Chapter 47: Chapter 46 Embrace and Sleep

After Wanwan left the corridor, she casually walked into a room on the second floor. From downstairs, the noise of a crowd bustling and clamoring rose. The beautiful-eyed woman, irritated, plugged an earphone into her ear and boredly scrolled through the Weibo page on her phone.

Wanwan had struggled her way from an obscure eighteenth-tier celebrity to her current widespread fame. Being in the entertainment industry, she inevitably encountered fabricated scandals. Her gaze settled on a series of malicious Weibo comments, and she pursed her lips, seemingly accustomed to such abuse. It was nothing more than being attacked by fans of a young popular star she had recently acted with. Recollecting this, she weakly pinched the space between her eyebrows.

After an unknown period, a knock on the door was heard. Wanwan alertly looked up and beckoned the visitor to come in.

Looking up, she saw Aunt Liu cautiously walking in with a cake in hand, "Big Young Madam, Second Young Madam asked me to bring you a cake."

Although Wanwan did not interact much with the Gao Family, many there kept their distance due to her notorious reputation. Suddenly receiving attention made her feel somewhat uncomfortable. After realizing this, she commanded in surprise, "Just put it there!"

Aunt Liu placed the cake down without a word and left the room. Wanwan, who had been sitting and playing with her phone, glanced at the cream cake on the table after Aunt Liu left, overhearing that it was Jiang An who had sent it. Her gaze wandered for a while, then she resumed scrolling on her phone screen.

It wasn’t until around seven or eight in the evening that the crowd finally dispersed completely. After everything was cleared up, grandma urged Jiang An, who had been busy all day, to go upstairs to rest. Walking tiptoe into the room, the girl noticed the person on the bed still deeply asleep and didn’t have the heart to wake her. She then took her pajamas and went to take a shower.

After dressing in her pajamas, the girl lay down beside Gao Chuan just as before, carefully turning off the bedside switch. Darkness immediately enveloped the room, and taking advantage of the man’s deep sleep, she stared at his blurred features in the dark.

The man’s eyes were tightly closed, his neck slender, his jawline elegant, his facial features sharp, his lips thin, and his expression serene like water.

Jiang An realized she was foolishly blushing at Dr. Gao’s handsome face, quickly turned over and faced away from Gao Chuan, feeling immensely embarrassed about her earlier "peeping." Just as she was wrestling with her shame, a movement suddenly came from beside her. She initially wanted to turn around to check, but in the next second, the man’s arm unexpectedly draped over her shoulder. Startled, Jiang An lay on her side, and before she could react, she felt the man behind her pressing close, an arm gently wrapping around her slender waist and suddenly pulling her into a warm embrace.

In the quiet room, Jiang An heard her own "thumping" unstoppable heartbeat and, from behind, the man’s steady breathing, her face instantly flushing red as blood, her body stiffening, daring not to move.

Jiang An lay in Gao Chuan’s arm, her back pressed against the man’s warm chest. Although they had shared a bed several times, they had never been this close before.

That night, Dr. Gao held her in his arms as they slept.

The next day, as dawn’s light gently crept in and the sky slowly brightened, a morning sun peeked through the sea of clouds.

When Jiang An opened her eyes, she found the spot beside her empty. Her mind flooded with the scene of being held by Gao Chuan asleep. She slightly lifted the corners of her mouth, remembering she was still at grandma’s house. The girl quickly got out of bed, intending to wash up in the bathroom, but upon opening the door she found Gao Chuan brushing his teeth. Reflected in the mirror, was the handsome, extraordinary face of the man, seemingly disheveled from just waking up, his messy hair standing atop his head, making him look somewhat lazy — a stark contrast to his usual suited appearance. This time, Gao Chuan completely looked like a perfect homebound man.

Seeing Jiang An who pushed the door and came in, Gao Chuan was initially stunned, then silently slid to the side. Jiang An walked up to him, smiling, "Good morning, Dr. Gao."

Still holding his toothbrush, Gao Chuan stared with a mouthful of foam and responded. He then watched the girl in the mirror start to squeeze toothpaste and begin brushing her teeth, their reflections standing side by side.

The girl brushed her teeth quickly in just a moment, while the composed man beside her proceeded slowly, his gaze fixed on Jiang An. Watching the girl turn on the faucet to start washing her face, her bangs almost completely wetted as there were no hair ties at grandma’s house, she quickly wiped her face with a towel and looked back in the mirror, after which Gao Chuan continued brushing his teeth.

The girl attentively examined her own little face, seemingly noticing a pimple had popped up and frowning unhappily. She stood up straight and noticed Gao Chuan still hadn’t finished brushing his teeth and said, "Dr. Gao, I’m going downstairs first." Then, she hurriedly left the bathroom, leaving Gao Chuan alone in front of the mirror, his eyebrows relaxed and lips curved in a slight, almost imperceptible smile.

They seemed more and more like a married couple.

Jiang An trotted downstairs to find grandma sitting at the dining table browsing her phone. Smiling, she walked behind grandma and gently tapped the old lady’s shoulder, leaning her head toward the phone screen and curiously asked, "Grandma, what are you looking at?"

The old lady, feeling the girl leaning on her shoulder, chuckled.

In the past few days at grandma’s house, Jiang An tried to teach the old lady how to use a smartphone. Just yesterday, she had helped grandma download Weibo, and seeing that grandma was browsing it now, Jiang An giggled, "Grandma, you’re learning so fast. Follow me!"

"How do I follow?" Grandma lifted her reading glasses, revealing a puzzled expression.

Jiang An took a seat next to grandma, took her phone, and started demonstrating step by step, searching her username "The Little Jiang Who Loves Strawberries" on Weibo. She opened her profile page and told grandma to just click the orange plus sign to follow her and see her posts.

After washing up, Gao Chuan came downstairs and saw the elderly and the young laughing by the dining table. He sat down with a stern face and started eating breakfast on his own, overhearing Jiang An and grandma chattering away, completely ignoring him. The man took a sip of fresh milk and cleared his throat.

After a while, Jiang An finished teaching grandma and finally put down her phone to eat. Grandma, still fascinated by her newly acquired skill, left the dining table and headed toward the living room, leaving the two at the table eating in silence.

As if trying to break the awkward atmosphere, the man’s magnetic voice sounded in her ear, "What were you just doing?"

Jiang An, who was in the midst of biting into a piece of bread, paused, then responded, "Teaching grandma how to use Weibo."

Gao Chuan, still eating his breakfast slowly, heard this and nodded woodenly, not asking further. Just then, grandma returned from the living room and asked Jiang An, "Anan, why can’t I see your posts on Weibo?"

Jiang An leaned in to show grandma how to open the Weibo page. The old lady, noticing that Gao Chuan had been left out the entire time, turned her head to ask him if he had a Weibo account, wishing to follow him too.

The invariably naive Dr. Gao shook his head, saying he didn’t have one, which led to some teasing from grandma, "You’re even more outdated than this old lady..."

Gao Chuan: "..."
