Chapter 141 The Silent Guardian Knight

A dark purple curtain draped with snow-white pearls hung down.

Separated from the bitter medicinal smell that Bai Xiaoxiao could smell, and Kui Ming's quiet sight.

The jingling sound indicates the process of applying medicine.

Place it, raise your wrist, find the burn wound, and then...

“Ah, it hurts!”

Bai Xiaoxiao stretched out her arms and covered her eyes, calling out, but there was no movement from behind the curtain for a long time.

[Why is he so quiet now that we're separated? What's going on? Are you saying one thing to my face and another behind my back?]

She flung open the curtain and saw the maid kneeling before the couch in a daze, one hand holding her palm, while the other hand had some black ointment on the fingertips, about to apply it to the burn, a full three inches away.

She silently raised her eyes and met the gaze of the serving maid.

If I say now that I didn't do it on purpose and simply didn't manage my timing well, will this girl believe me?

"Your Highness, please forgive me!"

The serving maid knocked her head to the ground with a thud.

"Then why don't you get out of here!"

Bai Xiaoxiao frowned, then pointed at Kui Ming: "Your Highness wants him to serve the medicine."

Kui Ming looked at her silently.

Bai Xiaoxiao also stiffened her neck and looked at him.

for a long time.

Finally, Kui Ming lowered his eyelashes first. He came to the couch and took the ointment handed to him by the maid. He half-knelt in front of her and dipped his fingertips in the black ointment. He frowned slightly, looked for the burn wound, and then pressed his fingertips directly on it.

"ah!"

Bai Xiaoxiao screamed out in pain with all her might. She slapped Kui Ming's hand away and said, "How did you apply the medicine? Do you know how painful it is? Are you deliberately taking revenge on me?"

Kui Ming was stunned: "No."

"I don't want to listen, I ...!"

Bai Xiaoxiao covered her ears and said, "I order you to apply all the remaining stinky ointments to the wound. Your Highness will also make you feel the burning pain!"

[Meow, I’m so tired. My heart is so tired.]

Kui Ming looked at the plaster thrown at him without moving.

"Get out, get out, everyone get out."

Bai Xiaoxiao blasted them impatiently: "Let him go out and wipe it himself, don't get in my eyes here."

The maidservant was worried: "But your injury..."

Bai Xiaoxiao was even more impatient: "No! I'm angry. Humph!"

She turned her back to them.

The footsteps gradually left.

Listening to the creaking sound of the carved door closing, Bai Xiaoxiao let out a silent sigh. The incense burning in the hall had a sleeping effect. As she smelled it, her eyelids slowly closed unconsciously.

A quiet, alone room where you let your guard down.

She didn't know how long she had slept, but she felt that the light of the night pearl had dimmed a lot, and there seemed to be faint thunder outside.

“Wow!”

Bai Xiaoxiao was startled by the figure standing in front of her: "Why are you here?"

A young boy in black stood quietly in front of the couch, his back to the light making it difficult to see his expression, but his straight back and slightly obedient black hair made him look like a silent guardian knight.

He leaned slightly to the side, letting the soft light dispel some of the gloom and depression.

"It's thundering."

He said slowly.

Bai Xiaoxiao was a little confused: "I... of course I knew it was going to thunder, what does it have to do with you?"

Kui Ming looked at her: "You will be scared."

Bai Xiaoxiao laughed: "What a joke! Your Highness is omnipotent, how could I be afraid of such a mere person..."

Boom——!

"What!"

'She' was indeed afraid.

When I hear thunder, I subconsciously cover my ears.

There was fear in Bai Xiaoxiao's eyes, but her heart was very calm.

[Goodness me, this arrogant little thing is actually afraid of thunder. Never mind, I'll just be afraid. Big Brother wouldn't take advantage of me and slash my neck with a knife...]

[This is really possible! ]

Bai Xiaoxiao suddenly became really scared.

Kui Ming stood quietly in front of the couch without moving.

The second thunder sounded.

Bai Xiaoxiao screamed and was about to curl up in the quilt, but she was leaning towards the outer couch. Kui Ming saw that the little girl was too scared to sit up straight, so he reached out and grabbed her.

The third thunder and the fourth thunder sounded one after another.

Bai Xiaoxiao screamed and shrieked, her body curled up and twisted around.

Kui Ming was very confused.

The sister in front of me doesn't look like a sister.

It seemed as if it was not afraid of thunder, but the sound it made was louder than ever before.

Isn't she my sister?

But if she is not my sister, who is she?

Looking at the little girl rolling back and forth without caring about anything, Kui Ming silently and tentatively held her in his arms and gently patted her back to comfort her.

Bai Xiaoxiao also put her arms around his waist without hesitation.

The sound of "fear" came from his mouth one after another.

She even wondered if her voice would become hoarse from shouting.

Taking advantage of the pause in the thunder, she closed her eyes and tried to sleep.

I thought that when I fell asleep I wouldn’t have to worry about my ruined image.

But she had just woken up and had slept for most of the day.

[I can't sleep, what should I do? My eyes are wide as bells right now. Any music would get the whole place excited. How can I sleep? Can I just pretend to sleep? But 'she' won't cooperate...]

"Well."

Bai Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a pain in her neck.

Kui Ming withdrew his hand from her neck and blinked gently at the little girl sleeping in his arms.

so,

That's fine.

…

…

It's three o'clock in the morning.

Bai Xiaoxiao slowly woke up.

It was still dark outside the window, but much brighter than the night before. She turned her head, the back of her neck aching intensely. A pair of warm, cool hands reached for her shoulders, their thumbs pressing and kneading the aching skin, neither too hard nor too soft, and the pain gradually subsided.

With a long sigh of comfort, she turned her head and met a pair of clean eyes.

"Why are you still here!"

Bai Xiaoxiao was shocked.

Seeing that she was no longer uncomfortable, Kui Ming silently withdrew his hand.

He stood upright in front of the couch, complementing the silent guarding knight.

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at him: "You, didn't stand there all night, did you?"

"Yeah." Kui Ming nodded lightly.

"you……"

[Are you stupid? Who would stay up all night to watch over me?]

Bai Xiaoxiao coughed lightly: "You...meddle in other people's business!"

After saying that, he slapped his lips silently.

[Great, another day of double-acting.]

Bai Xiaoxiao re-adjusted her aura: "Don't think that I will be grateful to you just because you stand by my bedside for one night. I am telling you, no matter what you do, I will never recognize you. I have everything I want, but I will never admit that a fool is my brother!"

So, don't be so stupid from now on. You can't even tell friend from foe and just stand there all night. Oh, of course, it's your sister, but even if your dad treats you badly and bullies you all the time, do you still want to take care of him in his old age? Just be nicer to yourself.

"Um."

Kui Ming responded indifferently again.

Bai Xiaoxiao felt that their 'brother-sister bond' was completely destroyed. She tilted her head and pointed towards the door, "Get out."
