Chapter 128 The Light of His Dark Tunnel

Yan Xi helped Gu Shen wipe the sweat off his forehead. He gasped for breath, looking like he was trying his best to suppress the pain.

“Gu Shen.” Yan Xi asked in a low voice, “Does it hurt a lot?”

It hurt.

Gu Shen remembered that there were people who classified pain into different levels. He was not sure what level he was at now, but it was definitely an unbearable pain that could make people collapse instantly.

“I’m fine.” His voice was very soft, not wanting Yan Xi to worry.

“I know it hurts.” Yan Xi wiped the sweat on his forehead and hugged him gently.

“Hugging you might help reduce some pain.”

Gu Shen was stunned for a moment by the unexpected hug. His hand moved slightly, not knowing where to land.

He couldn’t tell if it was because of comfort or psychological effects, but Gu Shen really felt that the pain was easing.

He reached out and patted Yan Xi’s shoulder. “Okay, get up first. I’m covered in sweat.”

“No.” Yan Xi hugged him tighter, but she didn’t exert much strength, afraid that it would hurt Gu Shen.

“Alright.” Gu Shen said softly, “Let me get changed first. We can hug when I come back.”

The doctors and nurses beside them were looking at them with a kind smile on their faces. Yan Xi suddenly blushed and let go of Gu Shen clumsily. “Alright then.”

The nurses brought Gu Shen to change into a set of clean clothes. After a while, they came out of the room.

Yan Xi walked over and helped the nurse push Gu Shen’s wheelchair.

Now, there was a refreshing smell on him and his aura was not as fierce as before. However, he seemed a little tired and his face was still pale.

Gu Shen was only 26 years old. He was not old, but he had suffered too much.

“Yan Xi,” Gu Shen said, interrupting Yan Xi’s thoughts. “I’m going to train here until six. You can go home first.” “I’m not going back.” Yan Xi shook her head. “I’ll stay here and keep you company.”

Gu Shen lowered his eyes. “Dinner here doesn’t taste good. You might not be used to

it.”

“I don’t care.” Yan Xi puffed up her cheeks. “Anyway, I’m going to stay here with you.”

Gu Shen was right. The dinner here was indeed not good. In order to preserve the nutrients in the food, the foods here were all boiled in the same way and there was almost no oil or salt. Yan Xi ate slowly and put all the prawns and beef in Gu Shen’s bowl.

“I can’t eat so much,” said Gu Shen, looking at Yan Xi.

“I’ll get Xiaolan to make chicken soup for you when we get back tonight.”

“Just chicken soup? That’s not enough!” Yan Xi pouted to express her objection.

“Then what else do you want?”

“Get me a cup of milk tea!” Yan Xi’s eyes lit up. “I want a big cup with a lot of yam in it, preferably with cream.”

Gu Shen refused. “No.”

“Ah, why are you so strict? You promised me just now. I haven’t drunk milk tea for a long time. The other day, I just bought two cups and Gu An knocked them over.”

Gu Shen snorted. “You two sure are getting close.”

“You don’t understand the friendship between girls, so are you going to buy me milk tea or not?”

Gu Shen compromised. “Okay.”

Yan Xi smiled, instantly brightening up the darkening night.

In the past, Gu Shen had always been alone and spent most of his time with the doctors and nurses here.

Every half a month, he would have to endure a long period of pain here, but now Yan Xi was here. Not only was she here, but she was also in his life.

She became his light that lit up the endless dark tunnel.

Yan Xi sat opposite him and was trying to open a nutrient solution with her teeth.

“Don’t bite it.” Gu Shen reached out his hand. “I’ll help you open it.”

He took the nutrient solution and placed it upside down.

“Open it from here.”

“I know.” Yan Xi said matter-of-factly. “I just want to see if I can open it on the other side. Looks like I can’t.”

“You’re being silly again.” Gu Shen chuckled.

Yan Xi poured a mouthful of the nutrient solution into her mouth and almost vomited. She frowned and looked at Gu Shen tearfully.

“This is concentrated. It needs to be diluted with water,” Gu Shen quickly explained, but his eyes were smiling.

Why was she so stupid?
