Huo Weiwu was speechless.

“Aren’t you afraid that I might snore, grind my teeth, sleepwalk, or hit people in my sleep?” Huo Weiwu teased him.

“I’ll only know after I sleep with you. You can give it your best shot. Come here,” commanded Gu Haoting.

“I’m not tired yet,” Huo Weiwu said peevishly.

Gu Haoting’s eyes grew colder. They were as bright as a torchlight. “I can help if you want to do some exercise before bed.”

Huo Weiwu stretched lazily and yawned a couple of times. She cracked her neck and then climbed into bed. Without changing her expression, she said, “I’m suddenly feeling sleepy.”

Gu Haoting was speechless.

He raised the blanket and pulled it around her. Then, he laid down beside her and turned onto his side so that he was facing her.

Huo Weiwu shut her eyes. She could feel his breath fanning across her face, and it felt like the entire room was filled with his aura, settling over every inch of her.


His arm slid beneath her neck as he placed his left hand on her waist.

The two of them were too close to each other.

She had never imagined herself sharing a bed with Gu Haoting. It felt too intimate—in fact, the atmosphere felt like a fire-breathing dragon that could swallow her whole anytime.

“It’s too warm,” said Huo Weiwu as she pushed Gu Haoting’s hand away. She then turned around and slept with her back to Gu Haoting.

Gu Haoting knitted his sharp eyebrows. He rose to lower the temperature on the air-conditioner, then he got back in bed and continued to face her. He gripped her waist and shifted a few centimeters closer to her.

Huo Weiwu’s back was pressed against his body now.

She could feel a certain body part very distinctly.

Huo Weiwu twisted her hips in protest. However, he only held her tighter. His arm was so strong, and his muscles were exceptionally defined.

“I need to go to the bathroom, please let go of me,” Huo Weiwu protested.

“You’re so troublesome,” replied Gu Haoting in a deep voice. He pulled the blanket off her and scooped her into his arms. He only let her down when they were in the bathroom.

Huo Weiwu stood there awkwardly. However, Gu Haoting refused to leave.

“Aren’t you going to use the toilet?” Gu Haoting questioned her with a hint of impatience.

Huo Weiwu felt frustrated as she realized that he wouldn’t leave.

In any case, it wasn’t her first time using the toilet in front of him. Hence, she decided to harden her determination. She sat down, then ripped her sanitary pad off and threw it into the trash can.

Gu Haoting frowned. “Why is there so much blood?”

Huo Weiwu snorted. “The amount of blood isn’t the strange thing here. The strange thing is how I’m still alive despite bleeding so much on a monthly basis.”

Gu Haoting narrowed his cold eyes. He said in a low voice, “Pick your words wisely.”

Huo Weiwu stopped speaking. She wiped herself and stuck a new sanitary pad on her underwear.

“I’ll have Auntie Long prepare some health supplements for you tomorrow, so that you don’t grow weaker because of this,” said Gu Haoting in a gentler tone.

Huo Weiwu stood up and pursed her lips. “You’ll only pity me when I grow weaker.”

“You think I’ll pity you?” Gu Haoting snorted coldly, as though he had just heard an amusing joke.

He scooped Huo Weiwu into his arms again.


Huo Weiwu felt uncomfortable because of his words.

“Is he mocking me? Is he?” she thought. “Why wouldn’t he pity me? Does he think that I’m too much like a tomboy and lack femininity?”

Inexplicably, Huo Weiwu bit down on his shoulder. Her sharp teeth penetrated the thin top he was wearing and met his supple skin.

Gu Haoting’s face remained cold. He carried her back to the bed without a word.

It was only then that Huo Weiwu released him. Her mouth was filled with the taste of his blood.

She was the first woman who had ever inflicted any injury on him.

Gu Haoting grabbed her chin and kissed her lips in a disciplinary manner, making her breathless.

Huo Weiwu was feeling rather testy. Her pet peeve was when people told her that she lacked femininity.

“Do I really lack femininity?” she wondered.

She shut her eyes as she pulled herself closer to Gu Haoting, gripping his shirt tightly. And for the first time ever, she kissed him back. With a hint of resentment, she sucked his tongue into her mouth.
