Chapter 72: Understanding Him More

Su Shen sat up on the bed, leaning against the headboard, and began to contemplate Gu Zi's lingering gaze as she had tended to his injuries. He couldn't help but smirk at the idea that she seemed to love looking at his body.

It was an unexpected revelation that this young woman harbored such desires.

At moments during her ministrations, he had been tempted to pull her into his arms and kiss her.

However, the thought of her being a city girl had restrained him. He didn't want to startle her; he'd rather take things slow and steady.

Finally, Gu Zi returned from the bathroom with a basin of water containing a damp towel. She sat back on the bed, wrung the towel dry, and started to wipe away the lingering bloodstains.

There was a faint trail of blood trickling down his abdomen, disappearing beneath his waistband. Eager to begin eating soon, Gu Zi closed her eyes and moved the towel lower, allowing her fingers to brush across his chest.
