Chapter 124: Chapter 124: Yan Luoxi Worries, Why Isn’t That Jerk Back Yet?

’Dawdling??’

’Hurry up and get in???’

’Wait, no!’

’Young lady, shouldn’t you be saying ’hurry up and get on’?’

Gu Yizhou’s eyes widened, and he stared at Su Qianqian in front of him with a dumbfounded expression.

Meanwhile, Su Qianqian was looking at him with an encouraging expression.

"Er..."

Gu Yizhou felt completely uneasy under her gaze!

’Alright then!’

’Since you insist, I won’t hold back!’

Gu Yizhou gritted his teeth.

And took off his jacket.

Su Qianqian: "..."

She stared at Gu Yizhou, dumbfounded...

’What is this???’

’This guy actually thought I wanted to... No wonder he said those things earlier!’

WHOOSH.

Su Qianqian’s face flushed red, all the way to the nape of her neck!

"Hey!"

"What are you doing?"

"Hurry up and put your clothes back on!"

Su Qianqian hurriedly said, covering her face with her hands.

"Er..."

"This... Isn’t this what you told me to do?"

Gu Yizhou asked, completely bewildered.

’What???’

Su Qianqian was utterly speechless!

’When did I ever tell him to take off his clothes?!’

"Don’t worry, I still have a shirt on underneath."

"I just don’t like sleeping with my jacket on, that’s all. Don’t overthink it."

Gu Yizhou seemed to have realized what was going on and said with a resigned look.

Su Qianqian: "..."

’Uh... so he was just taking off his jacket?’

’Was I the one with the dirty mind?’

’Wait... does that mean my mind is in the gutter?’

-_-||

’No way! It wasn’t me! I didn’t think that!’

"Pfft!"

"I wasn’t overthinking anything!"

"You’re the big pervert!"

Su Qianqian snapped irritably.

Gu Yizhou: "?????"

’I don’t think I called you a pervert, did I?’

’Lady, I was just taking off my jacket. You’re the one who let her imagination run wild, okay?’

To be labeled a pervert for no reason left him speechless with grievance. It was an injustice he couldn’t even begin to explain!

’As the old saying goes, ’Women and petty men are the most difficult to handle.’ The ancients truly weren’t kidding!’

’Forget it!’

’I’ll be the bigger person and not argue with you.’

Gu Yizhou awkwardly rubbed the back of his head and said, "Forget it, I’ll just make do on the chair. I’ll leave later after you’ve fallen asleep!"

As he spoke, he quickly put his jacket back on.

"Oh."

Su Qianqian gave him a huge eye-roll!

’She’s angry now and doesn’t want to talk to this stupid guy!’

Seeing this,

Gu Yizhou could only force an awkward yet polite smile.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the hospital room became a little awkward.

In the end, it was Gu Yizhou who couldn’t stand it anymore and broke the awkward silence. "Um, Classmate Su, you should get some sleep."

After speaking, he silently walked over to the chair at the side and sat down.

Su Qianqian glanced at him. Seeing that he really wasn’t getting into the bed, she angrily turned her head to face the wall, ignoring him.

’What a blockhead! A stupid blockhead!’

’You were just posturing! Couldn’t you have been a little more forceful, more proactive? I’m a girl, I’m obviously not as strong as you...’

Su Qianqian thought angrily to herself.

However, Gu Yizhou was naturally unaware of all this.

He sat silently in the chair, took out his phone, and started scrolling through foreign stock markets.

...

「At the same time.」

Over in Apartment 305 of the Binjiang No.1 Mansion District.

Yan Luoxi was currently curled up on the sofa, glancing toward the front door from time to time.

’It’s so late. Why isn’t that damn guy back yet?’

’He left in such a hurry. Where on earth did he go?’

’Could something bad have happened?’

’Did he really go ’eat seafood’ and get thrown in a cell?’

’No way, right? That guy can be a bit unreliable sometimes, but he wouldn’t be that kind of person, would he?’

Her mind raced with wild thoughts.

If she weren’t in her cat form right now, she would have gone out to look for Gu Yizhou herself.

Ever since she arrived, this was the first time Gu Yizhou had been this late coming back.

So, she couldn’t help but start to worry.

...

Time passed quickly...

In the blink of an eye, it was the middle of the night!

"No~"

"Don’t come any closer!"

"AHHH!!!"

A scream echoed throughout the hospital room.

Gu Yizhou was jolted awake.

He looked over at Su Qianqian.

He saw Su Qianqian flailing her arms and screaming.

It seemed she was having a nightmare.

He suddenly felt a pang of heartache for her.

"Classmate Su, Classmate Su, wake up!"

Gu Yizhou grabbed Su Qianqian’s hand and called out loudly.

"Ah~"

With another scream, Su Qianqian startled awake from her nightmare!

She still seemed a little dazed.

First, she glanced at Gu Yizhou.

Then she threw herself into Gu Yizhou’s arms!

"Er... (⊙o⊙) ..."

Gu Yizhou’s movements suddenly froze!

It felt like being charged in basketball.

"Yizhou, I’m so scared!"

"*Sob sob sob...*"

Su Qianqian said with a sob in her voice, huddled in Gu Yizhou’s arms.

Then she started crying outright, sobbing continuously.

For a moment, Gu Yizhou’s hands hovered awkwardly, unsure where to put them. Seeing her state, he sighed softly, then lowered his arms to gently pat her on the back. "It’s okay," he comforted her. "It’s okay, I’m here!"

"It was just a nightmare. It’s alright, don’t be scared!"

His voice was gentle, as if it possessed a magical quality, and Su Qianqian calmed down considerably.

She didn’t speak again, just curled up in Gu Yizhou’s arms, trembling and sobbing.

Clearly, the nightmare had terrified her!

Gu Yizhou could only continue to comfort her.

Until Su Qianqian gradually stopped sobbing.

And slowly fell asleep again in Gu Yizhou’s arms.

Gu Yizhou looked down at Su Qianqian, now asleep in his arms. Her eyelashes were still wet with tears, a sight that tugged at his heartstrings!

"Sigh~"

Gu Yizhou sighed softly, a trace of resignation flashing across his face.

He then silently reached out, gently wiping the tear stains from the corners of her eyes. He was about to lay her back on the bed, but her hands were latched onto his sleeve, tight as a drowning person’s grip on a life-saving straw. She refused to let go.

’This...’

Gu Yizhou watched as Su Qianqian, in his arms, kept shifting her position like a small child, trying to find a comfortable way to sleep.

For a moment, he didn’t know what to do. He could only remain motionless, letting Su Qianqian hold onto him.

And just like that, he held her, letting her sleep.

Gu Yizhou stared at the ceiling above, lost in a daze for a moment.

’What is all this...’

He lamented inwardly with a sense of resignation.

Time passed, second by second. When he felt that Su Qianqian was completely asleep in his arms, Gu Yizhou gently laid her back down on the bed.

After pulling the blanket over her, he moved the chair to the bedside and began to close his eyes and rest.

Perhaps because he was exhausted, Gu Yizhou also fell asleep without realizing it...
