I RELY ON BREASTFEEDING TO STABILISE THE DISEASE (52)
52. HIS SMILE BLOOMED LIKE A NIGHT FLOWER
When Chu Ran saw Gu Qianyu again, his face was stained, leaving several traces of red blood, the outer robe on his body was also torn in several places, and the jade crown of his hair was casually discarded on the edge of the table. His hair were scattered like willow springs, and the whole person seemed to be surrounded by a layer of cold damp mist, setting off the extremely clear eyes.
"You?"
"No thanks to Gu Xian. But he would have never expected that I would escape, and instead took you away. He thought I would not be able to find out the route you took." Gu Qianyu wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Chu Ran was abducted by Gu Qianyu to a remote village and the guards who followed her were also killed by Gu Qianyu.
On the surface, Chu Ran tried to maintain her composure, and silently observed Gu Qianyu's movements.
Sensing the dangerous atmosphere, Chu Ran couldn't help shivering.
Gu Qianyu completely lost his patience, his eyes froze, and his tone became gloomy: "Come here!"
Chu Ran was startled. Was this asking her to treat his wounds? Having no backbone, she walked towards him quickly.
Gu Qianyu did not only suffer injuries to his hands. It was only then that she realized that there were also many wounds on his body. The blood that drew out was reflected on the cyan robe, leaving only a dark red mark.
She quickly applied medicine on his hands. She frowned, and looked at the injury on his body, and said hesitantly: "This wounds on your body, how about you find someone..."
Before she could finish her words, Gu Qianyu stretched out his uninjured and the wide sleeve fell down on his hand. Chu Ran looked over subconsciously. That hand was flawless like carved jade. The slender fingers gently hooked on the belt, and the already loose robe was already fell down, revealing the snow-white undergarment inside...
Feeling nervous for some reason, she held her breath and watched.
His fingertips moved, and all his clothes fell on the floor, revealing his naked upper body.
Chu Ran saw the wounds on his body, and her pupils constricted violently. His body was covered with scars, large and small interlaced wounds. They were basically old wounds that have scabbed for a long time and on top of those hideous scars, there were newly added wounds. The edges of which were still permeated with fresh blood, it should have been freshly left.
The new wounds were overlapping the old ones, covering almost the entire upper half of his body. Who could have injured a royal son like this? She opened her eyes wide in disbelief, and her hand holding the medicine froze in mid-air.
"Scared?"
When he was a child, as long as his Mufei couldn't win favor with his father, she would take it out on him and would use him to vent her anger. She would pinch him all over his body, and would give him a severe beating. When he grew older, his Mufei would demand that he always sought the favor of his father emperor. And he had to win in every category, and was compared to the other princes. If he was not as good as his Mufei's wishes, she would stab her with her golden hairpin.
(母妃, Mǔ fēi. Mother concubine. The emperor's offspring born to his concubines, refers to their biological mothers as Mother concubine and the Empress as mother queen. read more )
He felt that he was just a tool used by his Mufei to fight for favor, and he could not feel the so-called warm maternal love at all. Over time, his heart distorted. Sometimes he would take a knife and cut his skin for a moment, but the pain made him feel great pleasure.
Gu Qianyu tilted his head to look at her face, and said vaguely: "I always thought that Gu Xian was the same person as me. We have never loved anyone since we were young, and we will not love anyone. We live alone in this world. However, he met you, but all this should have been mine..."
Chu Ran was so shocked by the terrifying scars that she forgot the fact that she was scared of him for a while. She tried to moved as gently and cautiously as possible. She concentrated on wiping the blood away from the wounds for him. She didn't pay attention to what he had said just now.
A gleam of light leaped into the room through the window lattice and shone on her plain face. He watched her biting her lower lip tightly, as if she could feel the pain of those wounds.
His gaze suddenly became deep, he watched her side face quietly and motionlessly.
The room was quiet, and the faint sandalwood scent filled the air.
Without noticing Gu Qianyu's deep gaze, Chu Ran carefully cleaned the wound for him, then sprinkled the medicine powder on it to stop the bleeding and for healing one by one, and then carefully bandaged it. From the beginning to end, Gu Qianyu didn't have any reaction, he didn't even scrunched his brows.
After treating the wounds, Gu Qianyu put on his clothes in an orderly manner.
Chu Ran pursed her lips, and couldn't help but say, "It's better not to touch the water directly with your wound for a few days." After saying that, seeing his body swaying slightly, she subconsciously went to help.
Looking down at the little hands on his arms, Gu Qianyu was stunned: "Did you really forget everything?"
When it came to this matter, Chu Ran got a headache. Immediately taking back her hands won't work, not removing also didn't work. So she grabbed his sleeves in a stalemate.
"I... I forgot." She really didn't know what kind of relationship the original owner had with Gu Qianyu.
"But... if you forgot, then forget it, as if I am interested in the present you now." He changed his words and his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.
Chu Ran was speechless, not knowing how to speak.
A cold hand suddenly pinched her chin, forcing her to raise her head. A pair of black phoenix eyes similar to Gu Xian quietly stared at her for a long time, and Gu Qianyu suddenly curled his lips and smiled: "Follow me back, I will treat you well like Gu Xian."
Chu Ran was a little surprised.
At this moment, the smile on his lips was light and shallow, like the blossom of night blooming cereus, extremely beautiful.
She stared at his face blankly, Gu Qianyu slowly leaned closer...
