This level of exercise was no different from a casual walk downstairs for them. They never imagined that Ye Man would have leg pain this morning because she climbed a mountain yesterday.
"If I don't rub it in, I'll have trouble going down the stairs today. I'll find you some medicine."
Ye Man bit her lip and reached out to brush her hair back to the front, lowering her head so she didn't dare look at his face. "...I'm fine."
He Zhangcheng, however, thought she was afraid of pain, and said, "Then stand up now."
Ye Man suddenly raised her head, looking incredulous. How could she stand up when her legs were so sore?
That's pain.
Ye Man: "..."
He went outside and brought in a bottle of liniment. Ye Man hadn't even gotten out of bed yet when she saw him come back, she shrank back and sat back down on the bed. He Zhangcheng went straight up and reached out to grab the blanket, trying to pull it away. Ye Man stared at him with wide eyes, holding the blanket down.
"……Need not"
He Zhangcheng frowned. Her legs were so sore from climbing the mountain, she definitely wouldn't be willing to massage them hard later, and she didn't have the strength, so he might as well massage them for her himself.
Otherwise, if this drags on, she'll feel unwell for the next few days and will have difficulty going up and down stairs.
One pressed down hard, and the other also exerted force. Neither of them would give in. Ye Man's face was burning up. She couldn't bear to think about the scene of He Zhangcheng massaging her legs.
Both of them were quite stubborn, and neither of them backed down for the moment. Ye Man was naturally no match for He Zhangcheng in strength. Looking at the man's determined gaze and recalling the winks and glimpses Song Qing and the other man had given her yesterday, she suddenly let go.
Caught off guard and unable to release his strength, He Zhangcheng pulled back the blanket, revealing Ye Man's two slender legs. Only then did he belatedly realize why Ye Man didn't want his help. He abruptly turned his head away, unsure of what to do with his hands, nearly cracking the medicine bottle he was holding.
The man immediately stepped back, at a loss. The tall man, who was over 1.8 meters tall, looked like a shrimp that had fallen into a steamer, his whole body steaming and his face turning red.
Not knowing where to look, he turned to face the wall, looking particularly awkward.
His reaction immediately dispelled Ye Man's embarrassment, and she stared at him with curiosity.
The room was quiet, except for He Zhangcheng's heart pounding so hard it felt like it was about to jump out of his chest.
"I...I didn't mean to."
He wanted to apologize, but Ye Man propped herself up with her hands behind her back, not in a hurry to cover herself with the blanket, finding the scene in front of her quite amusing.
"Weren't you going to help me wipe it?"
Her eyes were bright, and she couldn't hide the teasing in them. He Zhangcheng almost thought he had misheard, until Ye Man urged him again, and then he turned around abruptly to look at her.
The man's gaze changed instantly; he had been at a loss just moments before, but now he looked like a hunter in the mountains.
"I can do it myself..."
Ye Man began to regret it. She shouldn't have listened to Song Qing and Zhao Qin. She had made a big fuss. Why did the man's eyes look so terrifying? She felt like she was being watched, and a chill ran down her spine.
But it was too late. He Zhangcheng pursed his lips, took a step forward, and pressed down on her hand.
Neither of them spoke. He Zhangcheng unscrewed the medicine bottle, poured the cold medicine into his hands, rubbed it to warm it, and then pressed it onto her legs.
Whether it was his hot hands or the strong effects of the medicine, Ye Man felt a burning sensation in the areas he had pressed, as if someone had spread a layer of chili peppers on them. She turned her head away, not daring to look at him, and the tips of both of their ears were red.
"hiss"
Even though he tried to hold back, he couldn't. His legs felt like they were filled with lead. He Zhang was rubbing the lead away from his legs, which hurt so badly they didn't feel like his own. He was initially a little embarrassed because the sound of his voice was so strange, but eventually he couldn't hold back any longer.
