Chapter 739 - 742 Carefully Preserve Proof of Love 5_1

Gu Shaocheng glanced at her, then turned and sprawled on the nearby tatami mat. Assuming a languid pose, he held still, allowing her to use tweezers to painstakingly remove the shards of glass embedded in his calves and arms.

"Shaocheng, does it hurt?"

She wasn’t sure if she was causing him pain because, from start to finish, he hadn’t made a sound.

Gu Shaocheng was exhausted; he hadn’t had a good night’s sleep in days. As her breath seeped into his nostrils, he could not help but feel drowsy. He was too tired to respond, feeling annoyed at his soft-heartedness and her relentless nagging, yet he couldn’t help but find a small measure of comfort in it.

"I’ll try to be as gentle as possible. If I hurt you, you need to tell me, because otherwise, I wouldn’t know."

Chenxing didn’t get an answer. She had no choice but to lower her head and continue treating his wounds.

Her heart was in turmoil.

She could not understand what his thoughts were.

The wounds weren’t too deep and there weren’t many shards of glass. Fortunately, he had been wearing a bulletproof vest, which had kept most of his body intact. His muscular back, with its captivating lines, was utterly charming.

It was only then that Chenxing realized: he seemed to wear a bulletproof vest quite often. Out of 365 days a year, he wore the custom-made bulletproof vest for over half the time. Did he also feel insecure?

"Shaocheng, why are you wearing a bulletproof vest? Is your life really that dangerous?"

Okay, she was merely talking to herself.

It doesn’t matter; she felt content just being able to crouch silently by his side, something she had not dared to dream of in the past few days.

Hence, a dressing which should have taken a few minutes, took her over half an hour.

Nan Baihao, standing at the doorway, couldn’t help but knock on the bathroom door, calling from outside, "Brother, the doctor is here. Can he come in?"

"I’m coming in now." Not receiving a response, Nan Baihao took it upon himself to enter.

Only then did Gu Shaocheng, who was rather unwilling to speak, issue a frosty command, "Stay outside!"

He got up, and Chenxing quickly stood up as well. Gu Shaocheng glanced at her indifferently, leaving her with a curt remark, "Take a bath before you leave this room, you look like a mess."

In the end, as Gu Shaocheng had already left the bathroom, Chenxing stared at her reflection in the mirror. Looking left and right, she muttered to herself, "Where do I look messy?"

Unable to understand, she quickly shed the flashy suit she was wearing, hastily took a shower, and once again put on the suit before stepping out barefoot.

In the bedroom, while Gu Shaocheng was getting dressed, the doctor quietly retreated. Seeing Chenxing, Hua Hua handed her a bag containing another set of clothes, "Here, Chenxing, change your clothes. These are freshly bought, try them on and see if they fit. Also, could you please return my clothes?"

Chenxing reluctantly returned to the bathroom. The outfit Hua Hua bought for her was a simple dress, but his taste was impeccable; the dress suited her style perfectly. When Chenxing re-emerged from the bathroom clothed in her pure, innocent outfit, she returned Hua Hua’s clothes. Baihao and Hua Hua exchanged glances and discreetly slipped away.

Before leaving, Baihao didn’t forget to remind him, "Brother, the birthday cake hasn’t been cut yet. You should do it quickly so the guests aren’t kept waiting."

"Hmm." Gu Shaocheng responded in a languid manner. He relaxed into the couch, his exploring eyes trained on the woman sitting quietly across from him.
