His voice was deep, gentle, and magnetic, and full of patience.
"..."
Ji Zhinan remained silent.
Since she came out of the lounge at the venue, she hasn't opened her mouth once. Even when the alcohol touched her wound while it was being treated, she only frowned and remained silent.
She didn't answer him, but Gu Yibei wasn't angry. He pressed the hotline to have the maid fetch a basin of hot water to help Ji Zhinan wipe her body.
The maid brought in hot water, first wiping the blood off her legs, and then changed the water to a basin of clean water to wash Ji Zhinan's face.
"I'll do it."
Gu Yibei suddenly spoke, and the maid quickly put down her things: "Yes, young master."
The maid left, and Gu Yibei took off his suit jacket and threw it aside. He wanted to roll up the sleeves of his shirt, but then he remembered that this was the first shirt Ji Zhinan had bought for him, and he couldn't bear to part with it.
In the end, I just randomly picked a shirt from the dressing room and changed into it, and then had the shirt that Ji Zhinan had given me taken down to be dry cleaned.
I rolled up her sleeves to her elbows, soaked a clean towel in hot water until it was fully absorbed, wrung it out, and then wiped her face.
He wiped his eyebrows, eyes, nose... with utmost care.
After wiping her face, I also wiped her hands. She was finally presentable after being dirty and disheveled.
Gu Yibei threw the towel into the basin, picked up the basin and went into the bathroom, putting the things down before coming out.
"I don't have any women's clothing here, so I've already sent the maid out to buy some. When she comes back, she can wipe your body down and then you can change into your pajamas and get a good night's sleep."
Regardless of whether Ji Zhinan responded or not, Gu Yibei continued speaking to himself.
Ji Zhinan's eyes flickered, and upon hearing the man's words, his empty eyes regained some luster.
She stared at his face for a full minute, then her lips moved slightly.
Why are you so good to me?
Her voice was slightly hoarse, but thankfully not too serious.
Ji Zhinan was completely baffled by this problem.
She was an unlucky person; no one loved her in her past life or this one. Even her grandfather, the only person who was kind to her in her previous life, kept many important things from her.
She was fortunate to have met Xing Fei, her best friend, in this lifetime. The Xing family of three treated her very well.
Besides them, only this man in front of her was willing to give her patience and gentleness.
Ji Zhinan had never experienced such tender love before, from wiping her face and hands with his own hands to twisting bottle caps for her. Such an outstanding man as him was willing to do these insignificant little things for her.
It was precisely because he handled even the smallest things so meticulously that Ji Zhinan's long-closed, cold heart was melted, revealing its true nature... Xing Fei had never been this kind to her.
Seeing that she finally spoke, the man's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.
Hearing her question, Gu Yibei smiled.
"There aren't so many whys in this world. I like you, so I want to be good to you, that's all."
There aren't so many whys in this world. I like you, so I want to be good to you, that's all...
He said...he likes her?
Ji Zhinan merely blinked, showing no surprise, remaining calm and composed.
Gu Yibei was already used to her calm demeanor, so he wasn't disappointed.
She suddenly reached up and pressed her hand to her forehead, her brows furrowed, looking as if she were in pain.
Gu Yibei panicked and immediately stepped forward: "What's wrong?"
Is there anything else that's bothering you?
