The door of the west wing was pushed open, and Lao Tao looked into the room quietly.
Gu She lay on the bed, still unconscious. Tao Mo was lying beside the bed, already asleep.
He took the thin quilt on the bamboo couch, gently shook it off, and covered Tao Mo's body.
"Gu She!"
Tao Mo woke up suddenly, seeing that Gu She was still unconscious, he turned his head in disappointment: "Old Tao."
Lao Tao glanced at the bamboo couch that had been prepared: "Why don't young master go to sleep on the couch?"
"I'm afraid that Gu She will have a fever. Li Yuan said that he will take care of him carefully before waking up, for fear of having a fever."
Lao Tao glanced at Gu She: "What will the young master do in the future?"
"Wait for Gu She to wake up first. You have to watch him well before going to the capital."
Lao Tao nodded: "When Gu She wakes up, call me and Ms. Qiu. Ms. Qiu always feels that Gu She and you have been implicated because of her family's affairs, and she is very sorry."
Tao Mo nodded: "It's very late, you should go to bed too! It seems that Gu She won't wake up for a while."
Old Tao hesitated to speak, and left.
Tao Mo's sleepiness disappeared, he put the thin quilt back on the bamboo couch, sat back on the side of the bed and looked at Gu She.
Gu She's face turned pale, and he looked even more stern and arrogant.
He stretched out his hand, wanting to touch Gu She's face, but withdrew it again.
Look at the hourglass, it is around Yin time.
He sighed, and turned his gaze back to Gu She's face.
"Gu She, why are you so stupid
I'm just your friend, so you risk your life to save me? You have only one life yourself!
I am happy with you. do you know
You should know.
But even if you knew, I wouldn't say it.
I'll just keep guarding you like this! When you get married someday, I will return you to your wife and your children.
As long as you are good, I can do anything.
I'm not as fragile as you imagined. If you want to marry Yang Liuer, you can marry her. I'm fine. "
He couldn't continue, and raised his sleeves to wipe his face.
Under the steps, Lao Tao frowned and walked away.
Gu She didn't wake up until the next afternoon.
After he woke up, the first thing he saw was Tao Mo. Tao Mo held him in his arms and fed him the medicine spoon by spoon.
He frowned.
Tao Mo was so excited that he overturned the medicine bowl: "Gu She! Gu She!"
Gu She said: "Put down the bowl first."
Tao Mo let out an "oh", and quickly put the bowl on the small table beside the bed.
Gu She frowned again: "Put me down."
A trace of disappointment flashed across Tao Mo's face, but he immediately became happy again: "You're awake, that's great!"
Gu Xiaojia saw that Tao Mo was so excited that he couldn't speak a thousand words, so he interjected: "Li Yuan said that he can take care of it slowly when he wakes up, and if he doesn't wake up, he still has to worry about whether he will have a fever, this scares Master Tao to death! He took care of the young master day and night without taking off his clothes and sleepless nights! Thanks to Mr. Tao taking good care of him, the young master woke up safely."
Gu She looked at Tao Mo: "Are you taking care of me?"
Tao Mo said uncomfortably, "Well, I didn't take care of it well."
Gu She was silent for a moment, then said, "It's fine. Can you still take care of me?"
Tao Mo's eyes shone brightly: "Okay!"
Tao Mo suddenly thought of something: "By the way, old Miss Tao Qiu and the others are all concerned about you, especially Miss Qiu, who said that she is the one who implicated you, and they want to come and see you!"
Gu She said lightly: "Just tell them I'm awake. I'm tired and want to lie down for a while."
Tao Mo hurriedly said, "Then I'll wait for you to eat this bowl of medicine, and then I'll go out."
Gu She stared at him: "Why are you going out?"
Tao Mo was puzzled: "Didn't you want to rest?"
"Then who was with me in the room last night?"
"I."
"You have been with me all day and night, why are you going out now?"
Tao Mo suddenly said, "Then I'll stay with you here. You take the medicine first."
Gu She frowned and avoided: "Don't eat."
Tao Mo was stunned. When Gu She was asleep, he could pry open his teeth with a spoon to pour in the medicine; when Gu She woke up, taking the medicine became a problem.
Gu Xiaojia spoke to Tao Mo in a place where Gu She couldn't see, "I'm afraid of suffering."
Tao Mo hurriedly said: "I have prepared candied fruit, you can eat a few after taking the medicine, it won't be bitter."
Gu She reluctantly braced himself to get ready.
Tao Mo quickly went to help him, but this time he didn't dare to let him lean in his arms, but put a quilt and pillow behind him.
After Gu She finished taking the medicine, Gu Xiaojia said, "I'll go wash the dishes and tell them that the young master is awake."
Tao Mo saw that Gu She was noncommittal, so he nodded.
After Gu She finished eating the candied fruit, he laid Gu She flat again, and just after covering him with a quilt, Xie Xiancheng asked outside the door: "Is Master Tao there?"
Tao Mo went to the door and asked softly, "What's the matter?"
Xie Xiancheng said: "There are too many things that each house needs to ask for instructions, my lord, take a look..."
Tao Mo asked, "Is Master Jin here?"
"This—" Xie Xiancheng was embarrassed, "There are seriousness and seriousness, and I dare not rely on the master for everything in a humble position."
Tao Mo blushed: "You go first, I'll come right away."
Going back to the bedside, he said to Gu She: "I'll go to the study for a while, and I'll take what I can bring back to read."
Gu She nodded.
After Tao Mo left, Gu She gently moved his right arm, and immediately felt a sharp pain, so he had to put it down again.
Mu Chun asked outside the door: "Young Master Gu is awake? Can you come in?"
Gu She frowned: "No see."
Mu Chun smiled and said: "It's just a wound, and it didn't hurt the vitals, so it's so fragile?"
As he spoke, he pushed the door and still came in. It was only then that Gu She discovered that Mu Chun was not the only one who came, but also Lao Tao, Master Jin, An Ran, and even Yuan Aozec and Ji Wudi!
These people all entered the house, Lao Tao was the last, and gently closed the door.
Gu She lay still, just looking at them.
There was only one chair in the room, Mu Chun pulled it to An Ran, and sat on the edge of the bed by himself, Lao Tao and Master Jin sat on the bamboo couch where Tao Mo slept last night, Yuan Aocai and Ji Wudi sat directly on the table.
Old Tao was the first to speak: "Yesterday, it was really thanks to Mr. Gu. If it weren't for Mr. Gu, the young master would not be alive today."
Gu She didn't speak.
Master Jin also said: "Young Master Gu almost lost his life too. This matter is so dangerous!"
An Ran stood up and gave Gu She a salute: "Here, An Ran thanked Mr. Gu. Protecting Tao Mo was a task assigned to An Ran by my husband. If Mr. Gu hadn't sacrificed himself to save him, An Ran would have been punished by my husband now." .”
Only then did Gu She speak slowly: "You guys thank me?"
Mu Chun smiled and said, "Of course you have to thank you for saving Tao Mo."
Gu She asked: "Didn't you save Tao Mo and me later?"
Mu Chun shook his head: "How can it be the same?"
"Why is it different?"
Mu Chundao: "Tao Mo is like the son of old Tao Mo. I am Tao Mo's housekeeper. We are all Tao Mo's own people. It is right to save him."
"You are Tao Mo's own people, and I am an outsider?"
Mu Chun had a half-smile but not a smile: "Master Gu thinks he is Tao Mo's person?"
"I am who you are."
In the study, Tao Mo stood up: "I can take these back to read."
Xie Xiancheng held on to the paperwork and account book: "Your Excellency, you can read it here, and you can learn from humble jobs."
Tao Mo blushed: "I don't know as much as Xie Xiancheng? I just came here."
Xie Xiancheng didn't let go: "Then adults should read it here, if you don't understand, you can talk about it with a humble job."
Tao Mo looked at Xie Xiancheng suspiciously: "You are not like this usually."
"Gu She." Ji Wudi jumped off the table and walked around the room twice, "Let's put it this way! If any of us were by Tao Mo's side at that time, of course we would have saved him, but if we could, we would have saved him. If not, I will never trade my life for his, do you understand?"
Gu She said indifferently: "How can you think so much at a critical moment?"
"It is precisely because you can't think so much that the decisions you make are instinctive. What kind of person will let you risk your life to save them?"
Gu She sighed softly: "If you allow me to think more, maybe I won't use my body to block it."
Tao Mo let go of the hand holding the other end of the paperwork and account book: "I won't read it."
Xie Xiancheng turned pale with shock: "Why don't you watch it, my lord?"
Tao Mo said gloomyly: "On weekdays, you and Mr. Jin take care of these trivial matters, and never bother me. Today you insist on asking me to do it, and you have to do it now. Why?"
"This—" Xie Xiancheng was embarrassed for a moment, "To tell you the truth, Mr. Tao, the housekeeper of Mr. Jin and your lord, let your humble job drag you down. I don't know what this humble job means."
"Gu She! Gu She!"
Tao Mo slammed the door.
Everyone in the room looked at each other.
Mu Chun stood up: "Gu She, let me ask you one last time, are you really just a friend to Tao Mo?"
Gu She said firmly: "Yes!"
Mu Chun nodded and said, "Okay! Miss Qiu falls in love with Tao Mo, so I can be a matchmaker at ease."
The door opened, and Tao Mo looked at the crowd who filed out, dumbfounded.
After a while, he came to his senses and rushed in to look at Gu She.
I looked up and down many times, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it, but I was still worried, and asked eagerly, "Are you okay?"
Gu She was very calm: "I'm fine."
Tao Mo looked suspiciously at the retreating figures of the crowd, but saw nothing. He turned around and asked Gu She: "What are they here for?"
"I heard that I'm awake, come and see me."
Seeing that Gu She was safe and calm, Tao Mo felt relieved, but was still a little puzzled: "Then what are you doing with the door?"
"Maybe I'm afraid that people outside will disturb me."
"Then why call me away?"
"Maybe they want to talk to me, and I'm afraid you won't let them talk because I'm too tired."
"oh."
Tao Mo sat down beside the bed, and tucked in Gu She's quilt: "Don't you want to sleep again? Do you want to sleep now, or do you sleep after dinner later?"
Gu She looked at Tao Mo and said nothing.
Tao Mo touched his face inexplicably: "Is there something wrong with me? But there is something dirty on my face?"
"No. I want to sleep now."
Gu She closed her eyes.
Tao Mo walked out lightly and closed the door.
As soon as he came out, he saw Mu Chun waving to him.
He walked into Mu Chun's room, and Mu Chun asked him: "Jiuhua Shennen and my Demon Cult have always been very friendly. Today the Shennen wrote to say that Miss Qiu has no destiny to become a monk, and asked me to show Miss Qiu a marriage. .I think Miss Qiu only has you in her heart, so I would like to ask you, is what you said yesterday still count? Do you want to try it with Miss Qiu?"
Tao Mo shook his head.
Mu Chun sighed: "Actually, I don't want to care about this matter, but who can worry about you even to death? Recently, Xue Yi is pregnant again, and You Qi thinks a lot, urging me to show you the marriage. And Lu Elder, you want to go back to the Devil's Cult all day long, just because you are not married yet, so you can't rest assured and can't leave."
Tao Mo's tears welled up unexpectedly: "I-I'm fine, don't worry about me."
"Yesterday, I almost died, what should I do?"
Tao Mo was speechless.
Mu Chun pulled him to sit down: "Do you know what we said when we went to see Gu She just now?"
Tao Mo opened his eyes wide.
Mu Chun spoke with difficulty: "Gu She has just woken up from a coma. Logically, we shouldn't force him, but for you, we don't want this face. Let's ask Gu She if he has affection for you? Is it because of Xinyue? Because of you, you risked your life to save me?"
Shy and anxious, Tao Mo stood up all of a sudden, but he wanted to know what Gu She had said, so he hesitated for a while and didn't leave.
Mu Chun sighed: "Gu She said, he treats you the same way we treat you."
Even though he was prepared in his heart, Tao Mo still felt very sad. He trembled and said, "I know you all treat me well. You, Lao Tao, Miss An Ran... and Gu She."
Mu Chun asked: "Tao Mo, to tell you the truth, how many times do you think it is possible for you to meet someone who is in love with you in this world?"
Tao Mo thought about it for a while, then shook his head.
"Look, Lian Jian likes you, but you don't like him; Shang Lu likes you, but you don't like her; Miss Qiu likes you, but you still don't like her. You like Gu She, but Gu She just... Why don't you take a step back and choose one?" What about the person who likes you? If you are married to Miss Qiu, there will be someone protecting you, no matter me, Xue Yi, or Lao Tao, then you can rest assured. And Gu She, he can rest assured that he will treat you well .”
Tao Mo lowered his head and covered his face with his hands.
Mu Chun said softly, "Why don't you think about it again? You can give me an answer tomorrow morning."
Tao Mo raised his head, raised his sleeves, and wiped his face: "You don't have to wait until tomorrow morning."
Bending down and bowing to Mu Chun: "I know you are good to me. But some things cannot be forced. My attachment to Gu She annoys all of you and Gu She. I will change it. Please Don't be stubborn, everyone."
Mu Chun frowned and said, "You really don't want to have a try with Miss Qiu? In terms of martial arts and looks, Miss Qiu is rare in the world."
Tao Mo shook his head: "I only regard her as my younger sister."
