Chapter 677: At Worst, We’ll Break Up
Gu Mingye quickly went upstairs. However, when he saw the doorbell, he couldn’t bring himself to hit it.
After hesitating for a while, he seemed to have made up his mind. Just as he was about to ring the doorbell, the door suddenly flew open.
Mo Shengyun’s face appeared from behind the door, she looked pale and sickly.
When she saw Gu Mingye, she immediately choked and pounced on him.
Gu Mingye couldn’t react in time and instinctively tried to dodge.
However, before he could dodge, he felt the warmth of Mo Shengyun’s body.
He froze on the spot.
Mo Shengyun threw herself on him and burst into tears.
The man’s body stiffened. He could clearly feel the heat transmitted from her body.
“You’re here! Where the hell have you been?!” Mo Shengyun cried as she threw herself into his arms and pounded his back.
Gu Mingye felt as though he was being pounded to a pulp. The determination that he had built up in the last few days now started to waver.
He hugged her and reached out to touch her forehead.
The heat seemed to travel right through to his heart.
Gu Mingye looked down at her head. Mo Shengyun buried her face in his chest and cried, feeling extremely aggrieved.
“I’ll take you to get an injection.” Gu Mingye held her face. “I’m sorry Sheng’er, I...”
“What excuse are you thinking up again!” Mo Shengyun pushed him away angrily and choked. “I don’t believe in you anymore. I don’t believe in anything! Ah Ye, didn’t we agree that no matter what, you would be with me? It’s only been a while, and you’re going back on your word?”
The man felt a little bitter. He clenched his fists as he looked at Mo Shengyun.
She sniffed twice and yanked him into the house.
As she slammed the door shut, Mo Shengyun’s vision darkened and her legs went weak. She stumbled and almost fell.
Startled, Gu Mingye acted on reflex and caught her.
Mo Shengyun looked at Gu Mingye, as though in shock.
Immediately, she pushed him away angrily and resentfully.
Gu Mingye frowned and held her down sternly. “What are you trying to do!”
As he spoke, he sat her on the sofa. “Have you taken your medicine?”
Mo Shengyun wanted to cry.
In fact, her eyes had very quickly turned red.
She had a fever and was really sick.
The weather had been exceptionally cold these few days, and Mo Shengyun was not in the mood to keep herself warm.
Coupled with the night shifts, it was more than what her body could take.
Of course, partly, she had done this deliberately.
Seeing how concerned Gu Mingye was, she suddenly felt that it was worth it.
Everything was worth it.
Suppressing the urge to cry, Mo Shengyun lowered her head and said sullenly, “I didn’t take any.”
Gu Mingye gritted his teeth and rummaged through the first aid kit under the coffee table.
Mo Shengyun was a doctor, but the first aid box at home was not equipped with much.
Gu Mingye had bought the first aid kit because he was afraid that she would need it in case of an accident.
There were fever medicine, flu medicine, and fever patches.
Although it wasn’t much, it was still there.
When he opened the box, Gu Mingye realized that it was pretty much untouched since he sorted it out last time.
He took out the thermometer and gave it a few flings. “Raise your hand.”
Mo Shengyun said reluctantly, “It’s too cold.”
“It won’t be after a while.” Gu Mingye held her hand. “I’ll buy a ear thermometer later. We’ll make do with this today.”
Mo Shengyun shrank back and said, “No, it’s so cold. Warm it up for me first.”
“The accuracy will be off if I warm it.” Gu Mingye grabbed her hand. “Be good. I’ll cook you porridge later.”
“I’m not hungry.”
“You have to eat even if you’re not hungry.” Gu Mingye softened his tone. “Be good.”
Mo Shengyun sniffed and looked up at Gu Mingye’s familiar face. “I want to eat meat.”
“Okay.” Gu Mingye tried to grab her hand. “I’ll cook for you later. Come, let’s have your temperature taken.”
Mo Shengyun laid on the sofa and mumbled, “I’m feeling weak. Help me.”
Gu Mingye heaved a sigh of relief. She had finally agreed!
However, it was only when he tried to do it that he felt a little awkward.
Mo Shengyun was wearing a gray coral flannel pajamas. It was thick, and the collar was a little narrow.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t get in, but if he helped her, he would have to push aside her top.
Under the collar...
Gu Mingye hesitated.
Mo Shengyun urged. “Hurry up.”
When she said this, Mo Shengyun narrowed her eyes, looking drowsy.
Gu Mingye appeared determined as he reached out and gently pulled her collar open.
Then, he reached in with the thermometer.
He turned his head slightly to the side and tried not to look at her.
“Ah!” Mo Shengyun suddenly yelled. “You poked me!”
Startled, Gu Mingye immediately withdrew the thermometer.
Mo Shengyun’s eyes grew watery as she said, “Why are you so clumsy? You can’t do something this simple! How could you position it without looking?”
Gu Mingye paused for a few seconds and sighed. “Sheng’er, I’m a man.”
“Stop being so wishy-washy.” Mo Shengyun turned away. “You should leave then. Since you hate me so much, why don’t you just let me die here alone? Just let me be. It will be much easier.”
“You know I don’t mean that.”
“Don’t you want to look at me, then?” Mo Shengyun shouted, her voice choking. “How do you think I feel when you do this?”
The man had always known that she was difficult to deal with, but he couldn’t stop himself from visiting her.
And now, what a great situation he had gotten himself in. He could neither advance nor retreat.
Mo Shengyun turned around to face the back of the sofa and sobbed.
She was breathing rather heavily, and it wasn’t hard to tell that she was crying.
“Sheng’er, take some medicine first. I’ll get you some water.”
“No need for that.” Mo Shengyun’s voice was nasal. “Just leave.”
Gu Mingye paused, his heart aching.
“Haven’t you hidden from me for so long because you wanted to break up with me?” Mo Shengyun’s back was facing him and her eyes were fixed ahead.
The texture on the fabric sofa was magnified and clear.
“Let’s break up then. If you don’t want to be together anymore, you may go.” Mo Shengyun’s voice became more choked and she finally couldn’t hold back her tears. “Since you’re so reluctant... why did you come here? I don’t need you to pity me!”
Although she said that, Mo Shengyun’s tears fell even harder.
Her voice was nasal as she cried pitifully.
There was a throbbing ache in her heart. She curled up and felt even more dizzy. She mumbled to herself, “At most... we’ll just break up. What’s the big deal...”
