Chapter 386: Chapter 386: Saying No, but the Body Says Yes
After helping Bai Haoxue get dressed, Ji Hanyu quickly pulled her over to sit by the fire.
"Your hair is soaked through. What if you catch a cold?"
Bai Haoxue playfully stuck out her tongue, "I won’t. I’m perfectly healthy."
"Lie down quickly. I picked some herbs to apply on you."
When she first woke up, she noticed he already had a bit of a fever.
If the wound gets infected, that would be troublesome.
Bai Haoxue picked up a stone, went to wash it in the water jar outside, and then crushed the herbs with great effort.
However, Ji Hanyu’s wound had stuck to his shirt, and no matter how careful she was, there was no way to take off the shirt.
Seeing her hesitate, Ji Hanyu simply unbuttoned and forcibly ripped the shirt off.
The shirt came off instantly, but the flesh around his wound got torn off as well, leaving his back a bloody mess.
Bai Haoxue was so mad she wanted to hit him.
Is there anyone who treats themselves this harshly?
Ji Hanyu said, "There isn’t a better way, is there?"
Bai Haoxue: "..."
Not wanting to speak with him, Bai Haoxue had Ji Hanyu lie down to apply the medicine first.
Seeing his back covered in scars and blood, Bai Haoxue couldn’t hold back her tears.
"Don’t cry. Every time I see you cry, my whole body hurts.
More painful than the wound on my back?"
Bai Haoxue tapped his head lightly, "Now you know it hurts? Then why don’t you protect yourself at all?"
"Sigh..." Ji Hanyu sighed, "Maybe it’s because I’ve spent a long time with the little shorty. Now, when I see kids or hear them cry, it doesn’t annoy me. Actually, when I hear a child’s cry, my heart aches."
Back then, hearing that child’s cries for help, it felt just like when he heard Little Beiting’s cries and pleas for help at the old Ji Family residence.
He just couldn’t ignore it!
"So you’re indirectly confessing to Little Beiting too. Little Treasure would be so touched to hear that."
"Him?" Ji Hanyu’s disdain couldn’t be more obvious, "He’d just get so proud, his little tail would be pointing up to the sky."
Bai Haoxue: "..."
Uh, that’s a hundred percent true!
Little Beiting’s proud nature is even worse than Ji Hanyu’s.
"Okay, the medicine is on!" Bai Haoxue said, "Now lie down like this so the medicine doesn’t fall off. I’ll make you some fish soup."
There’s a kitchen and cookware here, so making a delicious fish soup would help with Ji Hanyu’s wound recovery too.
It was raining continuously, and they couldn’t find a way down the mountain.
"Dry your hair first before you get busy. I’m not... hungry..."
"Grumble, grumble, grumble..."
Before he finished speaking, his stomach growled loudly, and Ji Hanyu really felt like punching his own stomach.
Can you not betray me like that?
Don’t I have any dignity?
Seeing Ji Hanyu’s embarrassed look, Bai Haoxue couldn’t help but laugh, "Pffft..." She teased Ji Hanyu, "Mr. Ji, that’s called your mouth saying no, but your body being honest!"
Ji Hanyu: "..."
"Anyway, dry your hair by the fire first." Ji Hanyu held Bai Haoxue’s hand, not letting her go without drying her hair.
But he accidentally brushed against a thorn in Bai Haoxue’s hand, and she cried out in pain.
Ji Hanyu’s face changed immediately, as he turned her hand over, his brows furrowed deeply, looking like an old man.
He raised his hand, intending to tap Bai Haoxue’s head, hesitated, then slowly lowered it, "Bai Haoxue... I honestly... Do you want to break my heart?"
Bai Haoxue clicked her tongue, "Not bad, you’ve improved, you know how to say sweet words now."
Ji Hanyu: "..."
