Chapter 228

Looking at the wound again, it had already healed.

Zhao Chi wiped the drool from Gu Qing's mouth and examined the wound closely.

Completely healed—he hadn't even felt it just now.

No wonder this gene's description says "can instantly heal life."

It really is instant.

Gu Qing's cheeks were flushed red.

Not from shyness, but from excitement.

"My lord, was it fast?" Gu Qing stepped forward.

"Very fast."

"I mean the progress of our relationship—was it fast?"

"Relationship?"

"Yes, we've only known each other for eight days. Has our relationship progressed too quickly?"

Gu Qing stared down at Zhao Chi from above.

Zhao Chi's gaze passed over a pair of peaks and landed on Gu Qing's face, seeing that her expression was very serious.

"It's already been eight days, and there are plenty of love-at-first-sight cases. Ours would actually count as slow."

"Right, exactly!"

Gu Qing laughed happily, looking extraordinarily charming.

Zhao Chi didn't quite understand why she was laughing.

Gu Qing went on, "My lord, I have a feeling my affection for you is about to reach Tier 3. When that time comes… you can really do whatever you want…"

Gu Qing wore an expression of rapturous longing.

Zhao Chi found it strange—why did she seem even more expectant than he was?

Besides, her words didn't quite follow logically.

If Gu Qing really wanted something to happen with Zhao Chi now, couldn't she just decide that herself? Why would she still need to look at affection?

Zhao Chi voiced the question in his heart.

Gu Qing covered her mouth and laughed, "Silly, feelings go both ways. Even though I'm willing, I still need you to be willing too. Where's the sense in letting a woman get heated up alone?"

Zhao Chi was a bit confused: "I'm willing?"

Gu Qing wagged her index finger.

"My lord, don't lie to me. Your affection hasn't even been activated toward me—where would the willingness come from?"

"I have affection too?"

"Of course you have affection."

Zhao Chi had never known such a thing existed.

They hadn't covered it in such detail in class either.

For Zhao Chi, whether it was Gu Qing or Tang Ruan, or even any random woman outside, any of them would be enough to make his heart stir.

Before his transmigration, he had never in his whole life seen so many class-beauty-level women.

Outside right now there were a full ninety of them.

And Tang Ruan was school-beauty level.

Gu Qing went even further.

What was more beautiful than a school beauty? A celebrity? A city flower?

Zhao Chi didn't know what to call it, but Gu Qing was at that level.

How could Zhao Chi possibly not be tempted?

If he really had affection, he indeed hadn't activated it yet.

Gu Qing laughed, "My lord, why are you spacing out? What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about how to activate my affection."

Gu Qing crossed her arms over her chest and tilted her head in thought.

"My lord, is there any woman who has ever made your heart stir? The kind of sincere heart-stirring?"

Of course there was.

Zhao Chi couldn't help but think back to his school days…

"My lord!!"

Gu Qing suddenly shouted, cutting off Zhao Chi's memories, and brought her face close.

"Huh?" Zhao Chi got a scare.

"My lord! I only asked you to answer, not to reminisce. Look at me with both eyes now—banish that woman from your mind!"

Her tone brooked no argument.

Full of hostility toward that unknown woman.

Zhao Chi felt a bit dazed.

Who exactly was the lord here?
