The Sweetest Medicine

The winter morning was a bit dark. It was as though the gauze that covered the night sky had not been completely lifted.

Fang Zhihan’s bedroom door was left open. Yu Gangan stood outside the doorway ready to peer inside. But, just as she stretched her neck, Fang Zhihan stepped out, “You’re awake.”

The freshly awoken man had a deep and slightly sexy husky voice.

Yu Gangan looked at the man and said, “Yes, I was planning to leave because I have a seminar this afternoon, but you haven’t returned my phone yet.”

She stretched her hand towards Fang Zhihan.

Fang Zhihan leaned against the doorway in a lazy casual manner and said, “I’ll drive you in a moment.”

“Hurry and have a shower then,” Yu Gangan said as she tapped her chin.

After a night’s sleep, the man’s chin had grown some stubble, making him look scruffy and handsome.

Fang Zhihan touched his chin and looked at her quietly. “You help me shave it,” he suddenly said.

[What?]

[Help him shave it?]

Yu Gangan thought she had heard wrong as she opened her eyes wide, “…”

But, Fang Zhihan lifted his arm to display his weakness, “My hand’s injured.”

Yu Gangan lowered her eyes and saw his hand. It looked like it had scraped across something. There were a few obvious scratches. But, it wasn’t enough to prevent him from shaving himself.

So, she waved her hand, “Do it yourself. I don’t know how to do it.”

“I’ll teach you.”

Yu Gangan wanted to run away, but Fang Zhihan grabbed onto her hand and dragged her into the bathroom.

The dim yellow light in the bathroom fell on top of his head as he lowered his head and looked at Yu Gangan with his deep and charming eyes.

Yu Gangan blinked her eyes, looked up at the man and rejected him again, “I really can’t do it.”

“Learn,” Fang Zhihan said as he placed his shaver and shaving cream in Yu Gangan’s hands.

“Why should I learn? I don’t have a beard to shave.”

“But I do.”

“If you have one then you should shave it yourself.”

“I injured my hand when I was carrying you…” Fang Zhihan said as he sat down on the edge of the bathtub, lifted his chin and waited for Yu Gangan.

Yu Gangan thought he was lying to her, but after a moment of hesitation, she still walked over to him.

She squeezed some shaving cream onto Fang Zhihan’s chin and began to spread it. Through the shaving cream, she could feel the man’s spiky stubble. It was a strange feeling, like something was tickling at the bottom of her heart.

After spreading the shaving cream, Yu Gangan turned on the electric shaver.

Even though it was electric, Yu Gangan was still too afraid to make a move, “If I hurt you, don’t blame me.”

“En.”

Fang Zhihan closed his eyes and handed himself over to the woman.

Yu Gangan held her breath, placed the shaver against Fang Zhihan’s face, and began to move carefully.

Shaving was meant to be an easy task, but for Yu Gangan, it felt extremely difficult.

A few minutes felt like a few months. When she finally finished, she let out a sigh of relief.

As she lifted her head, she saw Fang Zhihan’s dark eyes staring down at her.

Their faces were really close, so close that she could feel his warm breaths on her lips.

Her heart suddenly beat out of rhythm.

Yu Gangan subconsciously took a few steps back, but suddenly felt an arm wrap around her waist. With one strong thrust, the man pulled her towards him.

By the time she realized what had happened, she was already seated ambiguously on top of Fang Zhihan’s lap.

This was an extremely aggressive and predatory position.

Dangerous and domineering.

Filled with possessiveness.

The man’s seductive face enlarged in front of Yu Gangan as her eyes grew big. She was too afraid to even move.

Fang Zhihan held onto her tightly; his breaths heavy and hot.

He placed his free hand on the back of Yu Gangan’s head and pressed his forehead against hers.

Yu Gangan subconsciously swallowed as her body fell weak and her heart tingled like it had been struck by lightning…
