“Are you feeling sad?” Gu Ci touched her face, almost numb from the emotional rollercoaster she had been through. At times, she felt like she was in heaven, while at others, she felt like she was in hell. Lu Zhiyuan had given her the experience of soaring in flying cars through the clouds.

“Yes, you look very sad,” Gu Ziyu responded after a moment of thought. To imitate emotions, he had observed thousands of sad faces and remembered every expression of sadness.

“Mommy is just tired.”

Gu Ziyu shook his head. “Did Daddy scold you?”

Gu Ci was speechless.

Gu Ziyu clenched his fists. “Mom, wait ten years. When I grow up, I’ll help you beat him up.”

Gu Ci burst out laughing. “Ziyu, Daddy didn’t scold me. Daddy’s wound opened up. There’s still a competition tomorrow, so Mommy is very worried.”

“Oh…” Gu Ziyu suddenly understood. “Alright, Mom. I’ll go for training then. Come home early.”

“Okay, Mommy loves you.”

“I love Mommy too!”

Gu Ci gazed at the night sky and couldn’t help but frown when she thought of Lu Zhiyuan. If he knew that his son resembled Third Master so much, he would undoubtedly be depressed.

The next day, at dawn, Gu Ci went to find Lu Zhiyuan.

Lu Zhiyuan was engrossed in his phone. “This idiot, I really want to…” Gu Ci, why are you here so early?”

He fumbled with his phone, dropping it to the ground in his haste. Gu Ci picked it up and discovered that Lu Zhiyuan had been searching for news about his achieving first place. Seeing that he had indeed won first place, he had even started cursing?

“Aren’t you happy you placed first?”

“Happy, I’m so happy!” Lu Zhiyuan clenched his teeth. “Go, call the doctor!”

“Yes, Third Young Master!”

Gu Ci pulled a chair over and sat beside him, observing his gloomy expression. The competition was scheduled for four o’clock that day, and he had to be at the venue by two in the afternoon. Lu Zhiyuan checked his wound with an unfriendly expression.

The patient’s visitor sent another fruit basket filled with apples. Lu Zhiyuan raised his voice and said, “Someone entered through the door. Take this fruit basket away. I don’t want to see a single apple!”

The bodyguard rushed in and took the fruit basket away. Gu Ci watched his furious actions after waking up, suppressing her laughter.

The doctor hurriedly entered the room. After examining the wound, he once again advised Lu Zhiyuan to give up on the race. “Third Master, in the qualifying competition, our medical team advises you to conserve your strength. Just aim for sixth place. If you exhaust yourself to achieve first place, although you’ll have the advantage of starting the race, your injuries will worsen. It won’t be beneficial for today’s race.”

“Enough with the nonsense, and seal it!” Lu Zhiyuan declared firmly. “I must go on stage!”

Lu Zhiyuan was irritated. He had already told Third Master that fifth place was sufficient. There was no need to strive for first place. The main competition was the points competition, and the qualifying round wasn’t as crucial.

“Third Young Master, you’ve already had four injections during the A City competition. Having another injection within such a short period will have a greater impact on your body.”

“After the Lavis competition, I’ll take a good rest.” Lu Zhiyuan glanced at the doctor, his gaze resolute and unwavering. “Proceed with the injection!”

Lu Zhiyuan was annoyed. He wanted to discuss the plan first, but the doctors looked at each other and left the room. He couldn’t decide who he was angrier with.

Casually, Gu Ci remarked, “I was taking care of you last night!”

In his rage, Lu Zhiyuan suddenly raised his head and stared at Gu Ci. For a moment, his anger subsided, and his usually playful peach blossom eyes were filled with panic.

“What did you say?”

Gu Ci smiled like the warm winter sun. “After yesterday’s match, you were hospitalized. I’ve been by your side the entire time. You should have realized your injury last night, but you only got angry this morning. Your reaction time is a little slow.”

Lu Zhiyuan was speechless.

His hands trembled slightly as he pulled up the blanket, avoiding Gu Ci’s gaze. His breathing quickened when Gu Ci approached him, and he suddenly covered his head. “My head hurts. I can’t remember what happened last night.”

“It’s nothing serious. You’re injured and have a bad temper. You didn’t want to see me either,” Gu Ci replied casually.

“Fuck!” Lu Zhiyuan muttered under his breath. Then, he raised his head and smiled, revealing a trace of tenderness. “I was out of my mind. You’re not angry, are you?”

“I was so angry that I couldn’t sleep all night,” Gu Ci said lightly, pointing to the dark circles under her eyes. “See these?”

Lu Zhiyuan felt extremely awkward. He had made a mistake as Third Master and now had to apologize. It was truly frustrating. He took a deep breath and said, “I’m sorry.”

Gu Ci’s face stiffened, but she held back her laughter.

“I promise it won’t happen again,” Lu Zhiyuan said after contemplating for a moment. “Next time I scold you, punch me in the face if you’re angry. The harder, the better.”

“Really?” Gu Ci raised an eyebrow.

Lu Zhiyuan nodded solemnly. “What if you retaliate?”

“I dare him to!” Lu Zhiyuan blurted out. Their eyes met, and both were momentarily stunned. Lu Zhiyuan quickly grinned mischievously. “I won’t fight back when you hit me. I won’t scold you in return. I promise.”

Li Jiang, who stood by the door, wiped his brow, relieved. “Third Young Master, please don’t trick Miss Gu Ci. I beg you!”

“I’ll remember what you said,” Gu Ci said as she handed him the milk that Li Jiang had warmed up. Lu Zhiyuan held the milk in his hands but remained silent. In his heart, he thought that Li Jiang really didn’t want to work anymore. He had allowed Gu Ci to get close to Third Master.

Gu Ci felt her heart ache for him. Besides, he needed to prepare for the race at two in the afternoon. Fl racers had to be fully focused and couldn’t afford any distractions. It was too dangerous.

“Lu Zhiyuan, I like you just the way you are now.”

Lu Zhiyuan’s eyes lit up, and he felt overjoyed.

Gu Ci continued, “In my eyes, you have a sharp tongue but a gentle heart. You have a bad temper, yet you love to smile. You’ve always been the brightest star in my eyes.”

He gazed at the cold yet gentle girl in front of him, and his heart swelled with intense emotion. Who could resist such a sincere and tender confession? She was the treasure he had protected since childhood.

“Then keep looking at me,” Lu Zhiyuan said, his emotions surging and seeking an outlet. But he restrained them within his heart. “Don’t look at anyone else.”

“Okay!” Gu Ci leaned in and kissed him. She embraced his neck with both hands and playfully rubbed her nose against his. “Lu Zhiyuan, can you promise me one thing?”

“Tell me!” Lu Zhiyuan brushed his lips against hers, leaving them moist from their kisses. She was so adorable. If she asked for his life at that moment, he would gladly give it to her.

“I don’t care if you become the world champion or not. I just want you to be safe,” Gu Ci gently caressed his cheek. “If anything happens to you…”

I won’t be able to live alone!

Before she could finish her sentence, Lu Zhiyuan fiercely kissed her lips, almost biting them. After a long while, he regained his composure. “Okay!”

Gu Ci hadn’t slept all night, and Lu Zhiyuan had a meeting with the racing team. She decided to return to the hotel first and attend the competition in the afternoon. As she left the hospital, she noticed a car parked by the roadside. Chen Rushi smiled at her. “Miss Gu, what a coincidence. Arc you going back to the hotel? Let’s go together.”

“I’ll just walk,” Gu Ci replied, pondering for a moment.

“Let’s go together. It’s just a kilometer away,” Chen Rushi insisted.

Seeing Ji Chi in the car as well, Gu Ci contemplated for a moment before finally getting in..
