Chapter 376: Dragonfly Skimming the Water
Xiao Xixi knelt beside the prince, rolled up his sleeves, untied the cloth, revealing the hideous and terrible wound.
When she saw the wound, she remembered how the prince had protected her without regard for his own safety when facing the assassin.
In such a dangerous situation, a normal person should ensure his or her own safety first, and then consider protecting others.
But the prince did not.
He stood in front of her without even thinking about it.
It was an instinctive reaction, without any thinking or rationality.
Xiao Xixi couldn't help but say.
"Thank you."
Luo Qinghan lowered his eyes and looked at her: "Thank you for what?"
"Thank you for protecting me."
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "The reason why I protected you was because I didn't know you knew martial arts. I originally thought you were a weak woman who couldn't even tie a chicken, but I didn't expect you to be so skilled. Even without my protection, you can still be safe and sound."
Xiao Xixi shook her head and said seriously: "This has nothing to do with whether I know martial arts or not. What I want to thank you for is your kindness. Not everyone can protect me desperately like you when I encounter danger. Thank you so much."
Initially she chose the prince as the target of the mission just to be lazy.
But now, she felt fortunate.
She was glad that she chose the prince, Luo Qinghan, and not anyone else.
Others would not expose themselves to danger to protect her.
Only Luo Qinghan would do this.
He may not be a good man in the traditional sense, but at least he is a very good man to her.
Xiao Xixi stretched out her hands and hugged his neck.
She repeated the three words again in his ear.
"Thank you."
Luo Qinghan sat there without moving, letting her hug him.
He knew that Xiao Xixi was special to him. Whether in terms of emotions or other aspects, she had an irreplaceable and important position.
But what he didn't expect was that he would even be willing to sacrifice his own life to protect her.
At the moment when danger came, before his brain could make any judgment, his body had already stood in front of Xiao Xixi.
Looking back, he felt that he had been too impulsive.
But if he were to do it again, he would probably still do the same.
He may be upset about his impulsiveness.
But he won't regret it.
Xiao Xixi let him go and started applying medicine to him.
Her movements were very light and gentle, and she even stopped in the middle to ask.
"Does it hurt?"
Luo Qinghan wanted to say that it didn't hurt, but when he met her gaze full of concern and nervousness, the words on his lips changed.
"pain."
Xiao Xixi lowered her head and blew air towards his wound, muttering as she blew: "Hoo, hoo, it won't hurt anymore."
The warm breath sprayed on the wound, giving me a tingling sensation.
Luo Qinghan wondered what kind of cutie this was? How could she be so cute?
I really want to hide her in my pocket so that no one can see her.
Xiao Xixi said seriously, "When I was a kid, I was naughty and fell down while climbing a tree and injured my arm. My master told me that as long as I blow on the wound, the pain will go away."
Luo Qinghan: "It seems to be somewhat helpful. It doesn't hurt as much as before."
"Then I'll give you another blow."
Xiao Xixi kept blowing air on his wound, and her cheeks puffed up and down like a cute little squirrel.
Luo Qinghan just lowered his eyes and looked at her, the corners of his mouth involuntarily raised slightly.
He called out softly.
"Hehe."
Xiao Xixi looked up subconsciously, wondering why he was calling her?
Unexpectedly, the next moment, the prince lowered his head and kissed her lips.
Xiao Xixi was stunned.
She opened her eyes involuntarily and her mind went blank.
The kiss was light and shallow, and it ended immediately.
Like a dragonfly skimming the water, just a gentle touch.
When Xiao Xixi came to her senses, the dragonfly had already flown away, leaving only ripples swaying in her heart.
She stared blankly at the prince in front of her, and it took a long while before she uttered a word.
"What are you doing?"
Luo Qinghan said calmly, "Nothing."
If it were another girl, she would probably be too embarrassed to ask further.
But Xiao Xixi refused to let the other party go just like that. She insisted on getting to the bottom of the matter.
"Don't play dumb, why did you kiss me just now?"
Luo Qinghan really had no way to explain this problem.
Why kiss her?
Because I thought she was so cute, I couldn't help but want to kiss her.
But he couldn't say that.
He said expressionlessly: "I didn't kiss you, it was just your illusion."
Xiao Xixi was shocked: "You clearly kissed me, but you still refuse to admit it. You're just refusing to admit it? You scumbag!"
Luo Qinghan: “…”
He just kissed her, how did it become clear that he had taken advantage of her?
This is too easy to eat, right?!
Xiao Xixi: "I gave you a kiss in vain, but you treated me like this, you have no conscience, I won't give you a kiss anymore!"
She angrily applied herbs to him and re-bandaged the wound.
…
Near the early morning, Luo Qinghan suddenly started to have a fever.
His whole body was burning hot, and even the breath he exhaled was frighteningly hot.
Xiao Xixi couldn't fall asleep because she was worried about the prince's safety. She would reach out and touch the prince's forehead from time to time to check his body temperature.
It was precisely because of her concern that she noticed the prince's abnormality at the first moment.
She quickly ran out and wrapped the ice and snow with a handkerchief to make a simple cooling pack.
She placed the "cooling pack" on Luo Qinghan's forehead.
It's not enough to cool down by just relying on these things.
Xiao Xixi went to get a basin of cold water, soaked a cloth in the cold water, and wiped his body.
Her series of actions startled Yue Laosan and his wife who were sleeping soundly.
Yue Laosan put on his clothes, walked out the door, and wanted to see what happened.
When he saw Xiao Xixi's actions, he roughly guessed what was going on.
"My dear, does your husband have a fever?"
Xiao Xixi nodded and said yes.
Yue Lao San couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. According to his experience, once the whole body is hot, it means that the injury has worsened. This is very dangerous for the patient. Whether he can survive depends on whether his life is strong enough.
Xiao Xixi asked, "Grandpa, do you have any liquor?"
In addition to smoking dry tobacco, Yue Laosan also likes drinking. He has a jar of Shaodaozi in his home. The wine was specially brought to him by his daughter when she returned to her parents' home last year.
He has never been willing to drink it.
He looked at Luo Qinghan who was already unconscious, and then at Xiao Xixi whose eyes were red with anxiety, and finally he couldn't bear to refuse.
"Wait a minute, I'll get it for you."
Soon Yue Laosan brought a full bowl of white wine.
