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

Chapter 44

"It's all my fault. I couldn't keep an eye on Mino and almost hurt Zhou Nanzhi. If she hadn't hit her, Mino would have hurt her face."

Song Yuan looked terrified, and when she looked at me, her expression was one of feigned concern.

As I listened to Song Yuan's words, my heart sank. Everyone knows that Gu Jinhuai's favorite thing is his pet Mino, which was left by his grandmother before she passed away and is the most important thing to Gu Jinhuai.

Song Yuan said this not without the intention of making Gu Jinhuai dislike me.

"Is there anything you want to say?"

Gu Jinhuai's face was expressionless. When he looked at me, his expression was cold, and his words were also quite somber.

"I……"

I really wanted to explain that Song Yuan was deliberately picking a fight, but I knew even better in my heart that no matter who was right or wrong, as long as the other party was Song Yuan, then she must be right.

"Jinhuai, look! Mino is bleeding."

Song Yuan exclaimed in surprise, drawing Gu Jinhuai's gaze.

I followed the gaze and sure enough, I found...

There was a large pool of blood on Mino's hind leg, and instantly, I felt the temperature around me drop sharply.

"I'm going to see a doctor."

Song Yuan looked worried and was about to make a phone call for help.

Gu Jinhuai, carrying Mino, glanced at me indifferently as he passed by and said, "You come here."

After saying that, he carried Mino directly into the operating room.

I paused for a second, then followed. Just as I was about to close the door, Song Yuan reacted quickly and dashed inside.

"Jinhuai, Zhou Nanzhi is a medical student. How could she possibly treat minocycline? What if something goes wrong?"

Hearing Song Yuan's disparaging remarks, I quickly put on disposable gloves, took the gauze and medicine, and walked towards Gu Jinhuai.

However, Song Yuan stopped her, saying, "Zhou Nanzhi, don't do anything reckless. Do you know how important Minotoxin is to Gu Jinhuai? How can you just give him these medications like that? What if something goes wrong?"

I gave her a cool, indifferent look, my tone icy: "You may not understand, but I do. If you hadn't suddenly let go, would it have run towards me? You..."

"enough."

Gu Jinhuai impatiently interrupted me, his gaze turning to Mino with tension.

"get out."

Gu Jinhuai looked at Song Yuan, his tone indifferent.

"Brother Jinhuai, I..."

Song Yuan looked at Gu Jinhuai with a pale face and disbelief, her voice filled with grievance.

"Stop wasting time, don't you want it to get better soon?"

I looked at Song Yuan impatiently and snapped at her.

"I don't!"

Song Yuan hurriedly retorted sharply, and finally turned her gaze to Gu Jinhuai, who remained silent with a sullen face.

Finally, Song Yuan walked out unwillingly, and I prepared to disinfect Mino.

"Don't be afraid, it won't hurt you for no reason."

Gu Jinhuai spoke in a low voice as I approached.

I felt that he had something else in mind when he said that. I looked down and carefully disinfected Mino, only to find needle marks on its hind leg.

Mino is small in size and has a gentle temperament. Unlike other Tibetan Mastiffs, it will not hurt people as long as you do not pose a threat to it.

Sure enough, Song Yuan has a truly wicked heart.

I used tweezers to part its fur, revealing the skin underneath, and looked at Gu Jinhuai, my voice cold: "There are traces of injection needle marks here."

I stared intently at Gu Jinhuai, only to find his face terrifyingly grim. I instinctively shuddered and bent down to wipe the wound and apply medicine.

A dozen minutes later, the wound was bandaged, and I was about to go out when Gu Jinhuai stopped me.

"What do you want? Do you want me to apologize to your pet?"

I felt like I could read his mind, and my words were laced with sarcasm.

Gu Jinhuai frowned upon hearing my words and replied, "I'm not that petty."

Before I could react, she pulled me to sit down, placed my hand on the table, and wiped the back of my hand with human medical disinfectant.

A sharp pain shot through me, and I looked down to see the scratches on the back of my hand. Although they weren't deep, they stood out starkly against my pale, cold skin.

As I watched him carefully apply the medicine to my wound, my heart pounded. In the end, I decided to explain: "Song Yuan came to me with your dog, saying that you and she are getting engaged at the end of the year. During that time, your dog jumped out of her arms and bit me, so I hit it with a broom. I was acting in self-defense, and you can't..."

"I know."

Gu Jinhuai lifted his eyelids, his dark eyes fixed on me, his tone serious.

and then?

A series of questions filled my mind; I had no idea what those three words meant.

Soon, I felt a cool sensation on the back of my hand. He was applying medicine to my hand and finally placed the gauze on the back of my hand.

"All right."

Gu Jinhuai slowly packed his things, while Song Yuan waited outside the door for a long time.

As soon as I opened the door, Song Yuan pushed me aside and walked towards Gu Jinhuai, her voice soft but tense: "How is Mino? Is she alright?"

Gu Jinhuai didn't say anything. Instead, he called the driver to take Mino away and instructed Song Yuan in front of her: "Tell the zookeeper that no one is allowed to take Mino out without my permission. If I find out, she can quit her job."

The driver, holding Mino with trepidation, answered respectfully.

"Jinhuai, don't be angry. It was all my idea that caused Mino to get hurt. Don't blame Zhou Nanzhi. It's all my fault."

Listening to her witty remarks, how could I possibly tolerate her? In my past life, I only tolerated her time and time again because I didn't want to put Gu Jinhuai in a difficult position.

"You're right. If you hadn't come here to brag about your wedding, and hadn't brought it along, it wouldn't have gotten hurt. So it's all your fault. If I were you, I'd go home right away to avoid embarrassing myself."

"I……"

Song Yuan didn't expect me to go along with her words, and looked at Gu Jinhuai.

Gu Jinhuai didn't speak, nor did he stand beside her, and Song Yuan panicked at that moment.

Seeing her flustered expression, I felt relieved. It really is satisfying to roast people, especially annoying green tea bitches. It's even good for the pancreas.

Just as I was secretly pleased, I noticed the man's direct gaze.

I subconsciously looked up and my eyes met Gu Jinhuai's. He looked at me with a complicated expression. I glared back at him, and his eyes seemed to say: What are you looking at?

"Let's go back."

Gu Jinhuai rubbed his aching temples, looked at Song Yuan, and spoke in a cold voice.

"My...Auntie asked me to come with you."

Song Yuan lowered her voice and looked at me as she spoke.

I felt disgusted by her pretentious act and immediately told her to leave: "If you two have nothing else to do, could you please leave? Don't disturb my business."

I gestured for him to leave, but Gu Jinhuai didn't. His cold eyes looked at Song Yuan, who couldn't resist her shyness and left with a flushed face.

Watching Song Yuan flee in disarray, I felt a bittersweet ache in my heart.

"You're very happy."

Gu Jinhuai's gaze fell on me, his tone resolute.

"Of course, it's nice to get rid of something annoying, but I'd be even happier if you left."

I glanced at him sideways and went to feed the cats; I didn't intend to be alone with him.

"Zhou Nanzhi, when will you stop being so stubborn?"

Gu Jinhuai grabbed my wrist and gently pulled me to sit on the sofa. Our eyes met, and the man's expression was serious.

I stared at him, feeling as if I were in a past life, and scenes from the past appeared one by one, but no amount of sweetness could outweigh the repeated hurt.

I broke free from his wrist and looked at him, my cold eyes devoid of any affection: "Gu Jinhuai, I am human, I feel pain too. Can you restore the broken mirror to its original state?"
