The Rest of My Life

When I came back to myself, Zhou Xun came in with some food.

I immediately suppressed my emotions.

He sat down on the edge of the bed and gently touched the corner of my eye.

I started.

He might have been too depressed just now, but he had started crying unknowingly.

I quickly wiped my eyes.

He frowned slightly and asked, "Are you not feeling well?"

He was about to pull up the quilt for me to examine.

I immediately shook my head and changed the topic. "I … "I'm hungry …"

He stared at me for a few seconds, then brought a bowl of soup to my mouth and said, "Then let's eat first."

I looked at him almost obsessively.

He had slender fingers, a handsome face, and an unspeakably gentle demeanor.

There's nothing I don't like.

But I can't let myself go down. I can only tell myself over and over that he can't possibly like me, that he is only so kind to me now because … We just had a relationship...

In this way, I was able to slow down my emotions, but I couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

To keep him from noticing, I drank the soup and ate another bowl of rice.

He seemed satisfied and wiped the corner of his mouth. "Good girl."

I whispered, "You …" Have you eaten? "

He dabbed his fingers with a napkin and smiled at me. "I'll feed you first, of course."

I purposely ignored the ambiguity in his words and stammered, "Actually... "Just ask Aunt Ning to send it up …"

His gaze swept across me. "I don't want anyone to see your current appearance, not even Aunt Ning."

This sounded a little strange, but when I looked down, I found that most of my body was exposed …

Only then did I remember that after he went out, I was so busy daydreaming that I forgot to put on my clothes … I quickly tucked myself into the quilt.

He chuckled and leaned over to kiss my forehead. "You've done too much today. Your body can't take it. Rest well."

Too Much...

Did he say he was physically fit?

I remembered how many times I had been tossed and turned by him, and suddenly I felt like my head was smoking.

However … The medicine was indeed cured …

Zhou Xun and his companion were carried in my arms as they asked softly, "Do you want me to apply medicine on you?"

I didn't know what to do.

His warm palm was already under the covers, resting on my waist, still sliding down.

I quivered and immediately understood. I could not help but anxiously say, "No …" No need... I'll do it myself! "

The corner of his lips curled up as he retracted his hand. "The medicine is on the bedside table. You must wipe it."

I covered my entire body with the blanket and didn't dare to make a sound.

As the sound of his footsteps faded and the door closed, I dared to crawl out of bed.

I turned to the bedside table. There was indeed a small ointment on it.

that should be used to apply to the wound...

My entire face was burning hot. I hurriedly picked it up and applied medicine on myself. During this time, I was still afraid that Zhou Xun would barge in. My heart was trembling with fear.

When it was finally done, I heaved a sigh of relief, pulled on my pajamas, and ran to the bathroom to wash my hands.

Just as he got off the bed and put on his shoes, he felt his waist go soft.

Although he had just eaten something to replenish his energy, Zhou Xun's constant ruckus throughout the entire day was truly unbearable.

I wonder how his health is so good …

However, he would go for a run every morning and exercise frequently, so it was no wonder that his stamina was so astonishing.

I put my hands on my hips and walked slowly to the bathroom.

After washing my hands, I looked up at myself in the mirror and was stunned.

In the mirror, my face was flushed, my mouth was red and swollen, and my exposed skin was full of red marks …

All these signs were a reminder of how intense it had been.

My head began to explode again.

After washing my face with cold water several times, I finally felt calmer.

When he came out of the bathroom, Zhou Xun had just returned to his room.

He stood in the doorway and looked at me for about two seconds. Then he strode forward and picked me up and said, "You can still get out of the bed. It seems that I didn't do enough."

I put my arms around his neck and banged my head against his chest to protest.

Just now, I was barely able to walk to the bathroom, and I even rested a few times in the middle …

How is this not enough? It's too … Too much!

He could see my resentment, too, and his lips curled up and he kissed me on the cheek.

I lost all my temper.

Actually, there was a shallow scar on my left cheek. I didn't know how he managed to swallow it.

He tucked me into bed, looked at the ointment on the bedside table, and chuckled. "Good boy."

Embarrassed and embarrassed, I buried my face in his arms.

He took off his shoes and went to bed. He hugged me and said in a low voice, "Tell me if you're not feeling well."

Her tone was gentle. There was no teasing, no lust, only deep concern.

My whole heart was sore and soft, as if it had been ironed.

He kissed me on the forehead and said, "Sleep."

I looked at the tip of his nose, and my heart started thumping again.

Not to mention that he had slept for a long time during the day, so he wasn't sleepy at all.

He pinched my nose. "Baby, if you can't sleep, we'll do something else."

My eyes widened.

If I didn't understand this before, I naturally understood what he meant after today.

His hand was on my waist.

I was so scared that I immediately hugged him tightly and muttered, "I … I'm asleep! "

He pressed his chin against the top of my hair and chuckled. "That's good."

Afterwards, he kissed me on the waist to relieve my pain, occasionally kissing my forehead to coax me to sleep.

Perhaps it was because his embrace was so comfortable that I fell asleep without realizing it.

A dreamless night.

When he woke up the next day, it was only slightly bright outside.

Zhou Xun was fast asleep.

I looked at him in the dim light outside the window.

I couldn't see his bright eyes, but he had a handsome face, a straight nose, and the corners of his mouth curved into a natural curve. It was as if he had been dreaming.

I couldn't resist leaning forward and kissing his lips.

He didn't wake, but in his sleep he tightened his arms around me.

Not daring to move, I pressed myself against his firm chest, listening to his steady heartbeat, thinking, If only I could always be like this.

I was probably the happiest person in the world to wake up in his arms every day.

Unfortunately, I also knew that all of this was just my imagination.

I realized that I was greedy and quickly withdrew my thoughts.

It was already midsummer, the morning was early, and the sun was rising early. The faint yellow morning sunlight was already shining in from outside.

I gently closed my eyes, curled up in Zhou Xun's warm arms, and went back to sleep.

When he woke up again, it was already ten in the morning. The sun was shining brightly.

Zhou Xun was not in his room.

My heart is lost.

After a while, I struggled to sit up.

His body was still sore and soft, but it was much better than yesterday.

I was about to pour myself a glass of water when I turned around to find a note on the counter. I picked it up and saw several words written on it.

When I get back, we'll have lunch.

This should be left to me by Zhou Xun.

The handwriting was bold and free, and there was a kind of restraint in it, like the feeling Zhou Xun gave me.

Holding the note, my mood immediately brightened.

It just so happened that there was a knock on the door. I quickly grabbed the paper in my hand and tidied up my appearance.

Aunt Ning came in with two bowls and smiled. "Sir told me to call for you at ten o'clock. He said I can't let you sleep too much, lest you lose sleep at night."

I had long experienced Zhou Xun's meticulous care, so I was not surprised.

However, he still felt somewhat sweet in his heart.

Aunt Ning placed the bowl on the bedside and said, "This is what mister instructed me to make a stew to nourish your body."

I looked at the bowl. It was a bird's nest, something my mother used to eat.

The other bowl looked dark and smelly, and I couldn't make out what it was.

Aunt Ning smiled. "They're all good things. Eating them is good for a woman's health."

I was stunned for a moment, and then my whole face burned.

Aunt Ning and the others … You should know about me and Zhou Xun, right?

This was too embarrassing …

Fortunately, Aunt Ning didn't say anything. She just watched me finish eating and packed up my things before leaving.

After that, I sat on the bed for a while, thinking, then got up and opened the balcony door.

The oncoming heat wave made me uncomfortable.

I hurried back into the room.

The air conditioner and humidifier were on in the room, and the windows were ajar. The temperature was just right, but it was unbearably hot outside.

The flowers were in the south, and it was always hot in the middle of summer.

I sat on the couch by the French window and watched the quiet, bright view of the yard.

Although my head wasn't clear after being drugged, I hadn't forgotten what happened yesterday.

Yesterday morning, it was Shen Zixian who called me out.

So, is Shen Zixian and Gu Qiong colluding?

And Su Yan, what role did he play in it?

He forced me to print my hand on the transfer agreement. What would he do next?

Finally, Gudgeon, I vaguely remember, was taken into custody after Zhou Xun saved me.

Then where was she locked up now?

After slightly organizing his thoughts, he realized that there were too many problems.

But last night, I was too shy to confirm these things with Zhou Xun …

I reminded myself that I would have to discuss this with Zhou Xun later.

Just like that, I thought wildly, it would soon be noon.

Indeed, Zhou Xun had appeared.

It wasn't until he knocked on the door that I came back to myself.

He leaned against the door frame and smiled at me.

I looked at him.

He was wearing a T-shirt and jeans, and he looked very different from his usual suit and shoes. When he wore a suit, he looked elegant and luxurious, but now that he was wearing casual clothes, he looked like a teenager.

Sunlight hit his handsome face, and I couldn't take my eyes off it.

I couldn't help but smile at him.

His voice was soft. "Are you feeling better?"

I nodded.

He smiled slightly, "Aunt Ning has prepared a meal. Do you want to go down and eat, or do you want me to help you bring it up?"

I hastily stood up and said, "Let's go down to eat …"

He didn't say anything more, just watched me approach.

I had a strange feeling that he was different from yesterday.

It wasn't until I stopped in front of him and he leaned over to let me go first that I understood.

Yesterday he was full of affection for me, though he was not very decent.

Just now, he took the initiative to avoid me. Not only did he not touch me, he even kept a distance from me.

He's … Do you regret it?
