Chapter 74 I feel inexplicably sorry for her
Jiang Ranxing looked up in surprise at the man in front of her who was much taller than her.
Fu Shenyuan was looking down at her, a behavior that puzzled Jiang Ranxing greatly.
He didn't know what Fu Shenyuan was planning to do.
"you……"
Just as Jiang Ranxing was about to say something, Fu Shenyuan reached out and lifted her arm.
Fu Shenyuan's fingertips were a little cold, but surprisingly they weren't so cold when they touched her skin.
A subtle warmth seemed to emanate from between their skin.
Fu Shenyuan said calmly, "Your arm has been bleeding the whole time, didn't you know?"
Jiang Ranxing was momentarily stunned by his confusion and looked at his arm.
A stream of bright red blood was flowing down his arm.
Jiang Ranxing then realized the pain; she must have accidentally scratched herself while rushing to the living room to see Fu Xingyi during the power outage in the kitchen.
But because she was too anxious to care for her son, she didn't notice her own injuries.
The dull pain is only now becoming apparent.
Upon seeing this, the property staff quickly brought over the first-aid kit.
"Ms. Jiang, please treat your wound first."
Jiang Ranxing took the medical kit and found a seat next to him.
Jiang Ranxing tore open the cotton swab, applied some iodine, and prepared to disinfect the wound.
However, the wound was located on the side of the upper arm, so Jiang Ranxing couldn't apply medicine to it immediately.
Jiang Ranxing tried several times, but the medicine couldn't get properly onto the wound.
"Give it to me."
A clear, cold voice rang out, and a slender hand with distinct knuckles appeared before her.
Jiang Ranxing suddenly looked up and saw Fu Shenyuan looking at her and talking.
Jiang Ranxing was stunned, and his heart skipped a few beats.
After a short while, she said, "No need, I can do it myself."
However, it is obvious that the wound on Jiang Ranxing's arm cannot be seen from this angle.
She tried to apply the disinfectant herself again, but failed.
Fu Shenyuan lowered his eyes and said softly again, "Alright, give it to me."
Fu Shenyuan took the cotton swab from her hand, put his arm around her, and disinfected her wound.
Jiang Ranxing was stunned for a moment, without even blinking.
Is Fu Shenyuan taking the initiative to take care of her?
Why did he do that?
“You don’t need to do that, Fu Shenyuan,” Jiang Ranxing said quietly, watching his actions.
However, Fu Shenyuan did not reply to her, but continued what he was doing.
His movements as he applied the medicine were surprisingly gentle.
Was he afraid she would be in pain? Jiang Ranxing couldn't help but wonder.
At this moment, Jiang Ranxing even thought that this was not reality, but her dream.
How could that be?
That's too unrealistic.
But that's the reality. Fu Shenyuan has always been incredibly precious to her, so this kind of medicine-applying action would never happen to her.
But the coolness at the wound site served as a stark reminder to her.
Fu Shenyuan was indeed applying medicine to her.
All of this was simply too incredible for Jiang Ranxing.
For six whole years, in all the years of their marriage, Fu Shenyuan had never cared for her like this.
This sudden show of concern, even the act of personally helping her, seems extremely unusual now.
Something seemed to be trembling slightly in my heart, faintly clamoring.
Jiang Ranxing silently sensed that it seemed to still be the same heart that loved Fu Shenyuan.
If her love for Fu Shenyuan was a seed, then as long as a little water is poured in, the seed of love, with its tenacious vitality, will sprout and strive to grow upward.
Just like a person who is extremely thirsty, who finally gets a small sip of water and his life is nourished, he will be extremely grateful.
Jiang Ranxing's feelings at this moment are hard to describe in words.
It was a mixture of surprise and bitterness, a complex emotion born from countless emotional entanglements.
But they've already come this far, and there's no way to turn things around.
She couldn't say anything and could only let Fu Shenyuan do as he pleased.
"Alright," Fu Shenyuan said again.
Fu Shenyuan gently tossed the cotton swab into the trash can beside him, and at the same time stood up and straightened his shirt sleeves.
He didn't say anything more and turned to walk towards Lin Xuesha and Fu Xingyi.
His silhouette suddenly seemed so reassuring.
Jiang Ranxing stood there, stunned.
Of course, it wasn't just Jiang Ranxing who was stunned by Fu Shenyuan's actions; Lin Xuesha was also taken aback.
Fu Shenyuan's seemingly concerned actions made Lin Xuesha feel as if she were facing a formidable enemy.
She was still there, and Fu Shenyuan went to care about Jiang Ranxing, how could that be!
Lin Xuesha seemed to have a forced smile as she asked, "Shen Yuan, are you very concerned about Ranxing?"
Fu Shenyuan glanced back at Jiang Ranxing, who was walking towards the door and quickly disappeared into the night.
Fu Shenyuan withdrew his gaze and said to Lin Xuesha, "No."
Looking at Jiang Ranxing's wound just now, he suddenly felt a bit of irritation.
He didn't know what was going on either.
But at the time, that's what he wanted to do.
Looking into Fu Shenyuan's eyes, Lin Xuesha suddenly sensed danger—a danger that threatened her position.
The Fu Shenyuan of the past would never have shown Jiang Ranxing the slightest pity.
Not to mention personally applying medicine to Jiang Ranxing.
On their wedding anniversary, when Jiang Ranxing's legs and feet were covered in bloodstains, Fu Shenyuan didn't show the slightest emotion.
Jiang Ranxing's condition was much more serious back then than it is now.
At the time, Fu Shenyuan didn't offer a single word of concern.
However, something has clearly changed now.
She wouldn't allow that possibility to have a chance to emerge.
A glint of light flashed in Lin Xuesha's eyes as she watched Jiang Ranxing's departing figure. Her decision to bring Zhou Mozheng over now seemed incredibly correct and appropriate.
It is imperative to nip any potential feelings Fu Shenyuan might develop for Jiang Ranxing in the bud at this crucial moment.
Lin Xuesha calculated the time and realized she couldn't go upstairs immediately; she had to wait until something really happened between Jiang Ranxing and Zhou Mozheng.
Only then will they be caught red-handed.
So Lin Xuesha didn't say anything more, but simply took Fu Xingyi's hand.
Lin Xuesha said, "Let's go first, Yiyi. Aunt Xuesha will take you to buy some food first, okay? You can eat it after watching the movie."
“Okay, sure,” Fu Xingyi tugged at Fu Shenyuan’s sleeve. “Dad, let’s go.”
“Hmm,” Fu Shenyuan replied.
The three of them left the property management lobby on the first floor and headed towards the entrance of the residential complex.
When Jiang Ranxing returned home, the power had not yet been restored, and only the decorative lights in the living room emitted a warm yellow glow.
She walked into the living room, but strangely smelled a hint of alcohol.
Jiang Ranxing doesn't have any alcohol at home, and even cooking wine wouldn't smell like this, especially since she didn't use any cooking wine today.
Jiang Ranxing found it a bit strange, and then she planned to go to the bedroom to change into her pajamas and take a bath while the power was out.
However, when she pushed open the bedroom door, she immediately noticed something amiss.
There seemed to be movement inside, but it was too dark for her to see clearly at first.
Jiang Ranxing cautiously moved forward, simultaneously turning on her phone and pressing the alarm button to ensure her safety.
But the next second, the person on the bed stood up, grabbed Jiang Ranxing's arm, and pulled her back onto the bed.
In an instant, the world spun in the darkness, and Jiang Ranxing felt dizzy.
"Ah!" Jiang Ranxing exclaimed as she was thrown onto the soft bed with tremendous force.
