Qin Yu sipped his tea, feeling his father-in-law scrutinizing him. He felt uneasy, but his face remained expressionless.
Stay calm.
"Are you injured?" Wen Moqing's soft voice rang in my ears.
Qin Yu was taken aback for a moment, then moved his shoulder blade. A dense, tingling pain came from his back shoulder. He said nonchalantly, "It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."
Wen Mo raised an eyebrow. "If my daughter knew you were keeping this from her, she'd probably make a scene."
They kept it a secret quite well.
They knew to apply mentholatum to their bodies to mask the subtle smell of blood.
Lin Xiaoxiao was naturally also puzzled and wondered if he was injured. Qin Yushen said that he hadn't slept for several days and needed to apply some cooling balm to wake up.
The reason was reasonable, and Lin Xiaoxiao was so happy about his return that she had no doubts.
Qin Yushen paused slightly, then smiled helplessly, "Dad is keeping it a secret for me because he's afraid she'll worry?"
Wen Mo tossed his head and refused without hesitation, "I don't have the guts to help you, your dad."
If he becomes an accomplice, his daughter will definitely make a scene.
He won't do a business that loses money.
Qin Yushen: "......."
He sighed, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
The uncle noticed that he was still damp, so he must have taken a shower before coming. "There's a first-aid kit in your dad's room. Go get some medicine, so you don't get an infection."
They came in such a hurry, they probably didn't have time to apply the medicine.
Wen Mo put down his cup, stood up, and patted his son-in-law's uninjured shoulder. Qin Yu understood and followed him.
"Where's Xiao Qin?" When Wen Shiyu and Lin Xiaoxiao came out of the kitchen, only their uncle was in the yard.
Lin Xiaoxiao said, "Dad is gone too."
Are the two of them going to get into a fight?
Seeing that Lin Xiaoxiao was about to go out to look for someone, the uncle quickly said, "Xiao Qin got a little injured, and your dad went to apply medicine to him."
"How did you get hurt?" Wen Shiyu asked anxiously.
Uncle glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao, and sure enough, his face darkened. He coughed softly, "That child probably didn't say anything because she was afraid we would worry."
Lin Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and said to Wen Shiyu, "Mom, you stay with Uncle, I'll go take a look."
Wen Shiyu nodded.
He watched as his daughter walked into her room with a blank expression.
Inside the room, at his father-in-law's request, Qin Yushen took off his shirt, revealing his strong and muscular upper body. His skin had been tanned a little by the sun and wind, but it was still much whiter than Wen Mo's, with clearly defined muscle lines.
A deep, almost bone-revealing wound appeared on the back of Wen Mo's left shoulder.
Wen Mo chuckled and pressed on his wound. "This is the minor injury you were talking about?"
Qin Yu gasped, "As long as they don't die, they'll only be minor injuries."
"You do have guts." Wen Mo glanced at him, took out some iodine from the first-aid kit, and disinfected the area around the slightly whitish wound.
While disinfecting, she said, "It's impossible for such a large wound to heal in a short time. Are you just going to keep this from my daughter like this?"
Qin Yu felt the stinging pain from his wound and shook his head. "I'll tell her tonight."
He had just returned, and Lin Xiaoxiao was in a happy mood. If he told her about his injury at this time, worry would overshadow her joy.
He wanted to make her happy.
"Qin Yushen, I'm angry." Lin Xiaoxiao pushed open the door and walked in, her face full of anger, but her eyes were filled with deep heartache.
I really don't know what to say about this man.
I'm so angry.
Wen Mo raised an eyebrow, put down the gauze, and first expressed his loyalty, "Daughter, Dad told you beforehand that he wanted me to help keep it a secret from you, but I didn't agree."
Qin Yu looked at him in disbelief.
You not only didn't help cover it up, but you also betrayed me?
Wen Mo wiped his hands and walked outside. "Alright, I'll leave the bandaging to you."
Lin Xiaoxiao picked up the iodine, walked behind him, glanced at the wound, and frowned. "Qin Yushen, are you trying to break my heart?"
"I didn't." Qin Yushen immediately denied it, and touched her belly in a conciliatory manner, the meaning of which was very clear: she was pregnant, so don't be angry.
Lin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and didn't ask him how he got injured, since it was probably on the battlefield anyway.
After applying anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and healing-promoting medicine to the wound, Lin Xiaoxiao took out a green pill. Despite it being an extremely precious medicine, she crushed it without hesitation, applied the powder to the wound, and then bandaged it with gauze.
"Honey, I was wrong, please don't be angry." Qin Yushen kept an eye on her expression the whole time.
I drifted off while looking at her, thinking how beautiful my darling wife was. She was fair and delicate, with a small face that was full of expressions; she was beautiful in every way.
I finally came to my senses, only to be glared at by my wife.
Admit your mistake quickly.
Lin Xiaoxiao snorted and tied a tight knot. "I'm warning you, Qin Yushen, if you lie to me again, you'll be in big trouble."
"If I accidentally get injured in the future, I will keep it from you, I will keep it from you completely."
Qin Yushen's expression changed. "No."
The thought of Lin Xiaoxiao getting injured without his knowledge, not telling him, and secretly licking her wounds like a little animal made his heart clench, and a fine pain spread from his heart to his limbs.
I feel terrible.
He slumped his head against Lin Xiaoxiao's shoulder, his voice low and weak, "You can't hide it from me, do you hear me, wife? Otherwise I'll be miserable."
While he was using his kung fu, Lin Xiaoxiao checked his wound and was relieved to find that it wasn't bleeding.
Seeing him clinging to her like a big puppy, a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes, but her voice was stiff, "You know that it hurts you when I keep things from you, but if you keep things from me, don't you think I'm also hurt? We agreed to be honest with each other."
"You didn't even tell me you were injured, and when I told you to take a shower, you knew you had a wound on your shoulder and still went. You really are... humph."
Lin Xiaoxiao gave a nasal hum.
Qin Yushen had never felt such regret before. He tenderly cupped Lin Xiaoxiao's face in his hands, showering her with delicate kisses, and whispered an apology, "Don't cry, baby. It's my fault. I swear I'll never hide anything from you again. If..."
Lin Xiaoxiao covered his mouth, wiping away the tears in her eyes, "It's good that you know you were wrong."
God knows how heartbroken she was when she saw the white, whitish wound on his shoulder from being soaked in the bath.
Although I know he's keeping it from me because he doesn't want me to worry, the fact that he's keeping it from me makes me even more worried.
She didn't even know her own man was injured. How can that be allowed?
This trend must not be encouraged.
Qin Yu lowered his eyes, truly regretting it.
Lin Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "Hmph, dealing with you is a piece of cake."
After the two came out of the room, Qin Yushen was clearly in a dejected mood. Wen Mo smiled gloatingly when he saw this, "Hey, how can you hide something like an injury from your family? You agree, son-in-law, right?"
Qin Yushen: "......"
This father-in-law is so unruly and irresponsible.
