C30 (1/2)

Awkwardly, in the next moment, Gong Lingqian held onto An Xingchen's injured hand and carefully checked. Seeing that the water did not wet the gauze that An Xingchen had bandaged up, Gong Lingqian finally ripped off the waterproof membrane that was wrapped around An Xingchen's hand.

He raised his hand and gently caressed An Xingchen's soft hair: ”After you've finished showering, go and lie down on the bed to rest.”

An Xingchen looked at Gong Lingqian's deep eyes, his fair little face immediately turned red, and quickly looked away. He nodded at Gong Lingqian, and just as he took two steps towards the door, his wrist was suddenly grabbed by Gong Lingqian.

An Xingchen was forced to stop, and looked at Gong Lingqian doubtfully.

Gong Lingqian's gentle and deep voice sounded out: ”You will sleep here tonight.”

Hearing that, An Xingchen was startled, her small face became even redder, and she stuttered: ”No …. ”There's no need …”

Before An Xingchen could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Gong Lingqian's overbearing voice. ”There's still thunder and rain outside, are you sure you want to sleep alone in the guest room tonight?”

An Xingchen subconsciously looked out the window and saw that it was still raining and thunder outside.

An Xingchen bit her lips, and Gong Lingqian's low and deep voice sounded beside her ears again: ”Alright, hurry up and go lie down on the bed.”

Unable to reject, An Xingchen could only nod her head. Seeing that Gong Lingqian was still wearing the wet clothes, he could not help but worriedly say, ”Go and take a bath first … ”Don't get really cold...”

An Xingchen's face was red as she laid on the bed nervously.

Fifteen minutes later, Gong Lingqian finished his shower and came out wrapped in a bathrobe. As he walked, he grabbed a clean towel to wipe his hair.

A single man and a single woman, sharing a room in the middle of the night. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became ambiguous.

In order to avoid embarrassment, An Xingchen hurriedly stood up and said to Gong Lingqian. Why don't you sit next to me and I'll wipe your hair. ”

Just as An Xingchen was about to take the towel in her hand, she was avoided.

”No need, your hand is injured. Just lie down and rest.”

As Gong Lingqian spoke, he forcefully pushed An Xingchen back into bed and laid on top of her again.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet again.

An Xingchen bit her lips lightly, and was just about to say something to break the awkward silence, but before she could say anything, Gong Lingqian's low voice suddenly sounded out: ”An Xingchen, you haven't answered me yet, why did you trick me into going to Sea Forest Park this afternoon?”

An Xingchen did not expect Gong Lingqian to suddenly ask about this, and was startled, seeing that Gong Lingqian was still waiting for her reply, An Xingchen hesitated, but told her the truth: ”I received a package from the company today.”

”There's a dead mouse inside the bag …”

”Not long after that, an unknown number came in and told me to go to the south gate of Hailey Park at three in the afternoon. If I didn't go, I would go and harass my family.”

Just as An Xingchen finished speaking, she saw Gong Lingqian's face instantly turn cold: Why did you not tell me about such an important matter?

After saying that, Gong Lingqian unhappily pinched the tip of An Xingchen's nose, ”Remember, if something like this happens again in the future, you must tell me first. Do you understand? ”

”Got it...” An Xingchen nodded at Gong Lingqian, as if he had no future.
