“No need.” Before Yan Xi could finish, Gu Shen gave her the answer. His eyes were already covered in a layer of coldness.
Having been crippled for so many years, he was already used to it and did not want a stranger to mess with his legs.
Yan Xi had already expected him to reject, so she revealed a smile and made her voice as soft and gentle as possible. “Gu Shen, I know it’s not easy to heal your leg, but as long as there’s hope, we shouldn’t give up. I’ll accompany you. Let’s go and give it a try, alright?”
Gu Shen pursed his lips but did not change his mind. “No matter how much I try, the outcome will not change. It’s just a waste of time.”
“Medical technology is changing every day. Maybe we’ll find new methods and techniques to treat it.”
Gu Shen stared at her with a cold gaze. “Am I embarrassing you so much that you can’t wait to cure me?”
After being disappointed time and time again, he no longer held any hopes. This was but another hope that would leave him disappointed again.
He had had enough for more than ten years.
“Tve never thought that way.” Yan Xi’s heart ached at the sight of his cold gaze. She took a deep breath and looked straight at Gu Shen with unprecedented determination. “I just want you to become better. Gu Shen, you are meant to be an eagle soaring in the sky, not trapped in this tiny wheelchair.”
She wanted to see Gu Shen stand up, never having to look up at others again. She wanted him to see the world, and wanted him to not be distracted by this leg.
He should stand at the top of the world and be respected by everyone.
Gu Shen remained expressionless. ‘I’m used to it.”
He did not need people to remind him over and over again that he could only be a cripple who could not stand up.
A dead silence suddenly descended on the room.
Yan Xi looked at him and slowly held his hand. “Gu Shen, the final outcome is still uncertain. Do you really want to kill the beginning because of uncertainty? I promise you that I will accompany you from the beginning to the end. I’ll be by your side.”
Gu Shen looked at her quietly for a few seconds with an expression that Yan Xi couldn’t decipher. After a while, he said, “It’s very late. You should sleep.”
Yan Xi could tell that he was resisting, but she did not want to push him too hard. With disappointment, she raised her tone and said, “Gu Shen, good night.”
In the quiet study room, Gu Shen looked down at his legs, the frustration and anger in his heart growing.
He casually picked up something on the table and was about to smash it, but the moment he saw what he was holding, his hand suddenly stopped in midair.
It was Yan Xi’s medical book.
Gu Shen pursed his lips tightly to suppress his anger. Eventually, he put the book back to the table, afraid that when Yan Xi woke up finding her book tom in pieces, she would be furious.
Back in her room, Yan Xi was very sad, leaning against the bed frame with a pillow.
She thought that as long as she mentioned it to Gu Shen, he would eventually agree. But now it seemed like Gu Shen was so hopeless about his legs that he didn’t wanna try anymore.
Ifhe did not even try, his legs would never recover.
Yan Xi fell onto the bed and kicked it impatiently.
She was determined to make Gu Shen go diagnose his legs no matter what, even if it meant stunning him and kidnapping him.
The next moming, Yan Xi sneezed and woke up from her sleep.
She then realized that she fell asleep last night, thinking about something, and forgot to cover herself with a blanket.
No wonder she kept feeling cold throughout the night. Yan Xi sat up on the bed with her dizzy head and couldn’t help but sneeze.
Yan Xi trudged downstairs, feeling groggy, but much to her surprise, she did not see Gu Shen. It was only seven o’clock now. Did he go out early because he was angry at her?
Yan Xi gritted her teeth and then sneezed. “Xiaoyue!” She called out, her voice slightly hoarse.
A few seconds later, Xiaoyue ran over. “Madam, what can I do for you?”
“Do we have cold medicine at home?”
“No. Usually, when Master is sick, we’ll call a doctor over to diagnose him. Do you have a cold? I’ll get Doctor Fang to come right away…”
Yan Xi waved her hand. “No need. Help me buy some cold medicine..”
