The honest Gu Changyuan nodded repeatedly.
Gu Changzheng then returned to his room.
Inside the room, Lu Huaijiao was rummaging through drawers and cabinets, looking for her ointment. Seeing Gu Changzheng come in, she snorted when she couldn't find the ointment and plopped down on the bed.
Gu Changzheng walked over and searched through the pile of things Lu Huaijiao had brought out. He easily found the ointment that Lu Huaijiao had missed.
He took it and walked to the bedside.
"Should I apply the medicine for you, or should I apply it myself?"
Gu Changzheng asked.
Lu Huaijiao raised her head and glared at him: "Does that even need to be said? How can I apply medicine with only one hand?" She held her hand out to him and then lazily leaned against the blanket.

"Don't move! Don't move until you've washed your hands."
"If you don't wash your hands and want to touch this tube of ointment, you'll have to step over my dead body!"
Did they step over the corpse?
Gu Changzheng was amused and annoyed by Lu Huaijiao's silly words. At the same time, he was reflecting on how he had ever gotten angry with such a foolish person as Lu Huaijiao.
This makes absolutely no sense.
"Fourth brother..."
There was a knocking sound at the door.
