Mr. Gu hasn't rested for over twenty hours, yet his mind remains highly tense, unable to sleep.
He didn't eat much lunch either.
After lunch, Qiao Yuxian pulled him into the bedroom to sleep for a while.
She managed to fall asleep, but in her daze, she sensed that Gu Yanjing wasn't asleep.
He kept watching her, gently stroking her hair.
After over an hour, Aunt Qin called, saying Zhao Shimeng had arrived.
Qiao Yuxian heard Gu Yanjing answer the phone and sit up from the bed, looking at him.
Gu Yanjing hung up and touched her face, saying, "Sleep a little more; I'll go meet her."
Qiao Yuxian stared at the bloodshot eyes under his gaze, saying nothing.
Gu Yanjing waited for a while and, seeing her silent, touched her face again, "What's wrong?"
Qiao Yuxian's eyes shifted slightly; she shook her head and said, "It's nothing. I'm awake. I'll go meet her."
