Qin Zhi'ai went downstairs to the housekeeper's room . She found a first aid box there and brought it upstairs . She waited about half an hour until the bathroom door was pulled open . Gu Yusheng walked out in the pajama she had picked out for him .
Qin Zhi'ai turned around . She saw Gu Yusheng hadn't dried his hair yet, leaving water dripping down from his hair . She wrinkled her brows and murmured, "Why didn't you dry your hair?"
She walked into the bathroom and walked back to Gu Yusheng with a dry towel . "Sit down . I'll help you dry your hair . It's getting cold since we don't have heating yet . You'll catch a cold with wet hair . "
Gu Yusheng was still quiet . After he heard what Qin Zhi'ai said, he stared at her for a few seconds before he walked to the sofa and took a seat there .
Qin Zhi'ai stood behind him with the towel . She wrapped his head in the towel and gently rubbed it . She didn't stop rubbing until the towel had absorbed most of the water on his hair . She felt his hair and found it was still damp . "I'll go and get the blow dryer . "
Gu Yusheng waited a bit, not cocking his head to look at her back until Qin Zhi'ai had walked few steps away from him .
Gu Yusheng had worn a poker face since he had come home, but at this moment, he suddenly looked emotional .
When he heard footsteps from the bathroom, he pressed his lips together slightly and looked away from the bathroom . His face went back to blank .
Qin Zhi'ai plugged the hair dryer in and turned it on . She moved her fingers through his hair as the hair dryer blew hot air towards him .
They didn't talk . Though it was already bright outside, it was quiet in the room except for the noise from the hair dryer .
Gu Yusheng had been quiet since he had returned . Once his hair was almost completely dried, he suddenly spoke very harshly to Qin Zhi'ai . "Enough . "
Qin Zhi'ai was scared . Her hand shook, causing her to almost drop the hair dryer .
She looked at Gu Yusheng, perplexed . She immediately turned off the hair dryer and unplugged it .
She put the hair dryer back into the bathroom . Gu Yusheng was in the same position when Qin Zhi'ai came out of the bathroom . He was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed .
He hadn't been too nice, so Qin Zhi'ai didn't feel like talking to him in case she made him madder .
She knew he didn't have a good temper . At this moment, she was better off either pretending nothing had happened and crawling back into bed to sleep, or hiding somewhere far from him .
However, she couldn't help glancing at his hand .
After that night and the next, it would be the twelfth, which was the date she and Liang Doukou had set to switch back .
This could be a farewell for them . It was possible she would have no more chances to be nice to him after .
Qin Zhi'ai struggled for a while and finally plucked up her courage to walk to Gu Yusheng . She said in a low voice, "Let me put a bandage on your hand . "
Gu Yusheng didn't respond at all, not talking or looking up . He was so quiet that he looked like he was sleeping .
Qin Zhi'ai wasn't sure if he agreed or not . She stood there for a while before she grabbed the first aid kit . She took out a few Q-tips with iodine and some bandages, then took a seat next to Gu Yusheng and put his hand on her lap .
Gu Yusheng curled his fingers slightly, but the movement was noticeable . It looked like he wanted to pull his hand back, but he didn't in the end .
Qin Zhi'ai gently cleaned his wound with Q-tips drenched in iodine . She tore the bandage wrapper open and carefully put it on his hand .
As Qin Zhi'ai dealt with the last wound on his hand, Gu Yusheng suddenly looked up and threw her a cold look like he had when she dried his hair . "Aren't you tired of pretending to be someone else?"
