Lin Yusheng smiled and said, "Putting aside the saying 'a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness,' today, I can say that I went through life and death with you. You protected me and even got injured, so I should thank you."
"Lin Yusheng, I protected you today because you were sitting in my passenger seat. I would have done the same for anyone else."
Lin Yusheng's smile widened. "So, I'm even more grateful to someone as wonderful as you."
"A good person? Ha!" Lu Zhengye chuckled self-deprecatingly. The depth in his eyes was like an abyss, making people unconsciously want to fall into it, but also fearing the unknown dangers within.
"I have never been a good person."
Lin Yusheng swallowed hard, then mustered her courage and said, "Whether it's good or bad, you don't need to tell me. I'll judge for myself. I'm going to cook a midnight snack. Leave the door open for me, okay?"
Lin Yusheng ran away without waiting for his reply.
Lu Zhengye stood there, stunned, for a long time.
He then gave a mocking laugh and muttered to himself, "Lin Yusheng, how much of your sincerity is there?"
...
Lin Yusheng cooked two bowls of egg noodles and then ran next door with them.
As expected, Lu Zhengye left the door open, and Lin Yusheng went straight in.
She placed two bowls of noodles on the dining table and then sat there waiting for Lu Zhengye.
Lu Zhengye came down shortly after.
He changed into a gray pajama set, which covered his tall and slender figure.
Lin Yusheng suddenly felt her mouth was dry and looked away.
"Lu Zhengye, come and eat."
Lu Zhengye looked at the two bowls of noodles on the table and asked Lin Yusheng with his expression.
Lin Yusheng said matter-of-factly, "I didn't want to eat late-night snacks alone, so I came over to eat with you."
Lu Zhengye didn't mind much and picked up his chopsticks to eat without any hesitation.
While eating, Lin Yusheng also observed the injury on his hand.
The bruises on my joints were severe, and my middle finger was bleeding.
Actually, she brought medicine with her, her ultimate goal being to help him treat his wounds.
Seeing that Lu Zhengye was eating faster than her, Lin Yusheng also became anxious and sped up her pace.
As a result, he choked and coughed incessantly.
Lin Yusheng blushed with embarrassment.
Lu Zhengye poured her a glass of water and handed it to her. Lin Yusheng took it with a little embarrassment and then turned to drink it.
Lu Zhengye took in her little expressions and movements, and a slight smile appeared on his lips as he looked down.
If Lin Yusheng saw this scene, she would be very happy.
Lu Zhengye slowed down his eating pace, and the two of them finished eating at about the same time.
Lin Yusheng placed the bowl on the tray and said, "I'm full. I brought some ointment, let me apply it for you."
Lin Yusheng took out a tube of ointment from the pocket of her pajamas.
Lu Zhengye looked at the injury on his hand; in fact, it wasn't serious for him.
So he said, "No need."
"I can't refuse, I've been waiting for you here for so long." Lin Yusheng's tone was slightly aggrieved.
She secretly observed him and, seeing that Lu Zhengye did not show any obvious rejection, she went over and pulled his arm.
"Let's go, let's apply the medicine on the sofa."
Lin Yusheng discovered that Lu Zhengye was just cold in his speech, but actually quite soft-hearted.
And so, she obediently followed her over to have the medicine applied.
Lu Zhengye's tall body sank into the sofa.
Lin Yusheng is removing the ointment; the ointment is new.
Give me your hand.
Lu Zhengye stretched out his injured right hand, and Lin Yusheng pulled it onto her thigh.
When Lu Zhengye felt Lin Yusheng's body temperature through her clothes, he froze.
But Lin Yusheng was focused solely on applying the medicine, her expression so absorbed that she seemed oblivious to the sudden physical contact between the two.
Lu Zhengye could only see her delicate profile, with a few stray hairs falling down.
Lin Yusheng squeezed the ointment onto her finger and then gently applied it.
Lu Zhengye's hands were long and sexy, with prominent but not exaggeratedly protruding veins, distinct knuckles, and light pink nail polish.
Lin Yusheng slightly touched her hand and swallowed.
When he reached the bleeding knuckle of Tu's middle finger, Lu Zhengye's hand unconsciously tightened.
Lin Yusheng then truly felt Lu Zhengye's hand enveloping her thigh, and her face immediately turned bright red.
But now she was applying medicine, and she forced herself not to think about these random things, continuing to apply the medicine with her head down, but she was much faster.
Finally, "it's finished."
Lin Yusheng breathed a sigh of relief, her forehead beaded with sweat.
Lu Zhengye removed his hand and then spread his palm out in front of Lin Yusheng.
Lin Yusheng looked at him, puzzled.
Lu Zhengye said, "It's only fair to reciprocate, so I'll apply the medicine for you."
"Huh?" Lin Yusheng's injury was on her stomach; how could she possibly be embarrassed?
"I've already applied it."
"You're lying. This ointment should have been prescribed by the hospital, and it's new. Besides, you only smell of shower gel, not medicine."
Lin Yusheng opened her mouth slightly, incredulous that Lu Zhengye had observed so carefully.
She stammered, "I...I'll apply it myself when I get back."
“You don’t know how to apply it,” Lu Zhengye said confidently.
Lin Yusheng blinked. "How did you know?"
“You’re afraid of pain. When you were applying the medicine for me just now, you seemed to feel it as if you were experiencing it yourself. Your brows were furrowed and you were breathing softly.”
How did you observe so carefully?
Lu Zhengye paused for a moment, then said, "I'm used to it."
Lin Yusheng disagreed, saying, "I'll apply it myself when I get back. Besides, my injury is on my stomach, so it's inconvenient for you."
