Chapter 1451: Capítulo 1451: Chapter 1452: Gao Zhe, It Hurts

Lu Zhenzhen looked at him, without saying a word. She used to relish Gao Zhe’s gaze like this, but now she couldn’t quite handle it. Not wanting to reveal her unease, she simply turned away and showed him her back.

“Hiss——”

“Where does it hurt?”

Gao Zhe held her shoulder, turning her to face him.

Lu Zhenzhen was about to retort, but seeing his concern, she swallowed her words. She rolled up her sleeve to show him the nail marks on her arm.

She was slightly surprised, “I didn’t feel it at the time, not even in the shower. It must have been when I turned over just now, that’s when it hurt.”

Gao Zhe frowned tightly, leaving behind, “Lie still,” he briskly went out to fetch the medical kit.

He folded her sleeve a few times up to her arm, carefully tending to her wound.

Lu Zhenzhen couldn’t escape; no matter which way she looked, his face was always there. Tears welled up, her nose tingled as she covered it with a hand, probably now red.

She glanced at him and thought to herself, she could never hide anything in front of him, so she didn’t bother.

“Gao Zhe,” Lu Zhenzhen said softly, “it hurts.”

“Then I’ll be gentler, just bear with it. The scratch isn’t deep, it’s only that some paint got into the wound. Fortunately, most of it was washed off during your bath…”

“Gao Zhe,” Lu Zhenzhen’s voice got even softer, “I said, it hurts.”

Gao Zhe paused his hand, looked up, directly into Lu Zhenzhen’s reddened eyes.

He instinctively moved closer, hesitated slightly before gently placing his hand on her head, his fingers softly stroking her temple.

In a gentle voice, he asked, “Where does it hurt? Tell me.”

Lu Zhenzhen just shook her head.

Shaking it harder and harder, she bit her lip to swallow back a sob that almost escaped.

“I don’t know, I’m saying it hurts, so it does.”

Gao Zhe felt a deep ache in his heart.

“Should I comfort you?”

Lu Zhenzhen punched his chest, “Who needs your comfort!”

Gao Zhe didn’t move, didn’t make a sound, letting her vent her frustration.

Actually, Lu Zhenzhen just wanted to scold him, but as soon as she opened her mouth, it sounded more like whining. Her emotions surged uncontrollably, so she just gave up, after all, it wouldn’t be the first time she cried in front of him.

“Did you see? All those people were bullying me today! A whole family against one weak woman!”

Gao Zhe’s mouth twitched slightly; he held back from laughing and suppressed it as he spoke, “I saw it. I know you’ve been wronged, I will take care of them and get justice for you.”

Lu Zhenzhen sniveled, “Some woman called me a slut. In all my life, no one’s ever called me a slut!”

Gao Zhe’s expression turned cold sharply, “Who said that?”

“I don’t know!”

Lu Zhenzhen shouted, then stopped talking, she was so angry her lips trembled, and once the tears started, she couldn’t stop. She wailed twice, her sobbing loud, like a motor was installed in her throat.

“I will find out who insulted you, I’ll pay them back a hundredfold and make them pay, I won’t let any of that family off the hook.”

Lu Zhenzhen glared at him fiercely, opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but forgot it at the last moment, then snorted and turned away.

Just like a kid who’d been bullied and was complaining to a parent.

Since she finally calmed down, Gao Zhe quickened his pace in treating her wound. It wasn’t too serious, and after applying some medicine, he leaned in to blow it dry, ensuring it wouldn’t stain her clothes before carefully rolling her sleeve back down.
