Chapter 266 Fever
"woke up?"
Her eyelids seemed to be glued shut, and Gu Ranle had to use a lot of effort to slowly open them.
That familiar voice entered her ears without any warning.
Gu Ranle turned her head slightly, and what came into her sight was her grandfather's old face, which was full of vicissitudes of life and wrinkles.
The moment her grandfather opened her eyes, his face was full of smiles, but underneath that smile, the worry in his eyes, which he had not had time to hide, was still keenly caught by Gu Ranle.
In another world, Gu Ranle was overwhelmed by extreme sadness.
Coupled with the biting wind and snow, it blew on her like a knife all day long.
She finally couldn't hold on any longer, fell into a coma, and had a high fever.
And in the real world, she just woke up slowly from her sleep.
"Master."
Gu Ranle opened her mouth, but found that her voice was so hoarse as if it had been sanded by sandpaper, and it sounded extremely unpleasant.
Gu Jiu quickly picked up the honey water on the table next to him, carefully handed it to her, and said softly: "Get up and drink some water to moisten your throat."
Gu Ranle hummed softly, then slowly sat up.
When she sat up, she felt her whole body was limp and she had no strength at all, as if all the strength in her body had been drained away.
"You had a fever, but it's gone now." Gu Jiu looked at her, his eyes full of concern.
"fever?"
Gu Ranle was surprised. She never expected that she would have a fever.
When she was a child, she was very weak and fell ill every other day. But as she grew older, her health gradually improved and she almost never got sick, even seldom catching a cold.
Why did I suddenly have a fever out of nowhere?
Although in the world of the book, she had a fever because she was too sad and was exposed to the cold wind and snow for a day.
But in the real world, she just took a nap, so how could she have a fever?
Gu Ranle shook his head, trying to sober himself up, then took the cup and drank all the water in it.
"Master, how long have I slept?" Gu Ranle put down the water cup and asked.
Gu Jiu looked at the time and said, "It's been almost 8 hours."
Looking at Gu Ranle's pale face, Gu Jiu felt distressed and couldn't help asking, "Did something happen over there?"
Originally, Gu Ranle was still trying hard to control her emotions, but when she heard her grandfather's question, the tears in her eyes fell like beads from a broken string.
"what happened?"
When Gu Jiu saw her crying, he suddenly panicked.
Gu Ranle seldom cried since she was a child. No matter how big the difficulties were, she would grit her teeth and get through them.
But this time, she cried so sadly and helplessly.
Gu Ranle suddenly hugged her grandfather's neck, buried her face in his shoulder, and cried inconsolably.
After a long time, Gu Ranle sobbed and said, "Master, please don't leave me in the future, okay?"
When Gu Jiu heard this, he felt like something was stabbing him in the heart.
He thought back to what Gu Ranle had told him before, that in the world of the book she had a grandfather who was about the same age as him, but in very poor health.
He probably guessed that the grandfather might have passed away.
This was probably why she had a fever for no reason.
Gu Jiu gently patted Gu Ranle's back, just like when he coaxed her to sleep when she was a child, and said softly: "Silly girl, how could I leave you? I will always be with you, no matter what time, I will be by your side."
After hearing this, Gu Ranle cried even harder.
Grandpa is old, and sooner or later he will leave her.
He said this purely to comfort her.
She hugged her grandfather tightly, as if the warmth would disappear if she let go.
Gu Jiu said nothing. He just quietly let Gu Ranle hug him tightly and let her tears soak his clothes.
Gu Ranle cried for a long time, and her cry seemed to express all the sadness in her heart. Finally, she cried until she had no more strength left and fell into a deep sleep again.
Gu Jiu gently laid her flat on the bed, and looking at her haggard appearance, he couldn't help but sigh.
This child, how many things are hidden in his heart?
He turned and went downstairs and into the kitchen.
The kitchen was deserted, with only the pots and pans gleaming coldly under the light.
Gu Jiu skillfully turned on the stove and cooked two bowls of vegetarian noodles.
After a while, the aroma of noodles filled the kitchen.
He carried two bowls of steaming noodles and went upstairs carefully.
Arriving at the bedroom, Gu Jiu woke up Gu Ranle.
Gu Ranle opened her eyes dazedly. When she saw the noodles in front of her, her stomach started to growl.
The grandparents and grandchildren just sat by the bed and finished their noodles quietly.
After eating, Gu Ranle felt as if he had more strength all over his body.
She got out of bed, stretched her muscles, and said, "Master, I feel much better. I want to go for a walk downstairs. I feel uncomfortable all over after sleeping for so long."
Gu Jiu looked at her and asked with concern: "Feeling better?"
Gu Ranle nodded, "Much better, go downstairs and take a walk, maybe you will feel more energetic."
"Then go wash your face first. I'll go wash the dishes and wait for you downstairs." Gu Jiu said.
When Gu Ranle finished washing up and went downstairs, Gu Jiu was already waiting for her in the yard.
The grandfather and grandson were walking leisurely in the yard when suddenly, the security captain rushed over on his electric scooter.
"Grandpa, Miss, there's a man named Li at the door looking for you!" the security captain said breathlessly.
Gu Jiu and Gu Ranle looked at each other, and then said in unison: "Li Xiuneng?"
Gu Jiu snorted coldly, his face full of disdain, "Come here to look for someone in the middle of the night, you definitely don't have any good intentions!"
Gu Ranle frowned and said, "I'll go take a look."
Gu Jiu waved his hand and said, "Let him in."
The security team leader received instructions and quickly left on his electric scooter.
About ten minutes later, the security captain drove the manor's sightseeing car and brought a person to the inner courtyard.
"Miss, we've got the person." said the security captain.
After saying that, he got the people off the sightseeing bus and drove away.
The person who came was Li Xiuneng.
He was wearing casual clothes, his hair was a little messy, and he looked a little disheveled.
"Hello, Mr. Gu." Li Xiuneng greeted Gu Jiu while pretending to be calm.
Gu Jiu snorted again, "Mr. Li, you're visiting me so late at night, it better be something important, otherwise I'll have someone beat you out with sticks!"
It is said that an ugly daughter-in-law is afraid of meeting her parents-in-law, and this ugly son-in-law is even more afraid of meeting his father-in-law.
Gu Jiu's stern face was scary enough to begin with, and now he shouted at him coldly, Li Xiuneng's clothes on the back were immediately soaked with cold sweat.
He licked his lower lip and stammered, "I...I feel a little uncomfortable, so I came to see Doctor Gu."
Gu Jiu crossed his arms and looked at him coldly, "Where do you feel uncomfortable? Come, let me take a look."
That look seemed to be able to see through Li Xiuneng.
Li Xiuneng immediately looked at Gu Ranle for help, but Gu Ranle acted as if he didn't see him. She turned her head away mercilessly and looked at the dark night sky.
