Chapter 1037 - 1040: She Is His Last Sanctuary 4
Chenxing immediately stood up upon hearing this: "Ah? Hey, wait a second, Hua Hua, just sleep in a guest room."
"The garbage bed in the guest room isn’t fit for my delicate body. Your bedroom’s bed is the only one comfortable enough to sleep on."
"But..."
"But what? Chenxing, can’t you just stop being so stingy?"
Chenxing pursed her lips, starting to speak but then stopping. She wondered, doesn’t Hua Hua know that Shaocheng doesn’t allow others into the bedroom? But the other person was Hua Hua, and she felt it wasn’t right to stop her. "Then sleep in the side bedroom, but don’t sleep on our bed."
Thinking about the bed where she and Shaocheng often rolled in the sheets being slept in by someone else was enough to make her face burn with embarrassment. It wasn’t that she was a clean freak, but it truly felt so awkward.
Hua Hua waved her hand impatiently: "Got it, you stingy ghost!"
Hua Hua pushed open the door to the long-unvisited bedroom but didn’t go to the side bedroom. Instead, she rummaged through the master bedroom. After a thorough search that left things in disarray, she found no medicine. Standing in the center of the bedroom with one hand in her pocket, she thought to herself that Qianqian must have been imagining things. If Young Master Gu were sick, wouldn’t there be medicine in the bedroom?
A weight lifted from her heart, and she let out a long sigh of relief.
Pushing open the side bedroom door, her hands, familiar with the space, found the pendant light switch. The decor of the side bedroom was no longer as she remembered; pink as it is now, it had turned into a princess room.
Boring...
Even the bed was not the one she used to sleep in. She couldn’t be bothered to touch it and simply walked over to the adjacent sofa. Her tall, slender body curled up on it, she pulled a cushion under her head and casually took out her phone to play with.
Before she knew it, she had fallen asleep.
She was jolted awake by a loud noise coming from the bathroom. Startled, she sprang up and rushed to the bathroom.
Inside the bathroom, Gu Shaocheng sat on the floor, gripping an iron basin next to him and slamming it down hard on the ground. It bounced several times before finally coming to rest at Hua Hua’s feet.
"Bro, what happened?"
"Why are you here?"
Hua Hua quickly stepped over the basin and went up to him, extending his hand to help Gu Shaocheng up: "I got a bit sleepy, lay down in the side bedroom for a bit. Hearing some noise over here, I came to check. Why are you sitting on the floor?"
Gu Shaocheng’s complexion was awful, and he didn’t answer his question.
It seemed as if he had encountered something, acting as if he was angry with himself. Despite his good intentions, Gu Shaocheng didn’t appreciate the help and just kept sitting there, refusing to get up.
Hua Hua, puzzled, squatted down, "Bro? Who upset you?"
"Nothing! Get out, I need to relieve myself."
Hua Hua’s expression conveyed his confusion: "You relieve yourself while sitting? When did you develop such a habit?"
Gu Shaocheng was in a foul mood: "I told you to get out!"
"Let me help you up first."
But no sooner had he finished speaking than he heard Gu Shaocheng growl, "Do I look like an old man? Can’t I get up on my own, needing your help? I just like to relieve myself sitting down, now get out!"
Hua Hua: "......"
Why is he in such a foul mood? I didn’t even provoke him.
Hua Hua didn’t dare to complain, with confusion and a sense of grievance in his eyes, he slowly walked out, and from behind him, Gu Shaocheng said, "Close the door!"
Hua Hua closed the door, leaned against the wall with one hand in his pocket, his head slightly drooped. If it were any other day, he would have slipped away at the first sign of his brother’s temper, to avoid getting caught in the crossfire. However, today he just stood there, leaning against the wall."
