Chapter 889 The Honest Girl Waiting for the Prodigal Son to Return (2)
In the hospital, Mu Zhou obediently sat down after pushing open an office door.
The man's eyes were completely calm and serene when he looked at her.
Mu Zhou had a fever; even her breath was hot. She unconsciously revealed a hint of grievance and fear.
"My heart is beating so fast, do you think I might have myocarditis?"
As she spoke, she naturally took his hand and placed it over her heart.
"You touch it and see."
The man froze almost instantly.
His pupils trembled, and his once calm eyes became chaotic.
Even through the coat, you can feel the undeniable softness beneath your palm.
My heart was pounding so hard I couldn't tell whose heart it was.
Meeting the girl's innocent and open eyes, he abruptly withdrew his hand and looked away almost in a panic.
The girl was completely unaware.
She tilted her head. "Can't you feel it?" Her long eyelashes trembled, and she pointed to the stethoscope on his desk. "Then listen to it for me."
As she spoke, she pulled open her coat, revealing a thin nightgown underneath.
It's made of pure cotton fabric and has a very basic style, but the neckline is a bit too big.
"Hurry up, listen to this."
The girl urged.
The man almost stiffly took the stethoscope and then slowly placed it above her chest.
"Boom, boom..."
It hit his heart again and again.
Mu Zhou lowered her eyes and looked at his large, well-defined hands.
His hands looked a little dry and had a faint smell of disinfectant. It seemed that the dryness was due to long-term disinfection.
These are hands perfectly suited for holding a scalpel.
Tall and slender, cold and aloof.
A small section of pale skin and a silver watch were visible on his wrist.
She frowned slightly:
"You changed your watch? I've never seen it before."
Mu Zhou's words abruptly brought the man back to his senses.
He lowered his eyes, calmly withdrew his hand, and removed the stethoscope.
"It doesn't sound like a big problem. I'll have someone draw your blood for testing."
"Well, it's all up to you."
Mu Zhou nodded obediently and followed the nurse in to have his blood drawn for testing.
When I turned my head, Gu Fengmian was already gone.
Noticing she was looking around for someone, the nurse asked:
"Are you looking for Dean Gu? I just saw him make a phone call."
The nurse noticed that the girl and the hospital director had an unusual relationship and told her about it.
Mu Zhou thanked him and got up to go to the infusion area.
The test results came back, and everything was fine; thankfully, it wasn't a virus.
But the fever wouldn't go down, so they had to give the patient an injection to reduce it.
She wanted to wait for Gu Fengmian to return, but her heavy eyelids were too much to bear, and she soon fell asleep leaning against the armrest.
On the other side, the man who had just examined Mu Zhou took out his phone and made a call:
"Your girlfriend is in the hospital, take care of her yourself."
He finished speaking without any emotion and then hung up the phone.
His gaze then swept over his right hand.
That was the hand just now...
He felt a tightness in his chest and irritably unbuttoned a button on his collar.
The girl mistook someone for someone else.
She is Gu Fengmian's girlfriend.
He is Gu Fengyan, Gu Fengmian's twin brother. The two look quite alike among twins, and few people could tell them apart since they were young.
Even parents sometimes admit their mistakes.
Although they look alike, their personalities are completely opposite.
A free-spirited, unrestrained, and wandering life.
One is methodical, dedicated to scientific research, and has a withdrawn and aloof personality with very few friends.
The two have never been particularly close since childhood, but being twins, they are naturally more special than others.
Gu Fengyan had just returned to China when he unexpectedly encountered this blunder.
It was just an accident.
She has a fever.
Besides, they are twins, so it's normal for her to mistake them for each other.
As Gu Fengyan thought this through, he gradually calmed down.
Just then, a nurse saw him during her shift change. Thinking of Mu Zhou, she said:
"Dean Gu, that lady just now seemed to be looking for you. She's getting an IV drip."
Gu Fengyan simply grunted in response, glanced at the infusion area again, and then left with his coat.

Mu Zhou slowly opened his eyes as his palm was grasped by something warm, his eyelashes trembling in confusion.
Gu Fengmian was standing right in front of him.
He held Mu Zhou's hand, a hint of worry appearing in his slender eyes:
"Sorry, I didn't see your message. How come you're so sick?"
Mu Zhou didn't ask him why he hadn't seen it.
Because she knew he was attending parties, and he had countless parties to attend every day.
His life was always so colorful.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Gu Fengmian assumed she was still in pain and asked anxiously:
"Is there anything else that's bothering you? I'll go get the doctor."
Mu Zhou shook his head, forcing a smile:
"I'm fine, I'm almost better now, thank goodness you were here today."
Gu Fengmian thought she meant that he arrived as soon as she opened her eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
She is always so easily satisfied; as long as someone is even slightly kind to her, she will reciprocate without hesitation.
Gu Fengmian forcefully suppressed the excessive heartache she felt.
He wouldn't allow anyone to influence him, nor would he allow himself to lose control for any woman.
His life goal is to enjoy life to the fullest.
Gu Fengmian changed the subject:
"Have you seen my brother?"
Otherwise, why would his brother call him and tell him that Mu Zhou was in the hospital?
His brother, on the other hand, rarely meddles in other people's business.
He was an extremely cold person.
Mu Zhou revealed a perfectly timed look of doubt:
"...Your brother?"
Seeing her expression, Gu Fengmian didn't say anything more.
Gu Fengyan assumed he had seen Mu Zhou's photo in his WeChat Moments or somewhere else.
I saw her at the hospital, so I notified him, but the two did not communicate.
That's normal; Gu Fengyan is a super student with a photographic memory.
He didn't mention Gu Fengyan again.
"It's nothing. My brother came back a few days ago. I'll introduce you to him when I have the chance."
Mu Zhou smiled and said okay.
She lowered her eyes.
I've not only seen the person, I've even touched them...
0001 also happened to speak up to remind us.
[Character Gu Fengyan's favorability has increased by 2%. Current favorability is 10%]
After their first "intimate" contact, his favorability rating increased by 8%, and unexpectedly, it quietly increased again.
Could it be... that he's reminiscing?
Mu Zhou pursed his lips.
Gu Fengmian saw her suddenly smile and asked:
"what happened?"
Mu Zhou looked up at him, and without blinking, she began to speak:
"I feel so happy to have you by my side."
Gu Fengmian was stunned, his usually unruly eyes now filled with countless complex emotions.
Such a direct expression of love was unfamiliar and frightening to Gu Fengmian.
He had never experienced this before meeting Mu Zhou.
Many people confessed their love to him, and many people loved him.
But no one else could make him feel such overwhelming, undisguised love.
This made him instinctively afraid.
He preferred that Mu Zhou only wanted something from him, rather than asking him to reciprocate his love.
Gu Fengmian avoided her gaze and picked up his phone as if to cover it up:
"I'm going to make a phone call."
"Well, let's go."
Mu Zhou closed her eyes again after he left.
When you don't want to talk to him, just confess your feelings to him, and he'll run away on his own.
She'll have some peace and quiet.
