Jiang Jiang raised her eyes and looked at Gu Yanqing. Only then did she realize that although Gu Yanqing appeared calm, his forehead was covered with sweat.

So it’s not that it doesn’t hurt, but that he is able to endure it.

"It'll be fine soon."

Jiang Jiang took a deep breath and began to apply medicine to Gu Yanqing quickly, and then carefully helped him bandage the wound again.

"There shouldn't be any problem this time."

After doing all this, Jiang Jiang took a deep breath. Only now did she notice that her palms were covered with sweat without her realizing it.

It’s okay, it’s no big deal. She’s not the one who got hurt anyway.

"Let me wipe your sweat off."

Jiang Jiang tried to divert her attention, took out her silk handkerchief from Gu Yanqing's hand, and carefully wiped the sweat from Gu Yanqing's forehead.

Uncle Ping had quietly left the room at some point.

In the narrow little room, only Jiang Jiang and Gu Yanqing were left.

"I have a gift for you."

Originally, there were only the sounds of two people breathing in the room, but suddenly, Gu Yanqing's voice broke the silence in the room.

"Ok?"

Jiang Jiang was stunned and looked at Gu Yanqing in surprise.

Gu Yanqing leaned slightly to the side on the bed and took out a small box from under the pillow with his left hand.

"I was planning to give it to you tomorrow, but now... I have to give it to you in advance." Gu Yanqing held the small box in front of Jiang Jiang and smiled gently, "Happy birthday, Jiang Jiang. I hope you can accept this... early blessing from me."

Jiang Jiang looked at the small box in front of her. She didn't expect that this guy actually prepared a gift for her.

I guess he still has some conscience.

"Thank you." Jiang Jiang happily took the box and opened it impatiently. There was a silk handkerchief quietly placed inside.

Ok?

Jiang Jiang took out the silk handkerchief and looked at it. The style of the handkerchief was simple, and the feel and texture... were exactly the same as the one Li Ping'an gave her.

Is this kind of thing popular in Beijing now?

"Do you like it?" Gu Yanqing's voice rang in Jiang Jiang's ears again: "Time is short, and I haven't prepared any expensive gifts..."

"I like it very much, thank you."

Jiang Jiang smiled brightly. It was always a good thing to receive a gift.

And she also understood that Gu Yanqing's current personality was "Yan Chong", so he naturally couldn't come up with a very expensive gift.

Otherwise, wouldn’t his image be ruined right away?

"Then you can use this new silk handkerchief."

Gu Yanqing took the old silk handkerchief from Jiang Jiang's hand and said, "Here...you just wiped my sweat, why don't you give it to me?"

"You..." Jiang Jiang glared at Gu Yanqing. "You agreed to give me a gift, so why do you give one away and then take one back? Wouldn't that put me at a disadvantage?"

"Well...after I recover from my injury, I will give you another gift to compensate you. What do you think?" Gu Yanqing raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Jiang with a smile on his face.

"You sound nice, but a silk handkerchief is nothing, it's just..."

Jiang Jiang hesitated and said, "This handkerchief was given to me by someone else. It doesn't seem right for me to give it away. If you want, I can buy you a new one someday."

It’s just a handkerchief. Jiang Jiang can still afford it.

After hearing Jiang Jiang's words, Gu Yanqing returned the old handkerchief to her and said meaningfully, "You really should cherish the things given to you by others."

"Of course. A small gift may be a token of sentiment." Jiang Jiang replied casually.

She is a very loyal person. No matter what the gift is, as long as it is given by a friend, she will never give it to someone else casually.

but……

In fact, Jiang Jiang still prefers expensive gifts in her heart, gold and silver notes are the best.

[Jiang Jiang: That's right, I'm such a superficial woman. Please don't be so careless as to corrupt me with money~]

"I have to go back to Liuquan Lane today, so I won't stay here with you. I'll come back the day after tomorrow and see you again."

Jiang Jiang glanced at Gu Yanqing lying on the bed, and before leaving, she couldn't help but remind him, "You must change the dressing frequently these days, and keep the wound clean and dry."

"understood."

Gu Yanqing kept smiling and watched Jiang Jiang leave until Jiang Jiang's figure disappeared. The smile on Gu Yanqing's face gradually disappeared.

"Son."

Uncle Ping appeared again at this time.

"Miss Jiang Jiang, she doesn't have any doubts, right?" Uncle Ping asked.

"No." Gu Yanqing had already stood up at this time. The weakness on his handsome face was gone, and his whole aura changed in an instant.

"I still have some government affairs to deal with, so I have to go back immediately." Gu Yanqing said as he began to put on his coat. His injured right arm was now able to move freely.

Uncle Ping stood aside, hesitant to speak.

As if sensing Uncle Ping's anxiety, Gu Yanqing spoke again: "Don't worry, this little injury is nothing."

"But... the wound is too deep, so we still have to be careful."

Uncle Ping couldn't help but speak up in the end. He only needed to pretend, so why did the young master... have to hurt himself like this?

He doesn't understand.

"The wound is too shallow, Jiang Jiang will become suspicious." Gu Yanqing said casually.

Although there was no evidence, Gu Yanqing always felt that Jiang Jiang's attitude towards him had changed slightly recently.

In order to dispel all her doubts, Gu Yanqing had carefully prepared a self-torture plan, but unfortunately it was ruined by a group of gangsters last night.

but……

The results now are not bad.

**

When Jiang Jiang returned to Muwa Lane, Xiaotao had already arranged the things she had bought today into categories.

"Miss, you're back! Is your friend okay?" Xiao Tao walked forward and asked curiously.

"It's okay, he won't die yet."

Jiang Jiang answered casually, but her mind couldn't help but think of the deep wound on Gu Yanqing's right arm that could be seen to the bone -

This guy is really cruel.

Now she was a little nervous. What if Gu Yanqing revealed his true colors one day and stopped pretending? How could she defeat him?

In terms of martial arts, he is N levels higher than me.

In terms of power, he is the left prime minister who has the greatest power in the court!

On IQ...

Jiang Jiang rubbed his temples.

It's over.

She couldn't beat Gu Yanqing in any aspect.

If one day his true intentions are revealed, would she pretend to be pitiful and cry and beg Gu Yanqing to let her go?

No.

Instead of expecting others to let you go, it is better to work hard to save yourself.

Speaking of which, what secrets does Gu Yanqing hold? If he has a system, what kind of system is it?

He went to such great lengths to get close to her that he even resorted to self-harm.

What does he want...?

Jiang Jiang secretly clenched his fists——

I have to work harder and be more competitive than him.

She definitely couldn't do something like self-harm, but she could take advantage of Gu Yanqing's injury to show concern for him and visit him every day. Maybe she could find some clues?
