Wu Hao tightened his grip on the oil, causing his knuckles to bulge.
Anger pulsed in his eyes, and he stared at Xu Wennuan for a long time. Eventually, he did not say anything and merely lowered his eyelids.
When he lifted his head again, his expression had returned to normal. It was as if the anger that had flashed in his eyes had been an illusion.
He handed the safflower oil to Xu Wennuan and stared at her for a while as she poured the oil and massaged his ankle. He then slowly stood up and said, "I'll drive your car over."
Xu Wennuan slowed down the massage. She recalled that she had already agreed to Wu Hao's request in the car, so she did not object and took out her keys from her bag.
After taking the keys, Wu Hao stood where he was for a while before he turned and left.
… …
Wu Hao went downstairs and flagged down a taxi to head toward Lu Bancheng's neighborhood.
Halfway through the car, he suddenly yelled, "Stop the car!"
The taxi driver was stunned, but before he could speak, Wu Hao said in an exceptionally harsh tone, "I said stop the car!"
The taxi driver slammed on the accelerator. Wu Hao randomly took out a red bill from his pocket and handed it to the driver. Without waiting for his change, he hurriedly pushed open the door, jumped out of the car, and ran to the side of the road. He looked left and right twice before he finally hid behind the evergreens by the side of the street. He squatted on the lawn without a care for his image. His entire body trembled as he reached out and scratched at his body.
No matter how much he scratched, the itching pain continued to surge through his body. Feeling extremely uncomfortable, he could not help but reach out and scratch the ground. His fingers were bleeding from the abrasion, but he did not seem to feel it and continued to forcefully dig at the dry soil. The sharp pebbles in the soil pierced into his fingernails, causing them to bleed profusely, but he still showed no signs of stopping.
Only when all ten of his fingers were badly injured did the uncomfortable feeling in his body finally stop.
Wu Hao looked as if he had just escaped from death. He lay on the lawn in a sorry state and gasped for breath for a while before he slowly stood up. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his fingers clean. Then, he patted off the dirt on his body and walked out of the green belt. He held out his hand to hail another taxi and continued on his way to Lu Bancheng's neighborhood.
…
When Wu Hao returned to Xu Wennuan's apartment, Xu Wennuan was curled up on the sofa and asleep.
Wu Hao placed the car keys on the shoe cabinet and then walked quietly to the sofa. He bent down to pick Xu Wennuan up and walked into the bedroom.
He placed her on the bed and carefully covered her with the blankets. Then, he sat on the edge of the bed and stared at her sleeping face.
He didn't know if it was because she had cried for too long today, but he felt that there was a tear in the corner of her eye.
As he watched, he couldn't help but reach his hand out to help her wipe it away. But before his fingers could touch her face, she suddenly muttered two words in her sleep.
Wu Hao didn't hear it clearly, but he stopped moving.
The room was silent for no more than three seconds before her lips moved again. "Zero Degree, Zero Degree …"
Zero Degrees? Wasn't that Lu Bancheng? Why would she call out his online username in her dream?
Before Wu Hao could finish his thoughts, Xu Wennuan continued, "Lu Bancheng, Lu Bancheng …"
