128: Chapter 127: Administering Medicine_1 128: Chapter 127: Administering Medicine_1 Zhang Huahua’s face instantly flushed red as she hurriedly explained, “What are you talking about, Sister Gu?

How can your imagination be so rich?

When you were unconscious before, it was Dr.

Wang from the village who came to give you acupuncture.

These medicines were just prescribed; how could I feed him medicine like that!”

Gu Hongzhuang felt embarrassed, realizing she had misunderstood.

She gave a light cough and said, “I…

I was just joking with you, haha, you took it seriously.

Look at you, little girl, your face is so red.

Tell Sister, do you want to kiss someone mouth to mouth like that?”

Zhang Huahua turned her head away, and huffed, “I…

I don’t want to.

Mouth to mouth is so gross.”

Gu Hongzhuang teasingly looked at the girl, knowing she was at the age where feelings begin to bud, and most interested in matters regarding men and women.

Surely, she did not mean it when she said she didn’t want to.

She turned to look at Lu Chuan, finding the method Zhang Huahua had mentioned to be indeed feasible, but she felt a bit awkward about her relationship with Lu Chuan and wasn’t sure if she should proceed.

Zhang Huahua asked from the side, “Sister Gu, what are you thinking about?”

Gu Hongzhuang replied with a smile, “I’m considering whether or not to feed him the medicine in the way you suggested.”

Zhang Huahua said, “What’s there to consider?

Aren’t you two lovers?

It’s normal for couples to kiss mouth to mouth, isn’t it?

I’ve seen couples on TV who love doing that.”

After thinking for a moment, she added, “I mean on TV, of course.

Personally, I find that kind of behavior a bit disgusting.”

Gu Hongzhuang smiled and pinched Zhang Huahua’s nose, saying, “I bet you can’t wait to find a boyfriend and try it out.”

Zhang Huahua’s cheeks turned red as she retorted, “I…

I don’t!”

Gu Hongzhuang stopped teasing the young girl and turned to say, “Well then, I’ll try the method you recommended.”

She had told Zhang Youde’s family that she and Lu Chuan were lovers who had gone out on a trip and accidentally fallen into the River Ling.

Since they had already told others they were a couple, they had to play the role convincingly to avoid suspicion.

“This is to avoid exposure.

Mm, Lu Chuan will understand once he wakes up,” Gu Hongzhuang reassured herself.

She looked at Zhang Huahua and said, “I’m going to feed him the medicine now.

You go outside; no peeking.”

Zhang Huahua raised her head, “I would not want to watch that.”

Having said that, she turned and left the room.

Gu Hongzhuang picked up the medicine, took a mouthful, bent over, approached Lu Chuan’s mouth, and after kissing him, slowly transferred the medicine into his mouth.

Zhang Huahua sneakily peeked her head in, watching the scene curiously, her heart racing and breathing quickening.

“Even though it’s gross, it’s…

so thrilling,” she whispered to herself.

After Gu Hongzhuang passed the medicine into Lu Chuan’s mouth, his instinct was to spit it out.

Gu Hongzhuang saw this and quickly used her tongue to stop him.

At first, Lu Chuan resisted, but perhaps feeling the soft touch that carried no malice, he gradually relaxed and stopped resisting.

Following that, Gu Hongzhuang fed him the medicine mouthful by mouthful.

Though the medicine was bitter, Gu Hongzhuang didn’t mind at all; instead, she quite enjoyed the process.

Towards the end, a flush crept up her face, and her body grew warm.

After finishing the bowl of medicine, Gu Hongzhuang took some paper and wiped her mouth, also wiping Lu Chuan’s.

She got up with the bowl, intent on leaving, when her eyes fell on Zhang Huahua peeking at the doorway.

She felt overwhelmed with shyness and shouted, “Didn’t I say no peeking!”

Realizing she was caught, Zhang Huahua turned and ran off, saying, “I wasn’t watching, I just happened to be passing by, I really didn’t want to see!”

Gu Hongzhuang, flustered and frustrated, stamped her foot and then went out to wash the bowl and clean up the pot where the medicine had been cooked.

After a short while, Zhang Huahua returned to Gu Hongzhuang’s side, face unabashed.

Gu Hongzhuang glared at her reproachfully.

Zhang Huahua chuckled sheepishly and asked, “Sister Gu, how did you meet Big Brother Lu Chuan?

Did he chase after you, or did you chase him?”

Gu Hongzhuang paused for a moment, then smilingly said, “You could say I chased after him.”

Zhang Huahua’s eyes widened, “Ah?

You chased him?

You are so beautiful, Lu Chuan is not worthy of you at all.

Why did you have to chase him?”

Gu Hongzhuang smiled and said, “Because he is talented.

He once gave me a piece of calligraphy.

When I saw it, I knew I had fallen for him.”

Filled with curiosity, Zhang Huahua asked, “What did it say?”

Gu Hongzhuang articulated each word carefully, “A smile that launched a thousand ships.”

Zhang Huahua pondered and nodded, “Sister Gu, you do look very pretty when you smile.

The calligraphy does suit you.”

Then she asked again, “I can tell Sister Gu really likes Big Brother Lu Chuan, but does Big Brother Lu Chuan like Sister Gu?”

The smile on Gu Hongzhuang’s face faded, and with a sigh she said, “I don’t know.”

Zhang Huahua’s face fell and she said, “Could it be that Lu Chuan doesn’t appreciate you?

Anybody with a sound mind should be able to see your virtues, Sister Gu.

You are more beautiful than many TV stars.”

Gu Hongzhuang gave a self-deprecating laugh and said, “Who knows, but I don’t ask for much.

As long as I can be with him during this time, I’ll be satisfied.”

Zhang Huahua indignantly said, “Once he wakes up, I’m definitely going to interrogate him to find out if he’s the kind of scumbag they talk about online.

If he is, I’ll kick him out of our house!”

“Of course, I would never kick out Sister Gu.

You can stay at my house for as long as you want.”

Gu Hongzhuang smiled and didn’t speak again.

In the following days, Gu Hongzhuang fed Lu Chuan the medicine according to Zhang Huahua’s suggested method.

After a few days, Lu Chuan’s complexion had improved slightly but he was still in a coma.

That afternoon, Gu Hongzhuang once again prepared to feed Lu Chuan the medicine.

She carefully poured the medicine into Lu Chuan’s mouth.

After she finished, she turned her head to glance at the door and noticed Zhang Huahua was not peeping.

Remembering that Zhang Huahua had said she was going to town today with her husband Zhang Youde, Gu Hongzhuang’s heartbeat suddenly quickened.

She looked back at Lu Chuan, bit her lip, and a bold idea sprang to mind.

Taking a deep breath, she leaned down again and kissed Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan’s eyes began to move.

In a daze, he felt a touch of softness entwined with him.

His consciousness gradually returned, and his brain started to clear.

He felt as though he had been in a lengthy dream, where every so often, a soft entity would attack him and spit out many bitter fluids that made him very uncomfortable.

“I should be awake by now, so why am I feeling that soft touch again?”

A trace of doubt emerged in Lu Chuan’s mind.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw Gu Hongzhuang seriously kissing him, leaving him dumbfounded.

Gu Hongzhuang also opened her eyes.

Their gazes locked, and the air suddenly froze.

“He…he woke up suddenly?” Gu Hongzhuang felt tingling on her scalp, became incredibly flustered, and quickly rose from Lu Chuan’s body.

Her cheeks were burning hot, and she nervously clutched the corners of her dress, her feet awkwardly shuffling as if she were tracing out a three-bedroom apartment.

“You…you’re awake?”

Lu Chuan continued to gaze at Gu Hongzhuang in bewilderment.

After a while, he finally asked, “Sister Hong, were you …

kissing me just now?”

Gu Hongzhuang, clearly flustered, said hastily, “Who kissed you!

I…I was feeding you the medicine!”

“When you were in a coma, I tried to feed you with a spoon, and you kept spitting it out.

The doctor said you wouldn’t wake up if you didn’t take this medicine.

Out of desperation, I could only think of this method.”

“I didn’t want to kiss you at all.”

Despite what she said, her nervous and awkward demeanor had completely betrayed her.

So the creature that spat bitterness at me in my dreams was Sister Hong …

A thought like this popped into Lu Chuan’s mind.

He watched Gu Hongzhuang, who was usually so calm, hastily explain, and found it somewhat amusing.

However, he didn’t want to call her out on it; after all, it was rather embarrassing.

If he pursued the matter, both of them would be too ashamed to face anyone.

“Sister Hong, where are we?” Lu Chuan changed the subject.

Gu Hongzhuang finally became a bit more composed and sat down on the edge of the clay bed before recounting what had happened.

“We’re in a village called Back Camp Village; it’s quite remote, over ten kilometers from the town, let alone the county.

You don’t need to worry about Long Tianya finding us here for the time being.”

Lu Chuan nodded.

He hadn’t expected he would survive; it felt almost like he had been reborn.

Looking earnestly at Gu Hongzhuang, he said, “Sister Hong, thank you.”

Gu Hongzhuang replied, “No need to thank me, it was just self-preservation.

It’s your own life that’s tough.”

Lu Chuan knew Gu Hongzhuang was speaking modestly on purpose.

After all, he had been unconscious after falling into the River Ling.

If Gu Hongzhuang hadn’t desperately held onto him, he would have been dead long ago.

He didn’t want to utter empty platitudes.

If he ever had the chance, it would be better to repay Gu Hongzhuang with real actions.

His brush with death seemed to have broadened his perspective on life.

He checked his own body and then froze.

Gu Hongzhuang said from the side, “As long as you’ve woken up, that’s good.

You are exceptionally talented.

After you heal from your injuries, don’t rush to seek revenge.

You can cultivate here for a while.

Once your strength surpasses that of Long Tianya, you can go back and seek your vengeance.”

“Of course, I’m not forcing you to stay here with me.

If you don’t want me to follow you, I’ll leave once you’re a bit better.

I won’t disturb you again.”

She sounded a bit aggrieved when she said this, but to not make Lu Chuan feel uncomfortable, she could only put it that way.

Lu Chuan responded with a bitter smile, “My injuries…might not heal.”

Gu Hongzhuang was taken aback and quickly asked, “Why?”

Lu Chuan explained, “I just checked my body and found that my Dantian is shattered.

I can no longer summon any strength and have no chance of healing myself.”

“Moreover, my body can’t take much more.

With my Dantian broken, I probably won’t last much longer.”

“Sister Hong, I might…

not have many days left to live.”
