Chapter 321: Want to Die of Heat?
After changing, Gu Tiantian noticed Bai Chenyao walking over, and she could no longer ignore him.
Although physically weak, she wasn’t at the point where she’d faint after taking a few steps.
Seeing that Bai Chenyao seemed ready to carry her again, Gu Tiantian quickly shook her head.
Her gaze fell on the dark red spot on his deep blue shirt sleeve, and her white and tender cheeks almost turned black with embarrassment.
"A Yao, I can walk by myself. But you... you..."
It took a while for Gu Tiantian to overcome the embarrassment and awkwardness in her heart to finish her sentence.
"But you now... do you need to deal with it first?"
Following her gaze, Bai Chenyao slightly lowered his head, his line of sight falling on his sleeve.
Noticing Bai Chenyao’s action, Gu Tiantian wished she could find a hole to crawl into out of awkwardness and embarrassment.
Seizing the moment he lowered his head, Gu Tiantian quickly slipped out, hugging the wall.
Outside, seeing the large bed already made up with fresh sheets and covers by the pretty maids, Gu Tiantian blushed and quickly walked over.
The pretty maids looked at her and smiled slightly.
It was definitely not a mocking or sarcastic smile, but rather one with a touch of respect.
"Miss Gu, do you need our help?"
The face Gu Tiantian had been trying hard to hold stern instantly cracked.
She quickly shook her head, leapt into bed at her life’s fastest speed, pulled the quilt over herself, and hid completely under the covers.
It seemed that only in this way could today’s embarrassment and awkwardness be slightly alleviated.
Truly...
Honestly, she had no idea how to deal with her embarrassment.
Taking a deep breath, covered by the quilt, as every minute and second passed, she began to sweat all over.
It was midsummer now, and although the air conditioning was on in the bedroom, being covered from head to toe was naturally very hot.
Before long, the sweat on her body increased.
Gu Tiantian thought that keeping herself covered like this wasn’t a solution either; she’d end up feeling like she’d been fished out of water.
Noticing that it was quiet outside, Gu Tiantian guessed that the pretty maids had left, and she gently pulled down the quilt, revealing a pair of black, misty grape-like eyes.
She checked around, and only after confirming no one was there did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Then she pulled the quilt down and took big gulps of air.
She even raised her hand to wipe her face, brushing off the sweat.
This sticky, wet feeling was truly uncomfortable.
Bai Chenyao, standing to the side, watched Gu Tiantian sneak out of the quilt like a groundhog, narrowing his dark, shadowy eyes.
When he saw Gu Tiantian’s black, misty grape-like eyes darting around, seemingly relieved at not spotting anyone, his thin lips pressed into a line.
When Gu Tiantian noticed him standing by the bed, the disbelief and a hint of panic and embarrassment in her black grape-like eyes were met with Bai Chenyao’s unmasked coldness.
Seeing Gu Tiantian, like a frightened groundhog, quickly avoid his gaze, then try to pull the quilt back over her head, Bai Chenyao took two quick steps to the bedside, looking down at her.
"Do you want to die from the heat?"
His cold, emotionless voice, along with his dark, shadowy eyes filled with unabashed coldness, made Gu Tiantian shiver all over.
She shook her head instinctively, absolutely not wanting to die from the heat while she was alive and well.
Her brain raced, and although Gu Tiantian found it unbelievable, she realized that Bai Chenyao was displeased with her behavior of hiding under the quilt.
