Chapter 277: Two People Alone (1)
"What's going on?"
Shen Miao was stunned for a moment. In her opinion, such a frivolous behavior should have been stopped by a stern rebuke. However, for some reason, she answered honestly, "When I was running away just now, I was injured by a dagger."
Xie Jingxing glanced at her, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and threw it to her: "Apply the medicine."
Shen Miao took it and said nothing more, thinking about applying medicine. However, because she was sitting on the ground at the moment and had been soaking in the cold lake water for a long time, she had no strength at all. Not to mention applying medicine, even sitting up was a bit difficult.
Seeing this, Xie Jingxing had no choice but to walk over to her, holding her shoulders and helping her onto the small couch on the boat. Shen Miao had lived two lives and was not a young girl who had just begun to fall in love. Naturally, she would not be embarrassed by being alone with her boyfriend. However, she was wearing Xie Jingxing's loose clothes, and her snow-white shoulders were exposed. When the cold wind blew, she didn't know whether it was the cold or the discomfort, but goose bumps appeared on her skin.
Before she could say anything, something warm came over her head and buried her head in it. Shen Miao shook her head and found that it was Xie Jingxing's fox fur coat that covered her. The fox fur was warm. Shen Miao subconsciously wrapped it tighter, leaving only her small face the size of a palm exposed. Looking at Xie Jingxing without saying a word, she really looked like a furry little fox.
Xie Jingxing found it a bit funny, he stood up and walked to the other end, took something, squatted in front of Shen Miao, and stretched out his hand to grab Shen Miao's legs.
“What are you doing?” Shen Miao avoided and asked.
"If you don't take medicine to your wound, it will fester tomorrow." Xie Jingxing said, "Don't try to take advantage of me."
Shen Miao: "..." This person's words were really annoying. What did he mean by taking advantage of him? And he said it with a serious expression. Shen Miao simply didn't want to pay attention to him. She said: "I can do it myself."
"Okay." Xie Jingxing stood up without saying a word, leaning against the cabinet next to him with his arms crossed as if he was watching a show, and said, "I'll watch you, you come."
Shen Miao leaned down, but her hand could barely hold the medicine bottle steady. Previously, when she was arguing with the two men, she had been thrown several times by the thin tall man, causing her whole body to ache. At this moment, her hands were trembling. She struggled to pull open the medicine bottle, but nearly spilled the contents.
After struggling hard for a long time, she finally gave up, but she didn't want to admit defeat to Xie Jingxing so easily, so she sat in the snow-white fox fur, staring at Xie Jingxing without saying a word.
Xie Jingxing laughed out loud, snatched the medicine bottle from Shen Miao's hand, squatted down again, held Shen Miao's calf, and said nonchalantly: "I'm not a good person. If you want to vent your anger, I'm afraid you will gamble your leg."
Shen Miao remained silent.
Xie Jingxing gripped her calf and slowly lifted her trouser leg. His hands were cold and slender, seemingly covered in the light calluses of a martial artist. As they rubbed against her delicate skin, Shen Miao felt an uncomfortable sensation, as if her skin itself was also heating up. The next moment, the fabric that had been stuck to the wound due to the blood was violently ripped open, causing Shen Miao to nearly cry out in pain.
"The wound is quite deep." Xie Jingxing examined it carefully and frowned, "Why didn't you tell me before?"
"I didn't expect you to be so kind," Shen Miao said. She truly hadn't thought Xie Jingxing would be so kind as to apply medicine to her. Given their friendship, Xie Jingxing's coming to save her life today could be considered a gesture of deep affection. Such a thoughtful person wasn't necessarily a kind person, so Shen Miao couldn't think of any reason why Xie Jingxing would help her. Therefore, she decided to wait until she returned to the Shen residence to deal with the leg injury.
