Chapter 4: Kick out the white moonlight, the Best Actor is mine! -4
Gu Zhishen remained silent amidst the doctor's grumbling, his eyes fixed on the IV fluids dripping into Mu Wanwan's body. When he caught a glimpse of her waking up, he pushed aside the nagging doctor and moved closer to her.
Mu Wanwan struggled to get out of bed, but Gu Zhishen quickly pressed her down, asking, "What are you doing?"
"I...I just wanted to..."
She was completely weak and could only barely support herself with the help of Gu Zhishen's arm.
"Your fever has reached 40 degrees Celsius! Lie down immediately! Don't move around!"
Mu Wanwan knew that she was feeling weak all over and couldn't get up, so she didn't hesitate to lie down with him.
Gu Zhishen remained silent. Despite his resentment towards her, he eventually sat down by the bed.
"Look at yourself, what a mess you've made of yourself! Aren't you afraid of burning yourself up?"
Seeing that Gu Zhishen was angry, Mu Wanwan reached out and gently squeezed his hand to comfort him.
His voice was weak and incredibly hoarse, "I~".
The thought of his angry roar brought tears to her eyes. Gu Zhishen gently and awkwardly wiped away her tears. Despite being sick, she insisted on going home. Gu Zhishen felt a gentle touch on something in his heart.
Gu Zhishen placed several soft pillows under her back to support her upper body. Then he poured her a glass of warm water and fed her spoonful by spoonful. Watching her drink the water like a well-behaved little rabbit, he unusually showed her tenderness.
Gu Zhishen had never served anyone before, so his movements were clumsy and awkward. He would occasionally use a tissue to wipe the water stains from the corners of her mouth.
"What did you mean by that before? I've only ever had you as my man from beginning to end, so how dare you accuse me of having an affair! Gu Zhishen, you can't make baseless accusations! I've only ever had you as my man from start to finish, so let's go get the divorce certificate in a bit! Anyway, you already told me to get out!"
Gu Zhishen put down the water glass in his hand, his face serious, but his heart was in a panic. He had only yelled at her in a fit of anger yesterday, and deep down he still didn't want her to leave.
"How can you get a divorce so soon after getting married! I... I don't want to!"
Mu Wanwan felt wronged. She gripped his arm tightly. "I know I'm a substitute, and I understand my identity. I've been trying my best to understand my place, but even so, should my sincerity be trampled on by you?"
Gu Zhishen felt a sudden pang of guilt. "I had my reasons. You were walking and talking with a man, and you even gave him a sweet smile. I thought you had another man."
Seeing that his voice was getting softer and softer, and that he had lost his domineering manner from yesterday, Mu Wanwan sighed and rubbed her forehead.
"You came to pick me up yesterday?"
Gu Zhishen nodded honestly. He had gone to great lengths to pick her up, only to find her chatting and laughing with another man.
"You've misunderstood! That boy isn't my lover. I've never been in a relationship before I was with you. He's just a temporary physical education teacher at the school, mainly in charge of outdoor activities for the children."
Because he helped set up the classroom and look after the children yesterday, I thanked him a few more times when I left work.
"It's definitely not what you think between him and me. If you really don't believe me, I can text or call him right now and have him come to my house to explain to you in person!"
Her explanation filled Gu Zhishen with shame. His previous anger towards her was nothing short of a fabricated accusation without even knowing the truth. Thinking of this, his guilt intensified. In truth, he knew better than anyone that Mu Wanwan was an innocent person; otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to marry her.
At this moment, he was unaware that his possessiveness towards Mu Wanwan had already exceeded his own limits.
Forget it, she's a patient, so I won't hold it against her!
"Ding! Affection level increased by 10! Current affection level is 35!"
With the added favorability boost, Mu Wanwan coughed slightly, and Gu Zhishen hurriedly put down his water glass and spoon, gently patting her back with his hand.
"feel better now?"
Mu Wanwan nodded, feeling her head was heavy. Gu Zhishen patted his shoulder and said, "Want to lean on something? It might make you feel better."
She stared at his face in disbelief, her doe-like eyes blinking expectantly.
The person who was responsible for this misunderstanding slowly reached out and pulled her over, letting her rest her head on his broad shoulder.
Does your stomach hurt?
At that moment, she was worried about his stomach, so Gu Zhishen had no choice but to lie and say, "It doesn't hurt anymore." In reality, he hadn't eaten anything for breakfast.
Mu Wanwan breathed a slight sigh of relief, as if she had just felt at ease. She boldly took advantage of the situation, snuggling into his arms and speaking in a slightly coquettish voice.
"Mr. Gu...!"
Gu Zhishen still couldn't bear it. After hesitating for a moment, he carefully bypassed her hand that was receiving an IV drip, took off his shoes, got into bed, and lay down on his side facing her. He stretched one arm around her neck and the other around her slender waist, holding her tightly and letting her snuggle in his arms.
He coaxed her gently, "Go to sleep, I'll watch the liquid for you."
Gu Zhishen held the tubing near the needle in his palm, using his body heat to warm the liquid entering her body.
Mu Wanwan closed her eyes, her body unconsciously snuggling closer to his embrace, enjoying the peaceful and beautiful moment.
After the explanation was cleared up, Gu Zhishen seemed to have changed a little, and things started to go in a better direction.
Piggy gave Mu Wanwan a thumbs up, "Master truly deserves to be called an award-winning actress!"
After recovering, Mu Wanwan ran into Gu Zhishen's walk-in closet. The entire closet was ridiculously large, and the dazzling array of gorgeous clothes made her dizzy. Her gaze fell on a white sweatshirt, but seeing that it was the wrong size, she shook her head.
Gu Zhishen is currently discussing the role and details of his next film with the company.
"Mr. Gu!"
A gentle voice came from the stairs, and he looked up to see what it was.
She was wearing her own white hoodie, and the height and build difference between the two caused the hoodie to hang loosely on her body, with one shoulder slipping down to reveal half of her shoulder. The length of the hoodie was just enough to cover her hips, and her long, slender, white legs swayed inside the clothes, making her look like a child wearing an adult's clothes.
Gu Zhishen's Adam's apple bobbed hoarsely. Feigning composure, he put down the documents in his hand and hung up the phone.
"I don't have any spare clothes here. I'll change back as soon as my clothes are dry!"
She walked barefoot to him, looking down at her toes, her pink toes gripping the carpet. She kept tugging at the hem of her clothes to prevent herself from being exposed. She was very uneasy, afraid that he would get angry, and didn't know how to face him.
Gu Zhishen forced himself to look away from her and squeezed out two words.
"Ok!"
He took off his slippers, placed them in front of her, and commanded her, "Put them on!"
"Oh!"
She obediently slipped on his slippers and was led to the dining table, where a table of light dishes emitted an enticing aroma.
He took her hand and led her towards the restaurant.
The food wasn't cooked by Gu Zhishen, of course, but he still had his agent find the most famous hotel chef to cook for her.
During the meal, his gaze would occasionally fall on her, and for a moment he seemed to understand why the phrase "a feast for the eyes" was used to describe someone.
"Ding, favorability increased by 10, current favorability is 45."
The piglet bounced around on Gu Zhishen's head, "Master is so amazing! You can gain 10 points just by eating a meal! Keep up the good work!"
After finishing her meal, Mu Wanwan propped her head up with her hand and dozed off, looking like she hadn't woken up properly.
Gu Zhishen picked her up and carried her upstairs. She naturally wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head on his strong chest.
He didn't feel the urge to push Mu Wanwan away when she got close to him, probably because she was a patient.
Well, she's a frail woman, and no one takes care of her when she's sick. As her nominal husband, he has a responsibility to take meticulous care of her until she fully recovers. His lame excuse is one that only he himself can believe.
Because of her illness, Gu Zhishen strongly urged Mu Wanwan to take a few days off from school so that she could rest and recuperate at home. He also postponed his work and stayed home to take care of her.
During her convalescence, Gu Zhishen personally washed, cut, and fed her fruit, becoming quite skilled at it. The fruit would touch her lips, signaling her to open her mouth.
Mu Wanwan shrank back uncomfortably, but he wouldn't stop until he fed her.
She had no choice but to open her mouth and put the fruit on the spoon into her mouth. The plump, tender, and juicy flesh flowed in her mouth. Gu Zhishen swallowed and pressed his lips to hers.
During his recovery, Gu Zhishen was fed imported fruit every day, and he enjoyed it immensely, even reminiscing about it.
Suffocated by the kiss, Mu Wanwan pushed him away slightly with her small hands, showing a hint of resistance. Gu Zhishen reluctantly pulled away from her lips, pressing and tracing the shape of her lips with his fingertips. The taste in her mouth was indeed different, delicious!
"Fool, don't you know how to breathe through your nose?"
Mu Wanwan shook her head, feeling wronged. "I have no experience, unlike you who are very experienced."
Gu Zhishen was extremely annoyed.
He has no experience himself, okay? Men are naturally gifted in this area, so why is he being described like a scumbag?
"You are my first woman, and I used all my first time on you."
Mu Wanwan raised her head, her eyes filled with tears, looking pitiful, as if Gu Zhishen had humiliated her.
“I know I’m a stand-in. I won’t be angry if you use me for practice. I’m aware of my role as a stand-in.”
