Chapter 16 The kitten is running away from home!
Over the next few days, Su Yun felt that something was off about the night breeze.
After observing for several days, she noticed that the other person always sat alone in a corner, looking deep in thought, or intentionally or unintentionally avoiding her, which was very strange.
Especially when changing dressings, since the injured area is on the chest, treating the wound is a delicate task. Most of the time, Su Yun helps with cleaning and changing the dressings. For some reason, these past few days, Ye Feng has been avoiding her when changing dressings.
For several days in a row, she was unable to take a close look at how well her wound was healing.
As evening approached, Ye Feng had just finished bathing by the well. His body was still wet with water droplets, and he was wiping himself off as he was about to walk back to his room.
Su Yun, holding the hemostatic herb, called out to him, "Hey, Ye Feng, let me help you apply the medicine. How's the wound?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng paused for a moment, then quickened his pace and entered the room, stammering, "No, no... it's alright... I can do it myself..."
He then quickened his pace, jogged into the room, and slammed the door shut with a loud "bang."
Su Yun, who was holding the medicine and standing behind, looked at the door that slammed shut with a bang, completely bewildered.
What's wrong?
Why did you suddenly stop wanting her to apply the medicine?
Could it be that there's a difference between men and women? Su Yun was greatly surprised.
She immediately dismissed the idea, since she hadn't seen the other person show any embarrassment or reluctance when they slept together.
Su Yun recalled the few weeks they had spent together. During the day, they were both busy working from early morning, and at night they would fall asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow. There were no ambiguous actions as she had imagined, except that Su Yun woke up early and occasionally, while the other was still asleep, she would secretly admire the cat-eared handsome man's sleeping face. She didn't do anything; it was purely for appreciation. This... this isn't a crime, is it? Su Yun thought silently. After all, it was just peeking, and the other shouldn't have noticed.
Having ruled out the awakening of awareness of gender differences, Su Yun felt there was still one possibility left: there might be something wrong with the wound, could it have worsened?
Considering Ye Feng's strange behavior and his constantly thoughtful face, Su Yun felt that her idea was very reliable. Anything is possible in this apocalypse. What if it's a mutation?
No, for Ye Feng's health, she had to take a look.
So she immediately grabbed the herbs and went over, knocking on the door, "Knock knock knock—"
"Night Wind, are you alright? Is your wound healing? Let me take a look," Su Yun shouted. "Open the door for me."
A muffled sound came from inside the house: "I'm fine, I can handle it myself."
"Hey! I don't believe it unless you let me see for myself, see if it's gotten worse?" Su Yun persisted, shouting loudly.
This time, the night wind made no sound.
Su Yun began her persuasion: "Having an illness isn't scary, but you shouldn't hide it."
"Early detection, early treatment, early recovery!"
"Having an illness isn't scary; not getting treatment is!"
Su Yun rambled on incoherently outside the door, while Ye Feng remained silent inside the room. Finally, Su Yun blurted out a flirtatious remark: "No matter what, I will never dislike you."
Then Ye Feng, hiding inside, softly replied, "I'm fine, some herbal medicine will do the trick."
"Huh?"
Seeing that Ye Feng was completely unmoved by reason.
In the end, Su Yun had no choice but to leave...
After dinner, he climbed into bed. No matter what Su Yun said, Ye Feng's eyes darted away and his expression was pale, but he refused to let Su Yun see his wound.
Sigh, could it be that it's reached puberty? It's really difficult to raise a disobedient kitten.
She also wanted to forcibly lift the other's clothes to check the injuries, but seeing that the kitten was silent, with drooping eyes, drooping ears, and even the tip of its tail drooping...
It was not right to force them to do something they didn't want to do, so I had no choice but to give up.
Su Yun sighed softly, crawled into the quilt, and pondered what to do. Although on the surface Su Yun had given up, in reality she was still racking her brains for a solution.
What should we do?
Su Yun was so worried she almost went bald. She thought and thought, and finally came up with this one solution: she thought she could just wait until Ye Feng was asleep tonight, and then secretly lift her clothes to take a look.
Tonight happens to be a full moon night, and the sky is exceptionally clear without a single cloud. The moonlight shines directly into the house, illuminating most of the room clearly, as if a bright flashlight is shining, which is very effective.
Su Yun forced himself to stay awake and listened quietly to the sounds of the night wind. At first, the other person was tossing and turning, as if preoccupied with something, unable to calm down.
About twenty minutes later, the faint chirping of insects came from outside the window. Su Yun's eyelids began to droop, and just when she was about to give up, she listened carefully and found that the other person's breathing had suddenly slowed down and become even and long.
Hearing the soft breathing, Su Yun immediately woke up as if she had been injected with chicken blood. She quietly turned her head to look at Ye Feng and saw that he was sleeping soundly with his eyes closed and his thin lips opening and closing, gently emitting soft snores.
Su Yun tentatively rolled over heavily, but the other person didn't react.
Then she gently kicked the blanket over herself, but the other person still didn't react.
Finally, Su Yun propped herself up, leaning slightly to one side, and stared at him for a long time, but the other person still didn't react.
The night breeze still breathed evenly and long, occasionally snoring softly. Fine black hair was scattered on the pillow, and a pair of cat ears obediently stuck to her head, looking well-behaved and cute.
Unfortunately, Su Yun was not in the mood to appreciate it. She felt a little guilty, as if she was doing something wrong. Her heart was pounding so hard that she was wide awake.
Seeing that the other person was sleeping soundly, she first moved very gently, with utmost care, and quietly, without leaving a trace, pulled the blanket down a little, revealing his upper body.
Su Yun was so nervous that her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
But thankfully, it's all right.
The other person did not wake up.
After Su Yun finished this step, he quietly and carefully examined Ye Feng again. His handsome brows were still closed, his breathing was even, and there was no sign that he had been disturbed.
Su Yun finally felt a little relieved and let out a soft breath. The next step was the most important one: to lift the other person's clothes to see what was going on.
Su Yun shakily reached out her thieving hand, feeling in a daze as if she were a pervert. Staying up late at night, she secretly lifted up someone's clothes to look at their chest while they were asleep. Alas, she, a promising and advanced young woman of the new era, had fallen to such a state. In the past, this would have gotten her detained by the police!
Su Yun's mind was filled with strange thoughts, and he sighed again.
Sigh, but there's nothing we can do about it right now.
As long as my movements are light and quick enough, the other party won't be able to detect them.
So, Su Yun took a deep breath and carefully grabbed a corner of the other person's shirt. The white T-shirt that Ye Feng was wearing was from who-knows-where; it was slightly see-through, and one could even vaguely see the outline of his firm muscles beneath the shirt. They were tight, well-proportioned, and perfectly shaped, exuding an alluring scent of hormones beneath the fabric…
It looks kind of tempting...
For some reason, a strange thought arose in Su Yun's mind, and she suddenly felt her mouth go dry. She quietly swallowed.
Ah, in this way, Su Yun felt even more like a pervert.
No! That's not how it works!
She was checking on Ye Feng's injuries; there was no other way.
Su Yun comforted herself, banishing all those chaotic thoughts from her mind. Then, she took a deep breath, gently pinching the hem of her clothes and starting to lift it up. Her well-proportioned, wheat-colored abs were revealed as her clothes rolled up—one, two, three… Su Yun's breath became hot. Ah! Victory was in sight.
Just as Su Yun was about to see the wound on his chest, a bird outside the window suddenly called out, "Coo-coo—".
Su Yun cried out in alarm, but before he could react, a pair of golden eyes suddenly lit up in the darkness. Then, the world spun around him, and a sharp pain shot through his hands, feet, and neck.
Startled awake, Ye Feng nimbly flipped over and firmly pinned Su Yun down, gripping her hands and feet tightly.
"Who?!" Ye Feng was fast asleep when he was suddenly awakened. He saw a dark, shadowy figure lying on top of him. His body moved instinctively, and with a swift and decisive flip, he pinned the person to the bed. He leaned down and pressed his sharp teeth against the person's throat. If the other person made any move to resist, the sharp teeth would pierce the person's neck in an instant.
In the darkness, Su Yun's hands and feet were held down tightly by the other person. The two were very close, almost touching. Su Yun could clearly feel the other person's strong and hard muscles, and he could even feel the other person's sharp teeth gently piercing his skin, causing a sharp pain.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch—it's me, Ye Feng." Su Yun cried out hurriedly, her voice trembling slightly with pain.
As Ye Feng gradually regained consciousness, he realized he had accidentally injured his opponent. He quickly released his grip, but the sharp thorn suddenly detached from his flesh, causing a sharp pain in the wound. Su Yun instinctively gasped, "Hiss—"
Hearing the other person cry out in pain, and seeing a thin trickle of blood seeping from the wound, Ye Feng's heart tightened, and he subconsciously stuck out his tongue to lick away the blood.
Su Yun's head was spinning, and the wound on her neck was throbbing slightly. Suddenly, something soft gently touched the wound on her neck. It was warm and felt like sandpaper stroking her soft skin.
Su Yun felt as if she had been electrocuted, her whole body instantly burning hot, her ears turning red, and she didn't know what to do.
The night was chaotic, and only through instinct did my mind slowly come to its senses. I found myself unconsciously licking the other person's wound with my tongue. The tip of my tongue touched the girl's delicate and soft skin, carrying a faint taste of blood and a slight warmth.
As if scalded by fire, the night wind immediately released Su Yun's hands and feet, quickly widening the distance between the two.
What just happened to me?
He actually hurt her by accident and did that, this time... this time... there's really no excuse...
Humans dislike anything that threatens them. I had been injured and used the excuse of recuperating to stay here for a while. Now that my injuries have gradually healed, I no longer have an excuse to stay.
Moreover, she is so capable and efficient that she was able to transform a once desolate house into such a perfect place.
The room is decorated with cozy plants, a lovely vegetable garden, and a familiar lounge chair...
Although it's only been a short time, he has unknowingly come to regard this place as his dream destination...
That legendary, wonderful, and warm place called "home"...
He found himself having this thought of staying here forever, but he dared not speak of it or ask...
He was afraid of losing...
Afraid of being rejected...
He had been avoiding Su Yun because he didn't want her to know that his injuries had healed, but now he had accidentally hurt her again...
He can no longer stay.
Night Breeze felt a pang of disappointment and frustration. Looking at the girl who was blankly clutching her neck in the darkness, he murmured, "I'm sorry... I didn't know it was you."
"No, no, it's not..." Su Yun covered her injured neck, her voice low. She was feeling guilty, so she deserved to be injured by mistake. However, she was too embarrassed to admit her actions, so she could only awkwardly comfort Ye Feng, saying, "It's not your fault, it was my own carelessness."
"It was my fault. I shouldn't have hurt you. I'm dangerous." Ye Feng lowered his head, his voice hoarse and low, as if he were choking up.
Su Yun sensed something was off and was about to explain that she had only herself to blame for sneaking around in the middle of the night to peek at someone's wound, and that she couldn't blame the other person for their instinctive reaction. But she stammered for a long time...
Ultimately, due to pride and some other unspeakable reasons, he blushed and hesitated for a long time before finally refusing to reveal the truth.
And so, the atmosphere remained silent.
Night Wind hung his head, his expression one of sadness and grief. Finally, he spoke in a hoarse voice, whispering, "I'm sorry, it's my fault you got hurt..."
No, no, it was me. Su Yun was about to explain.
Night Breeze seemed to have made a decision, remaining silent for a moment before slowly saying, "My injuries have almost healed, and I will leave here immediately tomorrow, so you don't need to worry."
What?
Night Wind's words exploded in Su Yun's mind like a thunderclap. What did he mean by leaving? Why leave? Was he healed? When did that happen? Then why leave?
A jumble of information flooded into Su Yun's head, leaving her frozen in place. By the time she caught her breath and tried to ask for clarification, Ye Feng had already pushed open the door and left the room.
She was left all alone.
They're leaving already?
Su Yun stood there, hugging the blanket, completely stunned.
