Xu Nanxing suddenly looked up at him, his face filled with embarrassment.
"Gu Huaizhi, can you stop being so mean?..."
"You have to have a begging attitude when asking for help." Gu Huaizhi twisted the limp and fallen tassel with his fingers, his eyes darkened, "When you want to scold me, just call me by my name. Last time you called me when you begged me to let you go. Mr. Gu...Xu Nanxing, you are quite clear about this kind of thing!"
"I……"
Xu Nanxing wanted to explain, but she saw the person leaning on the soft pillow suddenly stood up. She quickly stood up, grabbed the man's arm, and
"Don't leave!"
The voice was not loud, but soft and sweet. Although she was a little anxious, she still sounded like a coquettish person.
Gu Huaizhi lowered his eyes and glanced at the hand on his forearm. It was slender and white, with clean nails. It showed a bright refractive surface under the light. The temperature in the palm of the hand was not hot or cold as it pressed against his body. .
The owner of the hand looked up at his bright face, frowning slightly, but stopped talking.
He sighed in his heart. He couldn't stand her being like this the most. Only with such a beautiful appearance and such a soft voice came into his heart little by little...
"The nanny is here to deliver something. Do you want to go get it with me?"
Only then did Xu Nanxing realize that there seemed to be footsteps coming from the stairs outside the door. She let go of her hand awkwardly and sat back on the low couch.
Gu Huaizhi opened the door and Chen Mingxi had already walked to the door.
"Mr. Gu, let me take it in. Don't burn you."
"No, give it to me!" Gu Huaizhi reached out and took the tray. He saw that she was still wearing the nightgown and coat she just wore. I don't know if she was busy or something. The collar of the coat was wide open, and she could still vaguely see the nightgown. The looming style.
A touch of disgust appeared in his eyes.
Chen Mingxi only saw the woman's bare legs through the gap in the door. She stood there with emotions surging in her heart. She wanted to take a few more glances, but suddenly she heard Gu Huaizhi's voice,
"The evidence mentioned last time went smoothly?"
Chen Mingxi was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile, "I haven't contacted Miss Shen yet."
Gu Huaizhi smiled and nodded, "Okay, go down and rest. There's no need to come up again."
After saying that, the person has entered the door.
The heavy carved door closed in front of her eyes, and the jealousy in Chen Mingxi's eyes seemed to come out of her body. She wanted to live a good life, but she also wanted this man.
She didn't want to let go of either thing.
Hearing the faint voice of a woman in the room, she took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Shen Ruzhen, then turned and went downstairs.
Xu Nanxing sat there, holding the edge of the low couch with his fingers helplessly. He faintly heard the voice of a woman speaking at the door. He wondered if it was the girl downstairs just now.
She was nestled in Gu Huaizhi's arms and could only see the vague outline of the girl, who looked a little indescribable.
Gu Huaizhi returned to the short couch with ginger syrup, put the tray on the table aside, and handed the bowl to her.
"Drink it, it will keep you away from the cold."
Xu Nanxing looked at the bowl of ginger water, and suddenly remembered that she got caught in the rain when she borrowed an umbrella. She didn't care. When she came out of class, she saw a bowl of steaming ginger water on the table. The nanny Sister Ying It was said that Mr. Gu told me.
She drank the bowl of ginger water. Although it was spicy in her mouth, there was only a sweet taste left in her mouth at the end. At that moment, she suddenly realized that her heart was sinking in little by little.
Indulge in this man's casual attention.
Heat filled her eyes, Xu Nanxing blinked, feeling a surge of sourness coming up again. She hated that she was worthless and always shed tears in front of him, but she really couldn't control it.
Lu Lixue once said that her eye sockets were too shallow and her head was too thin.
Xu Nanxing thought about it and realized that he was right. If he had used some other means to get benefits from Gu Huaizhi, why would he have to take Shen Ruzhen's path, which would hurt Gu Huaizhi and make both sides suffer.
Seeing her staring at the ginger syrup without saying a word, Gu Huaizhi thought she was losing her temper, so he took back his hand to put the bowl aside.
Unexpectedly, Xu Nanxing suddenly reached out to grab it, and a bowl of hot soup was poured on the porcelain white arm, and his hand was burned.
Xu Nanxing exclaimed, his arm was red, but he looked at his hand first.
"I didn't mean it, it doesn't matter..."
Before he finished speaking, the person was already picked up.
Xu Nanxing fiddled with his arm anxiously, trying to look at his burned hand, but was stopped by Gu Huaizhi and carried him headfirst to the bathroom.
The cold water flowed across her arm, temporarily taking away the burning sting. Xu Nanxing looked at the hand holding her wrist, which was already redder than before. She was anxious in her heart and said,
"I'll do it myself. Your hands are also burned. Please wash them off quickly."
Gu Huaizhi's face was not pretty, and his handsome eyebrows were frowned tightly. Seeing that he didn't move at all, Xu Nanxing used her other hand to grab his hand.
"Calm down!"
The man's low scolding did not stop Xu Nanxing. She still stubbornly wanted to relieve his burned hand as soon as possible. During the struggle, the water flow changed its path due to the sudden interference and headed towards the two of them. It splashed over, and after several unsuccessful struggles, both of them were covered in water.
Xu Nanxing still didn't give up and reached out again.
But the moment he touched the man's arm, he held him down, and his back and the uninjured arm leaned against the mirror behind him. From this angle, Xu Nanxing could clearly see Gu Huaizhi's expression. The darkness in the man's eyes was like an undercurrent surging in the deep sea, stirring up a beautiful whirlpool to attract travelers flying at night into it.
It is also like a wild beast in the forest. When it sees its favorite prey, it waits for the opportunity to hit it with one strike.
This time she didn't dare to move anymore and breathed carefully, fearing that Gu Huaizhi, who was so close, would bite her and finish her off.
The cold water has numbed and numbed the burned arm, and the wrists were sore from his clamp. The clothes on the chest were wet and sticky, sticking to the body, making it indescribably uncomfortable.
Xu Nanxing frowned, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and discussed with Gu Huaizhi in a low voice.
"I feel uncomfortable when you are like this, let go..."
Before she finished speaking, Gu Huaizhi let go of her and looked at her burned hand again.
Xu Nanxing carefully considered and said,
"your hands……"
"If you calm down a little, can my hand be like this?..."
Gu Huaizhi glanced over coldly, and Xu Nanxing's eyes turned red with grievance.
She just thought Gu Huaizhi was going to dump it, so she grabbed it.
He spoke in a whimper, and his voice was choked with sobs.
"I really didn't mean it..."
Seeing her aggrieved look, Gu Huaizhi sighed silently. She seemed to be particularly prone to crying these few times after seeing each other for so long. She became irritated when he saw her aggrieved and aggrieved, and wanted to press her down hard. Just give him a good beating.
"Xu Nanxing, I am not a compassionate person. Crying and crying doesn't work well for me. If you are trying to make me feel soft, then you have made a mistake."
After speaking the cold words, Xu Nanxing forcefully forced back the tears in her eyes.
She wanted to slide off the sink, but her other arm was still held in his hand.
She pulled and he held tightly.
For a moment, the two of them were frozen there again. The flesh on the wrist had been pinched out of shape and was sore. Xu Nanxing's anger burned up from her heart. She ignored Gu with her other hand. Huaizhi was hit on the body. In addition to scolding him, he was also biting his neck and chest.
Xu Nanxing only had one thought in his mind, and he misunderstood himself again. She was obviously afraid that he would throw away the bowl of ginger water that she wanted to drink. She didn't think about anything else, but she would be told like this by him.
The tears couldn't stop coming out again. She didn't want to cry, but she just couldn't control it.
Gu Huaizhi didn't even try to hide, but let her hit him.
It wasn't until she was tired of crying and beating that he let go of her and walked out.
Xu Nanxing leaned against the mirror, sitting there numbly as if her soul had been drained, until Gu Huaizhi left and returned, throwing a pile of clothes next to her.
"Take a shower, change clothes, and don't touch your arms with hot water."
"Where are you going?"
Gu Huaizhi stopped, turned around and looked at her,
"If you ask this, can I understand that you are inviting me?..."
Xu Nanxing closed his eyes, looking cold again. He was obviously smiling at the girl downstairs just now, so why was he acting like this towards her.
However, he was not like this before.
Although he was a little indifferent to people in the past, he was not indifferent.
It turned out that that incident not only changed her, but also changed him.
"Gu Huaizhi, do we have to have this kind of relationship? You humiliate me severely and I humbly bear it?... Will you feel better if you do this?..."
Xu Nanxing murmured,
"Do you think it's easy for me? Since that incident, I have been surrounded by self-blame almost every day. There was obviously a better solution, but I chose the most difficult one. But Gu Huaizhi, until today I I’m not sure whether you were temporarily happy with me or if you really liked me, so how could I ask you to help me?”
"So, you choose to believe Shen Ruzhen? Do you think she can help you?..." Gu Huaizhi lowered his eyebrows and fixed his gaze on Xu Nanxing's face.
"Do you know how much impact it would have on you and me if the photos you secretly took were published?"
"I know."
"You knew it, but you still did it. So, this was a decision you made after anticipating all the worst outcomes, and you should be punished."
Xu Nanxing said sadly, "Have I not been punished enough? My mother left me, and I lost the most precious thing as a girl. I also lost...lost..."
She looked at him with her eyes, but couldn't say any more.
What I want to say in my heart is the person I like, but I find that I am not qualified to say "like". If it is mixed with calculation and scheming, it cannot be regarded as liking.
The uncontrollable emotions made her whole body tremble. She didn't want to be so embarrassed. She slid down the sink with shaking legs, turned her back and said calmly,
"I want to take a shower, please get out."
Gu Huaizhi looked at her back with a serious look on his face, and then turned around and went out.
