Seeing Gu Chi lost in thought as he looked at Lingyue, Gu Junzhu called his name gently, "Xiao Chi?"
"Master!" Gu Chi quickly retreated from his apparent daydream. He bowed slightly, and asked softly, "Are you tired? Why don't you rest awhile? I can watch over Young Madam."
"No need," Gu Junzhu said, "Back on missions, it was commonplace to stay awake for three days and three nights. Guarding a single night is nothing."
With a disapproving tone, Gu Chi replied, "But, you weren't injured back then. You have internal injuries now..."
Gu Junzhu waved his hand dismissively, and Gu Chi fell silent.
Just as Gu Junzhu was about to say something else, he felt the hand he was holding, belonging to Ye Xingbei, twitch.
He immediately turned his head towards her.
Ye Xingbei's eyelashes fluttered and she slowly opened her eyes.
Gu Junzhu got up, supporting himself with his hands by her side, and leaned in to ask, "How are you feeling?"
