Aromatic Flesh

It would seem that Xiao JingLin’s protagonist’s halo was still above average, as there were no serious lingering issues after he was sent to the hospital. Of course, a few days of hospitalization was inevitable, and so the task of investigating the assassination fell onto the lap of his two bodyguards.

After having a discussion with Shang Ren, it was decided that Shang Ren should lead the investigation, while Gu MingYue, as the only woman around Xiao JingLin, would stay behind to take care of the Young Master.

Xiao JingLin’s strained body needed a lot of rest, so while the man was sleeping, Gu MingYue instructed the other subordinates to guard the ward before leaving to purchase some items.

In the few days before the original heroine would finally appear, she would make good use of this time period and craft it into a stage for her performance.

Hence, after being asleep for the entire day, Xiao JingLin woke up to the woman in front of the hospital bed who looked as serene as an angel. Her body frame blocked the warm golden sunbeam, causing the warm glow to trail an outline around her.

At this moment, Gu MingYue had her head slightly lowered as she peeled an apple earnestly with a sharp knife. The corner of her lips curved up in a faint smile, and her graceful posture could constitute an oil painting.

Instantly, a phase flashed through Xiao JingLin’s mind, and he thought it was extremely suitable to describe his current mood after seeing Gu MingYue.

The years are quiet and tranquil.

However, though Gu MingYue’s actions seemed as if she was trying to please the man, her attitude did not seem humble at all. She peeled the apple with a natural look and cut it into bite-sized cubes, before casting a light glance at the man who was staring at her, “Young Master, there’s something in the corner of your eye.”

Her words caused the atmosphere to dissipate in an instant, and Xiao JingLin was thrown back into reality within half a second.

He wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hands embarrassedly, while the little sensitive boy in his heart shed two long tears.

How can he ever hope to regain his dignity after numerous repeated embarrassments?! In fact, he was even beginning to feel a lack of confidence in giving her orders!

Gu MingYue’s face stayed expressionless and serious, but she was actually rolling with laughter deep within her heart. She handed the man a glass of plain water, then silently got up and walked into the ward bathroom. When she returned, she held a soft towel soaked in warm water and a plastic cup filled with a light blue liquid.

While Xiao JingLin was still in a state of denial and did not wish to face reality, he suddenly felt a warm and wet touch on his face, before realizing that the woman in front of him was cleaning his face gently with a wet towel.

“Young Master, are you hungry? This subordinate bought some easy-to-digest food a while ago, which you can eat after cleaning your mouth with the mouthwash.”

It turned out that the light blue liquid contained in the disposable plastic cup was mouthwash, and Xiao JingLin’s eyes brightened up as he expressed his full affirmation of Gu MingYue’s thoughtfulness.

As the saying goes, once a woman loses her body, she loses her heart! His bodyguard had never been so considerate before, and her actions now confirmed the old saying.

Even if something so humiliating had happened in the warehouse, it would seem that it had not damaged his masculine charm, and he still had the capital to make women fawn over him!

Of course, if Gu MingYue knew of Xiao JingLin’s thoughts, she would definitely retort with a serious – ‘Young Master’s self-confidence puts everyone on earth to shame.’

Meanwhile, Xiao JingLin was enjoying the woman’s care contently. Under the care of Gu MingYue, he simply had to take care of his personal hygiene and eat the chicken porridge that the woman bought from the outside.

Sure enough, his shrivelled stomach felt warm and comfortable as soon as he consumed the food, and Xiao JingLin felt so contented that he could not help but breathed out a sigh of relief.

Gu MingYue sat quietly as she watched the man eat. Although the woman’s demeanour was normal, to the point that not even her eyebrows twitched, Xiao JingLin still felt a strange sense of unease, similar to that of a livestock that was to be slaughtered after being fattened in autumn.

He stiffened his nerves and finished the porridge quickly, and proceeded to reach out for the plate filled with peeled and evenly cut apples, only to realize that the plate was nowhere in sight. Xiao JingLin’s gaze shifted to the woman’s lap, where the fruit plate was firmly placed, and he gulped silently as he watched the toothpick held elegantly between her slender fingers poke through an apple cube before moving towards her slightly opened lips.

That apple… Wasn’t it for him…? Did he… overestimate his charms?

This world was too cruel! Xiao JingLin was sure that the woman had noticed his stupid way of looking for the fruit plate moments ago.

In fact, Xiao JingLin felt like his luck had been horrible recently. He was first assassinated, then after successfully dating a girl that he was fond of, things didn’t go well, and they entered a couple’s cold war quickly. The same bad luck seemed to follow him after that, as he was attacked once again after such a short period of time, and this time, he was injured with a gunshot wound!
