Gu Jinrong originally had enough sleepiness, but now, after some tossing and turning, she seemed to have caught some drowsiness.
Unknowingly, she was holding a stove in her arms, and her consciousness gradually became hazy.
The two of them fell asleep until the afternoon.
When Shen Qingzhi opened her eyes again, her spirit had improved significantly. She was covered in sweat, and most of her fever had disappeared.
She raised her eyelids and looked at the warm sleeping face on the pillow only a palm away. She bit her lip silently and appeared much quieter than usual.
She turned her head and glanced at the antipyretic medicine on the bedside, and some vague memories from the day came to her mind.
She had woken up once before. Although her brain was hazy and confused, it was not completely broken.
She remembered that Gu Jinrong carried her to get the medicine, and then sat by the bed chatting with someone unknown.
Gu Jinrong's voice was usually cool and pleasant when she spoke. At that time, she had said many things, but Shen Qingzhi couldn't remember the content, only hearing the words "public" and "soon" during her dazed moments.
What does she want to disclose? Is it our relationship? But wouldn’t that be a violation of the marriage agreement? Or is she actually lying? Why?
Shen Qingzhi was so feverish that she couldn't even open her eyes, but she still had the energy to think about so many things.
But before she could figure out the reason, the person who was on video call a second ago had already gotten into her bed.
The sensation at her side was warm and soft, and Shen Qingzhi instinctively reached out.
Normally, she would not be so bold. Even if she looked at Gu Jinrong a few more times, she would have held herself with some restraint.
But now she was sick, had a fever, and was confused. As a patient, she could do as she pleased!
After she wakes up, Gu Jinrong can't argue with her as a patient.
So, Shen Qingzhi spent that time half-awake, half-confused, rolling around in Gu Jinrong's embrace, and dared to do all the things she had never dared to do before.
Not to mention, when the black heart sweats, the fragrance of gardenia on her body becomes even stronger. Holding was quite soft, and the legs were also slender...
Shen Qingzhi had a very peaceful sleep, but it was tough for Gu Jinrong. She tried her best to control herself to not do anything like an animal to the sick woman next to her pillow.
Throughout the entire process, Gu Jinrong was the one being treated like a beast.
So much so that even when the patient had been awake for quite some time, she lay there completely unconscious.
At this moment, Shen Qingzhi had no intention of waking anyone up. Back when she was on the film set, she often felt like there was an almost invisible gaze sticking to her, making her quite nervous.
A black-hearted person is a bad person who always likes to secretly look at people.
Now, with the situation rarely reversed, it's her turn to assess the black-hearted person.
With eyebrows like distant mountains and skin as smooth as cream, she still has some beauty.
Shen Qingzhi extended the back of her hand and wanted to poke the soft flesh of her cheek. But before her fingertips could touch it, the sleeping person suddenly opened her eyes.
Clear eyes, with a gentle smile.
Shen Qingzhi was like a student who was caught by her teacher doing bad things secretly and pulled her hand back guiltily.
It's just that she didn't know whether it was because she was weak from the fever or too nervous, but her movements were extremely stiff and slow.
Before she could remove her hand from the pillow, Gu Jinrong took the initiative to raise her head and put her cheek to Shen Qingzhi's fingertips.
The fingertip's touch was delicate and soft, and Shen Qingzhi felt a surge of electricity run down her spine.
Gu Jinrong, who usually has a devilish look, now looks a little more friendly and harmless because she is not wearing makeup.
When she willingly pressed her cheek against Shen Qingzhi's fingertip, Shen Qingzhi suddenly remembered the dog Xiao Hei she had encountered in the village, which also willingly placed its head in the palm of someone's hand, and asked for petting.
Black heart, and Xiao Hei. Shen Qingzhi found herself amused by the unexpected connection, and couldn't help but let out a laugh.
Seeing Shen Qingzhi happily laughing, Gu Jinrong's eyes twinkled, revealing a slightly enticing posture. "It seems Qingqing is very satisfied with my service."
"What...what service?" Shen Qingzhi tilted her head in confusion but was distracted by an itch on her leg.
From the time they woke up until now, several minutes had passed, and their entangled position remained unchanged. Shen Qingzhi pushed her body back half a person's length, looking innocent. "Hey, why are you sticking so close? Are you taking advantage of me while I'm sick?"
Gu Jinrong didn't feel angry at all about Shen Qingzhi's accusation.
She bent down, straightened her rolled-up pant legs, and deliberately passed her arms in front of Shen Qingzhi. Feeling the trembling of the person in front of her, the corners of her mouth curved.
"Qingqing was so proactive before, and now you don't remember at all?" She tried to make her tone sound a bit pitiful, but the smile at the corner of her lips was too obvious to contain.
"You...Nonsense, I was burning up that my hands were weak, how could I take the initiative to hug you? It was obviously you who insisted on squeezing in with me when you saw me sleeping. Well, I'm a big-hearted person, so I won't argue with you this time."

When it came to twisting the truth and telling blatant lies, Shen Qingzhi was a good player.
There are things that one can do on their own, but it's another matter when someone mentions it to your face.
Seeing Shen Qingzhi's annoyed expression, which made her look seemingly in good spirits, Gu Jinrong's mood improved as well.
"Oh, I just mentioned being proactive earlier, I didn't describe any actions. Qingqing actually remembered it so clearly."
Shen Qingzhi:...
In terms of eloquence, Shen Qingzhi was not a match against the logic control of the black heart especially since she was currently a patient. So, she decided to cheat.
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you. I'm hungry and going to find something to eat." As she said this, she attempted to get up from the bed like a carp.
However, as she was just halfway through sitting up, Gu Jinrong used one slender arm to push her back down.
It's just a slender arm, but it's like pressing down on Sun Wukong's Five-Finger Mountain*, no matter how the monkey below tries to struggle, she can't overturn it.
*In the novel Journey To The West, Buddha imprisoned the protagonist Sun Wukong aka Monkey King under the Five-finger Mountain for 500 years after he rebelled against heaven.
Shen Qingzhi:!
This black heart is deliberately trying to annoy me, right?
She glared at the person next to her pillow, but the other person had already removed the pressure from her body, and the next second she stood up and stepped into the slippers beside the bed.
"Qingqing, take a little more rest. I'll go and bring the prepared breakfast, although it should be afternoon tea now."
Gu Jinrong might tease people, but her skills in being considerate were undiminished.
She placed the pillow sideways on the head of the bed and helped Shen Qingzhi sit up. Concerned that the other person might get bored, she also grabbed a tablet and placed it in her lap.
"Just wait for me, I'll be back very soon." Gu Jinrong delicately tucked Shen Qingzhi's stray hair behind her ear and then left the bedroom.
Being treated so considerately, Shen Qingzhi's earlier anger had now completely disappeared.
She pulled the pillow behind her awkwardly, twisting like an earthworm for a long time before finally finding a comfortable position to lean on.
She unlocked the tablet with her fingerprint and opened the Weibo APP out of boredom.
In the past few days, to maintain her focus on the shooting progress and not let her state be affected, she had almost isolated herself from the world. Now, she checked if there were any fresh news.
Perhaps it had been a long time since she had opened Weibo. As soon as Shen Qingzhi logged in, a large number of red messages appeared on the screen.
Likes, comments, and @s, in the several months she had been secluded on the set, her dedicated little fans were still enthusiastic, punctual, and unwavering, coming through rain or shine.
Shen Qingzhi originally wanted to post a selfie on Weibo to say she was safe, but then she remembered how unkempt she looked at that moment. Instead, she sent a photo of maple leaves taken on the set.

When fans saw that someone who had disappeared for a long time suddenly "resurrected," they were ecstatic and started chattering away.
Shen Qingzhi flipped through the comments for a while before casually browsing various news in the hot search section.
[XX and OO Enter Divorce Cooling-off Period, Former Model Couple No More]
[AA claims that she can eat five bowls of rice in one meal, and discusses the incredible appetite of female celebrities in the entertainment industry]
[SS’s beloved husky was violently beaten by a roadside stray dog]
….
Shen Qingzhi:...
What's all this about? I've just been quietly secluded for a few months, and the internet has become this boring?
She couldn't help complaining in her heart, but she suddenly saw a familiar name.
[Well-known Chinese composer Wen Qi will return to China soon]
Shen Qingzhi clicked on the entry and saw that several verified accounts were discussing this topic, and the images were all of a red-haired woman.
Shen Qingzhi was somewhat impressed by this composer.
This person showed talent in both lyrics and composition. Although she had been in M Country in recent years, many of her works were well-received in the country.
Unfortunately, fate is envious of talents. In her earlier years, she lost both legs in a car accident. However, from the photo, her current condition seemed quite good.
Shen Qingzhi's gaze landed on the red-haired woman's face in the photo. The woman had sharp features, and her striking red hair added a sense of fierceness to her appearance.
Someone like this can create such melancholic and profound music, truly, one should not judge by appearances.
Shen Qingzhi has always had some admiration for talented individuals, so she casually liked the news about Wen Qi.
She was about to log out of Weibo when she heard familiar footsteps approaching.
Looking up, it was Gu Jinrong walking over carrying several bowls on a tray.
From Shen Qingzhi's perspective, she couldn't see clearly what was in the bowl, but the smell was extremely fragrant.
"Qingqing, luckily I prepared a light breakfast. You can have these dishes with barley porridge to nourish your stomach."
Seeing that Shen Qingzhi was still holding the tablet, Gu Jinrong placed the tray on the bedside table and took one of Shen Qingzhi's hands. "What are you looking at so intently?"
Shen Qingzhi didn't hide anything and tilted the tablet screen in Gu Jinrong's direction. "Here, this composer, she's quite talented, and they say she's coming back to China soon."
Gu Jinrong originally had a smile on her face, but when she saw the figure on the tablet clearly, her expression suddenly became serious.
Shen Qingzhi saw Gu Jinrong staring intently at the person on the tablet, and couldn't help but feel a bit curious.
"Ah, even if someone is pretty, there's no need to stare like that. It's not like you've never seen a beautiful woman before. Don't you look in the mirror sometimes..."
Gu Jinrong remained silent, but the hand she was holding tightened unconsciously.
Shen Qingzhi winced in pain and finally realized that something was amiss. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Ah, that hurt."
When Gu Jinrong heard Shen Qingzhi's cry of pain, she suddenly came to her senses and hurriedly let go."Qingqing, I'm sorry, I..."
It was rare for Shen Qingzhi to see Gu Jinrong lose her composure, so she waved her hand magnanimously. "Forget it, forget it, I'm not blaming you. I want to eat the porridge. "
As she spoke, she quickly turned the tablet screen off and thought to herself: It seems that the black heart has a problem with this beauty, and I'd better not bring it up in front of her in the future.
