Back Then, I Adored You

Chapter 281: Testing From All Angles (1)

He had lost his temper the other night at the amusement park, even though he had tried to control himself. No one knew how much he had tried.

A moment ago, he had almost failed to control his temper once again. When he saw her grow panicked and scared, his bad temper had seemed to disappear by itself.

He didn’t understand why his temper had changed until this moment. He realized it was out of care and love for her.

He was afraid of losing her, so he had started to do what she liked. He wanted to cherish her.

“Okay.” Qin Zhi’ai cleaned the last cut on Gu Yusheng’s palm with a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol.

Gu Yusheng pulled himself out of his daze. He stopped looking outside the window and turned to look at Qin Zhi’ai next to him.

She was putting a bandage on the cut that had just been cleaned. Putting a bandage on was simple, but it was so nice to watch her do it.

Qin Zhi’ai looked up at Gu Yusheng after she tossed the used cotton swab in the trash bin. “This hand shouldn’t get wet today. The cuts aren’t deep. You should be fine by tomorrow.”

It might have been that she was being nice and sounded like she cared about Gu Yusheng, but subconsciously, the way he looked at her started to become romantic. He couldn’t help reaching his hand out to smooth down the hairs he had messed up when he had swung his hand behind her ear. He responded to her with a low pitched “oh.”

His palm was still by her ear, and he didn’t move it away. The heat from his palm seemed like a flirty move, which made Qin Zhi’ai’s heart skip a beat.

A few seconds later, It didn’t seem like he intended to move his hand. Qin Zhi’ai’s back started to stiffen. Her eyes looked into his, and she shivered. She was shy and nervous, so she looked down. She didn’t dare to look at him.

Neither Qin Zhi’ai nor Gu Yusheng spoke a word. The study became quiet.

Qin Zhi’ai could almost hear Gu Yusheng’s breathing. She subconsciously gripped her skirt while her ears grew hot.

The air between them grew different. An unspeakable tension developed in the room.

Qin Zhi’ai felt like she had to do something. Her heart was beating so fast that she couldn’t take it any longer. If her heart continued to beat so fast, she was afraid she would die there.

Thinking this, Qin Zhi’ai immediately stood up and said hastily, “I, I have to go back to the bedroom to change, change my clothes.”

She grabbed the purse next to her as she talked.

She heard a noise before she even had the chance to turn around, and she instinctively turned around to look for where the noise was coming from. Gu Yusheng grabbed her by her waist. Before she realized what had happened, she was picked up by Gu Yusheng.

She screamed after she felt Gu Yusheng lift her into the air by her waist, then put her down. She felt something cold on her back.

She was shocked for a second before she realized she had been laid on the coffee table. The other stuff on the coffee table had scattered across the floor of the study.

So the noise I heard was him swiping all the stuff on the coffee table onto the floor? Qin Zhi’ai contemplated to herself.

Before Qin Zhi’ai could answer her own question, Gu Yusheng suddenly bent down and pinned her body down on the coffee table with his arms and looked down into her eyes.
