Xia Wan clutched the blanket, her clear, bright eyes fixed on Cui Ziqi's face as if she were looking at an alien creature.
When did she start to dislike him?
Moreover, she hasn't even said she forgave him, so why was she forced to apologize?
She pulled the blanket tighter around herself. She felt very awkward and insecure talking to Cui Ziqi while completely naked.
She moved her lips slightly, "Go and get me some pajamas first."
Cui Ziqi frowned, clearly unhappy with her changing the subject.
But he still got up and went to the dressing room.
After tossing a set of pink pajamas to Xia Wan, Xia Wan gestured for him to leave.
He gave her a deep look before turning and leaving the bedroom. He stood at the doorway, gazing at the group of people on the living room sofa.
Zuo Cheng and the doctors quickly got up.
Seeing that Cui Ziqi looked unwell, Tang Xiao assumed that something had happened to the people inside.
"Young Master Cui, shall I check on Miss Xia's condition again?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Ziqi's gaze shot towards him like an icy blade.
Tang Xiao quickly shut up.
Standing there nervously, unable to fathom Cui Ziqi's thoughts.
"Tang Xiao, you can stay. The rest of you may leave."
Cui Ziqi spoke coldly.
The doctors felt as if they had been granted a pardon and quickly packed their things to leave, giving Tang Xiao a look of farewell as they went.
Tang Xiao stared longingly in the direction the group had left.
He also wanted to go back to be with his girlfriend...
Cui Ziqi looked at Zuo Cheng and said, "Go and find out who attacked Xia Wan at the movie theater today."
Unexpectedly, someone dared to harm Brother Qi's people right under his nose.
Zuo Cheng's expression immediately turned serious. He nodded to Cui Ziqi, turned around, and left the apartment.
The huge living room was suddenly empty except for Tang Xiao.
They met eyes with Cui Ziqi, who had been standing at the master bedroom door like a guardian angel.
"Young Master Cui, then I..."
"Wait, you can leave when she's alright."
She's actually alright now...
Tang Xiao dared not say.
It seemed like there was movement coming from the bedroom. Cui Ziqi's expression tightened, and she turned to go into the room.
But just as he was about to turn the handle, he seemed to remember something and tapped the door with his knuckles.
Only when a woman's clear voice called "Come in" came from inside did Cui Ziqi open the door and go in.
Seeing this, Tang Xiao's jaw almost dropped to the ground.
Is this the Cui Ziqi he knows?
Well-behaved and polite.
Isn't it strange to have these labels applied to Cui Ziqi?
Cui Ziqi returned to the bedroom.
Xia Wan had already put on the long pink nightgown. She sat on the bed, almost blending into the pink bed. Her pale face was flushed with pink, finally showing some vitality.
Like an elf who fell to earth because of injury.
At this moment, the elf stretched out her slender white hand and patted the edge of the bed. As her pale lips opened and closed, her clear voice slowly flowed out from between her teeth.
"Come sit here, I'll apologize to you."
Cui Ziqi frowned, using almost all her strength to suppress the violent pounding of her heart that had just occurred.
He pretended to be calm and sat on the edge of the bed, consciously maintaining a safe distance from her.
"Apologize, I'm listening." He crossed his arms, his back to Xia Wan, his voice carrying a hint of arrogance.
It seemed as if he was trying to hide some emotion.
Xia Wan tilted her head, trying to see his face, but could only vaguely see his tense profile, with clear and smooth contours, long eyelashes, and black pupils that shone with a star-like light of anticipation under the lamplight.
A smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.
Little pervert, but so cute.
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you just now." She didn't mince words. "And I wasn't looking down on you, I was just angry."
While she was getting dressed, she saw the blood-stained clothes that had been thrown on the ground.
She felt a little guilty about misunderstanding Cui Ziqi earlier.
Cui Ziqi turned to look at her, his eyes filled with scrutiny.
"You're really not complaining?"
"Of course not, what kind of eyes do you have!"
Xia Wan swore that she was just angry about Cui Ziqi's actions of abandoning her and taking off her clothes!
Cui Ziqi gazed intently at her face, and seeing her sincerity, his expression gradually softened.
I'll trust you this once.
Xia Wan: ……
Anyone who didn't know better would think she had made a huge mistake.
Cui Ziqi suddenly moved to her side, grabbed her wrist, and forced her closer to him.
"Don't let me see that look in your eyes again."
He was subjected to all sorts of malicious stares from a young age.
He didn't want to see any ill will towards him in Xia Wan's eyes.
Even if it's a misunderstanding, it's unacceptable!
Xia Wan regained her composure at this moment. Seeing how much Cui Ziqi cared about that look, she was confused, but gradually understood.
He's probably insecure.
She looked at the face so close to hers, her eyes crinkling, "Okay, then can I look at you with love from now on?"
Cui Ziqi pursed his lips, watching her put on the mask called "love for him" again.
A sense of powerlessness crept into my limbs, and an indescribable bitterness and indignation welled up in my heart.
He released Xia Wan, turned around, and said sullenly, "Whatever!"
Xia Wan was surprised.
She thought that if she said that, the little pervert would blush and call her a female hooligan.
Unexpectedly, the little pervert went along with her.
Did she really scare him just now?
A sudden wave of dizziness washed over her. She clutched her head, unable to think deeply about why Cui Ziqi was acting this way.
Hearing the noise behind him, Cui Ziqi turned around and saw Xia Wan covering her head in pain.
"Does your wound hurt?" He placed his hand on the back of her hand, which was covering her head, and examined the wound on her forehead before speaking urgently, "The doctor is outside the door, I'll go get him."
Xia Wan grabbed Cui Ziqi's hand, "I'm fine. No injury doesn't hurt. I'll be fine after another nap. You can let the doctor go home first."
Cui Ziqi frowned, disagreeing with her statement.
However, he did not immediately refute Xia Wan's words. Instead, he helped Xia Wan lie down, sat by the bed and watched her fall asleep before calling Tang Xiao in.
Tang Xiao was sitting on the sofa, feeling drowsy, but Cui Ziqi's sudden shout woke him up almost completely.
After receiving the order to check on Xia Wan's injuries.
He went in immediately to check.
"Young Master Cui, Miss Xia is alright now."
"She has a headache."
"...It's normal for it to hurt since the injury is on the head. How about I prescribe some painkillers for you to take to relieve the pain?"
Cui Ziqi finally nodded.
After Tang Xiao prescribed painkillers, Cui Ziqi finally let him leave.
He and Xia Wan were left alone in the bedroom again.
Cui Ziqi isn't very good at taking care of patients; to be precise, he's not good at taking care of people.
He went out and poured a glass of warm water. Looking at Xia Wan's sleeping face, he couldn't bear to wake her up.
He thought for a moment, then threw the painkiller into warm water. After it dissolved, he took a sip of water and held it in his mouth.
Looking at Xia Wan's slightly parted lips as she slept, he leaned down, pinched her chin, and forced her to tilt her head back. He covered her lips with that soft layer and gently transferred the medicine to her.
