Chapter 66 She's Not Losing At All
"Well..." When she saw him coming, she coughed twice in embarrassment, took the bowl, drew circles in the bowl with a spoon, lowered her head and said, "Thank you for taking care of me this morning, this brown sugar water..."
"Mom said you can't touch cold water...you should drink more brown sugar water to warm yourself up."
He kept his eyes fixed on the bowl in her hand, and spoke in a slightly lower voice than usual: "You were still a little feverish this morning, probably because you caught a cold yesterday."
"Ok, I know."
The more she listened to him, the more embarrassed she felt. She looked up and looked into his eyes with some embarrassment and said, "Thank you."
"Thanks."
He also looked into her eyes at the same time and said.
After the two people finished saying this in unison, the atmosphere was stagnant at first, and then they both curled up into a smile.
"I thank you, thank you for taking care of me in the morning and preparing brown sugar water for me."
During the days when she came to Gu's house, she also saw Mrs. Yin and Mrs. Chen having their menstruation, but she never saw them drinking brown sugar water.
There was a trace of emotion in her heart, and when she saw his handsome face, she no longer disliked him as before.
"You saved me, these are what I should do for you."
Gu Jingcheng didn't take this matter to heart, he was still a little worried about her physical condition.
His mother said that it is normal for women to have menstruation every month and there is no need to take it to heart.
Although some women may have a more difficult time during menstruation due to their weak bodies, it does not matter.
He believed her at first, but looking at her still white face, he hesitated again.
"If you still feel unwell, I will go to the city to hire a doctor for you tomorrow..."
He calculated the money he had and realized that he couldn't buy anything else for her. It was more than enough to hire a doctor.
"No need, I feel a lot better now. According to my past experience, it should be nothing after this day. You should keep your money to buy books and study hard."
She thanked him for his kindness, but she really didn't dare to accept it.
For women in ancient times, diseases that they usually suffered were not called diseases, but hidden diseases.
In this life, except for pregnancy and childbirth, there will probably be no chance to see a doctor.
"good."
Gu Jingcheng saw that she didn't sound like she was joking. Although she was still weak, her spirits were indeed much better than in the morning.
He didn't say much about asking for a doctor.
The atmosphere gradually became awkward again. The two people sat together and looked at each other, speechless again.
Su Xiaomu really didn't know what to say to him.
Talk about her body again?
That would be too embarrassing. In ancient times, when men and women got along, this kind of topic was somewhat ahead of its time.
But if she was talking about poetry and books with him, Su Xiaomu didn't think that her character could express those elegant words.
Just as she lowered her head and racked her brain to search for topics, Gu Jingcheng suddenly stood up and said to her.
"I'm going to chop wood. If you feel uncomfortable later, just call me. I'll be outside the house."
He went out to work.
The firewood he had to cut was actually not very much. Even though it was summer, his father and brother went to the mountains to chop firewood during the slack time. However, they were diligent and worried about his work, so there was only a handful left for him to chop each time.
And he also likes farm work very much. Working and studying bring different feelings to people.
Reading is to teach him to be polite, know how to advance and retreat, and strive for the future.
Doing farm work allows him to always remember his origins and the sacrifices his family has made for him.
What Su Xiaomu said was wrong, he was not a cold-hearted person, nor was he a white-eyed wolf who only knew how to suck the blood of his own family.
He has always supported his family in his own way.
She didn't understand him, and he had never thought of having a heart-to-heart relationship with her. He felt that there was really no fate between the two of them as she said.
But for some reason, all he could think about now was the way she saved him yesterday.
Although her face and body were stained, her eyes were exceptionally bright and determined.
She looked at him and kept looking at him. At that moment, he seemed to feel his heart beating hard.
Not the usual beating just to survive, but a feeling that he had never felt before.
Probably because he was thinking about other things in his mind, he couldn't control the strength of the ax in his hand, and he accidentally tore his clothes.
At this moment, he had no intention of continuing to chop wood.
Back at the house, Gu Jingcheng planned to change his clothes.
Seeing that Su Xiaomu was not asleep yet, he stood sideways beside her bed and said softly: "I want to change clothes, you have to close your eyes."
"Ah good."
She was stunned for a moment, saw the line exposed on the edge of his clothes, and understood instantly.
Tsk, she pulled the curtain across to separate the two of them.
She moved so quickly that he didn't react for a while.
Looking at the curtain, he raised his eyebrows slightly.
Su Xiaomu didn't close her eyes. She quietly closed the curtain and watched Gu Jingcheng change clothes.
Apart from anything else, Gu Jingcheng has a really good figure.
Look at his straight figure, handsome face, broad shoulders, high chest, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk out out out out out out of graceful muscle lines, it really makes people unable to take their eyes away.
And the abdominal muscles are really amazing.
Why didn't she notice that she was such a weak scholar?
It is true that people cannot be judged by appearance, and sea water cannot be measured by measurement.
She couldn't help but curse in her heart, but after Gu Jingcheng changed her clothes, she honestly looked away and moved her eyes to her quilt.
After Gu Jingcheng changed his clothes, he didn't rush to open the curtain. He sat on his bed, took out his sewing kit and started mending clothes.
"Can you sew?"
Su Xiaomu opened the curtain and looked at his skillful skills, and was very surprised: "I thought you didn't have your index finger wet with spring water, and you didn't do anything in the academy except study-related things."
"It's just some small things. If you can do it yourself, why bother others."
He paused after saying this, "Besides, it's not easy for me to come back once. If I pack big and small bags every time, it will be in trouble for everyone."
In school, he not only sews clothes, but also does laundry.
Well, Su Xiaomu had to admit that he was convinced that Gu Jingcheng was indeed not a hedonistic person.
After thinking of this, she stuck her head out to see how he was sewing.
Looking at it, she felt that she had not seen enough of the world. Otherwise, how could she see that the clothes he mended had such ugly stitches?
It shouldn't be. If he really does everything as he said, how could he do it so poorly?
She couldn't help but ask him: "Your skills are indeed a bit ugly. You said that although it would be troublesome for you to bring back big and small bags, my sister-in-law and others would go and deliver things to you before, so it wouldn't take much effort.
"
"My mother's eyesight is bad. Besides, it's just a trivial matter. Why bother her with everything? It doesn't matter whether the stitching of the clothes is good or not, as long as it can be worn, I won't pick on these."
He lowered his head and cut the thread short, and then said: "The academy is a place for reading."
"Won't some people look down on you? Aren't you afraid that they will laugh at you when you wear these patched clothes?
