Chapter 1460: Chapter 1364: Acclimatization Issues

Gu Qichen turned around and was grabbed by Xia Yangyang.

But because Gu Qichen was so strong, he pulled Xia Yangyang forward slightly.

She was completely out of strength right now, and her whole body toppled forward.

Luckily, Gu Qichen reacted quickly and wrapped his arms around Xia Yangyang’s waist.

Xia Yangyang ended up falling into Gu Qichen’s embrace.

Xiao Li noticed how intimate the scene was.

Hurriedly, he said, "Mr. Gu is back, so I’ll head over to Director Xie now. Later, Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu can join us for dinner at the Tulou. The production crew has prepared a feast for everyone tonight."

After he finished speaking, Xiao Li left.

Xia Yangyang struggled to stand up from Gu Qichen’s arms.

She said, "I’ve really troubled Doctor Xu for nothing. I’m honestly fine — probably just caught a cold."

Her symptoms were indeed similar to a cold: no strength, a headache, and a slight feverish feeling.

Gu Qichen placed his hand on Xia Yangyang’s forehead to check her temperature.

She wasn’t running a fever.

His worries eased slightly.

He helped Xia Yangyang into the room.

Sitting by the bed, Xia Yangyang said to Gu Qichen, "You really don’t need to worry about me. I’m probably just not adapting well to the environment."

He replied, "You’ve been here for three or four days now, and you’re only having trouble adapting now? Your reaction time really is impressively slow."

Though his tone was mocking, Xia Yangyang could tell that Gu Qichen was genuinely concerned about her.

Not seeing Xia Ye around, Xia Yangyang asked, "Where’s Xia Ye?"

Gu Qichen responded, "He hasn’t come down from the mountain yet."

She grew worried. "You left him alone up there? He’s just a kid!"

"Don’t worry. He’s with Tang Rufeng and his wife; they’ll look after him for me. Xia Ye is far more reliable than you — he doesn’t need anyone worrying about him."

Xia Yangyang: "..."

Gu Qichen brought over a basin of warm water and said to Xia Yangyang, "Take off your clothes. I’ll wipe you down. You’re soaked through."

She had slept the whole afternoon, her back drenched in cold sweat, so she was indeed wet through.

Gu Qichen noticed this when he held her earlier.

But for him to help her wipe down her body?

Xia Yangyang didn’t have the face for that.

She quickly said, "I’ll do it myself. This... feels a bit inappropriate."

Gu Qichen frowned at her.

Seeing that she was sick, he didn’t argue further.

Instead, he turned around and covered all the cameras in the room.

Even though his back was turned, Xia Yangyang still couldn’t bring herself to undress in front of him.

So she went directly to the bathroom.

She genuinely felt completely drained of energy.

Even standing was a struggle.

So she ended up taking quite a while inside.

She managed to wipe herself down, but then realized she hadn’t brought the clothes she wanted to change into.

Was Gu Qichen still outside?

Just as she was debating her next move.

Gu Qichen knocked on the bathroom door.

She cracked it open slightly. "What is it?"

Gu Qichen passed her the clothes she’d left behind.

Including... her underwear.

Xia Yangyang flushed red as she took the clothes through the narrow gap and muttered, "Thanks."

When she came out, her head seemed clearer.

That’s when the assistant showed up to tell them it was time for dinner at the Tulou.

Apparently, everyone else had returned.

Xia Yangyang said, "You should go. I don’t have much of an appetite right now."

Gu Qichen didn’t say much.

After making sure Xia Yangyang was lying down, he left the room.

The room fell quiet almost immediately.
