Although it was snowing heavily outside, it was warm as spring inside the large flat in Jiangwan Dijing.

Gu Zhen took Su Lingzhi back to Jiangwan Dijing. They didn't say a word along the way, and Su Lingzhi didn't take the initiative to talk to him. The two seemed to be competing with each other.

Today is New Year's Eve. Su Lingzhi had planned how to spend New Year's Day in early December. She wanted to go on vacation with Gu Zhen in Mingshan for three days during the New Year's Day holiday, to the cabin that she had been thinking about the last time, to enjoy the snow and soak in the hot springs, and to climb up the mountain to see the fireworks blooming on both sides of the river city, which must be very beautiful.

She didn't like Christmas. After Gu Zhen didn't want to celebrate his birthday at the end of November, she planned to have a lively New Year's Day. This was the first year she and Gu Zhen had spent together. She didn't know how long she could stay in the skit world, nor did she know if the system would warn her again. Was the pain she felt that time a punishment from the system or a real poisoning? She had no confidence in the future and just wanted to leave more good memories for Gu Zhen.

What a pity, it’s a waste!

She was terribly regretful.

It was past midnight and when she was detained at the police station for questioning, the fireworks had burned out and there was only snow flying outside.

Su Lingzhi was pressed on the sofa by Gu Zhen. He took the medicine box and used an alcohol swab to wipe the small scar on her wrist. When she beat Su Wan, it caused quite a commotion. Although Su Wan's assistant was stopped by Zhao Xuelan, many staff members backstage came to dissuade them. Su Wan also retaliated wildly and fought. The sharp edge of the ring scratched a bloody mark on Su Lingzhi's wrist. The wound was not big, and it was not worth mentioning compared to Su Wan who had stitches.

Gu Zhen noticed it when she got in the car.

After wiping the blood off her wrist, Gu Zhen applied medicine and a band-aid to her. Su Lingzhi looked at him in silence, with only the whistling cold wind outside the window and his deep breathing to her ears.

After simply treating the wound, Gu Zhen did not let go. He held her hand and rubbed the delicate skin next to the wound with his warm fingertips.

After the villa manor ended unpleasantly that day, the thorns between them grew wildly like vines. Su Lingzhi didn't like his out-of-control madness, and Gu Zhen found it difficult to express his fear. The two of them kept their bad emotions in their hearts, and the longer they held them back, the deeper the gap between them became.

"Why hit Su Wan?" Gu Zhen broke the silence.

Su Lingzhi didn't want to talk about why he beat Su Wan. Talking about Su Wan was really a dampener on the New Year's Day that he should have spent with her.

He raised his head and looked at her seriously. Gu Zhen had a pair of beautiful eyes, with long and thick eyelashes and dark and heavy pupils. When he stared at people, there was a strong sense of oppression. The ease and intimidation of a superior seemed to come from the bottom of his heart.

"If you want to hit me, just hit me. What reason do I need to hit her?" Su Lingzhi's voice was cold and hard. The conflict between her and Su Wan had accumulated so deeply that there would always be a day when it would explode.

"You never paid any attention to her provocations."

"You're wrong. I care a lot, I'm petty, and I hold grudges." Su Lingzhi deliberately argued with him, "I'm just acting to be broad-minded."

"So, I pinched you that day and it hurt you, but you were still petty and holding a grudge?"

"Yes!" Su Lingzhi's eyes were slightly red and her tone was very soft. She really didn't like the way Gu Zhen looked when he lost control. He was so alert and angry, and treated her as his property. If she angered him, Gu Zhen would explode and lose control. That look scared her.

Gu Zhen got up and went to the study. Su Lingzhi was puzzled. Was she unhappy again? In fact, she calmed down when Gu Zhen said sorry.

No matter how angry she was, she would calm down after a few days. She no longer cared about Gu Zhen hurting her, and her anger turned into melancholy after it disappeared.

She didn't know how to get along with Gu Zhen.

Gu Zhen came out with a baseball bat. Su Lingzhi looked at him in confusion as he put the baseball bat into her palm. "Hit him back."

Su Lingzhi, "..."

The heavy baseball bat was in her palm, and a casual swing could break a person's bones. Gu Zhen looked at her with dark eyes, "Pay it back tenfold, a hundredfold."

"Are you sick?" Su Lingzhi couldn't hold back his anger and cursed. Why did he have to make such a big fuss and get hurt when a simple "I'm sorry" could solve the problem?
