Chapter 73

After leaving, Gu Xiuyi specifically went back to take a shower, changed into clean clothes, and tidied himself up before going to see Ji Ruan.

Fortunately, Ji Ruan was fine.

Well, Li Sui’an’s original words were: with such a thick carpet, it would be strange if anything happened.

When Gu Xiuyi pushed the door open, Ji Ruan wasn’t asleep; the oxygen mask had been removed and replaced with a more comfortable nasal cannula. He was blinking his big eyes and playing with his fingers. When he saw Gu Xiuyi, he smiled sweetly.

Gu Xiuyi’s heart melted in an instant.

He sat by the bed, gently brushed Ji Ruan’s cheek with the back of his hand, and softly lifted him up: “Does your ear still hurt?”

Ji Ruan shook his head.

Gu Xiuyi supported Ji Ruan’s wrist; there was tape on the back of his fair hand, still seeping a little blood.

He kissed the pale fingertips: “What about your hand, does it hurt?”

Ji Ruan still shook his head, but his eyes were crinkling with a smile.

He opened his mouth wanting to speak, but then stopped. Gu Xiuyi knew he didn’t want to talk when he couldn’t hear well, so he took the external device out of his pocket and gently put it on him.

Ji Ruan: “……”

He finally understood why he couldn’t find this thing no matter what; it turned out Gu Xiuyi had just taken it with him.

Gu Xiuyi didn’t notice Ji Ruan’s speechlessness and was a bit nervous: “How is it? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”

He wasn’t uncomfortable at all; after the fever broke, his head hadn’t hurt again.

Ji Ruan blinked and revealed an incredibly cute smile, wanting to ease Gu Xiuyi’s mind: “I’m fine, it doesn’t hurt at all; it’s just a bit numb.”

However, Gu Xiuyi’s expression grew more complex. Ji Ruan didn’t realize feeling numb was also a sign of his cochlear implant being mispositioned.

“By the way.”

“By the way.”

They spoke in unison.

Ji Ruan laughed.

“You go first.”

“You go first.”

Again, they both spoke together.

Gu Xiuyi lowered his head and pecked Ji Ruan’s cheek: “You go first, darling.”

Ji Ruan felt a little ticklish from the kiss, scratching his cheek and smiling, his eyes sparkling with reflections of Gu Xiuyi: “Is there a letter with you?”

Gu Xiuyi was momentarily stunned: “… Huh?”

“The letter from Bai Yue,” Ji Ruan sat up seriously: “He said he came to see me today just to deliver a letter to me.”

Gu Xiuyi: “……”

Gu Xiuyi fell silent.

Why was he completely unaware that this was happening?

His expression grew serious and solemn; he thought he was well-informed about the situation, but he hadn’t expected such a significant oversight.

He carefully searched every corner of his memory and still couldn’t recall any mention of a letter.

The corners of Gu Xiuyi’s eyebrows raised, revealing rare confusion: “… What letter?”
