Ye Wan still felt a bit cold. The frostbitten areas on the back of her hands, which had stopped suppurating, were still shocking to look at. Her once fair little hands were bruised and swollen; she herself found them ugly.
As she walked, her arm was suddenly grasped. She turned her head and saw the man behind her. She tilted her small face up to look at him, "Are you done talking?"
"Not done, I don't know her," Gu Yunting explained subconsciously. He indeed didn't know the woman who had inexplicably approached him. So many people had seen him; if every one of them came to him for a heart-to-heart talk, wouldn't he be swamped?
"Oh," Ye Wan replied and asked him, "Going home? It's a bit cold."
Gu Yunting looked at her chapped lips and immediately took off his woolen coat and draped it over her. He was left with only a thin shirt.
"I don't need it, wear it back," Ye Wan reached out to take off the coat for him. It was so cold; how could he possibly wear just a shirt?
Before she could take off the coat, her body was suddenly lifted. Ye Wan gave a soft gasp and looked at the man holding her. Gu Yunting didn't say much, and just carried her towards the car.
Quite a few classmates on the road were looking over. Ye Wan quickly buried her face in his chest, afraid of being recognized.
"Isn't that Zheng Zi'er being carried? What's her relationship with Young Master Gu?"
"Could they be a couple? I really didn't expect someone like Gu Yunting to even come to our school! If Gu Corporation recruited more people from our school, that would be great."
"Zheng Zi'er is so lucky. If you go and butter her up now, she might say a few good words for you to Mr. Gu."
Many classmates had seen Zheng Zi'er stop Gu Yunting to talk, so many assumed the person he was carrying was her, envying her for climbing into bed with a wealthy young master.
Gu Yunting carried Ye Wan into the car, instructed the driver to turn up the heat, and headed back to the Gu residence.
Ye Wan sat up from his embrace and tried to move to the side. Gu Yunting cupped the back of her head and kissed her. The kiss was urgent and fierce, making her almost unable to breathe. Her small hands could only clutch his shirt, letting him kiss her.
He seemed tireless, as if he wanted to devour her whole to alleviate his longing for her over this past period. Ye Wan's mind became completely muddled before he finally let her go.
Ye Wan blinked her watery eyes at him. Tears shimmered in her eyes, as if the entire Milky Way had shattered in her beautiful eyes. She looked like a fish out of water at this moment, gasping for air.
"After all this time, you're still this clumsy," Gu Yunting looked at her with a faint smile in his eyes.
Ye Wan's mind finally began to work again. She felt a bit embarrassed and annoyed by his words, but she had another important matter at hand. The frostbite on her hand had broken, and blood had stained his clothes.
She quickly withdrew her hand, looking at his shirt awkwardly. She said sheepishly, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
Gu Yunting's pupils contracted sharply when he saw the frostbite on her hand. He had seen her frostbitten hands before, and at the time, he had left in a hurry without wanting to think too deeply. He hadn't expected her hand to be so severely frostbitten.
Fearing that he would be disgusted, Ye Wan even reached out to wipe it for him. But with blood staining the clothes, how could it be wiped off?
Gu Yunting grasped her wrist and stared at her frostbitten hand. One area had already scabbed over; it must have cracked open again from her excessive force just now.
Ye Wan tried hard to pull her hand back. She didn't want him to see her unsightly hand, but Gu Yunting refused to let go, continuing to stare intently.
