Defrosting The Cold Young Master-Chapter 820 - 824 I Am the Most Lovable Person

Chapter 820: Chapter 824 I Am the Most Lovable Person

Ye Xingbei gave him a disdainful look and, without further attention to his words, continued to massage him.

“Stop massaging, take a rest,” Gu Junzhu said, grasping her hand.

His arms were now free to move.

In such a short time, the stiffness in his arms and back had disappeared, the first time this had happened.

He wondered if it was really Ye Xingbei’s massage that worked or if his old injury had healed considerably during this period and was not as severe.

He had reckoned the time; his old injury hadn’t acted up for quite a while, and he had thought it was completely cured.

...

When Gu Junzhu held her hand, Ye Xingbei could no longer massage him.

After massaging for over an hour, her hands were indeed sore and her arms were soft, lacking strength. Seeing that Gu Junzhu’s complexion had improved greatly and his back muscles had softened, she knew he was indeed not in so much pain anymore. Without struggling, she lay down obediently beside him.

She lay on her side, facing Gu Junzhu, and asked, “How did you get your injury?”

“During a mission, a shrapnel shot into my back,” Gu Junzhu replied, “The doctor said I was incredibly lucky. That piece of shrapnel was just one millimeter away from my spine, just a little more deviation and I could have been paralyzed from a high-level spinal injury and never stood up again. But the shrapnel still left some damage and sequelae, the cause of which even the doctors couldn’t find. All they could do was control it with medication when it flared up. Luckily, it’s controllable. A few days of good care and it passes.”

Ye Xingbei gripped his hand tightly: “That’s why people say you guys are the most lovable.”

“Right,” Gu Junzhu said with a light laugh, “I am the most lovable person.”

Ye Xingbei would have certainly rolled her eyes at him if he had said that before.

Yet at that moment, hearing his long-lost relaxed tone, she felt a profound sense of contentment.

Although she knew Gu Junzhu was pretending to be relaxed to keep her from worrying, she was still happy.

Time heals all wounds.

Everything would get better.

The two chatted face to face for a while, and Ye Xingbei felt that her arm and hand had recovered enough to resume massaging him.

She clearly felt his muscles had relaxed, so she controlled the pressure and stopped talking to Gu Junzhu.

After another fifteen minutes, Gu Junzhu fell asleep.

He hadn’t had much sleep for several days and was physically drained from the torment of the pain tonight. Ye Xingbei’s massage was very comfortable, and he fell asleep unknowingly.

Hearing his gradually steady and lengthy breathing, Ye Xingbei reduced the intensity of her massage yet did not stop.

After massaging for another fifteen minutes, her arm was so sore that she had no strength left and finally stopped to lie down beside Gu Junzhu.

She turned the light down to its dimmest, lay on her side facing Gu Junzhu, her gaze fixed on his face, staring intently at his features through the dim light.

In the span of a few days, he had lost a lot of weight, his perfect features now more strikingly handsome. His face was pale without a trace of color, inexplicably giving a sense of frailty.

But Ye Xingbei knew that this man had nothing to do with the word ‘frail’.

No matter when, he was always resolute and strong.

He could feel sadness, pain, rage, and self-reproach. He could experience all the emotions any ordinary person would, but he would never be overwhelmed by any emotion.

Wherever and whenever, he was like a towering mountain, a fortress of steadfastness, giving her a sense of security, making her feel at ease.

Without thinking, she stretched out her hand and gently placed it on his.
