Chapter 140
In the hospital room.
Shang Xi sat on the sofa, chatting with Zhou Ziyou on the phone. It was starting to get cold in Qingcheng in October. She was wearing a thin white-purple knitted sweater, a small V-neck, and white loose casual wide-leg pants.
She had her hair down, and from Gu Wen's angle, he could see her side profile and her slightly pointed chin.
Gu Wen wanted so much to hold her in his embrace, to bury his head in her soft sweater and inhale the faint floral scent on her, which was strange since she hadn't been to a flower shop lately, yet he could still smell the floral aroma on her.
The hospital room was clean, bright, and warm.
He listened quietly to Shang Xi's voice.
"You exchanged contact information, went out for a meal, and he sent you home? If you're reasonably satisfied with him, you could give it a try."
Shang Xi laughed: "I hope this guy is the right one. Our Ziyou has been wanting to get out of being single for a long time."
On the other end of the phone, Zhou Ziyou snorted: "Now that you have Mister Gu, you're different. You reek of the sour smell of love."
Shang Xi paused, first turning to look at Gu Wen lying on the hospital bed, his eyes closed as he slept.
She lowered her voice, feeling a bit uncomfortable: "Do I? I've always spoken like this, haven't I?"
"Not at all, your voice has a tinge of sweetness, sounding more energetic and lively than usual!" Zhou Ziyou giggled on the other end: "Oh my, a woman nurtured by love~~ I don't even want to imagine what shameful things you two do every day in the grown-up world."
Shang Xi pursed her lips and cleared her throat lightly: "Speaking of me, you'll be in the same boat soon enough. Let's stop here, bye."
Although Gu Wen was asleep, such words made Shang Xi feel uneasy all over.
That Zhou Ziyou woman was quite vulgar. They were adults, true, but with Gu Wen lying here, what shameful things could they do?
Well... except for some kisses.
Shang Xi exhaled and stood up, looking towards the hospital bed. Her heart fluttered with a start.
"You're... awake?"
Gu Wen hummed, staring at her for a while before saying meaningfully: "I'll recover soon."
"...Huh?"
It wasn't until two and a half months later that Shang Xi understood the meaning of those words.
The healing ability of werewolves was astonishingly terrifying. When the doctor examined Gu Wen and nodded in approval for him to start walking, Shang Xi was unusually speechless, her mouth agape in shock.
Her expression management had failed.
Gu Wen raised his eyebrows at her: "What? I told you I'd recover quickly. Don't keep me bedridden, Shang Xi."
Shang Xi twitched the corners of her mouth: "Ah, yes."
You werewolves are incredible.
"Stay in the hospital for another half month for observation and recuperation, then we'll go home."
After the doctor left.
Shang Xi still couldn't quite believe it, staring at Gu Wen sitting up in bed, looking him up and down: "This is... too exaggerated."
She reached out and gently pinched Gu Wen's knee: "Does it hurt?"
Gu Wen shook his head, and she pinched his other knee: "How about this side? Can you feel it?"
Before Gu Wen could respond, Shang Xi had shifted her attention to his arms, pinching and feeling them, then fixing her gaze on his back, unable to hold back her thoughts: "Truly monstrous. You had so many fractures, yet you've healed just like that?"
Gu Wen: "......"
He pressed his tongue against his teeth, staring at Shang Xi.
Shang Xi didn't notice his gaze, still immersed in her own shock, murmuring: "Able to jump, run, move nimbly, tough skin and flesh, sharp claws and fangs, ah... not human at all."
Only werewolves could possess such abilities, right?
She had truly found a werewolf mate.
Seeing the woman's dumbfounded, shocked expression, Gu Wen frowned slightly, his eyes narrowing as he reached out and pulled Shang Xi onto his lap.
"Ah!"
Shang Xi felt like she had sat on a scorching hot iron stool, hastily trying to stand up: "Don't be reckless! Do you want to lose your legs?"
Gu Wen firmly held her waist, leaning in to look at her, not answering but countering with a question: "What, only now realizing I'm not purely human?"
"I..."
Before Shang Xi could finish her first word, Gu Wen's fingertip pressed against her lips, gently caressing them. He raised the corners of his mouth, articulating each word for her to hear: "Too late. Even if Shang Xi wants to regret it now, it's too late."
Shang Xi's lips had already turned rosy.
Gu Wen's eyes darkened a shade, his eyelids half-lowered, as if entranced. He lowered his head and kissed her.
"Mmm..."
Shang Xi had intended to say she wasn't regretting, she had intended to tell him to let her get up, his legs were hurt...
But Gu Wen kissed her lips as if he had never been injured. Gradually, she felt like she had fallen into a soft, warm illusion, seeing Gu Wen's long, straight eyelashes, his noble nose bridge, his usually thin lips now pressed against hers...
They were inseparable.
So warm...
Shang Xi mused inwardly, closing her eyes contentedly. The gentle warmth of their lips, the delightful taste of kissing someone she liked... it was so comfortable.
Let's see what tomorrow brings, no need to wait. (ー_ー)!!
