The loud thud made Lin Feiyan's heart tighten instantly, and the wheelchair quickly moved towards Ye Qingning.
Ye Qingning was in so much pain that she couldn't even stand up. Looking at Lin Feiyan who was quickly approaching and the colorful flowers and willows outside the window, she was overcome with grief, and tears instantly streamed down her face.
"Qingqing..." Seeing her cry, Lin Feiyan felt as if something was stabbing him hard in the heart, and he could hardly breathe. "Where does it hurt? Let me see."
Ye Qingning forcefully pushed away his arm that was leaning towards her. The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, so she simply buried her head in her knees and cried bitterly.
In that instant, all her grievances came rushing in. It was bad enough that a car accident had caused all her previous efforts to be in vain, but she had to transmigrate into such a tragic female supporting character, who could only survive by humbly trying to gain favor, but she accidentally caught the eye of a blackened tycoon.
She finally realized she liked him, but then she was trapped in this house by a confinement order.
God, why are you doing this to me?!
Ye Qingning cried with snot and tears streaming down her face, wanting to vent all her grievances.
Lin Feiyan raised his hand to rub her head, but she slapped it away forcefully as soon as he placed his hand on her head. She looked up at him with a face full of tears and her eyes were fierce.
"Get away from me! I don't need your pity!"
She struggled to her feet, ignoring Lin Feiyan, and limped toward the door. Though her steps were unsteady, she walked quickly and disappeared around the corner in the blink of an eye.
Lin Feiyan frowned, looked at the slanted skateboard next to the wheelchair, and sighed slightly.
Chen Ci parked his car, picked up his medicine box, and headed into the house. From afar, he saw Ye Qingning limping in the garden, with no servants behind her.
He strode over and stopped her in a pavilion. His gaze fell on her bruised knee, and he asked in a low voice, "What happened?"
Ye Qingning's tears were still welling up in her eyes. Through her blurred vision, she saw Chen Ci's face and sniffed, "It's okay."
Chen Ci helped her sit down on the wooden chair and knelt down to check her injuries.
When his cool fingertips touched her wound, Ye Qingning instinctively flinched, hissing.
Chen Ci deftly opened the medicine box, took out cotton swabs and medical alcohol, and covered the area below the wound with gauze. While quickly disinfecting, he talked to her to distract her.
"How did you fall? With your skateboarding skills, you shouldn't have fallen in the skate park, right?"
Ye Qingning sniffed: "I fell while skateboarding."
Chen Ci looked up at her and saw that her eyes were red and her face was covered with tears, making her look extremely aggrieved.
A sudden pang of sadness struck her. Chen Ci rummaged through his medicine box and pulled out a piece of gauze, handing it to her with a hint of a smile in his voice: "Wipe your tears. You won't look pretty if you keep crying."
Ye Qingning casually wiped her face and complained, "What does it matter if I'm pretty or not? Anyway, I'll be trapped in this house for the rest of my life and won't be able to get out. I'll be like a living dead!"
Chen Ci glanced casually towards the garden entrance and saw Lin Feiyan's wheelchair moving in that direction.
After a moment's thought, he raised his hand and shook it at Lin Feiyan. Lin Feiyan's wheelchair stopped and disappeared behind a bush.
"No way." Chen Ci smiled and said, "You're so smart, the boss can't hold you back."
"We're trapped now!" Ye Qingning said resentfully, "I haven't left the house for days!"
Chen Ci disinfected Ye Qingning's wound and asked before applying the medicine, "Do you still have the ointment I gave you last time?"
"have."
“The injury isn’t serious.” Chen Ci knelt on one knee and took out a jar of medicine from the medicine box. “I’ll do some simple treatment first. When you get back to your room, I’ll apply the ointment I gave you last time and massage it in. You’ll recover in a couple of days.”
Ye Qingning sniffed: "Never mind, let it be. It's better if he's lame, then I won't have to think about going out. It's just what he wanted!"
Chen Ci carefully applied the medicine to her wound with a cotton swab, but for the medicine to take effect, it needed to be spread out slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he gently rubbed the wound with his fingertips and chuckled softly.
"With a quack like me around, it's going to be difficult for you to become lame."
Chen Ci's fingertips were cool, and when he rubbed them with the medicine, the pain in Ye Qingning's knees subsided by more than half. She lowered her eyes slightly.
"Chen Ci, I've been so good to him, why does he still torment me like this... Should I not have fallen for him in the first place?"
Chen Ci paused in his massage: "What's wrong with liking someone? If you could control that, there would be no heartbreak in the world."
