Chapter 96: Apple Slices
“Are you awake?” Gu Jin looked at her and smiled.
The doctor said that Mu Mingcheng's body was in excellent condition and his injuries were far from fatal. There was no problem as long as he did not have a fever. Since there was blood missing, the man also needed to recover even more.
Mu Mingcheng was able to leave the hospital in about ten days, after which he was able to safely recover at home.
Gu Jin placed the peeled apple on top of the fruit bowl with another apple slice. The surface of the fruit has changed color since it was exposed to air.
Apples of different shades were neatly arranged on the plate, creating a sort of inexplicable excitement.
“Ya,” Mu Mingcheng replied in a hoarse voice. “Just a little thirsty.” His face was very pale while his lips were chapped.
“Wait a minute,” Gu Jin helped her sit down before turning around to pour a glass of water for her.
However, Mu Mingcheng did not raise his hand to accept the cup; he simply stared at the glass of water before staring at Gu Jin.
“I almost forgot about your wound,” Gu Jin looked conflicted as he stared back at her. “Do you want me to feed you?”
As soon as he spoke, he wished he could retract his words. Helping her drink could be an overly intimate act between them.
“Forget it, I'll call the nurse.”
“You fed me,” he said.
Upon hearing his request, Gu Jin had to sit on the edge of the bed before putting the glass on Mu Mingcheng's lips.
That guy must be really thirsty. Just as the cup stuck to his lips, Mu Mingcheng gulped several times voraciously. That, coupled with Gu Jin's lack of skill in placing the cup caused the water to spill.
“Pelan-pelan.” Gu Jin took out a piece of tissue and wiped away the moisture. He scolded her and said, “Don't choke.”
What if he coughed violently and tore his wound apart, wouldn't he bleed again?
Mu Mingcheng remained silent after his reprimand. It was rare for him not to argue. Instead, he patiently began to sip the water.
Seeing her obedient behavior, Gu Jin surprisingly thought she was a bit cute. It was as if she was raising a child into someone obedient and reasonable!
But could the two words 'obedience' and 'reasonable' really describe someone like Mu Mingcheng?
After drinking the water, Mu Mingcheng closed his eyes.
Gu Jin awkwardly grabbed the freshly cut apple and bit it as if nothing had happened.
Apples are juicy and sweet. 'Chomp, chomp.' He could not bear the bite anymore.
“I want to eat fruit,” Mu Mingcheng said as he opened his eyes.
Gu Jin bit again before replying, “Good.”
He took out a knife and cut the apple into small pieces, then found two toothpicks he had put into bite-sized slices. Gu Jin sat next to the patient.
The apple juice stained Mu Mingcheng's thin and pale lips, making him sparkle.
Gu Jin involuntarily licked his own lips.
In fact, among all kinds of handsome men, his favorite type was a weak and beautiful man.
Although Mu Mingcheng had to recuperate in the hospital bed, his weakness still could not hide his attractive appearance. Instead, it seemed to provoke the inner wolf, giving others the impulse to ruthlessly destroy it.
Feeling his heart beating fast, Gu Jin closed his eyes to hide his uncontrollable thoughts.
Mu Mingcheng, who was secretly observing him, had seen through everything. The corner of his lips lifted into a barely visible smile.
“Nona Gu, this is your breakfast.” Assistant Fang opened the door and said in surprise, “Young master, you finally woke up.”
Mu Mingcheng was completely untouched by the attention of his subordinates. His face darkened as he wondered: 'Are these assistants not supposed to be wise?'
Gu Jin finally stood up. He's been in a bad mood for a while now. Many times he wanted to call someone to come and feed him, but he could not do so when he thought of how Mu Mingcheng protected him.
At this moment, Assistant Fang's appearance undoubtedly saved him from trouble.
That was why Gu Jin laughed happily as he entered. Meanwhile, Assistant Fang was puzzled by her reaction. But he did not think about it anymore and obediently reported to Mu Mingcheng, “You may not know the young master, but Miss Gu did not close her eyes all night so that she could take care of you.”
After saying that, he looked at Gu Jin with an appreciative smile.
