Nan Zhiyun closed her eyes in despair. Yu Jingchen picked up the ointment beside him and, seeing Nan Zhiyun's resolute attitude, he didn't find it funny at all.
He scooped out the ointment and gently applied it to Nan Zhiyun's wound. It was cool and refreshing, but Nan Zhiyun was still sweating profusely from the pain. However, she didn't dare to make a sound.
"Does it hurt a lot? If it hurts, don't hold it in. You can cry it out or shout it out. Don't hold it in." Yu Jingchen took a handkerchief and wiped away the tears that Nan Zhiyun was crying from the pain.
"It's alright, don't be afraid," Yu Jingchen offered a rare moment of comfort.
But Nan Zhiyun seemed to have shut herself off, biting her lip and not daring to make a sound.
"Be good, don't bite my lip, let go," Yu Jingchen said after noticing.
Nan Zhiyun loosened her grip on her mouth, which was already dry, and now Nan Zhiyun had bitten it open.
Yu Jingchen was quite quick, and soon he had applied the medicine to Nan Zhiyun.
"Alright," Yu Jingchen said, then put down the ointment and pulled Nan Zhiyun's clothes up again.
Nan Zhiyun sat there, not daring to move.
"Would you like some water?" Yu Jingchen asked.
Nan Zhiyun shook her head.
However, Yu Jingchen still went to the table to the side and poured Nan Zhiyun a glass of water.
"Have some water," Yu Jingchen said, handing the water to Nan Zhiyun.
Nan Zhiyun hesitated for a moment before slowly reaching out to take the cup from Yu Jingchen's hands, but even after taking it, he still seemed hesitant to drink.
"Drink if you want, there's no poison in it," Yu Jingchen said with a hint of helplessness.
Nan Zhiyun then carefully placed the cup to her lips and drank all the water.
"Would you like more?" Yu Jingchen asked.
Nan Zhiyun paused for a moment before shaking her head, and Yu Jingchen's lips curved into a handsome smile. Then he went over and poured a glass for Nan Zhiyun.
"Just say you want some water, what are you afraid of?" How could Yu Jingchen not see through Nan Zhiyun's little scheme?
Nan Zhiyun held the cup with both hands without saying a word, and silently finished the water. This time, Yu Jingchen didn't ask any more questions, and after Nan Zhiyun finished drinking the water, he didn't make any further moves.
Nan Zhiyun was still holding the cup in her hand, but she didn't dare to look up or speak. She just held the cup in her hand, not knowing what to do.
Yu Jingchen just watched her, wanting to see what this girl would do and how long she could hold out.
Nan Zhiyun held the empty water cup in both hands, not daring to lift her head, looking as if she had suffered some injustice.
Hmm... how should I put it? The atmosphere is just a bit awkward, but it's only Nan Zhiyun who feels awkward.
"What's wrong? Haven't you finished drinking yet?" Yu Jingchen asked deliberately.
Nan Zhiyun remained silent.
"After you finish this cup of water, are you planning to keep it as a souvenir? Or are you just going to take it? But I don't think this cup is worth much, and it originally belonged to He'an Palace." Yu Jingchen even had the leisure to make a joke.
Nan Zhiyun became somewhat uneasy after hearing these words.
"Perhaps we should just carry that pot of tea; it looks more valuable," Yu Jingchen added.
