Chapter 70: Fear
Li Jingshen reached out and touched him lightly, and Shen Zhichu's whole body stiffened instantly, tightening at a speed visible to the naked eye.
That place was Shen Zhichu's sensitive spot. When Li Jingshen touched it, she felt like she was electrocuted. Her face flushed with shame, and she moved drastically to avoid him, falling directly into the water. She choked on her saliva, felt chest tightness, stomach pain, and felt a little nauseous.
Li Jingshen hugged her and said, "Why are you moving around?"
Shen Zhichu rubbed his sore eyes and struggled to squeeze out a sound from between his teeth: "Li Jingshen, can you please not touch me casually?"
It's hard not to be moved by the warmth and beauty in his arms. Li Jingshen's expression was much softer than usual. Looking at the woman in his arms puffing up like a hamster, he said with a smile: "So what if I touched her?"
"Disgusting." The disgust in Shen Zhichu's eyes was exposed nakedly.
Li Jingshen retracted the curve of his mouth, stared at her red eyes, and said in a cold and indifferent voice: "You feel disgusted when I touch you, then I will touch you all over. Will you cut off my hands or peel off your own skin?"
As the words fell, Shen Zhichu watched Li Jingshen's face become gloomier and gloomier, and the oppressive coldness almost poured down on her.
Shen Zhichu clenched his hands, completely ignoring the injuries on his hands. The gauze was soaked with water and turned red.
Li Jingshen saw it and immediately let go of her waist to check her hand, where blood was flowing out.
Not sure if he was frightened by what Li Jingshen had just said, but Shen Zhichu's whole body became very stiff. His cheeks, which had just been rosy, turned pale under the light. He looked embarrassed and dejected, his shoulders trembled slightly, and the water in his hair dripped down his eyelids.
Li Jingshen looked at her like this and was unable to utter a word. He let the anger surge in his chest, with nowhere to vent it.
After they sat in silence for a while, Li Jing took a deep breath, reached out and took off the towel to cover her head: "I just want to see the injury on your spine."
There was a red spot on the spine. It must have been hit somewhere. The injury was quite serious.
"Don't think I don't know what you're going to do." Shen Zhichu bit her lip, tears suddenly running out, "Does that look of yours mean you're hurt?"
He also said he would give her a bath. On the surface, he seemed to be a good person, but in fact, he took advantage of her many times. Why didn't she see Li Jingshen's rogue side before?
Li Jingshen paused, "Of course not, do you think I want to give you a bath? It's so dirty!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhichu pulled off the towel from his head and pointed at the bathroom door in anger: "Then get out, right now, please leave!"
Only then did Li Jingshen see the tear marks on Shen Zhichu's face, and his heart was inexplicably pulled.
If anyone dared to treat him like this under normal circumstances, he would have turned his face away and walked away on the spot, but now, facing Shen Zhichu's stubborn little face, he couldn't bear to leave her behind.
He stood up, and just when Shen Zhichu thought he was going to leave, Li Jingshen pulled a bath towel around her and picked her up.
The sudden feeling of being suspended in the air made her unable to help but grab Li Jingshen's wet clothes.
Li Jingshen carried Shen Zhichu back to the bedroom and put her on the bed. Knowing that she was afraid of the cold, he lifted the quilt and covered her.
"Don't lie down so quickly. I'll get some medicine to treat your wound."
As expected, Chen Zhichu did not move again, as if he had found a real harbor and huddled inside obediently.
Li Jingshen took out the medicine box from the cabinet and took out scissors, iodine, cotton swabs and gauze.
He squatted in front of Shen Zhichu and carefully cut the gauze on her knee. Fortunately, her leg was not wet and the wound did not bleed.
The most serious injury was her right hand. She was stabbed by glass yesterday and was exposed to water while cooking today. Not only did the wound not heal, it was also a little inflamed, and tissue fluid was oozing from the bloody wound.
Li Jingshen's jawline was tense. He didn't expect Shen Zhichu to be injured so seriously. When iodine was sprayed on her, her body trembled uncontrollably.
Chen Zhichu's hands were very beautiful, with slender fingers like the finest mutton-fat jade, each very slender. But now such a large scar suddenly appeared on his hand, instantly destroying all the beauty.
Li Jingshen used a cotton swab to remove the tissue fluid from the wound and asked, "Does it hurt?"
"How can this little pain compare to the pain of you kneeling on the glass again and again?" Shen Zhichu's eyes gradually turned as cold as ice from the angle that Li Jingshen couldn't see. She said indifferently, "The injury is not on you, how can you understand how painful it is?"
It was like he knew she would get hurt and was afraid of pain, but he still let her get hurt again and again.
Now Li Jingshen pretends to care about her and asks her, "Does it hurt?" Does he think that this can offset all the pain she has experienced?
Wounds to the flesh can be healed with medicine, but injuries to the bones will cause pain every time it rains.
Shen Zhichu didn't seem to be mocking Li Jingshen. She wanted to take revenge on Li Jingshen by making him fall in love with her, but she really couldn't think of him as she did in the past.
She didn't know whether she had changed or Li Jingshen had changed.
What she once thought she could pursue recklessly, she now considers a daunting task.
There were many things that Li Jingshen thought were nothing, but Shen Zhichu remembered them very clearly, like scars deep enough to see the bone.
