Back Then, I Adored You

“Did I tell you to call a doctor? Since when do you make the decisions in this house?” As Gu Yusheng scolded the housekeeper, the master bedroom door was suddenly pulled open.

He immediately stopped yelling at the housekeeper and turned to look at the master bedroom door.

Qin Zhi’ai was still in the pajamas that she had worn when she ran away from the house. She stood at the door in bare feet. Her hand rested on the doorknob.

As he turned to look in her direction, she moved a half step back and slightly closed the door out of instinct. She said, “I asked the housekeeper to call Dr. Luo.”

Could she have asked the housekeeper to call? Gu Yusheng thought to himself.

Gu Yusheng frowned hard at Qin Zhi’ai.

The anger at the housekeeper still lingered on his face. The frown made him look even more gloomy. Qin Zhi’ai unconsciously thought he would transfer the anger from the housekeeper to her. She immediately closed the door a little more until only her small face showed between the gap. She didn’t talk until she had swallowed her saliva.

“Your wound could get infected, even it was treated with medicine. You’d better have Dr. Luo check it for you.”

She talked fast without taking any breaths. She closed more of the door as she talked. When she finished, only her big and dark eyes could be seen through the crack. She stared at him and added, “Insurance.” After saying this, she closed the door.

The hallway went quiet again.

Gu Yusheng stared at the master bedroom door for a while before he could recover.

Dr. Luo quietly gave the housekeeper a look. The housekeeper plucked up her courage and asked, “Mr. Gu?”

Gu Yusheng answered with a low pitch. “Yeah?” His eyes were still fixed on the master bedroom door.

The housekeeper wasn’t sure if the peaceful look on his face was real or just his anger disguised. She said carefully, “Dr. Luo is waiting for you.”

Gu Yusheng answered with an okay and looked away from the master bedroom door. He took a look at the housekeeper and Dr. Luo and said calmly, “Come on in.” He turned to walk into the guest room first.

Does that mean he’s allowing Dr. Luo to take a look at his wound? the housekeeper thought to herself.

The housekeeper and Dr. Luo exchanged looks and walked one after the other into the guest room.

Dr. Luo didn’t say anything until he took a look at Gu Yusheng’s wound. “Mr. Gu, your wound is a little deep and needs a few stitches.”

Gu Yusheng answered with a calm look, “Yes.” Then he added, “Okay.”

“Do you want me to give you any anesthetics?” Dr. Luo asked with a compromising tone.

“No, you can do it without,” Gu Yusheng answered casually and laid himself on the bed.

No one would argue with him, since it was already wonderful that he was willing to have anyone look at his wound.

Dr. Luo immediately opened his medical box and got ready when he saw Gu Yusheng laying down.

Before he did any stitching on Gu Yusheng, Dr. Luo said, “Mr. Gu, let me know if it hurts. I can give you a shot of anesthesia.”

Gu Yusheng didn’t respond to Dr. Luo, only stared at the bright sunlight outside of the window. He hadn’t expected Qin Zhi’ai to tell him she had called Dr. Luo after she opened the door. Thinking of the timid look on her face, he couldn’t help the corners of his mouth curling up.

Dr. Luo started to stitch the wound. The housekeeper felt hurt just by watching it. She couldn’t continue to look and had to move her eyes away. Surprisingly, she saw the gentle smile on Gu Yusheng and was shocked. She thought to herself, What happened to Mr. Gu. Shouldn’t people cry while getting stitches? Why is he smiling? This isn’t right.
