——The fanbase was bubbling.
MavisShow: Wow!~ Ruan-sama is here ah ah ah ah!
Spinningwindmill: Tossing flowers ~~(≧▽≦)/~ You are finally online!
Sleep: Welcome back, Ruan-sama!
BigPinkPeach: Welcome Ruan-sama +1
Colorofthesky: Welcome Ruan-sama +2
Oldheartdifferentbone: Welcome Ruan-sama +3
FirstMeetingBetray: @DameGoldFish, there’s nothing worth yearning for in this life. I desperately need a cure.
Oldheartdifferentbone: Upstairs, have 30 seconds gone so quickly?
FirstMeetingBetray: (⊙o⊙)???
Colorofthesky: Great-sama’s friends are sick?
BigPinkPeach: A guy or a girl?
Spinningwindmill: A guy! I am willing to bet two goldfish!
MavisShow: I am following above, adding three goldfish to the bet.
CloudSwimmingInFishes: Four goldfish.
…
Gu Anbao bit her lips before replying——
Ruan Ruan: We are just ordinary friends.
Spinningwindmill: Told you! I knew it was a guy!
FirstMeetingBetray: Upstairs sure is a like a god.
Ruan Ruan: …
Colorofthesky: Has he taken fever medicine?
BigPinkPeach: Great-sama has a boyfriend???
Gu Anbao ceased her typing for a moment.
Was he a boyfriend?…
Of course, not. They just… knew each other.
Ugh… That wasn’t right either. The two of them… couldn’t even be considered as knowing one another…
Just by spacing out for such a short moment, the group chat had exploded. There was a flood of messages requesting for real-life pictures as conclusive proof as if they believed firmly that DameGoldFish-sama had a boyfriend…
Gu Anbao couldn’t be bothered with refuting everyone. She hurriedly typed on the keyboard——
Ruan Ruan: He just took the medicine and is now asleep. What do I need to do next?
Spinningwindmill: He should be hungry when he is awake.
Colorofthesky: He can eat some ginger noodles. If he is suffering from a cold due to the chilly weather, the effects of the noodles will be extremely good. Add some pepper. More soup, less noodles. Just have a bowl and let him sweat it out. He will be fine the next day!
Colorofthesky: If you are afraid that it won’t be effective, you can add more ginger!
MavisShow: I ate that before! My mom would make this for me whenever I had a cold when I was young!
Spinningwindmill: You are making me hungry. I haven’t had breakfast.
Sleep: Ginger noodles? I’ve never heard of that before. Shouldn’t you remove his clothes and wipe his body to reduce his temperature?
BigPinkPeach: Upstairs, remove clothes +1
Spinningwindmill: Upstairs, remove clothes +2
FirstMeetingBetray: Upstairs, remove clothes +3
Oldheartdifferentbone: Upstairs, remove clothes +4
Colorofthesky: Great-sama, remove his clothes…
Gu Anbao’s face gradually turned red as she stared at the screen…
Removing clothes, whatnot… She should just ignore that for now. Ginger noodles… Would it work?… He fell asleep without eating any breakfast. He would definitely be hungry when he woke up later. Should she… give it a shot?
But…
As a veteran in being sick, her cooking skills… were basically zero.
Perhaps she should forget about it… She had never even cooked instant noodles before. How could she make ginger noodles? Moreover, if she burnt down the kitchen, she might get into trouble…
… But…
What should she do if he was hungry?
He would definitely be hungry.
Still at a loss, she walked into the kitchen. She first found some noodles in the cabinet, and then some ginger in the fridge… Gu Anbao returned to the study room and began to look on the Internet for the recipe to cook ginger noodles.
…
Due to the effects of the medicine, Chen Yuheng broke out into a sweat, drenching the pillow and the thin blanket covering his body. It made him feel very uncomfortable.
His head still hurt and he was still dizzy and feeble. However, he was feeling better than when he had woken up earlier… His temperature should have gone down a little.
He could hear fragmented noises coming from the other side of the door. He didn’t know what the robot was busying herself with outside.
But Chen Yuheng didn’t care about this.
“Ruan Ruan,” he shouted, his voice still sounding a little hoarse.
Gu Anbao came in quickly. She seemed happy to see that he was awake. Her eyes crinkled and bent at the corners. “You are awake!”
Chen Yuheng was momentarily distracted by her smiling face.
… Even though he knew that this was the design of the computer program, Chen Yuheng couldn’t help but admit that seeing a smile that was so full of vitality when he was sick, placed him in a delightful mood. It put him more at ease than to see a stiff and rigid face.
He suddenly thought about how the Old Master would definitely like her.
“Are you hungry?” A bashful smile hung on Gu Anbao’s lips.
Hungry?… He was a little hungry. However, he wasn’t in dire need to eat something…
Chen Yuheng supported himself with his arms as he sat up. “Fetch me a basin of hot water. The basin and towel are in the washroom.”
You have not said if you are hungry or not. Gu Anbao thought.
But she still obediently went to bring him the hot water.
Gu Anbao carried half a basin of hot water back to the room, only to see Chen Yuheng sitting on the bed and removing his clothes…
“!!!”
Come over.”
Gu Anbao lowered her head, walking over one small step at a time with the basin of water… Her face was basically touching her F-cup bosom… She didn’t dare to raise her head to look at him.
“… I don’t want to pull off clothes…” She mumbled softly.
Chen Yuheng heard her voice but couldn’t catch what she said. He took it as she was just at loggerheads with herself… After all, this was not the first time.
He removed his wet shirt, unbuckled his leather belt, and took off his pants, leaving himself only in his underwear. He turned around, realizing that the robot’s entire body was shivering slightly… The trembling of the water in the basin was even more obvious.
“If you can’t hold onto it any longer, put it down.” He thought that she was shaking because she had been holding the basin for too long…
Gu Anbao bit her lip and kept her head down resolutely, not saying a single word.
Chen Yuheng continued to teach her. “First, wet the towel. Then, help wipe me down.”
“…”
Seeing that she wasn’t making a single movement, Chen Yuheng felt that his lifetime’s worth of patience was going to be drained on the robot before him…
This was really… too grinding…
“I broke out into a sweat, and it’s very uncomfortable. If you don’t wipe it dry quickly, the symptoms of my cold will worsen…”
Ah?… Would his cold worsen?
Gu Anbao raised her head instantly and nervously looked at Chen Yuheng.
“I… I will help you wipe…” She stammered in reply, wringing the towel resignedly.
Chen Yuheng was stunned. He suddenly realized that… it seemed as if he might have grasped the knack to handling her.
The man laid on the bed. With the wet and warm towel wiping his body, removing the sticky sweat stains, he was feeling very comfortable.
She liked to dawdle and her reaction was slow. She would sometimes just be lost in thought as well… However, when she was serious about doing something, she would be abnormally serious about it. She even wiped the gaps between his fingers twice.
Chen Yuheng leaned against the bedhead and sized her up——her face was rosy and her expression was serious. She was clearly extremely shy, yet there was a lace of stubbornness and hidden indignance her eyes… This was fascinating… very interesting…
… She was already blushing with such simple body contact. If it went further…
When Gu Anbao reached his thigh, she wiped every single part to the best of her ability.
Very seriously, very carefully.
Her hand was suddenly grabbed by Chen Yuheng——
“You will cause a reaction.” Chen Yuheng looked at her with a smile that did not seem like a smile at the same time.
