Chapter 82 - 15 The Nature of a Tyrant
Gu Xiaoxi finished washing up, changed into clean clothes, and brought a clean towel to wipe Quan Shaoqing’s face. She served him very attentively during this time.
Quan Shaoqing hadn’t expected that she would be such a meticulous girl.
When she did these things, she was very serious, even making sure to carefully clean the dirt from under his fingernails with a cotton swab.
Unconsciously, he found himself grabbing her hand, a bit reluctant to let go.
"All done! I’m going down to have breakfast. What would you like, I’ll bring it up to you later," Gu Xiaoxi discarded the cotton swab, intending to pull her hand back from Quan Shaoqing’s grasp, only to discover that he was holding it tightly.
"Go ahead," Quan Shaoqing hadn’t realized what he had done.
"And your hand?"
Hearing this, he subconsciously let go...
Gu Xiaoxi’s lips curved into a smile, feeling a coolness in her palm yet still sensing the faint warmth he had left on her fingertips. She didn’t want to think too much about that subtle sensation and simply said to Quan Shaoqing, "I hope you’ll keep your word. I will find the culprit for you today."
Quan Shaoqing nodded, "My word is as good as gold!"
