He is too well-behaved

Chapter 74. Okay, I won't touch you

　　Shen Gusi's feet were wrapped in thick gauze. After the nurse taped them with medical tape, she stood up, clapped her hands, and said to Xu Jiashen, "Okay, don't get wet for now."

　　"Is it all right now?" Xu Jiashen was a little unconvinced and grabbed the nurse to stop her from leaving: "Please check again carefully to make sure you didn't miss anything?"

　　"I'm a nurse, not a doctor. His wound just looks a little scary, but it's no big deal. I have other things waiting to be dealt with." The nurse pried Xu Jiashen's hands open.

　　"But what if there is something you didn't see carefully? He walked barefoot on the ground for so long, and the injury was so serious, could you just take care of it?" Xu Jiashen insisted.

　　The nurse was too lazy to talk to him any more. She rolled her eyes at him, shook her head and walked out.

　　Alas, he is a handsome guy, but why does he look mentally ill?

　　The door closed with a "click", and Xu Jiashen came back to his senses and looked at Shen Gusi who was sitting on the stool.

　　He walked over, and the silence between the two of them made him not know how to start the conversation.

　　"Gugu." Xu Jiashen licked his dry lips and said, "I know about grandma's matter. I'm very sorry. I have asked someone to take care of it. I will find a place to bury her properly. You don't have to worry."

　　Shen Gusi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then there was no other reaction.

　　Xu Jiashen thought that Shen Gusi was too sad, so he didn't want to speak.

　　"Don't be too sad." Xu Jiashen comforted. He knew that Shen Gusi must be feeling bad right now, but unfortunately he could do nothing and couldn't share his burden. The only thing he could do was to say some comforting words.

　　Shen Gusi's skin was almost transparent, sickly white, as if it would vanish in the next second, like fine sand flowing between the fingertips, impossible to hold.

　　He had thin shoulders and looked skinny, his hair was as messy as dead grass, and there was no light in his dull eyes.

　　Xu Jiashen felt heartbroken.

　　He wanted to hug Shen Gusi tightly in his arms, but when he stretched out his hand, he suddenly paused, with his hand hanging in the air without a gift.

　　He was afraid that Shen Gusi would resist him, and that his embrace would not only fail to give him peace of mind and support, but would instead make him struggle or even run away.

　　Xu Jiashen had seen Shen Gusi leave too many times. Time and time again, the more he wanted to hold on to her, the more decisively Shen Gusi left.

　　He even suspected that it was his actions that made Shen Gusi think that he was forcing him to leave.

　　Xu Jiashen put down his hand.

　　No matter how deep his desire for Shen Gusi was, Xu Jiashen could only suppress such impulse.

　　He said he wanted to change.

　　"Let's go home, okay?" Xu Jiashen asked softly.

　　Shen Gusi was dazed. He didn't say yes, nor did he shake his head.

　　"Your foot is injured, so I have to hold you first. Tell me if it makes you uncomfortable."

　　When Xu Jiashen picked up Shen Gusi, he was afraid that Shen Gusi would struggle after realizing it.
