Stimulated by her, Gu Yuheng's suppressed heat suddenly flared up again, and the flames were even stronger than before.
Without even looking in a mirror, Gu Yuheng could imagine just how pathetic he looked.
Therefore, when Lin Chuxia asked him to let go of his hand covering his mouth and nose, he refused to do so.
"How am I supposed to know where you're hurt if you don't let go?" Lin Chuxia looked at him, puzzled.
Gu Yuheng looked away, his voice low and hoarse: "It's nothing. I'm just... a little hot. Summer... makes me a bit irritable."
Lin Chuxia understood: "So you had a nosebleed? Cough, Gu Jiu was so flustered just now, I thought you were really injured. Could it be because of that barbecue you ate a while ago? You're prone to getting a sore throat, you should have controlled it back then. How could you not get a sore throat after eating so much?"
Gu Yuheng lowered his eyes and, unusually, did not refute, "Hmm." He had been thinking about how to explain, but thankfully she had already found a good excuse for him.
“When I used to get nosebleeds, my grandma would pat my forehead with cold water, but it was always just a little bit. But yours…” It’s quite a lot, and your white shirt is covered with red spots.
Gu Yuheng knew how to stop the bleeding; all he needed to do was get her out of his sight so he could calm down. However, with his beloved right beside him, he simply couldn't bear to let her leave.
Lin Chuxia thought for a moment and said, "How about I try Grandma's method first? If it doesn't work, we can think of another way."
There is a water source right next to the pavilion, so there is no need to go out of your way to find water.
Lin Chuxia took a piece of gauze from the medicine box, moistened it with water, and then placed it on Gu Yuheng's forehead, indicating that he should press it himself. Then she squatted down and took out another piece of gauze, moistened it with water—this time it was not for applying to his forehead, but for wiping away the bloodstains.
Gu Yuheng covered his mouth and nose while looking at the person who was carefully wiping away the bloodstains for him with a slightly stunned expression. His heart softened completely.
Her warm, soft little hands gently squeezed his arm, wiping the blood from between his fingers.
This was the first time his beloved had taken the initiative to make physical contact with him. Realizing this, Gu Yuheng's heart couldn't help but flutter again, and a hot sensation kept gushing from his nose, a bittersweet feeling.
"Why is the bleeding still so bad? Should I find a doctor for you?" Lin Chuxia said with some concern.
"It's alright. No need to call a doctor." Gu Yuheng was also worried that he would bleed to death, so he turned his eyes away and said stiffly, "You go out and let Gu Jiu come in."
After Gu Jiu went inside, Gu Yuheng's bleeding stopped quickly. The bloodstains on Gu Yuheng's face and hands were also wiped clean, and he returned to his usual refined and elegant appearance. Of course, it would be better if one could ignore the bloodstains on his clothes.
Seeing that his bleeding had stopped, Lin Chuxia breathed a sigh of relief: "You have to be more careful about your diet in the future. Don't touch barbecued or fried foods, otherwise if something like this happens again and other guests see it, they might think our food is poisoned!"
Gu Yuheng's face instantly darkened, and his voice was as cold as ice: "You were worried about me just now because you were afraid that something would happen to me here and affect the reputation of your manor?"
Lin Chuxia nodded crisply and said, "That's right."
