemed a little surprised that he said these words in his drowsy state, then turned his head to the other side and said no more.

But Ye Xingyao was stunned when she heard it and didn't know how to respond.

He had indeed been enduring it.

But she was powerless to do anything for him.

A strong feeling of powerlessness and heartache surged up, making Ye Xingyao feel that she had just said the wrong thing.

Gu Yuchen seemed to realize that his words just now made Ye Xingyao even more worried and distressed. He moved his hand that was inserting the needle, fumbled around the bed for a few times, found Ye Xingyao's hand, and gently held it.

Ye Xingyao's heart trembled at his action, and her eyes were full of heartache and guilt. She immediately held his hand tightly, but his palm was still cold.

It was so cold that Ye Xingyao felt panicky.

The air seemed to be frozen, and Ye Xingyao didn't know what to say or do to comfort him.

He is clearly in the hospital, but he is forced to endure the pain.

Her heart grew heavy.

"Jin Ran said that you had gastric bleeding..." Ye Xingyao frowned and said lightly, breaking the silence first.

"..."

Gu Yuchen did not answer after hearing this, as if he was not surprised by this sentence.

"You knew it a long time ago?" Ye Xingyao was a little surprised when she saw Gu Yuchen's calm attitude, and her tone rose unconsciously.

"When did it happen?" She asked with a frown, and one could tell there was some displeasure in her tone.

Gu Yuchen did not answer, but gently squeezed her thumb, which made the anger in Ye Xingyao's heart rise.

"You came to the company knowing that you were bleeding from the stomach?"

"Don't you know this is dangerous?"

"What if there's a piercing?"

"Do you take your body seriously?"

Ye Xingyao's tone gradually became heavier, and she looked at the person on the bed angrily.

She was both distressed and angry.

Gu Yuchen was silent for a while, his eyelashes moved slightly twice, and then he slowly spoke:

"I......"

"I don't want you to be written about by the media..."

After hearing this, Ye Xingyao's heart suddenly trembled and she softened.

He actually always cared about himself so much.

Ye Xingyao had never thought that Gu Yuchen would come to the company when she was so uncomfortable just to protect her from being written about by the media. Even though she had secretly imagined this before, she was still surprised and flustered when she heard him admit it himself.

She squeezed Gu Yuchen's hand a little harder, not knowing what to say.

Gu Yuchen always thought about protecting her when he was in unbearable pain, but she kept interrogating him why he did that.

It seemed as if she was heartless.

"I'm a little sleepy..." Gu Yuchen said in a light tone. After tossing and turning for a long time, he finally felt as if his brain was lacking oxygen and tired. He felt drowsy all over, and only the pain kept him awake for a while.

"Remember to tell me if you feel uncomfortable..." Ye Xingyao looked at him seriously and helped him pull up the quilt. Then she reached into the quilt and placed her hand on his upper abdomen. She was relieved only after she was sure that there was no cramp.

She picked up her phone and checked the time, only to find that Ji Yan had sent her a message.

Ji Yan wants to see her?

She was a little confused. She looked at Gu Yuchen's still slightly pale face and replied:

[Is there something urgent? Brother Ji Yan]

I may not have time tomorrow.

Ji Yan replied immediately: [Then the day after tomorrow, I have something very important to discuss with you.]

Ye Xingyao hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether she should go to see Ji Yan. But he said there was something important, and she subconsciously thought it was the announcement that Gu Yuchen had tampered with the exhibition system and joined forces with a mysterious foreign person to break through the anti-counterfeiting system.

[Okay, let’s contact each other the day after tomorrow]

She locked her phone, looked at Gu Yuchen's shallow breathing, and lay down on the edge of the bed.
