Xia Xingchen asked him to sit down on the sofa, "Take off your shirt, let me take a look."
Bai Yeqing did as he was told. Xia Xingchen took a look and his breathing became tense. Shen Min frowned, "How did you get injured like this?"
The ladder had hit him really hard, tearing the skin off his back.
"Should we see Doctor Fu?"
"Don't make a fuss, it's just a small matter." What kind of injuries has he not suffered? "Do you have disinfectant?"
"have."
Xia Xingchen took out the disinfectant. At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Shen Min said, "It might be Wei Yang. I'll go open the door."
Shen Min walked over and opened the door. When she saw the person outside, the smile on her face froze. She stood there for a long time without saying a word.
When I came to my senses, I almost subconsciously closed the door.
"Xiao Min!" Xia Guopeng stopped her.
A trace of sadness flashed across Shen Min's face, "Don't call me 'Xiao Min'."
You are just a name from the past. Now, no matter how I hear it, it only makes me more uncomfortable.
Xia Xingchen turned back to look at the door in surprise, and saw her father standing at the door, looking at her mother with complicated eyes, as if he had a lot to say. It was freezing outside, and there was a thin layer of ice on his brow.
"Take your things and wait for me over there. I'll help you treat your wound later." Xia Xingchen said to Bai Yeqing, closed the medicine box and gave it to him. He said nothing and just walked towards his original bedroom. When he stood up, Xia Guopeng noticed his presence and greeted him respectfully at the door, "Mr. President."
He nodded gracefully in response, still looking noble, but much more polite.
He went to the other side, Xia Xingchen simply tidied up the sofa and said, "Dad, come in and sit down. It's cold outside."
"Xingchen." Shen Min held her daughter's hand, seeming unhappy.
Xia Xingchen lowered her voice, "Mom, I can't stop my own dad from leaving the door, right? Besides, it's so cold outside, it would be bad if he gets frozen."
After she said that, Shen Min had nothing to say.
Xia Guopeng came in, and Xia Xingchen went to pour a cup of water, "You two can chat, I'll go check on his wound."
After that, he left the space here to them. Looking back, he still felt a little worried.
… … … … …
Xia Xingchen found him in the bedroom. He was sitting on the bed, flipping through the books on the bedside. They were all the botany books that his mother usually read.
He also watched with great interest.
She came in and he didn't even look up.
She stood at the door, staring at the man in a daze, with all kinds of emotions surging in her heart. In her mind, she kept thinking about the scene of him subconsciously protecting her just now...
"If I keep standing there, my wound might fester." As if he could sense that she had been looking at him, Bai Yeqing spoke softly without looking up, his attention still on the book.
Xia Xingchen pouted and muttered, "How can it be so exaggerated?"
She walked over and stood behind him. His bare upper body, with perfect muscle lines, made her blush and her heart beat fast, even if it was just a back...
This man has always been very strict with himself. No matter how busy he is, he will take time to exercise every day, so he has such a good physique.
Such a man, who is perfect in every aspect, can be admired by thousands of young girls and young women. It is not surprising at all that Song Weiyi left and Lan Ye came...
And what about yourself
I am probably just one of the millions...
He seems so close to me, yet so far away...
"Turn your body to the side a little bit." She said softly. He was very obedient and turned his body to the side. She took the disinfectant in her hand and said, "It will definitely hurt a little, just bear with it."
"Yeah." He responded lightly.
She poured the potion down, but Bai Yeqing didn't even make a sound, but his hand holding the book tightened a little.
Xia Xingchen didn't want to admit it, but she was really heartbroken...
The movements of applying the medicine with the cotton swab became even gentler, as if she was afraid of hurting him. After applying the medicine, she involuntarily leaned over and blew on his wound.
His body stiffened and he stopped turning the pages of the book.
Then, frowning, "What are you doing?"
The voice is a little hoarse.
"Wouldn't it be less painful this way?" Xia Xingchen answered naturally.
Completely unaware that something was wrong with him, he leaned over and blew twice more.
The warm wind, carrying her breath, was very soft and very tempting. It passed through his back like an electric current, and then exploded in every cell of his body at the fastest speed. His eyes darkened, and he turned around, holding her hand, and holding her chin with his other hand, and lifted her face up, "Xia Xingchen, what do you mean?!"
He had a stern expression, his brows were furrowed, and he looked a little manic.
Xia Xingchen looked at him in confusion, "What do you mean?"
She took his hand away and tried to stand up. However, Bai Yeqing held her hand tightly and pulled her down a little. She bent over and looked into his eyes. She could see the deep dark light in his eyes, as well as the deep repression and contradiction.
"You're tempting me!" Every word he spoke was not a question, but an accusation.
Temptation
Xia Xingchen felt very wronged. However, after he reminded her, she realized that her actions just now were indeed inappropriate...
"I didn't..." She explained, "Usually Xia Dabao would ask for this when he was in pain, so... I just subconsciously..."
"Subconsciously?" Bai Yeqing stared at her, emphasizing every word. "Xia Xingchen, don't forget that it was you who said you hated me! If you really hate me that much, don't mess with me!"
This woman, doesn't she know that provoking him like this will only make his heart more and more confused, making him more and more anxious and restless, unable to sleep or eat! He can't forget her anymore! This feeling is terrible! But, it just happens that he can only feel a little relieved when he sees her. However, he now finds that after seeing her, this feeling of anxiety will become more serious.
Repeated, vicious cycle!
Xia Xingchen was stunned, staring at him for a long time, biting his lip, and muffledly explained: "… You came to my place, how can it be considered that I provoked you?"
So, if we use the word "provoke", it should also be applied to him, right
Bai Yeqing looked at her lowered eyes and listened to her words, his face darkened. Indeed. Wasn't it him who took the initiative to come here
He stared at her twice and threw the book down.
He took the bloody shirt and put it on. He was obviously angry and just opened the door and walked out.
Xia Xingchen looked at the back of the person who left in anger, opened her lips, and wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to start. If she stopped him again and told him to pay attention to his wound and not touch the water, would he think she was provoking him again
