nLin Che felt as if blood had suddenly rushed to her brain, turning it to complete chaos.

nIt was only when his slightly cool lips brushed against hers and left behind a lingering patch of moisture that she regained her senses.

nHe had kissed her…

nAnd he was still kissing her.

nHe daringly pried her teeth open and almost raided her of all her air, not giving her any space to think at all.

nTheir tongues knocked against each other and his tongue wrapped around the tip of hers. With one forceful suck, all of her blood seemed to begin flowing backward and a feeling of numbness immediately spread across her entire body.

nLin Che’s eyes widened. As she looked at his perfect face in such close proximity, a fragrance embraced her. It was tinged with the heat of ambiguity and it caused her to suddenly forget her pain.

nHer fingers clutched his strong hand as the heat still in his palm traveled into her hand in threads.

nShe did not feel an ounce of pain again until the doctor stitched her wound up.

nUntil Gu Jingze slowly released her lips.

nHer scent was as sweet as he remembered.

nAfter he released her lips, the remnants of desire lingered between his teeth.

nIt might have been the earlier spike in adrenaline that had allowed Lin Che, who had lost an excessive amount of blood, to stay awake all this while. However, when the doctor stood up and said that he was done treating her, she laid down and fainted immediately like a broken string that was released.

nWhen Lin Che woke up, she realized that there was an expanse of blue around her. There were various types of apparatus in operation.

nShe froze and struggled to get up only to pull her wound below that left her feeling a stabbing pain. However, she sensed that someone was still holding her hand.

nIt was only then that she saw Gu Jingze laying by the bedside, fast asleep.

nHer slight movement caused him to open his eyes instantly. “What happened?”

nHe looked at her with slight anxiousness. “Is there anything wrong with you?”

nHe looked a little tired. Lin Che could not help but wonder if he had stayed here accompanying her for the entire night.

nLin Che quickly said, “No, no. I just pulled on my wound slightly.”

nUpon hearing this, Gu Jingze rushed to stand up and lifted the blanket to check her wound.

nIt was still tightly bandaged and probably would not lead to any complications.

nHe let out a sigh of relief and frowned at her. He said, “Be a little more careful. Don’t move around for no reason.”

nIn the last night, she mumbled from time to time and her groaning made him feel uneasy.

nHe could only hold her hand like this and stay beside her throughout the night. It was only when dawn approached that he succumbed to his tiredness by laying down and falling asleep.

nQin Hao could not bear to see him like this and wanted him to sleep in the adjacent hospital room. But each time he moved, Lin Che would grunt a few times.

nThus, he lifted his hand and gestured for Qin Hao to leave. He stayed here looking after her the entire night.

nFortunately, the doctor said that although a major artery had ruptured, the bleeding had stopped and she was going to heal with timely treatment.

nHowever, a large amount of blood flowed from the major artery, so even though the bleeding stopped, there was still an excessive amount of blood loss, which caused her to feel very weak.

nThe doctor also said that it was highly dangerous for the major artery there to bleed. If not for the timely treatment, she would have likely died within a short amount of time.

nLin Che felt that she seemed to be in much better spirits as she looked around the luxurious VIP ward. If not for the excessive number of apparatus, it really looked nothing like a ward. She knew that she was probably alright now. At the same time that she heaved a sigh of relief, she suddenly remembered. “Oh no, what about my title deed and my property deed?”

nGu Jingze looked at her, dumbfounded. “I don’t know.”

nLin Che was shocked. “No way!”

nShe had tossed it aside somewhere in her moment of anxiety. How could it be that no one kept it for her?

nLin Che said, “How could this happen? It’s such an important thing.”

nGu Jingze gazed at her deeply. “Fine. If it was really so important, then why didn’t you hug your title and property deeds tightly and huddle into a corner? You even tossed them aside and jumped on me.”

nHe felt slightly apologetic towards her. He did not expect her to actually react that way.

nLin Che blinked. “I forgot what happened. Maybe I did it in a moment of impulse.”

nGu Jingze looked at her. “Don’t do it again next time. It was too dangerous.”

nLin Che said, “Of course. After being taught a lesson this time, I know what to do next time. It’s just because this was my first time and I didn’t have experience, so I didn’t know where to hide.”

nGu Jingze shook his head.

nLin Che said, “Oh right. My property deed and title deed can be recreated?”

n“Of course. If your name was on them, then they’re yours.”

n“That’s great.” Lin Che seemed to be relieved.

nGu Jingze said, “Okay, money-grubber. Since this problem has been solved, it’s time for you to eat something.”

nThe doctor said that she could eat when she woke up, so he had already asked someone at home to make something for her in advance.

nNow that she was awake, he called for someone to bring it over. However, she still wanted to move, so Gu Jingze pressed her down. “I’ll feed you. Just stay still.”

nLin Che looked at him with surprise.

nGu Jingze had already set down a small table. He picked up the spoon and carefully scooped out a spoonful of porridge. Bringing it to his mouth, he blew on it before bringing it towards Lin Che.

nLin Che watched his series of movements. They were smooth from beginning to end and it looked extremely good. She could not help but smile.

nShe opened her mouth and ate it in one bite, but subconsciously bit on the spoon.

nGu Jingze furrowed his brow. Looking at her lips, they were slightly redder than they were yesterday with a slight moistness brought out by the rice porridge. His throat bobbed and his brow turned a little more severe.

n“Oh… sorry,” she said vaguely after swallowing the porridge in her mouth without sensing anything different about Gu Jingze.

nGu Jingze said, “Can you eat a little more carefully?”

nAlthough his tone was impatient, he still reached out his fingers to wipe off the porridge trickling down from the corner of her mouth.

nHis fingers touched her soft and tender lips. A slight feeling of numbness seemed to spread from his fingertips.

nRight at this moment, his cell phone that he had placed at the side suddenly started ringing.

nIn response, Gu Jingze put down the bowl and looked at his cell phone.

nIt was a call from Mo Huiling.

nGu Jingze glanced at Lin Che before picking up his phone and walking out to answer it.

nLin Che blanked out. Watching the door close, she thought to herself, There’s no need to think to know who is calling.

nWhen Gu Jingze answered the call, he heard Mo Huiling’s worried voice.

n“Jingze, why didn’t you come yesterday night? You didn’t answer any of my calls either.”

nHis phone had rung once during the night but at the time, Lin Che was still in a coma. Worried that it would disturb her rest, Gu Jingze immediately instructed Qin Hao to take the phone out of the ward.

nUpon hearing the indignance in Mo Huiling’s voice, Gu Jingze said, “Something cropped up last night, so I couldn’t go.”

n“I don’t care what cropped up, Gu Jingze. If it happened on any other day, it would have been fine. However, yesterday was my birthday. How could you make me wait for you for so long alone?” Mo Huiling started to cry again.

nGu Jingze knew that Mo Huiling was very prone to crying. However, when he heard her cry at this moment, he could not help but think that Lin Che was actually not such a crybaby. Even though she had been in so much pain yesterday to the point where her teeth were chattering and she thought that she was about to die, she did not even shed a single tear.

nGu Jingze said, “Things were really quite urgent yesterday, so I didn’t go over. I’m sorry, Huiling. The next time we meet, I’ll talk to you about this properly again.”

n“Then will you come to see me tonight?” Mo Huiling’s voice weakened.

nGu Jingze pondered for a while. “I’m afraid today won’t work.”
