Back Then, I Adored You

Chapter 360: Wish A Start Without An End (10)

After filling the bathtub with hot water, Qin Zhi’ai 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 Zhi’ai didn’t 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. “The bath water is ready.”

Gu Yusheng didn’t have any reaction, so Qin Zhi’ai wasn’t sure whether he heard her or not.

After a while, when Qin Zhi’ai 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 didn’t give her another glance. He passed her, turned the corner, and continued to go upstairs.

When Gu Yusheng’s figure disappeared through the door of the master bedroom, Qin Zhi’ai 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 Zhi’ai had been pleased due to Gu Yusheng’s return, but now, she became upset, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on her.

Qin Zhi’ai 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 Zhi’ai thought that he was thinking about something, so she didn’t bother him. But after around five minutes, he was still like a statue without any reaction. He hadn’t even moved his eyelids.

Then Qin Zhi’ai slowly walked to Gu Yusheng, took the jacket in his hand, and whispered, “The bath water is getting cold, hurry.”

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 Zhi’ai threw his suit jacket into the hamper in the closet, she found that Gu Yusheng hadn’t even closed the bathroom door. When she helped him close the door, she thought that he hadn’t 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 Zhi’ai said, “This is very useful for relieving fatigue.”

After explaining, Qin Zhi’ai 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.
