Chapter 196 You can’t always treat me as your brother
Gu Miao's ears felt hot.
Gently roll out of his arms and back onto the bed.
This time, He Zhihuai did not stop her, but helped her smooth the quilt and then dimmed the lights in the room.
After doing this, he stood up.
Sensing the movement behind her, Gu Miao quickly turned around, "Second brother?"
"I'm here." Even if he was looking for something with his back to her, as soon as he heard her voice, he would immediately stop what he was doing and turn around to look over while responding.
The quilt was pulled up, revealing only a pair of big, flashing eyes.
Their eyes met, and it took a while before Gu Miao said, "Are you leaving?"
Hearing this, He Zhihuai raised his lips and smiled softly, "No. I'm looking for medicine for you. I brought a medicine box with me. Wait for me."
"Ang..."
After feeding her the medicine, He Zhihuai looked around.
Seeing this, Gu Miao asked again:
"Are you leaving now?"
He Zhihuai immediately couldn't laugh or cry, "If you don't leave, my second brother won't go anywhere tonight. I will stay here with you."
"Are you hungry?"
"A little bit."
He Zhihuai nodded, "I'll ask someone to bring some food."
"Then can you make a phone call? Just... don't go out."
"Okay." He Zhihuai agreed with a smile, dialed the housekeeper's number, and turned to ask her what she wanted to eat.
Blinking, Gu Miao reported yesterday's menu again, "Basque seafood soup, pan-fried salmon, French pastry meat pie, cheese soufflé, sweet orange grilled chicken, ham and lettuce salad."
He Zhihuai relayed it smoothly, and after a pause, he considered it for a few seconds and discussed with her: "Can the seafood soup be replaced with cream of mushroom soup? And salmon, can it be replaced?"
"No."
He Zhihuai smiled helplessly, "Then we can only eat a little."
She responded obediently, "Okay."
Putting down the phone, Gu Miao asked him: "Second brother, do you have a good relationship with the housekeeper?"
"Yeah." He Zhihuai took the time to reply to the work message, "So grandpa won't know that I'm here, so you don't have to worry."
Gu Miao blinked, feeling like he knew everything.
After a while, he put down his cell phone and turned around subconsciously. This time, before she could ask, he remembered something, turned back to look at her, and proactively reported: "I'm going to the bathroom."
Gu Miao nodded.
The phone beside her pillow vibrated, and she picked it up to check the message.
It's Xiao Li.
[Ms. Gu, I just saw Dr. He. 】
[Yeah, I understand. 】
[Miss Gu, what do you want to eat? Mr. Yue may have to come back very late after working overtime. 】
[No, I'm not hungry. I'll go to bed later, so don't bother. 】
Xiao Li; [Okay. 】
Putting down her phone, Gu Miao sighed.
It is better to count on Yuesong than on herself.
Really unreliable.
A few minutes later, He Zhihuai came out of the bathroom, holding two neatly stacked towels in his hands.
Gu Miao immediately put down her phone and looked at him.
The man returned to the bed and sat down, unfolded a corner of one of the towels, and said, "Wipe your sweat."
Gu Miao lay down and did not refuse.
The long hair on the temples was hooked behind the ears, and the broken hair on the forehead was carefully and gently combed to one side.
The towel feels warm to the touch and slightly moist. The man moved gently and wiped her cheek.
Then comes the neck and collarbone.
Pause.
After thinking for a while, he asked: "Do you need a change of pajamas?"
Gu Miao was stunned.
She was a little sticky and sweaty, and her pajamas were a little damp.
Seeing that she really needed it, He Zhihuai asked thoughtfully: "Which set do you want to change to? I'll get it for you."
"Well, I'll go by myself." She sat up on the bed.
But he moved faster and stood up.
“If I don’t have a style I like, can I just pick one up?”
"...Everything is fine."
"About where is it?" "Um, in the first and second drawers on the right."
"Okay."
Pajamas are actually not the key, both of them knew it.
He wasn't asking about pajamas, and neither was what she answered.
It's not just pajamas that are wet, the next-fitting set of clothing is the hardest hit area.
cloakroom.
He Zhihuai stepped over the threshold, and the sensor lights on both sides lit up. He walked to one side and turned on the chandelier above his head with ease.
The He family prepared two rows of pajamas for her, with all types of pajamas.
He Zhihuai lowered his eyebrows and simply picked a nightgown that was more convenient for her.
Turning his head, he looked at the drawer on one side.
The drawer opens.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Girls' lingerie is neatly displayed.
With just a cursory glance, He Zhihuai discovered that these styles were even more complicated than pajamas.
The colors alone are dazzling.
He could barely make a choice on the style of pajamas.
Underwear...he really didn't understand.
Finally, I just took the outermost piece.
The drawer closed softly.
Accompanied by a vague sigh.
He carefully folded his underwear in half and stuffed it into the nightgown hanging on his arms.
Then open the second drawer.
hiss.
In the huge cloakroom, the sound of a man breathing in was particularly obvious.
Still the same, he closed his eyes and grabbed something casually.
Different from the feel of underwear, this piece of fabric was so thin and soft that he even wondered if the manufacturer was cutting corners because it was... smaller than his tie.
Taking a deep breath, He Zhihuai put his underwear into his nightgown.
When it comes to anxiety, Gu Miao outside the room is almost as good as rising to heaven.
She waited and waited but no one came out. Her cheeks were getting hotter and hotter, almost to the point of being cooked.
Hearing the footsteps, Gu Miao quickly sat upright and pretended as if nothing happened.
Looking at He Zhihuai again, he seemed to be very calm.
Yes.
The brother is just helping his sister get clothes, there is nothing to be embarrassed about.
Her eyes followed the man's figure, and through the light and shadow, Gu Miao still saw the pink nightgown hanging on his arm.
But that's not the point.
The point is...
What about that suit of clothes inside?
The man stopped by the bed.
Gu Miao watched him put the folded nightgown on the bed, "You change on the bed, I'll go out."
"Here are the towels...the underwear is in them."
"I'm going outside."
"No, no need."
Gu Miao stopped him and pointed in a direction, "How about, second brother, go sit over there."
Looking in the direction of her finger, it was a single sofa not far across from the bed, with its back to the bed.
His eyes darkened, "I'd better go out."
There are differences between men and women. She treats him as a brother and doesn't care about such things, but he can't.
It’s okay to get some clothes, but changing clothes...
"It's okay. I'm under the quilt, just turn around."
"..."
After a long time, the man standing by the bed finally sighed and looked at her helplessly.
"Miaomiao, you can't always regard me as your brother."
Gu Miao blinked, seeming to be thinking about something.
"Brother too..."
Her eyes were too clean. Being looked at by her like this, He Zhihuai looked away with a guilty conscience, "Forget it, you change clothes first. I'll go to the bathroom and get you another towel..."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone grabbed the sleeve of his shirt.
"Actually, I don't completely regard you as my brother..."
