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

Chapter 118

Just then, the ward door opened, and the first thing to appear was a dog's head. A dog walked in with an extremely arrogant attitude.

It was Mino, looking down at me with elegant strides, but the look in her eyes was somewhat critical, and my lips twitched slightly.

Then he saw his master behind him, Gu Jinhuai.

Mino had a good memory. When he saw Song Yuan, his eyes narrowed and flashed with a cold light. His stomach rumbled, and he braced himself with his front paws, locking onto his target, which was Song Yuan.

I knew from my past life that Mino was very smart, but also very vengeful.

Song Yuan wasn't stupid either. When Mino was about to attack, she was very close to me, a dark light flashing in her eyes. Just as Mino attacked, she took a long stride and hid directly behind me.

Mino missed her target, braced herself with her feet, and glared fiercely at Song Yuan, but when she saw me, a hint of resentment appeared in her eyes.

I thought I was seeing things. Song Yuan's hand was gripping my arm tightly. I frowned instinctively, a hint of displeasure in my expression. I shook off her grip and dodged to the side.

The next moment, I only saw a white shadow flash by, followed by Song Yuan's exclamation.

"Brother Jinhuai, I'm scared. Please let Mino leave quickly."

When I looked over, Song Yuan was tackled to the ground by Mino. Although the dog wasn't very big, Song Yuan seemed genuinely frightened. Her eyes were bloodshot, her whole body was trembling, and even her face was flushed.

I could tell something was wrong, but Gu Jinhuai hadn't said anything, and I didn't want to say anything either. If something happened, it wouldn't concern me.

Finally, the more I looked, the more something seemed wrong. Song Yuan seemed to be having difficulty breathing, and her wet eyes were looking this way, or more accurately, staring at Gu Jinhuai.

"Is she sick?"

I asked.

"Hmm, respiratory illness, afraid of hair."

I didn't expect Gu Jinhuai to answer, but when I heard his words, my pupils widened in surprise.

I didn't expect Song Yuan to have this kind of problem.

"If you don't do anything, she's going to die."

I don't care whether Song Yuan lives or dies, but she absolutely cannot have anything happen to me.

Given the Song family's track record, Gu Jinhuai wouldn't dare offend them; he'd only cause trouble for me.

"So, are you feeling better now?"

Gu Jinhuai showed no panic or anxiety on his face. He looked at Song Yuan as if she were a dead person. His words shocked not only me, but even Song Yuan, who was struggling to breathe and clutching her neck, was shocked.

"If I'm not satisfied and you don't do anything, what if she dies?"

I'm very curious why Gu Jinhuai doesn't care at all about Song Yuan's precarious life right now.

This is not like him.

"If you die, you will die."

Gu Jinhuai's eyes remained completely calm, and his tone was frighteningly quiet.

Even Song Yuan, who was lying on the ground, stared at Gu Jinhuai in disbelief, stunned in place.

Death loomed overhead, and Song Yuan felt this was the only time she had ever come close to death.

"You're talking so casually. If something happens to her here, I'll be the one who suffers. I haven't even graduated yet. Why don't you just find another place to bury her?"

Upon hearing my words, a flicker of emotion crossed Gu Jinhuai's eyes, as if he hadn't expected me to say that.

I noticed his probing gaze, and with a slight smirk, I said in a deliberately sinister tone, "What, are you scared, or too afraid, or are you feeling sorry for me?"

The next moment, I was flicked hard on the forehead by the man.

"Hiss..." I instinctively covered my forehead, my eyes welling up with tears.

"What are you thinking? We live in a society governed by the rule of law."

Suddenly, Gu Jinhuai moved closer to me, whispered in my ear, his voice clear and slightly joking: "If you really can't stand it, we can settle it secretly. I'll handle it. But she came in openly from the outside, so it's not convenient to start a fight."

I felt a deep, electric-like voice travel through my entire body from my eardrums. I instinctively shivered and tried to keep my distance from him, but he grabbed my wrist and wrapped his large hand around my waist, though with very light force, as if he had some reservations.

"Mino".

Gu Jinhuai called out, and Mino was about to scratch Song Yuan's face. She resisted silently for a few seconds, but when she noticed her master's cold gaze, she reluctantly withdrew her claws and walked arrogantly toward Gu Jinhuai. When she saw me beside him, her eyes showed a hint of disdain.

I gritted my teeth, looked at Gu Jinhuai, and said meaningfully, "Your dog is just like you."

Gu Jinhuai didn't understand what I meant by that. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he still had the doctor take the unconscious Song Yuan away.

Song Yuan fell into a coma in the hospital, alarming the Song family and causing another round of chaos, but with Gu Jinhuai around, no one dared to bother me.

I breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the bed to rest. Mino, who was next to me, tilted her head and looked at me lying on the bed. She then copied my posture, curled up on the floor, and snuggled up next to me.

I just thought its posture was a bit funny, and suddenly a wicked thought arose in my mind, so I did a few extremely difficult moves.

Although Mino was very clever, he was not good at performing certain poses because his legs were not flexible enough. In the end, he did a split on his hind legs and fell to the ground with a thud.

Looking at its comical appearance, I couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Hahaha, Mino, you're so silly~"

Mino seemed to hear my mockery, baring his teeth at me and perking up his ears, looking like he wanted to fight me.

"You little brat, you think I'm afraid of you?"

I was itching to teach it a lesson.

The man sitting on the sofa, working diligently, suddenly looked up from the screen, glanced at the man and dog about to fight, and felt a throbbing in his temple.

Finally, he fixed his gaze on Mino and said in a deep voice, "Mino."

After calling its name, Mino turned around and glanced at Gu Jinhuai.

"Don't hurt her."

It was just four words, but it carried a warning.

Instantly, Mino's ears drooped, she gave Gu Jinhuai a mournful look, and obediently lay down on the ground, while her tail kept wagging back and forth.

He pounded the ground, as if venting his frustration.

The smile on my face froze for a few seconds after hearing Gu Jinhuai's words, and then disappeared.

It wasn't until I noticed Gu Jinhuai's gaze that I subconsciously looked back.

"What do you want for dinner?"

I glanced at the chilly weather outside the window and replied without hesitation, "Hot pot."

"No."

Before I could even feel happy, before the smile on my face could even bloom, it was nipped in the bud.

Gu Jinhuai was concise, but once he made a decision, no one could refute it.

Gu Jinhuai seemed to notice my displeasure and realized the harshness in his tone just now, so he explained, "Ahem... the doctor said you can't eat spicy food."

"Then I won't eat the spicy one, I'll eat the tomato one, okay?"

I didn't realize that, unknowingly, one of my sentences was a form of coquetry.

This also caused cracks to slowly appear in Gu Jinhuai's dormant heart. As the sunlight shone down, it was as if a seed was slowly sprouting in his heart.

Seeing the pleading look in my eyes, Gu Jinhuai finally didn't stop me. He rolled his hands together and said in a clear, pleasant voice, "Okay."

"Okay!"

I haven't had hot pot in a long time. Although this one is tomato flavored, it's good to have something to eat.

I glanced at Mino, who was still lying listlessly on the ground, bent down, and gently stroked its back.

"Mino, we have hot pot! It's your favorite, so don't be angry anymore!"

Gu Jinhuai watched my skillful movements, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes. Coupled with my words, the unsolvable problem in his heart seemed to crumble at this moment.

Mino seemed to understand what I was saying. She lay comfortably on the ground, letting me "massage" her, and made soft, comfortable noises.

Gu Jinhuai watched my actions, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he stared at me quietly.

I noticed his intense gaze and paused in touching Mino's hand.

My heart was in my throat. Apart from Gu Jinhuai, few others knew how to make Mino rest more comfortably, especially after what I had just done.

Did he figure something out?

My mind was racing with thoughts. When I looked up, my face was completely expressionless: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Mino is hostile to strangers, but it likes you very much."

Gu Jinhuai's eyes were deep, as if he could see right through my heart.

I grinned and said cheerfully, "It's alright, I guess. Maybe it's because I've seen it before and I rescued it. After all, I used to work in a pet store."

I tried to explain, but Gu Jin just smiled without saying a word, which gave me the creeps.

I finally got out of bed and said, "I'm hungry, I'm going to eat hot pot first."
