C59 (2/2)
A familiar smell entered her nose, and the embrace she leaned against behind her was exactly as she remembered it, thick and warm.
”Are you all right?”
The man spoke in a low and hoarse voice. When he saw that she couldn't even stand steadily, he carried her horizontally and walked out without any hesitation.
”Eh? Where are you carrying An An to?
”Put me down.”
Lu Qinan struggled, but his entire body was weak, the fists on his shoulders were weak without any strength.
Chu Lebai saw that her eyes were red again and followed her anxiously, ”You, if you don't let go of that person now, I'll call the police, I'll sue you for kidnapping!”
”Doctor Xiaobai.”
The handsome man behind her held her back and explained kindly, ”The husband and wife have misunderstood each other, so we can't not give them a chance to make up, right?”
”But An An was tormented to this extent by him! ”He bullies people …”
Lian Shuyan was slightly surprised, a smile flashed past his eyes, ”Doctor Xiaobai has never been married before, right? Or have you never been in love? ”
”What do you mean?”
”If you've been in a relationship, you'll know. Between a man and a woman, they're originally sweet and brutal, and they're a little astringent …”
”Where are you taking me?”
Lu Qinan was placed on the passenger seat, he looked at the familiar road, and suddenly struggled: ”I'm not going to the hospital!”
He paused for a moment and looked over, ”You have a fever.”
”Then we still won't go!”
She resisted so fiercely that after unbuckling her seat belt, she smashed the car window with all her strength. Her face was filled with resentment as she shouted, ”Let me out of the car!”
The man's gaze slowly grew darker, his entire face ashen. Lu Qinan could see very clearly that when she was making trouble, although he didn't show it on the surface, his fingers on the steering wheel were always white, and his joints were especially forceful.
He shrunk back and bit his lip. ”I'll be fine after I take the medicine. Can I not go to the hospital …”
If she submitted, she wouldn't be able to beat him no matter what.
Gu Zhongshen replied and turned the car around, carrying her and got off the car.
It was cold at night, so he took off his jacket and covered her with it. He carried her all the way to her bedroom and laid down.
The lights were on in the room. The man was walking back and forth in his shirt, bringing her some ginger soup and measuring the thermometer. From time to time, he would go out to pick up a phone and tell the people there that she had found him.
”How much?”
After receiving the call, she came back with the thermometer and dejectedly replied, ”I'm leaving.”
His attitude was really cold, the ointment in Gu Zhongshen's hand, suddenly froze.
Sitting by the bed, he saw the bruises on her body and the emotions in his eyes became complicated. He had just seen the bruises on her wrists. They must have been caused when he tied her up. He didn't notice it that night, so he didn't know it was this serious.
”Get up, I'll help you apply the medicine.”
She refused, putting her face aside. From start to finish, she didn't even want to look at him.
Gu Zhongshen was not angry either, he just concocted the ointment and coaxed gently, ”Wiping the ointment is good for you, otherwise, when you wake up, it will still be painful.”
”Weren't you afraid of pain in the first place? Fourth Uncle tried to lighten it as much as possible and it was quickly cleaned up.
The long finger landed on her wrist and opened the girl's soft hands. She slowly applied the ointment to them, creating a cool and refreshing feeling.
The little girl lowered her head and stared at his extremely gentle movements, and suddenly opened her mouth.
”So it doesn't hurt?”
Gu Zhongshen was stunned, he could not answer and could only mechanically repeat rubbing his finger, and after a while, he let her change her other hand and lowered her voice, ”Wipe well, it will not hurt if you wake up tomorrow morning.”
”So Fourth Uncle dotes on me so much.”
Her clear eyes had a faint glimmer of water in them, but she suddenly slapped his hand away and pulled at her clothes with all her might, ”Then it hurts so much that I don't want to get hurt. What's the difference between coming back to apply medicine after beating someone and apologizing in front of a tombstone?”
She compared him to a murderer.
Lu Qinan stared at the injuries that had flashed past the man's eyes. At that moment of pain, it was as if he had pierced the man.
She turned her face away and forced herself to ignore it. This was all a man's disguise. What she had seen all along was an illusion. He didn't even love her!
In the midst of his obsession, a man's low voice sounded in his ears.
”What happened that day was Fourth Uncle's fault.”
Knowing that the girl was angry, she scolded him and beat him a few times. However, even if the girl really swung her fist at him, she couldn't bear to use too much strength. Even if she hated him to this extent, she still couldn't say a few harsh words.
How could he mistake such a kind girl for hurting her?
How much pain had she suffered from these wounds?
Gu Zhongshen lowered her voice, ”Fourth Uncle was too harsh, but An An should not use injury to punish herself, alright?”
She smiled, her whole face white.
The man in front of him was in a rather sorry state. The stubble on his chin was so obvious, and his normally meticulous hair was a mess. Under his deep eyebrows, there were obvious dark circles under his eyes.
Actually, he was so haggard... Looking at her bloodshot eyes, it was possible that she really hadn't slept for two days.
