"Furthermore, I'm really alright now. It just looks scary." He smiled. "None of my muscles, bones, or internal organs got injured. At the time of the explosion, I wasn't that close to the bomb either. I was just kidding earlier. Seriously," Gu Jingze said gently as he looked into her clear eyes.
Lin Che was not genuinely stupid. How could she not be able to tell that he was consoling her?
She said, "Alright, then stop moving. Let's recuperate properly. Don't move around anymore just in case your wound starts bleeding again. You shouldn't touch me again too. Stay still, alright?"
Lin Che's face tickled from his kisses and her cheeks were flushed slightly red too.
She stretched out her hands to pull the blankets over him.
His clothes had been removed long ago because of his injury. There were even patches of small scratches on his sturdy, honey-colored body. Half of his shoulder on one side was tightly wrapped in white bandages as well and he indeed looked particularly feral. As she looked at him, Lin Che felt that he was like a precious jade that maintained its original character; he always looked good and did not display a sorry figure at all.
Nevertheless, Lin Che's heart still ached for him.
Just then, Gu Jingze patted the space beside him on the bed. "Come here and lie down."
Lin Che shook her head vigorously. "No. There are pieces of apparatus all over your bed. It's better for you to lie down and stay still. Stop moving around."
"Just come when I ask you to." Gu Jingze raised his eyebrows high.
Lin Che said stubbornly, "I really shouldn't. What if I touch your wound?"
Gu Jingze stared steadfastly at Lin Che's small face through narrowed eyes.
He looked at her for a long time before suddenly saying, "Come here. Otherwise, I'll carry you here. Which do you prefer?"

Lin Che was still in a daze when Gu Jingze actually reached out his hand directly to grab Lin Che's arm.
Shocked, Lin Che hastily said, "Alright, alright. I'll get on the bed. Stop moving."
Lin Che pushed away the hand that he had stretched out and rested it horizontally for him. She glanced at Gu Jingze helplessly and could only climb onto the bed first. At this, Gu Jingze then calmly put his body at ease and sat back onto the bed.
Internally, Lin Che was secretly scolding this Gu Jingze. He was really ridiculously overbearing. Why did he insist on making her climb onto the bed?
Gu Jingze looked down at Lin Che who was coming closer to him. He smiled faintly and stretched out a hand to tug at her arm so that she was leaning into his embrace.
Lin Che continued to shift her little head uneasily. She looked up and said, "No. What if I touch you..."
"That's enough. Shut your mouth and stop talking. I need to rest. You do too. Close your eyes and sleep."
"..." Who on earth was as domineering as him? "But,
I..."
"I told you to sleep!" Gu Jingze looked at her with rapt attention.
How could Lin Che fall asleep now? Right now, the news reports outside were in a hideous mess. What exactly had happened? Who was the perpetrator?
Would Gu Jingze get injured again in the future? Lin Che was still in the dark about all of these matters. While she was very tired, she simply did not feel sleepy.
She was probably unable to sleep because the incident had occurred too abruptly, so she was still too anxious at the moment.
Lin Che looked up at Gu Jingze. "But I still can't sleep." Just then, Gu Jingze suddenly lowered his head. His eyes approached her all of a sudden, making Lin Che immediately think that he was about to knock into her. However, his face merely came close to hers and he suggested coolly, "Why don't I make you exercise? If I tire you out completely, then you'll sleep."
"..." The situation had already come to this, but he still had the impudence to think about such things. Seriously?
