After saying that, he left with his large hand holding her ankle.
He reached out and twisted open the ointment, then took out a cotton swab with his other hand, dipped it in the ointment, and applied it to her wound.
Xu Zhaozhao had just been sitting in front of the full-length mirror, looking at herself, and now she was observing Gu Qingyan through the same mirror.
A man who is serious is the most handsome.
Xu Zhaozhao had never been able to fully grasp the meaning of this sentence before, but today she suddenly understood it.
He was kneeling on one knee, and because he was looking down, some stray hairs fell down to the side, sometimes brushing against his long eyelashes.
His eyes were serious and focused, and his hands were so beautiful they seemed unreal. He applied medicine to her wound with restraint and care.
It was like handling a rare treasure, taking great care of it.
Xu Zhaozhao admitted that she was moved by Gu Qingyan at this moment.
Somewhat self-deceivingly, they closed their eyes.
I thought that not looking would stop this flutter in my heart, but after my vision was plunged into darkness, I could clearly hear my own heartbeat quickening.
After he finished applying the product to her calves and thighs, he stood up and started applying it to her arms, and then to her neck and collarbone...
He leaned very close, and Xu Zhaozhao could feel his warm breath.
After applying the ointment to his collarbone, Gu Qingyan put it off, making sure no one else was exposed.
The more important reason is... he didn't dare.
Xu Zhaozhao couldn't bear it, and he couldn't control himself either.
The medicine doesn't hurt when applied to the wound; it has a slightly cool feeling.
However, some of the scabs that hadn't completely healed still caused a slight pain, which was bearable, but Xu Zhaozhao still frowned slightly.
Gu Qingyan went to wash his hands, and as soon as he came out, he noticed Xu Zhaozhao's little expression.
"Does it hurt?" he asked.
Xu Zhaozhao merely glanced at him without answering, assuming he was asking a pointless question.
She stood there like a statue, too afraid to move.
There was a mat underneath to let the ointment on the wound dry, otherwise it would get everywhere if you weren't careful.
Xu Zhaozhao didn't want to end up sleeping in the guest room again today, as she was a little bit picky about beds.
The next second, a faint sound of the packaging being torn open could be heard.
Although the sound wasn't loud, it was still quite noticeable in the quiet room, attracting the attention of Xu Zhaozhao, who was feeling a bit bored.
I turned my head to look.
The sound came from Gu Qingyan's hand; the pink-wrapped strawberry candy looked like a pink diamond in his hand.
It looks beautiful, but those hands have left many marks from pinching!
This is probably what it means to have both love and hate.
He tore open the packaging and held the candy to Xu Zhaozhao's lips, saying, "Eat something sweet, and you won't feel the pain anymore."
The aroma of strawberries wafting into her nose was irresistible, but Xu Zhaozhao wasn't about to let herself get away with it. She curled her tongue and put the strawberry candy in her mouth.
A little bit of glistening substance clung to the fingertip he extended, but Xu Zhaozhao ignored it and simply nodded: "Sure enough, you don't feel the pain when you eat something sweet."
Clearly, this was her malicious revenge, forcing Gu Qingyan, who had just washed his hands, to wash them again.
Gu Qingyan clenched the remaining wrapping paper in his hand, making a sizzling sound.
Looking at the glistening droplet on her fingertip, her eyes held an inexplicable emotion.
With a slight smile, she said, "Baby, I won't let you get hurt next time."
It wasn't a somber tone of guilt, but rather an uplifting one.
He was also wicked.
However, he still went into the bathroom and washed his hands again.
Xu Zhaozhao also smiled victoriously, and the strawberry candy in her mouth tasted even sweeter.
Next time, it's hard to say who will get hurt.
...
After the ointment dried, Gu Qingyan felt relieved and took his office computer to the study.
Xu Zhaozhao understood; this guy had only dealt with some urgent matters that required his personal attention before rushing home again.
Fortunately, he had an urgent matter that sent him to the study, otherwise Xu Zhaozhao didn't know if she would have been able to properly read the script today.
The medicine hadn't taken effect yet, but Gu Qingyan said she could go to work tomorrow, and she believed him.
So she had to review the script beforehand, and working with the world's top actors and actresses was quite stressful for her.
A good performance is an opportunity; a bad performance is a resource.
Xu Zhaozhao twitched the corners of her mouth, shaking off all the messy thoughts in her mind, and focused on reading the script.
It was only after Gu Qingyan reminded her that Xu Zhaozhao went to take a shower.
She could see in the bathroom mirror that the medicine had taken effect without her even realizing it.
The marks on her body have faded considerably; even if they can't be completely removed, a thin layer of concealer can cover them up completely.
Now I can finally put my worries to rest.
She dared not delve into how Gu Qingyan knew about this medicine, or how many times he had used it...
He secretly made up his mind that neither of them would need to use these medications anymore.
After taking a shower, Gu Qingyan dried her hair again. She leaned back lazily, holding a script in her hand, yawning constantly.
I've already memorized what I'll be filming tomorrow, but reviewing it in my mind always makes me sleepy.
Half-asleep, Xu Zhaozhao heard Gu Qingyan's phone ring.
Her drowsiness was chased away, and she turned her head to look at his phone, which he had casually tossed on the blanket next to her.
Gou's agent.
Xu Zhaozhao couldn't help but suspect that the caller ID message had another meaning.
It's already 11 p.m.
Gu Qingyan was still drying her hair and didn't seem to care.
Xu Zhaozhao didn't know what got into her, but she stretched out her arm, grabbed the phone, and clicked to answer.
"Brother Gou, it's already eleven o'clock. Even the gods should be sleeping by now, right?"
"Uh... ah? Oh?"
Gou Ge swallowed back what he was about to say, only managing to utter a few interjections, showing how genuinely shocked he was.
"I... I just told the boss I'd handle it, he... he's on break..."
When facing Xu Zhaozhao, Gou Ge couldn't speak very fluently.
Xu Zhaozhao's face flushed, and she hurriedly said, "Thank you for your hard work," before hanging up the phone.
Concern leads to confusion.
She had just assumed that Gu Qingyan would be staying up all night to handle some matters, and then getting up early tomorrow...
Given Gu Qingyan's temperament, he would simply not sleep at all.
After drying the ends of her hair, Gu Qingyan turned off the hairdryer, asked Xu Zhaozhao to sit up, and took a comb to help her smooth her hair.
He whispered in her ear, "Are you concerned about me?"
"Gu Qingyan,"
Xu Zhaozhao brushed away his hand that was combing her hair, turned around, and looked at Gu Qingyan face to face, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"Could you please stop staying up all night?"
Physical and mental health must both be present, right?
"Concerned about me?" Gu Qingyan didn't answer her, but stubbornly repeated the question he had just asked.
Yes! I care about you.
She frowned, somewhat annoyed, "Gu Qingyan, you have absolutely no sense of responsibility as my boyfriend!"
It seems that Xu Zhaozhao can only speak her true feelings when she is sulking.
As if Xu Zhaozhao's words pleased Gu Qingyan, he smiled faintly, turned Xu Zhaozhao back, and continued to comb her hair.
"What kind of self-awareness is needed?"
Her long hair reached her waist, and whether she blow-dried it or combed it, it was rather boring and tedious.
But he just kept doing it.
"One is enough..."
Xu Zhaozhao hummed comfortably, "Listen to your girlfriend!"
Gu Qingyan paused for a moment while combing her hair, but quickly resumed his actions.
"good."
He answered.
My little boyfriend will engrave it into his DNA.
