Forty minutes later.
"You just brought me home like that? Aren't you afraid I'm a bad guy?" Fu Jingheng asked, somewhat amused, looking at the girl who had snuggled up on the sofa as soon as she got home.
Qin Sheng was languid all over. Hearing this, she lifted her eyelids and glanced at him: "It's okay, you can't beat me."
Fu Jingheng: "..."
Qin Sheng had just regained consciousness, and having not slept all night, she was extremely tired.
However, adhering to the principle of putting customers first, she still mustered her strength and discussed with Fu Jingheng, "Shall I treat you after I wake up?"
Fu Jingheng: "Okay."
However, after glancing at the little girl's face, he paused and said, "Wait a while before you sleep."
He then turned around.
Qin Sheng didn't know what he was planning to do, nor did she have time to care; her eyelids were already drooping.
Until I felt a slightly cool touch on my forehead.
Qin Sheng opened her eyes and looked up.
What are you doing?
The little girl's voice was slightly hoarse, and her eyes were still misty with a thin layer of fog, making her look both obedient and pitiful.
Like a soft, dazed little white rabbit.
Fu Jingheng's fingers tightened.
He remained expressionless and replied, "Apply the medicine."
Qin Sheng then remembered the wound on her forehead, and a dark look flashed across her almond-shaped eyes.
Qin Xuehua...
The memories of the past two years that she had just received flashed through her mind. When she thought about the mess her adoptive parents had left her during those two years, Qin Sheng felt that her wounds, which had only been aching slightly, seemed to hurt even more.
"That's enough." Coming to her senses, Qin Sheng stepped back slightly, avoiding the other person's fingers that were resting on her forehead.
Fu Jingheng didn't care.
He screwed the cap off the ointment and placed it on the coffee table: "The weather is cold, so the wound is healing slowly. Remember to apply the ointment on time."
He glanced at Qin Sheng's face again, a faint smile appearing in his eyes: "Such a beautiful face, it would be such a waste to have a scar."
These words carried a hint of teasing. If someone else had said them, it would have given the impression of frivolity. But the person who said them was Fu Jingheng.
With a face that exudes classical charm, he perfectly embodies the phrase "a gentleman as fine as jade, unparalleled in the world." Qin Sheng truly finds it hard to associate him with the word "frivolous."
Qin Sheng withdrew her gaze from the man and softly hummed in agreement.
They're incredibly well-behaved.
Fu Jingheng's eyes darkened, suppressing the urge to reach out and pat the girl's head. He then told her to "go back to your room and sleep" before returning to the room Qin Sheng had assigned him.
Qin Sheng glanced at the ointment on the coffee table, slowly got up, went upstairs, and went to sleep.
*
Qin Sheng was awakened by a knock on the door.
She pulled her phone out from under her pillow and glanced at it: 6:03 PM.
I slept for almost ten hours.
She rubbed her head, which was still groggy from sleeping for so long, and stared blankly for a minute before finally lifting the covers and getting up.
downstairs.
Fu Jingheng was dressed the same as he was in the morning, but his usually impeccable shirt now had many creases, making it look slightly messy, which gave him a more down-to-earth and approachable appearance.
Qin Sheng had just reached the top of the stairs when she met the man's gaze.
The two nodded in acknowledgment, and Fu Jingheng explained, "The pharmacy you mentioned was short of a few herbs, so I had them delivered."
Qin Sheng nodded, not minding at all.
Fu Jingheng opened the door, and immediately a figure darted in, accompanied by exclamations of admiration.
"Fu Jingheng, how much do you attract? You've come all the way to Ancheng and people are still chasing you. The ancients said that heaven is jealous of handsome men, and they were right!"
"Speaking of which, why did you buy a house in Ancheng? Are you really planning to live here permanently? Does your father know about this...?"
His words abruptly ended there. Xie Fang stared in astonishment at the girl drinking water from a cup not far away, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
"She...she..."
"Qin Sheng, the owner of this house, is also my savior," Fu Jingheng said as he closed the door.
Xie Fang's expression became even stranger: "She... saved you?"
Despite Fu Jingheng's otherworldly appearance, Xie Fang, who had witnessed him in action, knew all too well his fighting prowess. He had no idea that the assassins those people had hired could do anything to him, let alone that this petite girl could save him!
So, this gentleman has finally fallen for the young lady?
Xie Fang's gaze involuntarily fell on Qin Sheng. When he saw the girl's exquisite and beautiful face, he was astonished and felt that he had definitely seen the truth!
He immediately composed himself and put on what he considered his most friendly and approachable smile: "Hello, Sheng Sheng. I am Xie Fang. You can call me Brother Xie, or Brother Fang as well."
Qin Sheng glanced at him and nodded, aloof yet polite: "Hello."
Xie Fang immediately became as excited as a fool: "Great! Great! Great!"
But she didn't notice that the man behind her had narrowed his eyes slightly.
Sister Sheng Sheng? Brother Xie?
fine.
Fu Jingheng walked past Xie Fang to Qin Sheng, poured another glass of warm water, and took the glass from her hand: "I just got up, drink something hot."
Qin Sheng paused for a moment, then took two sips from the water cup that Fu Jingheng had given her, and indeed felt a little better.
"Thank you." She nodded to Fu Jingheng in thanks.
He then looked at Xie Fang, mainly at the medicinal herbs he was carrying: "Give them to me."
Xie Fang barely managed to close his jaw, which was about to drop to the ground. He glanced at Fu Jingheng first, and only after receiving his confirmation did he step forward and hand the item to Qin Sheng. He hesitated for a moment, but couldn't resist his curiosity: "Sister Sheng Sheng knows medicine?"
