Oops! The sickly Mr. Gu fainted again

Chapter 111: Mr. Gu groans and begs for a touch

"fine……"

"I won't feel uncomfortable if you are here..."

Ye Xingyao was suddenly stunned by Gu Yuchen's weak words.

She held his hand on her face with heartache, but was shocked to find that his hand was trembling slightly.

A feeling of fear, panic, heartache, and confusion instantly came over her. She couldn't tell whether his shaking arms were due to the cold or the pain.

"Gu Yuchen... your hands are shaking..."

"Cold……"

"Still... it hurts?"

Gu Yuchen held back his breath for a few seconds, and then looked at Ye Xingyao with weak eyes. After a few seconds, he moved his Adam's apple, and weak and pale words floated out of his throat:

"It's very cold..."

"It hurts too..."

His words sounded so light, but they hit Ye Xingyao's heart like several thousand-pound stones.

These were the words she had tried so hard to hear from him today, but she hadn't expected that she was not prepared to hear them at all.

He told her that he was cold and that it hurt. But Ye Xingyao felt that these two words were like a knife cutting her heart repeatedly. She felt even more distressed and panicked, and could not do anything to help him.

Gu Yuchen half-opened his eyes and stared at the girl in front of him. The panic and helplessness in her eyes made his eyes tremble noticeably.

It was an expression that broke his heart.

He couldn't help but slowly reach out his hand and gently stroke her tear-stained cheek with his cold fingertips, trying to wipe away those crystal clear tears.

He endured the pain in his body, and gently and firmly rubbed away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingertips, and then a weak voice fell into Ye Xingyao's ears:

"fine……"

"I can bear it..."

Seeing that his fingertips were cold and he didn't even have the strength to speak, but he was still trying to comfort her, Ye Xingyao pinched her palm unconsciously. After a moment of hesitation, she remembered that she had to continue to cool him down physically.

She slowly took his arm off her face, dipped a cotton swab in alcohol, and gently wiped it on his arm over and over again.

"It will be a little cold..." Ye Xingyao frowned, her tone revealing a hint of worry and helplessness. She stared at the frail person in front of her, feeling helpless and distressed.

"But your fever hasn't gone down yet, we need to lower it now..."

"Bear with it for a moment... okay..." she said softly, as if she was afraid that one extra decibel would disturb him.

But after she said this, she felt a bitterness in her heart. She was helpless in the face of his pain, and in the end, he had to endure it alone.

Ye Xingyao stared at his tightly closed eyes, expecting Gu Yuchen's response. But the person on the bed just nodded slightly and didn't say anything.

The cold cotton swab wiped on his arm, causing Gu Yuchen to tremble all over. He could only endure it for two or three minutes before he secretly pulled his arm back and put it into bed.

"Gu Yuchen..."

"Your fever is 38.6 now. If it doesn't go down, you'll need to take antipyretics tomorrow..."

"It will be even more uncomfortable then..."

"Can you hold on a little longer..."

Ye Xingyao looked at Gu Yuchen who was trembling all over, her voice trembling with heartache.

Gu Yuchen panted lightly, trying his best not to make his rapid breathing sound obvious. He tried his best to calm his breath, then gently opened his lips and spoke weakly in a whispering tone:

"Yaoyao...I'm cold..."

"It's very cold..."

Ye Xingyao's hand holding the cotton swab shook noticeably.

She looked at Gu Yuchen's frowning face, and the heartache and bitterness seemed to block her throat, making her unable to utter a word.

She silently reached her hand into his quilt, avoiding the gel patch on his body, and slowly stroked his abdomen, slowly transferring her warmth to him with her palm.

Ye Xingyao's palms were very warm, and when she placed them against Gu Yuchen's cold body, he actually felt as if a warm current was flowing from his abdomen to his heart.

For some reason, he seemed to feel that the coldness just now seemed to gradually dissipate, and a feeling of relief and relaxation began to gradually occupy his senses.

Ye Xingyao didn't know if it was a psychological effect or if Gu Yuchen was really feeling better. She just felt that his breathing seemed to be more even than before, and the frown between his brows seemed to have eased a little.

She rubbed him gently for a few minutes, and seeing that he seemed to have really relaxed a lot, she slowly withdrew her hand and prepared to continue wiping him with alcohol to cool him down physically.

"Hmm~" Gu Yuchen felt her hand pulling away, and immediately frowned, humming a "hmm~" sound.

Then he grabbed Ye Xingyao's hand that was wiping him and put it back on his abdomen.

"More..." He said these two words in a weak and slow voice.
