"I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything by it, just... you look very devoted right now, it's a bit scary."
She really just had a reflex reaction, it was he who said that they were to be brother and sister in the future, and now there's no one else here, so whom is he showing such affection?
"Oh, apology, I forgot, I was still getting into the role of fiancé."
Despite his apologetic words, his annoying expression showed no sign of remorse.
Xia Yinian gave him a glance and closed her eyes again.
Feeling weak all over, she didn't feel good at all.
"What's wrong? Do you still feel very uncomfortable? You've lost a lot of blood and just had a transfusion. Don't think about anything now, just rest for a while."
Watching her closed eyelids, Gu Lingqian became tense once again.
One of his hands was still holding hers, while the other gently stroked her somewhat disheveled hair, truly resembling the tender affection of an elder.
"Sleep well, don't think about anything."
