Gu Xiao frowned. They were often out in the field, and the military would distribute first-aid kits, which included antidotes for this situation.

"Madam, please calm down. I have some medicine here."

Gu Xiao helped Shen Lu up and, while talking, took the medicine out of his shirt pocket.

Even though he was usually aloof, a blush crept up his ears at this moment.

"Ugh...it's so hot..."

Shen Lu mumbled incoherently, her burning cheeks unconsciously brushing against his slightly cool fabric, seeking a moment of comfort.

Her breath was fragrant, yet scorching hot.

While Gu Xiao was searching for the antidote, he heard hurried footsteps and faint calls coming from outside the car.

The police have arrived.

"You, kneel down on the ground and put your hands behind your heads."

"Officer, I'm innocent! That woman seduced us!"

In a daze, Shen Lu heard the thug's voice, and fear rose in her heart. Fear made her like a cub, and she kept burrowing into Gu Xiao's arms.

The man outside the door continued barking like a dog, trying to shirk responsibility. The louder he made, the more frightened Shen Lu became, and those terrible memories from the past surged up like the sea.

At this moment, she was like a duckweed in the rain, isolated and helpless, which made her unable to help but clench the straw in her hand.

But even her lifeline was abandoned, constantly pushing her away.

In a moment of desperation, Shen Luxin steeled herself, raised her head, and pressed her burning lips against his without any rhyme or reason.

Gu Xiao, whose lips had never touched anyone before, stopped what he was doing, his whole body stiffening abruptly as if struck by lightning.

Every muscle tensed instantly, and the well-defined knuckles of his fingers clenched into fists involuntarily.

A sudden roar filled my mind, and a voice commanded sharply: Push her away!

But the softness against his lips trembled with despair, like a dying butterfly futilely striking its cage.

Her disordered, hot breath brushed against his cheek, carrying her unique scent.

The force of resistance crumbled inch by inch amidst the contradiction of fragility and passion.

Gu Xiao could clearly feel cracks forming in his strong mental defenses; it was a slow, silent collapse.

The hard-line principle that had been upheld for twenty-eight years became utterly vulnerable at this moment.

"Don't arrest me! I'm truly innocent..."

The thug's voice grew softer and softer. His incoherent ramblings were interfering with the police investigation, and he was quickly gagged and taken away.

"strangeness."

The adjutant outside the car looked around in confusion.

My guild leader was just here a moment ago, how come he disappeared in the blink of an eye?

Shen Lu regained her senses and realized her lapse in composure. Blushing, she withdrew from the man's embrace.

In the cramped space, the softness still lingered on her lips, and her heart pounded deafeningly.

Shen Lu was breathing heavily, and the heat on her face almost burned her skin.

Gu Xiao remained calm and composed, quickly finding the pills and feeding them to Shen Lu.

His eyes darkened for a moment only when his thumb touched the woman's soft red lips.

Shen Lu instinctively resisted, but stopped the moment the pill entered her mouth, tasting its ingredients.

Coptis chinensis, Scutellaria baicalensis, Phellodendron chinense, Gardenia jasminoides, Cornus officinalis.

These are all Chinese herbal ingredients that clear heat and detoxify.

This man was saving her.

The man avoided Shen Lu's gaze and spoke, feigning composure.

"I'll stay outside and keep watch. You can come out when you're all ready."

After taking the pill, Shen Lu became much more awake. Realizing what she had just done, she lowered her head in embarrassment, her voice muffled.

"it is good."
