Mr. Gu returned to the room, and Qiao Yuxian had already rolled to the foot of the bed, one leg hanging off the edge, her foot just barely not touching the ground.
Mr. Gu put down the medicine box and moved her further onto the bed while holding her.
Qiao Yuxian opened her eyes and glanced at him, then closed them again. After a while, she murmured, "Why did you come back so quickly?"
"To apply some medicine," Mr. Gu replied.
Qiao Yuxian turned over to lie on the bed, struggling to move her lips: "No rush, you can do it later."
Mr. Gu sat by the bed, placed her leg on his own leg, and rolled up her fallen pants before saying, "Go back to sleep."
"Mm."
Qiao Yuxian answered and then fell asleep.
Mr. Gu gently applied the medicine on her.
His movements were very gentle, not disturbing Qiao Yuxian's sleep at all.
After applying the medicine, he lowered his head and gently blew on it.
