Gu Ren touched Ye Zhi’s cheek and called out her name again, this time in a lower voice. With a tone as soft as a murmur, he whispered in her ear, “Ye Zhi...”
His tone was so gentle, as if he feared that he would burn the fragile rose in his hands.
The air remained silent and Ye Zhi still did not wake up.
Gu Ren felt his heart aching as if it had been torn apart.
Everyone stared at this scene that was playing out before them in a daze. They thought Gu Ren and Ye Zhi were friends, but based on what’s in front of them, it seemed like that wasn’t the extent of their relationship.
Gu Ren’s eyes never left Ye Zhi from beginning to end and everyone deeply felt his worry.
At this time, a staff member came to Gu Ren and asked cautiously, “We’re going to send Miss Ye to the hospital now...”
Gu Ren didn’t look at that person and his black eyes kept his sights on Ye Zhi. He shook his head gently as he spoke, his voice a little hoarse, “I’ll do it myself.”
The staff member left.
Gu Ren looked at Ye Zhi for a moment before he suddenly raised his hand. His hand that was covered in the prominent yet masculine veins covered the buttons of his suit.
Gu Ren’s heart ached.
Everyone’s exclamations and gasps continued to spread as they watched this scene in disbelief.
Gu Ren actually carried Ye Zhi!
By doing so, it was equivalent to Gu Ren directly confirming the scandal between him and Ye Zhi! They were not just friends, they seemed to be more like lovers.
Gu Ren was a cold-hearted person who never showed his emotions. But now, he was and had repeatedly been making exceptions for Ye Zhi.
Everyone else looked at Gu Ren, but his eyes only focused on her. He raised a hand to gently touch the back of Ye Zhi’s neck before he angled her head in his arms with extreme tenderness.
Then, Gu Ren moved the suit up slightly, completely layering it over Ye Zhi’s body.
When he touched Ye Zhi, Gu Ren lowered his eyes and paused for a few seconds with his fingers on her pale cheeks, tucking the loose strands of hair behind her ears.
Gu Ren gazed at Ye Zhi. She was so thin to the point where he could clearly feel her bones rested against his palms.
Gu Ren hugged Ye Zhi even more tightly the next moment. He lowered his head slightly and his chin silently rested on her forehead, drooping black eyes full of distress.
He displayed his unabashed intimacy and care towards her.
