He wanted to feel her again and again, to make her his completely. But in front of others, he couldn't.
Gu Nian, affected by the drugs, couldn't control herself either. Chu Zhaoyang was suffering intensely.
"Nian Nian, hold on a bit longer, we're almost there," Chu Zhaoyang could only say to her.
Gu Nian's rationality was fading, especially when she smelled Chu Zhaoyang's scent.
Relaxing made her even more uncontrollable.
Chu Zhaoyang continuously kissed her forehead, eyes, and lips, hoping to make her feel better.
Instead, they both ended up feeling worse.
Chu Zhaoyang thought, at least they were suffering together. Being with her was a comfort.
Thankfully, the helicopter was fast.
Fu Yinxi took them to "Thorns"'s base in Country Y.
No drug was more effective than those produced by Chutian Hospital.
Fu Yinxi provided the base, and Chu Zhaoyang had his clan retrieve the necessary medication from Chutian Hospital's branch in Country Y.
"Thorns" had its own doctors, so Chu Zhaoyang didn't bring in outsiders, ensuring trust within the base.
By the time they reached the base, the medication had also arrived, perfectly timed.
The doctor immediately filled a syringe and injected Gu Nian.
She felt a cool sensation spread through her body, bringing relief and relaxation.
The redness in her face visibly faded.
Chu Zhaoyang checked her temperature, feeling it drop, and finally relaxed.
However, the fear from Gu Nian's kidnapping made Chu Zhaoyang reluctant to let her out of his sight.
He watched her closely, holding her hand.
When Fu Yinxi and the others left, Chu Zhaoyang climbed into bed and held Gu Nian tightly.
He kissed her lips. "Rest for a bit. I'll wake you when the porridge is ready."
Gu Nian, exhausted from not eating or sleeping for two days, closed her eyes obediently.
With Chu Zhaoyang's comforting presence, she fell asleep almost immediately.
Later, a servant brought porridge. Chu Zhaoyang, despite not wanting to wake her, roused her gently.
He fed her some porridge before holding her as she slept again.
Gu Nian slept for a whole day and night.
When she woke, it was midday. Sunlight poured through the uncurtained windows, warming her.
Chu Zhaoyang had stayed by her side the whole time, except when he went to eat.
Even when he woke early, he just watched her, unmoving.
She was still in his arms. He never wanted to go through losing her again.
Chu Zhaoyang had also been sleepless for two days.
Though his eyes were bloodshot, he hadn't slept, fearing to see her disappearance again.
He just watched her, feeling comforted.
When Gu Nian woke, she saw Chu Zhaoyang's bloodshot eyes staring at her.
Anyone waking up to someone staring at them would be startled.
Thankfully, it was Chu Zhaoyang. Gu Nian recognized him immediately.
Seeing his bloodshot eyes, she asked, "Haven't you rested?"
"I rested with you," Chu Zhaoyang denied.
"How long did I sleep?" Gu Nian asked.
Chu Zhaoyang answered honestly, "A day and a night."
"You slept with me the whole time?" Gu Nian raised an eyebrow.
Chu Zhaoyang nodded.
"Then why are your eyes bloodshot?" Gu Nian asked, knowing why and feeling heartbroken.
She didn't want Chu Zhaoyang to fall into another nightmare after just escaping the last one.
She kissed his lips. "I'm okay now."
"Mm." Chu Zhaoyang didn't say more, stubbornly watching her.
Gu Nian sighed, taking his hand.
His fingers were long and slender. She brought his hand to her lips, kissing his knuckles.
"I'm fine. Look, I'm perfectly okay. Get some sleep, don't make me worry," Gu Nian said.
"I just want to watch you," Chu Zhaoyang finally said.
Seeing his unblinking, bloodshot eyes made her eyes feel dry.
"Do you have eye drops?" Gu Nian asked. "Lie here, I'll get some eye drops for you."
She got out of bed, feeling more energetic after the porridge.
After lying in bed so long, she wanted to move around.
