Chapter 86 He's capable; he's a normal man.
After a day of all that running around, the two of them were completely exhausted.
When Aunt Zhao left, she was carried out by two maids.
Chu Ruohan felt like all the bones in her body were about to fall apart. She lay on the bed like a lump of mud, muttering, "Yuling, give me a massage, I'm exhausted after this day."
Yu Ling responded and walked to the bedside, placing her hands on Chu Ruohan's calves and beginning to gently massage them.
Under Yu Ling's perfectly timed massage, Chu Ruohan gradually relaxed her tense nerves, and her eyelids grew heavier and heavier.
After an unknown amount of time, Chu Ruohan, half-asleep, casually said, "Yuling, a little harder, yes, right here, it feels so good."
However, she was met with a deep and familiar voice: "What, you're quite adept at ordering people around?"
Chu Ruohan jolted awake and turned her head to see Gu Junze looking at her with a half-smile, his hands still massaging her.
Chu Ruohan's eyes widened, and she stammered, "You... how did you get here? Where's Yuling?"
Gu Junze raised an eyebrow. "I asked her to boil some water. We'll soak in it later to relax."
She was so tired that she didn't even hear the sound of his wheelchair.
"Lie down properly, let me massage you again."
Gu Junze's voice carried an unquestionable tone, and his hands did not stop moving at all, continuing to apply just the right amount of force to Chu Ruohan's calf.
A blush rose on Chu Ruohan's face, her shyness spreading like the clouds in the sky, quickly reaching her ears.
She shifted slightly and murmured, "No, no need, I'm much better now."
Gu Junze tightened his grip slightly, "If you don't thoroughly relax your legs today, you'll be in so much pain tomorrow that you won't be able to run."
Chu Ruohan knew he was right, so she obediently lay down and stopped struggling.
Her heart was racing uncontrollably as she felt Gu Junze's hands moving over her legs, the warmth seeping through her skin and into her heart.
Until Yuling knocked on the door and came in, saying, "The hot water is ready."
Gu Junze then stopped what he was doing, looked at Chu Ruohan and said, "Go on, get some rest after you're done soaking."
As Chu Ruohan entered the bathroom, the door slowly closed, making a soft creaking sound, as if separating the inside from the outside into two worlds.
Gu Junze's gaze was fixed on the closed door. A moment later, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, like an icy light shimmering in the cold night, sending chills down one's spine.
Wei Qiming was recuperating in his mansion, which was surrounded by an impenetrable wall, leaving his men with no way to attack.
He refused to believe that Wei Qiming could stay holed up in his mansion forever.
He dared to hurt Chu Ruohan, so how could Gu Junze let him off so easily...
A moment later, he turned his wheelchair and called Yingqing in to help him rest...
Chu Ruohan immersed herself in the hot water. The warm water enveloped her tired body, and the fatigue of the day seemed to gradually dissipate with the rising steam. She did feel much more relaxed.
She walked gracefully towards the bed and saw Gu Junze lying quietly on the bed. The dim candlelight shone on his face, outlining the man's deep features.
He must be asleep.
Chu Ruohan also wanted to ask him how his medicinal bath went today.
After careful consideration of the prescription, Dr. Qian was now fully confident.
Dissolve the antidote in hot water, and let the rising steam seep into the skin. Repeat this process, and the toxins in his body should be gradually removed.
Gu Junze has been soaking for several days now...
Chu Ruohan approached quietly, gently lifted the brocade quilt, and lay down beside him, her movements gentle, as if afraid of disturbing his peace.
Before she could fully lie down, the man opened his eyes, reached out and pulled her into his arms. Her cheek pressed against his warm chest, and she could clearly hear his strong heartbeat.
The strong smell of medicine filled her nostrils, unlike the cold, acrid scent that the man used to have. Chu Ruohan frowned slightly.
Suddenly, without warning, Gu Junze slightly lifted her chin, his gaze locked on her eyes, and then he leaned down to kiss her.
Chu Ruohan's eyes widened instantly, then slowly closed again, her hands unconsciously gripping his clothes, lost in the tender yet domineering kiss.
The entire room seemed to be filled only with the sounds of their intertwined breaths and racing heartbeats.
After a long while, Gu Junze finally released her. Their eyes were locked together, and Chu Ruohan's cheeks were burning. She buried her head in Gu Junze's arms.
Since that Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, when Gu Junze kissed her for the first time after returning from the palace, he would hold her hand and be intimate with her every night afterward.
He's impotent, so why does he keep flirting with her...?
Chu Ruohan nestled in the man's arms, the fatigue of the day washing over her like a tide, and her upper and lower eyelids began to droop.
In Gu Junze's warm embrace and with his steady heartbeat, she slowly drifted off to sleep.
If Gu Junze knew what she was thinking, he would definitely grab the woman and show her with his actions that he could do it, that he really could.
Gu Junze suppressed his erection, looked down at the peaceful sleeping woman in his arms, a doting smile curving his lips. He gently brushed aside the stray hairs on her forehead and placed a soft kiss on her brow.
It's almost over. He's been taking medicinal baths these past few days, and he feels his breathing has become much easier.
Once he's cured of the poison, he won't have to endure it anymore, and he can become a real husband and wife with her.
Holding her to sleep every night is really exhausting...
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, the moon, still high in the sky, had not yet completely faded.
Chu Ruohan and Gu Junze were still immersed in their dreams, sleeping in each other's arms, their breathing even and soft.
Suddenly, the door was flung open, and Song Ruyan burst in, yelling, "Get up! It's time to exercise! Don't you know the saying 'The early bird catches the worm'?"
The sudden sound was like a thunderclap, instantly shattering the silence of the room. The two people on the bed were so frightened that they trembled violently, completely losing their sleepiness.
When Song Ruyan saw the scene before her, she was first stunned, then realized what was happening, and a mischievous smile appeared on her face. She pointed at them and said, "You two are sleeping, why are you hugging each other?"
Her voice was clear and loud, particularly jarring in the quiet morning.
Chu Ruohan and Gu Junze's faces instantly turned bright red, like ripe tomatoes.
Chu Ruohan was both embarrassed and annoyed. She hurriedly pulled the blanket over herself and Gu Junze, covering them up completely. She scolded, "Song Ruyan, how can you be so rude? You didn't even knock before coming in!"
Gu Junze frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes, but more so the embarrassment of being caught.
"go out."
Hearing the commotion inside, Yuling rushed over.
Seeing this, she understood what had happened and felt completely overwhelmed.
He hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Song Ruyan, saying with a forced smile, "Young Master, Young Madam, this servant will take her out right away."
As he spoke, he half-pushed and half-dragged Song Ruyan out of the room.
After the door closed again, Chu Ruohan let out a long sigh of relief, turned to look at Gu Junze, and the two looked at each other for a moment before awkwardly looking away, not knowing what to say.
An ambiguous and awkward atmosphere filled the room, lingering for a long time...
