Just as she was about to complain, Xu Zhaoyue noticed the bandaging techniques on the other people's bodies. It was correct; this was Yue Lanxing's own problem. Once Xu Zhaoyue realized this, her eyes immediately changed.
Yue Lanxing noticed the change in the young lady's eyes. He glanced at his arm and then covered it with his hand. "Young lady, we have completed the mission. I brought back a group of people and are waiting for your next instructions."
He spoke in a grand and righteous tone, but he was actually feigning pitifulness with his eyes. He would lower his head, raise his eyes, and add a touch of moisture to his expression, making him look quite pathetic.
Yue Lanxing was trying to tell the young lady with her eyes that she was already injured, so there was no need to criticize her in front of so many people, okay?
Xu Zhaoyue was momentarily speechless under such scrutiny. Besides, she was preoccupied with worrying about his injury, so how could she possibly criticize him? After glancing at Yue Lanxing, Xu Zhaoyue looked at the others.
After this period of training, the bodyguards have lined up in two orderly rows. Xu Zhaohao is looking at their injuries, and each of them is holding their heads high and chests out, treating these injuries as medals.
Xu Zhaoyue also circled around, observing the people's appearance. Her eyes were shining. Xu Zhaoyue admired them in her heart, thinking, "With such a spirit, what can't they accomplish?"
"Everyone has worked hard. I've already had everyone prepared. You can go and rest now. I will definitely reward you for your efforts. Xiao Nan and Xu Shun, you two take your men over there." A reward must be given for completing a task; only then can you retain people's loyalty.
"Yes, Miss." Xiao Nan led them to the back.
They all went over, only Yue Lanxing stayed behind. "I see they all have several cuts on their bodies, but you only got one cut on your arm. No wonder my sister chose you as her housekeeper, you're amazing." Xu Zhaohao gave a thumbs up.
Yue Lanxing didn't mention that her injury was from taking a knife for someone else; she simply nodded slightly and said, "The injuries we sustained were all minor, nothing serious."
"If you have any questions, you should let people in first!" Xu Zhaoyue interrupted their conversation as she saw Xiao Hao asking all sorts of questions.
Xu Zhaohao only then realized that they were still standing outside. "Alright, alright, let's go inside. Tell me what happened. The battle must have been extremely intense."
After entering the room, Xu Zhaohao and Yue Lanxing engaged in a question-and-answer session. Yue Lanxing was telling the truth, but to Xu Zhaohao, it was unbelievable. He had never been involved in a fight before, and had even rarely been involved in combat.
After chatting for an hour, Xu Zhaohao reluctantly left. Of course, he didn't want to leave, but if he didn't, Xu Zhaoyue's gaze would be piercing his face.
After Xu Zhaohao brought Xu Shun back, Xu Zhaoyue glanced at Yue Lanxing, who was sitting on the sofa with her head down, as if reflecting on her mistakes, and said, "Come upstairs with me."
"Huh?" Yue Lanxing looked up in surprise at the young lady's actions of getting up, but she didn't ask any questions and followed her up. Xiao Nan was carrying the first-aid kit, which Xu Zhaoyue had instructed her to do beforehand.
Opening the study door, Xu Zhaoyue asked Xiaonan to leave the first-aid kit behind, and then went downstairs to get some things.
"What are you still standing there for? Bring the stuff over and apply the medicine." Xu Zhaoyue was sitting in a chair near the window. Seeing that Yue Lanxing was still standing there, she pointed at the box and patted another chair next to her, signaling him to come over.
Yue Lanxing's mind was blank, but his body had already picked up the first-aid kit and walked over. Only after sitting down did he realize that the young lady was going to bandage him. Just as Xu Zhaoyue was about to raise her hand to open the first-aid kit, Yue Lanxing got up from the chair and took a step outside.
"What's wrong?" Xu Zhaoyue was startled by his actions at first, but she immediately asked him why. Yue Lanxing's Adam's apple bobbed as he said, "Miss, this is not a job for you. I can handle it myself."
Xu Zhaoyue was amused by his nervous appearance. "No way, I'm not going to eat you. Sit back down and take off your clothes. It's obvious you wrapped them with one hand. Let me fix them for you."
Yue Lanxing was still standing there, having the young lady bandage his wounds was something he never dared to even think about. Just as he was about to speak, Xu Zhaoyue also stood up, "Hurry up, don't make me say it a third time."
Xu Zhaoyue had already crossed her arms in front of her chest. If Yue Lanxing refused again, she would go up and do it herself. With her allergies and obsessive-compulsive disorder, how could she possibly treat the wound properly?
Seeing the young lady's serious expression, Yue Lanxing felt as if he were immersed in gentle cotton. He finally stopped resisting, took off his coat and hung it on the chair, revealing the clothes underneath. He had already torn off one sleeve.
Seeing that he was being sensible, Xu Zhaoyue took out various medicines and placed them in front of her, and began to treat his wounds. She was about to use scissors to cut off the original gauze, but after cutting it off, Xu Zhaoyue became even angrier.
Xu Zhaoyue could tell from the wound that it wasn't deep at first, but it seemed that only iodine was used when it was treated, and it was hard to say whether alcohol was used. As expected, the wound was not completely treated, but Yue Lanxing had been making excuses earlier.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhaoyue picked up a cotton swab, dipped it in alcohol, and pressed it onto his wound. "Hiss!" Yue Lanxing instinctively made a sound, but seeing that the young lady's expression was not good, he held back.
Xu Zhaoyue pressed down twice more, seeing Yue Lanxing's expression of wanting to scream but not daring to, almost covering her mouth with her hand, "What? Do you know it hurts now? If you don't treat it carefully, it will hurt even more later." Although she said this, she lightened the pressure on her hands.
Every now and then, Xu Zhaoyue would fan herself with her hand to help the medicine dry faster as she patiently bandaged the wound. Once Yue Lanxing could no longer feel the pain, she turned around to watch Xu Zhaoyue's actions.
