Chapter 1852: Chapter 1852: The Adorable Student vs. The Gorgeous Teacher (Part 39)
Song Ruanruan still felt a bit strange holding the phone. She glanced back at Gu Shengyin, who was lying in bed, and wondered to herself when did Mengmeng and Teacher Guan become so close?
This hospital was the closest one to University A, so Guan Hanting arrived quickly.
He pushed the door open, and Song Ruanruan hurriedly stood up and called out, "Teacher Guan."
Guan Hanting’s attention was completely captivated by the person lying in the bed.
The girl who had smiled sweetly at him just last week was now quietly lying in bed.
There was an abnormal flush on her face, clearly caused by a fever.
Her normally rosy lips were unusually pale, and this fragile appearance was the first time Guan Hanting had seen on Gu Shengyin.
As a doctor, Guan Hanting had seen all kinds of patients.
Many were in far worse condition than Gu Shengyin, but none had ever made him feel this way.
Heartache.
If he wasn’t mistaken, this peculiar aching in his chest was what people called heartache.
Song Ruanruan stood quietly on the side, watching the man who hadn’t looked at her even once since entering the room.
Guan Hanting’s expression seemed unchanged from usual, yet Song Ruanruan curiously sensed that this man seemed to be in a bad mood.
The way he acted wasn’t like a typical teacher toward a student.
Could it be that these two were really in a romantic relationship?
At this moment, the thought struck Song Ruanruan out of place.
Guan Hanting suddenly turned his head, startling Song Ruanruan.
"How is she doing?" he asked.
Song Ruanruan instinctively replied, "She was brought to the hospital this morning, had an injection, and a nurse came by just now and said her condition is under control. Mengmeng should wake up by the afternoon."
Guan Hanting nodded.
He said nothing more, simply lowering his eyes to quietly gaze at the girl in the bed.
Song Ruanruan inexplicably felt a bit redundant.
She made an excuse, "I’ll go get some hot water."
With that, she quickly opened the door and left, leaving the room for the two of them.
Guan Hanting maintained his previous stance, quietly watching the girl sleeping with her eyes closed. After a while, he finally moved toward the bed.
He sat down next to it.
From this vantage, he could see Gu Shengyin more directly.
Guan Hanting could even clearly see her lips, cracked from the fever and dehydration.
Her eyes were tightly shut, and her long eyelashes rested quietly against her eyelids like two delicate little fans, exuding a sense of peacefulness.
Guan Hanting used a clean medical cotton swab to moisten her lips with some water.
Having never done this before, a drop of water accidentally rolled down from Gu Shengyin’s lips as the swab was removed.
Guan Hanting instinctively reached out to wipe it away, but inadvertently brushed against something soft.
His hand froze.
It was Gu Shengyin’s lips.
His gaze darkened as he looked at the person on the bed and, after a long moment, tentatively moved his fingers upward—
He lightly tapped her lips with his soft fingertips.
Gu Shengyin felt like she was dreaming.
It seemed as if she was in a very hot place, feeling unbearably warm all over.
And at this moment, something cool moved across her lips, the sensation like having an ice cream suddenly appear on a scorching summer day.
Instinctively, she opened her mouth and licked it.
