Song Shuang definitely wouldn't pick her up.

Gu Baisheng could tell it when he hung up silently.

So after a short hesitation, she typed down the emergency number and walked back in alarm with the shopping bag.

This was actually a very safe neighborhood.

Afterall, all the residents here were rich and powerful people in Beicheng.

Being a billionaire was only an entry-level condition.

Generally speaking, random people couldn't be accepted inside.

But there were exceptions.

For instance, Song Shuang getting hurt in the parking lot was a bitter lesson.

Gu Baisheng looked back carefully on her way home.

She didn't see anyone following her.

So, she started to feel more at ease.

But the next second, she was grabbed by the arm.

"Ah!"

She screamed and was about to cry for help.

Song Shuang suddenly said coldly, "What are you screaming for?"

Gu Baisheng regained her composure when she recognized it was Song Shuang's voice.

She looked at him resentfully, "Why didn't you inform me before you showed up?"

"Why did you look back in secret while walking?"

Gu Baisheng moved her lips.

She could never win the arguments with him.

She felt lucky that Song Shuang hadn't been so mean when she lived with her in the past.

"Didn't you sprain your ankle?"

Song Shuang stared at her weirdly.

Gu Baisheng suddenly remembered the lie, so she quickly frowned and pretended to be in great pain, "Yes, it hurts so much."

And she was about to squat and touch her ankle.

But Song Shuang reached out his hand.

She thought Song Shuang would take the shopping bag in her hand.

So, she handed it over to him.

Unexpectedly, when she reached out her hand.

Song Shuang passed her under her arms and picked her up.

"You..."

Gu Baisheng was picked up by Song Shuang.

She looked surprised.

Her heart was racing.

She felt paralyzed when she observed Song Shuang's handsome face so closely.

She had made out with such a handsome man.

Gu Baisheng didn't know how to describe her feelings.

She dared not look into Song Shuang's eyes.

But after Song Shuang carried her into the elevator, he asked, "How could you sprain your ankle in such a short time?"

"Well..." She thought fast to find an excuse, "There was a tiny stone on my way. I stepped on it and sprained my ankle."

Song Shuang looked at her confusedly.

He didn't believe such a lame excuse, "You kept looking back. Did someone follow you?"

Gu Baisheng was about to answer.

Before she said anything, Song Shuang reminded her, "Tell me the truth."

Gu Baisheng had no choice, "On my way to the supermarket, I felt someone was following me. It was a man who wore a black hat and a black puffer jacket. But he walked away when I looked at him. I'm not sure if he followed me all the way. I'm a bit worried that he might work for that casino too."

Song Shuang looked down, "Don't worry. Those people dare not make trouble on you."

Gu Baisheng agreed after a second thought. The Song Family had taken care of it, so the casino would leave them alone.

Gu Baisheng felt much better after Song Shuang comforted her.

Song Shuang put her down after he walked out of the elevator.

Gu Baisheng felt she had to pretend her ankle was indeed sprained, so she limped inside.

The bass was ready and braised in soy sauce.

Gu Baisheng couldn't wait to try it out when she smelt it.

But her ankle wasn't fully recovered, so she had to pretend it by holding the wall.

On seeing this, Song Shuang frowned, "Let me see it."

He squatted and grabbed her ankle.

Gu Baisheng was in a dilemma when she saw Song Shuang was going to take off her sock. She moved backwards, "It's not serious. You don't have to have a look."

"We have some ointment at home."

"I'm really fine."

Gu Baisheng still tried to move backwards.

Song Shuang took off her sock and held her foot.

She had tiny feet with well-trimmed round toenails. Her toenails were a bit pink, just like beautiful shells.

Song Shuang held her foot.

He passed his warmth to her with his palm next to her foot.

Gu Baisheng tried to withdraw her foot.

After she tried a few times, Song Shuang frowned unhappily, "Stop moving."

"It's not a big deal."

Gu Baisheng murmured.

Song Shuang touched her ankle.

Intentionally or not, he squeezed her ankle hard.

Gu Baisheng couldn't help screaming, "Ouch!"

Song Shuang looked up, "Sit down on the sofa and apply some ointment."

Gu Baisheng was really confused.

He was a qualified physician. Her ankle hurt not because of the sprain, but the squeeze.

Couldn't he tell it?

Gu Baisheng felt it weird.

Song Shuang helped her to the sofa and went to the bedroom to find the ointment.

Gu Baisheng touched her ankle, but it was not swollen.

Why didn't Song Shuang suspect it?

Song Shuang went back with the ointment. He took her foot and applied the ointment on her ankle after rubbing it hot.

Gu Baisheng gritted her teeth because he rubbed her ankle so hard. She looked at him carefully and tried to make conversation to break the ice, "You didn't put sugar into the bass?"

"Yeah, you're too slow."

"It's equally tasty!"

She smiled after finishing the sentence.

Song Shuang looked at her, as if she had been a fool.

Gu Baisheng felt the underlying message behind the stare, so she stopped smiling and tried to distract herself from thinking about Song Shuang's rubbing.

But no matter how hard she tried,

Song Shuang's strength and touch made her feel restless.

Gu Baisheng was relieved after Song Shuang finished, "Dinner is ready. Let's eat first!"

"Yeah."

Song Shuang stood up to put the ointment back.

Gu Baisheng washed her hands and then set the table.

When the table was set, Song Shuang walked out.

Gu Baisheng told him to sit down and poured him a cup of juice.

Song Shuang frowned, "I don't drink juice."

"I didn't make soup today."

"I'll have some beer."

Song Shuang took a can of beer out of the fridge.

Gu Baisheng was a bit concerned, "Maybe I can make you some tea?"

"Why can't you stop talking?"

Gu Baisheng shut up.

Song Shuang bought the beer yesterday.

She had been living with him for a few days. And he put lots of stuff into the fridge.

She noticed the beer when she opened the fridge, but she didn't pay attention to it because there were only three cans.

If Song Shuang insisted on drinking, she had no right to ask him to quit.

So, she had to mind her own business.

Song Shuang ate quietly. Although their relationship became much better after they lived together, they still could act like normal couples, let alone chat with each other or look at each other affectionately.

She was happy as long as Song Shuang didn't say mean things to her when they were eating.

Gu Baisheng ate really fast, because she couldn't stay on her phone when she ate with Song Shuang.

She washed the dishes after she finished eating, and then she went back to her room to take a shower.

Song Shuang was almost finished.

But after dinner, Song Shuang didn't get ready for bed immediately.

After the shower, he turned on the TV and took out his laptop.

After preparing her interview outfit for tomorrow, Gu Baisheng went out to get some water.

Although the TV was on, it was silent. Song Shuang kept typing on his laptop. She was curious, "Do you want to turn off the TV?"

"No."

Song Shuang replied.

Gu Baisheng nodded.

She was about to leave.

Song Shuang suddenly stopped her, "Look at this."

Gu Baisheng walked to him confusedly and sat next to Song Shuang to look at his laptop.

It was a surgical case.

"It's a neurosurgery operation." Gu Baisheng said, "Is it craniotomy?"

"What do you think?"

Song Shuang asked.

Gu Baisheng replied, "This surgery is..."

Gu Baisheng was just about to express her thoughts, because she leant it from a senior doctor and told Song Shuang about it.

Now Song Shuang happened to ask her about this surgery.

She learnt her lesson now.

She replied, "I'm just an intern, so I don't know it well."

Gu Baisheng planned to leave after finishing it.

She knew what Qu Xiaobo had told Song Shuang, and now Song Shuang tested her like this. He must've suspected her.

The more you did, the more mistakes you made.

The best option was to stay quiet.

She walked with the cup in her hand, and Song Shuang closed the laptop and asked her, "Where do you sleep tonight?"

Gu Baisheng stopped, "I..."

"You want to sleep in my room again?"

"No, I don't want to disturb your sleeping." Gu Baisheng hurried to say, "I'm still on my period, and I hurt my ankle. I might kick you at night. You have to work tomorrow. It'll be so bad if I disturb your sleeping."

Gu Baisheng sneaked out from the living room after saying so.

She was worried that things might change if she was late.

Song Shuang turned around to look at his laptop when he saw she left so fast.

She clearly wanted to say something about the surgery.

But somewhat, she stopped.

She was alert.

Obviously, she knew that he was testing her.

But what would he treat her afterwards?

Song Shuang looked down and then looked at the beer can.
