Hearing Zhao Pandi's words, the female students, seeing that nothing was wrong, returned to their dormitories.
Wu Shishi cried so hard her eyes were streaked with tears, she looked so pitiful.
Sudan turned to Xia Lan and asked with a smile, "Lan Lan, would you like us to give you a massage too?"
"No need, no need."
Xia Lan slowly waved her hand and shook her head, hoping they could let go of this idea.
"Judging from your expression, you're not scared, are you?" Sudan grinned, reaching out his ghostly hand towards Xia Lan.
"Ouch!" As soon as Sultan's hand touched Xia Lan's leg, Xia Lan was startled by the tingling sensation in her leg.
"Oh dear, your leg is in even worse shape than Shishi's..." Sudan could tell at a glance that Xia Lan's condition was much more serious than Wu Shishi's.
Xia Lan's eyes reddened as Sudan pressed her down, and she begged for mercy.
"Dandan, please stop pressing it."
The sight of Xia Lan, pleading pitifully while shedding tears, completely charmed Sultan. She never expected that Xia Lan, who always seemed so calm and collected in front of her and could handle anything, would have such an adorable side.
"Oh no, if you don't massage your leg, you won't be able to get up tomorrow."
Sudan smiled and reached out to massage Xia Lan.
Xia Lan clutched the blanket tightly, her eyes filled with tears from the pain, and she suppressed the urge to scream.
"I'll do it!" A figure suddenly jumped in through the window.
Sudan and the others looked at Qin Yu in astonishment, wondering why he had come to the girls' dormitory.
Qin Yu brought the ointment to Xia Lan's bedside. Xia Lan looked at Qin Yu pitifully, and Qin Yu was stunned for a moment before his hands tightened.
"Brother Yu~"
Their pitiful appearance almost made Qin Yu lose his temper.
Qin Yu slowly sat down beside Xia Lan's bed, took out the ointment he had found, spread it evenly on his hands, and then rubbed it on Xia Lan's legs.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."
Xia Lan wiped away her tears; the aches and pains in her body made her cry uncontrollably.
Qin Yu, who usually contacts her, had a stern face and didn't even lighten his pressure, still insisting on giving her a massage.
Xia Lan felt her legs getting hotter and hotter, as if they had been sprayed with chili water, and it started to hurt.
"Brother Yu, it hurts so much..."
Xia Lan couldn't stop her physiological tears, and she looked at Qin Yu with teary eyes.
Qin Yu kept a straight face and didn't stop no matter how Xia Lan moved. Sudan and the others saw that Qin Yu was hitting her hard and felt that Xia Lan must be in a lot of pain.
But Xia Lan's expression suggests otherwise.
After easing Xia Lan's tense muscles, Qin Yu tossed the ointment to Sudan and the others, then nimbly flipped over and disappeared.
"Huh? He just left like that?"
Wu Shishi looked at Xia Lan, and Xia Lan also turned to look at the window where Qin Yu had left, her lips slightly pursed.
Sudan also realized that although Qin Yu felt sorry for Xia Lan, he seemed to be angry with her.
"Lanlan, Instructor Qin seems angry?" Sudan looked at Xia Lan and reminded her.
Xia Lan nodded gently and moved her hands and feet. Although the burning pain was still there, she could clearly feel that the muscle soreness had been relieved a lot.
She thought about how he had specially brought the ointment to massage her, and then left with a stern face without saying a word to her.
"Why don't you go and try to comfort him? He doesn't seem very happy."
Zhao Pandi also felt that Xia Lan should go and coax Qin Yu.
"Hmm." Xia Lan slowly got up, dressed, and prepared to go find Qin Yu.
As she approached the door, the dormitory supervisor glanced at Xia Lan and shook her head.
“Your husband came over and told me that you are not allowed to go out today and should go home and rest.”
Xia Lan was stunned by the dormitory supervisor's words and looked at her. "He came specifically to tell you this?"
“That’s right.” The older woman glanced at Xia Lan.
"Did the young couple have a fight?"
"We didn't argue."
Xia Lan's eyes dimmed; Qin Yu was so angry that he didn't even want her to come to him anymore.
"That means they're having a disagreement."
The older woman, having been through similar experiences, could tell that the young couple must have encountered some problems.
Xia Lan pursed her lips.
"They're supposed to be going back in a couple of days! This isn't a good time for you two to have a falling out..."
The older woman advised Xia Lan, who froze instantly upon hearing this.
She almost forgot that he was about to go back.
"Go, go, hurry up! If you leave, you won't be able to coax me anymore."
Seeing her like this, the older woman understood immediately. She took out her key, opened the door, and gestured for Xia Lan to hurry up and go find Qin Yu.
"Thank you, Auntie." Xia Lan glanced gratefully at the older woman, then rushed out.
I ran all the way to Qin Yu's dormitory, and as soon as I pushed the door open, I found Qin Yu packing his things.
Xia Lan was stunned.
"Are you leaving?"
Xia Lan couldn't accept Qin Yu's farewell, and her eyes instantly turned red.
Her pitiful appearance was like that of a kitten abandoned by its owner, having lost the whole world.
No matter how hard-hearted Qin Yu was, Confucius could not turn a blind eye to Xia Lan's plight.
"Sigh~" With a heavy sigh, Qin Yu resignedly walked up to Xia Lan and hugged her.
"Don't cry, I'm not leaving yet, I'm just packing my things."
"Then you still have to leave."
Xia Lan's tears streamed down her cheeks. She didn't reach out to hug Qin Yu, but gently pushed him away and turned to leave.
Qin Yu was flustered by the unexpected arrival of his wife and quickly grabbed her hand to prevent her from leaving.
I have a feeling that if I let her go, something big is bound to happen.
"I'm not leaving, I'm just going back to my dorm."
Xia Lan retorted to Qin Yu with the same words. Qin Yu pursed his lips, pulled the sulking kitten to the bedside, sat her down, and held her in his arms.
"Lanlan".
Qin Yu hugged Xia Lan in frustration; in front of her, all his self-control vanished.
His composure, which he was so proud of, was utterly insignificant in front of her.
Xia Lan pursed her lips, ignoring Qin Yu.
"Qin Yu, what do you think our relationship is?" Xia Lan's serious gaze made Qin Yu pause.
"We are husband and wife."
Qin Yu sensed Xia Lan's understanding and answered earnestly in return.
"You haven't forgotten the time I almost got kidnapped, have you?"
Xia Lan said slowly.
Qin Yu froze, then nodded. He would never forget it for the rest of his life.
"Can you be sure I won't encounter any danger in the future? You can't be by my side every moment; there will always be times when I'm alone."
Xia Lan cupped Qin Yu's face in her hands and looked into his eyes.
Qin Yu wanted to say that such a situation was impossible, but he also knew that there would always be times when he couldn't attend to it.
“I have never doubted your abilities, and I am certain that you can protect me! I learned these things not so that I would expect these things to happen, but so that if such a thing really happens, I would be able to protect myself, at least... hold out until you come to save me.”
Xia Lan looked at Qin Yu with utmost seriousness.
"I don't want to be a burden to you, I want to stand shoulder to shoulder with you, I don't want to be a parasitic plant."
Qin Yu opened his mouth, then closed it.
Looking at Xia Lan in his arms, her gaze was so intense that it made his heart burn. Her words were like a shot of adrenaline, piercing his heart.
