Qiao Xi opened the door.
Shen Dang walked in, his gaze initially on her face, but at that mont, Qiao Xi really made him...
Shen Dang couldn’t help but look down, his dark pupils reflecting her pale skin.
His stare was too intense, and Qiao Xi froze, only then realizing she was still wrapped in a towel.
Expecting it was Shen Dang who knocked, she hurried to open the door without changing, fearing he might be seen by others.
Qiao Xi felt embarrassed for a mont.
She quickly turned around and, after a pause, swiftly headed to her bedroom.
Her hurried steps revealed her nervousness, and her figure looked flustered.
It seed Shen Dang even saw her ears turn red.
She had tied her hair into a bun while bathing, making the redness of her ears particularly noticeable against her bright skin.
Shen Dang: "..."
He really hadn’t ant to look.
Who knew she was bathing and not dressed... but at least she was wrapped in a bathrobe, he didn’t see anything.
Why was she panicking?
Tch.
Shen Dang sat on the couch and soon saw Qiao Xi co out.
She was dressed in pajamas with a jacket over them.
Qiao Xi had already cald down, her deanor showing no unusual emotions.
She calmly asked, "Why are you here?"
"To apply dicine."
Shen Dang showed her the dicine in his hand.
He looked at her and said, "I can’t see the back, so I can’t do it."
He said it as if it were a matter of fact.
Qiao Xi sighed lightly, her face maintaining a certain calmness, "So why did you leave the hospital?"
She really couldn’t stay calm!
Her composure broke instantly, and Qiao Xi glared at him, "Can’t you just stay in the hospital?!"
Oh, she seed really angry.
Shen Dang paused and said with a bit of disdain and grievance, "I’ve said it before, the hospital doesn’t sll nice."
"..."
The swelling anger inside her felt like a deflating balloon, gradually shrinking.
Was he doing this on purpose?
Intentionally tornting her!
But it wasn’t exactly tornting her, after all, it had started because of her.
Seeing her cool down, Shen Dang slightly curved his lips, his tone casual, "Teacher Qiao, could you please help apply the dicine?"
She really wanted to say no!
But could she?
Qiao Xi took the dicine from his hand, her tone cold, "Lie down!"
"Oh, but let take off my clothes first before lying down."
Qiao Xi scoffed, "Then take them off!"
Shen Dang leisurely said, "No rush."
Qiao Xi: "..."
Sick, who’s rushing?
If it weren’t for needing to apply his dicine, from this conversation alone, soone might think they were doing sothing secretive.
Qiao Xi just stared at Shen Dang, her phoenix eyes cold, her tea-colored pupils watching him take off his overcoat and then his shirt.
The air conditioner was on in the room, Shen Dang shirtless: "I’ve taken it off."
"... Yes."
Qiao Xi gestured for him to lie down.
Shen Dang obediently sprawled on the couch.
His arm rested on the couch armrest, his upper body bent.
It had to be said, Boss Shen had a truly great physique, his broad shoulders conveying a sense of security, a lean waist and six-pack abs.
Slim when clothed, muscular when not.
A perfect hanger for clothes.
His pose even had a wild beauty to it.
His skin was pale, not the feminine pale, just beautifully so.
Qiao Xi had seen many male celebrities, but none had a body like Shen Dang’s.
Qiao Xi took a deep breath to focus her attention.
Her gaze landed on his wound.
The wounds on Shen Dang’s back were covered with bandages that Qiao Xi carefully peeled off, revealing the injuries beneath.
This was the first ti Qiao Xi saw his complete wound, the trauma seed severe against his fair skin, gruesoly etched.
Like a perfect painting vandalized.
Qiao Xi felt a twinge in her nose.
If it hadn’t been for Shen Dang, she would have been the one suffering from this pain.
"Apply it."
Having not seen Qiao Xi move for a while, Shen Dang twisted his head to look at her.
He noticed her eyes were reddening.
Just as Shen Dang was about to turn around, Qiao Xi pressed him back, her voice sowhat fierce, "Stay down properly!"
Shen Dang didn’t move.
He suddenly sighed, his voice low and light, "I would have known not to let you apply the dicine."
He had wanted to make her feel sorry for him.
But seeing her actually distressed, he didn’t feel that great either.
Qiao Xi carefully applied the dicine, hearing Shen Dang’s intake of breath, she beca even more cautious.
As she applied the dicine, she blew on his wound.
"It must have hurt a lot at the ti?"
The ointnt was cool, and her breath was also cool as it fell on his skin, which felt comforting.
Yet, Shen Dang felt her breath burn into his heart.
Scorching his heart.
Unseen by Qiao Xi, a dark current swirled in Shen Dang’s eyes, his voice lazily, "I didn’t feel much at the beginning."
He wasn’t lying to Qiao Xi.
"I just heard your intake of breath."
"Ah, applying the dicine now must hurt."
"Then bear with it a little."
Qiao Xi diligently applied the dicine to his back, blowing on it each ti.
Her usually cold gaze was now filled with seriousness and tenderness.
After all the ointnt had been applied, Qiao Xi placed fresh bandages on him, "Okay, done."
Shen Dang picked up his shirt, and as he dressed, pulling at the wound, he glanced at Qiao Xi, who wasn’t looking his way, so he slowed his movents.
Qiao Xi went to the restroom to wash her hands.
When she ca out, she saw Shen Dang wearing just a dress shirt, his expression cold and dignified.
He lifted his eyes, his voice tinged with a light smile, "Thank you, Teacher Qiao."
"It’s my fault you ended up like this."
So there was no need for thanks.
Fault?
Shen Dang chuckled softly, "You haven’t wronged , I chose this."
"Thank you."
She was the one who should be saying thanks.
"You already said that."
"Ah."
Qiao Xi understood this wasn’t sothing a few thanks could resolve.
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
Shen Dang picked up his coat and took the initiative, "Then I’ll be going."
"It’s early now, you might be seen." Qiao Xi suddenly beca alert, "You weren’t seen coming here, were you?"
He had followed Jiang Yongge.
"Of course not."
Shen Dang appeared completely candid.
"It’s still early, you should go back later." Qiao Xi watched his ready-to-leave deanor and suddenly changed her mind, "Never mind, stay here. Tomorrow morning I can change your dressing too, to avoid the hassle of going back and forth."
And it was easier to avoid being spotted.
Shen Dang smiled at her, "Alright."
He had accomplished his purpose.
"Make yourself at ho."
After Qiao Xi spoke, she returned to the master bedroom.
After a while, Shen Dang texted her:{It’s still early, how about watching a movie? I’m a bit bored.}
Qiao Xi replied:{Watch it yourself.}
Shen Dang replied:{It’s no fun watching alone.}
Seeing she didn’t respond, Shen Dang sent a few question marks.
Was Teacher Qiao planning to ignore him?
