With her sleeve rolled up, the crook of Gu Man’s fair arm was exposed to the air. There were purple wounds on it and blood kept flowing out. It looked a little terrifying.
Xiang Yin frowned the entire time he treated the wound, but his movements were exceptionally light, almost making Gu Man not feel any pain.
She looked down and could see Xiang Yin staring at the wound seriously. His eyelashes fluttered and trembled slightly. His skin was so smooth that even women would be jealous.
The two of them seemed to be a little close. Just this alone allowed them to feel their breaths intertwined.
While Gu Man was stunned, she did not realize that Xiang Yin had suddenly raised his head. The moment their gazes met, her heart subconsciously beat faster.
She turned her head. A breeze blew across her face, slightly weakening the heat in the air.
Xiang Yin suppressed the smile on his lips and pretended to be nonchalant. “Why were you so careless?”
“I didn’t notice.” Gu Man still tilted her head and looked elsewhere, her voice a little gentle.
Xiang Yin stared at Gu Man’s side profile for a long time. Then, he lowered his head and carefully treated the wound on his arm.
The room was exceptionally quiet. Even a pin drop could be heard clearly.
Her breathing became especially obvious. From the beginning, it was as light as a feather that swept through one’s heart, to the end, it gradually smashed into one’s heart.
The wound had clearly been treated, but Xiang Yin’s hand was still holding Gu Man’s arm, as if he had forgotten to let go.
Time passed by minute by minute. The air was extremely quiet.
Xiang Yin’s hoarse voice broke the silence. “Next time, be careful. Don’t let yourself be injured again. I…”
Her voice paused for a moment. Then, Xiang Yin stared at Gu Man, his eyes burning. “I’ll be very worried.”
Gu Man met that passionate gaze and was instantly scalded to the point where she subconsciously deviated. She coughed softly and broke free from Xiang Yin’s hand. She lowered her sleeve and covered the bandaged wound. “It’s just a small injury.”
However, Xiang Yin stubbornly held Gu Man’s wrist again. “No, I’ll be worried no matter how small the wound is.”
After their gazes met for a long time, Gu Man finally lost. She sighed slightly and compromised, “Alright, I’ll be careful next time.”
Xiang Yin knew that he did not have a good impression of Gu Man’s family. After sending Gu Man to the door, he left. Gu Man was about to knock on the door when she suddenly had the thought of turning around.
She did indeed do so. She saw the person behind her standing not far away and staring at her back.
Because Gu Man suddenly turned around, Xiang Yin was caught off guard. He subconsciously wanted to cover up his peeping, but it made him look even more flustered.
Gu Man smiled and turned around. She knocked on the door in front of her.
It was Grandma who opened the door. She looked at Gu Man and smiled. “Manman, did you write my number for Huang Jue’s exam?”
Gu Man nodded and walked into the hall. The door closed at the same time.
“Did Miss Zhuang call you?”
“That’s right.” Grandma looked a little excited. “Teacher Zhuang asked Huang Jue to go to school for the exam tomorrow. Manman, do you think he can pass?”
Grandma’s voice was trembling and she looked nervous as she carefully observed Gu Man’s expression.
Gu Man placed her hands on her grandmother’s back and comforted her gently. “Grandma, don’t you know Huang Jue’s strength? We just have to believe him.”
Grandma heaved a sigh of relief, but the worry in her eyes did not diminish. “Sigh, if he can successfully get into Han City First High School, I’ll be completely relieved.”
“He can definitely do it.” Gu Man was quite confident in her tutoring ability. Moreover, she had seen the test papers for Huang Jue’s exam last time. The overall situation was not bad. It was more than enough for her to get into Han City First High School. She just did not know if he could make it to Class One.
“Uncle isn’t at home today?” Gu Man sized up the hall and frowned when she didn’t see Huang Jun.
“Him? He just went downstairs to buy some vegetables. He’s not at work. Don’t worry.” Grandma looked at the balcony. It was already dark outside, but Huang Jun had yet to return. Grandma couldn’t help but complain, “He’s just buying vegetables. Is there a need to waste so much time?”
However, Gu Man’s heart skipped a beat because of her grandmother’s words. She also followed her grandmother’s gaze and looked at the pitch-black night..
