Chapter 286 Other Possibilities (Seeking Gold Tickets)

Only after the Xue family left did Su Nanzhi finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Just as she was about to jump into her room, a tall figure came in through the main door.

Gu Xizhou was holding the medicinal wine he had just bought from the hospital.

"Are you...Uncle Xue okay?"

After putting the medicinal wine on the table, Gu Xizhou spoke for a long while before saying this.

Thinking of how Xue Jiawang left, although he looked angry, he was still in good spirits, Su Nanzhi nodded.

"It's okay, it should be fine after a while."

Gu Xizhou also nodded, and his eyes unconsciously fell on Su Nanzhi.

After a busy morning, Su Nanzhi's cheeks were slightly flushed, and she looked indescribably lively.

Gu Xizhou's gaze stayed on her for a few seconds before he looked away as if nothing had happened.

"I met Brother Long's men at the Civil Affairs Bureau this morning."

Hearing that he was talking about serious matters, Su Nanzhi immediately became serious.

"You haven't told me yet what else I need to do besides pretending to be your wife?"

Gu Xizhou showed a guilty look on his face, "If it weren't for what happened last night, I would have moved out of your house today."

"but……"

Su Nanzhi thought about what happened last night, and a hint of discomfort appeared on her face. She interrupted him, "Gu Xizhou, you are not a fussy person. Things have happened, and it's too late to regret now."

Gu Xizhou pulled up a bitter smile. If Su Nanzhi knew what she was involved in, she would definitely not be so relaxed now.

He sighed deeply, and then briefly told Su Nanzhi about what happened with Nakajima Daibian.

Su Nanzhi didn't know Nakajima Dabian, but she could tell from Gu Xizhou's cautious expression that this person was dangerous.

But last night when she and Gu Xizhou were caught in bed together, she and "Lin Sen" were tied together.

"You don't need to do anything, just keep a detached relationship with me."

A hint of helplessness flashed in Gu Xizhou's eyes.

The organization had asked him to communicate with Su Nanzhi before just to prevent Su Nanzhi and people in the know from revealing his true identity.

Unexpectedly, now Su Nanzhi not only has to keep this secret, but also has to help him cover up the lie.

"Don't worry, I will protect you." His voice was deep and full of unquestionable strength. "I won't let anyone hurt you."

Su Nanzhi met his determined gaze, lowered her head as if to avoid it, and saw a few drops of blood that appeared on his waist at some point in time.

"Your injury."

Without caring about anything else, Su Nanzhi grabbed the corner of his clothes, but he suddenly grabbed her wrist.

"It's just a minor injury." Gu Xizhou's voice was very light. When she wanted to lift the hem of her clothes to check, he increased his strength, "Don't touch it."

"Did you use too much force when you hugged me just now?" Su Nanzhi didn't care about being embarrassed. She held the corner of his clothes with a little force, and her face unconsciously showed some helplessness. "I forgot. If I had known, I wouldn't have done it today..."

Gu Xizhou suddenly leaned forward, interrupting Su Nanzhi's unfinished words, and his breath with the scent of cedar brushed past her ears: "Are you concerned about me?"

Su Nanzhi's ears immediately turned red and she pushed him away.

"We are just colleagues for now, you..."

Before she could finish her words, she was startled by Gu Xizhou's suddenly pale face.

Gu Xizhou covered the wound on his waist with his left hand, met Su Nanzhi's worried eyes, and forced a smile.

"I'm fine..."

"How can you be okay like this?" Su Nanzhi was a little panicked. "Where are your medicines?"

Seeing that Gu Xizhou didn't say anything, Su Nanzhi couldn't wait any longer and "ran" to her room with a limp.

After entering the room, she pretended to look for something in the closet, but actually took out the medicine that Grandpa Xu had given her before from the space. However, after getting the medicine, she added spiritual spring water to it, which would make the effect better.

When Su Nanzhi "walked" out of the room, she saw Gu Xizhou looking down at the injury on his waist.

The bandage around her waist was already oozing blood, and the wound beneath the bandage was much more hideous than she had imagined.

It was not until Su Nanzhi was only a few steps away that Gu Xizhou reacted and immediately let go of the corner of his clothes.

Because his rough movements affected the wound, Gu Xizhou couldn't help but frown slightly.

Su Nanzhi said with a stern face, "Relax."

Without waiting for Gu Xizhou's reaction, he lowered his head and lifted the corner of Gu Xizhou's clothes again.

Gu Xizhou only felt a faint fragrance rushing straight to his nose, and his whole body tensed up instantly, "I've been injured worse than this on the battlefield before, I'm really okay...hiss."

Su Nanzhi applied the medicine on Gu Xizhou's wound without any hesitation. After hearing his gasp, she couldn't help but reveal a faint smile at the corner of her mouth.

Humph, I'll let you down.

But the next second, she couldn't help but be a little lighter when applying medicine to Gu Xizhou's wound.

Gu Xizhou lowered his head and looked at Su Nanzhi's serious profile, his heart was unnaturally soft.

His left hand, which was hanging by his side, rose unconsciously, but froze the moment it was about to touch her hair.

Not yet...

Seeing that the wound finally stopped bleeding, Su Nanzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, seeing how hideous and terrifying the wound was, she subconsciously blew gently on it.

"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, it hurts so much."

As soon as she said this, Su Nanzhi realized that the person in front of her was not Qin Xiaofeng who was a few years old in the previous life, but Gu Xizhou who was in his twenties.

Gu Xizhou's breathing stagnated, his Adam's apple rolled up and down unnaturally, and the tips of his ears were red enough to drip blood.

He grabbed Su Nanzhi's still-moving hand and said, "Alright."

The voice was hoarse and low, and this time the person who felt uncomfortable was Su Nanzhi.

"I just..." Su Nanzhi's eyes involuntarily fell on Gu Xizhou's well-defined abdominal muscles. She happened to see a bead of sweat slowly rolling down the grooves of the muscles and finally disappearing at the edge of his waistband.

Realizing that she looked like a pervert, Su Nanzhi's face turned red instantly, and she quickly changed the gauze for Gu Xizhou.

"alright."

She almost jumped up and tried to flee back to her room, but Gu Xizhou grabbed her wrist. The temperature of his palm was shockingly hot, yet his strength was incredibly gentle.

"Besides our temporary relationship as colleagues..."

"Isn't there any other possibility?"
