Qin Zhi'ai noticed large patches of dried blood on Gu Yusheng's back after applying the medicine for him .
Qin Zhi'ai looked up at Gu Yusheng . She noticed that he was looking out of the window with a peaceful look . She didn't want to interrupt him, so she quietly put the medicine bottle on the coffee table and tested the water temperature in the basin . She noticed the water was a little cold . She quietly carried the basin to the bathroom and added some hot water in it . After she walked out of the bathroom, Gu Yusheng had turned around to face her .
Qin Zhi'ai stopped and unconsciously gripped the basin's edges harder .
Gu Yusheng looked at the basin in her hands first, then laid his eyes on her face . Even though he didn't say anything, he looked like he had questions for her .
Qin Zhi'ai pressed her lips together and explained to him in a low voice . "I haven't finished cleaning your back . "
She sounded calm, but her pale knuckles gave her away . She gripped the basin so hard that it revealed her nervousness and anxiety .
Why is she so nervous when she talks to me? Gu Yusheng thought to himself .
Gu Yusheng didn't feel good about it . That feeling made him unsure of how to respond to her .
Qin Zhi'ai saw Gu Yusheng's silence, so she wasn't sure what was on his mind . She was afraid the idea of cleaning his back would make him mad . She scratched the edge of the basin and asked again in a quiet voice, "I-I'll ask the housekeeper over to help—"
Gu Yusheng felt a lump in his throat . He responded to her before she even finished talking . His response was short, but sounded so gentle that he couldn't believe it came out of his own mouth . "You can do it . "
After he said it, he moved his eyes to look at the mirror in front of him . He could clearly see the look on her face in the mirror . She looked like she had just escaped something life threatening . She heaved a sigh with her eyes closed . She looked up and secretly watched him for a while before she walked over with the basin . It seemed that she was going to check if he was really not angry with her .
She put the basin on the far end of the coffee table . She slowly and gently dried the towel, then walked behind him and carefully wiped the towel on his back to help him get clean .
Her gentle and slow wipes showed her cautiousness and carefulness, which made Gu Yusheng's eyes water .
This uncomfortable feeling soon changed into a slight and dull pain . It was subtle, but he clearly felt it . The pain made him lose his breath for a second . He was lost in thought as he watched her in the mirror .
After she cleaned his back, she carried the basin to the bathroom without lingering any longer .
He came back from his daydream with the sound of the water pouring into the sink . He heard the water splashing but didn't hear her walking out of the bathroom after a while .
She didn't walk close to him . Instead, she stood a distance away from him and only said, "Well . "
She pointed at the master bedroom across the hallway when he turned to look at her . She said quickly, "I'm going over there . " She turned around and walked away before he could say anything to her .
She walked so fast that she looked like she was running away from him .
Watching her run away made Gu Yusheng feel even worse . That bad feeling grew stronger and stronger .
As she reached her hand out to push the master bedroom door open, he couldn't help opening his mouth . The words were just on the tip of his tongue when he realized what he was trying to do .
