Chapter 144: Chapter 144 Concern and Guilt

His gaze softened in an instant, and Gu Yixuan got up from her, pulling out two tissues to press against his forehead.

No sooner had Mo Ran gained her freedom than she wrapped herself haphazardly in her clothes and dashed upstairs.

"You..." Gu Yixuan hadn’t finished speaking when she bolted up the stairs like a wisp of smoke. Watching her flee in a panic, he found it somewhat amusing.

Like a startled little bunny, she ran faster than anyone else.

"Hiss—" The wound still hurt a bit, so he discarded the blood-soaked tissues and drew out two more to press against the cut.

Today’s incident was indeed a case of reaping what he sowed.

Nevertheless, he hadn’t anticipated that she would strike him.

He thought she would only fight others for Mo Yan’s sake, not realizing that when pushed into a corner, she too would lash out.

For some reason, Gu Yixuan felt not only no worse but actually much better after she’d cracked his head open.

Mo Ran rushed back to her room, and the first thing she did was to rummage for clothes to put on. Once dressed, she collapsed limply on the floor.

It was terrifying. If she had been a bit stronger, could she have killed Gu Yixuan?

She never harmed anyone, not daring even to kill a fish. Breaking his head was truly an act of force. Mo Ran’s heart was riddled with unease, completely forgetting Gu Yixuan’s coercion, focusing only on her guilt for having cracked open his head.

After staying in her room for a while and not hearing any noise from downstairs, she wondered if Gu Yixuan could have passed out from too much blood loss.

With that thought, her worry and guilt intensified even more.

Biting her lip tightly, she felt scared enough to cry. What to do? Should she go down to check?

After hesitating over and over, Mo Ran still opened the door and walked out.

Gu Yixuan was leaning on the sofa, eyes closed, not stirring. Mo Ran’s heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly ran down.

Just as she was about to call out to him, his eyes abruptly opened, startling her.

"Are you... are you okay?" she stuttered.

Seeing how frightened she was, Gu Yixuan couldn’t help but be amused, "Rest assured, your little bit of strength isn’t enough to kill me."

Mo Ran saw that his wound indeed wasn’t deep and that the bleeding had almost stopped, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then I’m going back up," she said, turning to leave.

"Stop." Gu Yixuan called out to her, "You’re not going to leave it like this, are you?"

"Aren’t you fine?" Perhaps he wanted to hit back?

Gu Yixuan gave her an incredulous look, "Go get the first aid kit, I need you to apply some medicine."
