As soon as Ye Zhi returned to the courtyard where she lived in Prince Yi's Mansion, she entered her room without caring whether Gong Juechen was there or not, and laid down on the bed without undressing, not moving an inch.
Once in bed, Ye Zhi genuinely felt much more comfortable, but the soreness persisted, making her really not want to move at all, fearing any motion would cause more pain.
She closed her eyes and felt like sleeping.
But at this moment, Gong Juechen came to the bedside and asked her, "Zhizhi, are you thirsty? Do you want to drink some water?"
"No."
"Not thirsty?"
"It's not that; I just don't want to move." From the time she left in the morning until now, she hadn't drunk a sip of water, and her lips were dry. How could she not be thirsty?
"Then I'll pour it for you." Saying this, Gong Juechen hurried to pour a cup of water for Ye Zhi, then brought it to the bedside for her to drink. "Zhizhi, it's ready. Here."
