She was angry, but she couldn't ignore her injuries.
To prevent them from spying on military intelligence, Xiao Yanzi kept a close watch on everyone in Gege's team. He couldn't find any opportunity to contact Chen Nian, let alone apologize.
He was truly helpless.
...
"Um?"
When Chen Nian looked up, he met Ertai's concerned eyes.
If she blinks, will she still be noticed?
Ertai saw the surprise in Shen Nian's eyes, and the unease in his eyes disappeared instantly. He chuckled to himself, wondering why she had become so dazed.
However, he was certain that she was no longer angry, but he still had to apologize.
He raised his hand, gesturing to the ice pack in his hand, and shook it, "Use this to soothe it first."
Chen Nian was momentarily stunned by Ertai's smile and nodded blankly.
Ertai's looks were already captivating, and now that he smiled, Chen Nian exclaimed inwardly, "Wow, how can he be so handsome?"
She's a bit of a looks-obsessed person; she feels much better around good-looking people. For example, when she looks at Xiao Yanzi's big, bright eyes, she feels like she can't get angry at all.
She was brought back to her senses by a slight stinging sensation on her forehead.
Seeing the dazed person, whose captivating peach blossom eyes were fixed on him, Ertai felt a sense of satisfaction and immense relief that he was good-looking.
Taking advantage of the moment when people were distracted, Ertai squatted down, carefully lifted Chen Nian's bangs, and looked at Chen Nian's red and swollen forehead. His heart ached even more, and without further delay, he began to apply ice to the forehead.
He saw Chen Nian get hit by the ball several times on the court. He wanted to go and help, but Xiao Yanzi guarded them so tightly that he couldn't even touch Chen Nian, let alone deliver medicine.
His brother and Yongqi were both applying ice packs to their loved ones, and Benjamin was taking care of others, leaving only Chen Nian without anyone to look after her.
Since he was the only "idle" person with nothing to do, it wouldn't seem abrupt for him to apply ice to Chen Nian's wound. It wouldn't damage Chen Nian's reputation, and it would also take care of Chen Nian's injury.
"I, I'll take care of it."
When I snapped out of my reverie, I saw someone earnestly applying an ice pack to my wound. My complexion looked unnatural again. Last time I asked someone to peel sunflower seeds for me, and this time I asked someone to apply an ice pack to my wound.
How could she be so capable? Besides, she felt that something was wrong with how things were developing, but seeing that she was being taken care of by everyone around her, she couldn't figure out what was wrong.
"Why don't you not participate? Little Swallow, I'll help you persuade her?"
Ertai tentatively suggested.
He had initially wanted her to participate so they could see each other more often, but after seeing her injury, he no longer wanted her to participate. He figured he could see her less often, it didn't mean he couldn't see her at all.
As long as she's not angry, she has no reason to avoid him, and he can't possibly go several days without seeing her.
"Ertai, what are you saying? What do you mean by giving up? We've already surrendered. Father Emperor and Empress Dowager know everything. The entire palace is waiting to see the show. Don't demoralize us."
Little Swallow, who was standing to the side, was unhappy when Ertai tried to persuade the person she had finally convinced to give up.
"Ertai, don't try to steal my girlfriend!"
Ertai said something, but Xiaoyanzi kept churning out ton after ton of output, without giving Ertai a chance to speak.
The last sentence made Ertai fall silent for a moment. How come this little swallow always manages to get things right by accident? Although he wanted to steal her away, he couldn't say it now.
He would only reveal his feelings after he was completely sure everything was resolved, in case it involved her.
