Chapter 128: Chapter 128 Sleeping Together

"I am Gu Beihuai’s former comrade-in-arms—Qin Yufeng!"

Qin Yufeng confidently extended her hand, though her gaze at Tang Chuxia included a hint of scrutiny.

Wu Haipeng hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, Yufeng is our comrade."

Tang Chuxia shook Qin Yufeng’s hand, "Nice to meet you, Sister Yufeng! I thought you were another peach blossom drawn in by Brother Beihuai!"

Blunt and bold.

Qin Yufeng looked at Gu Beihuai and waved her hands incessantly, "No, it’s not!"

She remembered their last meeting and quickly added, "Last time I had something to discuss with Gu Beihuai, but it was confidential so I couldn’t share specifics, and today I came because I heard Qin Zhan’s mother is having surgery!"

Detailed explanation, but Tang Chuxia interpreted something else from it.

As expected, another peach blossom!

She couldn’t help but glance at Gu Beihuai.

What a flirt.

Gu Beihuai had no idea what was going on, looking speechlessly at her.

Tang Chuxia laughed, "Sister Yufeng, don’t be nervous, we’re all here to visit Auntie!"

The hallway outside the surgery room wasn’t suitable for chatting, so after a few quiet exchanges, Tang Chuxia leaned on Tang Jianjun’s arm for a nap, having not slept well the night before.

Although Gu Beihuai didn’t stand by, he kept an eye on Tang Chuxia, especially when he saw her little head nodding off, shaking slightly with drowsiness, he couldn’t help but feel helpless.

"Come with me!"

Gu Beihuai approached Tang Chuxia and whispered.

Tang Jianjun uncharacteristically didn’t stop them, knowing Tang Chuxia couldn’t go on like this. Although Gu Beihuai was not reliable, Mrs. Gu worked here; there might be a place to rest.

Tang Chuxia, with a sleepy and slightly confused voice, replied, "Oh!"

Obliviously obedient.

She naturally reached out to hold Gu Beihuai’s hand with one hand and rubbed her eyes with the other.

"Let’s go!"

She was slightly wobbly upon standing, and despite trying to stay wide awake, she was overwhelmed by fatigue. Tang Chuxia knew something was off but thought it was nothing serious because the golden finger in her head wasn’t reacting much.

Tang Jianjun opened his mouth to say something, but before he could, Qin Yufeng said, "Let me help her."

Her gaze dropped to their clasped hands, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

Tang Chuxia groggily looked at Qin Yufeng and simply draped herself over Gu Beihuai, "I’m just sleepy! It’s not that I can’t walk!"

Gu Beihuai was caught by surprise as she suddenly hugged his arm, but instead of pushing her away, he disengaged their hand-hold and supported her arm with one hand, "Stand still!"

Tang Chuxia pouted but still responded with an "Oh."

Gu Beihuai waved to Qin Yufeng, "This girl loves to do the opposite of what I say, it’s not that I don’t want your help!"

Qin Yufeng smiled, and without waiting for her to say anything, Gu Beihuai led Tang Chuxia towards Mrs. Gu’s resting area.

"Comrade Tang’s sister is quite peculiar!" Qin Yufeng said instinctively upon meeting Tang Jianjun’s gaze.

Tang Jianjun scratched his head, "She sure is. That girl and Huai don’t get along at all. You wouldn’t guess it seeing how well they get along now, but when they fight, they’re really fierce, each more ruthless than the other!"

Wu Haipeng nodded along, "Exactly, they’ve fought since childhood. If it weren’t for Xiaxia becoming much gentler lately, Brother Beihuai would probably still be getting beaten!"

Qin Yufeng: ...

Felt these men were blind.

Gu Beihuai brought Tang Chuxia to the resting room, which was unoccupied as the night shift workers had just gone home and everyone else was off busy.

"Take a nap here."

Gu Beihuai pointed to a bed for Tang Chuxia, intending to leave, but Tang Chuxia raised her hand and held onto Gu Beihuai’s hand.

"Sleepy!"

Tang Chuxia let out a delicate yawn, looking again at Gu Beihuai.

"That’s why I said to sleep!"

Gu Beihuai doubted if his instruction was unclear, pointing at the bed for her to lie down, but Tang Chuxia shook her head, "I’m afraid someone will come in!"

Gu Beihuai: ...

It’s a communal resting room; isn’t it normal for people to come in?

Tang Chuxia shook Gu Beihuai’s hand, "Brother Beihuai, can you stay and nap with me?"

Gu Beihuai’s expression cracked slightly, doubtfully digging his ears.

"Tang Chuxia, do you know what you’re saying?"

Tang Chuxia nodded, "I said to nap together, not for you to sleep with me!"

Gu Beihuai: ...

Was his Chinese really that poor? Or did Tang Chuxia have some misunderstanding of it? How could she say something like that?

Aren’t those words essentially the same?

He pinched Tang Chuxia’s wrist, making her release his fingers.

"You don’t think I’m about to sleep with you, do you?"

Tang Chuxia suddenly blurted out, only to be met with an even colder stare from Gu Beihuai. She stuck her tongue out, realizing it wasn’t worth it to provoke Gu Beihuai.

She pulled Gu Beihuai to sit on the bed beside her, "You probably didn’t sleep last night, did you? We can both catch some rest!"

Oh, such a considerate wife!

Tang Chuxia was almost touched by her own understanding, but Gu Beihuai wasn’t appreciative.

"Going three days and nights without sleep isn’t an issue for me!"

What a man!

Tang Chuxia gave him a thumbs up, then hugged his waist, "If you’re not sleeping, then hug me while I sleep!"

Gu Beihuai: ...

He quickly pushed Tang Chuxia away and himself lay down on the bed.

Tang Chuxia: ...

Stupid man!

For a moment, she thought of just taking him on the spot, the restless urge in her blood roaring and trying to break free from the chains of morality, but ultimately morality won over everything.

Tang Chuxia fell onto the bed beside, closing her eyes to rest.

Beads of sweat broke out on her forehead as her mind went blank, yet her body started feeling off.

Soon she curled into a ball, her tightly clenched jaw beginning to tremble, the noise alerting Gu Beihuai. He rushed over to check on her, finding Tang Chuxia enduring with great strain.

"Tang Chuxia, what’s wrong?"

Seeing Tang Chuxia unable to respond, he moved to call a doctor, but Tang Chuxia clutched his shirt hem, holding him back.

"It’s of no use!"

Her voice squeezed out between her teeth, unusually strained, "The residual effects of the medicine are coming out!"

Just after she spoke, Gu Beihuai froze, quickly recalling something, he stopped and squatted down to scrutinize her face, "Did you take it again?"

Tang Chuxia almost laughed.

"No, you’re not that foolish, are you?"

Gu Beihuai apparently wasn’t accusing her.

"I’ll get someone to give you an injection!"

Being in a hospital, if it were indeed the drug’s effects, there would be solutions available, but Tang Chuxia knew it wasn’t that simple.

"Last night’s might have been real!"

She referred to a nightmare, and Gu Beihuai realized, tilting her head to examine her neck more closely, yesterday there wasn’t any sign of a needle.

This time he checked carefully, still finding nothing visible.

Finally, at the root of Tang Chuxia’s ear, he noticed a small mark, bending closer to inspect under poor light conditions, he had to tilt his head to let the light in.

It was precisely at this moment that someone pushed the door open...
