Qin Zhi'ai was yelled at by him and couldn't help but let out a muffled groan of pain. After a while, she reached out her hand, pulled on Gu Yu Sheng's sleeve, and then, enduring the intense pain, said in a low voice: "No need to go to the hospital, I can just go home... it's just my period... dysmenorrhea."
Still somewhat shy, those last few words were spoken in a pitifully small voice.
Gu Yu didn't hear clearly, "Huh?" and leaned his head towards Qin Zhi'ai's lips.
Because of the large amplitude, his earlobe touched her lips.
A surge of electricity ran through his and her entire body in an instant. Gu Yu Sheng's body stiffened for a moment, but he kept the expression on his face steady, unmoving.
Qin Zhi's face turned red, and she slightly pulled her lips back, looking down with a hint of shyness, softly repeating the last two words she had just said: "Tòng jīng."
Gu Yu said "oh" and after a while, seemed to have understood, then made another "hmm" sound, slightly nodded his head, and withdrew it back.
He was just about to bend down and hug her, when he suddenly remembered that when he went upstairs to pick her up, he had turned in the bill for the suite at the front desk and found an extra charge. He abruptly turned his head and stared into Qin Zhi'ai's eyes: "Did you come while staying in the suite?"
"Huh?" Qin Zhi'ai first looked at Gu Yu Sheng in surprise, then lowered her eyelids and nodded slightly, softly saying "Mm".
So... she was already uncomfortable in the suite? In other words, she had been accompanying him to social events for so long, looking like nothing was wrong, but actually she had been suffering all along?
Gu Yu Sheng stared at Qin Zhi Ai's brow, furrowed his eyebrows tightly, and suddenly spoke out: "Why didn't you tell me?"
Why didn't you tell him? He said not to bother her... Qin Zhi Ai didn't know how to respond, so she just randomly "uh-huh"ed.
Huh? What kind of answer is this? Gu Yu Sheng's eyebrows furrowed even more intensely.
He suddenly remembered that when he found her in the banquet hall, she was surrounded by people in the middle of the scene.
Was she feeling unwell at that time? That's why she stood there motionless, letting people pour wine on her and slap her, without even dodging?
Isn't he in the banquet hall? She can call him, she can also shout for help...... Just like she's suffering so much, she can tell him and stay in the suite to rest...... She told him to go to the bathroom, but actually she was feeling unwell and couldn't hold on, hiding alone on the small balcony?
In Gu Yu's heart, a surge of unspeakable anxiety suddenly arose, and he felt more uncomfortable than when he saw her being bullied by Yu Sha Li just now. His breathing became somewhat rapid, and after looking around in both directions, he stared into her eyes and asked again in an irritable tone: "I'm asking you again, aren't I? Uncomfortable, why didn't you tell me!"
Qin Zhi'ai instinctively took a step back, but Gu Yu Sheng suddenly reached out and pinched her chin, lifting it up: "Lost your voice?"
