Jin Zijin answered unhurriedly, "How can it count as a secret if it can be used for a trade? You’d better hurry up and sleep!"
She glanced at him sideways and hummed, "You’re really no fun at all!"
Exchanging secrets was her favorite game to play with her besties as a teenager. Why was it so dull with him?
In a daze, Gu Youyou didn’t know when she fell asleep.
She dreamed that she had just attended a party. In the dead of winter, she wore a super short cocktail dress. Her car broke down, and after she called her family driver, he didn’t show up for a long time. In the middle of the night, she couldn’t get a taxi and was shaking from the cold.
Gu Youyou felt like she was about to die, about to freeze to death. The coldness inside her body came not only from the chilly outside air but also a strange coldness emanating from deep within her bones.
As a doctor, she had seen many complicated cases over the years, but she had never seen anything ?
"Ice-cold skin and jade-like bones" are used to describe beauties, okay, she was also a beauty. But when she indeed had this bone-chilling coldness of "ice-cold skin and jade-like bones," it wasn’t pleasant at all.
Later, her bestie found her and said she would get sick unless she immediately went to a sauna.
Her bestie’s theory about preventing colds by going to the sauna was something Gu Youyou rarely cared about, but as soon as she heard the word "sauna," she longed for it.
She hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, let’s not be picky. Just find the nearest one, quick!"
So, without a second thought, she ran straight into the nearest sauna shop.
Stripping off her clothes, the warm water enveloped her entire body, and she finally felt relief.
Every pore was breathing, and she felt herself sweating profusely.
The only words left in her heart were "so satisfying!!"
Day broke, and the fish belly white appeared on the eastern mountainsides; Gu Youyou woke up.
Her whole body was sore and aching, and the stone bed was indeed not comfortable to sleep on.
What’s worse, Gu Youyou was pressed down by Jin Zijin’s arms and legs, which was extremely uncomfortable.
For some reason, he always liked to hold her while sleeping. It was common for his arm to lie on her, but it was the first time his leg joined in, at least in her memory.
Sometimes she really didn’t understand this man. Aside from their wedding night, it seemed like he had never been intimate with her.
It was just... even though he was clearly so good to her, he still wouldn’t tell her his personal matters, and always seemed to be guarding against her.
It wasn’t seemed; Jin Zijin was indeed on guard against her, as well as everyone else.
This mysterious man was dangerous yet filled with temptation.
She thought it was like that, slowly being lured into his warm embrace, not wanting to leave.
Leaning against his chest, she could feel his higher-than-normal body temperature and the strong, steady beating of his heart.
Gu Youyou carefully pulled at the blanket, and a cool breeze slipped through the gap, which was when she discovered she wasn’t wearing any clothes.
She was so startled that she hardly dared to breathe.
Thinking back to last night...
Wait a minute, she remembered she went to sleep fully clothed, so who took off her clothes?
Gu Youyou was shocked. She reached out to touch the person next to her; he was also... naked?
Oh my god! Her brain short-circuited in an instant,
Just now she was thinking how strange Jin Zijin was, her health had improved a lot, and she wasn’t bad looking, so why hadn’t he been intimate with her?
Her whole body was sore and aching, and she felt that must’ve been it.
