Qi Shen had planned to have Fang Zhi memorize some more words tonight, but it was getting late, so he had to give up.
He silently crossed out his mental plan and added today's vocabulary learning to tomorrow's.
"Brother." Fang Zhi took out the bank card Qi Lian'an had given him from his pocket. "This is for you."
Qi Shen looked at her quietly, without moving an inch. "Since it's for Zhizhi, Zhizhi should just accept it."
“But…” Fang Zhi scratched her head, “I don’t need these.” She knew that there was money in the card Uncle Qi gave her, which she could withdraw.
But she doesn't have any expenses right now.
Qi Shen pondered for a moment and accepted the card. At her age, a silver card was indeed useless. "I'll keep it for Zhizhi for now. You can ask your brother for it when you need it."
After saying that, he opened the drawer, took out several large red bills, and handed them to Fang Zhi.
"These are from your brother for Zhizhi, you can take them."
He added gently, "You can't refuse."
Fang Zhi clutched the money, instinctively wanting to thank him, but swallowed the words back. She smiled gently, her beautiful face saying, "Brother is the most important person to Zhi Zhi."
The child's words, though innocent, were sincere and touched Qi Shen's heart.
Looking into those unguarded, clear, and dark eyes, his heart seemed to skip a beat.
Qi Shen's eyes darkened, and his silent demeanor exuded an aloof and indifferent air.
Fang Zhi was startled by his appearance and couldn't help but worry that she had said something wrong.
Seeing the girl's helplessness and nervousness, Qi Shen quickly regained his composure, and a gentle smile returned to his handsome face.
He picked up the scar-removing medicine that Cheng Shiyan had brought back, squatted down beside Fang Zhi's legs, and said softly, "Zhi Zhi, don't move."
Fang Zhi hesitated, "Brother, what's wrong?"
"Apply the scar-removing medicine to Zhizhi." The boy rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong arms. His porcelain-white skin made the veins on his arms stand out. He gently pushed Fang Zhi's school pants up to her knees.
"Zhizhi is a beautiful girl, so she shouldn't have any unsightly scars on her body."
Qi Shen's voice was gentle and soothing, like a breeze and a bright moon, conveying boundless tenderness and patience.
Putting aside his dark side, Qi Shen is a top hunter who is extremely good at disguising himself. He can easily make his prey lower their guard, become addicted to him without them even realizing it, and then dismember and devour him.
Fang Zhi was both happy and embarrassed when she heard his praise; it turned out that her brother thought she was very beautiful. Unlike the compliments from her classmates, she cared more about her brother's opinion of her.
She chuckled to herself and whispered, "Brother, aren't you going to trouble yourself too much? I can apply it myself."
Qi Shenwen said softly, "I'll apply a little for Zhizhi, and the rest will be given to Wang Ma."
This wasn't the first time he'd seen the injuries on her legs; Wang Ma had also personally described the injuries on Fang Zhi's body, including her back.
Each time he saw it, his desire to get rid of her adoptive mother deepened, but he couldn't rush things.
Let's wait and see; we'll have to settle the score and interest eventually.
Whether it's a young girl or an adult woman, everyone feels happy when praised, especially when praised by someone important.
Thinking of Qi Shen's praise just now.
Fang Zhi pursed her lips and finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother, do you really think Zhizhi is pretty?"
The girl's sudden question surprised Qi Shen, and he chuckled softly.
"Of course, in my brother's eyes, Zhizhi is the most beautiful."
The bright moonlight added a touch of sanctity to the night, and the hot summer breeze rustled through the flowers, plants, and trees in the courtyard.
The bedroom was warm and quiet. The young man lowered his head, and stray hairs fell down, obscuring his handsome and refined face.
Time seems to have drawn a watershed at this moment, separating the past from the future.
Warm fingertips gently and evenly applied the cool medicine to her scars, only then did she feel a slight itch.
She didn't move, enduring the restless itch, and quietly watched Qi Shen.
"Alright." Qi Shen withdrew his hand, stood up straight, and looked at her. "Zhizhi, wait for your brother here. Don't move around."
"Hmm?" Fang Zhi looked up and met Qi Shen's gaze, somewhat puzzled. "Brother, does this mean I can't move after applying this medicine?"
He smiled, said nothing, turned and went to the washroom, where the sound of running water came from the sink.
A minute later, the boy came out with wet hands.
He walked to his desk, picked up a tissue, and slowly wiped his hands clean.
Noticing that the girl was staring at him intently, Qi Shen smiled slightly and explained, "I just finished applying medicine to my leg, so don't put your pants down yet. I'll carry Zhizhi back to her room."
Fang Zhi then realized what was happening, her face flushed slightly, a hint of embarrassment flashing across her cheeks, and she softly said "Oh".
Qi Shen easily picked her up and carried her to the bedroom before leaving.
The villa's corridor lights were on, and when Wang Ma went upstairs, she saw the young man standing at the door of Fang Zhi's bedroom.
"Young Master, you wanted to see me?"
"Hmm." Qi Shen nodded slightly, politely. "There's scar removal medicine in Zhizhi's room. There are some areas she can't reach, so I'll trouble Wang Ma to apply the medicine for her every day from now on."
"Yes." Wang Ma couldn't help but admire the young master's good character. "I'll go and help Miss Zhizhi wash up and apply the medicine right away."
"Okay." Qi Shen moved aside to make room for Wang Ma. "Go ahead."
Qi Shen turned and left after the bedroom door opened and closed once.
......
As he came out of the bathroom, Fang Zhi, wrapped in a bath towel and lying on the bed, turned to the woman beside the bed and whispered, "Aunt Wang, my leg doesn't need treatment. My brother has already applied the medicine for me."
Aunt Wang was taken aback for a moment, then said half-jokingly, "Young Master cares more about Miss Zhizhi than his younger brother."
"Younger brother?" Fang Zhi repeated, "Does the older brother have a younger brother?"
"Yes, the young master's name is Qi Chen, and he is about the same age as you. He is the younger brother of Young Master Qi Shen."
