Chapter 26 Craving Your Body
On the bus.
Gu Heng said, "I'll take you to the hospital."
Chu Xiang quickly said, "My foot is just a little uncomfortable, I don't need to go to the hospital, and I hate the smell of disinfectant in the hospital."
At the traffic light, Gu Heng stopped the car and silently looked at her.
Chu Xiang blinked her dark, moist eyes and said pitifully, "I'm scared to go to the hospital. Can we not go to the hospital?"
Gu Heng was momentarily dazed.
Her tearful appearance was exactly the same as in his dream.
As if his most secret and unspeakable thoughts had been exposed, Gu Heng withdrew his gaze from her. His throat tightened slightly, and his voice was a little hoarse. "I'll take you to the pharmacy to buy some medicine."
There was a pharmacy nearby, and Gu Heng told the pharmacist that Chu Xiang had sprained her ankle. The pharmacist then prescribed some topical medicine for Chu Xiang.
However, although Chu Xiang seemed quite intelligent, she was probably a bit uncoordinated. In addition, the car was cramped, so her movements to apply medicine to her ankle were very clumsy. She would either drop the medicine bottle or wince in pain from her own movements.
Gu Heng couldn't bear to watch any longer. He sat down in the back seat of the car with Chu Xiang. He bent down, but his hand, which was about to touch Chu Xiang's ankle, remained suspended in mid-air, as if he had some reservations and dared not touch her foot.
Chu Xiang's eyes darted around, and she immediately lifted her leg and placed it across the man's thigh.
Gu Heng: "..."
Today she was wearing a skirt that didn't even reach her knees, her legs were beautifully shaped, slender and long, and her ankles looked like they could be held in one hand by a man. Her calves were rubbing against the fabric of his suit pants, the black and white colors constantly stimulating one's vision.
He was usually very particular about rules and demanded the utmost meticulousness, but now, seeing the girl's legs pressing down on his pants and creating wrinkles, he couldn't muster the urge to push her legs away.
In stark contrast to her bold actions, Chu Xiang cautiously said, "Brother Gu, I can't apply the medicine properly, can you help me?"
She seemed very afraid of being rejected; her bright eyes were filled with nervousness and anticipation. Perhaps she was just naturally timid and cowardly. Afraid that Gu Heng would be unwilling to help, she lowered her gaze, her eyelashes trembling slightly. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to trouble you. My foot just hurts too much. I'll do it myself."
As she spoke, she tried to lower her legs, but the man's hands gripped her ankles.
Chu Xiang raised her eyes, her gaze filled with doubt, "Brother Gu?"
Her legs seemed too cold, but his hands seemed too hot. The temperature difference brought a chill that swept over her, like a storm rising on a calm lake. And yet, at this moment, she still had to call him "Brother Gu".
It was as if she was reminding him that there was another layer between them: the future uncle and sister-in-law relationship.
Gu Heng's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and his voice lowered a few decibels, "Don't move around."
Chu Xiang obediently stopped moving. She lowered her head guiltily and whispered, "Brother Gu, I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
Gu Heng: "Quiet, don't speak."
Chu Xiang shut her mouth.
He opened the ointment, avoiding her gaze and not daring to look at her face. He asked, "Which foot?"
After waiting for a while without receiving a reply, Gu Heng shifted his gaze slightly, his eyes landing on the girl's delicate and beautiful face. She was pursing her lips, as if a zipper was pulled up, preventing her from saying another word.
Gu Heng was silent for a moment, then said, "Speak."
Chu Xiang immediately said, "Both of my feet hurt a lot."
He asked, "Two feet?"
Chu Xiang said seriously, "It seems like I only sprained my left ankle, but now the pain seems to have spread to my right ankle. I don't even know which ankle I sprained. Brother Gu, what should we do?"
Her eyes were clear and bright, innocent and pure; she wasn't lying at all.
She even asked him what to do?
Of course, you should apply the medicine to both feet at the same time.
Gu Heng didn't say anything more. He first applied the ointment to her left foot with very gentle movements. It was hard to imagine that this stern man could be so gentle with his hands.
Chu Xiang reminded him, "Brother Gu, should we rub it again?"
Gu Heng didn't even look up. "Do it yourself."
"No, I'm afraid of the pain, I can't do it." Chu Xiang said again, "I read in the instructions that you should massage it after applying the medicine to help it promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis."
Gu Heng didn't reply.
Chu Xiang muttered to herself in distress, "I think I'll have to ask someone for help later, but I don't have any friends. My dad is abroad, my brother is studying, and my mom is researching wild men in the primeval forest. I can't find anyone who can massage my feet. After thinking about it, it seems like I can only ask Gu Jue..."
He suddenly tightened his grip on her ankle.
Chu Xiang cried out, "It hurts!"
Gu Heng belatedly let go of her hand and whispered, "Sorry."
After a while, he gently grasped her ankle again, stiffly and clumsily massaging it.
His movements were so gentle that Chu Xiang felt as if she were being carefully protected. The soft touch made her heart itch, and she flinched, then laughed.
Gu Heng raised his eyes slightly and saw her smiling face.
She smiled and said, "It's so itchy."
It's less of a complaint and more like a spoiled act.
Gu Heng couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips into a faint smile.
In the past, Gu Heng would drop Chu Xiang off at the entrance of the residential complex and then leave. However, because Chu Xiang had sprained her ankle today, he entered the complex with her and took the elevator to her apartment floor.
As soon as Chu Xiang stepped out of the elevator, she waved and said, "Brother Gu, thank you for today. Please drive safely. Goodbye."
Gu Heng nodded slightly before the elevator doors closed. "Goodbye."
Chu Xiang was very happy today. Although Gu Jue had caused an accident, her plan had still succeeded. Humming an off-key tune, she skipped and hopped towards the entrance of her apartment.
What methods should I use to seduce him in the future?
Chu Xiang decided to go back to her apartment and lie down to think things through.
After turning the corner of the corridor, a tall and slender young man leaned against the wall. He listened to the girl's light footsteps fading into the distance. For some reason, despite feeling angry at being deceived, the unfamiliar emotions welling up in his heart had nothing to do with anger.
Gu Heng made a call to Assistant Yin, "Assistant Yin, I have a friend."
Assistant Yin, who was cooking at home, held a spatula in one hand while listening to the voice on the phone. He was silent for a moment, then asked, "What happened to President Gu's friend?"
He didn't understand why a young girl would deliberately pretend to sprain her ankle in front of him.
Assistant Yin was shocked. "Mr. Gu, that girl is definitely trying to scam us! You have to be careful... cough, I mean your friend has to be careful, don't let him get fooled!"
Gu Heng: "Why would she lie to my...friend?"
Assistant Yin: "It's simple. They must be after your... friend's money. It can't be that they're after your... friend's body!"
Although Gu Heng is difficult to approach, making many women feel that he is too cold and hard, it cannot be ruled out that some people approach him because of his background. Over the years, there have been women who have tried to get something out of him, but unfortunately, Gu Heng has never fallen for their traps.
As soon as Assistant Yin heard what Gu Heng said on the phone, he realized that things were not simple.
Gu Heng recalled the sparkling looks the girl had given him many times, and said calmly, "What if she really just wanted my body?"
I heard a clattering sound coming from the phone, probably from pots and pans falling to the ground.
Assistant Yin couldn't believe it, and his out-of-control voice came out: "President Gu, please wake up! How could a perfectly healthy young girl like an old man?"
Gu Heng, an old man, hung up the phone.
Assistant Yin walked to the kitchen doorway. Looking at his wife playing with their daughter, he was filled with regret. "Honey, I suspect I'm out of this month's bonus."
His wife and daughter were fighting over the game console when they heard this. Without even looking up, she replied, "So what if you don't have one? I told you to quit your job and rest at home a long time ago. We don't need your salary. I'll support you. If you're bored, I'll buy you an island to play on sometime."
Assistant Yin raised her hand to her forehead.
The little girl with pigtails couldn't win against her mother and watched helplessly as her mother monopolized the game console. She pouted and angrily said, "Are you even my real mother?! You're such a grown-up, and you're still trying to take things from me!"
The woman glanced at the little girl sideways, her whole being radiating contempt. "We're all experiencing life for the first time, why should I give way to you?"
The little girl ran to the kitchen door and hugged her father's leg, complaining pitifully, "Yin An, can't you control your wife?!"
Assistant Yin hurried to the kitchen, saying, "This is a conflict between you and your mother, so please don't involve me."
