Han Yixian didn't think anything of it. He simply rolled up Du Yuhan's sleeve, poured some medicated oil on his hands, and said, "Bear with it."
As he spoke, he grabbed Du Yuhan's wrist with one hand and began massaging her arm with the other. He was indeed very forceful.
Du Yuhan couldn't help but try to dodge, but Han Yixian held her hand so she couldn't move.
Du Yuhan couldn't help but cry out, "Ouch, Brother Han, please be gentle! My little arm can't take such force, what if it breaks? Ouch, be gentle, be gentle..."
Hearing Du Yuhan's quirky words, Han Yixian's lips curled up slightly. This was more like a lively young girl. His usual composed and old-fashioned demeanor made people uncomfortable.
Du Yuhan secretly glanced at Han Yixian's slightly upturned lips and his softened expression, and knew that he was probably not angry anymore.
Du Yuhan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that Han Yixian wasn't angry anymore; all her shameless attempts to act cute hadn't been in vain.
Thinking of this, Du Yuhan blushed slightly. But then she thought, she's just a young girl now, who would know that an old soul resides in her tender body?
After hearing Du Yuhan's cries, Liu Gang finished cleaning up the kitchen and entered the room. Seeing Du Yuhan trying to hide but unable to run away, and crying out in pain, he laughed and said, "Yuhan, just bear with it. The troupe leader's technique is very good. After he massages it for you, the pain will subside quickly. Otherwise, it will take a long time for your arm to heal, and we won't be able to eat meat for a while."
At this moment, Du Yuhan unconsciously reverted to her girlish mindset, pretending to glare at Liu Gang and saying, "You, Liu Gang, I'm in dire straits right now, and you're still thinking about eating meat. Next time I go hunting, I'll crush you with meat."
Liu Gang knew Du Yuhan was joking with him, and laughed, "Alright then, come on, crush me with your flesh, dying from a full stomach wouldn't be bad either."
Du Yuhan pouted and said, "Dream on. From now on, you can just be a porter."
As Han Yixian massaged Du Yuhan's arm, he listened to the two teenagers bickering, and felt that the once quiet courtyard had become lively and vibrant.
Du Yuhan was in so much pain that she broke out in a sweat, with a fine layer of sweat appearing on her forehead.
Han Yixian turned to Liu Gang and said, "Gangzi, boil more water in the pot, and take it to Yuhan in the west room later."
Although Liu Gang was only eighteen years old, his two years as a service soldier had given him some insight. He could tell from Du Yuhan's sweaty face why the regimental commander wanted him to boil more water.
Han Yixian turned to Du Yuhan and said, "Go back to your room and wash up in a bit. Take a good rest these few days. Let Liu Gang do the work. We'll talk about it again in a few days when your arm is better."
Du Yuhan wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "My arm feels much better, thank you, Brother Han."
After the massage, Du Yuhan went back to her room to wash up. After washing up, she brought the water to the living room, where Liu Gang was responsible for pouring it out.
Lying in bed, Du Yuhan felt her arm was much better and estimated it would be fully healed in a few days.
She felt that perhaps because of her past life, she was no longer as afraid of Han Yixian as she had been in her previous life.
She can now say that she is not afraid of Han Yixian at all; all she feels is the respect that has always been in her heart.
In her past life, she spent several years with Han Yixian. After learning that he had a woman he loved, she tried her best to treat him as an older brother and kept her feelings of love hidden in her heart.
Later, she married Zhou Zhengye, and her heart gradually turned to him.
However, their marriage ultimately could not withstand the pressure from her mother-in-law and the sabotage from others, leading to the breakdown of her relationship with Zhou Zhengye.
In her past life, her mother-in-law used Han Yixian to attack her, saying that she and Han Yixian had an affair.
The mother-in-law even went to her hometown to investigate and said that she was originally supposed to be Han Yixian's wife, but Han Yixian didn't want her anymore and gave her to Zhou Zhengye.
Du Yuhan knew that Zhou Zhengye liked her, and they had a period of tender and sweet days. However, in the end, he could not resist his mother's instigation and began to doubt her, neglect her, and eventually divorce her.
She knew that Zhou Zhengye finally made up his mind to divorce her because Han Yixian stood up for her, which made Zhou Zhengye even more suspicious of her.
She didn't know how Han Yixian negotiated with Zhou Zhengye back then. She was already heartbroken and didn't want to care about anything related to Zhou Zhengye anymore. Even though she knew she was pregnant, she didn't tell Zhou Zhengye to try and save their marriage.
After the divorce, everyone thought she would go to Han Yixian, but how could she, with her stubborn nature, possibly cause Han Yixian any more trouble?
That would only embolden Zhou Zhengye's mother to smear Han Yixian even more recklessly. So she chose to leave, leaving behind everyone she knew.
At that time, she had no relatives left in the world. Although she knew she had biological parents, she didn't know if they were still alive or where they were. The only thing that kept her going was the child in her womb.
In her despair, she activated her spatial dimension, which gave her hope to survive and allowed her to safely leave China and arrive in Hong Kong.
At first, her life was really tough after she smuggled herself into Hong Kong, but her life gradually improved after the space was upgraded. She gritted her teeth and persevered for the sake of the child in her womb.
She eventually moved to country M, where she finally settled down. She raised her child while also developing her career.
Later, after she returned to China, she met Zhou Zhengye again. Zhou Zhengye knelt in front of her, confessed his sins, and asked for her forgiveness. He even wanted to divorce his wife at the time and remarry her.
But by then, her heart was already as still as water, and she had no love for Zhou Zhengye whatsoever. In addition, she knew that Han Yixian had passed away, and all she felt for Zhou Zhengye was resentment.
Later, even the hatred disappeared, and they treated each other as strangers.
Zhou Zhengye only learned after their divorce that she hadn't gone to see Han Yixian. It's said that Zhou Zhengye was filled with remorse and searched for her for a long time without success; everyone assumed she was dead.
In the end, Zhou Zhengye couldn't resist the responsibilities to his family and married another woman. Unfortunately, they never had a child together, perhaps as punishment from heaven.
She will never have any contact with Zhou Zhengye again in this life, nor will she harbor any illusions about Han Yixian.
After Han Yixian's leg heals, he will once again be a favored son of heaven. She and Han Yixian are from two different worlds and it's impossible for them to be together.
Moreover, Han Yixian's mother was even more powerful and assertive than Zhou Zhengye's mother, and would absolutely not allow Han Yixian to marry a rural girl with no family background and no reputation.
Even though she knew that her biological parents were of high social standing, she didn't want them to get involved in trouble because of her in the future.
All she wanted was to heal Han Yixian's leg as soon as possible so he could stand up, and then she could retire gracefully and return to her biological parents to live a peaceful life.
Her life's wish is to repay Han Yixian and then protect her family.
