Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xu Weilai was caught off-guard, her sight followed the long fair hand that was grabbing her wrist. Her eyes met his. Although Zuo An had just regained his consciousness, he was still confused and seemed to be still bugged by the nightmare he was having as there were still hints of fear and vulnerability in his eyes.
The way he looked now would have touched most women’s hearts to voluntarily provide him comfort.
“Big Boss, it’s okay now...You were just having nightmares, it wasn’t real.”
Zuo An stared at her for a while. As his consciousness returned to him slowly, his eyes became focused and Xu Weilai’s reflection appeared gradually in his eyes.
“Weilai?” His voice was very soft but slightly raspy and hoarse.
“Yes, it’s me.” Xu Weilai nodded. “Big Boss, how are you feeling now? Do you feel better?”
Zuo An did not react to her question, as if he hadn’t completely regained his senses. He just stared at her, still disoriented.
Xu Weilai was a little worried that his head might still be muddled from the high fever he was having. She wanted to check for his temperature, but when she raised her hand to reach for his forehead, she felt the grip on her wrist strengthened.
Perhaps it was Zuo An’s confusion that caused him to lost his awareness toward the strength he was exerting in his grip on Xu Weilai’s wrist, she let out a soft moan and grimaced, her brow furrowed.
Then only did he realized he was still holding on to her hand and was causing her pain. He instantly let go of her hand as he regained his grip towards the surrounding he was in. The familiar tone of gentleness and politeness of Zuo An returned, “I’m sorry.”
“It’s fine, it’s okay.”
Xu Weilai waved her hand as a gesture of indifference. “It’s fine now that you’ve wakened up. At least my effort wasn’t in vain. You’re now on an IV drip, so don’t make so much movement”.
Zuo An nodded lightly and place his hand on his side.
Xu Weilai revealed a hint of a smile in her eyes when she saw this. Did all men had two sides? Her Big Boss used to hold such a mysterious image as a boss, but privately he was extremely attached to his mother. He had shown such an obedient side of him when he was sick.
Or perhaps he continued to take her as his mother? In that case, she would have earned herself a son?
She giggled at the thought of it.
Zuo An looked up at her in slight confusion when he heard her giggle. “What’s wrong?”
Xu Weilai certainly could not share this thought of hers with him. She quickly shook her head and changed the topic, “Big Boss, I’ll get you a glass of water. You should get yourself hydrated. You can let me know if there’s anything you need. Qiao Chu went for a rest. I’m your little nurse for now.”
She turned around and walked towards the small bar counter as she said this. As there was only bottled water and a patient should be drinking warm water, she swiftly opened the lid of one bottle, poured it into the kettle, and put it to boil. When it was done, she mixed the boiling water with another bottle of water in a glass until it was warm. She walked back to Zuo An’s bedside with the glass of warm water.
Zuo An’s gaze followed her all this while. When she reached his bedside, she helped him into a sitting position and passed the glass to him. Then only he retracted his gaze. He took the glass of water from her and drank it in a gulp.
Xu Weilai took the glass from him and placed it on the bedside table and then said to him, “This drip will probably take a while. Do you want to continue sleeping? If you want to sleep, I’ll sit in the living room, I won’t disturb you.”
Zuo An did not answer her immediately. Instead, he asked, “You saved me?”
