Seeing that Su Jinge didn't want to say more, Lin Xi knew that was just her personality and didn't care.
He can't show too much concern now. The wives in this world keep people at a distance. He can't be too impatient and needs to take it slow.
"I'm glad you're alright. Princess Mingyue, didn't you bring your maid with you? There will be many people at night, so please be careful."
After Lin Xi finished speaking, he stood up straight and took a step back, increasing the distance between them. His voice was calm, as if it was just a polite inquiry and concern.
Su Jinge noticed Lin Xi's movements and felt her heart stop for a moment. Is he... so eager to stay away from her?
Her slender white fingers curled uncomfortably in the wide sleeves, and it seemed as if the warmth of his palm still lingered on them...
Su Jinge lowered his eyebrows and his tone became colder.
"To answer the general, there were so many people around that I accidentally got separated from the maid."
As he raised his hand to salute, his sleeve slid down and the red mark on his wrist flashed before Lin Xi's eyes. If he hadn't had the support of his internal energy this time, he wouldn't have been able to see it so clearly.
Maybe because Su Jinge's skin is fair, any scar on it would be very conspicuous. Lin Xi could see clearly that there were several finger marks on it, and it had turned purple.
Before his brain could react, he had already lifted Su Jinge's sleeves to check.
If he saw it correctly, this was caused by someone pinching him, but the touch of his hand was a little too cold, it was summer.
"General..."
"What's wrong with your wrist?"
Lin Xi bent down and looked up, meeting Su Jinge's eyes.
The two voices rang out together, but Lin Xi's tone was full of concern and anger. Su Jinge's eyes were full of surprise, and even the tone of his voice had ups and downs, no longer a flat voice.
He...seems to care about me so much.
Su Jinge was secretly shocked and felt it was impossible.
She turned her head away to avoid Lin Xi's sight, and easily pulled her hand out of his hot palm. Her body involuntarily took a big step back, but a piercing pain came from her ankle.
She frowned, her face turned pale in an instant, she suppressed the scream from her mouth, and tried to steady herself.
Her foot...seems to have been sprained just now.
Lin Xi didn't notice anything unusual about Su Jinge. He noticed that the cold touch in his hand had disappeared, and he took a step back, secretly annoyed at his conditioned reflex.
No one spoke for a while, and the atmosphere between the two people was a little subtle.
In the end, it was Lin Xi who spoke first.
"Well, I... I like to study wounds. When I saw the red mark on the princess' wrist, I couldn't help but want to see what happened. From my observation, the mark on the princess' wrist was probably caused by someone pulling it. It needs to be treated with medicine as soon as possible."
The more Lin Xi spoke, the more guilty he felt, and his eyes wandered left and right, but his tone was well-controlled and serious. Su Jinge would never have thought that a dignified general would lie to her. Although she had doubts, she still believed it.
"General, you are absolutely right. It was caused by being pulled carelessly. I will apply medicine when I get back."
Su Jinge felt a little troubled when she thought about going back. It was fine when she didn't move just now, but after moving, her ankle seemed to hurt even more. It seemed that she could only wait for Lida to find her before she could go back.
After saying that, the two of them looked at each other in silence again.
