Chapter 40: Sprained her ankle, carried her into her room

Rong Jingchen went to take a shower first.

After washing, I went to knock on Ye Muqi's door.

"I'm done, you can go wash now."

"Oh! Now!"

Ye Muqi took her clothes and came out, just in time to see Rong Jingchen wiping his hair.

The man who had just finished taking a shower was only wearing a black vest. The bulging muscle lines of his arms were really pleasing to the eye...

"I just finished washing, the floor may be a bit slippery, please be careful." Rong Jingchen reminded.

"oh……"

Ye Muqi's attention was on the place where the water drops were sliding down his chest, and he didn't hear clearly what he said.

So as soon as she walked into the bathroom, she slipped.

"Oh--"

Rong Jingchen: “?”

Ye Muqi struggled to sit up, covering his feet with his hands, grimacing in pain, and his clothes were soaked by the water on the ground because of the fall.

The pajamas that Ye Muqi had originally held in his arms fell to the side and were also soaked with water.

"How did you... hurt your foot?" This was the scene that Rong Jingchen saw when he rushed over. His expression couldn't help but become solemn.

Judging from Ye Muqi's appearance, he must have fallen pretty hard.

"Why didn't you remind me that there was water inside?" Ye Muqi's feet hurt a lot, and he lowered his head and kept breathing in.

"I told you." Rong Jingchen was helpless, squatting down beside Ye Muqi while speaking, "You also said 'oh', I thought you heard it."

I didn't hear her say 'oh' what?

“…”

Um?

Is there?

"Well, then it must be that you were slow to remind me, I've already come in." Ye Muqi firmly refused to admit that he became like this because he saw the other person's chest muscles.

His foot was twisted when he fell just now. It felt like a bone injury. Every movement was excruciatingly painful. Even though he could barely bear it, Ye Muqi's eyes were still red from the pain.

It's not that I really want to blame Rong Jingchen, I was just making small talk to divert the pain and embarrassment.

"Hmm..." Rong Jingchen glanced at Ye Muqi. His wife's forehead was sweating from the pain. In the end, she said nothing and took the blame. "Let me see."

Seeing Rong Jingchen was about to examine her, Ye Muqi let go of her hand and let him look.

The sprained ankle is a little red and swollen, and it is getting more and more swollen. It must be treated in time, otherwise it will swell into a doughnut in no time.

"It hurts, it hurts!" Ye Muqi saw Rong Jingchen pinching her injured ankle and immediately screamed.

If she could not retract her feet, she would definitely dodge Rong Jingchen's hand at the first moment.

It was so painful that it hurt even when touched. She just covered it with her hands and didn't dare to use any force.

"Fortunately, the bones are not injured." Rong Jingchen quickly withdrew his hand, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.

There is no bone injury, just a sprain. It can be treated simply, but the bathroom is obviously not a suitable place, so I have to go out and deal with it first.

"It hurts... Don't touch me." Ye Muqi was just about to stand up with the help of Rong Jingchen when she immediately cried out in pain.

Every time her feet moved it felt like a drill piercing her heart. It really hurt a lot and she wasn't pretending.

Rong Jingchen looked at him with a calm look, then bent down and picked up Ye Muqi, who had shrunk back to the ground and sat down.

Ye Muqi was startled and subconsciously hugged Rong Jingchen's neck. Looking at Rong Jingchen's handsome profile, her fingers moved lightly, and she wanted to touch Rong Jingchen's jawline to see if it could really hurt him.

Rong Jingchen carried the person out of the bathroom. There was only a dining table in the living room, and it would be inconvenient to deal with Ye Muqi's ankle if he put her on a chair. He looked at the two rooms, and for some reason, he carried Ye Muqi into his room.

After putting Ye Muqi on the bed, Rong Jingchen went to look for medicinal wine.

My ankle still hurts a lot, but after hurting for a long time, I gradually got used to it and it’s still bearable as long as I don’t touch it.

Ye Muqi looked around Rong Jingchen's room. It was not much bigger than the second bedroom she lived in. Like this room, it was extremely simple. Apart from the bed and the closet, there was nothing else special. The quilt on the bed was folded into a tofu block by him, and it looked as meticulous as he was.

but……

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Ye Muqi could always smell Rong Jingchen's scent in the room.

Like the smell of clean soap.

When Rong Jingchen came back with the medicinal wine, he saw Ye Muqi sitting on the bed, wearing only a pair of shorts that did not even cover her knees, lying flat on the bed, with a pair of long, straight legs that were white and reflective.

Only the ankle of one foot was swollen, which looked a little out of place on such a pair of long white legs.

"The swollen area needs to be massaged." Rong Jingchen held the medicinal wine in his hand and looked at Ye Muqi with an inquiring look, "Shall I massage it for you?"

Ye Muqi was afraid of pain, but seeing that his ankle was more swollen than it was in the bathroom just now, he knew he had to rub it, so he gritted his teeth and stretched out his leg with the determination to cut off his arm.

"...Come on."

Rong Jingchen sat down beside the bed, lifted Ye Muqi's feet, placed them on his legs, poured some medicinal wine into his hands, and then held Ye Muqi's feet.

Holding Ye Muqi's feet with one hand, Rong Jingchen used the other hand to massage her ankle with just the right amount of force. Perhaps because he was afraid that Ye Muqi would feel pain, Rong Jingchen didn't use too much force at first.

But while pressing, Rong Jingchen's eyes fell on Ye Muqi's feet.

Ye Muqi's feet were very small, so small that he could hold them in the palm of his hand with just one hand. Her white and tender little feet were very delicate, and compared with his tanned hands, her feet looked even whiter.

"..." Rong Jingchen's eyes were a little gloomy. Feeling the smooth touch under his hands, his Adam's apple rolled slightly.

Ye Muqi hugged Rong Jingchen's pillow and had her ankle rubbed by Rong Jingchen. It was not as painful as she had expected, and Rong Jingchen's massage was quite comfortable and professional. It was just that the smell of medicinal wine was a bit strong. The whole room was filled with the smell of medicinal wine, which covered up the smell of his body.

"My foot won't affect my going to work tomorrow, right?" Ye Muqi looked at it for a long time before he suddenly seemed to remember something and spoke with some worry.

She had just been selling noodles for two days and had just become famous, but she got injured. If she couldn't go to the breakfast shop, wouldn't her plan to make money be thwarted?

This won’t work!

"?" Hearing this, Rong Jingchen couldn't help but look up at Ye Muqi, to see that she was not joking, but was really worried about this matter.

What time is it now?

Is it that she only cares about making money and doesn't even care about her own health?

Rong Jingchen's face was a little gloomy, and there was a hint of suppressed anger in his eyes when he looked at Ye Muqi.

"Health is the most important thing. It's okay to rest for two days." Rong Jingchen said.

Although Rong Jingchen was a little annoyed that Ye Muqi didn't take care of her body, he didn't show it in his tone. He was more trying to comfort her.

"It's okay, I just twisted it a bit, isn't it? There's no bone injury, right?" Ye Muqi didn't plan to rest. Although he screamed in pain just now, he could still bear this pain when it came to making money. "Besides, don't you soldiers say that you can't leave the front line with minor injuries? Mine is just a minor injury, just rub it more, it's okay."

A soldier?

She also said that he was a soldier.

Rong Jingchen's face became completely gloomy and ugly. Although he didn't say anything, he unconsciously increased the strength of his hands.

"Eh? Um...ah..." The sudden increase in force made Ye Muqi hum.

It's painful and comfortable, and quite addictive.
