CHAPTER 60: DEADLY

Yi Shu realized it was Li Yan’s doing, nearly fainting, and cursed, "What a jinx."

Li Yan: ?

"Standing on someone else’s territory and telling them to leave, do you have a lot of nerve? She’s the farmhouse inn owner." Yi Shu didn’t dare reveal President Gu’s identity, but he could mention her being the owner.

Li Yan’s eyes widened: "Her? Farmhouse inn owner? Yi Shu, did you make a mistake..."

"Mistake? Mistake whether you’re sick? I think you’re sick, and quite badly." Yi Shu cursed angrily.

After cursing, he saw Chi Yu coming downstairs, approaching them.

Li Yan also saw Chi Yu, and stepped forward: "Brother Yu is coming down, Yi Shu isn’t responsible, and this woman she..."

Before Li Yan could finish, she saw Chi Yu walk straight to the woman.

"Yuanyuan."

Chi Yu appeared in front of Gu Yuan, looking pale.

Gu Yuan sized Chi Yu up and down, and said softly, "I thought you were dying, came to see you one last time, but now you seem quite spirited, take care and rest."

Yi Shu’s inner thoughts: How does Chi Yu look spirited at all??

He looks half-dead.

However, seeing President Gu, he does seem a bit better, that’s true.

As Gu Yuan was about to leave, Chi Yu gripped her wrist, his voice weak and feeble: "Yuanyuan, don’t go, I feel terrible."

Gu Yuan glanced at her wrist; his hand was excessively pale, and the blue veins on the back were particularly visible. She frowned slightly, looked up at him, and he did look very pale, as if he had gone through a severe illness.

Anyone unaware might think he was about to kick the bucket.

"Let go." She said.

Chi Yu didn’t let go, just looked at her pitifully.

Gu Yuan replied leisurely, "This is pointless."

Chi Yu hesitated a bit, afraid of making Gu Yuan angry, and eventually let go.

Gu Yuan, in a routine tone, asked: "Still have a fever?"

Chi Yu obediently nodded: "Yes, a little over 38° now."

Gu Yuan: "Dizzy, blurry vision, weak all over?"

Chi Yu still obediently nodded: "Yes."

After responding, added a sentence: "If Yuanyuan hugs me, I might feel much better."

Gu Yuan: "..."

Yi Shu: !

Li Yan, who had clearly heard the conversation, widened her eyes, looking incredulous.

What did she see??

What did she hear??

Chi Yu was whining to that woman??

Li Yan couldn’t believe what she saw with her own eyes.

Chi Yu had already dumped her, hadn’t he? But now this tone...

"Wishful thinking." Gu Yuan didn’t expect him to be this cheeky even when sick, truly shameless as always.

For Chi Yu, as long as he saw Gu Yuan, his mood naturally improved, and even his spirits lifted.

"What do you want for lunch? I can cook for you." Chi Yu said softly.

Gu Yuan: "No need to trouble you, focus on hanging in there, I have to go."

She couldn’t afford to delay any longer; this trip was squeezed out from her precisely scheduled time. Consider her a Bodhisattva, unable to bear human suffering, that’s why she came.

When Chi Yu saw Gu Yuan was leaving, he simply threw himself down on the ground.

Yi Shu was shocked: "Chi Yu! Chi Yu!"... Was Chi Yu planning to fully embrace this sickly helpless persona???

Gu Yuan was startled by Yi Shu’s shouts, turned to see Chi Yu had fainted again!

"So weak and still wandering around, do you not want to live?"

Gu Yuan gritted her teeth, crouched down to help, while the half-closed-eyed Chi Yu lying on the ground turned his hand over to hold her wrist, pulling it into his embrace: "... I do want to live, very much so."
