However, Lin Che didn’t know what to say. She only looked at Gu Jingze with a stunned expression, feeling that she was all too silly and embarrassing.

What was she doing these few days? She said she wanted to keep a distance from him but in the end, she saw through her own selfishness.

She didn’t want to keep a distance from him at all. Instead, she only wanted him to love her…

To make things worse, she was throwing a tantrum the whole day and had even misunderstood him until now.

Jealousy really clouded her head and heart.

She didn’t want to admit it but if this kind of suffering wasn’t envy or jealousy, what else could it be?

Her tears hung at the corners of her eyes. Gu Jingze looked at her pitifully and wiped away the last teardrop off her eyelash.

Somehow, he simply didn’t want to see her shed a tear. Not a single drop.

She did make him really mad over the past two days but he still didn’t want to see her cry.

Lin Che hastily said, “I-I-I… I didn’t mean that. You can see whoever you want. I’m not…”

She only regretted it now and quickly spoke up. However, her tone no longer displayed sadness from before.

Her expression was written all over her face because of this small matter. Now, she was full of pride. Her mood was completely different from just now.

Gu Jingze squinted his eyes like diamonds reflecting the light. He held her cheek and looked at her face, “Are… are you jealous?”

Lin Che’s face blushed once again.

“You… No way. I don’t like sourness.”

Lin Che was feeling so embarrassed.

She quickly turned away, especially since Gu Jingze was snickering. She might as well have buried her head.

Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che from the side and carefully wrapped up her leg. He said, “Silly girl, I did see Mo Huiling that day and I also went to see Doctor Chen before that. He asked me what exactly made me angry. After thinking about it, I actually just felt that Huiling was only holding herself back. She found someone who was previously my rival as if she intentionally wanted to anger me. That was why I got angry. To be honest, I was disappointed in Huiling and I wasn’t jealous at all. Thus, I went to see Huiling hoping that she would wake up. Who knew that she would suddenly come at me and make my illness act up? Furthermore, every time I touch her now, my illness gets worse each time. It seems like I really only have hatred for her now. I have no other feelings for her.”

Lin Che heard his words and she gradually understood that it turned out to be like that…

He wasn’t with Mo Huiling for that long.

Gu Jingze smiled and inched closer, “So you were mad at me and ignored me because you thought I was getting intimate with another woman?”

Hearing this reason now seemed rather ridiculous.

He never liked an unreasonable woman but thinking about this reason, he was actually slightly excited. He didn’t feel disgusted at all.

Lin Che felt his smile coming closer as he intentionally teased her. She got angry and hit his chest, “You’re just teasing me on purpose. Gu Jingze, you’re doing it on purpose. You dare to laugh at me?”

“Okay, okay, I get it. I won’t say it anymore so stop hitting me,” Gu Jingze quickly grabbed her hands.

Looking at her cheeks, her face was still blushing like an autumn moon.

Gu Jingze’s heart softened, “Really, I won’t see her ever again.”

“You could be lying. Who knows,” Lin Che pouted and looked away. “Even if you secretly went to meet her without my knowledge, that’s okay too. I won’t be so ridiculous next time. You can see her if you want to. You don’t need to hide it from me.”

Gu Jingze said, “Of course it’s the truth. Do you want me to show you my heart?”

“Show it then. Let me see,” Lin Che challenged.

Gu Jingze’s lips curled up as he looked deep into her eyes, “Okay okay, I’ll show you.”

As he spoke, he unbuttoned his shirt and revealed his collar. He continued unbuttoning his shirt with his fingers and his body came closer to her. Although it was a cold night, his fragrant scent was heated as it wafted towards her.

Was he really stripping?

Lin Che’s eyes widened as she stared at him. He asked, “What if I stripped and showed you?” Lin Che quickly replied, “Gu Jingze!”

He was seriously getting dirtier!

“Why are you really stripping?!”

“You said that you wanted to see the real me. Why would I fake it? Of course, I will strip for real. I’ll let you touch me to see if my heart is real.”

He took her hand up along his shirt and reached in.

My God! What was this?!

“No! What are you doing, Gu Jingze? I don’t want to touch you.”

“You said it yourself.”

“I did not! Who wants to see you strip? Seriously…”

Lin Che quickly withdrew her hand. This was so ridiculous; they were out on the main street!

She hastily turned around to see if anybody was watching but she realized that everyone was standing straight up in the distance. The whole row of black wouldn’t let anyone dare come over but her face was still burning up in awkwardness.

Gu Jingze looked helplessly at her droopy little head. He reached out and rubbed her hair, “Although a woman like you is dumb, stupid, and is more capable at making others angry…”

He sighed helplessly, “I just can’t leave you be. I can simply leave you right here but it’s too bad that when I think about how dumb you are… if I threw you here, who knows if someone might dupe you?”

His hand fiddled with the hair in front of her face, “Tell me. Did you drug me with a love-philter?”

Lin Che’s heart was extremely warmed by this. Was he speaking sweet-nothings?

Then, Gu Jingze’s sweet-nothings were too special. He was completely different from those sweet guys. When a proper man said such words so seriously, it really made her heart flip in sweetness.

In her opinion, Gu Jingze was a completely strict, old prune. Thus, even if what he said wasn’t so sweet, she would have still found it especially heartwarming. It made her really shy.

But what did he mean by drugging him?

Gu Jingze tugged at her and asked, “That time at the hotel… the drug you gave me was a love-philter, right?”

“Bastard, where can you buy such a thing on Earth?” Lin Che replied.

“Really? Then why did I still look for you when I really wanted to strangle you?”

“You… Who knows what’s up with you? Maybe you’re just that perverted.”

“…”

Gu Jingze asked, “You really don’t know? You’re not lying?”

“Of course…”

“That mouth of yours should be closely inspected. I don’t believe you, you liar. I have to do a body check to see if you’re lying or telling the truth.”

“What body check…”

He suddenly held the back of her head and kissed her lips.

Was this what he meant by a body check?
