"Huh? What do you mean by that?"
Shen Beitang picked out the biggest strawberry and was just about to feed it to Gu Zhun when she was left completely bewildered by a single sentence.
"This is the biggest one, aren't you going to eat it?"
Shen Beitang brought the strawberry closer to Gu Zhun's mouth.
"I find it disgusting, how could I possibly eat it?"
Gu Zhun raised his hand and knocked the strawberry from Shen Beitang's hand to the ground.
The strawberry rolled a few times on the ground; its delicate flesh couldn't withstand such a bump and had already become rotten.
Shen Beitang never expected that her kind purchase of strawberries would be met with such ingratitude, and she couldn't suppress her anger.
"If you don't want to eat it, then don't eat it. Please don't waste it."
After saying that, he bent down to pick up the strawberries on the ground.
"So there was more than one."
Gu Zhun stared menacingly at the back of Shen Beitang's neck, where a deep red bruise was visible.
It stood out starkly against her snow-white skin.
"I'd like to see how many you have left."
Gu Zhun slung Shen Beitang over his shoulder like a sack of rice, holding him firmly in place with just one hand.
Being carried is not pleasant. Shen Beitang's stomach was right at the position of Gu Zhun's shoulder, and with each step, it was forcefully pushed upwards.
"Gu Zhun, let me go! You'll go crazy if you don't take your medicine for even a day."
Shen Beitang turned her head and bit Gu Zhun's back hard, while also pinching the wound.
Do you want to die?
Gu Zhun stood at the top of the spiral staircase, leaning slightly forward, as if half of his body was suspended in mid-air.
"If you want to die, I'll grant your wish right now."
Is Gu Zhun's hand merely hovering over Shen Beitang's leg? He could take her life at any moment if he wanted to.
"You're insane!"
The sudden feeling of weightlessness, the burning sensation in her stomach, and the rush of blood to her head made Shen Beitang feel her brain congested.
She suddenly developed a saintly heart, feeling sorry for Gu Zhun's background and that she had wronged him that day.
Looking back now, the most pitiful one is myself, who is about to die.
Gu Zhun stood on the stairs, looking down at the ground below, his eyes filled with indifference.
As long as he lets go, Shen Beitang will disappear completely, and all those who betrayed him should die.
No one can betray him, not even something he doesn't want.
Thinking this, Gu Zhun slowly began to loosen his grip.
Shen Beitang also felt the power that was binding her begin to disappear, and she gripped Gu Zhun's clothes tightly.
This is not my Gu Zhun!
A voice rang in Gu Zhun's mind; it was Shen Beitang's.
This feeling is familiar, like I've had it before, but it's gone now.
When Gu Zhun tried to hear it clearly again, the sound suddenly disappeared, as if it had never existed.
The damp touch on his back and the suppressed sobs brought Gu Zhun back to his senses.
"You're crying already?"
Gu Zhun, in a moment of great compassion, put Shen Beitang down.
Shen Beitang's already large eyes were now unbelievably red, and her long eyelashes were wet with tears, teetering on the verge of falling.
Gu Zhun found it very novel. In his memory, the woman in front of him had always seemed very strong, and she was frighteningly calm no matter what happened.
Why are you crying so pitifully now, as if you've suffered a tremendous injustice?
However, the marks on his neck became more noticeable as the temperature rose.
Hmph, whatever grievances Shen Beitang suffered, it was all his own doing!
"Who are you crying to now?"
Gu Zhun grabbed Shen Beitang's chin with one hand. The force was so great that it could dislocate a person's shoulder.
You think I'll let you off?
Shen Beitang had to brace himself against the ground with both hands to maintain his balance, but the pain in his heart was far greater than the physical pain.
It turns out that Gu Zhun loves Bai Ling so much that he wants to repay all the harm Bai Ling suffered on his own.
It turns out that everything in the mall was fake.
"Gu Zhun, it must be tiring to play the good guy in the mall. Just to maintain this persona, you had to watch Bai Ling get arrested. I bet you were heartbroken."
It's strange. I was clearly mocking Gu Zhun, but why can't I stop the tears from falling?
Gu Zhun snorted coldly, "How dare you bring up what happened this morning?" He slid his hand down from Shen Beitang's chin and grabbed the back of Shen Beitang's neck.
"Do you remember the events of this morning more clearly, or the people from this morning more clearly?"
Gu Zhun's hand was rubbing the carotid artery in his neck, right next to that disgusting mark.
If I hadn't stopped them this morning, wouldn't the two of them already be having a candlelight dinner?
However, Officer Gao is also a pitiful person.
If he knew that the person he liked immediately found another man after rejecting him, what would he think?
"Does Officer Gao know you're like this? But someone like him doesn't deserve it."
Gu Zhun covered the mark with his hand to avoid being bothered by it.
"I don't understand what you're saying at all?"
Shen Beitang answered weakly, her body limp and allowing Gu Zhun to manipulate her.
There was no heating in the hallway, and Shen Beitang's pajamas weren't thick; they were a summer style.
The chill from the ground spread up my bare legs, making me shiver all over.
"You, you let me go! I won't allow you to insult Officer Gao!"
Shen Beitang struggled with her icy hands, trying to break free from Gu Zhun's restraints.
"You're still trying to defend him now? You really are spreading your love too thin!"
Gu Zhun scooped the person up in his arms, strode into the bedroom, threw the person onto the bed, and pressed down on them.
Shen Beitang's hands were bound above her head with one hand, and the huge height difference made her appear to be overshadowed by Gu Zhun.
"Now I'll show you who you really belong to."
Gu Zhun's eyes were bloodshot; he could no longer see or hear anything.
Now all he wants is to completely make Shen Beitang, who is in front of him, his own.
The moment his hand touched her skin, Gu Zhun's rationality was somewhat restored.
Why is it so hot!
Shen Beitang lay on the bed, powerless to resist, his brows furrowed in discomfort.
His face was deathly pale, and he kept muttering to himself.
"Gu Zhun, water, want, drink water."
Gu Zhun snorted coldly, "Hmph, you only think of me when you need someone."
He specially took a light and warm silk quilt from the closet, changed the quilt cover to a pure cotton one, and gently covered her with it.
"I have done everything I could to be kind and righteous."
Having done all this, Gu Zhun was preparing to leave.
"Gu Zhun..."
Shen Beitang sobbed softly, her hands gripping the blanket tightly.
Although Gu Zhun was very reluctant, he still sat down on the edge of the bed with the other person.
He held Shen Beitang's hand in his palm and patted it stiffly.
"Um……"
Shen Beitang turned around and leaned closer to Gu Zhun's hand, using it as a pillow.
"Let go, I'll go get you an ice pack."
Whenever Gu Zhun tried to pull away, Shen Beitang's head would move along with him, as if he had applied 520 (a type of anti-inflammatory drug) to his hand.
With no other option, Gu Zhun had to obediently sit back down.
Looking at Shen Beitang's gradually peaceful sleeping face, he felt somewhat ridiculous.
How did I end up being played by this woman again?
