Chapter 20 Chapter 20
Jia Guoye walked in and sat down.
He carefully held her calf and placed it on his thigh, fearing to hurt her.
He lowered his head, poured iodine on a soft cloth, and carefully applied it to clean her wound.
Jia Yourui leaned against the wall, her hands on the bed, and looked down at his focused look and slow movements. She felt that time had slowed down, and the pain in her calf seemed to be relieved.
His hair was shaved short, and his blue scalp could be easily seen, which showed that he was well-groomed.
His arms were dark and strong, with lumps of muscles on them, which were the result of Jia Guoye's years of hard work.
Jia Guoye's burns were not serious. She had watched fire documentaries before, and his wounds were not that terrible. His eyebrows and eyelashes were still there, but his face was covered with dark red and light red marks. The skin behind his ears was also intact.
As for the scars on his body, Jia Yourui blushed. She knew there were some, but not many.
Many years later, when they met again, Jia Guoye still had the same face.
Although the plastic surgery technology was very advanced at that time, he had never had surgery.
Later, he went to a plastic surgery hospital for consultation and slowly removed the scars on his face. When they got married and took wedding photos, his face was not much different from that of a normal person. With makeup, it was almost invisible.
When they were dating, she drove him to the plastic surgery hospital.
The traffic jam was quite serious on the road. In order to avoid being cut in, she put the car in first gear and stopped and started following the car in front. The speed of the car was as fast as a turtle crawling.
Jia Yourui was annoyed.
She turned the steering wheel and asked curiously: "It's been so many years, why didn't you remove the scars on your face earlier?"
Jia Guoye said casually: "I'm used to it. There's no need to bother. Besides, I don't make a living by my face."
Jia Yourui turned to look at him with an unfriendly smile and a playful look in her eyes.
She asked, "Why are you going through all this trouble now?"
Jia Yourui thought to herself, you better give me a reasonable explanation, why are you going through all this trouble with me now, it's so frustrating to be stuck in traffic.
Jia Guoye smiled, pinched her face, and said, "Because you are so beautiful."
Jia Yourui blushed, slapped his hand away, and said, "Stop it."
He laughed.
Later, Jia Yourui drove him to get his scars removed, and she never got impatient again.
...
Jia Guoye really didn't care that his face was ugly, after all, his face had been ruined since he was fifteen.
When he was young, Jia Guoye still minded it a little, because this ugly face brought him countless ridicule and sarcasm, and because he himself thought it looked scary;
later, he was busy making money, so he didn't care about the scar on his face;
then so many years passed, both he and the people around him were used to seeing his face, and only those who were not familiar with him would be surprised by his face, but he didn't care.
He felt very natural, as if he was born with such a face.
However, he actually met Xiao Rui.
Under his long-term pursuit, Xiao Rui began to respond to him.
The two of them were dating outside, and his face was undoubtedly eye-catching, especially with the particularly beautiful Xiao Rui beside him, which made the two of them even more mismatched.
Passers-by frequently turned their heads and pointed.
He could imagine what those people were thinking, envying him for being rich and having a good-looking girlfriend.
Next to Xiao Rui, his inferiority complex from his youth was revived.
His career was so successful that he was no longer the boy who was laughed at in Dongjia Village. His self-confidence was instilled by success.
But when he was with Xiao Rui, those eyes were too familiar and too piercing, as if he had returned to the past.
He felt uncomfortable and could not tolerate Xiao Rui being suspected and slandered by outsiders, so he decided to have surgery.
He had many surgeries and the final effect was very successful.
...
After Jia Guoye cleaned her wound, he looked up and said to her, "There is no gauze at home. I will go to the clinic to buy some. Wait for me."
Jia Yourui looked at her calf. The bright red flesh was covered with light brown iodine, and she looked miserable.
She shook her head and said, "There is no need to wrap it with gauze."
Jia Yourui urged her caringly, "Go to the field and continue cutting straw. I have already wasted a lot of time in the afternoon."
She would feel guilty if she delayed Jia Guoye's progress.
Jia Guoye said gently, "No, I can come here. Your wound is a bit deep. It has cut into the flesh. You still need to wrap it to prevent infection."
His voice was not loud, but very firm and unquestionable.
"Wait for me, I'll be right back."
