Gu Jingze's heart thumped as he looked at her lips. They had a perfect shape and were moist and soft like the wet and red flesh of fruit. However, they also seemed to carry a hint of seduction.
He turned his head and gently moved closer.
However, just as he inched closer, her pair of big eyes that had been tranquil suddenly opened.
His aloof face froze there and then as he looked at Lin Che's glazed eyes.
At that moment, she felt that the distance before her eyes was a little ambiguous. In turn, she rubbed her eyes in a daze.
The effect of the medication had also robbed her of her rationality.
"You..." As she looked at his sensual and perky lips before her eyes, she felt her heart itch.
"Sleep properly." He let out a dry cough and stretched his hand out to cover her eyes.
Soon after, her breathing evened out again.
On the other hand, Gu Jingze turned his head away and did not glance at the woman beside him again. But when he closed his eyes once again, he could still feel her arm attacking his chest.
He frowned but he seemed to have gradually gotten used to her occasional attacks. He soon went straight to sleep.
On the second day, Gu Jingze was already long gone when Lin Che woke up.
It was only when she was done washing up that Gu Jingze brought breakfast over.
Lin Che's thigh no longer hurt and accordingly, her mood also took a turn for the better. She looked at Gu Jingze and said, "Just like I told you, it's definitely possible to sleep like we did last night. Look at how much sharper you look."
Gu Jingze merely glanced at her silently. He did not talk about how he had found her sprawled across his body when he woke up in the morning and how she had drooled on his neck.
Just the thought of that made him feel an itch on his neck.
Very soon after, the doctor came to change Lin Che's bandages again. Looking at her wound, it seemed to have gotten much better. However, the scar was still hideous and Gu Jingze continued wearing an unpleasant expression.
"Doctor, when will my wife's thigh recover completely?"
The doctor heard Gu Jingze's low voice as he asked this and quickly said, "This will need..."
Before he could respond, Gu Jingze's cell phone started ringing.
Gu Jingze took a look. It was Mo Huiling.
Still waiting to hear the doctor's response, he rejected the call.
Sensing the situation, the doctor continued, "This is..."
But right at that moment, his cell phone started ringing again.
Gu Jingze looked at his cell phone a little impatiently. Mo Huiling's name kept flashing on the screen. At the side, Lin Che lifted her head and said, "Gu Jingze, pick up the call first and we'll discuss it later."
Gu Jingze's face tensed. He glanced at Lin Che before reluctantly turning away and walking out while holding his phone.
He picked up the phone, his impatience showing slightly in his voice. "Huiling, is something the matter?"
Mo Huiling pouted playfully through the phone and said, "Why did you reject my call earlier?"
Gu Jingze was still mulling over the doctor's words and said into the phone, "I was busy just now. Why?"
Mo Huiling said, "You didn't come to celebrate my birthday and after that, you didn't care about me either. Jingze, what exactly is up with you?" Gu Jingze recalled the day of her birthday. Because of the car accident that happened that day, he did not meet her and thereafter, he was busy attending to Lin Che's injury.
"I've just gotten busier recently." Because the accident had not been made publicly known, Gu Jingze did not tell Mo Huiling either.
"Now that I'm ill, won't you come and visit me too?" Mo Huiling whined.
"You're ill?" Gu Jingze asked.
