Gu Tingshen pushed me away, picked up the blanket that had fallen on the ground, and quickly rolled me up in it, pressing me onto the couch.
My rationality had collapsed, every action was instinctual, I twisted my body, mindlessly hooking my arms around his neck.
Veins throbbed on his forehead, his body tensed up, and he coarsely chided for me not to move recklessly.
But at that time, I couldn't listen to any of that, just frantically pulling and tearing at him with my hands.
I heard him curse "damn it" next to my ear, then suddenly I was lifted into the air, as he scooped me up.
Carrying me, he pushed open the bathroom door and turned on the showerhead, pouring water over my head.
The ice-cold water shocked my senses, I shivered, hugged my body tightly, and the burning sensation subsided quite a bit.
"Feeling better?" Gu Tingshen asked in a hoarse, gentle voice.
