Marriage first and love later: Wife is hard to chase

Chapter 359
Gao Jinnan bowed his hand, indicating that he understood, and walked upstairs after passing Meng Yichen.

"Gao Jinnan!" Meng Yichen called out to the indifferent man, his brows furrowed into fine lines.

Following his will, Gao Jinnan stopped and turned to look at him impatiently. The man hesitated to speak again and again, which made him wonder if Meng Yichen was hiding something from him.

Meng Yichen didn't know that he would think so, it was an instinctive reaction to stop him, he just didn't want to see Gao Jinnan become like this, now Gao Jinnan is not only indifferent, he is more lifeless than before.

He didn't know how to persuade Gao Jinnan. As a friend, he couldn't just watch him sink down like this, but when the words came to his lips, Meng Yichen's lips seemed to be stuck, and when he opened his mouth, it became, "Forget it, you let's go."

Gao Jinnan raised his eyebrows. Meng Yichen's behavior these past few days was so strange that it was difficult for him not to doubt him. Instead of going upstairs and leaving as promised, he approached Meng Yichen and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

The sudden question made Meng Yichen a little confused, he blinked his eyes, a little unsure of Gao Jinnan's words, "What did you say?"

"You've been very..." Gao Jinnan just said four words, Qiao Zhi'en, who was entangled by the housekeeper, came over and interrupted him.

Qiao Zhi'en looked a little happy, and his tone of voice was much lighter than yesterday, "Brother Nan, what are you talking about?"

The two people who were interrupted looked at her together without saying a word, but their eyes were too depressed. Qiao Zhien's heart sank when he saw it, and he smiled reluctantly, "What's the matter, why are you looking at me like that? My face Is there something dirty?"

As if hiding his embarrassment, Qiao Zhi'en touched his face, his eyes wandered between the two of them, and he didn't dare to look directly.

Gao Jinnan shook his head coldly, he didn't even want to say a word, he couldn't hold it anymore, the wound was inflamed, it seemed to cause him to have a fever, and his head was dizzy.

Turning around and going upstairs, Gao Jinnan just wanted to go back to the room. The conversation with Meng Yichen had consumed too much of his attention, and he had no more time to deal with Qiao Zhien.

Lying down on the familiar bed, Gao Jinnan looked at the ceiling dimly, wanted to fall asleep but felt uncomfortable all over, so he could only hold on, waiting for Meng Yichen to come to treat him.

Meng Yichen came in within 2 minutes after he lay down. He looked at the man on the bed with a strange complexion, and his expression suddenly changed.

"Did you have a fever?" Meng Yichen said as he stepped forward and touched the man's forehead. As he imagined, the temperature of his hand was hot enough to know that he had a fever.

Gao Jinnan looked more haggard than yesterday, his eyes were cloudy, his complexion was not only pale but also sickly, and his mouth was chapped and chapped.

It's not just about feeling sorry for him anymore. Seeing him like this, Meng Yichen couldn't stand as a bystander. He wanted to tell Gao Jinnan how embarrassed he was.

After removing his clothes, Meng Yichen saw that the wound was more serious than when he left yesterday, the surrounding area was red and swollen, and there was a faint tendency to fester.

During the whole process, Gao Jinnan didn't say a word, it was very difficult to concentrate on watching him.

Meng Yichen's face darkened, and he didn't say much to him, thinking that it was more important to treat his wound first, so he showed 12 points of gentleness, just for fear of accidentally hurting Gao Jinnan.

But even though he was careful, it was inevitable that he would hurt him. Gao Jinnan frowned in pain, and he let out a heavy panting sound from his unclosed lips.

Meng Yichen didn't have extra time to care about Gao Jinnan, he focused on the wound, and after the quick treatment, he had time to look at the man who had been silent all this time.

After taking off his gloves, Meng Yichen took out a box of medicine from the box and put it on the bedside table, "Eat this later."

Gao Jinnan was still feeling the pain from his wound, he could only listen to Meng Yichen's words, and wanted to answer him, but he was powerless.

His cheeks were reddish with fever, and people with fever were extremely dry and dehydrated. He could only say one word repeatedly in his throat, "Water..."

Meng Yichen suddenly realized that he slapped his head and blamed himself for his carelessness. He was too busy caring for his wounds to ignore Gao Jinnan's soft voice.

There was a table in the room with a set of tea sets on it. Meng Yichen walked over to pick up the teapot. It was a little light, but after shaking it, there was no water.

Meng Yichen cursed inwardly, there was such a glitch at this time, he looked at the person lying on the bed comfortingly, "Wait a minute, I'll get you some water."

The confused man who was burning on the bed didn't answer, mumbled and didn't know what to say, Meng Yichen couldn't care so much, he could only solve the immediate problem first.

Holding the teapot out the door, Meng Yichen had just left before Qiao Zhi'en came in.

What she was holding in her hand was exactly what Gao Jinnan was thinking about, a glass of clear water, and it was Gao Jinnan who called out countless times at this time.

Qiao Zhi'en looked at him condescendingly, with no previous dependence and nostalgia in his eyes. Hurting each other until now has almost wiped out the goodwill between the two of them, and the rest is full of disgust.

Sitting next to Gao Jinnan, the murmuring voice in Gao Jinnan's throat could be heard more clearly. Qiao Zhien clenched the quilt tightly in her hand, her distorted hand was reflected on the transparent cup, and the water in the cup When it swayed, the calm water was like a turbulent sea.

"Water...Shu Shu..." Gao Jinnan shouted subconsciously, and it was precisely because of this subconscious behavior that Qiao Zhi'en was stimulated.

It turned out that what he wanted was not only what was in his hands, but also Duan Shunian who had never let go.

Qiao Zhi'en's heart sank to the bottom of the sea all of a sudden, she tried her best not to let herself lose control, thinking that yesterday's dream was an inspiration from her father to treat Gao Jinnan well.

All my thoughts disappeared when I heard this "Shu Shu", and even the goodness before was consumed.

Qiao Zhi'en became concerned, and her eyes became sharper. She helped Gao Jinnan up, and tried to soften her voice, "Brother Nan, get up and drink water."

In a daze, Gao Jinnan felt that someone was calling him. She was so gentle that he couldn't help but think of that familiar name, and then couldn't help shouting, "Shu Shu..."

The soft heart was stabbed without warning, Qiao Zhi'en's hands and feet were weak, and he almost missed Gao Jinnan who was in his arms.

She trembled, gritted her teeth to restrain the flood of grievances in her heart, and continued to maintain gentle movements to support Gao Jinnan's head.

With his own hand, Qiao Zhi'en picked up the cup on the side, carefully put the rim of the cup to Gao Jinnan's mouth, and slowly lifted the quilt.

Feeling the moisture around his lips, Gao Jinnan instinctively opened his mouth, gulping down the sweetness in the cup, and soon the glass of water ran out.

Gao Jinnan's chapped mouth has healed a lot, but the cracked lines can still be seen on it. Although Qiao Zhien has resentment towards him, he still feels distressed looking at him.

She put down the glass, got up and ran into Meng Yichen who had left the room to get water.

The two looked at each other, and Meng Yichen asked first, "Why are you here?"

Qiao Zhi'en looked away, ignored him, turned and went into the bathroom.

Looking at Qiao Zhi'en's back, Meng Yichen felt inexplicable. Both of them felt weird when they came back from the villa. Putting down the teapot, he shook his head, "Whatever, let Gao Jinnan drink water first."

He muttered softly, and the sound of splashing water in the bathroom overshadowed his voice. Meng Yichen picked up a cup full of water and walked to the bedside.

As soon as he sat down, he glanced at the cup that was exactly the same as in his hand. There was still water on the bottom of the cup. Meng Yichen immediately realized that Qiao Zhien was feeding Gao Jinnan water here!
Meng Yichen smiled, looked at the ignorant man on the bed, put down his cup, and pointed at him, "I really don't know whether I should envy you or sympathize with you..."

After speaking, he listened to the still sound of water, picked up his medicine box, shook his head and left here.

When Qiao Zhien came out of the bathroom, she was holding a basin with a folded towel on it. She looked around the room, but she didn't see Meng Yichen, nor did she see Meng Yichen's medicine box. This man must have left, she thought. With that, she walked to Gao Jinnan's bedside.

First, he wiped Gao Jinnan's face with a damp towel, the moisture on the towel was quickly evaporated by the temperature of his face, and when he finished wiping, it was still quite hot.

The temperature spread from Qiao Zhien's fingertips to her heart, making her whole heart burn.

Then, Qiao Zhi'en put down the towel and lifted the quilt covering Gao Jinnan's body.

Picking up the towel with her slender fingers, she passed the already wet towel in the water again. Looking at Gao Jinnan on the bed, her face turned slightly red.

With trembling pale fingers, Qiao Zhi'en unbuttoned Gao Jinnan's jacket, revealing the skin inside. His muscles were a little thinner due to disease, and the thin layer made him look less powerful than before.

Untie one by one.

"Brother Nan, I'll wipe your body." The voice was softer than when Gao Jinnan said he wanted to drink water, almost spinning in his throat.

Gao Jinnan grunted, but did not open his eyes.

Seeing Gao Jinnan like this, Qiao Zhien's cheeks became more and more red. She restrained her inner emotions, pretended to be calm, and wiped Gao Jinnan's skin bit by bit, but her trembling wrists revealed her mood. clean and dry.

After Gao Jinnan wiped his face with a blushing face, his body wasn't so hot anymore, and he didn't look like a person who walked hundreds of miles in the desert. He was so dry that his whole body exuded a dry breath.

Qiao Zhi'en covered him with a quilt carefully, tucked in the corners of the quilt, and wrapped Gao Jinnan tightly in the quilt.

She is not so generous, Gao Jinnan called Duan Shunian's name when she was in a coma, she would not tell anyone about this, but she must settle the account when Gao Jinnan wakes up.
