Ye Zhiwei was also a little flustered, so she immediately stood aside.
Why do I always feel like I've taken liberties with Jiang Jianian?
He was the one who asked her if she could help apply the medicine!
Ye Zhiwei took a deep breath, "Then you can apply the medicine yourself?"
Jiang Jianian straightened his clothes and said calmly, "No need, it's nothing serious."
He didn't seem to care much.
Ye Zhiwei finally realized that Jiang Jianian had often not fought back when Jiang Yanqiang abused him. He had physically overpowered his father and was not the delicate and weak boy she had imagined.
After watching Jiang Jianian and Ji Shuli's back-and-forth exchange, and then seeing Jiang Jianian's slender figure, which was different from what she had imagined, Ye Zhiwei had no doubt that Jiang Jianian could completely subdue Jiang Yanqiang with violence.
But the novel gave her the impression that Jiang Jianian seemed to be using a scalpel more throughout the entire process? So violence could no longer bring the male protagonist happiness, and anatomy was more enjoyable?
Ye Zhiwei fell into deep thought about her fantasies.
Jiang Jianian had already straightened his clothes and was about to take the medicine from Ye Zhiwei and put it in the medicine box when Ye Zhiwei subconsciously took a step back before he could reach out his hand far.
Jiang Jianian stared at Ye Zhiwei and chuckled.
Ye Zhiwei swore she absolutely did not take a step back on purpose; it was a conditioned reflex, a reaction her body made first!
Ye Zhiwei immediately tried to salvage the situation, hurriedly handing the medicine back to Jiang Jianian.
She felt that her image as a vicious and arrogant young lady was crumbling.
Jiang Jianian took the medicine bottle from Ye Zhiwei without saying anything, put the cap back on, and put it in the medicine box.
Ye Zhiwei was even more embarrassed.
That damn Ji Shuli is still smoking outside at this hour. Inside, it's just Ye Zhiwei and Jiang Jianian. Ye Zhiwei can't stand the awkward atmosphere. After a while, she said to Jiang Jianian, trying to make conversation, "Um, I don't really like it when people touch me. I just instinctively dodged. Jiang Jianian, don't misunderstand."
“Isn’t it because of fear?” Jiang Jianian said.
Did he really have to be so blunt?!
Ye Zhiwei was speechless for a moment after being cornered by Jiang Jianian. She gave a dry laugh and awkwardly explained, "What am I afraid of? What's there to be afraid of? You're not some wild beast, you won't eat people—"
Jiang Jianian laughed again. He looked at Ye Zhiwei and said, word by word, "I am not some kind of wild beast, nor do I eat people. I am just a guest in your Ye family. I am also curious about what is so scary about me."
Another silence followed.
Ye Zhiwei was speechless for a moment. Every time she tried to make a joke, Jiang Jianian would speak bluntly, his words carrying a domineering tone that left Ye Zhiwei no room for resistance.
Damn.
Why was she being pressed so aggressively by Jiang Jianian?
Ye Zhiwei looked up at Jiang Jianian, wanting to retort forcefully, but the moment she met Jiang Jianian's gaze, she immediately cowered. Then she saw Ji Shuli.
"My cousin is here!"
Ye Zhiwei's mood instantly brightened. She happily ran to Ji Shuli's side and asked, "Cousin, why did you go out to smoke for so long? You're not allowed to smoke when you're with me anymore!"
Having regained Ye Zhiwei's favor, Ji Shuli had no idea what had happened to Ye Zhiwei. He ruffled Ye Zhiwei's hair and laughed, "Why are you still like a little clingy child?"
Ji Shuli teased Ye Zhiwei, then looked at Jiang Jianian with some pride: "My cousin is so clingy to me. These days, all young girls are so clingy to their brothers."
