Only then did he stand up, brought his laptop in from outside, and placed it on his legs to start working.

He would occasionally glance back at Tang Yuxin, intermittently touching her forehead to check if her temperature was still normal, if she was feverish.
This went on for most of the night, and he did not sleep until the latter part of the night when he finally felt at ease.
He closed his laptop and lay down, quickly falling asleep.
It was around three in the morning; outside, the rain poured heavily, the sound of rain and the wind banging against the windows was audible.
...
It was clear that the storm was much fiercer than he had imagined.
The house here was built with care, taking the windy and rainy climate into consideration.
The materials used in construction were specifically chosen for these conditions so that even if there was a typhoon, it wouldn’t be a big deal, and would not damage the house.
Moreover, he had someone come every year to maintain the house, which had been serviced not long ago.
Therefore, he did not need to worry about the strong wind or heavy rain.
What if the door was blown away?
Go to sleep, Gu Ning thought as he touched Tang Yuxin’s forehead again.
She rolled over, snuggled closer to him, and Gu Ning turned off the lights, leaving only a small lamp on by the bed.
Its dim glow made the items in the room slightly visible.
In case of total darkness, it would be troublesome to search for the light switch if one needed to get up at night.
Soon after, Gu Ning fell asleep, but Tang Yuxin woke up.
She tightened her grip on Gu Ning’s hand and moved closer to him, drawing her body near his.
Feeling his warmth, she knew she was not alone or helpless anymore.
It was a relief to have him there; otherwise, if she had been on her own, she truly wouldn’t have known what to do.
Yet, she felt regret for having involved him.
If she had come here alone, he wouldn’t have had to face this situation.
She couldn’t possibly go out in the heavy rain like a madwoman, shouting at the top of her lungs.
If she really did that, she might indeed be taken to a mental institution.
And if an earthquake really occurred, how would she explain herself?
So, these were the series of events she might face, that she had to face, which arrested her steps right there.
The only thing she could do was save herself and Gu Ning; for everyone else, she could only say sorry.
Yes, sorry, she was powerless.
A hand touched the quilt and gave it a tug.
Tang Yuxin quickly grasped the quilt, turning into a cocoon, and clutched it tightly in her hands.
But the person on the other side was determined to pull the quilt away, and how could Tang Yuxin let him have his way?
Thus, one pulled while the other tugged, and in the end, Tang Yuxin lost.
The quilt was yanked off her head in an instant.
Tang Yuxin sat up, grabbing her hair.
“I want to sleep a bit more.”
“Eat first, then sleep.”
Gu Ning pushed the quilt aside and then pressed her hair down, adding, Are you really sleeping?
Tang Yuxin turned her face away, unwilling to argue with Gu Ning, knowing she couldn’t win.
After putting on her slippers, she scurried to the bathroom.
But upon seeing her hair exploded like a chicken’s feathers, she almost screamed.
Her hair, how had her hairstyle turned out like this?
She quickly grabbed the comb and started delicately arranging her hair.
By the time she came out again, she was once more a dignified and elegant lady, not the crazy woman from moments before.
Gu Ning placed the food he had prepared on the table.
The dishes he made were like that, not exactly delicious but edible.
Tang Yuxin didn’t pick at the food Gu Ning cooked.
It was rare for him to cook; at home, they ate ready-made food, and at the company, there was a cafeteria.
Moreover, for Tang Yuxin’s sake, he had over the years cultivated his own stomach to a fine degree, so it was natural that their meals became more regular.
