Chapter 42

“It seems like the cafe is not the place for you.”

Yi Zeyang had a cold and solemn expression on his face as he pulled her up before leading her out of the cafe forcibly.

“Yi Zeyang! Let go of me!” Gu Anhao exclaimed as she started panicking. “Let go of me now! Let go of me. I am not going anywhere with you!”

As the both of them were about to walk out of the cafe, the waitress quickly ran after them as she hurriedly said, “Sir! I have the ice cubes and towel that you asked for!”

Yi Zeyang paused for a moment before he took the bag of ice cubes and the towel from the waitress before he dragged Gu Anhao out of the café.

Half a minute later, Yi Zeyang pushed Gu Anhao into the car. Even though the car seat was made of soft leather, Gu Anhao was hurt because of the force he exerted. Therefore, she started panicking a little. “Yi Ze…”

However, Yi Zeyang had already closed the car door behind her before she could even complete her sentence. After that, he walked over to the other side of the car as he got into the driver’s seat. The heavy rain continued falling and the both of them could hear the muffled sounds of the rain from inside the car.

Gu Anhao took a deep breath and straightened her body as she tried to open the car door. Yi Zeyang opened his mouth and said, “Why are you still trying to hide from me?”

Gu Anhao’s body stiffened upon hearing his words. “Your roommate told me that you came down with a high fever just a few days ago because of the rain. I can already guess why you don’t want to see me right now. I can also tolerate your attitude until you are in a better mood because I am worried about your condition and your health. I will not force you to talk about anything else with me but you have to tell me what happened to your face. Tell me who hit you?”

Gu Anhao slowly retracted her hand and she felt as though she was losing control of herself.

She quietly leaned against the car seat as she continued staring at the heavy rain outside the car window.

Gu Anhao could suddenly feel a cold tingling sensation on her face and she subconsciously tried to move away but Yi Zeyang quickly stopped her. Yi Zeyang wrapped some ice in the towel, and he placed it against her cheek. Gu Anhao suddenly recalled the times where Yi Zeyang would help her to clean up, and take care of all her wounds and injuries whenever she got injured when she was younger. If her injuries were much more serious, then he would always take her to the hospital without saying anything at all.

Someone once said that sometimes, it was difficult for someone to break down no matter how much a person was hurting inside. However, if someone who cared about that person was there to comfort them, then the pain would somehow amplify and tears would start falling unwittingly.

This was exactly what Gu Anhao was feeling right now. She had been trying to hold back her tears and she had been desperately enduring the pain. However, she could not stop her tears from falling down.

She quickly raised her hand to push him away. “No need to ice my face. I am fine. I will be fine in two days’ time.”

Yi Zeyang gently pushed her hand away as he continued comforting her, putting the ice wrapped in the towel on her red and swollen face.

Gu Anhao turned and looked at Yi Zeyang, and she saw that his brows were knitted together. He was obviously feeling very upset and distressed because of her.

“I don’t think that you got into a fight with your classmates because I don’t believe that anyone would dare to hit you like this. Moreover, with your bad temper, the other party would have already been completely crushed before they could get their hands on you,” Yi Zeyang said “So, did the Gu family do this to you?”

Gu Anhao did not reply. She simply raised her hand and took the towel from him before she said, “I can do it myself.”

Yi Zeyang could tell that she was deliberately keeping her distance from him.

However, he could not bear to reprimand or accuse her of anything because of the state that she was already in. Therefore, he retracted his hand before he started the car. “Since your face is already so swollen, it is not convenient for you to go back to school now. I will bring you to the hospital first so that the doctor can take a look at your injury, okay?”

“No.” Anhao replied as she placed the ice pack against her cheek. The cold and stinging sensation was the only thing that was keeping her thoughts rational at this time.
