Red exclamation point (2)

As soon as she saw Gu Xun’s face, all those records engraved in her mind immediately flew past like bullet comments.

For example, what came to mind at this moment was the sentence she had said, “Being liked by a beautiful and talented girl like me who can play games and watch football with him is a blessing he had cultivated in three lifetimes.”

Fine.

Whether you stick your head out or shrink your head, it’s death either way.

As long as I don’t bring it up, it’s like it never happened.

So, Yue Qianling tried to put on a calm demeanor and reached out to him.

“Why did it take you so long to get the hairdryer?”

“I forgot where I put it.”

Gu Xun walked over in two or three steps and handed the hairdryer to her.

Yue Qianling immediately wanted to close the door but heard him say, “Do you have any ointment at home?”

“Huh?”

Yue Qianling was stunned for a moment, “What ointment?”

Gu Xun took a moment, allowing Yue Qianling to clearly see the bruise on his jaw.

“What do you think?”

Yue Qianling took a glance and immediately averted her gaze, feeling a bit guilty.

Although she was carried away by anger at that time and lost her rationality, no matter what, hitting someone was always wrong, and she even damaged the person’s face.

Scar ointment was something she always had at home, because she herself had a tendency to scar easily.

Especially in the summer, she attracted mosquitoes, and when she was bitten a few times, the swelling might not go away until the next winter if she didn’t treat them.

But was it necessary for a man like Gu Xun to be so delicate?

“No, what a big wound. Do you want me to help you stitch it up?”

“No need for stitches.”

Gu Xun touched the wound with his thumb and hissed, “It’s just that I have a tendency to scar, and if I don’t treat it, it will leave a scar.”

Yue Qianling found it a bit unbelievable.

“Do you really understand scar constitution?”

Gu Xun looked over with a glance. Seeing her expression of doubt, he suddenly lifted the hem of his clothes, revealing his lean waist and abdomen.

Yue Qianling’s blood rushed to her head in one breath, her eyes widening.

This person, he was just talking, why did he start lifting up his clothes?

But he stood in front of her at close range, so when she raised her eyes, all she could see was his abdominal muscles. She couldn’t help but feel that they were really sexy.

“Are you crazy?”

Yue Qianling’s cheeks turned visibly red, and she immediately turned away, “What are you doing taking off your clothes?”

“I’m showing you the scars on my body.”

He pointed to his waist with his other hand, “I was cut by a wire in my third year of high school, and I still have a scar.”

Hearing his words, Yue Qianling squinted her eyes and secretly went to look at the scar.

She turned her head little by little and took a look at his waist, but she didn’t see the scar, and her attention fell on his abdominal muscles.

Yue Qianling almost froze in place, forgetting to hide her direct gaze.

“Did you see it?”

“I saw it, I saw it!”

She saw fart.

Yue Qianling didn’t really pay attention to any scars on his body. She just felt her face turning red above her neck, and she turned away once again.

Gu Xun slowly put down his clothes and looked down at her, “You also said that I don’t have any merits, just a good-looking face.”

“……”

Yue Qianling suddenly clenched her fist, feeling a tingling sensation on her scalp.

It would have been fine if he hadn’t mentioned it, but now that he did, all the embarrassing things she had said flashed through her mind again.

“If I ruin my appearance and lose the only advantage I have, I won’t be able to find a wife in the future. Will you be responsible?”

“What are you afraid of? Didn’t you say you might also like handsome men? Don’t stick too rigidly to gender. Having more options means having more paths.”

“……”

“……”

As soon as the words fell, both of them froze.

Following that, Gu Xun let out a long “oh” and said knowingly, “So, it turns out you were talking about me back then.”

Awkwardness permeated the air, making Yue Qianling want to slap herself.

Why bring it up! Why!

She blushed, didn’t say anything, and directly turned around and walked straight toward her room.

Watching her back, Gu Xun smiled, leaned against the door frame, and quietly observed her home.

The layout was obviously the same, but it gave people a completely different feeling.

Both homes were neat and tidy, but hers had more vitality, as if someone had been living here for many years, with quite a few fancy snacks piled up.

There were even some stuffed dolls on the sofa.

She surprisingly had a girlish heart.

After a while, Yue Qianling came out of the room, and Gu Xun retracted his gaze.

“Take it.”

Yue Qianling handed him a small tube of ointment, “With your wound, it’ll be gone in a week at most.”

“Okay.”

Gu Xun didn’t immediately take the ointment, his gaze falling on her wet hair.

As his eyes lowered, the ends of her hair were resting on her collar, wetting her pajamas.

Perhaps because she had just taken a shower, even the skin on her collarbone was adorned with a faint blush.

Before Yue Qianling could notice his gaze, Gu Xun shifted his eyes away and took the ointment from her hand.

At the same time, he said, “There’s no second option.”

Yue Qianling: “Huh?”

He lowered his head, and the tip of his nose was filled with the scent of Yue Qianling’s shampoo.

“I only like women.”

***

Back home, Gu Xun held the small tube of ointment and looked at it for a while, feeling a little relieved.

No matter what, she was at least willing to talk to him a bit, not as decisive as he had imagined.

He stretched his legs, relaxing them on the coffee table, tilted his head, and squeezed out some ointment.

Suddenly, he thought of something and took out his phone, opened Yue Qianling’s chat, and typed a line of words.

“How do I use this ointment? How often should I use it?”

After a moment of thought, he added another line.

“Is it guaranteed there’ll be no scars?”

After editing, he was satisfied and tapped the send button.

However, he only received a red exclamation point.
