Chapter 93: Chapter 93 Wash Your Hands Thoroughly

They returned to Jing Mountain silently.

Just as Gu Qili changed her shoes, her wrist was grabbed by him. Without saying a word, he led her to the washroom, and pointed to the tap in front of her, his voice indifferent and emotionless, "Wash your hands."

Gu Qili didn’t understand why she needed to wash her hands when they weren’t about to eat.

But she didn’t ask further, obediently placing her hands under the tap and quickly rinsed them, just about to finish when he said, "Use soap."

Gu Qili: "..."

Confused, she applied some soap on her hands, rubbed them a few times, and then rinsed off the suds.

Thinking it was okay now, he pushed the soap dish slightly towards her again. This time, without speaking, he just stared intently at her. In the mirror, his face was still expressionless, cold as an iceberg.

Accustomed to his gaze, Gu Qili could read the meaning in his eyes. Silently sighing, she picked up the soap again and washed her hands thoroughly, scrubbing until they were covered in white foam, and only stopped when her skin almost peeled off, rinsing her hands clean with water.

He glanced down at her pale, slender hands, then left the washroom without a word.

Gu Qili stood in perplexity for a while before grabbing a towel to dry her hands.

That evening, while solving problems, she was about to take a pen from her pencil case when she suddenly noticed that the area stung by a bee earlier was no longer red or swollen. If not for this accidental discovery, she would have forgotten that she had been stung by a bee.

Recalling Mu Shuoqian’s odd behavior, Gu Qili hurriedly searched on her tablet and found out, apparently, soapy water can treat bee stings, and the sting should be neutralized with an alkaline solution. She had washed her hands so many times with soap, accidentally healing the bee sting.

She had no idea when he had noticed her sting, and for such a matter, he could have simply told her, instead of making it seem mysterious, making her think he had some kind of cleanliness fetish.

Gu Qili flipped through her books, finding herself unable to concentrate on any word.

Assisting her in solving difficult questions might be for prestige, but for such trivial matter, he could have ignored it since a bee sting isn’t fatal. Yet, his concern seemed excessive, showing meticulous care for her in every possible way, yet going out of his way to hide it from her.

It’s no longer the era of doing good deeds anonymously, so why was he being so awkward about it.

Gu Qili frustratingly wondered if she was overthinking again.

Damn, her mind was a mess thinking about him again; she tragically realized she was increasingly affected by his emotions, sinking into a vortex she couldn’t escape from, desperately needing someone to pull her out.

Gu Qili closed the worn book, opened the room door, and walked out.

His bedroom was just across, a step away.

Originally just curious to see if he was inside, she leaned against the door, which then opened unexpectedly, causing her to almost fall inside.

The door had not been closed.

Standing in the pitch-dark room, she rubbed her eyes, slowly adjusting to the dim light. Though there was no sound, she was certain—he was there.

As expected, behind the thick curtains by the floor-to-ceiling windows, she could vaguely see a tall figure standing there, back facing her, appearing very lonely and desolate.

His mood really wasn’t good today.

Gu Qili lightly coughed to remind him of her presence, timidly asking, "You didn’t have dinner tonight, would you like some noodles?"

Eventually, it was sympathy, wasn’t it?

The words quickly got swallowed by the air, the person standing there showed no reaction.

She slightly pursed her lips about to step away when his slightly hoarse voice said, "Come here."

She obediently walked over, tiptoeing quietly. Before she even got close, he seemed to have eyes at the back of his head, stretching out his long arm and scooping her into his embrace, tightening his hold, trapping her like a pitiful rag doll.
