After seven years of being a "simp," she's reborn and no longer pursuing the aloof sc

Chapter

Liu Yuan noticed Gu Jinhuai's displeasure and hurriedly explained, "It's not that I'm unwilling, but the principal of the technical school has too strong a background. Even if I went, it wouldn't make a difference. I could only remind our students to be careful."

Liu Yuan looked grief-stricken, his expression tinged with helplessness.

That was explained so clearly that everyone present understood.

"Who?"

Gu Jinhuai looked directly into Liu Yuan's eyes and uttered a single, concise word, yet it was filled with an invisible pressure.

Liu Yuan looked troubled, but finally surrendered under Gu Jinhuai's intense gaze: "The Song family in the capital."

After I finished speaking, everything around me fell silent. A night breeze blew by, and my mind cleared up a bit. I subconsciously pulled away from Gu Jinhuai's embrace.

A cool breeze blew by, freezing my limbs.

After that night, I developed a high fever. I had many minor ailments before, but I rarely got a fever.

"Zhizhi, I'll go ask the instructor for leave for you. Remember to go to the hospital this morning."

Su Qi gave me a worried reminder and then hurried off to military training.

"it is good."

My voice was nasal, as if it had been torn open, and I replied weakly despite feeling uncomfortable.

The door closed, and the dormitory was quiet. I drifted off to sleep again.

In my dream, I saw Gu Jinhuai again.

"Gu Jinhuai, our son is still in the operating room, but you want to go see Song Yuan. If you leave today, we will get a divorce."

Gu Jinhuai looked at me impatiently: "Zhou Nanzhi, stop being unreasonable."

He still left.

The operating room door opened, and she silently left.

This tragic event kept replaying in my mind, causing me excruciating pain in my head. I clutched my head and wept bitterly.

"No, don't leave me!"

In a daze, I seemed to see a blurry figure, and the coolness felt very comfortable when I touched it.

"Zhou Nanzhi, wake up."

In the blur, I heard Gu Jinhuai's urgent voice.

I struggled to open my eyes, looked at his delicate chin, my eyes reddened, and my voice was weak, as if I would disappear at any moment: "Why?"

Finally, I passed out.

"Zhou Nanzhi, don't sleep."

Gu Jinhuai shouted angrily, but to no avail.

When I woke up again, it was three days later.

"Zhizhi, you're finally awake."

Su Qi ran to the bedside, gently held my hand, her eyes red.

"What's wrong with me?"

I asked in a hoarse voice.

Su Qi quickly poured me a glass of water. I held the glass and slowly drank a few sips, and my throat felt much better.

"You had a high fever and were unconscious in your dormitory. It was President Gu who noticed something was wrong and brought you to the hospital. You've been sleeping for three days now."

"Zhizhi, you have no idea how terrifying President Gu looked back then, with his gloomy and sour face."

"What exactly is your relationship with President Gu? I think he's very worried about you."

Listening to Su Qi's words, I didn't feel joy in my eyes, only confusion. In fact, sometimes I don't understand his hot and cold attitude either.

Seeing the confusion in my eyes, Su Qi didn't press me: "Alright, don't overthink it. Just focus on getting better. I've already asked the school for leave for you. Luckily, freshmen don't have classes these days, just military training. I've gotten quite a tan."

Su Qi was stumped when this was mentioned, and she cupped her face in her hands.

"Here, let me recommend a good sunscreen to you."

I took out my phone and sent her the link directly.

Will this work?

Su Qi asked.

"Of course, it's affordable, practical, and easy to use. I've used it before."

Actually, it was something I used quite well in my past life.

We had lunch together at noon. I originally planned to be discharged in the afternoon, but Su Qi said that Gu Jinhuai had instructed me before he left that I was not allowed to be discharged until I was fully recovered.

I was displeased, but my voice remained indifferent: "My affairs have nothing to do with him, and he can't blame you."

But Su Qi is very stubborn. She gave me a long lecture, and in the end, I agreed to let her stay at the hospital.

In the afternoon, Su Qi went back to school to continue military training. Before leaving, she was worried that I might sneak back in the afternoon, so she specially found a caregiver to watch over me.

"Zhizhi, don't blame me, but to be honest, President Gu's gaze was terrifying."

It's Gu Jinhuai again. I'm annoyed.

But I have indeed seen Gu Jinhuai lose his temper before, and it's normal for him to scare people. I just didn't expect him to take over the family business so quickly.

I thought I was fine, but then I developed a high fever again that night. I took some medicine before I lost consciousness. The caregiver was anxious to call Su Qi, but I stopped her.

"I'm fine after taking the medicine, you should rest too."

The caregiver who was looking after me was a middle-aged woman, who looked to be around 40. I couldn't bear to see her stay up all night, so I pointed to a folding chair in the corner and told her to go and rest there.

After watching her lie down, I also covered myself with the blanket to rest, my consciousness hazy.

After watching me rest, the caregiver ran out to make a phone call: "Mr. Gu, Miss Zhou has a fever again, but she just took some medicine..."

……

A sleepless night,

I spent my time in a daze.

The next morning, I opened my eyes as the first rays of sunlight streamed in.

The ward was empty. I glanced at the clean folding chair and realized that the caregiver had left sometime earlier.

Just then, the door to the ward was pushed open from the outside, and a tall figure came into view. I looked at the man who walked in, my expression slightly complicated.

Gu Jinhuai, dressed in a suit and tie, exuded a more mature and composed air.

But if you get closer, you'll see that his eyes are now devoid of emotion, his noble demeanor reveals a hint of weariness, his chin is slightly stubbled, and his tie is crooked.

"The doctor said you have qi and blood deficiency and weak immunity. Eat more foods that replenish qi and blood."

As Gu Jinhuai spoke, he opened the food box and handed the porridge to me.

I glanced at it, and remembering his domineering nature, I drank the porridge.

"how much is it?"

After a while, I asked the question after finishing my meal.

Gu Jinhuai stared at me, puzzled. I slowly said, "The hospital fees, and your food."

I finished speaking concisely, but did not receive a reply from Gu Jinhuai.

In the quiet atmosphere, I only felt an invisible sense of oppression.

A sudden ringtone broke the silence. Out of the corner of my eye, I glanced at the phone on the table. It was Song Yuan calling.

I instinctively tried to look away, but I found that Gu Jinhuai acted swiftly and decisively, hanging up the phone immediately.

The call ended, and suddenly a picture of me appeared on the screen. Behind me was the sunset; it was from the time I went hiking after the college entrance exam.

Before I could think about it, the screen went out, and Gu Jinhuai handed me the peeled apple.

"Gu Jinhuai, what's the point of doing this?"

I didn't take the apple. I stared at him coldly, my tone filled with annoyance, but the man seemed not to see it. He simply cut the apple open with a knife and personally handed it to my mouth.

"I……"

The moment I uttered the word, a small piece of apple was stuffed into my mouth.

"I will handle what happened yesterday. This is not a reason for you to abandon me."

The man spoke simply, his expression indifferent, and continued to calmly slice the apple for me.
