Jiang Yi's nose was indeed very sore when Mo Xi pinched it like that, so sore that he wanted to cry. Only then did he realize that her expression was so rich and varied when he pinched her nose in the car earlier.
However, Xiao Moxi let go after pinching it for a moment. She didn't want to waste any time. After finishing her tutoring, she had to hurry home. Her mother had just arrived today, and she needed to go back early to talk to her.
"Why are you touching me?" He raised his hand and twisted his nose.
"To wake you up sooner, get back to your old age and catch up on your lessons."
"Uh, I'm tutoring you for free, but you're acting like I'm taking your money. That's not respectful of a teacher at all. Aren't you afraid I'll stop tutoring you?"
"You won't, you promised my sister-in-law." Moxi was betting that he wouldn't dare.
"Let me see yesterday's homework." He held out his hand to her.
Mersey took out an English notebook and handed it to him. "Write each word on a separate page, just like you said."
"So-so." He glanced at it and handed her the notebook. "Recite the words to me again, and then write them down from memory. Same rules as always. Don't make any mistakes at the end, or you'll be punished."
His old rule was to hit Moxi's palms with a pointer, so while he was tutoring her, he was also torturing her in every way possible. Sometimes, even when Moxi got everything right, he would still be a little unhappy.
Moxi stood in front of him, swaying her head as she recited English words. This subject was her weak point; everything else was pretty good. Because she always mispronounced words, Jiang Yi corrected her, and her pronunciation became more and more standard. After she finished reciting, she even received a thumbs-up from Jiang Yi.
Then, she carefully recited the English words from memory again.
Seeing how seriously she was writing, Jiang Yi didn't move. He sat on the small bed and looked at the woman writing opposite him. He thought to himself, "This wild girl has a pretty good figure. She has long legs, a slim waist, big breasts, and a perky butt. She's really cute with her clear and bright eyes. How come I never noticed her before?"
Previously, Moxi always wore loose clothes and pants, but after arriving in the provincial capital, she learned to dress like the city people, and her good figure became apparent.
Upon discovering that Moxi had once again achieved a perfect score on his dictation test, he suddenly said listlessly, "I don't need to teach you today. For math, you should memorize the formulas yourself first, and then apply those formulas to solve problems. As for Chinese, needless to say, you'll have to memorize it by rote. However, that's your strong suit, so I don't need to worry about it."
"Is that all for today's class?" Her eyes darted around, eager to get home.
"Class is over, but other things aren't finished yet."
"What's up?"
"I'll take you to see a doctor." He stood up and waved.
"Why would I see a doctor when I'm perfectly fine?"
"Didn't you get a scratch on your face?" He didn't know what happened, but he was especially afraid that the scratch would leave a mark on her little face.
"Didn't I apply medicine?" She didn't want to go; she just wanted to go home as soon as possible.
“That medicine might not work. Go see a professional doctor and get some scar removal medication. Aren’t you women the most concerned about your appearance?” He stared at her. “Aren’t you afraid of having unsightly scars left on your face?”
“I’m not that delicate.” Moxi rolled up his sleeves. “In our village, these kinds of scratches happen all the time. Look at my hands, I don’t know how many times they’ve been cut. They’re so smooth, are there any scars?”
Her movements, coupled with her words, made her appear even more radiant. He couldn't help but step forward, grasp her smooth, delicate wrist, and examine it for a long time, then gently stroked it for a while. "Hmm, there really are no marks."
"Can I go home now?" Moxi asked him happily, without thinking much of it, assuming he was checking her wounds, unaware that the man was taking the opportunity to enjoy the smoothness of her skin.
“No.” He lowered her sleeve. “A person’s face is their calling card. It’s better to be safe than sorry. What if you get scars on your face? What if you become ugly and can’t get married? I’ll have to take responsibility.”
No matter what Moxi said, he insisted on taking her to see a professional doctor for medication. Even though it was so late at night, the doctor on duty at the outpatient clinic said there was nothing wrong, but Jiang Yi still made the doctor prescribe oral anti-inflammatory drugs for Moxi, as well as ointment for applying, and even bought a cream to fade the marks.
Sitting in the car, Moxi looked through the medicines, complaining incessantly. "You rich people really make a fuss over nothing. It's just a minor injury, and you've prescribed medicine that costs ten dollars. If I had known, I would have just given you the money. I might not even know how to use these medicines if I took them home."
With a sharp sound, he stopped the car, snatched the medicine from her hand, examined it, and then took two anti-inflammatory pills, stuffing them directly into her mouth. "Take this medicine now."
Before Mersey could figure out what was happening, he roughly shoved the medicine into her mouth. Then, water from his military canteen was poured into her mouth. The medicine tasted slightly bitter, but as soon as the water came in, she swallowed it.
After swallowing the pills, Moxi shoved him hard, causing him to fall backward and spill water from the kettle all over his face and body. He yelled at her, "Are you crazy? You push me when I'm feeding you medicine?"
"You're the one who's sick." Xiao Moxi was so angry that her teeth itched. "You're the one who should take your medicine, not me. Jiang Yi, can you not be so domineering? I don't want to go to the hospital, but you insist on dragging me there. I don't want to take my medicine, but you force me to take it."
"No good deed goes unpunished." Jiang Yi took out a handkerchief to wipe the water from his face, but the water had already flowed down his cheeks and into his body, soaking his clothes. In this weather, wearing wet clothes was quite uncomfortable.
"It's you who's meddling in other people's business," Mersey rolled his eyes at him.
He rummaged through the car and found two dry towels, handing them to her. "You've caused this mess, so quickly put these dry towels on my back and chest, otherwise, if I get sick from the cold, there won't be anyone to tutor you."
"Don't you have your own hands?" Mo Xi thought to himself. You're a grown man, and you actually want me to put a towel under you? Besides, you want to put your hands under your back and under your chest? You're dreaming!
"Is it inconvenient?" Jiang Yi glared at her, holding a towel. "Hurry up and stuff it in for me. Are you going to take responsibility if I catch a cold?"
"It's not convenient for me either." She turned her face away, not wanting to talk to him.
With a "splash," he poured all the water from the kettle onto her back, feigning an accidental cry. "Oops, I accidentally got your clothes wet. Here, let me put a dry towel on your back."
"Jiang Yi." Mo Xi turned her head and glared at him, calling out his name through gritted teeth, "You did this on purpose, you bastard."
"Here, let me put a dry towel on you." He smiled victoriously, the towel in his hand waving in front of her eyes.
Enraged, Mersey grabbed a towel, shoved him down, and then straddled him, giving him a thorough beating.
Just hitting him wasn't enough; he also cursed at him while hitting him. "You tricked me! You tricked me! I'll beat you to death, you bastard, I'll beat you to death..."
When that wild girl got angry, she was really fierce. Jiang Yi didn't dare to provoke her anymore and shrank back to let her vent her anger.
In the midst of the fight, Jiang Yi, who had been cowering, suddenly pulled her into his arms...
