Zhen Lang bought congee for Gu Jing

Zhen Lang sat on the bed next to Gu Jing He read a newspaper and she ate congee

Gu Jing glanced at the front page of the newspaper Zhen Lang read and she fuirl! Why did they write that I’m a boy?’

Gu Jing coughed and her hoarse voice sounded huskier than her usual voice

Zhen Lang put his hand on Gu Jing’s forehead, her fever returned He turned the page and he folded the newspaper in half to hide the front page ‘If you keep talking then many people will think you’re a boy’

‘It’s your fault!’ Gu Jing said

Gu Jing fisted her left hand and she ai’s face

Zhen Lang caught Gu Jing’s left hand when it o inches froently put her left hand down ‘Patients shouldn’t jump around Take your medicine and rest’

Zhen Lang caree Celsius But Gu Jing was his first patient who had a forty degree Celsius fever yet she had enough energy to jump around

Gu Jing ate the congee and she felt better except her voice sounded hoarse ‘I don’t need to take o find this newspaper’s headquarters to even the score with the writer and editor’

Zhen Lang se What diamond cut do you want?’

Gu Jing pretended to cough and she pulled the bed sheet over her body up to her neck ‘Ah! I have a headache and my bones ache’

On the inside Gu Jing cursed Zhen Lang – ‘You took advantage of ry and dizzy to trickto marry you!’

‘If your head and bones ache then rest,’ Zhen Lang said

Zhen Lang slid his hand inside Gu Jing’s shi+rt and he took out a thermometer under her arm He looked at the thermometer and he was relieved her body temperature reduced a bit He put the thermometer on a bedside table then he picked up the newspaper on his lap and he continued to read articles

Gu Jing laid on the bed She silently watched Zhen Lang who sat next to her He flipped through the newspaper and occasionally his arm brushed her head She felt like she was under a bird’s protective wing

‘Mr Vet,’ Gu Jing called softly

Zhen Lang put the newspaper on his lap His hand caressed Gu Jing’s cheek ‘Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?’

Gu Jing shook her head Zhen Lang retrieved his hand and she felt disappointed his hand left her cheek

‘Why do you want toasked

Even if Gu Jing didn’t eat pork, she knew pigs could run She never got married before, but at least she kneo people needed to love each other deeply before they gotloved each other, because clearly they were enemies not lovers

‘About… between a wife and husband if they want to live together they need to be co asked softly

‘Do you kno to cook?’ Zhen Lang asked

Gu Jing shook her head

‘Do you knoash dishes?’ Zhen Lang asked

Gu Jing kne to break dishes She shook her head

‘Do you kno to clean the house?’ Zhen Lang asked

Gu Jing kne to sweep floors, but if she mopped floors she would break the mop in half She shook her head

‘Do you knoash clothes?’ Zhen Lang asked

Gu Jing nodded her head

‘Do you kno to clean toilets?’

Gu Jing nodded her head

‘Good!’ Zhen Lang said

Zhen Lang lowered his face until only two centi’s face She felt his hot breath on her face

‘I’ll cook, wash dishes and clean the house But I don’t want to wash clothes and clean toilets Can you see how compatible we are? We’re coht? Of course we can take care of each other,’ Zhen Lang said

Gu Jing thought what Zhen Lang said sounded reasonable… but if he only expected his wife to wash clothes and clean toilets, she felt his expectations were too low His expectations of his ere extremely low compared to a parent’s expectations of a nanny She realised his reasons to marry her didn’t add up

Gu Jing pushed Zhen Lang’s chest ‘Do you think I’m a fool? Tell the truth!’

‘Tell the truth?’ Zhen Lang asked

Zhen Lang laid on top of Gu Jing’s body He kissed her lips and he bit her lips She tasted his lips and tongue

Zhen Lang held Gu Jing’s waist and he looked straight into her eyes She didn’t understand what the deep contemplative look in his eyes meant

‘What reason do you think I want toasked

On the inside Gu Jing cursed Zhen Lang – ‘If I knehy you want to marry me then would I need to ask you? I can’t read your mind!’

‘Is it because you want me to be conveniently in front of you every day to tortureasked

Apart fro happy when he tortured her, she couldn’t think of another reason why he wanted to marry her

Zhen Lang shook his head He kissed Gu Jing
