She wanted to help him to the bed, but she couldn’t move him. She had no choice but to help him sleep on the sofa. She took a wet towel and helped him wipe his face and body. When she unbuttoned his clothes, she realized that there were many bruises on his body.
Shi Muzhen cleaned up the untidy floor, opened the windows to allow the smell to dissipate, and tidied up the house at the stime.
As she was tidying up, she heard smovement on the sofa. Gu Zhichuan had had too much to drink and vomited. Shi Muzhen quickly went over and avoided the filth to support him. “Zhichuan? Zhichuan, lethelp you to your room to sleep.”
After saying that, she helped him back to his room while he was still conscious.
After letting him lie down, Shi Muzhen took a hot towel and wiped him again. She turned around and went out to clean up the mess outside.
Shi Muzhen liked him and was willing to busy herself for him.

Shi Muzhen did not leave that night.
The next day, Shi Muzhen was woken by knocking on the door. She sat up on the bed and looked at the still-unconscious Gu Zhichuan before she went to open the door.
“You’re still here?” Mrs. Gu asked after a pause when she saw Shi Muzhen.
“Zhichuan was too drunk last night and vomited a few times. I was worried about him,” Shi Muzhen said.
“It’s been hard on you. How can he be drunk without someone to take care of him? I’ll go in and see him.”
Mrs. Gu entered the room and saw the wounds on Gu Zhichuan’s face. She screeched, “Who beat him up like this! Are there any laws? Who is it?”
“I don’t know. Zhichuan was already drunk when I came.”
“Get up!” Mrs. Gu pushed at Gu Zhichuan. “Who hit you? You still drank till you’re like a pile of mud!”
Gu Zhichuan opened his eyes as Mrs. Gu kept shaking him. His head was still hurting. He was in a bad mood after being woken up. He called out hoarsely, “Mum.”
“What did you do last night?” Mrs. Gu questioned.
Gu Zhichuan ignored her. He looked at Shi Muzhen and frowned. “Why are you here?”
“Why is she here? Muzhen took care of you for the entire night! You didn’t even say a word of thanks? If it weren’t for her, no one would have known that you were dead drunk at hlast night!” Mrs. Gu said angrily.
Gu Zhichuan rubbed his aching temples and lifted the blanket. He realized that his upper body was naked and his pants had been changed. His face turned cold.
When he saw Shi Muzhen’s disheveled appearance, his gaze turned even colder.
Mrs. Gu also noticed something amiss. Her eyes darted between the two of them. “The two of you…”

Those unfinished words, that aggrieved expression, and her helpless look as she clutched her clothes and lowered her head, Mrs. Gu was sure that something must have happened between the two of them, but she did not dare to admit it.
Recently, Mrs. Gu found Shi Muzhen increasingly pleasing to the eye. She liked her more and more. She said, “There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. Both of you are unmarried. Auntie has been through it before. I understand.”
“Nothing happened between us.” Gu Zhichuan’s face was as black as thunder. “You’re already so drunk. Would you know what you’ve done? Even if nothing happened, Muzhen spent the night with you. She loves you and misses you.
Can’t you turn and look at her just once?” Mrs. Gu asked.
“Auntie, don’t say anymore…” Shi Muzhen pulled at Mrs. Gu’s hand.
Gu Zhichuan’s head hurt so much that he wanted to die. His tone was very heavy. “Both of you, get out!”
“You!”
Mrs. Gu was about to get angry when Shi Muzhen pulled her away. “Auntie, let
Zhichuan rest first. We can talk about other things later..”
