"Change the dressing?"

Yu Ci frowned suddenly, and this time he didn't care about "appropriate or not". He turned his head quickly and looked up and down at Shi Jin.

It was at this moment that he realized that Shi Jin's clothes were indeed "suitable".

Except for the exposed hands, feet and face, the rest of the body was covered tightly and there was no sign of any injuries at all.

"Where are you hurt?"

Shi Jin's tone was very casual: "On my back."

Originally, he should have gone to the hospital to change the dressing today, but he went to the Qin family's banquet during the day, and then encountered Cheng Wu's incident, so when he came back, the hospital was already closed.

He could change the gauze himself, but the wound was in the middle of his back, so it was not convenient to apply ointment.

so......

Shi Jin pursed her lips: "Is it okay?"

Yu Ci felt that the temperature of his ears seemed a little high. He touched the tip of his nose and looked away: "It's okay, it's okay..."

that is......

"You won't hold me responsible?"

Although he liked his roommate very much, that was just the affection between roommates. If he had to be responsible for marrying her just because he helped her get the medicine, that would be absolutely impossible.

And what if this was a trap designed by her and his mother?

The more Yu Ci thought about it, the more determined he became: "I can give you medicine, but I won't talk about the responsibility."

Shi Jin tilted his head slightly, his light amber eyes tinged with a hint of doubt: "Responsible?"

Could it be that he was worried that he wouldn't be able to apply the medicine properly?

That should be it.

Shi Jin pursed her lips, the doubt in her eyes slightly dissipated: "It's okay, just apply the ointment."

Since his roommates don't care, it would be a bit awkward for him to continue to worry about it.

"OK."

So Yu Ci raised his chin and said, "Take off your clothes."

Shi Jin frowned, put his fingers on the buttons of his nightgown, and glanced at Yu Ci on the side. His fingertips paused slightly: "Are your hands... shaking?"

Yu Ci glanced at his right hand casually, then nonchalantly put his hand behind his back, his expression very calm: "No, you saw it wrong."

Then he raised his eyebrows: "Why are you taking so long to take off your clothes?"

Shi Jin pursed her lips and moved her fingers gently on the button.

One.

Two.

——

As more and more buttons were undone, Yu Ci's heartbeat became faster and faster.

Seeing that all the buttons were about to be unbuttoned, he licked his inexplicably dry lips and shifted his gaze to the light grey pillow on the side.

"Okay, call me."

The silk nightgown quickly slid to the bottom, forming a soft puddle on the sofa.

Large areas of skin on her shoulders and chest were exposed, feeling a little tight from the cool breeze blowing in through the windows of the living room. Shi Jin subconsciously tensed her body, and her thin eyelids drooped slightly, covering her light-colored eyes.

Shi Jin pulled up the robe that was tucked around his elbows a little higher, and pursed his light-colored lips slightly: "Alright."

"good."

Yu Ci heard his own hoarse voice.

He exhaled and turned his head.

The warm yellow light falls on the carpet, illuminating the light white sofa into a warm yellow hue.

The floor-to-ceiling windows leading to the balcony were curtained. The layered white satin had precise gray folds, and it received the halo of light from the overhead lights, giving off a fine luster.

Yu Ci lowered his eyes and said nothing for a long time.

Shi Jin's back was as thin as he imagined, with a straight bone contour, slightly protruding shoulder bones, and smooth muscle texture in his shoulders, neck and arms.

As he tilted his head slightly, Yu Ci could see the delicate and beautiful collarbone rising and falling slightly with his breathing.

Perhaps because he had not seen the sun for a long time, the skin on his back was very white, the kind of white with a cold jade tone. And because of this, the knife wound on his back was particularly conspicuous.

The wound was about a palm long. The skin and flesh at the wound had been healed after multiple dressing changes, but at this moment the edge of the wound seemed to be pulled apart, and traces of blood stained the snow-white back.

In the empty living room, the only sound was Shi Jin's shallow breathing.

Xiao Hei swung his tail and stared at the two humans in front of him, his bright yellow eyes unblinking.

The person behind me has been quiet for too long.

"What's wrong?" Shi Jin tilted his head slightly.

As he moved, the silk nightgown slipped down a little further on her skin, revealing a slender waist.

"fine."

Yu Ci took out the ointment from the bag, unscrewed the lid, revealing the milky white paste inside.

The rich aroma of medicine quickly spread throughout the living room, mixed with the cool scent of mint, filling the air around the two of them.

"Do you have a cotton swab?" he asked.

"There are no cotton swabs." Shi Jin pursed her lips: "There are gloves in the bag."

He initially did not plan to change the dressing at home, so he did not prepare any cotton swabs. He only had the medical gloves that he brought back with the medicine.

Yu Ci rummaged through the bag and found a pair of gloves.

He unpacked the gloves, took out a glove and put it on his right hand: "Bear with it, it might hurt."

"good."

The cool white paste was squeezed onto the gloved fingertips and then gently fell onto the snow-white back.

The moment the ointment touched his back, Shi Jin's body collapsed uncontrollably for a moment.

Yu Ci raised his eyes quickly, staring at Shi Jin's profile: "Did I hurt you?"

"No." Shi Jin lowered his eyes slightly and shook his head slightly: "The ointment is a little cold."

Yu Ci then lowered his head: "Then I will continue."

White ointment was applied to the hideous wound.

The cool feeling covered the burning sensation of the wound, but was soon replaced by another sensation.

Through a thin layer of medical gloves, the fingertips stained with ointment seemed to be even hotter than Shi Jin's skin. The hot fingertips rubbed the ointment across his shoulders, and he even felt the heat seeping through the skin and flesh into his blood vessels.

The fingertips that touched my back quickly left.

The heat dissipated, leaving only the cool feeling of the ointment.

Shi Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

Yu Ci also let go of the breath he had been holding.

He took out gauze from the bag, but paused slightly before taking action.

This gauze...

Do you have to wrap the bag around front and back?

"Why don't you do the gauze yourself?" Yu Ci looked away, his ears burning: "It's not convenient for me."

Shi Jin had exactly this intention.

He nodded, and gathered the robe loosely around his shoulders, which was draped at the bend of his elbows, to ensure that the fabric of the robe would not come into contact with the ointment. "I'll do it myself."

Yu Ci reached out and pressed his pounding heart, then breathed a sigh of relief.

He handed the gauze in his hand to Shi Jin, and his eyes naturally moved over: "Gauze to--"

The following words were suddenly choked in the throat.

Yu Ci opened his eyes wide and stared at Shi Jin...'s chest in shock.

His lips opened and closed, and after a long while he managed to utter a sentence from his throat: "You, you are not a woman?"

Shi Jin paused for a moment, raised his eyelids, and looked calm, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "When did I say I was a woman?"

Yu Ci tried hard to flip through his memories: "Last time, last time..."

He thought about it for a long time and finally realized that Shi Jin had indeed never said that he was a girl.

However, when he helped Shi Jin change her clothes, he clearly had a piece of white cloth wrapped around his chest.

That's what it says in the comics: if a woman dresses up as a man, she has to wrap her chest with white gauze.

etc--

White gauze?

Yu Ci's face was stiff as he looked at his right hand.

The joints are distinct and the skin is even. They are undoubtedly a pair of hands that can be used as a hand model, but this is not the point. The point is——

The palm of the big hand is currently holding a roll of white medical gauze.

At the end of the gauze, a piece of light white gauze was hanging slightly, floating in place with his movements.

Yu Ci tightened his fingers that were pinching the gauze slightly, then looked at Shi Jin silently.

Shi Jin also looked at him, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

As Yu Ci looked at it, his gaze suddenly drifted downwards uncontrollably.

The long and slender neck, the delicate lines of the collarbone, the smoothly textured chest, and the narrow waist that seems to be able to be pinched in half, all of these are dyed with charming colors against the backdrop of the young man's snow-white cold skin.

The pink plum blossoms falling in the snow add a touch of ambiguity.

Yu Ci felt that he must be crazy.

Otherwise, how could he have the urge to reach out and kiss the white snow, and pluck the pink plums from the branches?

He must be crazy.

In order to dispel this inexplicable impulse, Yu Ci looked away: "Let me bandage you."

"You just didn't..."

"I just thought you were a girl, so it's naturally inconvenient." Yu Ci licked his inexplicably dry lips and spread out the gauze: "Come on, the ointment will dry later."

Shi Jin pursed her lips and lowered her eyes.

The steps of wrapping gauze are slightly more complicated than simply applying ointment.

First, use thin gauze to gently cover the wound with the ointment. Press the end of the gauze with one hand, and use the other hand to wrap around the chest, gathering the white gauze inch by inch until the thin white gauze completely sticks to the slightly cool and delicate chest skin, covering the end of the gauze pressing on the fingers, and carefully wrapping it into a delicate circle.

Then the process repeats until the number of gauze layers is enough to protect the wound, and then the wound is lightly tied into a clever bow behind the back.

Yu Ci came over with gauze, held the end of the gauze with his left hand, and bent down slightly: "Don't move."

Shi Jin cooperated by raising his arms, his thin eyelids drooping, covering the expression in his eyes.

The thin gauze sticks to the skin, bringing a slight friction feeling.

The man's hot breath was beside his ear, and the warm breath mercilessly invaded his earlobe, bringing a slight itch.

Shi Jin tilted his head unconsciously.

The man behind him paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Does it hurt?"

Shi Jin's earlobe felt slightly hot, he shook his head and pursed his lips: "Itchy."

Yu Ci raised his eyebrows, looking at Shi Jin's neck which was gradually dyed with a beautiful color, a smile flashed across his eyes: "Just bear with it."

Layer upon layer of thin gauze was wrapped around the wound that was coated with ointment, leaving a fluttering white butterfly on the back.

Yu Ci took two steps back and looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.

"Okay."

Shi Jin rolled up her drooping collar and gathered it in front of her: "Thank you."

He lowered his eyes, and his slender white fingertips slowly fastened the buttons. The black nightgown rose inch by inch, covering the snow-white color underneath.

Yu Ci washed his hands and came out: "How did you get this wound?"
