Chapter 387 - 387: Caregiving

“He Ming will take care of it. Don’t worry.” Gu Shaoting comforted her.

The IV drip was finally done and Gu Shaoting’s fever slowly subsided.

After they got home, Shu Pan realized that they needed groceries and went to the market to buy fresh ingredients to cook porridge for the man.

The living room was quiet as Gu Shaoting lay on the sofa with his head on a cushion and his eyes closed.

Shu Pan thought that he was feeling sick again and gently placed her hand on his forehead. She was already very gentle, but she still roused the man.

He opened his bloodshot eyes and looked at her pitifully.

“You’ll be fine.” Her delicate palm was pressed against his forehead. His fever had subsided but he was still unwell and looked very weak.

“What do you want to eat for lunch?” Shu Pan asked. “Anything.” The man gave a one-word answer.

“Shall I cook porridge?”

“Sure.”

“Then rest for a while. I’ll wake you when I’m done.” Shu Pan went into the kitchen after saying that.

Gu Shaoting closed his eyes again. He really needed to catch up on sleep. Because of his illness and the medicine he had taken, he felt drowsy.

Shu Pan was busy in the kitchen. She tried her best to work quietly so as not to disturb him.

After more than an hour, she made a pot of plain porridge and three light dishes. She saw that Gu Shaoting was still sleeping and contemplated if she should wake him.

She walked up to him and bent over to check on him. He was usually a majestic person, but he looked like a child when asleep.

This man was really handsome. His facial features were well-defined, and the contours of his face smooth.

Shu Pan took advantage of his sleep and looked at him without restraint. Suddenly, the man opened his dark and bright eyes and stared at her.

Shu Pan was startled because she was not mentally prepared.

The man knew that Shu Pan was sizing him up and asked smugly, “Am I handsome or what?”

His narcissistic behavior was really annoying. It seemed that he got his strength back after a nap.

Shu Pan’s face was pink. “Lunch is ready.”

Shu Pan was about to walk away when the man stretched out his long arm and pulled her hard. Shu Pan lost her balance and fell into his arms.

Shu Pan struggled to get up, but the man hugged her even tighter.

“Stop fooling around. Hurry up and eat. The food is getting cold.” Shu Pan said helplessly.

“No.” The man said like a child. Although he was sick, there was still a huge difference in strength between men and women. No matter how Shu Pan struggled, she could not break free.

In the end, Shu Pan was a little out of breath. She gently punched his chest. “What do you want?”

The man smiled and said matter-of-factly, “Nothing. I just wanted to hug you.”

Shu Pan glared at him and saw that his arm was exposed. She put her hand on his arm and threatened, “If you don’t let go, I’m going to pinch you.”

Because of her close proximity, Gu Shaoting’s breathing got a little erratic. He also felt a certain part of his body swell.

Gu Shaoting knew how difficult it was to get rid of his desire. It was the most uncomrortaD1e tmng ror a man, so ne didn’t clare to continue.

He let go of her and held her hand as they walked towards the dining room.

“Let’s eat.” Gu Shaoting’s voice was unusually hoarse.

Gu Shaoting secretly laughed at himself. He had brought this upon himself. He had already tested his reaction to Shu Pan so many times, yet he still challenged his weak self-control.

Shu Pan scooped him a bowl of porridge and the two of them lowered their heads to eat..
