Chapter 262: Falling

Get approval.

She hurried forward and skillfully wrapped the wound tightly with her vest.

Because of the bandage.

She came very close.

at first glance.

It was like falling into Gu Zhou's arms.

Gu Zhou lowered his eyes.

His dark eyes stared at her eyelashes, which were clearly defined, long and curly.

tip of the nose.

A hint of woody floral scent came from her body.

Like new buds of gardenia emerging from the scorched wilderness, mixed with the feeling of silky tea, softness and hardness interweave to form a tender web that captures people's attention.

"Okay." She tied a bow with difficulty.

Before she could raise her eyelashes.

Gu Zhou first turned his gaze away and looked at the bandaged wound.

Her little white tank top was wrapped around his muscular arms.

No matter how you look at it, it feels awkward.

"Thank you for your hard work." He bent down to pick up his clothes.

The slender fingertips were one step faster than him.

"I'll help you." She said gently and shook the dust off his clothes.

Then she spread it open with both hands and looked at him sincerely: "Lower your head a little, I'll help you put it in, so that you won't have to use force with your hands."

Gu Zhou stared at her for two seconds, then bent down and matched her movements: "Okay."

Getting dressed is faster than taking off clothes.

After putting on the clothes, my cold body immediately felt warm.

The hottest.

It is a bandaged wound.

It's a bit itchy from being burned.

The wind was howling terribly outside.

Wang Yuanling gave up the idea of ​​going out to find firewood.

She held her cell phone and walked around the house.

Gu Zhou leaned lazily against the wall, watching her busying around quietly.

I don’t know what to do next.

Wang Yuanling searched around and finally found some wooden boards, waste paper, and a paint bucket in the corner, which were probably left over from the renovation. She took off the paint lid.

He walked to the center of the room carrying the wooden board.

He looked up at Gu Zhou, who was sitting like an old man: "Mr. Gu, do you have a lighter?"

Gu Zhou glanced at the pile of things and asked slowly: "Can it be lit?"

Wang Yuanling: "It should be possible. I'll try it. If it doesn't work, wait until the wind dies down a bit and I'll go out and find some firewood."

Gu Zhou glanced at the heart-wrenching wind that was creaking the windows and doors.

His careless black eyes swept over her again.

A woman who is not afraid of wind and snow is afraid of the dark?

"Goodbye, if anything happens to you, I will be the first suspect." He said coldly and threw the lighter in his pocket to her.

Wang Yuanling hurriedly reached out to catch it, muttering softly, "It's not like anything will happen to me."

She finished speaking.

He met Gu Zhou's inexplicably gloomy gaze in the darkness.

Subconsciously pursed his lips.

She took out a lipstick of Ji Mouxi's from her pocket, put it on the lid, and lit it with a lighter.

It ignites at a touch.

She hurriedly brought the waste paper closer.

The flames started up immediately.

She then placed the burning waste paper under the wooden boards piled in a triangle and let the fire ignite.

It took a while.

The board actually caught fire.

She raised her little face happily and looked at Gu Zhou with a smile: "Success."

Look at the flames.

The corner of Gu Zhou's lips tilted to one side, and there was a hint of surprise and appreciation in his dark eyes as he looked at her.

Quite interesting.

They sat facing each other across the fire.

Wang Yuanling rested his chin on his raised knees.

She murmured, "We are so lucky. We have a wooden house, wooden boards, and lighters."

Gu Zhou sat cross-legged, his idle eyes falling on her.

Look at her slender white hands approaching the fire, with her long pointed fingers spread out to warm them.

The image of the little fox stretching out its paws comfortably is embodied.

He raised his eyebrows casually: "You didn't mention the lipstick that fell in battle?"

Wang Yuanling's fair and smooth cheeks were baked by the fire, leaving two small spots of pale pink, making her smiling face even more vivid.

Her voice was soft and gentle, tinged with comfort. "It's a bit of a shame this color is out of print, but it doesn't matter. I can just buy another one when I get home."

Gu Zhou's jawline tightened slightly.

Lean your upper body back.

Nothing else.

It's just a little hot from the fire.

The wooden boards were crackling as they were burned by the fire.

Added background sounds for quiet environments.

Even if they didn't talk.

The scene wasn't so quiet as to be awkward.

Gu Zhou pulled down the zipper at his collar a little.

Suddenly he said lazily, "Have you thought about it now?"

Wang Yuanling's eyes were filled with confusion. "What did you think of?"

"Tell me what conditions you want me to agree to."

Wang Yuanling was warmed by the fire and his somewhat lazy thoughts instantly came back to his senses.

Eyes shining.

Gu Zhou saw it.

Her furry fox tail was shaking flexibly.

"Can I have five minutes of your time?"

Gu Zhou raised his lip, and seemed to want to pull the fox's tail: "Three minutes."

Her expression visibly changed.

But he immediately said firmly: "Sure, three minutes is enough."

It can stretch and shrink.

Gu Zhou raised his chin slightly and gestured.

Wang Yuanling quickly sat up straight.

He described the planning and development of the new World Trade Center site in a concise and efficient manner, racing against time.

Finally, Shui Mou Yunliang summarized, "So I think this plot of land can be combined with Gu's strengths in the medical field to create a large health city in a central location, integrating maternal and child care, medical care, and elderly care. What do you think, Mr. Gu?"

Gu Zhou considered with his dark eyes, and raised the corner of his lips slightly: "Such a good core plot, using it to build a health city, isn't it a waste?"

"Don't waste it! Although in the short term, commercial entities will benefit the most, from a long-term perspective, big health has become the future development trend. Once this health city is successfully built, it will be the largest benchmark in the city. The future impact and benefits will be very considerable."

Gu Zhou looked deeply at the woman in front of him through the flames. She was slender but had extraordinary vision and talent.

I laughed for no apparent reason.

I'm afraid the old couple Wang didn't expect this.

An adopted daughter.

Much more powerful than the 'Crown Prince' that he had carefully cultivated.

Facing her expectant little face.

Gu Zhou was ambivalent: "I'll think about it."

Even if he didn't agree immediately.

A flash of disappointment flashed across Wang Yuanling's watery eyes.

But soon, it disappeared in her gentle and soft smile.

"Okay, if you have anything else you want to know, feel free to ask me~"

Seeing that she was obviously disappointed, she pretended to be calm.

Gu Zhou lowered his eyes and sneered without knowing what was going on.

There are a limited number of planks available.

It's almost burned out.

Wang Yuanling turned his gaze to the curtain.

At least it's fleece.

Can keep warm.

She thought about it for a moment.

He hurriedly got up from the ground.

Gu Zhou's eyes followed her movements casually and moved to the curtains.

Curious.

What is she going to do now?

The curtains are in the old-fashioned hook style, so if you want to take them down, you can only take them down from the very top.

But she couldn't reach it even if she stretched out her hand.

She thought for a moment, folded to the place where the paint bucket was placed, and moved it over with great effort.

Gu Zhou just sat there, looking at her with a playful look.

Fortunately, the paint inside had dried long ago.

She turned the paint bucket upside down.

Holding on to the window, he stepped on the bottom of the bucket and tiptoed to unhook the hook.

One, two, those close to her were all picked off.

Gradually.

She stretched her hands farther and farther, and leaned her upper body further and further.

When you are about to reach the hook.

The tiptoes that were raised suddenly slipped.

"!" She suddenly lost her balance and fell to the ground.

Just when he was about to fall to the ground again.

Suddenly.

A big hand was placed on my waist.

Next second.

She was flipped from face down to face up.

It was so smooth that she even doubted whether he was a man or steel.

The arm strength is too strong.

Her heart was pounding.

The watery eyes trembled and lifted up.

Muran bumped into a line of sight as obscure as ink.

His raspy voice escaped from his chest, shaking the side of her arm that was pressed against it.

"How about you change your name to Mr. Shuai? It sounds much better than Mr. Ling."
