After seven years of being a "simp," she's reborn and no longer pursuing the aloof sc

Chapter 111

"You can run fast."

I reached up and rubbed my cheek, only to find that Gu Jinhuai was staring at my face.

I pinched my cheek awkwardly, my gaze unfocused, and I didn't dare to look him in the eye.

"What are you looking at?"

Gu Jinhuai slowly withdrew his gaze, his thumb and forefinger resting on his knees gently rubbing together, as if reminiscing about the sensation from just now.

"It's made of white porcelain; it breaks at the slightest touch."

Gu Jinhuai looked at me; my pale face flushed red just from being pinched.

The air was silent. I felt the man's intense gaze and looked away in alarm.

This is the first time we've gotten along so peacefully.

I fiddled with my fingers, thinking of the injury on his back, and asked, "Are you alright?"

Gu Jinhuai raised his eyebrows slightly. I stared at the smile on his face and felt that he was about to say something bad. Just as I was about to stop him, I saw him unbuttoning his shirt one button at a time.

My pupils dilated in surprise, and I quickly stopped them: "What are you doing?"

The man didn't stop because of my words. He slowly unbuttoned his shirt, his dark eyes fixed on me. He said, "You slept all day. When Xie Qin brought you here, I was just about to go find a doctor to apply medicine, but you came, so I stayed here. Now that you're awake, shouldn't you apply medicine for me?"

Before he finished speaking, the man had already taken off his outer garment. Gu Jinhuai pulled me up, glanced at the hand with the needle in it, his brows furrowed, but quickly relaxed.

"I'm sorry to trouble you to apply the medicine with your left hand, Madam."

Looking at him, I thought to myself: So guys can be this sleazy.

"No, I have a headache, it's probably from a cold. You should see a doctor."

I tried to break free from his hand and lie down to rest, but the man seemed to read my mind. He grabbed my waist and said irritably, "How can you be so heartless, madam? At this hour, the doctor has long since left work. I missed the time to apply the medicine because of you."

"There are also nurses on duty; you can ask them for help."

I tilted my head back and stepped back to keep my distance from him, placing my hands on his chest.

Soon, the temperature in my palm rose, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw a patch of white skin and a strong chest. My Adam's apple bobbed, and my ears and cheeks flushed red.

Gu Jinhuai witnessed the entire scene.

It seems that the temptation that Swie mentioned isn't entirely unacceptable.

"The hospital is already packed with patients, and the nurses on duty are busy enough. Let's not make things worse, Madam, what do you think?"

Gu Jinhuai deliberately moved closer to my ear, his warm breath like an electric current, sending shivers down my spine.

Finally, watching him get closer and closer, I gave up, closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay, I'll help you, just stay away from me."

In the end, my face flushed, I simply closed my eyes, tilted my head back, my eyelashes trembled slightly, and a tear still clung to my eye.

Gu Jinhuai knew that he should stop now, lest he scare the person away.

"Thank you for your hard work, ma'am."

Gu Jinhuai slowly released his hand, loosening his grip slightly, but still keeping it wrapped around his neck.

I slowly opened my eyes, looked at the man retreating in front of me, breathed a sigh of relief, and could still feel my heart pounding.

"You, you turn around."

I kept my head down, not daring to look at him. I don't know why, but I was still very nervous, and my tongue almost tied itself when I spoke.

After a while, a man's low chuckle sounded from above.

I was furious at his mockery. I looked up, but my gaze went past him to look behind me. I stiffened my neck and said, "Turn around right now, or I'll have someone else apply the medicine for you."

"Oh."

Gu Jinhuai responded softly, obediently picked up the first-aid kit, turned around and sat on the edge of the bed, placing his hands on his thighs.

I opened the first-aid kit, and as soon as I lifted my eyelids, I saw the wounds on Gu Jinhuai's back. They were crisscrossed and numerous. Although it looked like he had already seen a doctor, the sight of the scarlet wounds was still terrifying.

I couldn't help but gasp, my eyes reddening and mist rising in my eyes.

I know his mother is not someone to be trifled with, she's very domineering and has the final say, but she could be so cruel to her own son, just because of him?

In an instant, I felt as if a huge stone was pressing down on my heart, making it hard to breathe.

"what happened?"

Gu Jinhuai waited for a long time, but there was no response from behind. Just as he was about to turn around, I pressed down on his shoulder.

"do not move."

Luckily, I had a cold, so my voice didn't arouse his suspicion.

I quickly composed myself and began carefully applying the medicine and bandaging the wound.

Gu Jinhuai's gaze fell on the glass, on two blurry figures. To be precise, all his attention was focused on the figure in the back. Although it was just a blurry outline, it was enough to fascinate him for a long time.

"All right."

I don't know how much time passed before I finally spoke.

"Thank you ma'am."

Gu Jinhuai maintained a smile throughout, but when he turned around, he noticed the marks on my eyes. Although they had been well covered up, he still noticed them.

As the man drew closer, I suddenly panicked and kept backing away. My gaze fell on the IV drip, and I immediately pointed at it and said, "It's finished."

Gu Jinhuai glanced at it, pressed the bell, and soon a nurse came in and removed the needle from my arm.

I pressed the needle mark on the back of my hand. The nurse left, and the ward fell silent again. I looked around, but my gaze never fell on Gu Jinhuai.

"You just cried."

After a moment, Gu Jinhuai suddenly spoke up, bringing the topic back to what had just been discussed.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I felt that there was a hint of joy in his voice.

I lowered my head and remained silent for a moment, then looked up at him and asked, "Why are you going against her? If it's just out of spite, there's no need for that. You could find a woman who is your equal."

I'll come and act alongside you.

I kept the last few words to myself.

Even now, you still think I'm just acting.

Gu Jinhuai seemed to laugh in anger.

As I listened to his gritted teeth, I suddenly looked up and saw the man's deep gaze, revealing a hint of anger, approaching me.

"I just want to say it's not worth it."

I lowered my eyes, not wanting to upset him, otherwise I would be the one who suffered.

I spoke the last three words very softly, and then I lowered my head and stopped talking.

Anyway, I don't like it anymore, so doing all this is pointless.

"Who says it's not worth it? As long as I like it, then it is worth it."

Gu Jinhuai walked up to me and cupped my face in one hand.

The man had large hands, which easily cupped my small face in his palms.

I could feel his slightly rough thumb rubbing back and forth on my chin. I couldn't escape and could only let him do as he pleased.

Upon hearing his words, her mind went blank, and she couldn't react.

His voice was deep and magnetic; just hearing it once was pleasant to listen to, and even if he wasn't saying sweet nothings, it was still captivating.

"You like it very much too, don't you, Madam?"

Gu Jinhuai's palm slowly moved down, landing on my heart. I felt my heart pounding, and I felt it too.

With the rhythm of his palm, even through the clothes, I could feel a burning sensation rushing to my heart, and my heart pounded even faster.

I held my breath, trying to calm my heart, but it seemed to be out of control, beating faster and faster.

Even after my face turned red, there was still no reaction.

Gu Jinhuai noticed something was wrong with me, was startled, immediately withdrew his hand, and gently pinched my cheek: "Breathe, you idiot."

I took a deep breath, thinking about the embarrassment I had just experienced, all because of him. I raised my foot to kick him in the leg, but he suddenly stood up and kicked me in the butt.

But for Gu Jinhuai, the force was very light, like a kitten scratching an itch, making him feel unbearably itchy, as if that part of him had been scratched by a cat.

I noticed Gu Jinhuai's gaze was fixed on my feet. My toes curled slightly, and before he could speak, I apologized, "I'm sorry."

Then I lifted the blanket and covered my feet completely. Even so, I could still feel waves of heat coming from my toes, accompanied by a tingling sensation.

I felt annoyed at myself for being so spineless. After a long while, Gu Jinhuai withdrew his gaze, coughed lightly, and asked, "What would you like to eat?"

"casual."

My eyes flickered, glancing at his buttocks every now and then. After hearing the man chuckle, I quickly looked away and lowered my head.

After a while, I heard footsteps gradually fading away. Only when the ward door was closed did I let out a heavy sigh, collapse onto the bed, stare at the ceiling, and my cheeks still flushed involuntarily as I thought about what had just happened.

“Zhou Nanzhi, it was just a kick to the butt, what’s there to be ashamed of? What didn’t you do in your past life?”

I murmured to myself, trying to comfort myself.

Even so, my face still burned uncontrollably.
