At this scene, Yan Xi felt a sharp knife stabbing at her heart.

She took a few deep breaths before she adjusted her emotions and walked to Gu Shen.

Gu Shen looked up at Yan Xi, his eyes cast down.

The expression on her face was very strange. She was frowning and the corners of her eyes were lowered.

She had always been a lively and happy go lucky girl, and this kind of expression was rare on her face.

Did I scare her? "Yan Xi, did I scare you?" He endured the pain in his body. "Go outside and wait. I'll come out later."

"You didn't scare me." Yan Xi squatted down. "I'm just..." She stopped in mid sentence, unable to suppress the surging emotions in her heart.

"No." She sniffed, her voice thick with emotion. "I just came to see you."

Cold sweat dripped down Gu Shen's face, down his chin, and onto his collarbone. He raised his hand slightly, wanting to touch Yan Xi, but he retracted it.

Yan Xi grabbed his hand. "You're sweating a lot. Let me help you wipe it."

Yan Xi helped Gu Shen wipe the sweat off his forehead. He gasped for breath, looking like he was trying his best to suppress the pain.

"Gu Shen." Yan Xi asked in a low voice, "Does it hurt a lot?"

It hurts.

Gu Shen remembered that there were people who classified pain into different levels. He was not sure what level he was at now, but it was definitely an unbearable pain that could make people collapse instantly.

"I'm fine." His voice was very soft, not wanting Yan Xi to worry.

"I know it hurts." Yan Xi wiped the sweat on his forehead and hugged him gently.

"Hugging you might help reduce some pain."

Gu Shen was stunned for a moment by the unexpected hug. His hand moved slightly, not knowing where to land.

He couldn't tell if it was because of comfort or psychological effects, but Gu Shen really felt that the pain was easing.

He reached out and patted Yan Xi's shoulder. "Okay, get up first. I'm covered in sweat."

"No." Yan Xi hugged him tighter, but she didn't exert much strength, afraid that it would hurt Gu Shen.

"Alright." Gu Shen said softly, "Let me get changed first. We can hug when I come back."

The doctors and nurses beside them were looking at them with a kind smile on their faces. Yan Xi suddenly blushed and let go of Gu Shen clumsily. "Alright then."

The nurses brought Gu Shen to change into a set of clean clothes. After a while, they came out of the room.

Yan Xi walked over and helped the nurse push Gu Shen's wheelchair.

Now, there was a refreshing smell on him and his aura was not as fierce as before. However, he seemed a little tired and his face was still pale.

Gu Shen was only 26 years old. He was not old, but he had suffered too much.

"Yan Xi," Gu Shen said, interrupting Yan Xi's thoughts. "I'm going to train here until six. You can go home first." 

"I'm not going back." Yan Xi shook her head. "I'll stay here and keep you company."
