Chapter 318: Chapter 317 Who Are You Exactly (17)
If Gu Ningyi falls and injures his eyes, then she’ll truly be responsible!
Fortunately, her bed wasn’t far from him, so before Gu Ningyi fell, she reached out and grabbed his arm. However, she miscalculated the disparity in strength between herself and Gu Ningyi. She intended to steady him, but his tall body fell on her, causing her to fall forward uncontrollably.
The next second, the two of them fell to the ground together, and Gu Ningyi ended up pressing on top of her. Dong Xinyan was nearly out of breath, her delicate face wrinkling in discomfort.
If she hadn’t clenched her teeth at the last moment, she probably wouldn’t have been able to hold back a cry of pain.
Dong Xinyan lay on the floor in a daze, taking a few light breaths. Once she somewhat recovered, she raised her hand to push Gu Ningyi off and get up. But when her hand pressed against his chest to push him, he didn’t get up. Instead, he suddenly reached out, touching her face tentatively.
Dong Xinyan was slightly surprised, and then a flash of fear quickly passed through her eyes. She turned her face aside to avoid his hand, and then with a burst of strength, she pushed Gu Ningyi off her.
Gu Ningyi, caught off guard, was pushed to the side. Dong Xinyan quickly got up and instinctively backed two steps away, keeping her distance from him. Gu Ningyi still sat on the ground, but his expression, usually calm and indifferent, seemed tinged with some confusion. His dark eyes lifted slightly, assessing her position, and he looked over at her.
The gaze Gu Ningyi cast towards her sent a chill down Dong Xinyan’s spine. Even though he couldn’t see, she still felt a fearful tremor, afraid he would recognize her.
Gu Ningyi’s brows slowly knitted together.
In these past few days, although he and this nurse were in the same room, he almost acted as if she didn’t exist. He kept her around just to ease Yuan Shen’s mind. And this nurse, as Yuan Shen described, was very quiet, did everything lightly, and didn’t harass him unnecessarily, so he gradually ignored her.
So when he was about to fall earlier, he truly didn’t expect someone to suddenly come forward and catch him. At that moment, it took his brain a few seconds to remember that it was the nurse aunt.
However, she wasn’t able to hold him; they both fell to the floor. And he didn’t fall onto the hard ground, but onto a very soft body.
He always resisted physical contact, especially with the opposite sex, even if it was an aunt. So he still instinctively felt a trace of aversion, and he pressed his hand against the ground to get up.
However, as he lifted his head, his lips inadvertently brushed against her cheek, soft and elastic skin, very smooth.
Such skin didn’t quite resemble that of an aunt-level woman, and... her scent, so familiar, just like...
His hand trembled slightly and uncontrollably raised, wanting to touch that woman’s face, wanting to confirm what he was thinking, but it was pushed away.
As she got up and moved away, the familiar feeling quickly disappeared, as if just now... was merely an illusion.
But was it really just an illusion?
It seemed so real...
Gu Ningyi’s dark and somber eyes fixedly stared at Dong Xinyan for a while before he slowly moved his lips, hesitating, trembling, and spoke up, "You..."
Dong Xinyan’s heart was already pounding nervously under Gu Ningyi’s gaze, and now that he spoke, her heart suddenly hung in suspense.
