Gu Yundong looked at him and could not help but pinch his hand. “Don’t think too much. What you need now is to recuperate. Nothing else is important. Also, it’s alright with my father. Other than overly loving his daughter, he’s actually very reasonable.”

She went out to call Tong Ping. Tong Ping came in and changed his dressing. Sure enough, the wound had opened up a little. Fortunately, it was not very serious.

Gu Yundong fed him medicine. Seeing that he had closed his eyes and fallen asleep again, she quietly left the room.

However, as soon as she left, Shao Qingyuan opened his eyes and looked at the beam above his head. No one knew what he was thinking.

The Gu family’s house was very peaceful this night. Gu Yundong knew that her father had accepted Shao Qingyuan. She felt relieved and slept peacefully.

However, she did care about Shao Qingyuan’s injuries, so when she woke up early in the morning, she quickly ran to his room.

Shao Qingyuan had already sat up. Tong Ping had come over to change his dressing at dawn. He had just finished his porridge.

Gu Yundong stepped forward and placed a hand on his forehead. Good, he did not have a recurring fever, and he was in much better spirits than yesterday.

His recovery ability was indeed very powerful.

From the moment she entered, Shao Qingyuan’s gaze had been on her. His eyes were so gentle that they were almost watery.

Gu Yundong slowly felt uncomfortable under his gaze and could not help but glare at him.

“If you keep staring at me, when my father comes later, you’ll be chased home. Do you believe me?”

“Yundong doesn’t want me to go back?” Shao Qingyuan said and reached out to hold her hand.

His hand was warm and the weather was still a little cool early in the morning. Gu Yundong’s small hand was cold. When he held it, he instantly felt a burning heat surge to his heart.

Gu Yundong was speechless.

Shao Qingyuan was extremely satisfied. After holding her hand long enough, he finally let go of her.

“Go and call Uncle Gu. There are some things that shouldn’t be hidden anymore.”

Gu Yundong was stunned. “You…”

Shao Qingyuan took a deep breath. “I’m very calm now. With you around, those things can’t hurt me anymore.”

After a pause, he opened his mouth again and asked nervously, “Is it true that no matter what I say, you won’t leave me?”

Gu Yundong did not know what kind of battle he had gone through that night. She only knew that at this moment, Shao Qingyuan had an unprecedented vulnerability and urgently needed her affirmation.

Hence, she took his hand again and interlocked her fingers with his. She nodded and said, “As long as you haven’t done anything to let me down, I won’t leave you even if you’re a monster.”

Strictly speaking, Gu Yundong’s background was a little mysterious.

Shao Qingyuan seemed to relax and looked down at their intertwined hands.

One was tanned and the other was fair. One was rough and the other delicate. It was as if there was a thread tightly wrapped between the two hands. It was magically reassuring.

“Okay.” His voice was very low. Gu Yundong almost did not hear him clearly.

“Go and summon Uncle Gu.”

Gu Yundong left. After a while, Gu Dajiang entered.

He did not bring anyone but himself and Gu Yundong.

After entering the room, he closed the door.

Shao Qingyuan was leaning against a blanket. After seeing the two of them sit down, he slowly spoke.

“Old Master Li said that he carried me out of the mountains. Actually, that’s not the case.”
