Chapter 6: Words I've Been Brewing For a Long Time
She subconsciously turned around, but met Gu Yixiao's ink-black eyes.
"I'll be there soon. I'll return the things to you soon." She said in a panic, "Cousin... you, you wait two more minutes..."
When Xu Ruchu saw him suddenly coming towards her, she became nervous and flustered.
Gu Yixiao stood quietly, his eyes fixed on the slender white arms.
In the past few years, this girl who always called him "Brother Yixiao" with a smile, and who would scream "It hurts" and ask people to help check every time she got hurt, has learned to heal herself silently and no longer screams. It's really rare.
Changed sex?
"I'm not here to get anything."
As he spoke, he stepped forward, snatched the thing from her hand, and applied iodine to her again.
"If it hurts, just scream. Fortunately, the wound isn't deep, so it's no big deal."
“…”
Xu Ruochu was stunned for a moment, and didn't say anything. She just bit her lips lightly, enduring the pain caused by the iodine tincture touching the surface of her skin due to her special physique.
She really didn't expect that he would help her treat her wounds, and she didn't expect that he would say such caring words to her.
For a moment she was dumbfounded.
The girl, who felt the pain much more than others, felt that everything around her was almost still.
The dim light above their heads shone on the hands of the two people pressed together.
His slightly cool big hand covered her wrist and gently wiped her wound. His movements were extremely professional, not only gentle but also serious.
Xu Ruochu felt as if he was under a spell and couldn't move.
She stared blankly at the handsome features so close to her, feeling indescribable uneasiness.
As far as I can remember, Gu Yixiao has never done this for anyone before.
In her previous life, she secretly observed him for ten years. He had a cold attitude towards everyone, as if nothing and everyone around him had ever aroused his interest.
And in the following three years, he never even looked at her straight in the eye.
She had never thought that this unattainable man would help her do these things...
"alright."
After Gu Yixiao bandaged the wound with gauze, he spoke lightly.
Xu Ruchu, who was just immersed in his own fantasy, immediately withdrew his hand upon hearing this.
"Thanks."
She thanked him nervously and quickly walked around him, wanting to get away from him as quickly as possible.
But Gu Yixiao didn't give her a chance to escape. Instead, he grabbed her wrist and asked coldly, "Why are you panicking? Have I ever offended you or hurt you?"
Xu Ruchu's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She didn't expect him to ask such a question, and for a moment she didn't know how to answer.
Her silence made Gu Yixiao frown, and he continued: No matter what the reason is, you are still my sister, and I have the responsibility to find out everything about you.
"Nothing..." She shook her head, forcing herself to calm down. "Cousin, you're worrying too much. I just... don't want to trouble you."
Xu Ruochu broke free from him again and fled in a hurry.
She first went to the big room where her friend had held a party last night, and then looked for her notebook in every corner she had been to, but she could not find any trace of it.
She had a vague sense of foreboding...
Could it be left in his room?
Xu Ruochu gritted her teeth, turned around and prepared to walk towards Gu Yixiao's room.
But when she just took a step forward, someone called out to her, "What are you looking for?"
She was startled and looked up, only to see Gu Yixiao's face.
At some point, he had come to her side, leaning against the door frame with his arms folded across his chest.
Looking at the girl in front of him, he remained expressionless, and his indifferent tone made it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
Xu Ruochu paused, then shook his head and said, "I, I didn't find anything. I'm sorry to disturb my cousin's rest..."
After saying that, she was about to leave.
"The notebook is with me." Gu Yixiao said lightly.
“…”
Xu Ruochu stopped, turned around and looked at him in surprise.
He really did pick up her notebook...
I wonder if he saw the contents?
Probably not.
She used three locks to protect the notebook: fingerprint, password and a small key that ordinary people could not open.
"you......"
She wanted to ask something, but Gu Yixiao said before she could speak, "If you need it urgently, go and get it now."
Xu Ruochu gritted his teeth and did not refute.
"The stuff is in the car."
He added before leaving.
Xu Ruochu didn't say anything else and hurriedly followed him towards the elevator.
Once again alone with the man in a closed space, she lowered her head nervously, not daring to look.
She always felt that Gu Yixiao was a little strange today.
She even felt that he seemed to have changed.
But she couldn't tell what had changed exactly, but he was no longer as cold-blooded and ruthless as he was when he kidnapped and killed her.
This time, she took the initiative to speak, "Don't worry, cousin, after tonight, we won't meet again, and I won't stay in the Gu family to cause you trouble..."
"I've been an adult for so long, it's time for me to learn to be independent." After all, that wasn't his real home.
Xu Ruochu spoke with great difficulty, even his breathing became cautious.
These were words she had been brewing for a long time.
She knew that she was being a little abrupt, but she couldn't control her heart. She just hoped that she didn't want to have any contact with them.
She didn't dare to see him again. Otherwise, she would be reminded of how miserable her death was in her previous life...
"Um."
Gu Yixiao only responded with one word and did not react at all.
Xu Ruochu felt a little frustrated, but also felt fortunate that at least he didn't question himself.
While waiting in the elevator to reach the first floor, her heart was in turmoil. She kept pursing her lips and lowering her eyes, not daring to look at him again.
It was not until she left the house that she breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had finally relaxed a lot.
Her pace involuntarily quickened, wanting to quickly get the things and get away from him.
However, Gu Yixiao kept staring at her back as she walked to the parking lot, as if thinking about something.
The girl's fragrance lingered in the air, making him squint his eyes.
Never meet again?
independent?
Xu Ruchu, it’s only been a dozen hours since we last met, but you’ve changed so much!
He was silent for a while and said nothing more.
Xu Ruochu took back the notebook, turned around hurriedly, and walked quickly to the side of the road.
After she stood still, she came to her senses and realized that she had forgotten to say "thank you".
Looking back at the parking lot, Gu Yixiao's luxury car was still parked there and had not been started.
She didn't know if it was her illusion or what, but since arriving at the parking lot, the man's expression seemed colder than before.
She pursed her lips, finally looking away, then took out her cell phone and called her friends.
"What a coincidence! We just confirmed a house for you and were about to contact you when you called." Xu Ruochu had just dialed the number when an excited voice came from the phone.
The person on the other end of the phone was none other than one of her good friends: the quick-tempered Ran Ran.
The two knew her rental requirements, and Xu Ruochu trusted them, so without asking anything, she said impatiently, "Thank you. I found something and will be there soon."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at the man again, then turned around, got into a taxi and left.
