Qiao Nansheng searched for a while before finally finding it, but there was no gauze or alcohol, so she still had to go downstairs to get it.
"Wait for me a moment," she said to him, then turned and went downstairs.
The person came back up in less than a minute.
Qiao Nansheng ran to him without taking a breath, placed the first-aid kit on the coffee table, opened it and took out cotton swabs, gauze and alcohol.
"Weren't you going out to attend an event? How did you get a new injury?" Qiao Nansheng asked, quickly picking up the alcohol-soaked towel in front of her and starting to treat the wound on his back.
Zhou Cheng lay on the sofa, letting her fuss over him, and replied lazily with his eyes closed, "The water heater at the hotel I'm staying at is broken, and I accidentally scalded myself while taking a shower."
"But isn't this a bit too serious?" Qiao Nansheng said, then suddenly seemed to remember something, leaning over to peek at his crotch. "Is Xiao Chengcheng broken?"
Zhou Cheng: "..."
His face darkened. He opened his eyes, stared at the woman who was staring at a certain part of him, and said through gritted teeth, "So you want to know? Then try it now!"
He reached out and began to unbuckle his belt.
Qiao Nansheng was startled and quickly shook her head, blushing, "No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I was just concerned about you. I was just asking casually, hehe... just asking..."
She pulled her head back, not daring to ask any more questions, and focused on applying the medicine to him.
After a while, the talkative Qiao Nansheng couldn't help but ask again, "You're so badly injured, didn't you go to the hospital for a checkup? The doctor didn't even bandage you up?"
"I got burned in the early morning," Zhou Cheng said, pausing slightly. "I was rushing back, so I didn't go."
"Are you stupid?" Qiao Nansheng couldn't help but scold, "You're such an idiot. Why did you rush back after going to the hospital? It's not like you're in a hurry to catch someone cheating."
Zhou Cheng turned to look at her: "I came back to catch them cheating."
"..."
Qiao Nansheng's face darkened: "Catch my ass! Who am I having an affair with? Don't talk nonsense."
“Xu Yanqing.” Zhou Cheng slowly uttered three words. He saw Qiao Nansheng’s eyes widen, as if she couldn’t believe how he knew she had added Xu Yanqing. He said slowly, “He liked the post you made on WeChat Moments.”
He also added Xu Yanqing, but the two of them don't usually interact or have any contact. They added each other a long time ago for some reason, so it's not convenient for him to delete them.
After returning to the hotel from the event the day before yesterday, I washed up and lay down to rest. I saw that Qiao Nansheng had updated her WeChat Moments, so I clicked on it and saw that Xu Yanqing had liked her post.
So after finishing the project that night, he returned to the hotel, exhausted and covered in cold sweat. He planned to take a shower and go to bed early so he could take the earliest flight back the next morning. But as luck would have it, the water heater broke down while he was taking a shower.
Forty-degree boiling water sprayed down from the showerhead. Luckily, she was washing with her back to the water, otherwise... the area Qiao Nansheng was worried about might have actually been injured.
"You guys added each other as friends too?" Qiao Nansheng asked.
"Um."
Zhou Cheng nodded, his deep eyes staring straight at her. "You were told to come back and not practice dance at Huaying, and you added him on WeChat and video chatted with him?"
"No!" Qiao Nansheng immediately retorted, "We didn't make a video call, don't talk nonsense."
Zhou Cheng snorted, not believing her. "If it wasn't a video, then I recorded a video for him to check, right?"
Qiao Nansheng pretended to be stupid: "Hey, don't move and turn around quickly, it's hard for me to apply the medicine if you're like this."
Seeing that she was changing the subject, Zhou Cheng gave another cold laugh, but he didn't say anything more and turned to close his eyes for a short rest.
Qiao Nansheng treated his wounds ten minutes later. Luckily, there was enough gauze at home, otherwise it would have been used up after just a few wraps.
She threw the blood- and alcohol-stained cotton swabs into the trash can, tidied up the first-aid kit, and reached out to push him: "Don't sleep here, go to bed."
Zhou Cheng slightly opened his eyes, glanced at her, then stood up and swayed as he walked toward the bedside.
Whether it was because he was too sleepy or something else, he became confused, kicked the corner of the sofa, and fell forward.
Qiao Nansheng's eyes widened, and before she could react, her body had already rushed over and hugged him.
"What's wrong with you? Don't you know where you're going?" she yelled at him fiercely, helping him to the bedside. "Go to sleep."
Zhou Cheng squinted at her and chuckled, "Sleep together?"
"I've had enough sleep." Qiao Nansheng blushed and withdrew her hand.
Zhou Cheng sat on the edge of the bed and grabbed her arm, not letting her leave.
"Sleep with me." He said in a coquettish tone, his voice drawn out and gentle, his dark, deep eyes fixed on Qiao Nansheng. "Just sleep with me for a while, and you can leave after I fall asleep."
"Isn't it the same if you sleep alone?" she said, frowning, trying to pull her hand back, but he was holding on too tightly.
"Zhou Cheng!!" she shouted at him in a fit of rage.
The man hummed in agreement: "I can't sleep without you here."
"..."
"I see you sleeping well outside, don't you?" She can't sleep as well as he can. How did he ever sleep before?
She could tell he was clearly trying to take advantage of her!
Zhou Cheng sighed, pointed to his dark circles under his eyes, and said, "I guess I'm just used to you sleeping next to me. I haven't been able to sleep these past few days without you sleeping next to me."
"..." This reason, coupled with his current tired appearance and those big dark circles under his eyes, seems somewhat reasonable.
Qiao Nansheng was silent for a while, then lay down on the bed with him. "Then I'll sleep for a while. I'll leave once you're asleep."
"good."
He had an injury on his back and couldn't lie down, so he had to sleep on his stomach.
Zhou Cheng turned his head to the side, facing Qiao Nansheng, and looked at her with half-closed eyes.
"Aren't you supposed to be sleeping?" Qiao Nansheng frowned. "Why are you looking at me while you're sleeping? Hurry up and go to sleep." She urged him. She had gone to bed early last night, and she wouldn't be able to sleep if she slept with Zhou Cheng again.
"Beautiful." Zhou Cheng replied with a smile, his expression gentle, his eyes shining as he looked at her, as if countless stars were twinkling. "My Sheng Sheng is the most beautiful."
My Sheng Sheng...
Qiao Nansheng's heart skipped a beat at these words: Why did he suddenly become so cheesy?
She reached out and covered his eyes: "Stop looking, you'll die of exhaustion if you don't go to sleep."
"Okay." He nodded slightly, then closed his eyes and began to sleep.
Qiao Nansheng felt his eyelashes gently brush against her palm, and after a moment, the man's even breathing came from in front of her.
She gently removed her hand and looked over; Zhou Cheng had already closed his eyes and fallen asleep.
He really hasn't been getting enough rest these past few days. Just like he said, he's used to sleeping with her every night. Suddenly being away for a few days without her by his side, he can't fall asleep at night. He often suffers from insomnia until three or four in the morning. Even when he finally falls asleep, he only gets a few hours before having to get up again.
