She must see me as a jerk. I used to do so many cruel things to her… He stared at the lamp for a while, Gu Yusheng blinked his eyes and looked at Qin Zhi’ai. “Anyway, I don’t regret it. Even if I come back again, I’ll still do it.”

Even if he had done so many cruel things to her, those had been signs of his love for her.

Though they hadn’t been perfect, they had been genuine.

Gu Yusheng’s att.i.tude had changed so quickly, and his words were baffling.

Qin Zhi’ai couldn’t understand what he had said at all, so she kept silent.

They sat quietly in front of the tombstone. Since Qin Zhi’ai had gone out in a hurry, she had only wore a thin skirt. It was extraordinarily cold halfway up the mountain after the rain, so she couldn’t help shuddering in the chilly wind.

Thinking about what had happened during her stay at his villa, Gu Yusheng came back to reality. He stood up and reached out to Qin Zhi’ai. “Let’s go home.”

Staring at Gu Yusheng’s hand, she raised her hand, held his, and stood up with his help.

She had thought that after she stood up, he would let her hand loose. Beyond her expectations, after she loosened her grip, he held her hand tighter. Then he stooped to pick up his suit jacket on the ground and led her to downhill.

Because of his fever, the warmth of his hand was hotter than usual.

The burning temperature, along with their clasped hands, went directly to her heart, causing her heart to beat more rapidly.

As a matter of fact, this was regarded as their first time walking hand in hand. And it turned out to be such a feeling…

…

Since Gu Yusheng and Qin Zhi’ai had both gone there with their own cars, so they had to drive back separately.

Gu Yusheng helped Qin Zhi’ai open the door to her car. Seeing her get in the car and fasten her seatbelt, he closed the door.

After she started her car and left, he got into his own car and drove behind her, keeping a safe distance.

…

It was four o’clock in the morning when they arrived back home.

With a high fever, Gu Yusheng was already exhausted. After taking a shower, he went to bed and quickly fell asleep.

Though Qin Zhi’ai felt exhausted, too, after showering, she dragged herself to put on makeup and then went to sleep.

She was worried about Gu Yusheng, so couldn’t sleep at ease. Occasionally, she reached out and touched his forehead. Gu Yusheng’s fever didn’t go away until dawn. Upon seeing his recovery, Qin Zhi’ai went to sleep relievedly.

They both slept soundly.

At one in the afternoon, Qin Zhi’ai once woke up. Seeing Gu Yusheng was still sleeping heavily beside her, she stared at him carefully for a while, then fell asleep with him again.

When she woke up the second time, it was already sunset. Bedside her, there was no one. Gu Yusheng had already gone.

Because she had overslept, Qin Zhi’ai felt groggy. After staying in bed for a long time, she got up to go to the washroom lazily. She came out, sat at the dresser, and put on her makeup again. Then she left the bedroom with her hand touching her empty belly.

Before she went downstairs, she heard the buzzing sound of the smoke detector. It was probably since the door to the kitchen wasn’t closed, but the smell of dishes was coming out of the kitchen.

Has the housekeeper come back from her vacation?

Feeling hungrier, Qin Zhi’ai ran downstairs quickly with her hand on the railing.
