Chapter 464 He is made of paper
In a state of confusion.
Gu Zhou's arm crossed under her legs and suddenly lifted her up.
A sudden loss of balance in the body.
She was startled and snapped back to her senses from her daze.
But it only took two seconds.
He was dragged back into the sinking abyss by Gu Zhou who was conquering the city.
She could clearly feel the rise and fall of his chest, the strength of his arms, and the surging complex emotions contained in the kiss... It was not just lust, but more like an anxious pursuit of confirmation, a confirmation like a drowning man grabbing at driftwood, an uneasiness buried deep in her heart that finally found an outlet for venting.
This moment.
She's like a resonance.
It was like finally finding a piece of driftwood on the wave-filled sea surface.
Lose your mind and give it your all.
Just to reach the driftwood to survive.
It seemed as if if I let go, I would fall to the bottom of the sea and never recover.
She was carried back to the cabin.
Gu Zhou didn't even have time to use his hands. He simply hooked his foot backwards and slammed the door shut, locking out the world outside.
However, the moment he put her back on the ground, the force of her body falling to the ground caused her wound to feel a sharp pain.
Her expression was distorted and she let out a "hiss" sound of pain.
Gu Zhou's almost predatory kiss suddenly stopped.
He leaned his upper body back a little distance.
Those eyes, stained by intense passion and desire until they were bottomless, were instantly replaced by solemnity. A barely perceptible tension lingered in his hoarse voice as he asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Did you pull the wound?"
"It's okay, it was just a little pulled..." She said softly, still trying to calm the pain.
Gu Zhou pursed his lips tightly and said, "I'm sorry." His voice was filled with self-blame and fear.
He put aside all his messy thoughts.
He supported the ground beside her cheek with his palm and raised his upper body.
"Let's go back to the hospital for a check-up." He said calmly and was about to step away.
Wang Yuanling grabbed him without thinking.
He was interrupted from getting up.
He covered his body again, and the scent mixed with agarwood and clear air enveloped him again.
The gaze seemed to be filled with heat as it looked down from above.
This shame of being inferior to others.
It made her instinctively want to look away.
But when I think of his complicated and uneasy look just now.
That wall of the heart called principles.
It was shaking again, as if the whole thing would collapse if kicked.
"I'm fine." She took a breath, a little garbled, but she was sure he understood: "I won't forget."
This is true.
Even if she wanted to forget, it would be difficult to erase today, to erase the traces of his mark...
A sincere look is like a key to open a wall of heart.
It works every time, so people always say that sincerity defeats everything.
Gu Zhou discerned that she was sincere, his eyes darkened, and he leaned over to her.
Seeing him leaning towards her, her eyelashes drooped instinctively.
But I didn't feel the kiss I expected.
The slightly narrowed eyes opened again.
Gu Zhou rubbed hers with the tip of his nose.
Different from the surging passion/desire just now.
This way of rubbing noses against each other is like the action of small animals expressing intimacy, and it is stress-free.
"Okay, I believe you." He said, and a curve appeared on his lips again.
Wang Yuanling's inner uneasiness disappeared in this gentle smile.
Gu Zhou carefully helped her sit up.
His face was filled with regret for his reckless behavior.
Seeing this, she laughed for no reason.
Gu Zhou's dark eyes instantly shot over, not understanding what she was laughing at, yet he followed her lead without any principle, curling his lips: "What are you laughing at?"
Her slender white fingertips were still resting on his slightly bent elbow.
This subtle physical contact silently sublimated the ambiguity flowing in the air after the storm just experienced.
"Laughing at you." She whispered, "Your face is full of regret, but it's not that serious. Look, I'm fine now, don't blame yourself."
Gu Zhou raised his eyebrows, but his eyes were extremely serious: "I won't do it next time."
Wang Yuanling's eyes were startled, but he laughed and teased him: "Am I made of paper?"
Is it necessary to be so scared?
Gu Zhou stared at her for a few seconds, his eyes deep and meaningful: "You are not, but my heart is."
He was saying he was worried she might get hurt.
He was also worried that she would leave him.
Wang Yuanling just felt that he had something else to say.
Unable to grasp the fleeting thoughts, I simply blamed myself for thinking too much.
So he coaxed her gently, "Alright, alright, my dear boyfriend, next time, for the sake of your paper-made heart, even if it hurts, I won't make a sound to scare you, okay?"
He retorted domineeringly: "No, if it hurts, you have to tell me."
She laughed: "What if you get scared again?"
"You are more important." He answered decisively without any hesitation.
She paused, her heart warming slightly, and she couldn't help but teasing: "You talk differently now than before. Such sweet talk comes out of your mouth easily. Tell me the truth, where did you learn it? Did you learn it secretly under the covers at night?"
Gu Zhou's smile was tinged with laziness and his eyes were blazing: "Then why don't you come into my bed at night and do a surprise check to see if I'm trying to steal your skills?"
She couldn't win the argument.
Choose to give up.
She placed her slender fingers on his elbow and pinched it gently, and whispered softly, "I want to eat cake." It was a bit like acting coquettishly.
"Okay." Gu Zhou smiled indulgently.
He put his arm around her waist and carefully lifted her up from the ground.
The candles were all lit around the cake.
The candlelight danced gently in the wind, illuminating the figures of the two people who were very close to each other.
"Make a wish." Gu Zhou said.
Wang Yuanling, who wanted to blow it out directly, paused.
But she met his deep gaze.
I just followed his wishes, clasped my hands together and closed my eyes.
Make a wish?
I haven’t celebrated my birthday in a long time, so I’m not very familiar with this process.
But soon, I remembered it again.
Gu Zhou stared at her face with closed eyes as she made a wish, with complicated emotions in his eyes.
She made a wish quickly.
When I opened my eyes again, I lowered my head and blew out the candles.
Gu Zhou put away the thoughts in his eyes.
He cut a large piece with his little snowman on it and handed it to her.
"Thank you..." She swallowed the word "thank you" before she could even pronounce it fully.
He said he didn't like hearing her say thank you.
Then let’s not talk about it.
She picked up a small piece with her fork and held it to his mouth.
Gu Zhou raised his eyebrows and moved his gaze from the small cake to her smiling face.
His Adam's apple rolled, he opened his mouth and took a bite of the cake.
Very sweet.
It’s quite delicious.
His tolerance for sugar levels has now increased again.
I saw her enjoying the cake with the fork I had used.
The sweetness in my throat spread to my heart.
But this sweetness gradually became tinged with an unknown bitterness.
"Delicious?" Seeing that she was eating with gusto, he suppressed the bitterness in his heart.
"It's delicious." She smiled and replied, "You should eat it too."
He picked up another small piece and put it into his mouth.
It seems that it is indeed delicious.
Her satisfied look made Gu Zhou chuckle, and he picked up the cake and ate it too.
Gu Zhou actually booked a room.
But she was worried about the wound she had just touched.
I resolutely gave up staying overnight.
Carrying people back.
Wang Yuanling wanted to persuade him, but she saw that his brows were serious, as if he wanted to call a doctor to examine her immediately.
I can only give up persuasion.
When arriving at the hospital.
The night was quiet, and most of the lights in the hospital building were off.
There was not a single person in sight.
Gu Zhou walked around the front of the car, opened the door for her and extended his hand.
Wang Yuanling lowered her eyes slightly, naturally placed her palm on his, and used his strength to get out of the passenger seat.
With their palms pressed together, they smiled at each other.
Holding hands, they walked into the elevator hall in an intimate manner.
Gu Dalong, who was waiting in the car at the edge, saw the whole process.
He paused chewing betel nut and snorted with a malicious smile: "I thought so. When it comes to this little adopted daughter, this guy's mouth is full of protection. Sure enough, they are together."
