Chapter 276

When Ye Zhi woke up, she found Gu Ren sitting beside her with his eyes focused on her.

Her thinking gradually became clear, and she met his eyes directly.

Gu Ren’s eyes were deep. At the moment he saw her, the still water was moving and the luster was everywhere. His thin lips spit out: “Have you finally woken up?”

Ye Zhi was startled: “Why are you here?”

Gu Ren’s expression remained unchanged as if there was nothing unusual with him being with her.

While sleeping, Ye Zhi saw a figure vaguely. Its facial features were very familiar and they finally overlapped with Gu Ren. It seemed that Gu Ren was here for a long time.

In the next second, Gu Ren couldn’t help but change the topic, “You should eat something first.”

There was a thermos on the table, which contained the porridge sent by the Gu family. They were worried about Ye Zhi’s health and repeatedly warned him.

Gu Ren served her a bowl of porridge. The porridge was still hot with vapour rising from it.

Gu Ren took care of Ye Zhi, just like she did for him in his previous life.

Ye Zhi was taking very small bites. She seemed to be still going on dieting. Gu Ren looked at her and said in a slightly cold voice: “You are being cruel to yourself.”

“Since I have taken this role, I should do my best.” Ye Zhi raised her eyes to look at Gu Ren, “I remember, you said the same.”

Gu Ren’s expression froze. He didn’t expect Ye Zhi to have seen his interview. For a while, he couldn’t find words to refute.

Ye Zhi’s expression clearly showed her happiness for winning the argument. She put down the bowl: “I’m full.”

Gu Ren didn’t back down either: “Not enough.”

The smile on Ye Zhi’s lips waned slightly. She wanted to say that she was still on a diet and could not eat so much. However, Gu Ren’s expression was dead serious and it didn’t seem that he would take no for an answer.

After a minute of silent confrontation, Ye Zhi admitted defeat. “Okay, then.”

Gu Ren immediately added, taking advantage of the situation: “If you faint again, you will turn down this movie and I will pay the liquidated damages for you.”

“During your diet, do what I say.” Gu Ren said, “You can’t lose a lot of weight in a short duration. You need to make sure of your health.”

In the end, Ye Zhi could only agree, making Gu Ren’s mood improve.

After eating another bowl of porridge, Ye Zhi noticed that it was dark outside the window. She was taken aback: “What time is it?”

Gu Ren lowered his head and glanced at his watch: “Eight o’clock in the evening.”

Ye Zhi panicked: “I need to catch another flight in order to attend the recording of the last episode. Can I do that?”

Ye Zhi looked at Gu Ren cautiously. Her voice was low and her nervousness was beyond words.

She didn’t know why she asked for Gu Ren’s consent. His feelings seemed extremely important to him.

“Yes…” Gu Ren answered.

After getting Gu Ren’s consent, Ye Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Zhi was about to get up, rush to the airport, and book the earliest flight so that she could fully catch up with the recording of the show.

“But…” Gu Ren suddenly said, “You can only take the flight tomorrow morning.”
