Seeing that Bai Xiaoruo was still confused, Xuan Mingyu was too lazy to explain to her in detail. He simply grabbed her injured leg and lifted it onto his own lap.
The movements were extremely rough, and Bai Xiaoruo was in so much pain that tears were about to come out. She felt like her legs were about to be broken. Couldn't he have been a little gentler?
When Xian Mingyu lifted the hem of her skirt to reveal the wound, Bai Xiaoruo realized just how badly her thigh had been injured.
So, is he about to apply medicine to himself?
From childhood to adulthood, no boy other than my mother has ever touched my feet, let alone carefully applied medicine to them...
However, the next second, Bai Xiaoruo wanted to take back her previous thought.
Xian Mingyu first gently wiped away the bloodstains from the bleeding wound on her leg with a cotton swab, then directly applied a bruise-reducing and swelling-reducing ointment, vigorously rubbing the bruises on Bai Xiaoruo's leg—
"Ouch! It hurts! It hurts! Be gentle!" Bai Xiaoruo really had the urge to hit someone.
He's rubbing so hard, he's going to break my bones! Is he doing this on purpose?
"Go easy, it'll heal faster, just bear with it!" Xuan Mingyu increased the pressure.
"It hurts! No! It really hurts..." Her aggrieved little face was in pain and tears were streaming down her face. She wanted to bear it, but it really hurt, even more than when Lu Xinyao pinched her hand until it bled a few days ago. She really couldn't bear it.
Xuan Mingyu glanced at Bai Xiaoruo, took a tissue from the table and handed it to her. "You're a grown woman, don't cry." He also handed his left hand to Bai Xiaoruo. "If it really hurts, hold my hand, but you can only hold it, not bite! Otherwise, you'll be sitting in my office for the next few days!"
If it weren't for his previous knowledge of massage and bone setting, and the fact that her injury was caused by him taking her glasses, making her unable to see and bumping her thigh on the corner of the coffee table, Xian Mingyu wouldn't have bothered to care when Bai Xiaoruo would recover or when she could be lively and energetic again.
He never wanted to owe anyone anything.
Bai Xiaoruo stared blankly at the left hand that Xuan Mingyu offered, and after a few seconds, she cautiously reached out and hugged his arm.
Such warm hands. Even just holding one of his hands, getting closer to him, Bai Xiaoruo felt like she was dreaming.
Xuan Mingyu rubbed it with a lot of force, which hurt a lot, but Bai Xiaoruo was able to endure it, as if he was her only motivation.
Perhaps because he had been painting too late last night, after rubbing Bai Xiaoruo's bruises and bandaging them, the little girl fell asleep while hugging his arm.
Well, she's come all this way, let her get a good night's sleep.
Xuan Mingyu gently removed Bai Xiaoruo's head from his shoulder, supported it with his hand, and then slowly pried open her small hands that were tightly gripping his arm. He laid her flat on the sofa, then took a small blanket from the lounge behind the office and covered her with it.
Now I can finally focus on my work. I'll take her home after get off work later, since she still has a thigh injury and can't get out of that door anyway.
***
When Bai Xiaoruo woke up, it was already evening.
The unfamiliar surroundings jolted her awake. She tried to sit up abruptly, but accidentally aggravated her thigh injury, causing her to cry out in pain.
Hearing her call, Xuan Mingyu, who was busy signing documents, looked up and glanced at Bai Xiaoruo on the sofa.
"Don't move around anymore, I'll take you back in a bit."
"You..." As the small blanket slipped off her body, Bai Xiaoruo realized that she had been covered with a small blanket without even noticing.
Was it the small blanket he found for me?
How embarrassing! I have no memory of when I fell asleep. I was sleeping so soundly. Did I embarrass myself in front of him?
She obediently kept quiet and didn't say anything more, so as not to disturb his work.
Bai Xiaoruo sat quietly on the sofa, covered with a small blanket, her eyes fixed on Xuan Mingyu at his desk not far away. Every move he made, his seriousness towards his work, and every frown he made were deeply imprinted in Bai Xiaoruo's eyes.
Everyone says that a man who is serious is the most handsome, and now that she has seen it with her own eyes for the first time, Bai Xiaoruo truly believes this saying.
She could never get enough of looking at him. If she could look at him like this for the rest of her life, even if neither of them spoke, Bai Xiaoruo would feel very satisfied.
After signing the last document, I closed the lid and put down the pen.
Xuan Mingyu got up and walked towards Bai Xiaoruo.
Bai Xiaoru stared blankly at him. Just as she was still at a loss, Xuan Mingyu suddenly bent down, removed the small blanket from her body, and picked her up from the sofa in one swift motion.
She obediently stopped struggling and wrapped her arms around his neck naturally.
After all, her thigh was still injured, and after all, she loved being in his arms...
As usual, as long as Xuan Mingyu didn't tell her in advance that he had to work overtime, Annie would go to Xuan Mingyu's office at the same time every day after get off work to tidy up his desk. The moment she opened the door, she bumped into Xuan Mingyu carrying Bai Xiaoruo and about to leave.
Annie's eyes widened, and her mouth instantly formed an "o" shape in surprise.
Good heavens, am I dreaming?
Boss, who is he holding in his arms?
Bai Xiaoruo!?
When did this little girl run into the boss's office?
She managed to take care of the boss in just a few days!
Lu Xinyao spent several months trying, but even when she sprained her ankle and screamed in pain, Xuan Mingyu didn't touch her once! Unbelievable! This is simply unbelievable!
