Chapter 150

“If you aren’t afraid...”

Every word Gu Ren uttered was filled with charisma, “...then what’s happening to your heart... why is it beating so fast?”

Startled, she averted her eyes downwards. She was feeling too tense just now. Even though Gu Ren was holding her wrist, she did not withdraw her hand.

At some point, he had casually moved his hand along her wrist, stopping right where her pulse could be measured.

Not an inch too far, nor an inch too close; he had positioned his fingers on her pulse without the slightest error.

His fingers still bore a tinge of coldness. At the touch of his fingertips, he could clearly discern that her heart was beating furiously.

Stiffened, Ye Zhi wanted to withdraw her hand, but Gu Ren obscurely applied more force. What he wanted was simple — Ye Zhi just had to give him the answer.Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com

Hearing the sound of the door opening, he turned to look. When he saw her, his grim eyebrows softened.

Ye Zhi immediately stepped forward and approached Gu Ren. She stretched out a hand and placed it on his forehead, comparing her temperature with that of Gu Ren’s.

Ye Zhi’s sudden movements stunned Gu Ren. However, he did not protest and just sat still in the chair.

After a while, she frowned slightly as she spoke, “Looks like you still have a fever.”

“First, you should lie back down in bed. I’ll bring you some porridge to eat. You should take the medicine afterwards.”

Seeing that he was being treated by Ye Zhi as a severely ill patient, Gu Ren smiled helplessly, “Ye Zhi, it’s just a fever.”

However, Ye Zhi had a different opinion to Gu Ren. This time, regardless of what he said, she insisted on following her own assessment.

“No, you are still a sick patient.”

Bringing her own breakfast along with his, she sat beside Gu Ren and they ate together.

Gu Ren looked at Ye Zhi, then suddenly spoke, “Ye Zhi, tomorrow, Aunt Qin will take you to the Gu Family’s club, to help you get acquainted.”

Without much thought, Ye Zhi gave him a simple nod.
