Waiting for a Person Whose Return Date Was Unknown (19)

Gu Yusheng was so dehydrated from being drunk that he had tried to get himself some water.

He was fortunate that he hadn't scalded himself when he filled the glass with boiling water. Qin Zhi'ai wasn't going to watch him try to pour himself another glass. Although he didn't seem to hear her, she continued speaking to him gently. "Let me help you to the sofa to get some rest. I'll get you some water in a while, okay?"

With that, she supported him as they walked into the living room to the sofa, where he sunk into the upholstery.

Qin Zhi'ai quickly went to get a cup of warm water and then returned to give it to Gu Yusheng.

His fingers trembled as he drank from the cup, spilling some water on himself.

Afraid that he would drop the cup, Qin Zhi'ai quickly took it back from him and helped him hold it to his lips. In his stupor, Gu Yusheng obediently gulped down the water.
