Xu Zhaozhao didn't speak again and lowered her eyes, no longer looking at him.

Silently, she took out the first-aid kit, pulled his hand over, and gave it a simple bandage.

There were no vital injuries, but two shocking red marks on her fair hand.

Ten minutes later, Gu Qingyan was pushed into the car to the hospital by Xu Zhaozhao.

She's not a professional doctor, after all; if she leaves scars, it will ruin those hands that are like works of art.

Gu Qingyan did not resist. He knew that Zhao Zhao hated ugly things the most.

After getting into the car, amidst Chi Li's chaotic antics, Xu Zhaozhao managed to get him to the hospital, and then she didn't say another word.

The carriage was very quiet. She didn't look at Gu Qingyan, but just stared quietly at the scenery rushing past the window.

It's already 3 a.m., but the bustling capital city is still dazzling.

Her eyes were unfocused; it was unclear whether she was looking at the scenery or lost in thought.

Suddenly, her somewhat ethereal voice came from the side.

"Gu Qingyan, what makes you think I'll forgive you for apologizing like this?"

He kept looking at her, never getting tired of seeing her.

Hearing her words, he twitched the corner of his mouth, raised his hand and poked her cheek, just like she had done before.

"I don't want your forgiveness."

Xu Zhaozhao will never forget what he just said.

The creators of nightmares do not deserve to be forgiven.

I can only orchestrate another nightmare, one in which you are not the one who caused the injury, to overshadow the original nightmare.

Xu Zhaozhao always believed that once the damage had been done, it was irreparable.

But no one has ever been so crazy as to hurt herself to lessen her sensitivity to harm.

He's right, Xu Zhaozhao will never forgive him.

But she can't remember many of the details. How long will it take... before she completely forgets about this?

Xu Zhaozhao couldn't be happy.

But strangely enough, she now believed that Gu Qingyan would no longer tie her up and imprison her in that dark room.

She took his hand, and the wound had soaked the simple white gauze she had wrapped around it red.

Xu Zhaozhao finally said those words, "Don't hurt yourself anymore."

"good."

Gu Qingyan agreed readily.

Today was only out of necessity; normally, Gu Qingyan takes good care of his health.

This physical body, which he had previously hated so much, was his only bargaining chip.

He shamelessly squeezed next to Xu Zhaozhao, nuzzling her neck like a little puppy, and occasionally kissing her ear.

He kept her so busy that Xu Zhaozhao couldn't concentrate on thinking.

Fortunately, we arrived at the hospital quickly.

The hospital was still bustling at three in the morning, with sirens, cries, and hurried footsteps all mixed together.

Once inside the private elevator, everything is shut out.

bite.

"Brother, it's three in the morning, you really don't..."

Chi Li arrived a little earlier than them; Gu Qingyan had informed him, assuming he was alone.

When his gaze fell upon Xu Zhaozhao standing beside him, he suddenly stopped speaking.

A hint of wariness gradually crept into his eyes.

Xu Zhaozhao ignored it.

Others may not know, but Chi Li certainly does; he is Gu Qingyan's psychologist.

If Gu Qingyan hadn't told him anything, he wouldn't be alive now.

"If you stand still any longer, he'll bleed to death."

Xu Zhaozhao's somewhat cold and harsh words jolted Chi Li awake, and his attention shifted entirely to Gu Qingyan.

"Holy crap?!"

When Chi Li saw the wound on his wrist, he became even less concerned about panicking and swearing.

Gu Qingyan glanced at him and explained leisurely, "It's not self-harm."

Xu Zhaozhao laughed.

How is this different from self-harm?

Gu Qingyan was pushed into the ward by Chi Li. Xu Zhaozhao did not follow him in, but instead lit a cigarette in the smoking area.

Xu Zhaozhao doesn't like smoking, which shows how depressed she is right now.

...

In the ward, Gu Qingyan finally changed out of his loose bathrobe and into a hospital gown.

Chi Li carefully unwrapped the gauze, revealing two neat incisions, and paused.

It certainly doesn't look like self-harm.

"What happened?"

Gu Qingyan didn't seem to care much, "It's from the handcuffs."

?

What the hell is that?

Chi Ligang wanted to ask him what he had done to get arrested, but his gaze fell on the newly healed red mark on the side of his neck...

My native language is speechless.

"You city folks have such a refined taste."

Chi Li twitched his lips and picked up a cotton ball to disinfect him.

Listen closely, and you can hear a hint of sarcasm in his words.

Gu was injured like this, so why did that woman abandon him and ignore him as soon as they arrived at the hospital?

On the other hand, I was also thinking...

Why would Gu Qingyan play this game with her? Does she have sadistic tendencies?

"This is not a romantic gesture."

Gu Qingyan spoke indifferently: "Doctor Chi, doesn't this scene seem familiar?"

Before he could continue speculating, Gu Qingyan dismissed all of Chi Li's absurd ideas.

He paused, the cotton ball he was using for disinfection, looking at the bloody wounds on Gu Qingyan's hands. The memories in his mind overlapped with the scene before him.

About five months ago, he treated Xu Zhaozhao's foot injury, and the condition of the wound was almost exactly the same.

Chi Li, who was usually very talkative, suddenly fell silent.

Although he was subjectively biased towards Gu Qingyan, he still possessed basic judgment.

Imprisonment, in any form, is wrong.

Gu Ge did make a mistake in this matter.

After going through all this, Chi Li seemed to understand why Xu Zhaozhao had always been so ruthless towards Brother Gu.

She lowered her eyes and silently treated Gu Qingyan's wounds before bandaging them.

"I still have to ask one question,"

After finishing, Chi Li looked up at Gu Qingyan and asked earnestly, "You really don't have any self-harm tendencies?"

"No."

Gu Qingyan replied frankly, "Don't worry about me, unless my wife tells me to die."

bite--

The tweezers that Chi Li had raised fell into the tray with a crisp sound.

It's over.

Gu Qingyan can't live without her for the rest of his life.

"Remember to take your medicine, otherwise you'll get a scar and your wife will hate you."

Chi Li rolled her eyes dramatically.

Without saying another word, he picked up his tray and left the ward.

As I walked out of the materials room, I saw Xu Zhaozhao standing by the window smoking.

She held a cigarette in her hand, but it wasn't lit.

They all came from Gu Qingyan.

Although he had just changed his opinion of her somewhat, Chi Li still couldn't let go of the resentment that she had caused Gu Qingyan.

"Stop blowing air. If you catch a cold, who will worry about you?"

Chi Li still went over and gave him a word of advice.

The lingering smell of tobacco in the air made Chi Li frown.

Xu Zhaozhao didn't seem to have taken it all in, but she put away her cigarette and headed towards Gu Qingyan's ward.

Chi Li didn't follow, but silently complained in his heart.

Disgusting couple!

"Miss Xu, could you please keep an eye on him and make sure he takes his medicine?"
