Lu Chengzhou’s jaw was a little tight and he asked her, “What if it can’t be cured this time? What will you do?”


  Gu Mang was silent for a few seconds. She looked into his eyes expressionlessly. “I will seriously consider your suggestion and look for someone else.”


  Lu Chengzhou stared at her, his dark eyes faintly threatening.

  Gu Mang smiled again in a way that was a pain in the eye and she whispered, “I will see you tomorrow.”


  Before she finished her words, Lu Chengzhou suddenly grasped the back of her neck with his big hands and pressed it down. Gu Mang subconsciously put her hands on his sides for fear of crushing him.

  In the next second, he kissed her and bit her lip as if it were a punishment. Gu Mang was stunned for a second before she could react. She struggled to move away.

  “Don’t move,” he said.

  Gu Mang paused, bent over, propped her arms on the bed, and put her fingers onto the white mattress. She looked at him with cold eyes.

  Lu Chengzhou stared straight at her with his lips pressed to hers. When he spoke, she felt ticklish. His voice was low and hoarse. “I have wounds on my body, be a good girl.”


  Gu Mang felt like she had been tricked. Her pupils shrank and she did not move. Their noses touched and their breaths were intertwined. The sweet scent from her body drifted into every inhale.

  His dark eyes were clear and moist. They were really alluring. Lu Chengzhou’s gaze darkened and he kissed her lips rather intensely……

  Gu Mang stayed in the medical room overnight. The bed was not small but it was enough for two people to sleep in. Lu Chengzhou lay in bed and played with her thin, pale fingers. Some parts of them were very soft and there were calluses on some parts.

  Gu Mang leaned on the bed slightly with her phone on her lap. She played mobile games with one hand and her fingers were very agile. Although she was only using one hand, she was defeating the opponents.

  “Are we sending the medicine over or are you returning?” She looked at him and asked concisely.

  Lu Chengzhou stared at her clean fingertips and wanted to bite them. He held it in and answered softly, “When your training is over, we will return together.”


  Gu Mang nodded. “Seven sets of medicine, then diet therapy. You will recover in a month.”


  When Lu Chengzhou heard this, he looked up and frowned. “So long?”


  Gu Mang had no expression on her face. She slanted her eyes at him. “What’s the hurry?”


  Lu Chengzhou was silent.

  Gu Mang laughed as she continued playing her game. Her tone was soft and she spoke slowly. “I remember that you have a higher tolerance than me.”


  She remembered. For the first time, Lu Chengzhou understood what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot.

  He changed the topic. “How’s Gu Si been training lately?”


  “He’s fine.” Gu Mang sounded calm. “Why, do you want to see him?”


  “Would he try to……” Lu Chengzhou cleared his throat. “Kill me while I’m sick?”


  Gu Mang thought for a while and answered, “Maybe.”


  Lu Chengzhou thought that she would continue the sentence and protect him in some way so he waited. But she did not make another sound.

  Lu Chengzhou understood. Gu Si wanted to fight with him and Gu Mang would probably sit and watch on the side eating popcorn.

  “Are you not going to sleep?” Gu Mang asked him.

  Lu Chengzhou touched the joints in her fingers and circled them. “Waiting for you.”


  “Oh,” Gu Mang uttered. After she finished a round of the game, she put her phone down and switched off the lights. Then, she lay down. “Go to sleep.”


  “Mmh.” Lu Chengzhou pulled the blanket to her side.

  Gu Mang shut her eyes. She could hear Lu Chengzhou’s rather unusual breathing pattern by her ear. It was heavier. The medical room was dark and peaceful. Gu Mang could hear his breathing crystal clear.

  She opened her eyes and looked in his direction. Then, she asked, “Are you not going to sleep?”


  Lu Chengzhou squeezed her hand. “After you.”


  Gu Mang bit her lip and grabbed his hand instead. “Is it very painful?”


  She did not like to use anesthesia. When she first left Red Flame and got hospitalized, she could not sleep because of the pain. Lu Chengzhou’s injuries were a lot worse than hers.

  The man chuckled softly. “Are we close now?”
