Chapter 113: Never Being Remembered Is The Cruelest Thing (3)

The cut wasn’t deep. It seemed like just a scratch, not a big deal.

Tiny beads of blood had appeared, but a bandage would fix it.

Before Gu Yusheng could make a decision, Lu Bancheng reached his hand out to Qin Zhi’ai, who was squatting on the floor. “Xiaokou, get up. I’ll take care of it.”

Gu Yusheng thought to himself that Qin Zhi’ai seemed to be close to Lu Bancheng. The day before, Lu Bancheng had urged him to pick her up after he heard she was stuck in the suburbs. She had almost fallen when she had walked out of his suite last night. Lu Bancheng had held her and scolded Gu Yusheng for her. That day, she had smiled at Lu Bancheng at lunch and told him to let her know if he craved any type of food.

Gu Yusheng squinted his eyes. He hadn’t made a decision in his head yet. He suddenly reached his hand out and lifted Qin Zhi’ai from the floor before Lu Bancheng could. He pulled her behind him, blocking her from Lu Bancheng.

Qin Zhi’ai was on an emotional roller coaster because of the conversation between Gu Yusheng and Wu Hao. At that moment, Gu Yusheng stood right in front of her and grabbed her arm in his hand. His hand was hot, passing the heat through her skin and straight to her heart. Back when they were young, they had crossed the road together once. A car had driven towards them. He had grabbed her arm and asked her to be careful for cars. The temperature she felt from his hand at that moment wasn’t the same as it had been back then.

Back then, the temperature on his hand had made a girl’s heart pump very fast.

At that moment, the temperature from his hand gave Qin Zhi’ai’s heart a sharp pain.

She was afraid that she would lose control at any moment. She struggled a bit and shook her arm from Gu Yusheng’s grasp.

This move to escape shocked Gu Yusheng. He wanted to tell her to find a bandage, but the words were stuck on his tongue.

He slowly laid his eyes on his empty hand. After a few seconds, he finally realized what had happened.

Gu Yusheng thought to himself, Why didn’t she immediately pull her hand out of Lu Bancheng’s when he tried to help her? She even thanked him. When he pulled her up, she looked as scared as a mouse seeing a cat, wishing to disappear. What a waste that I planned on asking about her hand.

Gu Yusheng was suddenly enraged. He pointed at the door with a cold look, yelling at Qin Zhi’ai, “Go back upstairs if you don’t want me to do it. Don’t humiliate me here.”

Gu Yusheng sounded harsh. Wu Hao felt bad for Qin Zhi’ai. To make her feel better, he tried to settle the tension. “Xiaokou, you must be tired after cooking lunch for us. Go upstairs and get some rest.”

Qin Zhi’ai looked down and tried to control the mist in her eyes. She could barely smile at Wu Hao. She turned around and hurried away after saying sorry.

“Brother Sheng, what are you doing?” Wu Hao couldn’t help complaining after he made sure Qin Zhi’ai was gone.
