CHAPTER 504: CHAPTER 311: THE PLOY OF THE HANDSOME MAN

His gaze darkened, and he wanted to take out a cigarette to smoke, but then he remembered he was in the hospital ward and put it aside.

Qian Wei understood that he didn’t want to continue the topic, so she changed the subject, "Did the doctor say anything about your injury?"

Both of Gu Qingchen’s hands were wrapped in white gauze, and with his clothes on, Qian Wei could not see his back.

Qian Wei remembered from Ji Su’s WeChat messages that it was his back that was injured. What she hadn’t anticipated was both his hands being bandaged in white gauze as well.

"I am a doctor myself..." Gu Qingchen signaled that she needn’t worry. He wanted to get some water, reached out his hand but stopped halfway.

Qian Wei stood up, picked up his cup of water, and brought it to his lips, "Let me do it!"

Her fragrance was as pleasant as always, drifting towards him actively. Gu Qingchen seemed very thirsty, gulping down the water, but choked on it and coughed several times.

"Take it slow..." Qian Wei quickly patted his back to help him catch his breath. She intended to pat his back but found that the coughing had caused blood stains to seep through his shirt, "Doctor Gu..."

Gu Qingchen, however, was nonchalant, "It’s okay. I’ve seen patients with much worse injuries than this! Did I scare you?"

Qian Wei looked at him; he was speaking lightly, but who doesn’t feel pain when they bleed?

She gazed at him, "Do you still want water?"

"Yes, I’d like more," Gu Qingchen nodded.

Qian Wei was very thoughtful; after he finished a cup, she poured him another cup of hot water, but it was too hot, so she gently blew on it to cool it down.

Gu Qingchen said nothing, just quietly watching her.

When Qian Wei had cooled the water in the cup and tested the temperature on the back of her hand, she brought it to his lips again: "Drink slowly, bit by bit, no rush... don’t choke, the wound might open, and that will hurt..."

The water Gu Qingchen drank, plain boiled water that should have been without any distinct flavor, tasted to him even more delicious and satisfying than the mythical ambrosia of Turquoise Pool.

He drank the water, and even though it was winter, he began to sweat.

Qian Wei noticed the beads of sweat on his forehead and said with some surprise, "Doctor Gu, the water shouldn’t be hot anymore, why are you still sweating? Does the wound hurt so much that you can’t bear it?"

Today, Qian Wei was wearing a very pretty knitted sweater. Such a soft sweater beautifully showcased the curves at her front, and being so close to Gu Qingchen, he could sense her body fragrance!

Yet, even with desire and sensation stirring inside him, Gu Qingchen could only endure. It was rare for Qian Wei to visit him, and he certainly didn’t want to scare her away!

"I’ll go call the doctor!" Qian Wei expressed her concern for his wound.

"No need!" As she turned to leave, Gu Qingchen grabbed her small hand.

His palm was thick and rough, the hand of someone accustomed to holding surgical tools.

Her small hand was soft and smooth, typical of a beautiful woman’s hand.

Even though they had made contact many times before, at that moment, he still felt his heartbeat quicken.

Qian Wei wanted to pull away her hand, but Gu Qingchen held it tighter, not allowing her to withdraw it.

She saw the sweat on his brow now coming down in large droplets, and she spoke softly, "I’m not leaving now; I just want to call a doctor!"

As she said this, her face suddenly turned red. He wasn’t asking her to stay; what was she talking about?

Gu Qingchen, however, smiled. His smile was bright and cheerful, as if all the gloom of the past days had dispersed in that moment, and she was his sunflower.

"I don’t need a doctor; I want another cup of water!" Gu Qingchen gazed at her.

"But..." Qian Wei was still worried about his injury.

At this moment, Gu Qingchen said to her, "Why don’t you open my shirt and check the wound?"

"I’m not a doctor," Qian Wei said softly.

Yet, in his eyes, she was his best medicine. What he needed wasn’t a doctor, only her.

Although Qian Wei said that, she still poured another cup of water, sat across from Gu Qingchen, and gently blew on the water in the cup.

When Qian Wei was about to feed him water again, Gu Qingchen suddenly looked up, causing the water from the cup to spill onto his clothes.

"I’m sorry..." Qian Wei saw that a large spot was dampened.

"It’s okay!" Gu Qingchen took secret pleasure in the mishap, "There are clean new clothes in the cabinet, just get one for me to change into!"

Qian Wei immediately went to get the clothes and then, seeing both his hands wrapped in bandages, she had no choice but to start unbuttoning his shirt...
