Chapter 188: Remove My Glasses
Just as Gu Er put down his phone, he saw Yan Xi running into the study in her pajamas.
The door of the study was not closed. Through the gap, Gu Er saw the two of them hugging each other tightly. Yan Xi was leaning in Gu Shen’s arms. Her face was very pale, and there were a few tears on her eyelashes.
“Gu Shen, I had a nightmare.”
Gu Er moved slightly and wanted to take a few more glances when Gu Shen shot him a fierce look.
“Close the door.”
Yan Xi looked aggrieved. “Oh, I forgot.”
“No, I’m not talking to you.” Gu Shen pulled her back into his arms. He rubbed Yan Xi’s hair and asked gently, “What’s wrong? What nightmare?”
This dream was too scary for Yan Xi. She dreamed that she was trapped in darkness.
There was silence, but a voice kept echoing, telling her that she should go back, and that she didn’t belong in this world.
This dream was too real. It was as if she was really going to be taken away from Gu Shen in the next second. Yan Xi could not do anything other than shouting, “That’s not true. I belong here!”
She didn’t know how many times she shouted, but when Yan Xi was about to break down, she woke up. It was already night, and her surroundings were as dark as in her dream.
She did not dare to stay in the room alone, so she ran towards Gu Shen’s study.
Fortunately, Gu Shen was still there and she was still by his side.
Gu Shen lowered his eyes and saw that Yan Xi was silent, but there was sweat on her forehead. He frowned and patted Yan Xi’s back gently.
“I’m here. Don’t be afraid.”
“Yes,” Yan Xi replied softly. When she calmed down a little, she said to him, “I dreamed that someone wanted to separate us. When I woke up, I didn’t see you, so I was a little afraid and ran over.”
After saying that, she bit her lip and looked up at Gu Shen obediently.
‘I’m not disturbing you, am I?’
“No, you will never disturb me.” Gu Shen raised his hand and touched Yan Xi’s forehead. “Don’t be afraid. This is just a dream. I will always be by your side. We will never be separated.”
Yan Xi hugged Gu Shen’s waist tightly. “I don’t want to leave you.”
“No one is going to separate us. I promise.”
Yan Xi finally calmed down. It was just a dream. She was just scaring herself.
“I won’t leave you either. I won’t be able to live without you, Gu Shen.” Yan Xi’s soft voice was attractive, and every word touched Gu Shen’s heart.
He hugged Yan Xi and kissed her between her eyebrows.
“You are just scaring yourself.”
Yan Xi lay in his arms. After a while, she realized that Gu Shen was still wearing glasses.
The glasses covered his sharp eyes, making him look like a scholar. Coupled with the loosened tie, he looked like a French gentleman.
The more Yan Xi looked at him, the harder it was for her to take her eyes off of him. Gu Shen noticed her gaze and raised his eyebrows.
“Help me take off my glasses.” The voice was husky and irresistible.
Yan Xi obediently did as she was told and carefully took off Gu Shen’s glasses. Just as she was about to find a place to put them away, Gu Shen tilted his face and kissed her lips.
Yan Xi’s eyes widened and her heart jumped rapidly. She was wild with surprise and excitement.
Even if everything was just a dream now, she was still happy. She was willing to sink into the dream and never wake up.
But soon, Yan Xi heard Gu Shen gasp.
She asked nervously, “What’s wrong?”
“My leg hurts.” The pain was getting worse, making Gu Shen frown.
Yan Xi quickly got off him. She guessed that it was because Gu Shen had been injected with growth drugs during the day that he felt pain.
She rubbed his leg and asked, “Does it still hurt?”
“Much better now.”
“That’s good.” Yan Xi heaved a sigh of relief. Since she still couldn’t reveal her identity, Yan Xi asked, “Do you want me to call Doctor Zhou and ask for his opinion?”
Gu Shen stopped her. “No need. It’s already very late. Doctor Zhou must be sleeping at this moment.” No man would want his wife to talk to another man in the middle of the night.
Yan Xi thought he really meant it. She held her face and looked at Gu Shen in admiration.
“That’s very kind of you to be considerate of others.”
Gu Shen touched his nose and said a little awkwardly. “I’m always a considerate person.”
