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

Chapter 134

Gu Jinhuai looked at me, his brows furrowed, and his cold eyes held a hint of helplessness.

This is my business. If I can't even make decisions for myself, who else can help me?

I took a deep breath and encouraged myself: "I can do it."

I didn't realize that just a moment ago Gu Jinhuai was holding my hand, but now I was holding his hand in return, and my palms were sweaty.

I only glanced at it before looking away, but I remembered it instantly.

Inside were still prosthetic limbs, all blood red, looking terrifying. There was a faint smell of blood in the air. Unlike last time, this time they were real.

My pupils dilated in shock, my whole body trembled, I swallowed hard, and my voice was so faint that it seemed like it would disappear in the next second: "This time it's blood, human blood."

"you sure?"

Instantly, Gu Jinhuai's expression turned even more unpleasant. He helped me sit down to the side, and noticing that my palms were ice-cold, he draped his coat over my shoulders.

Although he could smell the blood, he thought the other party had leveled up and brought pig's blood and duck's blood, but he didn't expect it to be human blood.

"I'm sure, I'm a medical student, of course I can tell. These fingers can't be real, can they?"

A bad thought flashed through my mind. I didn't dare look at what was inside. My stomach churned, and I couldn't help but gag. Finally, I ran straight to the bathroom to vomit.

Gu Jinhuai glanced at the contents of the box and quickly ran to the bathroom to comfort me.

Seeing my red eyes and pale face, my hardened heart softened instantly. I stretched out my long arm and gently pulled myself into my arms, softly comforting me: "Don't be afraid, it's okay."

I gripped his clothes tightly with both hands, feeling dazed and inexplicably tired.

I gritted my teeth, my anger raging: Who on earth is it?

Gu Jinhuai felt my trembling and thought I was scared, so he gently patted my back and comforted me in a low voice.

I don't know how much time passed, but I felt at ease, my eyelids drooped, and I actually fell asleep.

Gu Jinhuai carried me to the bed, covered me with the blanket, and put away the delivery box. Seeing that I wasn't sleeping very soundly, he didn't leave but stayed by my side.

I wasn't ready to leave until I was completely asleep, but my fingers were still tightly gripped.

"No, don't leave me."

I don't know what nightmare I had, my voice was soft, my pale face showed a hint of brokenness, my slightly damp eyelashes trembled, tears slid down my cheeks, but the strength in my grip on his fingers did not lessen in the slightest.

Looking at the vulnerable and helpless appearance of the person on the bed, Gu Jinhuai's heart softened.

A large hand gently stroked my delicate cheek, its fingertips lightly tracing my eyebrows and eyes with care and devotion.

I didn't fall asleep until late at night.

The next morning, I felt groggy and vaguely remembered dreaming of Gu Jinhuai's cold and ruthless appearance in my past life, and how he heartlessly abandoned his seriously ill son.

Scene after scene, like sharp swords, pierced my heart.

At first, I just wanted to stay away, but now, after going around in circles, we're together again for various reasons. I suddenly woke up with a start, and as soon as I sat up, I felt a wave of dizziness. My head was heavy, my feet were light, and I felt like my soul was floating.

Thinking about what happened last night, I actually fell asleep. I felt annoyed for a moment, then pushed open the door and went out, only to find that I had actually slept in Gu Jinhuai's room last night.

As soon as I came out, I saw Gu Jinhuai and his assistant Li Zhou in the living room.

Noticing my gaze, Gu Jinhuai glanced at me, then looked at Li Zhou and whispered, "Go and do it."

After Li Zhou left, there was a moment of silence. Gu Jinhuai and I looked at each other across the distance. Seeing my stunned expression, Gu Jinhuai slowly walked over.

"I'm awake."

"Yesterday I..."

Before I could finish speaking, Gu Jinhuai had already pulled me to the dining table and then brought out a bowl of soup from the kitchen.

Steam was still rising from it: "Drink it."

Gu Jinhuai pushed the soup in front of me, and its rich aroma wafted into my nostrils: "Pork rib and white fungus soup?"

A look of surprise crossed my eyes. This was my favorite drink, and I hadn't had it since my grandmother passed away.

Thinking of that familiar taste, my nose tingled and my eyes involuntarily reddened.

"Ah."

Gu Jinhuai looked at me and gave a soft "hmm." After a few seconds, he spoke again: "Try it."

I held the bowl in both hands and carefully brought it close to my nose to smell it. Although it didn't taste quite like I remembered, I was already very satisfied to be able to drink it again.

Noticing the man's eager gaze, I didn't answer and kept drinking my soup.

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through my head, and a vague fragment of missing memory flooded my mind.

I gasped softly. Gu Jinhuai across from me frowned, rushed over, and hugged me tightly: "What did you think of?"

"My head hurts."

I stared at the pork rib soup in front of me, feeling something struggling to surface in my mind. It felt like a thorn was constantly piercing my brain, causing excruciating pain. In the end, I fainted from the pain.

"Zhizhi."

Gu Jinhuai suddenly roared and carried me back to the bedroom.

Before I lost consciousness, I only heard a man's concerned voice.

"What's wrong with her? Why does she suddenly have a headache?"

Gu Jinhuai looked at Siwei, his tone filled with anger.

"Don't get agitated, she's fine now. Maybe she just experienced some kind of shock?"

Svet offered words of comfort.

Gu Jinhuai's gaze fell on the bowl of pork rib soup, his eyes dark and unfathomable.

"you can go now."

Gu Jinhuai spoke coldly, directly ordering him to leave.

"Gu Jinhuai, you use someone and then throw them away, is that how you behave? Are you even a good brother anymore?"

Svi looked at Gu Jinhuai with a resentful expression, her eyes filled with accusation.

Facing his gaze, Gu Jinhuai simply ignored it: "A good brother is someone who's always there when you call, and someone who's in your way should leave on his own."

"You're really something, but I'm curious, how come my sister-in-law gets upset after drinking the pork rib soup? Could it be that you did something to wrong her before?"

Svi stared at the bowl of pork rib soup, wishing he could poke a hole in it, but he still couldn't figure it out.

Gu Jinhuai also fell into deep thought. He was certain that this was the first time he had cooked pork rib soup for her, and he hadn't expected that a pork rib soup would cause such a thing.

"Was she unharmed?"

Gu Jinhuai seemed to remember something and spoke softly.

"No, she's perfectly healthy. But since this is her first time having a baby, there's bound to be a lot she doesn't know. As the father, you need to be careful and take her for a prenatal checkup every month."

Svi is right, monthly prenatal checkups are necessary, but he doesn't know how to bring it up.

Seeing Gu Jinhuai's hesitation, a bad premonition flashed in Siwei's eyes. He asked with a smirk, "You're not asleep yet, are you? Be careful your sister-in-law doesn't run away pregnant and find a stepfather for your child. You'll be crying then."

Hearing Swei's words, Gu Jinhuai gritted his teeth and hissed, "Shut your stinking mouth."

Thinking of something, Gu Jinhuai spoke again unhurriedly: "I heard that my sister is with Moss abroad. Your wishful thinking is going to fall through."

Upon hearing this news, Svi's smile froze for a moment: "That scumbag Moss, if he dares to hurt Gu Zi, I will tear him apart with my bare hands."

"I heard they've been treating her quite well lately."

"Tsk tsk tsk, if your sister knew you were spying on her, she'd be furious."

Svi smiled slightly.

"I was just protecting her. There are a lot of people who can't stand family-oriented people."

Gu Jinhuai's expression was serious as he looked at Siwei and continued, "I heard you're going to Italy in a few days. If it's convenient, could you go and see her for me?"

"Alright, since Young Master Gu has spoken, even if it's inconvenient for me, I still have to fly over and take a look."

Svi raised an eyebrow and smiled at Gu Jinhuai, a hint of nonchalance on his face.

"Get out of here now."

Gu Jinhuai kicked him in the calf.

Svi winked in pain, but still grinned and winked at me, thanking me: "Don't worry about your sister, you'll always be my big brother."

For the entire night, Gu Jinhuai sat on the chair by the bed, keeping me company, his gaze lingering on me inch by inch, as if trying to imprint my features deeply into his heart.

Seeing that I was sleeping restlessly, Gu Jinhuai lay down on his side beside the bed, hugged me tightly, and murmured, "What exactly have you been through?"
