To begin with, Yan Xi sounded very sweet. Now coupled with a sweeter tone, her voice sounded like a feather sweeping over Gu Yi’s skin, making her feel itchy.
“Alright, I trust you.” His voice was hoarse, as if he was trying to restrain something.
Yan Xi puffed out her cheeks at his curt reply.
She thought that Gu Shen would look at her affectionately and say that he had always believed in her, then had a heart to heart conversation with her. In the end, he would hold her hand and said enthusiastically and sincerely that she was the only one in his life.
‘The more Yan Xi thought about it, the angrier she was at his curt reply. She pouted and sat back down.
Gu Shen tured his head. “What’s wrong?”
“It’s a little hot staying too close to you.”
Gu Shen turned down the aircon a little bit and then instructed, “Don’t move. I’ll help you apply the medicine when we get back.”
Yan Xi wasn’t the type of person who would hold a grudge against people. At the thought that the Host had done so many bad things before, she decided to forgive Gu Shen.
Speaking of the Host, Yan Xi wondered what the Host had done that wasn’t recorded in her memory. She didn’t wanna live to see the day when suddenly an old guy approached her and said she was his ex-girlfriend and that they didn’t actually break up.
At the thought of that scene, Yan Xi felt annoyed.
“Why did you sigh?” Gu Shen had been paying attention to the sigh she had been heaving.
“Nothing. I just remembered what I did before and felt I was stupid.”
“Very stupid.” Gu Shen’s tone was calm. “But now you’re smarter.” At least she knew she should choose him instead of anyone.
Back at the villa, Yan Xi pushed Gu Shen to his room. Xiaoyue had already prepared the first aid kit and placed it on the table beside the bed.
Yan Xi walked over and found the ointment and cotton swab inside. She was about to do it herself when she saw Gu Shen staring at her without moving.
She asked tentatively, “Are you going to help me apply the medicine?”
Gu Shen frowned and took the things from her hand. He said firmly, “Hand.”
“Here.” Yan Xi then reacted and quickly reached out her injured hand.
Gu Shen lowered his head and started to focus on applying the ointment on her. While getting helped by Gu Shen, Yan Xi supported her chin with one hand and stared at his face.
He had deep eyes, a high nose bridge, and a perfect body proportion, perfectly qualified to be her husband.
Sensing her gaze, Gu Shen looked up and met her bright and clear eyes.
In an instant, silence descended on the room. For a moment, they seemed like the only ones in this world. Slowly, their breaths grew louder and mixed together.
Yan Xi was first to look away as her face was starting to go red. She then rubbed her nose, acting like nothing happened.
Fortunately, Gu Shen did not notice anything wrong with her. He returned his attention to the wound on her hand and said in a low voice, “Don’t do this again. It’s not worth it to get injured for me.”
Gu Shen sounded very flat. It was as if he had experienced this kind of thing many times, but no one ever protected him the way Yan Xi did.
Yan Xi suddenly felt very sad and tight on her chest.
“Why is it not worth it to be injured for you! Gu Shen, we’re a married couple. We should go through difficulties together. You shouldn’t shoulder everything, I’ll do my best to help you share the burden.” She grabbed Gu Shen’s hand and said stubbornly, “Anyway, I just want to protect you. You can’t stop
me!”
‘When she was reading this novel, she had always felt sorry for Gu Shen. Now that he was alive and kicking in front of her, how could she stand by and do nothing? In her eyes, they were one and the same.
‘When Gu Shen heard that, his eyes constricted, and he subconsciously tightened his grip on her hand. However, he quickly lowered his head to hide his emotion. “Thanks.”
“Remember!” Yan Xi was very serious. “You can’t say such things again in the future.”
“I won’t,” Gu Shen agreed. A faint smile appeared on his lips. He definitely would not be so foolish as to say the same thing again.
After applying medicine on her hand, Gu Shen threw away the cotton swab and looked at her shoulder.
“Turn around. The wound on your back needs to be treated too.”
Yan Xi was obedient and took off her clothes. “Be gentler. It hurts more here than my hand.”
“Mm.” Gu Shen’s Adam’s apple subconsciously bobbed.
