“Brother Jincheng, are you alright?” Liu Zhixi quickly went forward to hug Gu Jincheng’s arm and asked with concern, deliberately showing off their intimacy. However, her eyes were constantly looking in the direction of Su Shanshan.

Su Shanshan pushed her away. “Why are you touching him?”

Liu Zhixi fell onto the ground weakly and looked at Gu Jincheng pitifully.

“Enough. You still haven’t said what you wanted to do by breaking into my room at night?” Gu Jincheng pulled her arm and asked coldly.

“shut up!” Su Shanshan only thought that he wanted to protect Liu Zhixi. There was a hint of grievance in her anger. “You’d better drink your milk properly!” With that, she glared at him and left through the window.

Gu Jincheng was shouted at for no reason. He stared blankly at her angry back view. She had broken into his room and punched him. Why is she the one who is angry now? he wondered.

Liu Zhixi, who was sitting on the ground, saw Gu Jincheng staring blankly at Su Shanshan’s back view and panicked. She could not let Su Shanshan attract Gu Jincheng’s attention again. If he remembered something, then she would be nothing to him.
Seeing that he had no intention of helping her, Liu Zhixi quickly stood up by herself. She had protected the glass of milk in her hand very well when she deliberately fell. She hardened her heart and said, “Jincheng, I’ve poured you some milk. It’s late now. Have some milk and go to bed early.”
Gu Jincheng glanced at the milk in her hand and asked, “Do you know Su Shanshan?”

Liu Zhixi was shocked and blurted out, “How did you know that she’s called Su Shanshan? You remembered?”

“What should I remember? Didn’t you call her Su Shanshan just now?” Gu Jincheng gradually sensed that something was wrong. Her words seemed to be saying that he had forgotten something.

Liu Zhixi saw that he did not seem to remember and heaved a sigh of relief. She smiled awkwardly and said, “No, nothing. It’s not someone important. It’s too late. Go to bed quickly after you drink the milk.”

Gu Jincheng looked at her evasive gaze, took the glass in her hand, and put the milk to his mouth as she looked nervously.

Excitement rose in Liu Zhixi’s eyes. Soon, as long as he drank it, she could become his woman tonight.

Gu Jincheng’s hand paused for a moment before he put the glass down again.

Liu Zhixi looked at him in disappointment and urged, “Hurry up and drink. I’ll take the glass out.”

“You’d better not play any tricks. You saved my life. Although I promised to protect you, if you have any other thoughts, don’t blame me for falling out with you.”

Liu Zhixi’s face was pale. Has he discovered it? she thought. No, the drug seller clearly said that it’s impossible to detect it.

“Jincheng, what are you talking about?” Liu Zhixi pretended to be confused.

Gu Jincheng handed her the milk and said coldly, “Drink it.”

Liu Zhixi took it nervously. She did not want to drink it, but she could not not not drink it. Otherwise, she would really be chased out. Her hand that was holding the glass tightened. Under Gu Jincheng’s gaze, she steeled herself and drank it.
“Jincheng, you’re thinking too much. I’m just concerned about you.” Liu Zhixi suppressed the heat in her body and smiled.

“Is that so? Then you can leave.” Gu Jincheng pushed her out of the room and closed the door.

Liu Zhixi crushed the empty glass in her hand. The heat in her body made it difficult for her to stand. She held the wall and reluctantly returned to her room. A figure followed her and asked, “Ms. Liu, are you alright?”

Her response was a passionate hug.

After leaving the Gu family’s villa, Su Shansha’s anger dissipated as soon as she walked out. She had already sensed that there was something wrong with Gu Jincheng. He seemed to not remember her at all.

She stopped in her tracks and thought of the serious matter she came here for today. She wanted to tell Gu Jincheng to be careful of the zombie bird attack soon. In the end, because of that woman, Liu Zhixi, she completely forgot about it..
