    Chapter 50: Help with taking a bath. How about—let me help you?

    Xu Qing nodded, “Okay, they should be hungry too.”

    The two left together.

    After an unknown amount of time, Gu Man’s fingertips moved slightly and gently touched the back of Wen Mian’s hand.

    Wen Mian was stunned for a moment, and her heart skipped a beat. Then she raised her head and stared into Gu Man’s eyes.

    Seeing that she was still unconscious, Wen Mian’s voice suddenly became choked and hoarse, and he even thought he was having a dream and she hadn’t woken up yet.

    “Gu Man…” She murmured softly.

    “Yes, I’m here.” Gu Man’s smiling voice reached her ears, seeming to coax her.

    Wen Mian saw her slowly opening her eyes. There was a gentle light in her eyes, and she looked directly at her.

    Her eyes couldn’t help but turn red. Wen Mian tightened his grip on her hand, and there was even disbelief in her voice: “You…you finally woke up. Aren’t I dreaming?”

    Gu Man’s other needle-pierced hand slowly raised, came close to Wen Mian’s face, touched it lightly, and replied in a Wen voice: “No, it’s really me. How about you touch it yourself?”

    The last part of her voice was drawn out, teasing Wen Mian.

    Wen Mian burst into tears and laughed, and said urgently: “Okay, it’s you. Put your hand down first and stop recovering blood.”

    The corners of Gu Man’s eyes raised, and he put down his hands obediently, but his eyes still fell on her, and he said with a smile: “Little crybaby.”

    Wen Mian touched her cheeks that were still wet, raised her chin, and hummed: “I’m not a little crybaby. If you call me like that again, believe it or not, I won’t talk to you anymore.”

    Gu Man looked at her and smiled, feeling relieved in his heart. She smiled softly, then whispered, “Okay, what about little Princess Wenwen?”

    Wen Mian said that he didn’t want to pay attention to you, but he still responded to her: “Yeah.”

    While the two were talking, the doctor also came to the ward, examined Gu Man again, and nodded slowly, “Okay, you can just keep your heart in your stomach.”

    After hearing this, Wen Mian’s heart finally dropped.

    .

    After the doctor left, Wang Fei and Xu Qing came in and put the rice porridge and side dishes they were carrying on the side table.

    “You’re tired, eat something.” Xu Qing said.

    Wen Mian nodded, and quickly and carefully helped Gu Man sit up. Then he took a bowl of rice porridge, took a scoop, lowered his head and blew on it, “I’ll feed you.”

    Her voice allowed no refutation, and she stared at Gu Man firmly.

    Gu Man smiled softly, “Okay, listen to Wen Wen.” As she said that, she slowly lowered her head and drank the rice porridge.

    Wang Fei and Xu Qing looked at each other, then looked up at the ceiling, showing that they couldn’t see.

    After feeding halfway, Gu Man shook his head and said in a warm voice: “I’m full, Wen Wen, you go ahead and eat.”

    Wen Mian looked at her up and down and saw that she was not lying, then he lowered his head and drank his rice porridge.

    After eating, Xu Qing and Wang Fei had work to do and had to leave first. Before leaving, they said, “We have things to leave first. Remember to hold a live broadcast tonight to appease the fans.”

    Wen Mian hummed, tucked Gu Man’s quilt, and replied, “Okay, I understand.”

    After the two left, Wen Mian looked around at Gu Man, then took out his phone and sent a notification.

    [Mianmian loves sleeping: Hello, little Mianmian and Manmanguang. Mianmian and Manman know that everyone is worried about us, so they came here to tell you that we are all fine, don’t worry.

    Also, in order to reassure everyone, we will start a live broadcast on this account at 6 o’clock, and we look forward to meeting you all.】

    Fans were shocked. For the first time, Manguang and Xiaomian were so united, waiting for the live broadcast together.

    After a while, Director Cheng and others also came to visit Gu Man and put away the fruits and flowers in their hands.

    “Don’t worry about the crew. I can shoot other people’s scenes first. You just need to recover well.” Director Cheng comforted her, fearing that she would be stressed.

    Gu Man’s eyebrows softened and he responded: “Thank you, Director Cheng. I will take good care of myself.”

    Director Cheng nodded with relief. She looked around and saw that there was nothing she needed. Then she shouted to the others to leave: “Okay, let’s go first. You have a good rest.”

    Director Cheng and the others pushed the door open and left. Gu Man turned his head to look at Wen Mian and said in a Wen voice: “Wen Wen, can you help me raise the bed?”

    Wen Mian nodded immediately and moved quickly to the bottom of the bed. “Okay.” As she said this, she shook the head of the bed to raise it.

    About halfway through, Wen Mian stopped what she was doing, returned to the bed and sat down. She looked up at the potion and saw that there was still half a bottle inside, and she was relieved.

    Gu Man gently raised the corners of his lips and whispered, “It’s time for them to come too.”

    Wen Mian was stunned at first, who is it?React quickly again, police?

    When Cao Cao arrived, there was a knock on the door of the ward, “Hello, could you please open the door?”

    Wen Mian and Gu Man looked at each other and then opened the door. At the door were two female police officers in police uniforms.

    Seeing Wen Mian, one person showed a gentle smile, as if to reassure her not to be afraid: “Hello, Miss Wen, we are here to ask about the details of this incident as a routine.”

    Wen Mian nodded and extended his hand to signal them to come in, “Understood.”

    The two policewomen walked into the door together, and Wen Mian took half a step behind and gently closed the door.

    “Do you two know that man?” the gentle smiling policewoman asked.

    Gu Man and Wen Mian shook their heads.

    Wen Mian first replied: “I don’t know him, but from what he said, he must be a fan of Manman and can’t bear to see me and Manman together.”

    Gu Man frowned slightly, glanced at Wen Mian out of the corner of his eye, and stopped talking.

    The policewoman quickly noticed and glanced at Wen Mian. She winked at her companion and then stood up on her own initiative, “Mianmian, it suddenly occurred to me that I have something to ask you. Can you go out with me?”

    Wen Mian glanced at Gu Man again with worried eyes and nodded: “Of course.”

    She left with the policewoman, stopped in the corridor, then looked back at the policewoman and asked in a low voice: “Do you still want to ask?”

    The policewoman was slightly frightened and stared at Wen Mian, “You know?”

    Wen Mian nodded matter-of-factly, “I know, Gu Man doesn’t want to say it in front of me, so you take me out and let your companions ask.”

    “Then… why did you come out with me?” Although she knew in her heart that as a policewoman she shouldn’t ask this, she was still a little curious.

    “It’s nothing. Everyone has secrets. It’s normal for her to have things she doesn’t want to say. And I believe she will tell me one day.” Wen Mian raised her eyebrows, her tone full of trust.

    The policewoman couldn’t help being amused. She nodded her head up and down and sighed: “You guys have such a good relationship.”

    A smile appeared in Wen Mian’s eyes, and there was tenderness in his voice.

    In the ward, Gu Man looked at the policewoman opposite with a cold face.

    “That person was ordered by someone else.” Gu Man said coldly.

    “Yes, so you know who ordered it?” The policewoman held the pen and lowered her head to record notes.

    “It should be…” Gu Man’s face was cold, as cold as frost.

    “Okay, I understand.” The policewoman nodded, then opened the door and left with her companions.

    .

    As soon as the two policewomen left, the ward door was knocked again.

    Wen Mian was helpless, who was it?She was tired.

    As soon as she opened the door, Wen Mian’s arm was pulled tightly. Before she could see who was pulling her, her body was spun around.

    “Mianmian, are you okay?” Wen Rong’s panicked voice sounded in her ears, followed closely by Pei Shuran and Pei Ting’s questions.

    “Are you scared?” This is what Pei heard.

    “What did the doctor say?” This is what Pei Shuran said.

    Wen Mian felt helpless and weak. She followed Wen Rong’s strength and turned back to face the three of them. Then she smiled and responded: “Don’t worry, I’m fine!”

    “Huh, that’s good, that’s good!” Wen Rong patted her chest, and her heart that had been lifted along the way finally fell back to its original position.

    “I heard that Gu Man protected you?” Pei Shuran suddenly said.

    “Yes.” Wen Mian nodded and turned sideways to reveal Gu Man sitting on the hospital bed.

    “Hello.” He didn’t expect to see Wen Mian’s parents in this place. Gu Man’s body stiffened and he said hello dully.

    Pei Ting and Wen Rong looked at each other, their eyes gradually softening, and the three of them bent down together, their voices full of gratitude: “Thank you for…protecting Mianmian again.”

    Gu Man shook his head slightly and responded to them, “This is what I should do.”

    After thanking her, Wen Rong placed the gift in her hand in the ward, and then pulled Wen Mian out.

    The four of them talked together for a while, with Wen Rong talking and Wen Mian listening, and then they reluctantly left.

    So many things happened in one afternoon, both Wen Mian and Gu Man felt exhausted.

    “Tired?” Gu Man turned his head and stared at Wen Mian with soft eyes.

    “Well, a little bit~” Wen Mian looked at her aggrievedly and pursed her lips coquettishly, like a cat with a wrinkled face.

    “You rest first. I’ll wake you up later.” Gu Man whispered.

    “Don’t—” Wen Mian shook his head, unwilling, “I want to watch you.”

    Hearing Wen Mian’s words, Gu Man couldn’t help but raise the corners of her mouth. She stretched out her hand and gently rubbed Wen Mian’s hair: “Wen Wen is so kind to me, but Wen Wen, do you know? If you keep staring at me like this, I won’t be able to bear it anymore.”

    Wen Mian was stunned for a moment and was so surprised that he couldn’t speak. “What can’t you bear?”

    “That’s it.” Gu Man raised his finger and touched her lips.

    Her original intention was to put Wen Mian to sleep, but when her fingertips touched her warm and moist lips, she felt a burning sensation from the point of contact all the way to the tip of her heart, making Gu Man feel a burning sensation in the corners of his eyes.

    Wen Mian moved her lips and opened them slightly. Her heart skipped a beat. She nodded blankly, her eyes dull.

    “You should rest.” Gu Man also felt very uncomfortable. He stiffly retracted his fingers and put them behind his back, but the burning sensation could not be dissipated.

    “Okay… okay.” Wen Mian stood up stiffly, then lay down on another hospital bed, staring sideways at the whitewashed wall, a sliver of red glow falling on her cheeks and neck.

    She was so embarrassed that she closed her eyes tightly and tried to pretend that she was asleep.

    Gu Man couldn’t help but have a faint smile on her face. She turned her head and stared at Wen Mian’s back quietly.

    At some point, Wen Mian actually fell asleep while smelling the faint rosewood pheromones around him.

    .

    At 5:40, Gu Man called her softly: “Wenwen, you can get up now.”

    “Um…wait, wait for me for five minutes.” Wen Mian waved his hand, turned around, and continued to sleep.

    Gu Man looked at her peaceful sleeping face with soft eyes, a little unbearable, but considering his work, he continued to shout: “Wen Wen…”

    Wen Mian covered her ears and pursed her lips, “Well…”

    A chuckle escaped from Gu Man’s throat, and he coaxed her gently: “I know Wen Wen is sleepy, but we have to work.”

    Hearing the word work, Wen Mian slowly opened her eyes. She straightened up, rubbed her hazy eyes, and yawned sleepily, “Get up.”

    In my heart, I feel despair about the sequelae of waking up when I hear “work”. I am obviously not a good person in this life, but I still can’t escape work!

    Putting on the disposable slippers in the ward, Wen Mian pointed to the bathroom and smiled softly at Gu Man, “I’m going to wash up first.”

    Gu Man nodded and whispered, “Okay.”

    After washing up, it was almost time for the live broadcast.

    Wen Mian picked up the phone, glanced at Gu Man one last time and asked, “Did I open it?”

    Gu Man hummed, “Open it.”

    When the live broadcast started, fans from all over the country immediately poured in. Fortunately, the live broadcast platform had a premonition and updated the software during the day, otherwise it would have crashed by now.

    [Woo, it’s Mianmian and Manman. I finally saw you. I’m worried to death.】

    [Plus one plus one, I was really scared to death when I saw the news.】

    [Yes, the bastard meal is really scary. Fortunately, Manman is fine.】

    Seeing the barrage that kept passing by, Wen Mian felt soft in her heart, and her eyes were a little sour, as if tears were about to come out.

    Afraid that the fans would worry, Wen Mian suppressed it and waved with a smile, “Hello fellow fans, thank you for your concern. We are fine now.”

    Gu Man nodded and said softly, “Hello everyone, thank you for your concern.”

    Fans were first relieved and then moved by the two’s words.

    [Woo, I want to cry when I see Manman’s pale face.】

    [Me too, we are two little bitches.】

    [No, is it just what I said to the two of them that made you laugh?】

    [Sisters, you understand me. Mianmian said a series of words, and Manman summed it up in just a few words. I laughed to death.】

    Wen Mian looked at these messages and burst into laughter, his eyes curled up in laughter, “You all are really good at talking. Okay, do you have anything you want to ask? Let’s chat together?”

    Fans asked questions one after another.

    Wen Mian watched carefully and replied to their questions: “Don’t worry, everyone, he will definitely get the punishment he deserves.”

    “Filming? It will take a few days, but the director is very nice and said to shoot other people first.”

    “As for variety shows – not yet, I will tell you the news later.”

    The chatting time passed quickly, an hour passed quietly, and Wen Mian’s voice was a little hoarse from talking.

    Gu Man frowned slightly and took over the topic: “Finally, I want to thank everyone for your concern. We have something to do later. The live broadcast will be closed. See you next time.”

    Wen Mian glanced at her, with a smile on his lips, and she nodded: “Then… bye everyone, see you next time!”

    Gu Man approached her and reached out to turn off the live broadcast. When her phone screen turned off, she turned to look at Wen Mian and asked in a low voice, “Are you hungry?”

    “I’m hungry!” Wen Mian couldn’t help but rub his stomach and replied loudly.

    Gu Man smiled and raised his hand to touch her hair, “I have already told Wang Fei that she will be here in a moment.”

    Wen Mian nodded obediently and sat next to her, fiddling with the corner of the quilt. Her fingers gradually moved up and gently landed on the back of Gu Man’s slender hand hanging on the bed sheet.

    Gu Man’s heart skipped a beat, and he turned to look at the two people’s intertwined hands in disbelief, and said in a solemn tone, “Wen Wen, you?”

    Wen Mian didn’t look up at her, he just put his hand quietly on hers and looked down at the phone.

    The corners of Gu Man’s lips curled up into a smile, and the small moles under her eyes shone brightly. She rolled her throat several times before suppressing all the thoughts in her heart.

    The green leaves on the trees outside the window are green and tender, glowing with luster in the summer sunlight.

    Suddenly, a breeze blew by, and the branches and leaves swayed on the branches, as if it had touched someone’s heart.

    “Dong -” the knock on the door broke the silence in the ward. Wen Mian was startled and quickly retracted her hand.

    His eyes looked left and right, sometimes falling on the tiles, sometimes on the walls, but he didn’t dare to look at Gu Man.

    She scratched the back of her head in panic and said awkwardly: “I’ll open the door.”

    She didn’t need to go, the door had been pushed open, and Wang Fei came in with a lunch box. Sensing the awkward atmosphere in the ward, she looked at the two of them with confusion and confusion.

    “Let’s eat.” She didn’t understand and didn’t dare to ask. Wang Fei decided to do her own thing.

    “Oh, okay.” Wen Mian came to Wang Fei and helped open the small dining table.

    Wang Fei opened the lunch box and took out the food.

    The egg custard is soft and tender and melts in your mouth; the tomato fish and yam noodles are rich in tomato flavor, sweet and sour and appetizing; the steamed beef with loofah is chewy, light and refreshing.

    Although they are relatively light, they still smell the same.

    Wang Fei placed the rice and chopsticks in front of Gu Man and motioned to them, “Eat.”

    Wen Mian opened his chopsticks, picked out a piece of beef and fed it to Gu Man.

    Gu Man glanced at Wang Fei out of the corner of his eye, raised his hand to hold her down, and whispered: “Wen Wen, you don’t need to feed me, or it will cool down later.”

    Wen Mian frowned and stared at her firmly, not giving in at all.

    After looking at her for a few seconds and seeing clearly that she would not agree, Gu Man obediently lowered his head and ate the beef, a little helpless but mostly filled with sweetness in his heart.

    Wang Fei couldn’t bear to look directly at her, she lowered her head and stared at her phone in embarrassment, pretending to be very busy, but she kept complaining in her heart: This is such a cruel dog, I wouldn’t have come if I had known better.

    No, I’m not a dog!

    She hurriedly sighed in her mind and continued to look at her phone.

    After dinner, Wen Mian helped Wang Fei put away the tableware and handed it to her.

    Seeing that she had no intention of leaving, Wang Fei was stunned for a moment, and finally chose to ask: “Miss Wen, do you want to come together?”

    Wen Mian shook his head and looked up at Gu Man: “No need, I’ll take care of her here.”

    “Okay.” Wang Fei was even more helpless and seemed to be really ready to make a statement.

    .

    After Wang Fei left, the ward fell silent again. Wen Mian thought for a while and simply turned on the TV. Then he turned his head and asked in a low voice, “Do you want to take a shower?”

    Gu Man hummed. Although the nurse had helped clean the wound area, she still remembered that she fainted and fell to the ground, which must have been covered with a lot of dust.

    Wen Mian couldn’t help but look worried, “But, your injury?”

    “It’s okay.” Gu Man responded gently.

    “How about – let me help you?” Wen Mian suddenly blurted out.

    The moment the words were spoken, Wen Mian and Gu Man were both stunned, and the tips of their ears were as red as ripe cherries.

    “I…I didn’t want to take advantage of you, I just wanted to…” Wen Mian explained at a loss as his cheeks burned red.

    “I know.” Seeing her panic, Gu Man responded in a low voice, “And – even if it is… I am taking advantage of you.”

    She vaguely omitted the word “bath” in the middle.

    “Oh…then do you agree?” Wen Mian nodded blankly.

    In the end, I don’t know whether Gu Man responded or not. Anyway, Wen Mian was already standing in the bathroom, with Gu Man sitting on a stool with his back to her in front of him.

    She covered her body tightly with a bath towel, and her delicate porcelain white back was exposed in Wen Mian’s eyes. Her back was slightly curved, like a bright moon in the night sky.

    The two waist hollows are shallow and the vest line runs straight down.

    Wen Mian’s ears were so red that they seemed to be bleeding, and his eyes were wandering around, not knowing where they landed.

    The sound of swallowing was particularly deafening in the silent room. Wen Mian pursed her lips nervously, feeling annoyed, Wen Mian, you are so worthless, why are you swallowing?It’s like you’re craving her!

    “Um…my throat is a little dry.” Wen Mian explained awkwardly, and she was so weak that she didn’t believe it.

    “Yes.” Gu Man lowered his body, his black satin-like hair hanging in front of his body, revealing his cold white neck and pink glands.

    “Then let me start.” Wen Mian slowly moved his eyes to her back and asked with difficulty.

    “Yeah.” Gu Man still said a simple word, but his voice was hoarse.

    Wen Mian picked up a freshly wet towel and wiped her back, very gently, for fear of touching her wounds.

    After wiping it, Wen Mian’s ears were extremely red. She quickly looked away and her words became stammering, “Okay… okay, I’m going out.”

    As she said that, she stood up quickly, her whole body felt like she was in a steamer, the heat was uncomfortable, and she staggered out.

    The sound of the door closing “bang” revealed the shyness of the owner.

    The corners of Gu Man’s lips curved, and his smile deepened.

    She stood up slowly, put down the towel in front of her, and gently took off the remaining clothes.

    While Wen Mian was outside, he used his hands as a fan and fanned his face, trying to dispel the heat on his cheeks.

    By the time Gu Man came out, Wen Mian had returned to his normal expression and was leaning on the bedside watching TV. But as soon as he heard the sound, he immediately glanced at her from the corner of his eye.

    Seeing Gu Man sitting on the bed, she felt relieved and walked into the bathroom. The room was steaming with Gu Man’s rosewood scent lingering.

    The glands on the back of the neck felt slightly itchy, and Wen Mian couldn’t help but touch it with his fingertips, feeling numb.

    The end of her eyes suddenly turned red, and she quickly retracted her hand and took out the clothes Wang Fei had prepared.

    The running water spilled from the shower, flowed over the delicate shoulders, and splashed on the floor.

    After Wen Mian finished washing, the rosewood pheromones in the room gradually merged with the sweet strawberry pheromones.

    The pointer quietly pointed to ten o’clock. Wen Mian turned off the light and lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling. His heart was raised and he swallowed nervously.

    Gu Man turned his head and looked at her with gentle eyes. After staring for a while, she reluctantly closed her eyes and fell into sleep.

    ———————–

    The author has something to say: I suddenly realized that the injury was on my back, and I should have been lying on the bed, but for the sake of my plot, I lay down on my back. Please don’t hold me accountable.

    I made a new appointment with a character card. Isn’t it cute?[Spread flowers]

    It feels like it’s almost over, and I don’t know if I can take off (it feels a bit difficult [crying]), but Mangmang will continue to work hard.
