The Heartthrob Became My Boyfriend-Chapter 98 - 0: Woke Up but Not Completely Awake

Chapter 98: Chapter 098: Woke Up but Not Completely Awake

Because of the fever, Gu Huai’s body was very hot, and in an instant, Qi Yue felt as if she were surrounded by a ball of flames, with the illusion that she might be scorched by the temperature.

Perhaps because the high fever was unbearable, Gu Huai instinctively drew closer to the cold skin in his arms, like a person in the desert encountering refreshing water, seeking it out by instinct…

Gu Huai’s movement was so sudden that Qi Yue was completely stunned there for a moment, until Gu Huai’s thin lips unintentionally brushed against the skin of her neck…

Qi Yue’s heartbeat skipped a beat instantly, and she jolted, wanting to stand up, but she was held too tightly to succeed.

Qi Yue could only turn her head slightly to one side to avoid him a little, so Gu Huai immediately frowned, seemingly dissatisfied, and pulled her in tighter.

Qi Yue: “…!!!!!”

...

What’s going on?

Was she being treated like a block of ice?

“Master… Master…!?”

Gu Huai was obviously delirious with fever, completely unconscious, and did not respond to Qi Yue’s calls no matter how many times she called out. The only responses to her were Gu Huai’s burning breaths and heartbeat.

And the moment she tried to break free, she was met with an even more intense tightening of his grip.

For a moment, their heartbeats were incredibly close, without any gap, beating right next to her ear, separated only by thin layers of clothing, like the pounding of a drum.

Qi Yue struggled to slightly lift her head, only to see Gu Huai’s long eyelashes and the redness around his eyes due to the high fever.

In this moment, there was none of Gu Huai’s usual godlike invincibility and flawless perfection, only vulnerability and a sense of being shattered, which inexplicably clenched Qi Yue’s heart, rendering her unable to push him away…

Qi Yue came back to her senses from her daze, and could only try to call out to him by his ear, “Cough… Um… Gu Huai… wake up… Gu Huai…”

Maybe he heard her voice, as Gu Huai’s body seemed to relax a bit, but his grip remained as dominating as ever, not loosening in the slightest.

Sensing that Gu Huai had relaxed a bit, Qi Yue continued with a softer voice, “Master… Boss… Gu Huai? Can you wake up, please… let me go first… you need to go to the hospital…”

At this point, Qi Yue’s mind was nearly as muddled as a thick paste, headache mingled with helplessness.

How could the boss say she wasn’t prepared when it was he who was unprepared?

Lucky for him, the person he encountered was her. If it had been someone else, wouldn’t they take advantage of the situation?

Today, he probably couldn’t even preserve his innocence!

After Qi Yue shouted for a long time, Gu Huai finally showed a bit of response, his eyelashes trembling slightly as he slowly opened his eyes and lifted his head, his unfocused gaze resting on Qi Yue’s face for a moment.

“You’re awake?” Qi Yue brightened up.

Just as Qi Yue was about to get up, Gu Huai closed his eyes, and continued to bury his head into Qi Yue’s neck as he snugly pulled her closer again, like a pillow.

Qi Yue: “…”

Fine, it seemed he was awake but not fully awake…

At that moment, sounds of footsteps and voices of several boys talking echoed from the corridor, apparently someone passing by.

Qi Yue’s heart shrank, and she was suddenly too frightened to move.

After the sounds in the corridor had dissipated and faded away, Qi Yue quickly pushed against Gu Huai again, whispering urgently into his ear: “Master! Wake up quickly! There’s a fire! Get up!”

Probably disturbed by Qi Yue, Gu Huai slightly furrowed his brows, finally opening his eyes again.

This time, the look Gu Huai gave Qi Yue finally had some focus, going from completely unconscious to half asleep and half awake…
