Gu Xiuyuan took Su Yan away, and the aunt cleaned the guest room neatly, as if she didn't want to leave any trace of Su Yan.
After tossing and turning for several days, Ji Shuyu was really sleepy, but she couldn't sleep well in her daze.
When I woke up from the dream, it was already dark, but Gu Xiuyuan had not returned.
It turned out that he didn't send Su Yan away, but left with Su Yan.
The house was empty, and this deadly familiar feeling made her panic.
Is it true that from now on, this place will become the same as before...
…
"Miss, please eat something." Auntie said.
Dinner has been heated up three times.
She originally thought that after her husband came back, the lady would no longer have trouble eating or sleeping, but how come the situation has become worse after her husband came back?
"I'll eat later." She forced a soothing smile. "I need to take a shower and wash my hair first. My hands are not very convenient. Can you help me later?"
"Hey, sir." Hearing that she wanted to eat, the aunt nodded hurriedly. "Then I'll go downstairs and heat up the food and come back."
Ji Shuyu smiled and nodded.
Growing up, not many people cared about her, so she could never refuse the kindness of those who really cared about her.
…
Auntie went downstairs, and Ji Shuyu walked into the bathroom, adjusted the water temperature herself, and wet her hair.
She always thought that she was a person with good self-care ability, but she seemed to have overestimated herself. As soon as she made bubbles, the bubbles flowed into her eyes with the water.
She struggled to grab the wash basin and hurriedly turned on the faucet to rinse. When she heard footsteps, she hurriedly called out, "Auntie, come and help me, the foam has flowed into my eyes."
As footsteps approached, she reached out hurriedly: "Give me the towel quickly, my eyes hurt."
She reached out to grope, but when she couldn't find the towel, her wrist was grabbed by a broad hand.
Ji Shuyu was startled and opened her eyes.
Just one glance and I immediately started to cry because of the foam.
The towel was handed to her. Ji Shuyu took it, wiped her eyes which were irritated, and then stood up straight.
Looking at the man who suddenly appeared, her eyes were full of shock.
Why is he back?!
Didn’t he leave with Su Yan!
Gu Xiuyuan looked at the shocked Ji Shuyu. What was that expression on her face? Was it so surprising that he came back?
"You can't get your hand wet when it's injured, don't you know?" He frowned slightly, dissatisfied with her not taking good care of herself.
The first thing he said was something Ji Shuyu hadn't expected. If it was in the past, it was still normal, but now...
She looked at her hand and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, just a minor injury."
The burn on her hand was red and swollen, and she actually called it a minor injury?!
His fingers tightened a few inches.
Ji Shuyu wanted to pull her hand away, but was unable to break free from his large palm.
Her injured hand had been hurt by him twice, and she had already felt the trauma, so she didn't insist on breaking free.
"Let me go." She said lightly.
Sensing her resistance, Gu Xiuyuan took a breath and spoke slowly. "I'll help you."
The bathroom floor was covered in foam, and fearing she would slip, Gu Xiuyuan didn't get a chair, but instead pushed her down to sit on the toilet lid.
He took off his watch, unbuttoned his cufflinks, and rolled up his sleeves, revealing his well-defined, beautiful forearms.
It was a simple and casual action, but on him, it looked so elegant and noble.
Ji Shuyu stopped thinking in time, turned her face slightly to the side, and stopped herself from getting lost in the thoughts.
…
Gu Xiuyuan was getting ready, and when he lowered his eyes he saw her turning her face away.
Her butterfly-like eyelashes trembled slightly. He couldn't see the emotion in her eyes, but her tightly clenched hands betrayed her nervousness.
Married for two years...
No! Actually, they have known each other for fourteen years.
It seemed like every time she was with him, she felt awkward and nervous, even though they were married now and had a close relationship.
Dear Ton Infernal Affairs...
Ji Shuyu's wet hair hung on her shoulders, and her white pajamas were wet in large areas, revealing the color of her skin. Gu Xiuyuan stood there with a clear view of the scenery in front of him.
His Adam's apple moved slightly, and then he looked away.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Ji Shuyu noticed his slight change and awkwardly covered herself with the towel in her hand.
"You go ahead and do your work. I can do it myself."
"If it's possible, why would you be so embarrassed?" He questioned calmly, then stretched out his long arms, grabbed the bath towel and wrapped it around her.
Gu Xiuyuan barely suppressed his restless discomfort, then rubbed the foam on her head bit by bit.
His slender fingers passed through her hair and gently stroked her scalp. Ji Shuyu quietly clutched the hem of her clothes, her heart beating wildly.
Their marriage had gone from being in name only to breaking up the relationship, to being frozen into ice due to misunderstandings, and then gradually easing up. But no matter which stage it was, he had done such things before, not to mention that they had so many situations in the past two days.
"Do you have anything to say?"
Give her a little tenderness, a little sweetness, and make her agree to give Su Yan a blood transfusion?
Her hands clenched nervously, she stared at his expression, wondering if she could handle him nodding and saying "yes."
Seeing through her thoughts, Gu Xiuyuan frowned.
"What are you thinking?"
She was injured, and he was doing her a favor as a husband, so why would she doubt him?
No one except grandma has ever been treated this way! This girl...
Seeing his displeasure, Ji Shuyu pursed her lips.
She just thought, someone as noble as Gu Xiuyuan has always been served by others, when did he become so gentle and considerate?
With their current relationship..., she couldn't think of anything else except for Su Yan.
"I misunderstood about the hospital."
Ji Shuyu suddenly looked up.
Is this sentence an apology?
But his eyes were calm, as if the word "apology" was just said casually.
Yes, how could he really feel sorry!
It was just a misunderstanding, no big deal...
"It doesn't matter."
Anyway, this is not the first time, and his misunderstanding of her is more than just this.
After washing her hair, Gu Xiuyuan helped her wrap it with a towel.
"Can I do it alone?"
“…”
"Auntie said you need to take a shower." He remained calm. "Can you do it alone?"
Ji Shuyu suddenly caught a clue.
She asked why she hadn't come up for so long, so was she stopped by him?
Unable to tell what he was thinking, Ji Shuyu didn't want to guess anymore, so she just nodded and said, "I'll go to the guest bedroom to wash up, you can take care of it too!"
She grabbed the towel and stood up and walked away, leaving only the faint fragrance in the air.
It wasn't the smell of her usual shampoo, but the kind of body fragrance he liked...
Gu Xiuyuan's breathing slowed slightly, he loosened his tie, and closed the bathroom door...
…
Coming out of the bathroom, Gu Xiuyuan reached out as usual, but found that there were no clothes on the chair next to the door as usual.
His eyes darkened slightly, and then he walked into the cloakroom.
Ji Shuyu studied fashion design, and she usually took care of and matched his clothes. He was too lazy to choose his own clothes, so he just picked up a set of home clothes to change into.
After the bath, he felt cool and his mind cleared up for a few minutes.
He walked to the balcony, lit a cigarette, and thought for a long time before calling his mother.
"I agree with what you said..."
