Gu Huaizhi leaned on the bedside and looked at Xu Nanxing's back. Thinking of the moment when he picked her up in the bathtub, his heart still ached.
Although she was very irritating when she was awake, seeing her alive and kicking now made him feel at ease.
This was the Xu Nanxing in his memory. He never struggled with one thing for a long time. Once he made a decision, he would go all out, generous and unrestrained.
Just like after that incident happened, even though he said it was over, she really never appeared again, disappearing as if she had never been in his life.
Last time, he knew from the beginning and just wanted to know how important he was in her heart. He wasn't surprised when he saw the photos on her phone, but he still felt like something was broken in his heart, which made him feel a dull pain even after all this time.
He thought that he would be able to heal without seeing her, but it turned out that was not the case. Instead, during those drunken nights, he missed her body with the scent of orange blossoms and her soft voice even more.
Now that I think about it, when I said I wanted to destroy her, I was just trying to force her to bow her head. Now, with her low profile, he knew she was asking for something, but he was willing to play with her one more time.
This time, she brought it to him by herself, and he didn't want to let her go again.
Xu Nanxing had no idea that at this moment she had once again fallen into the giant web woven by Gu Huaizhi's affection. She stood by the door and talked to Chen Mingxi.
Chen Mingxi looked at the girl in front of her with a smile on her face, but what she was thinking in her heart was that it was so unfair that God had given this girl such a beautiful face and Gu Huaizhi's love.
They are so similar, why are their destinies so different?
"Mingxi? Mingxi?" Chen Mingxi had just introduced herself. Seeing that she was in a daze, Xu Nanxing called her name.
"Huh?" Chen Mingxi came back to her senses, "What did you say?"
"I said you ask the doctor to come up."
Chen Mingxi's heart moved when she heard the sweet voice, and she couldn't blame Gu Huaizhi for liking her. Chen Mingxi glanced at Xu Nanxing again before going downstairs.
Xu Nanxing closed the door and came back. There was no one on the bed, but the light was on in the cloakroom. She walked over and leaned against the door to watch Gu Huaizhi change clothes.
Gu Huaizhi took off his shirt and looked back when he heard the voice, "Put your shoes on, or go to bed and stay there."
"The shoes are in the bathroom."
The floor was indeed a bit cold, so Xu Nanxing moved to the carpet in the cloakroom and stood, "The bathroom is full of water, it's wet."
Anyway, I don’t want to go in and get it myself.
"It's all water because of who?" Gu Huaizhi snorted, "If you hadn't done this, why would we be in such a mess?"
Xu Nanxing glanced at the back of his hand. The blisters had burst, revealing the blood-red skin inside, which looked scary.
She looked at her arm. There were only dots of small blisters on it, but it seemed a little lighter than his. She remembered that when the bowl of ginger water was spilled, his hand subconsciously covered her arm.
Gu Huaizhi put on his clothes and saw her in a daze, so he passed her and walked out. Xu Nanxing followed.
"Where are you going? The doctor will be here soon."
Gu Huaizhi pointed to her feet, "I'll ask the nanny to bring up a pair of shoes. You go to bed first."
It was rare that he didn't give her a cold expression. Xu Nanxing obediently went back to bed and saw him opening the door and walking out.
After a while, voices came from the door. Gu Huaizhi came back with a young man. When he entered, he pointed in the direction of Xu Nanxing.
"Bai Ze, she choked on the water in the shower about half an hour ago. Check her out."
Bai Ze rolled his eyes inwardly. He choked on some water in the shower and called him over in the middle of the night. Fortunately, he lived close by, otherwise he would have been tortured to death by this big brother.
He thought so in his heart, but he still responded with a smile on his face, "Don't worry, leave it to me."
Gu Huaizhi nodded, put the slippers in his hand on the side of Xu Nanxing's bed, and then leaned on the short couch to watch Bai Ze inspect Xu Nanxing.
Auscultation, consultation, blood pressure measurement and heart rate measurement were all performed, as well as basic items that could not be checked in the hospital anyway. Bai Ze even brought a portable blood collection box. Xu Nanxing saw him take out the needle and quickly waved his hand.
"No, no, no, I feel fine. It's just that my voice is a little hoarse and my chest hurts a little."
Bai Ze actually felt that there was no need to collect blood, and choking on saliva was not a big deal. He looked at Gu Huaizhi, but Gu Huaizhi looked at Xu Nanxing.
Yes, he could tell that there was something special about this girl, even if the needle was put down or inserted.
Seeing that Gu Huaizhi had been silent, Xu Nanxing hurriedly said to him,
"I'm really fine. Let him look at the back of your hand first."
Only then did Bai Ze notice the back of Gu Huaizhi's hand.
"Huai Zhi, let me take care of it for you first, otherwise you will be in trouble if you get infected."
"She also has it on her arm. You need to deal with it first."
Gu Huaizhi pointed at Xu Nanxing again.
Bai Ze sighed and turned the disinfectant in his hand to Xu Nanxing.
It actually hurt a little when dealing with the burn, but Xu Nanxing glanced at Gu Huaizhi's downcast face and didn't even dare to frown.
Who is to blame? In the final analysis, this matter is still because of myself.
The cold ointment was applied to the arm, and it finally felt better. Xu Nanxing breathed a sigh of relief, and finally felt that his heart was relieved, otherwise the burning pain on his arm would make his heart twitch.
After Bai Ze finished dealing with Xu Nanxing's place, he moved the short couch to deal with Gu Huaizhi's wounds. Looking at Gu Huaizhi's gloomy face, he wished he could leave the house quickly without waiting for a second longer.
Finally, the treatment was finished. Before leaving, Bai Ze left the ointment for Xu Nanxing and told her and Gu Huaizhi to apply the ointment on time. If the redness and swelling were still there tomorrow morning, they should go to the hospital as soon as possible.
Xu Nanxing agreed one by one, and then asked, "Will there be any scars?..."
But he was shut up by a cold word.
"You deserve the scar!"
Xu Nanxing curled his lips.
Bai Ze saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he ran away.
When only the two of them were left in the room, Xu Nanxing got out of bed and moved to the low couch, and asked after consideration,
"Does our contract start today?"
Gu Huaizhi frowned and glanced at her, "What do you mean?"
"I mean do I need to stay tonight..."
Before the word "stay" was spoken, Gu Huaizhi's face turned cold again, "If you don't want to stay overnight, do you have to walk home from Nanshan Villa by yourself?"
Seeing him like this, Xu Nanxing shut up knowingly.
"Do you like a man like Bai Ze?"
A sudden sentence made Xu Nanxing confused.
She was a little confused and asked him, "What?"
It took a few seconds to realize why his face suddenly turned cold.
She just wanted to see clearly what steps Bai Ze had used to treat the wound, so she took a few more glances. Gu Huaizhi probably misunderstood.
Xu Nanxing was silent for a few seconds and then said, "I thought you knew what kind of man I like."
"Don't you like to be the one who is given up when you make a choice?" Gu Huaizhi snorted, "You have always been able to handle it clearly."
"Why are you mentioning the past again?" Xu Nanxing was silent for a while after speaking, then took the ointment on the table next to him, applied a little more on the back of his hand, and then said slowly, "Gu Huaizhi, this time It's our agreement. You give me the prosthetic limb I want, and I agree to the conditions you set. The prosthetic limb will be delivered and the money and goods will be paid."
"OK?"
Xu Nanxing gently put his hand on Gu Huaizhi's arm, as if pleading, but more like stating a fact.
What happened after meeting Gu Huai again made her understand that no matter how she planned her life, she could not resist the arrangement of fate. If God had given her the destiny to have a fight with Gu Huaizhi in order to achieve what she wanted in her heart, then she would be willing to go through it.
Gu Huaizhi sat up, put his hands on his knees, and looked at Xu Nanxing as if she didn't know him, trying to find a trace of reluctance or unwillingness on her face, but he didn't see it.
He raised his hand and pinched her chin, pulling her closer, but he only saw her calm face.
"You think quite clearly!"
"So what if I don't think clearly?" Xu Nanxing also looked back at him, "As long as I still live in Jingzhou, sooner or later I will still meet you, and I will still have to make this trip. It's the same whether I come early or come late. .”
"God has already arranged everything. Even if I change my path, the end result will be the same. It's just that some roads are easy to walk and some are a little bumpy..."
"Okay." Gu Huaizhi let go of her and gently curled his lips, "You seem to be smarter than last time."
Xu Nanxing licked her lips and smiled bitterly.
She's just more current.
"Okay, let's go to sleep. I'm tired after a night of noisy activities." Gu Huaizhi stood up, went to the other side of the bed, lifted the quilt and got into bed.
Xu Nanxing saw that he did not lie down, but was leaning on the bedside and looking at his mobile phone, obviously waiting for her, so he quickly stood up. First, I went to the cupboard to get my cell phone and sent a WeChat message to my sister, telling her that she would not be able to go back because there was a performance in the evening. Then he went around to the other side and got on the bed.
When Gu Huaizhi saw her getting into bed, he put down the phone in his hand and turned off the lamp on his side. "Go to sleep." After saying that, he had already laid down.
Xu Nanxing thought of something and reached out to touch him, but he grabbed his hand.
"Be honest, I'm tired."
"I just want to ask you..." Xu Nanxing got closer to him and whispered, "What should I say if I meet Yu Fei tomorrow morning?"
Gu Huaizhi was silent and said,
"I'm going to the airport at six o'clock tomorrow morning. If you can get up, come with me. I guess Yu Fei hasn't gotten up yet at that time. If..."
"I can get up, I can get up."
She could do whatever she wanted with Gu Huaizhi, and get angry at him if she was unhappy, but she couldn't do it with Gu Yufei. For such a gentle little girl, she didn't dare to lie to her child again.
The last time I lied to her and said I wanted to accompany him to rehab, she regretted it for a long time.
"Then go to sleep." Gu Huaizhi let go of her, took her burned arm out of the quilt, and warned, "Be careful, don't press it."
After speaking, he reached over Xu Nanxing and turned off the light on the other side.
The room became dark for a moment, leaving only the faint scent of white sandalwood mixed with orange blossom floating in the room, making them indescribably sweet.
