When Duan Chengxuan rushed in, the child was already born.

As for Gu Liuyan, he leaned against the side of the bed without a breath of life. Because Yun Wan was unable to hug Gu Daiyan because he had taken the child, he could only cry on the side while Zi Ming had to deal with the two possibly garrulous midwives. Only two maidservants were crying as they leaned against Gu Liuyan's side, pouring her the extremely bitter and bitter medicine.

Duan Cheng Xuan swore that this was the first time he had experienced the feeling of death.

His entire body was ice-cold as he walked over to Gu Daiyan's side and fed her the bitter soup medicine in his mouth. However, when he gently rubbed his ice-cold and motionless hands, he did not hear a single reaction.

Duan Chengxuan didn't remember what had happened, he only remembered that when his hand was gently grasped, his heart that had been silent for a long time finally leaped back into his chest. The soft hair that was covered in a layer of thin sweat rubbed against the gaps of his fingers, and following that, a suffocating feeling assaulted his face.

The first sound Gu Liuyan heard that had nothing to do with death was Duan Chengxuan's sobbing.

Her hands didn't feel very familiar, but she could still make out how familiar they were.

There was a thin cocoon, but it was always warm.

"Only cowards cry …" A faint voice came out from her mouth. Gu Pingyan seemed to recall the terrifying patterns on his body and subconsciously withdrew his fingers, but the man clenched them tightly. The warm liquid soaked the back of her hand and even she started to tremble.

"I'm a coward." Who knew that men would shamelessly admit it?

Gu Liuyan's vision remained dark the entire time. In her chaotic mind, she only thought it was a pity that she could not see Duan Chengxuan's crying appearance, but she used her other arm to feel the bed. Following that was a tearing pain coming from her lower body, and the smell of blood entered her nose, causing her to subconsciously want to vomit.

The smell of death again.

Duan Chengxuan quickly moved forward to hug her, but he was sent flying by Gu Liuyan.

"Zhang Liangshan!" He also rushed to his daughter's side and took her pulse. On the other hand, he furiously spilled a bottle of medicine on the bed, and in a flurry, opened one of the bottles, and poured all of the medicine into her water.

Gu Danyan coughed lightly, then leaned weakly into Duan Chenxuan's embrace and slowly closed her eyes.

"Yan'Er!" "Yan'Er, she …" Duan Cheng Xuan held her shoulders and shouted.

"It's fine, as long as she wakes up." Yun Xiao interrupted Duan Chengxuan's panic as he raised his hand to pat his shoulder. "She'll be fine."

After pushing the person in his embrace back into the blanket, Duan Chengxuan solemnly nodded. "I will, Aunt …"

"You are already my son. Take good care of her." Yun Dian pressed down on his shoulder to make him sit down again, and secretly wiped the tears at the corner of his eyes, and gently said: "Accompany by her side."

Besides his words of thanks, Duan Cheng Xuan had nothing else.

The rainy day outside the window had gradually turned white. Hong Xiao casually asked Duan Chengxuan to change into a set of clean clothes, while Zi Ming brought a servant girl to change Gu Chuyan's clean clothes, and then memorized the traces of black that had spread out. It wasn't until the evening of the second day that most of the people in the room left.

He only helped Gu Mingyan tidy up the hair beside her ear over and over, occasionally touching the tip of her nose to confirm that she was still alive and well. Every time he heard the mumbles that came from Gu Danyan's dreams, he would carefully approach her.

Until the second night, when the weak arm landed on his leg.

Before he could say anything, Duan Chengxuan had already placed the small, empty bamboo tube next to her mouth, causing her to drink quite a bit of hot water. He then quietly woke up Hong Xiao from outside and went to the kitchen to get some food, then he heard the low sounds of sobbing from the person on the bed.

The pain continued to invade her and it was difficult for Gu Pingyan to discern what was going on. The emotions that had been suppressed and disguised these days all overflowed with the darkness in front of his eyes, transforming into tears that dampened Duan Chengxuan's clothes.

This was supposed to be within his expectations, but Duan Chengxuan had already climbed onto the bed. He pressed the bedding on one side of her, and at the same time, he pulled his into his embrace and gently said, "I'm here."

"You're not here." Gu Daiyan thought about this in a daze.

She had been blind, too, but the sound of her footsteps echoed through the great room.

"I'm here." He only thought that this might be the second chance the God of Heaven had given him to make up for it. The first time, he did not have too many companions, but this time, he would properly carry her in his arms and would also have the ability to personally settle her daily living.

Gu Danyan sobbed silently in his arms: "My child …"

"It's a boy. He's very healthy and not poisoned at all." Duan Cheng Xuan slowed down her speech and felt the person in her embrace quieten down slightly. Only then did she continue, "Do you want to touch him?"

"He's still weak." Gu Danyan replied in a hoarse voice, the tip of his nose nuzzling against Duan Chengxuan's chest, "I can't see anything …"

"I'll be your eyes."

"It hurts." Gu Mingyan shrank into his embrace.

Duan Chengxuan didn't dare let her make too big a move, and he only carefully fixed her trembling legs together and kissed the space between her hair. "He'll be fine soon, don't move recklessly."

"I don't want to die." His words made his body tremble again.

Duan Chengxuan's pupils constricted. He wasn't proficient in medicine, but he had another method. "I'll accompany you."

The person in his embrace cried for an unknown amount of time, but Duan Cheng Xuan's body was stiff as he stopped her from moving. When Gu Xuan Yan could no longer say anything and leaned weakly on his shoulder, the black veined patterns extended from under his clothes.

The sound of Hong Xiao delivering food broke the silence.

Duan Chengxuan held onto Gu Danyan and slowly fed her food, but Gu Danyan held onto Duan Ling Tian's elbow. "I don't want you."

"Just me." Duan Chengxuan was fawning on her with a free hand as he pinched her palm.

Gu Danyan's hands clawed wildly a few times, but in the end, he only managed to hang onto Duan Chengxuan's arm and allowed him to feed the warm meat porridge in mouthful after mouthful.

"Enough." Gu Daiyan tugged his arm: "It hurts."

"Alright." Duan Chengxuan's fingertips brushed past her ears, and only in the end did he hear the sound of an empty bowl dropping.

In the next moment, Gu Danyan felt her body lighten as she was carried back to the bed. Duan Chengxuan leaned on the bed and held her hand under the bed. "Go to sleep."

"You lied to me." Gu Liuyan woke up and still remembered the words Duan Chengrui had said to her.

Duan Chengxuan was simply about to be angered into laughter by her, but now when he saw Gu Liuyan's appearance, he was unable to laugh even if he wanted to. He could only say with a gentle voice, "I won't, go to sleep."

"Accompany me." Gu Daiyan hooked his arm.

"You can't move." Duan Cheng Xuan instructed in a low voice, yet she still carefully crawled into the bed and allowed Gu Xuan Yan to lean on his arm as she fell into a deep sleep.

Duan Chengxuan didn't sleep for the entire night, so he turned his body to the side and carved Gu Liuyan's face into his heart.

She gave birth to a child for him, but he acted like a bastard, concealing her as an opponent.

"I'm sorry." Duan Chengxuan kissed her hair, but he didn't notice the trembling eyelashes in the darkness.
