Following Gu Zhendong's gaze, a girl was standing under the eaves.

The rain soaked her clothes and hair, leaving her looking quite disheveled and drenched.

Gu Zhendong narrowed his eyes, wondering what she was holding so carefully, as if she were cradling a priceless treasure.

A sharp pain shot through his head, and Gu Zhendong spoke again in a deep voice, "Go now!"

The driver reacted instantly, opened the car door, grabbed an umbrella, and rushed over.

Lu Huan answered a phone call. The driver apologized profusely, explaining that the heavy rain and traffic jam meant it would take at least half an hour for him to arrive.

Lu Huan looked worriedly at the little thing in her palm. The kitten seemed to have lost its strength and lay listlessly on her palm.

We need to take it to the vet as soon as possible.

A man in a suit suddenly walked over holding a black umbrella. "Miss, my husband would like to invite you to get in the car."

Lu Huan blinked blankly, then realized what was happening, a hint of wariness in her eyes, "Who is your husband?"

This is still the entrance to a brothel; who knows what kind of old, ugly lecherous ghost it might be.

Lu Huan's first reaction was disgust, and she instinctively wanted to leave.

The driver politely replied, "My husband's surname is Gu."

Is your surname Gu?

Just a few minutes ago, she asked a man surnamed Gu for his WeChat.

Could it be him?

Thinking about it again, it seems unlikely, since people didn't look at her with much affection back then.

"Feel sorry."

Lu Huan refused to get in the car, but the driver returned and reported the truth to Gu Zhendong.

Gu Zhendong glanced at the girl in the corridor through the car window, his dark eyes unfathomable.

Just as the driver was about to say something, Gu Zhendong suddenly pushed open the door and got out of the car.

Lu Huan kept looking in the direction the driver had left, never expecting that the person would actually get out of the car.

A man strode over, holding a black umbrella. His rain-soaked leather shoes pattered on the steps. As the black umbrella fell from above, the man's face was revealed—it was Gu Zhendong, whom she had thought was impossible.

The man had a pair of extremely beautiful eyes, dark and deep as water, gazing at people.

A face so stunning it startled her. Lu Huanxin panicked and began to jump around rapidly, oblivious to the torrential rain outside.

The world suddenly fell silent, and she could only hear her own heart pounding wildly.

Lu Huan's ears inexplicably turned red. "Why is it you?"

Her voice was soft and gentle, tinged with a hint of doubt and surprise.

Upon hearing her voice, Gu Zhendong instantly felt his headache lessen, not as painful as before.

He was unusually talkative, explaining, "It's raining heavily, get in the car, I'll take you home."

Is he being so kind?

The kitten in her arms needed to be taken to the vet for a check-up urgently, and Lu Huan didn't hesitate much, "Thank you."

Lu Huan is a very hypocritical person; how could she refuse an invitation from a handsome man?

Besides, she's in a real hurry right now.

The umbrella was large, and Lu Huan moved closer to him so that the two could share the umbrella.

Gu Zhendong looked ahead. The little girl was very close to him. A faint scent of wine wafted from her side, lingering around his nose for a fleeting moment.

The rain pattered down on the umbrella, its sound as clear and melodious as jade.

Just a few steps away, Lu Huan got into his car.

The car was very spacious. As soon as Gu Zhendong got in, he heard a few weak meows coming from Lu Huan's palm.

The meowing was unmistakable. Lu Huan picked up the kitten and explained, "I found this kitten in the bushes by the roadside. If I hadn't saved it, the little guy wouldn't have survived tonight."

Lu Huan wiped the kitten with a wet wipe, and the dark little thing gradually revealed its original colors; it was a rather cute little calico.

Lu Huan thought it was cute, but Gu Zhendong didn't find the dark, lumpy thing in Lu Huan's palm cute at all.

He has a severe case of mysophobia, and his brows furrowed suddenly as he noticed that not only the kitten but also Lu Huan's hands and clothes were stained with dirt.

He began to regret letting Lu Huan get into his car.

Lu Huan observed the man's expression and saw that he looked displeased. She had originally wanted to let him take a good look at the kitten, but she silently took the kitten back.

He won't suddenly change his mind and ask me to get off the bus, will he?

There were clean towels in the trunk, and the driver took them and draped them over Lu Huan.

She was very wet; she would get sick if she didn't dry herself off.

Lu Huan smiled and thanked him, draping one towel over her shoulders and wrapping the kitten's body with the other.

"Could you take me to a nearby hospital first?" Lu Huan asked tentatively.

If the man wasn't willing, she might as well get out of the car and take a taxi herself.

Gu Zhendong dislikes these furry little animals and never lets cats or dogs get close to him, but today is a special case.

Gu Zhendong had a terrible headache, but after hearing her voice, the stabbing pain in his brain gradually subsided.

He didn't know if it was a coincidence or something else.

Gu Zhendong stared intently at the little kitten in her palm, then hummed in agreement.

Lu Huan thanked him happily, but looked at him with a rather surprised expression.

She probably didn't expect that he, who looked so cold, would be so easy to talk to.

Upon hearing this, the driver immediately navigated to the nearest pet hospital and stepped on the gas.

She gently touched the kitten's head with her fingertips and coaxed softly, "Be good, I'll take you to the vet in a little while."

After wiping it clean, the kitten's fur was still wet, so I wrapped its thin body in a towel.

This little calico baby must have been born just a few days ago; its eyes haven't even opened yet.

Looking at the wrapped-up little one, she murmured to herself with heartache, "Did your mother forget to take you with her when she moved? Poor thing!"

The kitten couldn't understand human speech and kept meowing; it was incredibly pitiful.

Lu Huan coaxed the kitten, "Are you hungry? You'll have food soon, just wait a little longer!"

Gu Zhendong closed his eyes to rest, and Lu Huan's gentle voice filled his ears, gradually calming down his physical discomfort.

In his mind, Gu Zhendong communicated with Xiao Hao using his consciousness.

Why does my headache stop as soon as I hear her voice?

— Xiao Hao's cold reply: I don't know.

Xiao Hao was also confused. It was just a bound system, not an omnipotent one, and it couldn't know everything.

The rain outside was heavy and showed no signs of stopping anytime soon.

At the nearest veterinary hospital, Lu Huan handed the kitten to the vet.

Gu Zhendong originally intended to stay in the car, but glancing at Lu Huan out of the corner of his eye, he thought she would speak, so he followed her in.

After the veterinarian finished examining the kitten, Lu Huan stood by its side, asking with concern, "Doctor, it's so small, will it be alright?"

"There's nothing seriously wrong."

Lu Huan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the worry in her eyes faded.

The kitten was only a few days old when it got caught in the rain, making it extremely weak.

After deworming, the vet fed the kitten some goat milk. "And it's a male kitten!"

Lu Huan exclaimed in surprise, "Really? This is the first time I've ever seen a male calico cat!"

99% of calico cats are female, and I never expected that she would encounter that 1% of females.

After the little one had eaten and drunk his fill, he curled up comfortably in the towel and fell asleep.

The little guy was so cute with its fluffy fur that Lu Huan couldn't resist reaching out and petting it a few times.

She left the hospital carrying the kitten and got into the man's car.

Lu Huan looked at the man beside her who was resting with his eyes closed. She felt grateful that he had brought her to the pet hospital without saying a word and stayed with her while looking after the little calico cat.

After a moment of silence in the car, Gu Zhendong felt a tightness in his chest and couldn't breathe again.

After leaving the hospital, she barely uttered a single word.

Gu Zhendong had his own selfish reasons. Lu Huan's voice was like a painkiller to him; as long as he heard her voice, his head would stop hurting.

The girl's gaze was so intense that Gu Zhendong suddenly opened his eyes and met her clear gaze.

Lu Huan was surprised when he suddenly opened his eyes, and their eyes met. The man's good looks were undeniable, and Lu Huan could hear her heart pounding wildly. Her cheeks quickly flushed red.

Fortunately, the visibility inside the car was poor, so her flushed cheeks shouldn't be too noticeable.

After a few seconds of silence, the man spoke, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Why are you looking at him?

It's because he's handsome that people can't help but take a second look.

If you directly compliment a man on his good looks, you can bet he'll be furious.

Lu Huan chuckled dryly, rolled her eyes, and said, "Well, I wanted to thank you."

"Um?"

"Thank you for bringing me to the vet and for saving the kitten."

In just a few words, about ten, Gu Zhendong felt much more comfortable listening to her voice. "You really want to thank me?"

Gu Zhendong looked at her strangely, and a big question mark appeared above Lu Huan's head. "How do you want me to thank you?"

A jumble of thoughts suddenly surfaced in my mind.

Honestly, when she bumped into the man at noon, he seemed unhappy, but now he's willing to take her to the vet and even drive her home.

There's definitely something fishy going on here!

etc!

Could it be that he's attracted to her beauty and wants her to marry him?

Don't think that just because you saved her cat's life you can do whatever you want. Don't even think about it!

You can look at handsome men, but you can't touch them.

Lu Huan thought carefully about what she had done that might have caused the man to misunderstand. After thinking it over, she remembered that she had confessed her feelings to him before asking for his contact information at the Heaven on Earth.

Could it be that he actually believed it?

Lu Huan coughed lightly, met Gu Zhendong's gaze, and said weakly, "Actually, you misunderstood when I confessed to you at Heaven on Earth. I didn't really fall in love with you at first sight. I lost a game, and my friend told me to confess to a man and get his contact information. Don't take it seriously!"

She said those words, "Don't take it seriously," in a coquettish and charming voice, yet her eyes were so earnest.

Gu Zhendong had no idea what Lu Huan was thinking, and of course he didn't take the confession to heart.

Lu Huan spoke dozens of words in a row, and Gu Zhendong felt much more relieved.

He stared at Lu Huan's face for a few seconds, lost in thought.

A moment later, Gu Zhendong took out a document and handed it to Lu Huan, saying, "If you really want to thank me, read this to me."

Lu Huan glanced at the document handed to him, which read "XX Agreement," and was immediately stunned, frozen in place.

"Wh-what?"

Should I have her read the agreement?

There's probably something wrong with this handsome man's head!

Gu Zhendong raised his phoenix eyes, "Didn't you say you wanted to thank me? You should at least do something practical, right?"

Lu Huan: ...

The man's expression didn't seem like he was joking, so Lu Huan had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the document, beginning to read it slowly.

Lu Huan: Sigh, I'm just an emotionless reading machine~
