Their tent was not a single-person tent.
Instead, it was a larger tent that could accommodate three or four people, much like a small room.
The ground was simply covered with a layer of woolen blanket.
Even under these circumstances, Xia Yangyang did not want to stay in a tent with Gu Zhaohan, feeling only awkwardness.
Xia Yangyang got up, took a cup of hot water, and stepped out of the tent.
Gu Zhaohan was standing outside the tent.
Now, Gu Zhaohan indeed looked a bit different from his usual self.
Gone was the white lab coat, and the suit had been removed as well.
He was merely dressed in casual clothes.
But he was no longer the aloof, white-dressed young man of before.
Even in casual wear, Gu Zhaohan exuded a temperament that was still steady and restrained.
Xia Yangyang offered the thermos to Gu Zhaohan, “Would you like some water?”
Gu Zhaohan took the thermos, holding it in his hands, but did not drink.
Xia Yangyang sighed, “You shouldn’t have come here for me.”
Xia Yangyang wasn’t going to pretend she didn’t know.
It was clear that Gu Zhaohan had come because of her.
The feelings in her heart were indescribable.
In fact, she was quite touched.
This was the front line; as journalists, their profession granted them a duty to remain detached.
But Gu Zhaohan wasn’t obligated to do so.
He was not even a doctor now but a businessman.
“I’m worried about you,” Gu Zhaohan said, looking into Xia Yangyang’s eyes, making no attempt to hide his emotions.
Xia Yangyang spoke, “Gu Zhaohan, no matter how good you are to me, I can’t give you any response. You know what happened last time at the hospital. I’ve promised your mother not to see you again, because to me, you were just Xia Ye’s doctor in the past, and now you’ve left Novi, Xia Ye doesn’t need you anymore, you are of no utilitarian value to me.”
Xia Yangyang felt a complex conflict within her.
Gu Zhaohan had come all this way to find her, yet she told him such hurtful words.
But it was precisely because Gu Zhaohan had recklessly come all this way that Xia Yangyang realized he was much more obsessive than she had imagined.
Xia Yangyang also didn’t want Gu Zhaohan to stay in such a dangerous place because of her.
So when Xia Yangyang said these things, she was actually trying to provoke Gu Zhaohan, to make him want to leave, to make him feel… that it simply wasn’t worth doing all these things for her.

Gu Zhaohan’s expression barely changed, “So, you’ve been using me all along?”
Xia Yangyang steeled her heart, “Yes, I’ve been using you all this time.”
“Then continue to use me. Actually, I still have great utilitarian value. For example, I’m investing in the development of new drugs in Yao City; one day I may find a drug that can completely cure Xia Ye’s condition.”
Xia Yangyang hadn’t expected the aloof and lofty Gu Zhaohan to utter such humble words.
Xia Yangyang didn’t even know what to say for a moment.
“Anyway, hurry back. What are you doing here? Everyone knows you are my nephew, and there’s no sense in a nephew coming to find his aunt like this.”
Gu Zhaohan’s voice was faint, “Sooner or later, everyone will find out we’re not related in that way.”
“Gu Zhaohan, what are you…”
Seeing Xia Yangyang looking somewhat angrily confused, Gu Zhaohan smiled, “Didn’t you hear what your assistant said just now? There’s been a landslide outside, the road is blocked; people can’t come in from outside, and those inside can’t get out either. Even if I wanted to leave now, there’s no way.”
Yes, in the current situation, wanting to leave was impossible.
