Gu Yusheng understood what she was thanking him for when he saw Qin Zhi’ai pointing at his wound.
His eye brows moved slightly. He heard her thanking him again before he could say anything back to her first thanks.
The second time she thanked him, she added two more words to it—”that day.”
It wasn’t that he had never been thanked by others, but he wasn’t happy that she had only thanked Lu Bancheng, not thanking him when he went to pick her up in the heavy rain. He also wondered why she hadn’t thanked him when he had brought her back from Lame Wang.
She hadn’t thanked him for anything yet, but he didn’t feel it was right to ask her to thank him. As time went by, neither of them talked about it.
However, she had thanked him out of nowhere at this moment.
She had said it in a low pitch, but it had sounded very soft and soothing especially in the dark and quiet bedroom. It seemed like she had whispered in his ear, which made him shiver. His heart seemed to miss a beat. When he realized what she had thanked him for, the “you’re welcome” was just on the tip of his tongue, but wouldn’t come out.
After a while, Gu Yusheng’s heartbeat seemed to go back to normal. He suddenly realized that he had lost his composure just from a “thank you” from the woman next to him.
He had never been taken advantage of by anyone. She had won the argument, so he wanted to win it back. Without a second thought, he responded her, “The person who brought all this trouble to me finally realized she needed to thank the person who helped her.”
Qin Zhi’ai felt bad for Gu Yusheng, and a little regretful, too. However those feelings suddenly disappeared after hearing what Gu Yusheng said. She pursed her lips and turned her head away without saying anything.
Without knowing the reason, Gu Yusheng became quite happy from her cute reaction. He couldn’t help curling up the corners of his mouth. He said in a lazy tone, “So, you don’t like causing trouble for others? How should I say it?” Gu Yusheng thought for a while and said, “Trouble-maker?”
She only had bad feelings and regret left for him. She even regretted saying thank you to Gu Yusheng. She pulled her hands off of Gu Yusheng’s wrist and turned around so her back was facing him.
“Not happy about that wording, either? You’re quite tough.” Gu Yusheng saw Qin Zhi’ai not moving, only her back facing him. He held his hands out and grabbed her arm. He pulled with some strength and forcefully dragged Qin Zhi’ai into him. He stared at her eyes and asked, “How about this? I’ll try my best to come up with another name for you.” This time, it didn’t take him long to come up with a name. “Hellraiser?”
This name was perfect for her. She was a hellraiser. She made him either pick her up in the heavy rain or fight Jian Qianqian for her when she was bullied. Hadn’t he solved the problem for her when she was kidnapped? Besides that, he couldn’t smoke around her.
Thinking of these events, Gu Yusheng felt “hellraiser” was a perfect nickname for her. The more he thought about it, the better he felt about that name for her. He said, “That’s it. Hellraiser, little trouble maker.”
Recently, Qin Zhi’ai had dared to do more in front of Gu Yusheng. It might have been because Gu Yusheng hadn’t shown his temper as much. When she heard the constant mocking, she couldn’t hold back a come-back. “Wasn’t it because of you that I was kidnapped?”
Before Qin Zhi’ai finished the last word, she was frozen, staring at Gu Yusheng.
