Chapter 115 (Take care)
At the base at three in the morning, the street lights were all turned off, and the dark paths were all illuminated by moonlight.
Gu Chaochao's eyes were so burned that he couldn't open his eyes, and he accidentally bumped into Shen Mushen's back.
Shen Mushen stopped abruptly, and when she stood firm, she turned around: "I'll hug you."
"...No, I can walk by myself." Gu Chaochao reluctantly regained his strength, and soon his eyelids collapsed again.
Shen Mushen didn't discuss with her at all, and hugged him directly.
Gu Chaochao slammed his feet into the air, and suddenly became more awake: "Captain..."
"No matter who it is, I will take care of it." Shen Mushen's words blocked all her explanations.
Gu Chaochao opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything. Instead, a coldness emerged from the crevices of his bones. Realizing that his high fever was indeed ferocious, he simply stopped resisting and leaned weakly on his neck.
Her breathing was hot, and Shen Mushen's steps were chaotic for a moment, and she walked faster and faster.
Ten minutes later, the two returned to the dormitory. Shen Mushen put Gu Chaochao on the bed and turned to boil some hot water for her.
The single-person dormitory is small and small, and I don't realize it when I live alone. Suddenly, there is a man over 1.9 meters tall, and the whole room becomes crowded. He was standing in front of the table to boil water, with a tall and wide back, Gu Chaochao could faintly smell his breath while sitting on the bed.
It is a scent similar to the combination of mint and pine, with the coolness and freshness unique to winter.
Gu Chao moved the tip of his nose and secretly took two more breaths of the smell in the air.
Shen Mushen turned around and met her burning eyes.
"Uncomfortable?"
"...No." Gu Chaochao sat up silently, pretending that he didn't do anything.
Shen Mushen gave her one more look, and then poured out the boiled water, dried it at a suitable temperature, and handed it to her: "Drink it."
"Oh." Gu Chaochao took it obediently and drank all the water in one breath while holding the warm cup. Before she could take the initiative to put the cup, Shen Mushen had already picked up the cup.
"Thank you." She seemed to be the only one to say.
Shen Mushen ignored her thanks, and after putting down the cup, he came to her and leaned down on one knee.
Gu Chaochao was so frightened that he leaned back: "You ask for marriage?!"
Shen Mushen's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, and after a long time he looked at her speechlessly: "Take off your shoes."
Gu Chaochao: "... "
What is embarrassment, this is embarrassment, Gu Chaochao suspects that he has awakened another ability - the
ability to see the frozen air and the invisible ellipsis on Shen Mu's forehead.
She coughed and suddenly became weak: "I, I'm confused."
"Then don't talk." Shen Mushen finished speaking, one hand wrapped around her ankle, held up her foot, and the other Start untying your shoelaces.
Gu Chaochao stared dully at the swirl of hair on the top of his head, turned his eyes to his fingers for a long time, watched his slender fingers tug at the shoelaces a few times, and directly rescued her feet from the shoes, then took off her socks, lightly Hold lightly.
With his feet on Shen Mushen's hands, Gu Chaochao realized that his feet looked so small and his skin was so white, like a soft green onion, in sharp contrast to Shen Mushen's rough hands. .
This strong contrast made her heart feel as if a feather was swaying, itchy, and she couldn't help but curl up her toes and back away silently.
Shen Mu was deeply aware of her thoughts and grabbed her back in time. Only then did she unscrew the alcohol and apply it to the soles of her feet, circling her slender fingers gently.
The itch was instantly transferred from the heart to the soles of the feet. She snorted and wanted to retreat, but he grabbed it again: "Don't move, you need to dissipate heat."
I don't know if it was the cause of the fever, but Gu Chaochao's cheeks were a little hot, and at the same time, he was silently grateful. Fortunately, he had a fever.
She watched him gently massage the soles of her feet, and suddenly remembered that she had a fever in the last world, and a guy who likes sports cars did the same. He took her to the hospital and took care of her attentively.
...is it because of the same face? Occasionally I feel that he and the male protagonist of the previous world are actually the same person, otherwise why are they even so similar to gentleness.
Those memories are all in her mind, as clear as if it happened just yesterday. Although she had forgotten her original feelings, she still throbbed for a moment. Unfortunately, the throbbing didn't last long, and the invisible petals on her wrist warmed. When she regained her senses, she no longer had any feelings about the previous world.
When he looked at Shen Mushen in front of him again, Gu Chaochao was already awake.
The world he has traveled has been frozen and shattered, and the male protagonist in the past has reached a complete life, and it is impossible to appear again. The person in front of him has his own ideals and ambitions. Although he has the same face as the previous male protagonist, he is not them.
After Shen Mushen finished massaging her, she looked up and met her slightly disappointed eyes.
Inexplicably, he didn't like the look in her eyes, and after being quiet, he said, "What are you thinking about?"
"...Nothing," Gu Chaochao said, seeing that he was about to pour alcohol into his palm again, so he hurriedly took it, "I You can too."
Shen Mushen didn't refuse, just looked at her quietly.
Gu Chaochao rubbed alcohol on his palm silently, and found that the atmosphere was even more awkward.
She cleared her throat and said, "Captain, why are you so busy at this time?"
"The fence surrounds the entire base, and the inspection work is a bit heavy." Shen Mushen replied.
Gu Chaochao frowned: "Can't you ask others to help?"
"Arjun has already checked it once, and I checked it the second time." Shen Mushen saw that she could spill any alcohol on the bed, so she immediately picked it up and started again. Give her a massage.
Gu Chaochao did not refuse this time, sniffed and persuaded earnestly: "Arjun has such a serious character, since he has already checked it, it means that there is no problem. Why do you need to check it again.
" Most of them are ordinary people who are incapable of fighting against zombies, so they must be completely isolated from danger." Shen Mushen glanced at her after finishing speaking, "Check it again and you will have more security."
Gu Chaochao moved his lips slightly, and sighed for a long time: "But you're going to be tired."
She was probably sick and weak, her voice was a little light, and the final sound was scattered in the air, like a soft brush, brushing over Shen Mu's deep heart.
Shen Mu's eyes moved slightly, and the hand that was massaging her stopped abruptly. After a moment of silence, he resumed the action just now: "I am the captain, and I should be responsible for them."
"The captain has worked hard." Gu Chaochao finished speaking Start to get sleepy.
Shen Mushen wiped off the excess alcohol from her palm, helped her to lie down and said slowly, "Go to sleep."
"Go back too, I don't feel so hot now." Gu Chaochao covered the quilt and said in a daze. .
"I'll leave when your fever subsides."
Gu Chaochao hummed a little in his throat. He wanted to say something, but he was so ill that he could only fall asleep unwillingly.
She said she was going to sleep, but in fact she didn't sleep very well. Every time Shen Mushen took her temperature, she felt it. She tried to persuade Shen Mushen to go back several times. Can't say a word.
When it was dawn, her body temperature finally returned to normal, and Shen Mushen was also overwhelmed and fell asleep beside the bed.
The sun shone silently into the room, and fell upon the two sleepy figures, coating their silhouettes with a hazy glow.
Shen Mushen didn't sleep for too long when he was woken up by a knock on the door.
He frowned and opened his eyes. The first thing he did was to take out the thermometer and take the temperature of Gu Chaochao, who was still sleeping.
The knocking on the door continued for another minute, and finally stopped.
Just when he stopped, a male voice came: "Xiao Gu, I'm Wu Qiu, the person introduced by Deputy Team Ellie."
Shen Mu raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Chaochao, her fingers still holding the other end of the thermometer to prevent She moved around in her sleep, causing the temperature to be inaccurate.
After the person outside the door introduced himself, he hesitated and continued: "I know you're inside, but you didn't open the door to me because you were angry with me? I didn't mean to miss the appointment yesterday, I blame the captain for nothing, just repaired it. The fence is going to be large and reworked, I have no choice but to continue working overtime." The
young man couldn't help gnashing his teeth when he mentioned Shen Mushen, and after calming down, he said patiently, "Xiao Gu, don't be mad at me, I beg you. Is it okay to eat? Although I haven’t seen you much, I think you are a good fit for me, and I believe you think of me the same way. It’s fate to have a blind date. If you have no opinion, how about we settle the relationship?”
After speaking, He held his breath, confidently waiting for a response from the people in the room.
While one of the people in the room was asleep, the other picked up the thermometer and carefully lit it in the sunlight.
Thirty-six degrees five, no repeated fever.
Shen Mushen's shoulders relaxed slightly, and just put away the thermometer, the young man's voice came out again -
"Xiao Gu, why don't you speak? If you don't speak, I will take it as your agreement."
Shen Mu's eyes flashed deeply . There was a trace of displeasure, like a beast that had invaded the territory, with a dangerous aura all over his body. It's just that he quickly hid his breath and became calm again.
Across the door, the young man was still standing there. After saying that, he still didn't hear Gu Chaochao's response, and he felt dissatisfied. Fortunately, it was training time. Both the male and female soldiers went out to practice, and there was no one in the corridor, so he didn't feel embarrassed.
He is not bad looking and has strong abilities. As soon as he enters the base, he is a third-class soldier. He is very popular with the girls in the base. He would never coax a woman like that in normal times. Limited, he turned away the first time she refused to open the door.
Just bear with it, who made this base worthy of him, there are really not many. The young man took a deep breath, and even though there was only a door in front of him, he still said cheerfully: "Xiao Gu... I'll ask you to Chao Chao in the future, it's already this time, you should be hungry, do you have anything to eat? Yes, I'll buy it for you."
After she finished speaking, she thought of her appetite and asked, "How about Roujiamo? There are also pancakes, and I'll bring you a porridge..." Before he finished speaking
, the door The lock clicked, and the door opened slowly before him.
The young man's eyes suddenly lit up, and just as he was about to greet him enthusiastically, he saw a broad chest. His expression froze, he looked up along his body, and when he saw Shen Mushen's face, his expression was almost torn apart: "Captain, why are you here?!"
"I also want to ask why you are here," Shen Mu looked at him blankly, "At this time, you should train with other mercenaries."
"I, I..." The young man was like a skipper who was caught by the dean, desperately trying to find out One reason, but when he met his gaze, his mind went blank.
He was far more intimidating than the dean.
Shen Mu stared at him indifferently. The young man wanted to cry without tears, but he could only tell the truth: "I asked for leave with Team Li."
"For training time, he only grants sick leave." Fully open.
The young man only felt a sense of oppression, and he didn't even have the courage to look directly at him: "What I asked for...is sick leave."
"Ask for sick leave to chase women?" Shen Mu's eyes were cold.
The young man almost cried: "I'm sorry, I didn't know that you and Xiao... Gu Chaochao were together. If I knew, I would definitely not dare to come..."
"Don't blur the point, your mistake is to avoid training, not to confess to her." Shen Mushen interrupted him.
The young man nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, I know the wrong captain."
"Go back to Li Sheng to receive the punishment." After Shen Mushen finished speaking, he closed the door in front of him.
Taking into account Gu Chaochao, who was still sleeping, the sound of his closing the door was not loud, but the young man shivered a bit and walked downstairs without tears, only to bump into Ellie.
"Why did you come to the female dormitory?" Ellie was surprised.
When the young man saw her, his face suddenly became bitter: "Deputy team, you hurt me badly."
"What do you mean?" Ellie was puzzled.
The young man opened his mouth and wanted to complain, and immediately thought of Ellie's identity, and immediately refrained from complaining and begging: "Deputy team, can you help me talk to the captain, I really don't know what kind of relationship he has with Gu Chaochao, if I know absolutely Do n't dare..."
"Wait a minute, what kind of relationship do they have?" Allie frowned.
"They all slept in the same bed, what kind of relationship could it be!" The young man couldn't help but get excited when he heard her question, "Deputy team, when you introduced me to her on a blind date, you didn't mention her and the captain. Isn't that kind of relationship? Why am I looking for her today, but the captain is in her room..."
"Wait a minute," Ellie frowned deeper, "You're here to look for her now?"
She asked the young man. Suddenly guilty, I quickly explained: "I was very guilty yesterday because I didn't make it to the appointment because of overtime, and this blind date was introduced by you from the deputy team, I was afraid that you would be caught in the middle, so I came to explain to her early in the morning. , who knew it was Shen Mushen who opened the door for me..."
"It's training time, so you came to the women's bed for these private matters?" Allie interrupted directly, "Do you know what it means to be clear about public and private?
" Unexpectedly, just after being taught by Shen Mushen, he will be taught by Ellie again, and he was stunned for a while.
"Who is your captain, Li Sheng? What happened to him? I don't even know if the people he brought escaped." Ellie is always giggling, and it is rare to have such a straight face.
The young man was stunned, and after recovering, he apologized repeatedly, saying that he would go to Li Sheng to ask for punishment, and Ellie let him go.
The young man fled, Ellie frowned and looked at his anxious back, and couldn't help sighing. She introduced this person to Gu Chaochao before, just because he looks good and can coax people, and his personal strength is also considered acceptable. Who would have guessed that he would be exposed in only two days, and a guy who can come to find a woman during training time is not at first sight. a responsible.
I met Li Shengde later and told him not to give this person too important tasks as much as possible. Ellie walked upstairs while thinking about it. When she passed Gu Chaochao's bedroom, she suddenly thought of what the young man had just said.
So... the captain is here now?
Ellie blinked, and suddenly had the urge to knock on the door.
And if the people inside the door felt anything, they opened the door before she could take action.
The two looked at each other instantly.
"It's really you!" Although Ellie already knew that Shen Mushen was here, she was still shocked when she saw him.
Her voice was a little loud, and Shen Mu looked back subconsciously, making sure that Gu Chaochao was still asleep before turning back: "She doesn't like gossip."
"Understood, I promise there won't be a third person... No, that kid already knew that just now. Now, I'll go over now and remind him not to talk nonsense." Ellie left happily.
Shen Mushen was speechless for a moment and closed the door again.
After he opened and closed the door several times, someone on the bed finally woke up. When he opened his eyes, he only felt that his limbs were sore, and he couldn't lift his spirits.
She groaned and stretched, and after stretching, she didn't forget to smell her palms to see if there was any smell of alcohol left.
Shen Mushen watched her little animal-like movements, and the corners of her lips raised slightly.
If Gu Chaochao felt something, he looked up after a while, and when he saw that he was still in the room, he was stunned for a moment: "You, you haven't left yet?"
"I'm leaving now." Shen Mushen replied.
Gu Chaochao just had a high fever, and he couldn't keep his spirits up. Hearing that, he was still lying on the bed, but what he said was very polite: "I won't send you off. Thank you captain for taking care of you last night. You should go back and rest as soon as possible."
Shen Mushen glanced at her, turned and walked towards the door, Gu Chaochao looked at his back, and suddenly couldn't help calling him: "Captain."
"Anything else?" Shen Mushen turned back.
Gu Chaochao coughed, "Can you bring me some breakfast?" She was so hungry that she felt so sick that she didn't want to get up.
Shen Mu raised his lips, opened the door and walked out.
...So you promised, didn't you? Gu Chaochao turned over and sighed very melancholy.
A man continued to lie on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. After an unknown time, the door was knocked twice.
Gu Chaochao moved his eyelids and didn't bother to open the door.
"If you don't open the door, the porridge will be cold."
Shen Mu's deep and deep voice came from outside the door, Gu Chaochao jumped out of bed and ran towards the door.
