Xu Weilai could feel Gu Yu's body trembling slightly and his footsteps were staggered. He was even sweating all the time. Her hand could feel the chill in his skin even though it was separated by the shirt he was wearing.
Previously, she only felt that he had become thinner. Now that she was supporting him, he was obviously thinner than she had thought, and so much lighter.
Gu Yu was not only unwell, he seems to be seriously sick.
As Xu Weilai walked, thousands of guesses ran through her mind. Both of them had reached the apartment door before she realized. Unexpectedly, Gu Yu pulled back his hand from her grip. He then grabbed her wrist and pulled her forward.
Xu Weilai was caught off guard by the sudden movement. She was dragged forward by a few steps, while Gu Yu retreated behind the apartment door.
The door slammed behind her mercilessly with a bang.
Xu Weilai was too stunned to react. She blinked a few times before she slowly turned and stared at the closed door. She helplessly clenched her teeth.
She couldn't believe that Gu Yu tricked her. Where was the basic trust between humans?
Xu Weilai took two deep breaths and restrained the impulse to smash open the door. Unless she tore the door apart, Gu Yu was definitely not going to open the door for her.
Gu Yu was so resistant towards her taking him to the hospital. There was definitely something wrong with his health, but he didn't want anyone to know. If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't control himself after drinking too much tonight, he definitely would not have let it show in front of her.
It seemed that he wanted to be alone. But, what if something bad happened to him?
Xu Weilai paced back and forth in front of the apartment door. She struggled for a long time on whether or not to break the door open but decided against it in the end.
Even if she found a way to get in, Gu Yu would chase her out again. Or he would force himself to look well and would not be able to have a proper rest. But still, she couldn't just leave him alone by himself...
She took a moment and thought about it. Then she took out her phone and dialed Xu Shuai's number.
Assistant Lin was already drunk, she could only look for Xu Shuai now. At least Xu Shuai was close like a buddy to Gu Yu, someone that Gu Yu could trust. Gu Yu probably wouldn't refuse if Xu Shuai was the one that came to take care of him.
Xu Weilai squatted at the door for almost an hour as she waited for Xu Shuai. Xu Shuai was panting heavily as he ran towards her. When she saw him, she stood up and briefly explained Gu Yu's situation. Xu Shuai gulped and said, "I'll take good care of him. Hurry up and go back. It's too late now so it would be difficult to hail a cab. You can drive yourself home with my car."
Xu Weilai didn't refuse. She handed Gu Yu's car keys to him and took his car key from his hand."Hurry up and go in. I wonder what his condition is right now. He seemed to be in a lot of pain earlier."
"Okay."
When Xu Weilai walked towards the elevator, she saw Xu Shuai took out his set of keys and opened the door. After making sure that he had gone in, she retracted her gaze and walked into the elevator.
Xu Shuai's car was very easy to recognize. It was a sports car in emerald green, perfectly noticeable even in the dark.
Xu Weilai walked over, pulled open the car door, and sat in it. She started the engine and sped away.
She was alone back in the apartment as Xiao Chun was away on a business trip. As she had been going around all night, she decided to first take a shower. After she relaxed her mind and body, she came out of the bathroom, lifted the blanket, and sat on the bed. She picked up her phone and contemplated whether to send Xu Shuai a message to follow up on the situation earlier.
Before she could make a decision, her phone suddenly rang.
