"Awake?" Gu Zichen asked.
"Yeah, my body feels sore, so I thought of walking around a bit."
"Not hurting anymore?"
"Not as much. It's within a tolerable range now," Qiao Xiguan said.
Gu Zichen nodded slightly, "Have your meal first."
"Okay." Qiao Xiguan walked over.
Gu Zichen still fed her, bite by bite.
She ate slowly, careful not to choke. A single cough would cause tearing, agonizing pain in her chest. She always took good care of her body.
After consuming a full bowl, Qiao Xiguan stood up satisfied and began to walk around.
"Wait, I haven't washed my face or brushed my teeth!" Qiao Xiguan suddenly exclaimed.
She had just eaten breakfast without doing that?!
How could she be so neglectful of cleanliness?!
Gu Zichen had no particular reaction to Qiao Xiguan's sudden alarm. Perhaps in his world, Qiao Xiguan always fussed over inconsequential things.
These trifles made Qiao Xiguan seem very real to him.
He said, "Do you need my help?"
"Yes." Qiao Xiguan nodded.
