Chapter 19: Added WeChat and already driving? Isn't that a bit too fast?
Clang!
Less than five minutes after Meng Ziyi left, Gulinaza arrived, wearing a figure-hugging white sweater and blue jeans, pink slippers, and carrying a bag.
"Sorry, Han Xian, your clothes aren't dry yet, I'll have to return them to you later."
"It's okay, no rush."
"Here, take this."
"This is?"
"I saw that you already have jujubes, donkey-hide gelatin, and black sesame paste, so I bought some Qi-nourishing and Blood-nourishing Oral Liquid and Shi Quan Da Bu Wan (a traditional Chinese medicine formula). Try them and see how they work. If they work well, I'll buy you more."
Gulinaza kindly handed over the tonic, her smile gentle and sincere.
Han Xian, however, did not appreciate the gesture and instead his face darkened.
"...Gu! Li! Na! Zha! I think I told you I wasn't afraid!"
"I know you're not weak, but aren't you going to film action scenes? You're training too hard every day, you need to replenish your energy."
Ignoring Han Xian's dark expression, Gu Lina walked past him, her hair smelling of lemon, and limped into the living room. She placed the bag in her hand on the coffee table and even came up with an excuse for Han Xian.
Men are very concerned about their image, and they can't admit to anything they don't care about.
She understands!
Han Xian: "..."
Looking at Gu Li's slender, tall, and curvaceous back, he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what it was.
and many more!
Han Xian realized that something was wrong.
Sending clothes is understandable, but what's with sending health supplements?
Gulinazha is taking the initiative to contact him, it seems like she wants to woo him!
This wasn't just Puxin's confidence; it was because he understood the tropes of harem novels.
Gulnazar is the second female celebrity he has encountered, so she must be one of the leading ladies.
As the male lead, he has nothing to offer except for his good looks.
If he doesn't take the initiative to win over the female lead, then the only option is for the female lead to win him over in return.
However, simply not taking the initiative would obviously slow down the main storyline, so he also had to take the initiative.
Just as Han Xian was about to take the initiative, a QR code and several pale fingers appeared in front of him.
Looking up, I was met with Gu Li's bright, clear eyes, and I really wanted to go for a swim.
Gulinaza waved her phone. "We've been chatting for so long and still don't have each other's contact information. Shall we add each other on WeChat?"
Han Xian smiled and took out his phone to scan the QR code on his Mate 7. "I'm flattered that a beautiful and famous star like you would take the initiative to add me on WeChat!"
Gu Lina rolled her eyes at Han Xian, "With your calm and composed demeanor, I really don't see where you were frightened."
"..."
Han Xian was dumbfounded.
Did I run him over in the face with my car right after adding him on WeChat?
Has he become that close to Gulnazar?
But he only met her three times.
Or is this the special treatment that the female lead in an entertainment harem novel gives to the male lead?
Noticing Han Xian's blank expression, Gu Lina also realized there was something wrong with her words. Her face flushed red as she hurriedly explained, "You, you shouldn't think like that. What I said... is not the same as what you're thinking."
Han Xian coughed twice, "Yeah, yeah, I wasn't thinking anything, I wasn't thinking anything."
In fact, when certain awkward topics are brought up, if no one explains, the matter will simply pass by in a muddled way.
But Gu Lina Zha added an explanation, and Han Xian subconsciously replied, making it impossible to simply let the matter go.
The two exchanged a glance, and a few seconds later, they tacitly looked away awkwardly.
Han Xian looked up at the sky and whistled, as if he hadn't said those words.
Whether he's startled or not is none of his business!
Gulinaza awkwardly rubbed her legs together, stomped her foot, and said coquettishly, "Don't whistle... Ouch!"
The pain in her injured right ankle made Gulinazha shudder uncontrollably, causing her to tilt her body and fall backward.
Han Xian swiftly reached out and grabbed Gu Li's soft, slender waist, saving the beauty from nearly hitting her head. He sighed inwardly.
As expected of an entertainment harem novel, this trope from TV dramas—the female lead tripping and falling flat on her back, the male lead grabbing her waist—is still present, one after another.
While inwardly complaining, Han Xian didn't show it on his face. Instead, he kindly helped Gu Lina Zha to her feet, inhaled her delicate fragrance, and looked at her furrowed brows. "Are you alright?"
Gulinazha blushed, gritted her teeth, and tears streamed down her face. Her voice was broken and intermittent, "I should... be fine."
Han Xian smirked, "You're in so much pain you're crying, and you're saying you're fine?"
Gulinaza raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and took a deep breath through the pain, "It's just... my right foot hurt a little again, but it'll be fine after a while."
Han Xian looked down at Gu Li's right foot. Her little foot was quite white, small, and pretty, but there was a glaring red swelling the size of an egg at her ankle.
"Let me help you sit on the sofa and then check your ankle."
"Isn't that a bit too complicated?"
"Yes! You sprained your ankle that day because of me. If your injury gets worse or you even break a bone, I'll bear even more responsibility. I need to get you to the hospital right away!"
"Oh well!"
Although she knew Han Xian was exaggerating her injuries, Gulinaza still chose to listen to his advice.
She took the wrist that Han Xian offered, leaned on his strong hand behind her back, and moved to the sofa to sit down slowly.
She watched Han Xian lift her right foot, watching him carefully prepare to check her ankle, her eyes slightly dazed.
What a handsome face, and such gentle movements!
Just as she imagined!
opposite.
Han Xian lifted up Gu Lina's right foot.
Because of her sprained ankle, Gulinaza was wearing slippers barefoot.
Perhaps because she was going to wear slippers, her toenails were painted with clear nail polish, which was quite eye-catching.
My feet don't smell nice, but they don't smell bad either. Plus, I rubbed my ankles with safflower oil, so they have a spicy medicinal smell.
Her little feet were fair, delicate, and slender, with translucent skin that revealed the blue veins on the instep and a small section of her snow-white calf.
This is why the redness and swelling on my right ankle is so noticeable.
As Han Xian pinched the fair little foot, the traditional Chinese medicine knowledge he had learned in his childhood came to mind, the clearest of which was the massage section of "Huangdi Neijing·Lingshu·Gudu".
Han Xian quickly searched his brain for useful orthopedic knowledge and gently twisted Gu Li's little toes.
"Does it hurt?"
"It still hurts a little, but it should be fine."
"But it seems more serious than before."
"It's alright, I'll just apply some safflower oil and rub it in when I get back."
"...If you don't mind, I can treat it for you. Consider it compensation for your sprained ankle and the further damage to your injury."
"You can cure it?"
"I learned it when I was little, so I know a little bit."
Now that he had decided to take the initiative, Han Xian didn't want to hide anything.
Anyway, he knows some basic traditional Chinese medicine, so treating a sprained ankle shouldn't be a problem.
He rubbed his hands together, looking at Gu Lina's bright, clear eyes, "It's going to hurt a lot later, can you bear it?"
Gulinazha instinctively gripped the cushion beside her, her voice a little nervous, "Does it... hurt a lot?"
Han Xian shook his head. "I don't know if it will hurt a lot, but it will definitely hurt a little. How about you bite a towel... um, I don't have a new towel, how about you bite your own clothes?"
Gulinaza glanced down at her white sweater, then looked up at Han Xian, her gaze shifting downwards. "I can't bite this white sweater, so I'll bite your... T-shirt instead!"
Ok.
White sweaters have fur, so they're not easy to bite.
Han Xian glanced at Gu Li's curvaceous figure, then turned and pointed to the T-shirt hanging on the balcony. "My T-shirt was just washed not long ago, it's still dripping wet, you... can I?"
Gu Lina pointed at Han Xian's T-shirt and said, "I won't bite the dripping one, I'll bite this one you're wearing."
Han Xian was taken aback. "No... I wore this before."
"It's a clean white T-shirt I just put on. What? You're disgusted by my drool?"
"...As long as you don't mind, that's enough!"
Sensing that Gu Lina had designs on him, Han Xian didn't pretend to be reserved and directly took off his T-shirt and handed it to her.
Gulinaza had designs on him, and he had designs on her.
Everyone has the same goal, so it's a matter of who succeeds first.
