Chapter 60 (Don't read Chapter 60)
After struggling to get out of bed, Ruan Xingzhu's gaze inadvertently fell on the glaring crimson stain on the bed. In an instant, her thoughts surged like a tidal wave, gradually returning to the unbearable memories of last night.
Her helpless pleas were met with his relentless demands time and again.
At this thought, a blush instantly spread across her pale face, and she was overwhelmed by endless shame. Like a thief caught red-handed, she frantically reached for the blanket and hurriedly covered the crimson stain, as if this would bury everything from the previous night deep inside and prevent her from ever looking at it again.
Mu Tao, who had been waiting outside the door, heard the noise from inside and knew that the young lady had woken up. She quickly brought in a basin of water and said, "Young lady, you're awake. Please wash up."
Ruan Xingzhu looked at Mu Tao, feeling a sudden panic. Her eyes darted away unconsciously, afraid that Mu Tao would notice something amiss in her expression.
She spoke quickly, her voice tinged with urgency: "I can wash myself, you can go out first."
Seeing the girl's reaction, Mu Tao didn't ask any further questions. She simply nodded, turned around, and hurriedly left, closing the door behind her.
Ruan Xingzhu slowly moved to the wooden basin, her gaze falling on her own reflection in the water. Only then did she truly realize how disheveled she looked.
The lingering tear stains, slightly swollen lips, and disheveled hair all testified to how wild the night had been.
Seeing herself in this state, Ruan Xingzhu felt so embarrassed that she wanted to disappear. She wondered if Mu Tao had seen her disheveled appearance.
She felt a little annoyed, lowered her head, stretched out her hands, scooped up water, and washed her face again and again, as if this could wash away the traces of last night.
After washing several times, Ruan Xingzhu thought of calling Mu Tao in to carry the water out and throw it away. However, as soon as she opened the door, what appeared before her was not the familiar figure of Mu Tao, but Gu Yun'an, the one who had humiliated her all night.
The moment Ruan Xingzhu saw Gu Yun'an, her first instinct was to close the door, trying to shut out this nightmarish person. But Gu Yun'an reacted quickly, stepping through the door before her.
As Gu Yun'an strode in, Ruan Xingzhu felt a surge of embarrassment. She lowered her head so low she wanted to bury it in the ground, and her ears turned as red as if they were about to bleed.
Looking at her timid and fearful appearance, Gu Yun'an couldn't help but feel a pang of pity. But then, he felt somewhat displeased by her avoidance of him.
He couldn't help but speak, his voice accusing, "How come you can't even greet people anymore?"
In the past, she would happily call out "Fourth Brother" whenever she saw him, but now she wouldn't even look at him directly.
Upon hearing this, Ruan Xingzhu trembled violently, lowered her head even further, hesitated for a moment, and then softly called out, "Fourth Brother..."
Perhaps because she had cried too much last night, her voice was very hoarse and sounded dry and weak.
Hearing her voice, Gu Yun'an couldn't help but recall her hoarse pleas from the previous night.
But even though she called out to him softly, she still stubbornly refused to raise her head.
He couldn't help but joke again: "Are you planning to never look at me again for the rest of your life?"
Ruan Xingzhu lowered her head, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She really didn't know how to face the person in front of her. She had always regarded him as her beloved older brother, but now, such a shameful thing had happened between them. She was filled with shame and panic, and she really didn't know how to look him in the eye.
As if sensing Gu Yun'an's growing impatience, Ruan Xingzhu hesitated for a long time before finally slowly raising her head to look at him. However, her eyes kept darting away, as if they were an abyss that could devour her.
Gu Yun'an watched as she finally raised her head, but her body remained stiff and motionless. Feeling somewhat helpless, he patiently called out to her again.
"Come here." His voice carried a hint of impatience, yet also an undeniable air of command.
Ruan Xingzhu looked at him timidly, her body instinctively hesitant to move, her heart filled with fear. She was afraid, afraid that, like last night, she would be pressed against that hard, cold door again, enduring all that shameful thing.
Her fingertips unconsciously gripped her dress tightly, as if it were her only support at that moment. She took small, hesitant steps toward Gu Yun'an, each step feeling like it was treading on her own heartbeat.
Gu Yun'an watched her with great interest, a hint of amusement in his eyes, as if to see how long she could dawdle.
Ruan Xingzhu, enduring his scorching gaze that seemed to pierce through her, walked towards him with difficulty, step by step. However, just as she approached him and was about to sit down beside him, Gu Yun'an seemed to suddenly lose his patience.
He stretched out his arm and pulled her onto his lap like an iron clamp.
"Fourth brother..." Ruan Xingzhu's face paled instantly, and she exclaimed in surprise, her face full of fear and embarrassment.
As he got closer, Gu Yun'an could clearly see that her lips were still slightly swollen. He had clearly applied medicine to them that morning, but they were still swollen. It seemed that he had indeed been too rough with them last night.
A hint of guilt flashed in his eyes as he reached out a fingertip and gently touched her lips.
Upon seeing this, Ruan Xingzhu instinctively backed away as if she had been burned. But soon, Gu Yun'an stopped her, speaking in a low voice.
"Why are you hiding?"
After saying that, he gently spread the ointment on her lips, his movements as tender as if he were handling a rare treasure. Ruan Xingzhu felt the warmth on her lips and realized that he was applying medicine to her.
A strange sense of guilt welled up inside her, and her face flushed instantly when her gaze inadvertently fell on the wound on Gu Yun'an's lip.
The wound was from her own bite last night, and her mind involuntarily recalled the scene of Gu Yun'an kissing her passionately last night, and the image of him taking possession of her afterwards.
Lost in her memories, Ruan Xingzhu was slightly absent-minded.
The next instant, Gu Yun'an's hand unexpectedly lifted her skirt. Ruan Xingzhu was startled by this sudden action and turned pale. She instinctively tried to get up and run away, but Gu Yun'an held her down firmly, making it impossible for her to move.
"Fourth brother, no." Tears welled up in her eyes instantly, and she looked at Gu Yun'an with endless fear and pleading.
Gu Yun'an paused in his movements, and seeing her tearful eyes, he quickly realized that she had misunderstood his intentions.
He couldn't help but speak up in defense, saying, "I'm applying the medicine for you."
Applying medicine? Ruan Xingzhu was slightly taken aback when she heard these two words.
Upon hearing that it was about applying medicine instead of what she had imagined, her tense nerves gradually relaxed, and the tears in her eyes slowly turned into a thin mist. She slowly withdrew her hand from Gu Yun'an, her expression still somewhat nervous.
Seeing her relax, Gu Yun'an couldn't help but shake his head inwardly. So she just thought he was going to do *that* to her again?
Although last night's first taste was indeed delicious and unforgettable, he wished he could indulge in it again.
But he also knew that he had gone too far last night, completely ignoring her desperate pleas and taking her several times. Her body definitely couldn't take it for a while, so he had planned to let her rest for a bit.
A strange touch came from below, and Ruan Xingzhu suddenly came to her senses, realizing that her skirt had been lifted. Her panicked eyes seemed to recall some unsavory scene, and she hurriedly reached out to stop Gu Yun'an's hand, asking with a hint of unease.
"What medicine should I apply, Fourth Brother?"
"To promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis." Seeing her frightened appearance, Gu Yun'an kindly explained, "Three times a day."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Xingzhu's face instantly flushed red, like a magnificent sunset. She knew in her heart that the medicine was probably to be applied to that private area, and according to Gu Yun'an, it was to be applied three times a day, which meant it had to be applied in the morning as well.
As if sensing the doubt in her eyes, Gu Yun'an reached out and gently pulled her closer, then whispered in her ear, "I applied it for you this morning."
A warm breath brushed against her ear, tickling her. Ruan Xingzhu was startled. The moment her guess was confirmed, her face was filled with panic.
She hurriedly got up from Gu Yun'an, snatched the medicine from his hand, and said in a flustered manner, "I can do the other two myself, no need to trouble Fourth Brother."
Seeing her insistence, Gu Yun'an didn't want to embarrass her any further, after all, he had indeed hurt her last night. So, he didn't argue with her anymore, but simply walked to the bedside, wanting to retrieve the jade pendant he had left behind.
Watching Gu Yun'an walk towards her bed, Ruan Xingzhu was a little puzzled, but she didn't ask him what he was going to do.
However, when she saw Gu Yun'an reach out and pull back the blanket, a thought flashed through her mind, and her face instantly turned deathly pale. As if her butt was on fire, she rushed over, sat down with a thud, and pulled the blanket back to protect it tightly.
Gu Yun'an narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched her flustered actions, gazing at her with a calm expression.
Ruan Xingzhu felt flustered under his gaze, but she was terrified that Gu Yun'an would see the crimson stain on the bed that represented shame. So she could only brace herself and stand in front of him, praying in her heart that he would not notice.
Gu Yun'an looked at her slightly disheveled hair, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes. He reached out and gently tucked her hair behind her shoulder, his movement as gentle as a breeze.
After doing all this, he leisurely looked behind her, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said, "Xinzhu, are you blocking it?"
His tone was both questioning and slightly mocking.
Hearing the sound, Ruan Xingzhu looked over and discovered that the crimson stain had been left outside the blanket, which Gu Yun'an had seen clearly.
A strong sense of embarrassment instantly welled up in Ruan Xingzhu's heart. She was both ashamed and anxious, and quickly reached out to cover his eyes, her tone carrying a hint of coquettishness and fierceness: "Fourth brother, you are not allowed to look."
Blindfolded, Gu Yun'an peeked through his fingers at her shy face, a smile involuntarily creeping onto his lips. Did she really think that just because he wouldn't let her see, she hadn't seen it?
Actually, when he woke up early in the morning, she was still very sleepy. When he got up, he saw that shocking red.
Later, he was the one who cleaned up the mess on the ground before leaving.
