Qin Zhiâai knew that Gu Yusheng was in a bad mood and didnât want to talk with her. She could also recognize that he was in an extremely bad mood at that time, so she didnât wait him to speak to her, just smiled at him with her curved lips and quickly ran upstairs.
After filling the bathtub with hot water, Qin Zhiâai went to the locker room to find a set of clean pajamas and put them on the hanger next to the bathroom, then ran downstairs.
When she had just ran past the corner, she stopped.
Gu Yusheng was still standing in place where he had stood before she went upstairs. Staring at the floor clock not far away, he had no expression on his face. His look was neither cold nor hot. His cold and indifferent appearance seemed no different than it had before.
However, Qin Zhiâai didnât know if she was being too sensitive. She felt like there was something wrong with Gu Yusheng.
She hesitated for a while before she called downstairs to Gu Yusheng in a low voice. âThe bath water is ready.â
Gu Yusheng didnât have any reaction, so Qin Zhiâai wasnât sure whether he heard her or not.
After a while, when Qin Zhiâai was ready to call him again, he slowly moved his gaze to her.
He just glanced at her, then he lowered his eyes and said nothing. He walked up the stairs step by step.
As he walked by her, his pace paused a little, but he didnât give her another glance. He passed her, turned the corner, and continued to go upstairs.
When Gu Yushengâs figure disappeared through the door of the master bedroom, Qin Zhiâai turned her head and looked upstairs.
Am I thinking too much? Why do I feel like Gu Yusheng seems to be acting a little cold towards me?
Qin Zhiâai had been pleased due to Gu Yushengâs return, but now, she became upset, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on her.
Qin Zhiâai stood in place for a while, then returned to the master bedroom. She thought that Gu Yusheng had already gone into the bathroom to take his bath. Outside of her expectations, when she pushed open the door, she saw him holding the suit jacket that she had taken off for him and standing at the door to the bathroom, motionless.
Qin Zhiâai thought that he was thinking about something, so she didnât bother him. But after around five minutes, he was still like a statue without any reaction. He hadnât even moved his eyelids.
Then Qin Zhiâai slowly walked to Gu Yusheng, took the jacket in his hand, and whispered, âThe bath water is getting cold, hurry.â
That time, when she finished speaking, Gu Yusheng had a reaction. He nodded at her, undid the buttons of his shirt, and walked into the bathroom.
After Qin Zhiâai threw his suit jacket into the hamper in the closet, she found that Gu Yusheng hadnât even closed the bathroom door. When she helped him close the door, she thought that he hadnât slept all night. He was definitely tired, so she went to the vanity and selected a bottle of essential oil, then stepped into the bathroom.
Gu Yusheng had just taken off his shirt. When he saw her coming in, he stopped taking off his pants.
Shaking the essential oil in her hand, Qin Zhiâai said, âThis is very useful for relieving fatigue.â
After explaining, Qin Zhiâai unscrewed the lid of the essential oil, poured some into the bathtub, and then got up and smiled gently at Gu Yusheng. After, she walked toward the bathroom door.
As she passed by him, she saw several shallow wounds on his hand out of the corner of her eye. He seemed to have been cut by pieces of glass.
Her footsteps stumbled slightly. Without speaking, she sped up again, walked out of the bathroom, and closed the door.
