Chapter 8: You are husband and wife, what are you afraid of?
The doctor came quickly and was fully equipped. As soon as he sat down, he immediately measured Shen Jiaxu's physical data.
Lilith watched curiously and with some pain as the festering wounds were turned out and cut off with a delicate scalpel.
"It's nothing serious. Just deal with the rotten flesh from the wound. You may need to rest for a while. During this time, you probably can't play with those... uh, toys anymore."
The doctor gently reminded him that he thought the terrible scars were caused by the guide's sudden interest. After all, such situations are not uncommon.
Lilith was speechless for a moment, but she didn't explain. She just pointed at the wound and said,
"So do you want a shot or something, or an injection? The tools are rusty, he won't get tetanus, will he?"
Hearing this, the doctor was stunned for a moment, then looked at the delicate-looking girl in front of him with a rather amused look.
"You mean infection? Don't worry, Sentinels are incredibly tough. They're like immortal maggots, repeating the process of injury and recovery over and over again. As long as they don't die on the spot, they'll survive."
His voice was filled with condescending disdain, as if the sentinels were nothing more than beings that could be trampled upon at will.
Shen Jiaxu lowered his head as if he didn't care, only a hint of sneer appeared in his pupils hidden by his hair. Qi Hanxing stood aside without saying a word. He should have been noisy, but he didn't refute what the doctor said, as if he was acquiescing.
"But he will be in pain, it will be very painful."
Lilith stared at the doctor expressionlessly, her clear eyes revealing disapproval.
"Give me potions to speed up healing, painkillers, whatever it is that can help him get better soon."
“But the price will…”
"That's not important."
Anyway, as a daughter of a noble family, it is impossible for her to not be able to afford even the medical expenses, right?
Lilith thought with peace of mind, not noticing Shen Jiaxu's hesitation to speak. The doctor prescribed some medicine and left. Qi Hanxing stomped his feet on the spot, looked at her, perhaps wanting to say something, but still walked away in silence.
The room was quiet for a moment. The young man on the bed leaned on the pillow and raised his hand to pour the bitter potion. The healing medicine of different colors slid down his throat.
When he looked up, the transparent potion bottle reflected a brilliant golden color. It was clearly a dark night, so how could there be daylight?
He silently handed the empty bottles to the household robot, then looked up at the silent Lilith.
"It's late. You should rest. Tomorrow..."
"What about your wound?"
Lilith interrupted him rudely, nodded her chin, and pointed at the white bandage beside her.
"I can bandage it myself."
Although he didn't understand why Lilith was acting so strangely today, Shen Jiaxu didn't want to guess what torture methods she had come up with. His eyelashes were thick and long, and when he lowered his eyes slightly, he looked gentle and harmless.
"Oh, then you bandage it now."
"But I need to take off... my shirt."
Didn't she always dislike seeing the sentry's body? She said it was ugly.
But Lilith just sneered.
"Why, I can't watch? We're husband and wife, what are you afraid of?"
It turned out that he had changed his method of humiliation. Shen Jiaxu mocked himself secretly, but with a considerate smile on his face, he put his fingers on the button of his clothes and tilted his head slightly.
Under the clean white shirt was a thin layer of muscle, covering the slender body, with glaring whip marks crisscrossing and slightly white.
"Even though I might not have the energy, after being married for so long, if you finally remember to ask me to fulfill my obligations, it's not impossible."
The deliberately lowered voice seemed to carry a hint of affection, but the chestnut eyes were clearly cold.
Lilith couldn't stand it any longer and reached out to give Shen Jiaxu a slap.
"Even though he's injured like this, and he's still thinking about painful things, even if the woman is on top... the wound will burst open!"
She sat down on the bedside in a bad mood, took the bandage in one hand, and began to wrap it around the shoulder. After treating the wound, the young man's own scent began to spread. It was a woody fragrance, like cold pine and bamboo. In short, it was a very cool and gentle smell.
Lilith was dazed for a moment, until the body under her fingertips suddenly tensed up, and she realized that she had used a little too much strength.
The bandage has been wrapped around the lower abdomen, and the feeling of touching the well-defined abdominal muscles is incredible.
The transverse wound was also here, so Shen Jiaxu looked so painful. He bit his pale lips, unwilling to reveal a single sound of pain.
Lilith tied the last knot with her fingertips, thought for a moment, and then made it into a bow with a playful touch. She looked at the other person lying motionless on the bed and clapped her hands.
"Okay, if you need anything else, call the doctor. I've given you all the authority. Treat any illness you have, especially any psychological problems."
It’s best not to stare at her and try to kill her!
Back in the room, Lilith took out a piece of paper and pen from the drawer of the desk and wrote on it in code that only she could understand.
"The heroine Alice enrolled a month after the opening ceremony, having just managed to avoid the notoriously harsh military training. The night before enrolling, out of curiosity, she ran to an underground auction house and happened to rescue Si Jue, who had been sold by the original owner. From then on, she became connected to him."
"Because she missed military training, Alice needed to get a certificate from the Student Union to cancel her leave. She ran into the Student Union President, Shen Jiaxu, who was bandaging her wounds alone. As a guide, Alice happened to have a healing potion, so she gave it to him. Shen Jiaxu also developed a slight affection for this junior."
"The first class after the holiday was Xie Huan's military strategy course. Alice was late for some reason and was punished to stay behind. Si Jue came out to explain. Xie Huan thanked Alice for her help and asked for a make-up test of her mental strength. Alice's mental strength reached S-level, shocking the whole school."
"Well, as for Qi Hanxing and Fu Sui, it seems that it's because of the family recognition party. Regardless, we can just advance the opportunity for them to get to know each other, right?"
After turning over, Lilith held the pen in her mouth and looked at the scribbles she had drawn, feeling very satisfied. This way, even if someone discovered it, no one would be able to tell what she had written!
But the encounter scene between Si Jue and the heroine was ruined by her, well... let's advance Shen Jiaxu's plot first,
No, she seemed to have just bandaged the other person. She couldn't possibly remove the bandage now, could she? Shen Jiaxu would definitely think she was crazy.
Lilith sighed, but as long as the hero and heroine meet, the plot will be triggered, and she can adapt to the situation.
But, she seemed to have forgotten something...
In the college's bathroom, Xie Huan finally woke up in the darkness.
