Defrosting The Cold Young Master-Chapter 1960 - 1964: You’re Impressive! You Win

She suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, her body completely drained of energy. Leaning against the wall, she slid down to the floor.

Her heart beat faster, breaths came in rapid gasps, cold sweat dripped incessantly, and a strong sense of impending doom overwhelmed her.

Her low blood sugar problem had flared up.

With great difficulty, she took out her phone and with trembling fingers, dialed Gu Junzhu’s number.

The call was quickly connected, and Gu Junzhu’s voice came through the receiver, "Hello, Beibei?" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"I... I..." Ye Xingbei said weakly, "My low blood sugar is acting up. Can you bring me some chocolate?"

Ye Xingbei heard a commotion on the other end of the line, followed by Gu Junzhu’s urgent voice, "Where are you right now?"

Ye Xingbei struggled to say, "Just outside Xiao Shu’s bedroom."

Gu Junzhu said, "I’ll be right there!"

The small building wasn’t very big, and one or two minutes later, Gu Junzhu rushed to Ye Xingbei’s side.

He already had the chocolate unwrapped in his hand. After putting it into Ye Xingbei’s mouth, he held her in his embrace.

Ye Xingbei lay in his arms, swallowing several pieces of chocolate in succession, and the feeling of impending doom gradually faded away.

"I had someone check," Gu Junzhu said, stroking her hair, "There’s no cure for low blood sugar; you just have to be careful and always keep some candy or chocolate with you."

"I know," Ye Xingbei murmured in his arms, "It hasn’t happened in a long time..."

"I know," Gu Junzhu kissed her, "The last time it happened was also in Jiang City..."

He chuckled, "So speaking of it, Jiang City really isn’t a good place. We’ll stay here for a few days until Xiao Shumiao and Lingyue have had their fun, then we’ll leave. Other than visiting your parents’ graves, we won’t come here again."

Ye Xingbei smiled and nodded, "Mm, as you say."

"We’ve been eating well these past few days, so why did the low blood sugar suddenly act up?" Gu Junzhu looked down at her, "I remember last time it happened because I told you about your true background..."

"I... I don’t know what’s going on... Low blood sugar can come on just like that, without reason or rhyme. There’s no particular cause." Ye Xingbei, afraid that her expression would give her away, buried her face in Gu Junzhu’s chest, not daring to look at him.

At that moment, she felt very conflicted inside.

She had sworn to Bai Mengluan that she wouldn’t tell Gu Junzhu about the deal between her and Bai Mengluan.

But she was lost in her own thoughts and feeling deeply troubled.

"Beibei, what’s really going on?" Gu Junzhu lifted her chin, meeting her eyes, "Don’t hide it from me. Have you forgotten what I used to do? I can see immediately when something is wrong with your emotions."

Ye Xingbei avoided his gaze, "I’m unwell and feeling emotional; isn’t that normal?"

"No, it’s not normal," Gu Junzhu said, "When you’re unwell, you don’t react like this. Your current reaction shows something is on your mind."

"You can even see that?" At such a tense and restless moment, Ye Xingbei was almost amused by him.

"Of course," Gu Junzhu pinched her chin, "I’m not an ordinary person, so whatever it is, say it sooner rather than later. Don’t keep it from me, otherwise... there will be consequences!"

Ye Xingbei scoffed and glanced at him, "I’m hiding it from you; what can you do? Are you going to resort to domestic violence?"

"No, I won’t use domestic violence," Gu Junzhu nibbled on her ear lobe, "I’ll deal with you in bed tonight..."

Ye Xingbei: "... You’re amazing! You win."
