As soon as Jiang Xi got the cotton cloth soaked in well water, his heart suddenly fell to the ground and he felt at ease.
Sun Ting carefully wiped Jiang Xi's forehead, neck, armpits, and knees with her cotton sleeves. She looked at Jiang Xi's methodical movements, thinking about something.
Jiang Xi didn't notice her gaze, but instead his eyes fell on the boy's half-open collar. On his fair and delicate skin, the red marks of adult fingers crisscrossed, which was shocking at first glance.
She paused for a moment, then continued as if nothing had happened, until the cotton cloth was warm, then soaked it in water, wrung it out, and rubbed it again, repeating this over and over again.
The female college student squatted and watched quietly for a while, then turned around and pushed the door to go to the main room.
"The stream—"
Jiang Xi stopped and looked up. Sun Ting reached out and grabbed her slightly curled left hand and asked, "What's wrong with your left hand?"
Oops, we've been discovered.
Not really. Jiang Xi wasn't really panicking at all. He just frowned slightly and acted as if nothing had happened. He shook his head and said, "Nothing. I just scraped a little bit."
"Sister...?" At this moment, the boy lying on his back opened his eyes. He had a pair of clear, glass-like eyes, moist from the intense heat. He looked at people with an unusually gentle and well-behaved demeanor, a stark contrast to his usual rebellious nature. "Is it my sister who has been taking care of me?"
"Ding—Congratulations to the host! Five more days of popularity points. Do you want to enable the 'visible only to me' function?"
Visible only to myself?
High technology.
The soft leaves of the bodhi heart grass gently scratched Jiang Xi's left palm. She silently said in her heart: "Open."
"Sister?" The boy couldn't help but call out again when he saw his sister who was taking care of him sitting there in a daze.
The boy's soft voice, still young and immature, brushed past her ear. Jiang Xi came back to her senses in shock and subconsciously smiled to comfort him, "Sister, it's okay."
After all, he had lived two lives, so such a young child was like a generation apart to Jiang Xi. Even if he had a heart as hard as stone, he couldn't help but feel sympathy for this innocent boy who suffered - what's more, he was so handsome, so handsome that it was hard to tell whether he was a man or a woman, and he was too young to know the filthiness of adults in advance.
Sun Ting was completely oblivious to the misfortune that had befallen the boy. She was simply happy that he had woken up. Xiaoling and several younger children gathered around her, "Little brother is awake? That's great!"
The gratitude and joy expressed on those innocent faces were sincere and natural.
Jiang Xi lowered her shoulders, her heart feeling so heavy that it ached.
Perhaps the boy noticed the depression and loneliness at that moment. He tugged at Jiang Xi's clothes. Seeing Jiang Xi looking down at him, he immediately smiled kindly, "Sister, don't worry about me."
It’s so small...
Jiang Xi's eyes felt sore. He stood up awkwardly, wrung out the cotton cloth with clean water, and started wiping them again.
The boy shrank back shyly, but stopped when Jiang Xi scolded him harshly. He just looked at her with eyes full of admiration and gratitude.
A sigh came from somewhere in the breeze, and Jiang Xi thought dejectedly of the rabbit.
"Here, give it to—"
The female college student rushed out and came back in a hurry. When she rushed over, she stuffed something into Jiang Xi's hand. Jiang Xi lowered his head and saw the familiar words "Xiao Chaihu Granules". He looked up suddenly and asked, "Where did it come from?"
Although cold medicine is not quite effective for the condition, it can also help clear away heat and detoxify.
But in this place, the only people who can get this medicine are those human traffickers.
The female college student grinned sarcastically, "What the hell is it to you?"
"How can you talk like that?" Sun Ting pulled her sleeves to argue, but was stopped by Jiang Xi. She looked at the man in front of her with a complicated expression. The thin shirt could not cover her exquisite figure, and the exposed part of her waist was stained with blue and red. The posture of her legs when she walked was not very natural.
Jiang Xi wasn't a student who grew up in an ivory tower. He had a mature soul beneath his skin, but after just a few glances, he understood the female college student's plight clearly and couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
