Huo Shaoheng watched Gu Nianzhi without blinking for a while; the room was eerily silent When she finally couldn’t stand his stare anyth curtains on the south wall, and muttered,”You also have French s here? I’ turned to look at it then adjusted her blankets “Theis bulletproof, so don’t worry”
She closed her eyes in defeat and was quiet One hand snuck out fro’s paja looked down at the delicate and pale hand He held it briefly and then tucked it back inside the blanket”I won’t leave, ok? I’’s er than Gu Nianzhi’s bedroom in her suite There was not only a tall ar situated across the rooh the blankets to see Huo Shaoheng carrying bedding and pillows froed them on the couch and repositioned it so he could see her better frohts and lay down to sleep With Huo Shaoheng acco her, Gu Nianzhi’s fear quickly dissipated Sleep hit her in a flash and she i looked at Gu Nianzhi’s direction, before he finally drifted off to sleep

The nextHe was accustoht and slept an extra hour He took a shower and ca, peacefully nestled in her blankets, yet her tiny face was unnaturally flushed His heart dropped as he reached out to touch her forehead and realized that she had a fever Recalling the unlocked French s in her rooht a chill then Her body had been unable to handle the cold and severe shock, and so it had broken into a fever Gu Nianzhi rarely got sick and on the rare occasions that she did, they were usually ive her lance before he gave Chen Lie a call
Chen Lie was shocked that Gu Nianzhi had fallen sick as soon just after a night in the Huo household He rapper his pen on the desk and said, “Other people would have to be hospitalized at 39 degrees, but Nianzhi is ok so long as she doesn’t hit 40 degrees”
“Nonsense,” Huo Shaoheng retorted “Even a healthy person’s brain would be fried at 40 degrees You’re a shao back to school”
Chen Lie hated it whenever Huo Shaoheng questioned his qualifications as a doctor when it cahed incredulously “Is that so, Huo Shaoheng? And as it that—” but before he could get another word out, Huo Shaoheng had hung up He then looked around and found a thermometer hich to measure Gu Nianzhi’s te it down, he decided to let her rest and go outside for breakfast
“Elder Cousin, you’re awake! But, where’s Miss Gu?” Huo Jialan had been in thethewalked in “I wasn’t sure what Miss Gu preferred, so I had Mrs Chen make a C City style breakfast; would you like to take it to her and see if she likes it?”
Huo Shaoheng observed the C City breakfast platter that had been prettily arranged ” I’ll take it to her in a bit Thank you forall of this”
There was a clatter fro area, still half asleep He quickly straightened up when he saw Huo Shaoheng standing at the table Although he was dressed co Wenjie saw that it didn’t do anything to hide his well-toned body; the lazy air about hiracefully about the roohtly eh he was not much shorter than his cousin, the differences in appearance and er co Wenjie standing in the entrance and gave hi,” he called, with a friendly face Huo Shaoheng took a seat and looked at the table laden with steaee, fried donuts, plates of etables, pitchers of milk He then leaned forward to Huo Jialan, and said, “Thank you for this wonderful spread as well” He turned to Zhang Wenjie and asked “Do you want so Wenna had just entered the dining room at that moment and her eyes widened at the quaint scene she itnessing Her Elder Cousin was truly a completely different person than he had been six years before In the past, he hadn’t even spared the, yet noas so polite to Wenjie and Huo Jialan! Of course, Zhang Wenna thought, it could be because he learned to better conceal his es and distaste, now that his rank was higher; Zhang Wenna could understand the need to do so She was conflicted about what to believe and how to feel about this change in her cousin, but she walked over and nodded at Huo Shaoheng “Goodturned to look at her “Morning”
Zhang Wenna sat beside Zhang Wenjie and gave hi his own confusion, then looked to Huo Shaoheng “Elder Brother, where’s Miss Gu? Why isn’t she here for breakfast?”
Huo Jialan had also been wondering the saood once they cool down,” she said fretfully
The orderlies brought Huo Shaoheng’s special breakfast over before he could respond to their inquiries His food was entirely prepared by the military orderlies; even the kitchen used to make the meals were located in a separate area apart froiant e plate of beef buns, Huo Jialan’s mouth twitched with distaste
“Elder Cousin, it’s not good to eat these things early in the h protein ite had to consume such foods in order to ensure that the level of nutrition he need to intake with his degree of activity in thedidn’t bother to explain and said, “I’ve only eaten this since joining the ranks”
Zhang Wenjie was envious as he eyed Huo Shaoheng’s warm slices of bread and the thick strips of bacon—he wished that he could have a portion of the steak or even one of the beef buns
Huo Shaoheng noticed his longing gaze and passed the plate of pan-fried buns to hi Wenjie was flattered “Is this really for me? It’s not for Miss Gu?!”
“She’s sick, so she can’t eat these” Huo Shaoheng picked up his cutlery to and told his orderly, “Have awith me from now on, so be sure to remember to prepare her meals too”
The orderly confirmed the request and asked, “What does Miss Gu prefer?”
“So fresh; she’s sick now so you can add a bitordered casually as he polished off the steak and moved on to the beef buns
Huo Jianlan rubbed her hands anxiously “Elder Cousin, is Miss Gu ill? What kind of illness is it?”
“A fever She caught a chill last night” Huo Shaoheng finished his breakfast and drank a large cup of coffee He rose up fros’ father, Zhang Baochen, androo, Aunt Zhang” Huo Shaoheng bowed slightly in greeting as he carried a plate of breakfast out
