âI was tired.â Because she was lying, Qin Zhiâai replied simply.
âWhat did you buy?â Lowering his eyes, Gu Yusheng took a sip of coffee with a calm look.
âNothing.â Qin Zhiâai realized that such an answer was too perfunctory, and then she continued, âI didnât see anything I liked while shopping, so I didnât buy anything.â
Gu Yusheng kept lowering his eyes, but nobody knew that he was holding the cup of coffee with a tight grip.
He knew better than anyone else that she hadnât gone shopping at all. However, after he had come home from SPK, he had looked at his phone obsessively and looked forward to receiving text receipts from the bank that notified him of account activity.
However, as time passed by, he smoked cigarette after cigarette. He had nearly smoked an entire pack of cigarettes, but still hadnât received any information.
The feeling of waiting was so suffering that he felt a slight pain in his chest.
When she was back, she stood in front of him, calmly answering his questions, as if every word she spoke was true.
Gu Yusheng, who was suffering from pain in his chest, felt even more pain at that moment, as if his chest had been torn by someoneâs hand.
He pressed his lips tightly together, then he heard a click. Subsequently, the coffee cup dropped onto the ground, broken into pieces.
As Qin Zhiâai screamed in a low voice, she suddenly grabbed Gu Yushengâs hand that he had used to hold the cup. She said, âAre you okay?â
Almost the exact moment her fingertips touched his, Gu Yusheng shook her hand off violently without a second thought.
He jerked so hard that she was slammed onto the desk to the side, and she bumped her waist at the corner of the table, uttering a light cry of pain.
Though the sound was too low to be heard by most, Gu Yusheng heard it clearly.
He trembled slightly, then turned his head to Qin Zhiâai.
Seeing the girlâs pale face, caused by pain, he suddenly pulled himself back to reality. He lowered his head and looked at his palm. He realized that he had just crushed the handle of the coffee cup in his hand. The porcelain pieces had impaled his palm, and there were drops of blood flowing out.
So did she grab my hand because she saw my wound?
His anger and boredom were suddenly replaced by concern and annoyance. Without hesitation, he took a step forward and held out his other hand to pull at her arm. âAre you okay?â
Lowering her eyes, Qin Zhiâai shook her head.
Her alienation seemed like a stab into Gu Yushengâs heart, which made him more remorseful. He stretched the corner of his lips, then said without a second thought, âJust now, that was my fault. I was afraid that the broken pieces in my hand would hurt your hand.â
Qin Zhiâai had thought that Gu Yusheng would become angry again. When she heard his words, she felt a little relieved. She raised her eyes and looked at Gu Yusheng secretly.
Gu Yusheng was afraid of seeing Qin Zhiâai act timidly to him. When he met her eyes, he hurried to continue, âWhere were you hurt? Are you feeling any pain? Do you need me to call Doctor Xia for you?â
âNo, thereâs no needâ¦â Qin Zhiâai shook her head hastily. Knowing that he wasnât angry, she became more courageous. She took his injured hand again. âIâm fine, but what about you? Youâd better deal with this wound quickly.â
Without speaking a word, Gu Yusheng let Qin Zhiâai take him to sit on the sofa.
He stared at her for a while as she looked down at the wound and dealt with it, then turned to look out the window. He turned his head and looked out the window.
He had always known that his temper was bad. Especially when he faced her, he always lost control, but she didnât know that she was both the reason for his loss of control and the reason for his improved temper.
