When Yu Jinxi was conscious, he felt a splitting headache. He reluctantly opened his eyes, and the first thing that broke into his sight was Yanhuai's face.
She thought she had seen it wrong and closed her eyes again.
"woke up?"
The familiar voice startled Yu Jinxi, and he stood up subconsciously, but before he could sit upright, he felt dizzy and fell backwards.
She originally thought she was going to be thrown hard, but she didn't. Her head was held by someone, and then she leaned into a soft embrace.
Yu Jinxi opened his eyes and saw Yanhuai's handsome face again, his voice stuttered, "You...why are you here? Where am I?"
"You're in the Gu family!"
Yanhuai said in a deep voice, "I knew you were injured, so I came here."
He stared at her closely, his eyes were scarlet, and he didn't know how long he had been there.
Yu Jinxi's cheeks felt hot when he saw him, and she subconsciously looked away, "How long have I been asleep?"
Yanhuai said in a serious tone, "One day and one night!"
Yu Jinxi leaned against him and could even hear his pounding heartbeat. She wanted to move her position, but Yanhuai held her tightly.
"Don't move, you're knocking your head. The doctor told you to take good care of yourself."
Yanhuai's tone was tense and his arms tightened.
Yu Jinxi couldn't break free and gave up, then asked, "You've been guarding me?"
Yanhuai said "Yes", and then said in a ferocious tone, "Do you know how dangerous this time is? Why don't you delay the time and let the servants come find me?
"What are you looking for? The identity of the person coming from the palace is unknown, so what will happen if you come? Are you afraid that you are dragged into it now? Are you afraid that the stigma on you is not enough?"
The tone was so serious that it made Yu Jinxi's head hurt, so he softened his voice, "Gu Qiheng is seriously ill now. Once someone gets hold of the detailed handle, your and my spine will be broken."
"Then there's no need for you to be like this."
Yanhuai looked at her and said, "What's wrong with being scolded? Is reputation as important as your life?"
Their eyes met, and Yu Jinxi was shocked by the deep affection in his eyes.
Those beautiful eyes no longer had the wanton publicity they once had, and the dark eyes were still covered with a faint shadow, with guilt and self-blame intertwined.
Yu Jinxi took a deep breath and suppressed the ripples in her heart, "Now... is not the time yet. Even if you and I are not afraid, we are not the only ones around us."
There are hundreds of members of the Yu family, not to mention the tens of thousands of people who work for the Yu family.
This is especially true for Yanjia.
When Yanhuai heard her say 'we', his heart, which had been cut with a knife, was sewn back together again, feeling warm and with a hint of sweetness.
He was afraid that Yu Jinxi would be worried, so he said, "Don't worry, I came here secretly. No one followed me. No one knows except Qingti and the two nuns."
Yu Jinxi said "Yeah", her head hurt, so she had to close her eyes and rest.
At this time, Yanhuai put his hand on her temples and gently rubbed it for her.
"It's not that it hurts here..."
He pressed it very comfortably, but Yu Jinxi was a little dissatisfied. He raised his hand to touch the painful area, but before he touched his head, Yanhuai grabbed his hand.
"The doctor told me not to press the painful area."
Yu Jinxi said "Oh" out of breath and wanted to take his hand back, but was held by Yanhuai.
Her slender fingers were spread open, and his big hand with clear joints appeared between the five fingers.
She was very uncomfortable with the two of them suddenly being so close, but when she saw his hands, she couldn't help but say, "Your hands are whiter and tenderer than women's hands. I feel a little jealous when I see them."
Hearing this, Yanhuai raised his hand and approached her, "You want it? Here it is!"
If he leaned closer to her lips, Yu Jinxi immediately pressed his hand down, "Don't move, my head hurts."
Yanhuai said "oh".
At this time, the door opened and Qingti came in with medicine.
Yu Jinxi wanted to sit up straight and distance herself from Yanhuai, but Yanhuai wouldn't let her move at all.
Qingti came over with a calm look on her face and said, "Miss, it's time to take medicine."
The sound was hard and without any warmth.
Yu Jinxi opened his eyes and looked at her, surprised, "Are you talking to me?"
Qingti looked at her, "What else? Can there be a second young lady in this house?"
Yu Jinxi looked aggrieved and said, "Qingti, your lady is hurt, shouldn't your tone be gentler? You were not like this before!"
"How did you get injured? Don't you know?
Qingti said with a cold face, "If you fight harder, I will serve you in the Palace of Hell. Next time something like this happens, please tell me in advance and I will take the first step to save you from having no one to serve you." "
"It's not that serious!" Yu Jinxi said with a puzzled look, "I agreed with Chunya that the injury would be serious and he wouldn't die."
Hearing this, Qingti became even more angry, "Don't mention Chun Ya, she is only half a bucket of water, and she will be punished by her master to squat on horseback."
Yu Jinxi groaned and sat up anxiously, "Why punish her? I asked her to do this, it has nothing to do with her."
Qingti said, "Master Yan said that Chunya made her own decisions just because she knew how to do it. She has no self-awareness about herself. Such arrogance will lead to big trouble sooner or later, so she must be punished."
Yu Jinxi wanted to plead for Chunya, but Yanhuai interrupted her, "That girl is still young and needs to be trained. It's you who are hurt now, but she will be the one who loses her life in the future."
After saying that, Yu Jinxi didn't allow Yu Jinxi to argue and said to Qingti, "Bring the medicine!"
Qingti immediately offered it obediently.
Yu Jinxi's face turned bitter as soon as he smelled the medicine, "Is there any sugar?"
Qingti shook her head.
Yu Jinxi didn't want to drink it, but when she saw that Yanhuai wanted to feed her personally, she immediately took the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
"No sugar, just some snacks."
Qingti brought a plate of pastries in front of her. It was delicate and small. Yu Jinxi immediately took two pieces and ate them, one in each bite, to suppress the smell of medicine.
Yu Jinxi finished eating, but Qingti hadn't left yet.
Yanhuai glanced at her with cold eyes.
Qingti's heart thumped, but she still said bravely, "Miss Yin and Qian Qian are waiting outside, wanting to see the young lady."
Before Yu Jinxi could speak, Yanhuai said coldly, "Your master needs to have a good rest and let them come back in a few days."
Qingti responded, lowered her head and was about to leave, but then she remembered something, "Miss, Gu Qiheng woke up. I heard that he was beaten and scolded in the room, and he couldn't accept the fact that he was disabled."
Upon hearing Gu Qiheng, Yu Jinxi's face turned cold, "Let him go, let Master Yan not forget what he said before."
Qingti said yes, indicating that she understood.
After Qingti left, only Yu Jinxi and Yanhuai were left in the room.
Yu Jinxi asked Yanhuai to put him down. It was not comfortable for her to lean against him like this.
Yanhuai helped her put a quilt and a soft pillow on her bed, and then sat on the edge of the bed with no intention of leaving.
Seeing that he kept staring at her, Yu Jinxi felt a little depressed, "You...you have nothing to do?"
Yanhuai said, "Looking at you now is the biggest thing."
"I'm already fine, what's there to see?"
When Yu Jinxi met Yanhuai's eyes, his voice naturally weakened.
Yanhuai looked at her and said, "You were invited to the palace, but something happened on the way there. The person who invited you to the palace will naturally send someone to come. I have to keep an eye on it to prevent anything from happening again."
