That day, in the early dawn, Gu Jiangnian was roused from his sleep by Hei Chi's urgent voice, and in an instant, all trace of sleepiness was gone.
At the end of June, it had rained twice in a row, and Yu Se, who had always been in poor health, tended to get minor illnesses with each change of season. Gu Jiangnian knew this and usually took great care to admonish her about it.

"I'll have a look," Gu Jiangnian said as he headed in and saw Fang Ming standing by the bed changing the IV bottle.
