Chapter 307 - 281: No Forgiveness ^
“Gu Li—”
Mo Shiting’s face suddenly changed, he strode quickly forward, shaking her shoulder.
“Wake up!”
Why is she so hot?
Is she having a fever?
The man frowned deeply, hastily grabbed a clean towel, wiped the bubbles off her body, wrapped her in the towel, and picked her up.
The girl didn’t wake up.
Mo Shiting’s heart clenched.
Laying her in the bed, he immediately took ice from the fridge to cool her down physically.
According to the thermometer, it was 38.2 degrees, thankfully not particularly severe.
He sat by the girl’s bed, staring at her pale sleeping face, his deep eyes unconsciously filled with deep affection.
“Don’t…”
“Brother Ting, don’t…”
Perhaps the events of that afternoon had traumatized her greatly – the girl was having restless sleep, filled with nightmares.
Listening to her unclear muttering, Mo Shiting felt a mix of regret and annoyance, his heart in a mess.
“It hurts…”
“It’s so painful…”
“Where does it hurt?”
He anxiously asked, his hoarse voice mixed with careful concern.
However, the girl’s brows were tightly furrowed, she kept shaking her head without any realization — she couldn’t respond at all.
Her fragile appearance in his eyes was like a sharp blade, stabbing his heart a thousand times over.
“I’m sorry!”
Unable to control himself, he grabbed her hand, bringing it to his lips for a kiss, as he choked with emotion.
“It hurts…”
The girl was still crying with pain.
Mo Shiting squeezed his eyes shut, subconsciously thinking about the wound on her body. After struggling for a moment, he lifted the quilt anyway.
He hadn’t checked carefully before and didn’t know how badly she was hurt.
Looking at it now, he felt even more guilty.
He searched her house and found many ointments that could be used to treat wounds and reduce swelling. Selecting the gentlest one, he applied it to her himself.
The cool touch of the ointment relieved Gu Li’s discomfort somewhat. Gradually, she stopped crying out in pain.
Seeing her finally sleeping peacefully, Mo Shiting breathed a sigh of relief.
After going through all this, he checked his watch – it was already 2 a.m. Although her fever had subsided significantly, Mo Shiting was still not at ease leaving her alone. After deliberating for a while, he decided to stay and watch over her.
He took a quick cold shower in the bathroom, changed into his robe, gave her a profound look, and then went to sleep on the sofa in the living room.
Gu Li slept until dawn.
When she opened her eyes, she found herself lying in bed with a towel on her forehead, her mind a blank.
What happened?
She couldn’t remember anything at all.
No, she remembered a bit now, it seemed that she had fallen asleep while bathing.
But why did she end up sleeping in bed?
Had she sleepwalked?
As Gu Li pondered, she habitually moved her softer than usual body.
Something is not right!
Why did she smell minty ointment on her body?
Who applied the ointment on her?
Bang
The girl suddenly sat up in bed, her face filled with horror.
At this moment, the door was pushed open from the outside, and a handsome face that shocked her even more appeared before her eyes.
“You—What are you doing here? Get out!”
Seeing Mo Shiting, Gu Li, no matter how dull-witted, could guess what had happened last night.
It was surely him who had carried her out from the bathroom and applied the ointment on her, right?
The thought of him applying ointment there made Gu Li only want to go berserk now.
Mo Shiting ignored her furious yelling and came over to her. Fearing that she would be seen, Gu Li quickly curled up in her blanket.
Mo Shiting, with his deep eyes fixed on her, asked, “Are you feeling better now?”
Keeping a straight face, Gu Li said, “Whether I’m okay or not, it’s none of your business. Get out! This is my house, you’re not welcome!”
Mo Shiting said, “I’ve made porridge. Want some?”
Gu Li was outraged by his stubbornness. She picked up a pillow and threw it at him angrily, “Can’t you hear I’m telling you to get out?”
Mo Shiting didn’t dodge. The handsome face was hit squarely, but he didn’t even frown. “Eat first, you won’t have the strength to hit me otherwise.” “You—”
Gu Li had never seen him so shameless before, and was momentarily speechless.
She could only take a deep breath and coldly told him to leave, “Get out, I need to change clothes!”
“Okay.”
Mo Shiting this time was cooperative. He immediately turned around and left. Seeing his tall and sturdy figure leaving, Gu Li bit her lip, her eyes reddening involuntarily.
What a joke!
Did he think that by coming over to care for her after hurting her so much, she would forgive him?
A relationship with cracks in it could never be completely mended.
Her feelings for him were the same.
She got up and went into the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face, taking her sweet time indoors before she finally stepped out of the room. Considering that it was a workday, she had assumed that he had already left but to her surprise, he was still there.
Gu Li walked past him, opened the front door, and said, “Get out!
