She cried out in surprise, hastily pressing her finger and rummaging through drawers for bandages.
After the chaos, Chu Ye sat on the floor, tears flowing. Not from pain, but because no one was there to comfort her. Sometimes women are like this – a small incident can touch their nerves.
The “Heavenly Immortal” ringtone sounded again. Without thinking, Chu Ye lunged for the phone and shouted, “Yunzhi!”
It was indeed Gu Yunzhi. Hearing her tearful voice, he immediately became anxious: “What’s wrong, Little Ye? What happened?”
Chu Ye sobbed without speaking, feeling a ball of grievance in her heart that she couldn’t quite articulate.
Not hearing her respond, Gu Yunzhi became more worried: “Little Ye, wait a moment, I’m coming up right now!”
Chu Ye was so startled her tears stopped. He was coming up immediately? She rushed to the window and saw his car parked below.
In less than a minute, knocking sounds came at the door. Chu Ye was stunned – he had actually forgotten to ring the doorbell?
The moment she opened the door and saw Chu Ye standing completely intact, Gu Yunzhi let out a long sigh of relief, “You scared me, I thought…” His gaze fell on her bandaged hand, and he exclaimed, “What happened?”
Chu Ye shook her head, her eyes watery.
Gu Yunzhi immediately saw the scattered ceramic fragments and understood. He sighed, went to the kitchen to get a broom, and carefully swept up every piece. He swept meticulously, afraid of leaving any fragments behind. Chu Ye silently watched him, and after he disposed of the fragments and returned from the kitchen, she suddenly hugged him from behind.
Gu Yunzhi’s body instantly stiffened. “Little Ye?” he called.
She didn’t respond, just pressed her face tightly against his broad back, greedily breathing in his scent. When he moved, she said, “Don’t move, just let me hold you like this…” She murmured, completely unaware of how seductive her voice sounded.
Gu Yunzhi felt a warm current surge through his body. He softly said, “Little Ye, it’s not that I didn’t answer your calls, but I really didn’t hear them…”
Chu Ye whispered, “But even if you had heard them, you wouldn’t have answered, would you?”
Gu Yunzhi was speechless. Chu Ye sighed, “I saw you two!”
