A smile appeared in Sheng Yanxuan's eyes. He reached out to pick up Chu Qingxue's hand and put it on his abdominal muscles. Chu Qingxue's fingers were frighteningly hot. She jerked her hand back, but was caught by Sheng Yanxuan.
"Do you really dislike me?" A disappointed expression appeared in Sheng Yanxuan's eyes.
Then he slowly let go of Chu Qingxue's hand, turned around and closed his eyes, seeming very tired.
"I, I didn't mean that..." Chu Qingxue explained anxiously. She didn't mind helping Sheng Yanxuan wipe his body. After all, she hurt him.
It was just Sheng Yanxuan's attitude that made her feel very guilty.
Sheng Yanxuan still kept his eyes closed and said nothing, his cold profile was tense, his thin lips were pursed tightly, and his whole body exuded a coldness that could repel people thousands of miles away.
Chu Qingxue's heart trembled and she wanted to say something more, but Sheng Yanxuan spoke.
"Sleep." Sheng Yanxuan's deep and hoarse voice escaped from his throat.
Chu Qingxue bit her lip, looking at Sheng Yanxuan's tense figure, with mixed feelings in her heart.
She didn't understand why she was suddenly involved in Gu Jue when everything was fine before, and Sheng Yanxuan was like a hedgehog with its hair blown off.
Chu Qingxue sighed and wanted to say a lot of things in her heart, but was rejected by Sheng Yanxuan.
That night, Sheng Yanxuan maintained the same posture without moving. He opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling.
Chu Qingxue fell asleep lying on the bedside at some point. Sheng Yanxuan looked at Chu Qingxue's peaceful and obedient sleeping face, and the irritability in his heart gradually disappeared.
The next morning, Chu Qingxue woke up. She rubbed her sore eyes, yawned and sat up. She saw Sheng Yanxuan half-leaning on the bedside reading a newspaper.
Seeing that Chu Qingxue woke up, Sheng Yanxuan closed the newspaper and said softly: "Wake up."
Chu Qingxue nodded, rubbed her sore shoulders, and stretched.
She hadn't finished stretching when Sheng Yanxuan's cold voice suddenly came.
"I'm hungry." Sheng Yanxuan threw the newspaper aside, leaned against the bed, and looked at Chu Qingxue with a deep look.
Chu Qingxue: "..."
Is this ordering her? Does Sheng Yanxuan really treat her as a servant?
She frowned and looked at Sheng Yanxuan. Seeing that Sheng Yanxuan's face was calm and unruffled, Chu Qingxue curled her lips and said, "Oh, okay."
Thinking of the way Sheng Yanxuan was sulking and ignoring her last night, Chu Qingxue felt a headache. She was afraid that if she didn't listen to Sheng Yanxuan's words, today would be the same as last night.
She was really afraid that Sheng Yanxuan would speak to her in a cold tone, which would cause her heart to stop.
The distant and indifferent look in her eyes made her feel strange and distant, as if she were separated by a thick layer of ice.
Seeing Chu Qingxue's heart was like a blunt knife cutting flesh, the pain was heartbreaking.
She didn't want to imagine that Sheng Yanxuan always looked at her with a gentle tone and eyes, so doting on her.
She once thought she would have that kind of pampering for the rest of her life, until Gu Jue destroyed her this time.
Chu Qingxue put away the chaotic thoughts in her mind. Now she only hopes to restore the former Sheng Yanxuan, instead of watching him gradually hate her.
Chu Qingxue cheered up and showed a sweet smile, "I'll buy porridge for you right away. Can I cook some side dishes later?"
She was lying on the bed with a crooked smile, looking pretty and smart.
Sheng Yanxuan turned the page of the newspaper with his fingers, and the paper made a slight rubbing sound.
He didn't even raise his eyes, said "hmm" and continued reading the newspaper.
The smile on Chu Qingxue's face froze at the corner of her mouth. Sheng Yanxuan's attitude was really strange. Could it be that the anger from yesterday had not gone away?
She raised her eyes and looked at the man in front of her, who was as arrogant as a flower on a high mountain. She was unwilling to give him any unnecessary glances, and Chu Qingxue felt frustrated in her heart.
Chu Qingxue lowered her eyes to hide the sadness in her eyes, responded softly, and got up to wash up.
Sheng Yanxuan still maintained a cold and dignified look. When Chu Qingxue turned around, he raised his eyes and stared at Chu Qingxue's back for a long time.
During the time when I was sick, did you get tired of me a lot...
After all, he has a bad temper and is moody. Apart from his handsome appearance and noble status, he really has no advantages...
Maybe it's because of this that Chu Qingxue chose Gu Jue, right?
Sheng Yanxuan's heart twitched faintly. He put his fist to his mouth and coughed twice, forcing himself not to think about that woman.
He wanted to see if Chu Qingxue really liked him.
When Chu Qingxue came back from buying porridge, she saw the man lying on the hospital bed with a pale face and dense beads of sweat on his forehead.
Chu Qingxue kept coughing, her heart skipped a beat, and she rushed forward to check on Sheng Yanxuan.
"What's wrong with you?" Chu Qingxue asked worriedly.
Sheng Yanxuan waved his hand and pushed away Chu Qingxue's support. He said with a cold face, "I'm fine."
Chu Qingxue frowned, Sheng Yanxuan didn't look like he was fine.
She quickly wanted to call the doctor to take a look, but her hand was grabbed by Sheng Yanxuan.
"Don't leave!" Sheng Yanxuan spat out three words weakly. Chu Qingxue looked at Sheng Yanxuan blankly, his eyes were red, and he seemed to be trying his best to control his emotions.
Chu Qingxue suddenly felt soft. She struggled to break free from Sheng Yanxuan's hands, but Sheng Yanxuan's strength became stronger and stronger, even a little crazy.
She was so anxious that Sheng Yanxuan suddenly hugged her and buried her head in the crook of Chu Qingxue's neck. Chu Qingxue felt Sheng Yanxuan's breath spraying on her neck, which made her feel a little itchy.
Chu Qingxue's body stiffened, she put her hands on Sheng Yanxuan's chest and pushed him gently.
"You...what's wrong with you?" She asked tentatively. Instead of letting go, Sheng Yanxuan hugged her even tighter.
Chu Qingxue struggled, but to no avail.
In the end, Chu Qingxue gave up her struggle and just touched Sheng Yanxuan's hair comfortingly.
She didn't know what happened to Sheng Yanxuan, but she simply wanted to appease Sheng Yanxuan's fragile heart.
Chu Qingxue's fingers touched Sheng Yanxuan's ears, which felt a little cold.
Sheng Yanxuan seemed to have found support at this moment. He hugged Chu Qingxue and refused to let go. His breathing was a little disordered. Chu Qingxue felt like she was holding a stove in her arms.
She thought for a moment, then gently pulled Sheng Yanxuan's arm on her shoulders, and then said softly, "Are you okay? Are you still feeling uncomfortable now?"
Sheng Yanxuan didn't answer. He closed his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.
Chu Qingxue waited patiently. Sheng Yanxuan's body was no longer as tense as before.
Sheng Yanxuan's eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes, his black pupils clear and translucent.
Chu Qingxue looked at Sheng Yanxuan with tears in her eyes. She couldn't bear it in her heart. Just as she was about to open her mouth to comfort, Sheng Yanxuan had already spoken before her.
"Why have you been gone for so long?" Sheng Yanxuan's tone was very calm, as if nothing had happened just now.
He is like an insecure child, longing for care and companionship.
Sheng Yanxuan held Chu Qingxue's hand tightly, as if afraid of losing it. Chu Qingxue could clearly detect his emotional changes.
