Upon hearing this, Shi Xi leaned closer and looked at the injured area on Qi Tingsong's lower back.
But nothing seemed amiss. Logically, the wound had been bandaged quite carefully, so there shouldn't have been any problems.
Qi Tingsong felt his approach and suddenly tensed up.
"...It seems like nothing's wrong." Shi Xi stepped back slightly.
Qi Tingsong put down the book in his hand and placed it under the cushion. "It just hurts a little."
“It’s alright,” he said.
"..." His words made Shi Xi doubt her own judgment, after all, Qi Tingsong was not actually a delicate protagonist.
So it would be best to open it up and check if the wound is infected, but Qi Tingsong refused to go to the hospital.
Shi Xi thought for a moment, then smiled at Ji Ruwen, "Senior Brother."
Upon seeing this, Ji Ruwen felt a sense of foreboding, thinking that Shi Xi wouldn't say anything nice.
Reason told him not to respond to Shi Xi's words.
But he still agreed, "What for?"
Sure enough, the next second they heard the other person say—
"The time has come to demonstrate our manor's hospitality."
Shi Xi pushed Ji Ruwen in front of Qi Tingsong, "Go, change the dressing for our guests who have come from afar!"
"..." Ji Ruwen took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to teach Shi Xi a lesson.
I just think I must have been out of my mind to think it was interesting to have Xu Youchu as my junior brother.
Which junior brother's first words to his senior brother are asking him to help change a stranger's dressing?!
He held back for a long time, but finally couldn't help but say—
"...I'm a warlock, not a male nurse!"
Shi Xi looked at Qi Tingsong, only to see him glance at Ji Ruwen and say, "Never mind, I'll do it myself."
As he spoke, he lifted the hem of his shirt up, grabbed the shirt with one hand, and began to untie the bandages with the other.
The bow was on her back. Qi Tingsong fiddled with it for a while, but instead of untying it, she tied a knot that was impossible to untie.
Shi Xi frowned as she watched, hesitating whether to help. At that moment, Qi Tingsong seemed to have lost his patience as well. He stood up, grabbed Shi Xi's hand, and pulled her to his side.
"Come here."
Shi Xi unwrapped the bandage and noticed that the wound was somewhat whitish. "What happened?"
"I broke a sweat," Qi Tingsong said casually.
Without pressing further, Shi Xi applied the medicine to the wound again, and this time tied the bow in front.
At this moment, Shi Xi was standing in front of Qi Tingsong.
Qi Tingsong's gaze lingered on Shi Xi's wrist for two seconds.
Shi Xi noticed his gaze and said, "Qin Budu gave it to me."
Just then, Ji Ruwen pushed up his glasses and suddenly asked a question.
Where are you planning to stay?
"We have to move rooms again?" Shi Xi asked in surprise.
Qi Tingsong frowned slightly...
Ji Ruwen nodded, "The first floor is the guest room, and the second floor is where we live."
He paused for a moment, then added, "The room next to mine is still empty."
Shi Xi wasn't interested in changing rooms, and besides, he still needed to make his presence known to Qi Tingsong from time to time, so he finally shook his head and said, "No."
"I'll be fine living on the first floor."
Ji Ruwen remained silent for a moment, her expression somewhat indifferent, then said, "Whatever you say."
...
Qin Budu taught his disciples that they never liked to talk about war on paper, but instead directly led people to handle affairs.
He only took Shi Xi with him this time; Qi Tingsong did not go with him.
Shi Xi guessed that it was because Qi Tingsong had just experienced the New Night, which was actually the case in the original plot.
Before Qi Tingsong's pure Yin constitution was resolved, Qin Budu would always let him rest for two days after each new moon.
