Green Beauty gasped, crying out in pain, "It hurts so much..."
Si Yi's eyelashes trembled slightly. He quickly withdrew his hand, pulled her clothes back together, and frowned as he said, "Your ribs aren't injured, but your side is indeed bruised. I'll go to the clinic to get you some medicine to apply."
Luqiao lay on the couch, not daring to move. Upon hearing this, she nodded with tears in her eyes.
Si Yi sighed, and without further delay, immediately went to the clinic to get the medicine.
He told the doctor about Lü Qiao's condition, and the doctor prescribed medicine and gave him some ointment to apply.
Back at the inn, Si asked the innkeeper to help brew the medicine, while he took the ointment upstairs to apply to Lü Qiao.
When he entered the room, Lü Qiao was still lying there in the same position he had left in, motionless.
When Si Yi came in, she tried to sit up, but the movement aggravated her injury, and she immediately stopped moving in pain.
Seeing her like this, Si put down the ointment and then turned to wash his hands.
When he returned, he sat down silently by the bed, lifted her clothes again, and then used his fingers to scoop out the ointment and apply it to her wound.
The cooling ointment spread across the skin, seemingly relieving some of the pain.
Green Fairy bit her lip and secretly looked up at the boy.
Si was focused on applying the medicine to her and didn't notice the gaze she was looking at.
A moment later, he finished applying the ointment, put it away, and noticed the cold sweat on her face from the pain. After thinking for a moment, he wrung out a towel and washed her face.
Seeing this, Lü Qiao waited for him to wipe her face, but unexpectedly, he stopped halfway through his hand.
"Your hands aren't injured, so you should be able to wipe your face, right?" Si Yi looked down at her.
Lu Qiao was embarrassed, then nodded, "Y-yes, I should be able to."
Si Yi handed her the handkerchief.
Green's face was burning hot, so she wiped it with a handkerchief.
That was such a mess; I was in so much pain that I couldn't think straight.
Now that the pain had subsided, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Si Yi... he lifted her skirt and looked at her waist...
Thinking of this, a blush suddenly appeared on her pale face, and she felt very ashamed.
When Si saw that she suddenly blushed, he paused for a moment and realized the same thing.
He said somewhat awkwardly, "It's a matter of necessity, don't overthink it." After a pause, he added, "Even if it weren't me, it would be a doctor who would examine you."
Upon hearing this, Lü Qiao's blush faded, and she nodded with her head down, "I know, thank you for today."
Si Yi hung the towel back up, turned around, looked at the girl who was almost curled up in a ball on the couch, paused, and said incredulously, "It's really surprising that the princess can value you so much, given your impetuous nature."
Upon hearing this, Lü Qiao frowned and retorted, "I'm not usually that unintelligent..."
That's what they said, but they lacked conviction.
"Then why are you so slow-witted today?" Si Yi scoffed.
Green Beauty blurted out, "It's all because of you..."
"Because of what?" Si Yi frowned as he looked at her.
Lü Qiao paused for a moment, then said nothing more.
Seeing this, Si Yi didn't ask any more questions. He simply said, "You're in such a state today that you can't take a bath. I won't call for hot water for you. Just lie down and wait for the medicine to be ready. I'll bring it in for you later."
"Okay." Lü Qiao nodded.
Si Yi didn't stay any longer and left the house.
After watching him leave, Lü Qiao lay on the bed, looking rather listless.
She was so stupid to let herself fall so hard.
The time I fell off the cliff, I was still fine, but this time I fell and hurt myself like this while walking down the stairs.
She sighed.
Although the pain was relieved after applying the ointment, it still hurts from time to time.
Lü Qiao could only lie on her side and couldn't do anything.
After an unknown amount of time, when Si brought in the medicine, she was already asleep.
She was probably in too much pain, because she didn't sleep very well, and there were still tears in the corners of her eyes.
Under the lamplight, she lay there on her side, her legs curled up, her hands loosely clenched into fists and resting against her face. Her long eyelashes lay quietly on her eyelids, and her lips were pale from the pain…
Si Yi couldn't help but slow his pace.
The medicine was still very hot, so he didn't wake her.
After placing the medicine bowl on the table, he sat down in a chair nearby.
I'm going to wait until the medicine cools down before waking her up.
Because of the pain, Lü Qiao couldn't sleep soundly and woke up soon after.
But as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a boy sitting in a chair opposite the bed.
He rested his forehead on one hand, his eyes closed, as if he were asleep.
Seeing this, Lü Qiao didn't wake him up, but couldn't help glancing at him a few more times.
When Si Yi was asleep, he was less cold and fierce than usual, and his eyes and brows softened, making him less unapproachable.
He has delicate features and is extremely handsome.
She couldn't help but stare, lost in thought, and even the pain in her back seemed to lessen.
Have you seen enough?
She only snapped back to reality when the boy's cold voice boomed in the room.
Meeting the boy's intense black eyes, she blurted out, "It's because looking at you helps me stop the pain that I'm looking at you."
These words were spoken with a guilty conscience, but since she had already said them, there was no way to take them back.
She frowned in annoyance.
What nonsense is she talking about?
Isn't this indirectly telling people that she was indeed looking at them just now?
That's like admitting guilt without being asked!
A sudden surge of joy welled up inside Si Yi, causing the corners of his lips to unconsciously curve into a smile.
He glanced at her with his dark eyes but said nothing.
