Chapter 37 Depend on Her
Although she resisted Dr. Zhao's instructions, she still remembered everything he said clearly and helped him wipe his body. Even if she had to bend down repeatedly to wash the towel and wring it out, she didn't complain...
"What a woman who is tough on the outside but soft on the inside..." Li Jinxing couldn't help but sigh.
"What did you say?" Nie Yao wet the towel for the last time and asked in confusion without hearing his words clearly.
"Nothing..." Li Jinxing shook his head and asked thoughtfully, "You cleaned it so cleanly, have you cleaned it for others before?"
Upon hearing this, Nie Yao wrung out the towel fiercely and glared at him unhappily: "Do you think I have nothing to do? I've never even served my adoptive father like this!"
As she spoke, she wiped harder.
Li Jinxing didn't feel any pain at all, instead, the corners of his lips curled up slightly: "So I'm the first man you treat like this..."
Nie Yao's hands trembled as she muttered softly, "Yeah, you're the first man I saved who ended up relying on me..."
Despite her complaints, she still carefully checked his upper body and made sure it was wiped clean. Then she breathed a sigh of relief, took the basin of water to pour it out, and washed the towel and hung it on the balcony.
By the time she was done, she was sweating all over.
Looking at the beads of sweat on her forehead, Li Jinxing smiled and suggested, "I see you're sweating all over. There are brand new toiletries in the bathroom. You can go take a shower..."
"No, I'm not used to taking a shower in someone else's house!" Nie Yao waved her hand, rejecting his offer and said indifferently, "If you have nothing else to do, I'll go back first!"
Seeing that she was about to leave so soon, Li Jinxing hurriedly reminded her with a smile: "How can you bear to leave me, a wounded patient, here like this? You promised my family doctor that you would take good care of me..."
"Li Jinxing, don't push your luck!" Nie Yao pounded her aching back and asked sternly, "When did I ever promise to be your doctor? Do you really think I'm just your maid?"
Li Jinxing shook his finger, smiled softly and said, "No, you are my savior!"
"How can you treat your savior like this?" Nie Yao complained with a helpless smile. She just saved his life, but he ended up blackmailing her?
"I said I won't owe anyone a favor..." Li Jinxing sighed softly, waved his hand to pick up the shirt thrown aside, and said with a smile: "It's just that the wound burst today, and it's also because of you..."
"Can you blame me for this?" Nie Yao pointed at herself and said with a mixture of anger and amusement, "Who is it that's so determined to prove he's not just some ordinary rich kid? His wounds haven't even healed yet, yet he goes to a martial arts gym to pick a fight?"
Li Jinxing smiled noncommittally and whispered, "Because I don't want you to think that I'm the same kind of person as Ji Minghuan and the others..."
"..." Nie Yao was stunned for a moment, and when she met his sincere gaze, an indescribable ripple arose in her heart.
After a moment of silence, she shook her head and laughed, "Of course you're different from those wealthy kids. I've known that for a long time. You don't have to deliberately prove anything to me..."
From the moment he helped her save face, she knew that he was different from everyone else at the party, and she also knew that she had not saved the wrong person!
