Chapter 104: Chapter 104: I want...

Gu Beihuai wasn’t slow to react; he just hadn’t expected it.

Tang Chuxia managed to succeed in an instant, knowing she couldn’t miss the opportunity. She swiftly retracted her hand after touching the firm muscles.

Lying on the hospital bed, she smiled like a little fox that had successfully stolen some treats.

That radiant expression was simply eye-piercing.

"Tang——Chu——Xia!!!"

Squeezing out each word, Gu Beihuai didn’t get a chance to say anything before Tang Chuxia raised her hand, "I was wrong!"

She was practically a scoundrel, utterly unprincipled.

Gu Beihuai felt a blockage in his chest, unable to swallow or spit it out, and he was about to explode with anger.

If not for the fact that they were the only two in the hospital room, Gu Beihuai might have thrown Tang Chuxia out at that moment.

"You..."

He opened his mouth but hadn’t said anything when Tang Chuxia clutched her head, "Ah, my head hurts!"

Gu Beihuai: ...

With a dark expression, he went to call the doctor.

Tang Chuxia rubbed her hands and looked up at the ceiling, her smile fading, "Too uptight! I just touched it for a moment!"

But it did feel nice and warm, perfect for warming hands.

She thought how delightful it would be to hold such a warm furnace at night while sleeping.

Yet thinking about Gu Beihuai’s ascetic restraint, her head hurt even more.

The doctor hurried in, extremely curious about Tang Chuxia’s body condition, and fired off question after question, regardless of age, his eyes practically glowing, wishing he could dissect her on the spot.

Tang Chuxia awkwardly responded. In the end, having no other choice, she sought Gu Beihuai’s help, but he was still mad about being teased and didn’t pay her any attention, leaving her in despair and in tears.

"Uncles, I’m in pain! My head hurts!"

A group of old doctors finally realized how poorly they were treating Tang Chuxia and coughed apologetically, leading Gu Beihuai out and letting Tang Chuxia rest.

"So, how is it?"

Gu Beihuai eventually remembered his mother’s request for him to take care of Tang Chuxia.

The oldest and most experienced doctor stepped forward, "The situation is unclear!"

Gu Beihuai: ...

Then why ask so many questions with no diagnostic result? What’s the point?

He wasn’t the most good-natured character, and now he was even more impatient.

"When will you have a conclusion?"

His voice was stiff, exuding a constant menace.

The old doctor, who had seen many things, found it unbearable and smiled bitterly, "Mr. Tang’s condition is too unique; we’ve never encountered it, and it’s hard to arrive at a conclusion quickly. Maybe have her stay for further observation?"

If there’s such a special patient, they must study her thoroughly.

Gu Beihuai narrowed his eyes, "Observe? Is she a monkey?"

The old doctor coughed heavily to cover, "No need to put it so harshly!"

They also have gaps in knowledge.

"Little Gu, are you feeling protective?"

The director arrived with others and happened to hear Gu Beihuai’s words, teasing him.

Gu Beihuai glanced at the smiling director, knowing what he intended, "Uncle, if you keep saying nonsense, I’ll talk to Grandma about, for example, the treasure you have in Xishi Alley!"

He whispered a warning into the director’s ear.

The director’s face went dark immediately, his smiling expression vanishing instantly.

"You brat, if you dare talk nonsense in front of your grandma, I’ll tan your hide!" The director shouted before remembering there were still people around, all his subordinates.

His face flushed, he pulled Gu Beihuai aside, "What are you up to?"

Gu Beihuai gave a nonchalant "Oh," "You know Xiaxia’s situation, she can’t stay!"

The uncle lowered his voice too, "You fancy her?"

Gu Beihuai raised an eyebrow at him, "The organization chose her, not me!"

The uncle chuckled, "You’re so worried, I get it, I get it all!"

Gu Beihuai didn’t understand what he got, just about to argue, when the uncle excitedly reminded him, "Even if you’re slowly tormenting Xiaxia by putting her under your command, she’s still a girl, don’t go too far!"

Gu Beihuai: ...

The uncle, understanding so well, patted his shoulder and nodded meaningfully.

"Take her away!"

Gu Beihuai: ...

A group of old doctors were reluctantly led away by the director, and Gu Beihuai looked at his slouched uncle’s back, gritting his teeth.

Deep breath—

Exhale—

Deep breath—

Exhale—

It was utterly useless; he still wanted to curse.

Turning around abruptly, he just caught Tang Chuxia peeking out. When she saw Gu Beihuai looking over, she immediately put on her most charming smile, albeit the purple ointment on her cheeks was truly an eyesore.

But that wasn’t the main reason Gu Beihuai couldn’t calm down; it was Tang Chuxia’s change.

"Tell me, who are you really!"

Gu Beihuai entered the ward and closed the door, unkindly pinning Tang Chuxia to the bed, his eyes full of fire.

"Let me kiss you, and I’ll give you the answer!"

She spoke candidly, leaving Gu Beihuai bewildered.

He pinched Tang Chuxia’s earlobe, which was like white jade. Although it had already scabbed over, the spot he had bitten, drawing blood earlier, still had a sensation of pain.

His finger pad rubbed back and forth over the scabbing, and Tang Chuxia could clearly feel the warm sensation above, even the fine hair on her earlobe tracing the lines on his fingertip.

If it weren’t for the hot anger in Gu Beihuai’s eyes, Tang Chuxia might have found him even more captivating at this moment.

"In your dreams!"

Gu Beihuai had come to realize that Tang Chuxia indeed had the ability to infuriate him to the point of blood pressure soaring to 180.

Tang Chuxia wasn’t afraid of him at all. Her fingers brushed against his Adam’s apple, "Oh my, the mark has disappeared; how have you been hiding it these days?"

Mentioning the mark on his Adam’s apple only made Gu Beihuai more upset.

That day, after being sucked by Tang Chuxia, he almost didn’t dare to go out, mainly because it was too hard to hide.

Whenever the Adam’s apple moved, there was always a faint sensation. Clearly, that feeling shouldn’t affect him, but he just couldn’t ignore it.

Later, with no other solution, he simply pinched it himself, turning the tiny blood spots into a bruise, and only then did it become less of a concern.

He hadn’t actually paid much attention, but instead, he had burdened himself with needless paranoia.

He could have forgotten all about it, but with Tang Chuxia mentioning it again, he sank back into gloom.

"What do you really want?"

Gu Beihuai had truly had enough, nearly driven to madness; all the unexpectedness in his life centered around Tang Chuxia.

If he were to rank the people he least wanted to see in his lifetime, Tang Chuxia would outdistance the second by countless times.

But if asked whom he was most defenseless against, Tang Chuxia would still convincingly hold the top spot, surpassing the second by numerous times.

Gu Beihuai held Tang Chuxia’s finger in check, looking particularly innocent, "Do you really need to ask?"

Gu Beihuai’s expression remained unchanged, still focusing intently on her.

"Brother Beihuai!"

"Of course, I want you, my Brother Beihuai!"
