Chapter 316: Chapter 316 Weak Legs

Tang Chuxia’s bold statement surprisingly didn’t make Mrs. Gu uncomfortable. On the contrary, she thought her daughter-in-law was quite decent.

A group of people laughed and chatted, even Tang Jianzheng almost forgot he was in pain.

When Tang Jianzheng’s pain subsided and he looked weary, Tang Chuxia yawned, ready to go back and rest.

The others also began to leave one after another.

But just as Tang Chuxia stepped out of the ward, she leaned against Madam Tang.

"What’s wrong?"

Madam Tang clearly felt Tang Chuxia’s weakness, and Mrs. Gu helped Madam Tang support Tang Chuxia back to the ward.

Mrs. Gu was a doctor, and thus more perceptive.

"Don’t ask, this child probably hasn’t fully recovered yet!"

Tang Chuxia forced a smile: "Oh, I just got a little wobbly for a moment!"

Tears welled up in Madam Tang’s eyes. To distract her brother from his pain, this child genuinely kept bustling around in the ward, making everyone almost forget that her body hadn’t recovered yet.

Tang Chuxia lay down in the ward, wanting to explain more, but was too tired and fell asleep immediately.

Mrs. Gu held Madam Tang’s hand: "Minglan, Xiaxia is a good child!"

Madam Tang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, feeling a deep pain in her heart.

She’s just too sensible, sweet-talking since she was little, and no one in the family dislikes her, which is not easy at all. Nowadays, she subconsciously puts everyone else’s health before her own.

The two mothers were truly both in pain and proud.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Father Tang and Father Gu were negotiating with Professor Huang.

Eventually, Father Gu and Professor Huang came up with an agreement that Tang Chuxia could assist with research, but not as Professor Huang’s student, rather as a specially appointed personnel.

Simply put, it’s like dealing with a mechanical factory.

Getting paid for her work, and as for how much Tang Chuxia wants to do, that’s up to her.

Although there were many operational issues, Tang Chuxia indeed had the capability, yet her health wasn’t good. Even if Professor Huang wanted to take her away, he couldn’t.

These days, everyone was focused on Tang Chuxia’s health evaluation results.

One could imagine how serious the problems were.

"I can see, Mr. Gu holds his daughter-in-law in quite high regard!"

Professor Huang noted down the agreed plan to show Tang Chuxia later.

Father Gu chuckled: "Of course, Xiaxia is my daughter-in-law; I treasure her like Zhizhi!" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Father Tang nodded along by the side.

He believed those words.

Over the years, no matter what Tang Chuxia did to Gu Beihuai, any father would have been angry, yet Father Gu always disciplined Gu Beihuai, never saying Tang Chuxia was wrong.

Because of this, Father Tang trusted Father Gu’s words as well. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Finding no other choice, Professor Huang had to leave first, saying he would go back to discuss and establish a standard, making it easier to discuss fees with Tang Chuxia in the future.

"If you change your mind, I’ll still offer a spot to Xiaxia."

Professor Huang expressed his stance, and Father Gu and Father Tang agreed.

The two fathers happily went to tell Tang Chuxia about it, but were met with the sight of both Madam Tang and Mrs. Gu, eyes filled with tears.

"What happened?"

Father Gu was very worried, holding Mrs. Gu’s shoulder to ask.

Mrs. Gu recounted what had just happened, expressing her heartache for Tang Chuxia, while Father Gu sighed: "So considerate!"

Father Tang opened his mouth but didn’t know how to comfort Madam Tang, choosing instead to remain silent.

With Tang Chuxia and Tang Jianzheng both resting, they too decided to head back to the hostel, needing rest themselves.

As for Gu Beihuai, he was arranged to stay behind to take care of Tang Chuxia.

The ward finally quieted down. Gu Beihuai sat by Tang Chuxia’s bedside, watching her frowning even in her sleep.

Truth be told, Tang Chuxia was truly beautiful, it’s just that in the past, Gu Beihuai didn’t pay attention to it, only thinking about overpowering her.

His gaze swept over Tang Chuxia’s brow and eyes, seeing her frowning, Gu Beihuai instinctively placed his fingers on her brow, trying to smooth out the crease.

Tang Chuxia was completely unaware of all this, as she fell back into a dream.

But this time, it wasn’t the hidden memories of the original owner, but her own.

Those belonged to her previous life.

In her past life, Tang Chuxia lived comfortably, serving as the joy-bringer of the family, just like Tang Chuxia now, with loving parents and other elders, but no siblings.

She was an only child.

Maybe it was due to this reason, her family cherished her especially, giving her the best of everything.

Tang Chuxia grew up adored by several elders, never facing any discontent, so when she entered the book world, she instinctively hid her true thoughts, not knowing how to deal with it.

Whenever she thought about her parents being devastated by her departure, her heart felt all sorts of discomfort.

In the dream, Tang Chuxia again sat with her family, eating and chatting, traveling, talking about many trivial matters every family discusses.

Everything seemed unchanged, she still was her parents’ beloved child.

But...

A dream is, after all, just a dream.

Tang Chuxia was very much aware she was dreaming, she knew she had regrets.

When she opened her eyes again, feeling someone holding her hand, truth be told, in that moment, her heart was warm.

Whether it was in her past life or this one, she had always been cherished.

Tang Chuxia tugged Gu Beihuai’s hand: "Aren’t you tired?"

Gu Beihuai had been resting with his eyes closed, and hearing Tang Chuxia’s voice, he opened his eyes.

"Tired of what?"

Gu Beihuai adjusted her quilt and helped her settle into a comfortable sleeping position.

"Did you want to use the bathroom?"

Tang Chuxia shook her head, she was just weak, not incapacitated, she could still manage a trip to the bathroom.

Gu Beihuai rubbed his face and asked if she was hungry, offering to get her something to eat.

"Don’t bother, I’m not hungry. I can see your dark circles, get some rest first!"

Tang Chuxia pulled Gu Beihuai’s arm, bringing him onto the bed.

The hospital bed was small, but neither Tang Chuxia nor Gu Beihuai mentioned it being too narrow for two people. Gu Beihuai just held Tang Chuxia in his arms.

"Are you doing this on purpose?" Gu Beihuai’s voice came from above Tang Chuxia’s head.

Tang Chuxia was in a daze, and upon hearing Gu Beihuai’s voice, she reflexively asked, "On purpose what?"

Gu Beihuai pinched her earlobe: "Intentionally seducing me?"

Tang Chuxia: ...

"Haven’t you just realized?"

Gu Beihuai: ...

That was definitely not the answer he was expecting.

"I said it from the beginning, I was flirting with you, didn’t you know all along? Why are you acting so surprised?"

Tang Chuxia’s laughter burst out uncontrollably, making Gu Beihuai feel as if he was being played.

"Tang Chuxia, do you know what you’re saying?" Gu Beihuai tightened his embrace.

Tang Chuxia was even more straightforward, slipping her fingers under his shirt.

"How about I prove it to you?"
