Sheng Yi, however, was quick-witted and grabbed her calf.
Even through his thick pants, Zhu Qinghao could still feel the warmth from his palm, making her afraid to move.
Sheng Yi seemed completely oblivious to her stiffness, calmly preparing to apply medicine to her.
"Let me do it. If you get your pants leg ripped off right after you apply the medicine, it won't be as effective."
What Zhu Qinghao didn't know was that Sheng Yi was actually very nervous, but his acting skills were so good that no one could tell.
Sheng Yi was very careful throughout. With his left hand, he firmly held her calf through her trouser leg, while with the pads of his right hand, he found the spot where Zhu Qing was in pain and gently applied the medicine.
Sure enough, as soon as the ointment was applied, Zhu Qinghao felt her ankle become much cooler and more comfortable.
It's a pity it's winter now. If it were summer and very hot, having such a cooling ointment applied would surely be very comfortable.
Zhu Qinghao's mind was full of these strange thoughts, but he didn't say a word. He just secretly looked at Sheng Yi who was applying medicine to him.
Even though they had met many times, Zhu Qinghao was always drawn to Sheng Yi's earnestness in doing things.

How can people be so beautiful and charming?
Perhaps sensing Zhu Qinghao's gaze, Sheng Yi glanced back at her after applying the ointment.
However, Zhu Qinghao reacted extremely quickly, or perhaps she felt guilty, and after noticing Sheng Yi's movements, she quickly lowered her head to block her view.
The two almost made eye contact, but they never actually did.
When Sheng Yi saw Zhu Qinghao lower her head in a panic, he understood everything. In a good mood, he continued to lower his head and rub her slightly swollen ankle.
After finishing, Sheng Yi even wrapped her up with gauze to prevent the ointment from rubbing off if she moved.
"Okay, that's about it. Put your socks on and sit here for a while. I'll make you lunch."
After Sheng Yi finished, he stood up from the ground, creating a gust of wind. At the same time, the faint fragrance of Chinese herbs was blown into Zhu Qinghao's nose.
Zhu Qinghao disliked and even resisted traditional Chinese medicine, but at this moment, she found the faint smell extremely pleasant.
Have you decided what you want to eat?
Sheng Yi's gentle voice came through, and Zhu Qinghao instantly snapped back to reality.
"Huh? Not yet. I'll go see what's in the cellar."
Sheng Yi looked at her feet and quickly stopped her.
"Hey—you sit here quietly, I'll go look, okay? I'll make whatever's available for you, alright?"
Zhu Qing thought for a moment. The cellar contained things that were presentable or that she planned to show to others, so there was nothing that Sheng Yi couldn't see.
The meat from last night... is mostly lying in her space now. Only a portion that she wants to take to the cowshed and the meat she usually eats are left outside. She doesn't know if Sheng Yi will find out.
Oh well, if he really asks, I'll just make up another excuse.
"Okay, then go ahead. Take whatever you like. Don't worry about saving for me. Ingredients should be handed over to good chefs to avoid waste."
"Oh, right, Sheng Yi, I still want the two dishes from last night. After you leave, I can cook noodles for myself."
Sheng Yi, who had already taken a step forward, turned back.
"Do you want it now? Or if you're not in a hurry, how about waiting a couple of days?"
