"Your fever was triggered by pneumonia . Yesterday, you already had a slight fever in the day . But how did it get so serious in the night? Clearly, I gave an adequate amount of medicine . It wouldn't trigger such a huge reaction . "
Lin Che suddenly recalled some things that had happened last night . She raised her head, looked at Gu Jingze, and sneaked a glance at him . Immediately, her face began to turn red .
As for Gu Jingze, some things came up in his mind instantly as well . He instinctively glanced at Lin Che beside him .
Naturally, these small movements did not escape Chen Yucheng's gaze .
He raised his eyes to look at the two of them and broke into a smile . "I don't mean to blame you, President Gu . But if your body isn't feeling too well, then don't over-exert yourself . Certain things can be done at other times . "
"… "
Gu Jingze said, "What did you say?"
However, when his usually stern and completely stoic face was seen with Lin Che's face at the side, which was flushed completely red to the base of her neck, it also lost most of its persuasiveness .
Chen Yucheng glanced at Lin Che at the side and let out a dry cough . "Then, I'll leave him on the drip . There shouldn't be any complications . If there's any problem, I'm always here . "
Chen Yucheng packed up his toolbox . While he was walking out, he turned his head to say, "Oh, right . I still don't recommend any physical activity at the moment, especially vigorous physical activity that wastes your time and energy . "
Gu Jingze grabbed a book and threw it at him .
Before the book landed on the ground, Chen Yucheng hurriedly opened the door and ran out .
Lin Che's face was already unbearably red . She stood there fiddling with her clothes . The bottom of her clothes was about to fray completely from her actions but she still did not notice .

Gu Jingze remained silent as he raised his head to look at Lin Che .
Lin Che's face was red and her eyes were continuously darting around .
Only after a long time did Gu Jingze say, "You didn't get a good rest last night . Go to sleep first . "
Lin Che lifted her head . "No . I still feel alright . I'm not tired . "
"If I ask you to go, just go," Gu Jingze said .
Lin Che said, "There's no need . I should still stay here and look after you . After all, you're still sick . "
"I'm not so sick that I can't move . "
"But…"
"Lin Che!"
"You even fainted last night . I can't go . " When Lin Che got stubborn, she was very stubborn too . She would not listen to anyone at all .
"You… " Gu Jingze glanced at the marks on her body and instantly lowered his head . He still felt that some things should not be avoided and could not be avoided .
If certain things happened, they simply happened as a matter of fact .
"Uhm, last night… " Gu Jingze had never dealt with something like this either .

Last night probably happened because he was sick and his willpower was not as strong . That was why things had turned out this way now .
He was just about to say that he would not treat last night as if it had not happened .
However, he heard Lin Che say frantically from the side, "Oh, I understand . You didn't do it on purpose . I know . Your fever must have been so high that you were completely groggy, so you didn't know what happened and things turned out this way . I won't take it to heart . "
"… " The expression on Gu Jingze's face sank . His gaze rested on Lin Che's face .
Lin Che said, "We're all adults anyway . If things like this happen, they simply happen . We must think about it rationally . Thus, you don't have to worry; I don't really mind . Your illness is more important right now . Recover first and we'll talk about it again . "
Gu Jingze was staring at Lin Che's face forcefully . Immediately, it made her feel extremely perplexed .
"Why? Is there something on my face?"
"No . I'm just trying to figure out how exactly your brain is structured . "
Why was her way of thinking always so strange when she totally looked like a normal human being?
Lin Che touched her head . "What? Could it be that I didn't say it compassionately enough? Look at how thoughtful I am of you . You're not touched and you instead even dare to criticize me?"
Gu Jingze just looked at Lin Che . What exactly was this? Was she being understanding or did she simply not care?
Was she so unwilling to get involved in some complicated relationship with him?
"Alright, you don't have to say anything . I understand, Lin Che . "
Right now, Lin Che just wanted to escape . She really did not dare to look at his eyes and did not know the best way to deal with him .

"Oh, I'll go and get some water for you . " She walked out in a hurry . Gu Jingze sat on the bed and looked at the closed door . Immediately, his expression became slightly more solemn .
In no time, Lin Che returned .
She handed the water to him before saying, "Alright, drink more water . You sweat a lot because of your fever . "
Gu Jingze shot a glance at her . "I didn't sweat a lot because of my fever . I sweat even more from doing other things . "
"… " Instantly, Lin Che understood what he was talking about .
To be honest, last night he… did indeed sweat a fair amount .
"Gu Jingze, what nonsense are you spouting?!" Lin Che yelled .
Gu Jingze looked at her and held up the water . He drank a large mouthful before saying, "You said it yourself . We're already adults . Why? Do adults still have to beat around the bush when it comes to topics like these?"
"I… " Lin Che momentarily did not know how to retort . She looked at Gu Jingze and yelled, "I'm just afraid that it would hurt your pride! I wonder who faints immediately after! In the future, if your stamina isn't good enough, then just do as much as your strength permits!"
How dare she actually say that his stamina was not good enough?
Gu Jingze narrowed his deep eyes . "Fine, fine . I won't take you seriously since I'm not feeling well now . You'd best remember what you said today . When the time comes, I'll definitely put in my real efforts and let you know exactly whether or not my stamina is good enough . "
Lin Che's face turned red immediately . "Who wants you to put in your real efforts? Hmph . "
As he looked at Lin Che turn her body with a red face, Gu Jingze looked down at his own body .
Who said that he only constantly desired her because he could not obtain her?
Now that he already had a taste of her, why did his body still so easily become impulsive because of her?
In no time, Chen Yucheng came again to replace Gu Jingze's intravenous drip .
It was only after Gu Jingze saw Lin Che leave that he said to Chen Yucheng, "When will I completely recover?"
Chen Yucheng smiled and raised his eyebrows as he looked at Gu Jingze . "Why do you want to recover completely? I think that it's pretty good for President Gu to always be like this . You can even take the chance to enjoy Madam Gu's special "care" for a little longer . "
Gu Jingze face turned black immediately . "Chen Yucheng . So you didn't come on purpose yesterday?"
Chen Yucheng chuckled . "I just wanted to create an opportunity for the two of you . Your fever is actually nothing . Madam Gu totally did the right thing . She wiped your body, wiped it and wiped it, and very easily misfired while polishing your "gun"… "
"… " Gu Jingze said, "Chen Yucheng, I think that you've really had enough of this job . "
"Hey, hey . President Gu, you can't deny that I should take some credit for what happened yesterday . You can't burn the bridge after crossing it and chase me away after getting what you want . "
Gu Jingze said, "Tell me . Yesterday, she helped me wipe down my body?"
Gu Jingze still remembered what happened at the beginning but as for what happened later…
He had really fainted .
Chen Yucheng said, "Yes . Madam Gu is really too good to you . I reckon that she looked after you for the whole night . When I came, there were ice compresses and water at the side . She continuously had a towel in her hand to wipe you down . It definitely had an effect on making your fever subside . It wasn't a huge effect but the more important thing is that you definitely felt much more comfortable . Otherwise, having a fever actually feels terrible . "
Gu Jingze looked outside . In an instant, his gaze deepened much more and only some light flashed across his eyes faintly .
