Deep Fog Kiss

My thoughts returned to the present; it was already dark outside the window, and the streetlights had come on in the courtyard.

Gu Zhishen looked at the person on the bed. The person was holding his hand tightly with both hands and did not let go. He was sleeping much more peacefully and his complexion was better.

Jiang Li felt as if she had a very long dream, a dream in which her father and grandmother were present.

And then there's Gu Zhishen...

She seemed to be holding their hands tightly, unwilling to let go.

She woke up from her dream, her brow trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.

In dim light, the sense of smell is even more acute than sight.

She could smell a faint, cool woody scent floating in the air around her, mixed with a hint of mint.

She suddenly woke up and opened her eyes.

The surrounding light was dim, and she suddenly fell into a pair of deep, dark eyes.

With a "click," the bedside lamp turned on.

The man's impeccable facial features gradually became clearer in his field of vision.

"woke up?"

His voice was deep, clear, and pleasant to hear.

Jiang Li stared at him blankly, feeling like it was all a dream.

Gu Zhishen sat by her bedside, staring at her intently.

"High fever, stomach ache."

The man parted his thin lips slightly, a mocking smile on his face. "Jiang Li, you studied ninjutsu abroad, didn't you?"

"..." Jiang Li choked.

She felt it was unreal just now, but now it feels real.

No one but Gu Zhishen has such a sharp tongue.

Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly realized that her palms were clenched as if they were sweating slightly.

He pinched it with his fingertips and then touched it.

Broad palms, slender fingers...

Gu Zhishen gently slapped away her groping hand and withdrew it.

Jiang Li then realized that the hand she had been tightly gripping was Gu Zhishen's!

Her face flushed, and she awkwardly hid her hands under the covers.

"I had a dream, I don't know what I grabbed," she said, her voice hoarse. "Why didn't you take it away?"

"Holding so tight, can you even let go?" Gu Zhishen moved his numb right wrist, picked up the water glass and handed it to her. "You're not a child anymore, you should know your own body."

Jiang Li looked at his handsome, sculpted face. His lips, which were so hard to kiss, were so pleasant to speak. She felt resentful.

She didn't answer and turned her head away from him.

Gu Zhishen stared intently at her for a few seconds, then his voice deepened, "You didn't return to the villa last night. Where did you go?"

If you don't mention last night, everything will be fine, but once you do, Jiang Li feels wronged and angry.

She waited until late at night, but he never came to pick her up.

Now, however, she's being questioned in this elder's tone about why she didn't come home all night yesterday.

Jiang Li turned her head and asked, "Do I need to report to you where I go?"

She emphasized the word "you" very heavily, which made Gu Zhishen laugh in exasperation. She was just short of having the guts to say, "None of your business."

The thought of that photo from last night, with her wearing another man's clothes, a worthless smile on her face, and then leaving with someone else, filled him with irritation.

He sat there like a living Buddha for hours, watching over her, but he was watching over a heartless wretch.

really interesting.

He calmly glanced at her slightly flushed face, not indulging her, and placed the water glass heavily on the bedside table. "Drink the water and take your medicine."

He stood up, saying, "It hurts so much, I can't explain it to my grandma."

He finished speaking and was about to leave when Jiang Li's heart skipped a beat. She quickly called out, "Gu Zhishen."

Gu Zhishen turned his head and looked at her calmly.

Jiang Li felt a pang of sadness, but forced a smile. "If Wanqing knew you cared so much about me, she would be jealous."

Gu Zhishen chuckled lightly, his smile indifferent, as if he didn't take her words seriously.

Jiang Li felt uneasy at the thought of him going to see Yu Wanqing again and being all lovey-dovey with her.

"Gu Zhishen".

Seeing that he was about to leave, she shouted without any politeness, her voice hoarse, "I want water and I need to take my medicine."

Gu Zhishen chuckled, his eyes seeming to pierce through her. "Don't you have hands?"

"I have no energy."

Jiang Li said confidently, "If I die from the pain, you won't be able to explain it to Great-Grandma."

She struggled to sit up in bed, her bright, stubborn eyes staring straight at the man, as if she wouldn't take her medicine unless he brought her water and medicine.

Gu Zhishen stepped forward and handed her the water and medicine together.

Just as Jiang Li was about to answer, her phone rang.

She glanced at it, picked up her phone and answered, her lips curving into a smile, her voice becoming sweet.

"Initially?"

"Li, when did you go out? I was so drunk yesterday, I didn't see you when I woke up, but I found the note you left for me." Shen Nianchu asked on the other end of the phone, "It's already late, why aren't you back yet? Should I come pick you up?"

The call was quite loud. Gu Zhishen stood by the bed, glancing at Jiang Li's expression as she answered the phone. The voice on the other end of the line reached his ears clearly.

His brow twitched slightly; it was a woman.

He quickly deciphered the information from the call.

She didn't stay with that man last night; she went to a friend's house?

When my gaze fell on the girl's face again, she had already hung up the phone.

Jiang Li took the water glass and medicine box from his hand, took the medicine and drank the water. The medicine was too bitter, and she frowned slightly.

As she handed the water glass back to the man, she smiled sweetly, "How thoughtful of you, does Sister Wanqing know?"

Gu Zhishen put down his water glass with a faint smile on his lips. "Looks like you're better."

Just as Jiang Li was about to say something, a tall figure suddenly loomed over her.

Her breath hitched as the pleasant fragrance lingered around her nose.

The next second, a warm hand covered her forehead.

Jiang Li looked up and met those calm, unwavering eyes.

The man's handsome face was so close, and his loose tie swayed gently with his movements, making her heart race.

"The fever has subsided, and my speech is clear again."

Gu Zhishen chuckled softly and withdrew his hand.

The next second, a force grabbed his tie and pulled him down.

Gu Zhishen quickly propped himself up on the headboard of her bed. In his arms, the girl tugged at his tie and raised her head, her pert nose rubbing against his high, straight nose.

Jiang Li smiled gently, "It's even easier to kiss now."

Her voice was soft and gentle, mingling with the man's breath, and her cheeks felt slightly warm.

Gu Zhishen didn't dodge; his deep eyes were fixed on her disorderly expression.

Jiang Li leaned forward slightly, her soft lips brushing against the corner of his lips.

She tilted her head and placed a passionate kiss on his Adam's apple.
