Chapter 142 Gu Zizhan Confesses
Gu Zizhan sat quietly beside the bed, staring at the woman on the bed with focused eyes.
He had never observed a woman sleeping so closely and quietly before.
Her breathing was steady and soft, and I could almost hear her heartbeat.
At this moment, time seemed to stop.
He couldn't help but think of the lively and cheerful woman he saw during the day, which was in stark contrast to her who was sleeping at this moment.
There was still a hint of fatigue on her face, but she was still beautiful.
An indescribable feeling surged in Gu Zizhan's heart. He didn't know what this emotion was, but he felt that something deep in his heart was touched.
She is like an unsolved book. The more you explore her, the more fascinating she becomes.
Time passed by minute by minute, but Gu Zizhan showed no intention of leaving.
He was immersed in his own thoughts, recalling every detail of his acquaintance with her.
He sighed softly, stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the starry sky outside.
Shen Xia felt that this sleep was particularly comfortable. She had been sleeping in the carriage for several days and had been tired all day. She woke up feeling refreshed in the morning.
But when I wanted to raise my hand to rub my eyes, I couldn’t.
Look down.
Wow——-
What's happening here?
How could Gu Zizhan fall asleep here?
She looked at him puzzledly, only to see him holding her hand tightly, his body half leaning on the edge of the bed.
She stared at his face quietly, feeling a strange feeling in her heart.
She had never observed him so closely before, but at this moment she was attracted by his handsome profile.
His perfect jawline is smooth and natural, exuding a unique charm.
Did he stay by her side all night?
She tried hard to recall what happened last night, but she only remembered that she suddenly fainted due to excessive fatigue.
Shen Xia thought about how Gu Zizhan had taken care of her all night, so she didn't move.
She held her hand in his, waiting for him to sleep a little longer.
But after half an hour, brother, I really couldn't bear it anymore. It was fine when I was asleep, but now that I woke up, I couldn't do it. I had to go to the bathroom!
Shen Xia turned sideways and used her other hand to gently pry open his fingers one by one.
Shen Xia was about to laugh and finally opened her eyes, but ended up looking into the eyes that were so close to her.
He stepped back in shock and hit his head on the bed rail.
“Boom….”
"Ouch..."
Shen Xia quickly rubbed his head.
Gu Zizhan quickly stepped forward and held her in his arms, looking at the back of her head and blowing gently: "Are you okay? Why are you so careless!"
Shen Xia looked at the shoulders in front of her and thought, Brother, it was fine before, but now it’s a problem. Is it appropriate for a single man and a single woman like us to be like this?
Shen Xia quickly pushed him away: "It's okay. It's okay."
"Okay then." Gu Zizhan also realized that he was anxious: "You must be hungry! I'll ask someone to get some water for washing."
Shen Xia looked at Gu Zizhan and said, "How should I tell you? I have to go to the bathroom."
"Is there a maid?" Shen Xia asked.
Gu Zizhan frowned: "Tell me what you have to say."
Shen Xia glanced at him and said, "I'm in a hurry."
Gu Zizhan's ears turned red instantly, then he got up and left.
Shen Xia thought he went to find the maid.
As a result, he went to the next room and brought a bucket to the bedside.
Shen Xia was puzzled: "What!"
"Toilet."
After listening to this, Shen Xia looked at the toilet and felt like she was being chopped to pieces, burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.
I couldn't come back to my senses for a long time. Are we all so unreserved?
The point is that after he said that, he went out and closed the door.
Shen Xia looked at the toilet, there was nothing she could do, she couldn't force it anymore.
Let’s go ahead and talk about it later.
Then he tilted the toilet to the position where he had previously held it.
When the door opened, a group of maids came in carrying a lot of things.
"Your hand is injured. Let me wash it for you." Gu Zizhan said as he stepped forward, picked up the towel and wiped Shen Xia's hands, then wrung out the blood.
Shen Xia immediately grabbed it and said, "Let me take care of the face!"
Gu Zizhan smiled faintly: "Okay, I'll have someone prepare the bath water next door, you can rinse your face and have some breakfast first, then take a bath."
Shen Xia looked at herself, which was a bit dirty, and nodded: "Okay."
Originally, Gu Zizhan considered asking someone to help her change her clothes yesterday, but in order not to disturb her sleep, he gave up.
After he finished washing himself, Gu Zizhan also washed up.
this--
Is it what I thought?
Wenzhu was also there while we were having breakfast.
Shen Xia looked at Wenzhu: "Wenzhu, let's eat together!"
Wen Zhu shook her head: "No need, Master and Miss Shen, you didn't eat anything last night, you can eat together, I ate."
My own master didn't even have time to eat because of Miss Shen, so of course I have to let Miss Shen know. Otherwise, how can I do without others knowing that I have done so much?
I am really worried about you, sir.
Shen Xia heard that Gu Zizhan had not eaten last night just like herself.
"Why didn't you eat anything yesterday? You must have been so hungry!" Shen Xia looked at Gu Zizhan and said.
Gu Zizhan raised his eyes: "I can't eat, I have no appetite."
I felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so I decided to keep quiet.
Shen Xia buried her head and ate her breakfast quietly.
Gu Zizhan finished his meal first and then watched Shen Xia eat.
Of course Shen Xia could feel the gazes from the side!
Brother, how can I eat with you staring at me like that?
Shen Xia looked up: "Sir, you worked hard last night, why don't you go and have a rest."
Gu Zizhan didn't say anything, as if he was thinking about something.
After a long time: "I'm sorry about what happened that night. I can take responsibility."
Shen Xia was startled by these sudden words: "Ahem."
Oh my god! We almost booked the table.
It’s really better not to say it, but once you say it, it’s shocking. Why do I need you to be responsible?
Gu Zizhan saw that Shen Xia was frightened by his words, and quickly patted her on the back.
"I'm sorry to scare you. It's okay. You can think about it."
Shen Xia took a deep breath and said, "Don't say you didn't see it. Even if you did, I won't hold you responsible for it."
"The person I marry must be someone I like and who also likes me. Both are indispensable." Shen Xia told Gu Zizhan her requirements.
Of course Gu Zizhan understood what she meant.
Pursing her lips, she said, "What if I said it's not because I want to be responsible, but because I like it!"
Shen Xia looked at Gu Zizhan with a serious expression.
My heart is beating fast.
Even Wenzhu, who was standing next to him, saw her master being so cautious for the first time.
I grew up with the young master, and I have never seen him interested in anything.
But will Miss Shen agree?
Gu Zizhan looked at Shen Xia for a long time without answering, and was afraid that the answer was not what he wanted to hear, so he said: "You don't have to agree to me right away, you can think about it."
"I'll go change and wash my clothes too." Then he left.
Wenzhu looked at her son's actions.
I am speechless.
Then he looked at Shen Xia: "Miss Shen. The bath water is ready, the clothes are placed next to it, and there is a little maid at the door who can be used."
After saying that, he went to chase his own son.
Looking at the two people leaving,
Shen Xia was alone, disheveled in the wind. What was going on?
This was a forced confession, and the confessor didn't even listen to the answer and just ran away.
Oh my god! Whoever this happens to would be confused!
Actually, now that I think about it, Gu Zizhan is a really good person.
His age is about the same as my actual age.
He is a nice person, has a good family background, and is considerate to others.
But the time is too short and I don’t fully understand it yet. Let’s wait and see.
Let things take their course in the future and don’t force them.
Who can say what will happen in the future?
