"Mingxia, come here." Just then, Ji Mingxia heard Yu Ning say to him.
Ji Mingxia looked up and saw Yu Ning already sitting in the tent. In front of him were ointments, sprays, cotton, cotton swabs, alcohol, iodine and other daily necessities. Everything was ready, just waiting for Ji Mingxia to take off his clothes.
Ji Mingxia stood there stiffly, stumbling over his words: "I'll do it myself..."
Yu Ning said: "Your wound extends from your waist to your hip. You have just walked such a long distance, and your clothes are stuffy. You can't see some parts, so it's difficult to treat."
When Ji Mingxia heard this, his head exploded and his face turned red.
He didn't care about Bao Guangyuan and Meng Xinyi outside, and quickly got into the tent, lowering his voice to Yu Ning in surprise: "How did you know?"
"I guessed it from the way you walk." Yu Ning said.
Ji Mingxia didn't expect that even such a thing could not be hidden from Yu Ning. But when he thought about it carefully, when Yu Ning taught him how to use the crutch, he even knew how to use it to save effort. It was also normal for him to guess the approximate location of Ji Mingxia's wound based on the way he walked.
It's just that he was clearly wearing clothes, but Yu Ning saw through them, which made Ji Mingxia feel ashamed as if his clothes were useless.
He lowered his head and stammered, "I'll wipe it myself. If it really doesn't work, I'll ask you for help again..."
Yu Ning looked at Ji Mingxia's flushed face and saw that Ji Mingxia's hands were unconsciously clenching the corner of his clothes, which showed that he was subconsciously resisting this matter.
Yu Ning finally nodded, helped Ji Mingxia put the medicines and instructions in place so that Ji Mingxia could operate it himself, and then prepared to leave.
"Yu Ning." Before he went out, Ji Mingxia suddenly remembered something and called him again.
Yu Ning turned around.
Ji Mingxia lowered her voice and whispered to him, "We have two tents. Should we give one to Meng Xinyi and the others? They have been sleeping on leaves these days. Meng Xinyi is injured, just like me..."
Yu Ning looked at Ji Mingxia and said slowly: "In order to save space, we brought a small single-person tent this time. Our shoulders are about fifty feet wide, and two adult men cannot lie down side by side in a single-person tent, unless..."
"Unless what?" Ji Mingxia couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Sleep on top of each other." Yu Ning said.
"Stacked together?" Ji Mingxia listened and imagined the colorful picture in his mind. He almost choked. Seeing Yu Ning's serious look, obviously still the silly and innocent person he was familiar with, Ji Mingxia quickly adjusted his facial expression.
He almost instinctively tried to save face: "We can sleep on our sides."
"You have an injury on your waist. The narrow space will easily rub the wound, causing a delay in the healing time." After Yu Ning finished speaking, he saw that Ji Mingxia was a little conflicted. He understood that he was a normal man after all, and it was inevitable that he would feel sorry for the vulnerable groups.
Just like when Ji Mingxia saw him walking home alone in the rain late at night, and secretly asked the dormitory manager to give the campus card to Yu Ning to swipe.
After destroying the ghost, Yu Ning left quietly with injuries. Ji Mingxia knew that if he was involved with him, he might face some rumors, but he still returned to the dormitory as soon as possible to bandage his wounds.
When facing vulnerable groups, he would feel sympathy and compassion and could not help but help them. This was the quality of Ji Mingxia that attracted Yu Ning the most in the beginning.
Maybe for Ji Mingxia now, Meng Xinyi is the Yu Ning of the past.
Thinking of this, Yu Ning lowered his eyes slightly, quietly concealing the emotions in his eyes.
Ji Mingxia vaguely felt that Yu Ning's mood seemed to have changed, but he didn't know the reason at the moment.
Is it because he kept rejecting Yu Ning's proposals that Yu Ning was unhappy
Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia suddenly realized that his hands were still grabbing the clothes, and he nervously let go.
Just as he was about to explain to Yu Ning, Ji Mingxia heard Yu Ning say, "It was their carelessness that caused your injury. You cannot share the tent with them for now, but after your injury heals, you can give them one."
Yu Ning said, raised his head, and looked at Ji Mingxia softly: "I remember that you have been paying attention to your diet and sleep quality. You are developing healthily and your physique is also very good. The wound should recover quickly."
Ji Mingxia listened, this involved issues such as his physical development and physique, of course he nodded very quickly, and said without hesitation: "Yes!"
Seeing Ji Mingxia nodding, Yu Ning curled his lips slightly at him and said, "Then you apply the medicine first. I'll give some medicine to Bao Guangyuan and ask him to take good care of Meng Xinyi. We can talk about other things after your wound heals."
Seeing that Yu Ning was still smiling at him, Ji Mingxia immediately felt relieved, as if the low mood just now was just an illusion.
Yu Ning's arrangements were so thoughtful that Ji Mingxia had no worries. After Yu Ning left, Ji Mingxia took off his clothes and began to disinfect and apply medicine on himself with difficulty.
The location of this injury is really... the wrong place (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Ji Mingxia is just an ordinary boy. He usually plays basketball and football in school. He has a fairly flexible body, so it is inevitable that he would have some minor friction and collisions occasionally.
When Ji Mingxia was injured for the first time, he didn't act like a big shot and his body recovered very quickly.
But the second time the wound was torn, the wound area increased, and it was obviously much more difficult to heal the wound.
Fortunately, Yu Ning was well prepared and brought disinfectants with him, otherwise it would have been pills.
On the other side, after Yu Ning walked out of the tent, he carefully zipped up the tent to prevent people outside from seeing what they shouldn't see.
After confirming that Ji Mingxia was fine, Yu Ning turned around.
Bao Guangyuan happened to be nearby, and Yu Ning handed the medicine that he had prepared long ago to Bao Guangyuan.
Bao Guangyuan took it with both hands, somewhat flattered: "Is this for us?"
"Mingxia asked me to give it to you." Yu Ning said slowly and calmly.
As Bao Guangyuan listened, he shuddered for some reason, and a chill ran down his spine.
Yu Ning's words were clearly heartwarming, but when he heard them, he felt a chill in his ears and could not feel any warmth at all.
He couldn't help but look up, and what he saw was Yu Ning's pair of black and gray eyes.
Compared to when we first met, I don’t know if it’s because of the light, but now Yu Ning’s black eyes are slightly gray, which matches his delicate and somewhat weird face, and his cold expression.
It didn't seem like it was sending them warmth, but rather like it was warning them of something.
"Take good care of her." Yu Ning said, and without giving Bao Guangyuan a chance to continue looking at her, he turned and left.
Bao Guangyuan stood there for a long time. It was noon and the sun was shining on him. It took him a while to feel his body temperature return to normal.
He is a well-known pet blogger who often deals with animals in his spare time and became famous for his heartwarming videos.
Although animals are cute, they can't help but hide their animal side sometimes. Although Bao Guangyuan looks young and naive, he has been scared by animals several times.
The look in Yu Ning's eyes just now inexplicably reminded him of the feeling of being stared at by a wild beast.
Take good care of her.
That "she" should be referring to Meng Xinyi.
Thinking of this, Bao Guangyuan shrank his neck.
This didn't sound like an instruction at all, but rather a lukewarm warning.
Keep an eye on her and don't cause any trouble.
Bao Guangyuan automatically translated Yu Ning's words several times in his mind.
Ji Mingxia was applying medicine in the tent while Yu Ning was outside the tent, watching over him and counting his and Ji Mingxia's supplies.
Bao Guangyuan was frightened by Yu Ning just now and didn't dare to come forward at all. He walked around in a circle but couldn't find any trace of Meng Xinyi.
When I saw her again, it was already afternoon. Meng Xinyi was wet all over, obviously having just returned from washing in the spring.
Bao Guangyuan quickly ran to her and asked, "Did you go take a shower?"
Meng Xinyi took some time to clean herself up, and her mood immediately improved. She nodded to Bao Guangyuan.
"You are injured. Taking a shower will cause the wound to become inflamed." Bao Guangyuan said worriedly.
"It's okay, they're just bruises, no broken skin, they're not afraid of water." Meng Xinyi said, "Do you have any questions for me?"
Bao Guangyuan took out the ointment that Yu Ning gave him and said, "This is what Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia gave you, but you don't have any wounds, so you shouldn't need it. Ji Mingxia's wound was quite large after I knocked her down, so why don't we give it back to them."
Hearing this, Meng Xinyi quickly reached out and took it: "This is their kindness. It would not be a good idea to give it back rashly. I'll go talk to Ming Xia and express my gratitude."
Bao Guangyuan hesitated to speak after hearing this, but Meng Xinyi had already turned around and left after getting the ointment.
Just at this time, Yu Ning took Ji Mingxia's dirty clothes and went to the spring to wash the clothes. Meng Xinyi saw Ji Mingxia sitting alone outside the tent and hurried to Ji Mingxia's side.
"Mingxia." Meng Xinyi walked forward and greeted.
Before Yu Ning washed the clothes, he helped Ji Mingxia fill a bag with clean water and put a few disposable face towels in it so that Ji Mingxia could wipe her face more conveniently.
Ji Mingxia was injured and couldn't take a bath. He was now covered in dust and there was still a little ointment on his hands, which he applied as soon as he came out of the tent.
When Meng Xinyi came over, Ji Mingxia had almost finished wiping. When he saw Meng Xinyi, Ji Mingxia raised his eyebrows slightly.
Meng Xinyi is good-looking to begin with, and even when she is covered in dust and dirt, her beauty cannot be hidden. Now that she has washed her hair and taken a shower, she looks refreshed, and her appearance has improved a lot.
At the same time, Meng Xinyi's gaze also fell on Ji Mingxia.
After wiping it clean, Ji Mingxia also looked much better than before.
Yu Ning's skin is pale, while Ji Mingxia has a very light warm white skin, coupled with a pair of bright eyes, he looks between a teenager and a young man. It can be seen that he is not very old, and he should be a very popular boy in school.
If they had not met in the forest, someone like Ji Mingxia would have been within Meng Xinyi's aesthetic range, and she would have been happy to make friends with him or even include him in her circle of mates.
Thinking of this, Meng Xinyi sat down next to Ji Mingxia and shook the ointment in her hand to Ji Mingxia: "Thank you for the medicine. Are your injuries okay? Is it enough? I don't have many wounds on my body, mostly bruises. If it's not enough for you, I'll give it back to you first."
Ever since Meng Xinyi asked Ji Mingxia whether he and Yu Ning were a couple, Ji Mingxia felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Meng Xinyi.
But at this moment Meng Xinyi sat down next to him. Ji Mingxia had no choice but to say, "It's enough. Yu Ning brought a lot. You can keep these for now in case of emergency."
Meng Xinyi nodded and looked at the bag of water in front of Ji Mingxia.
The bag of water in the plastic bag had become gray and dirty after being wiped by Ji Mingxia.
After all, there are no basins in the forest, so they can only make do with this. Although the conditions are a bit simple, it can be seen that the person who arranged it was very attentive. The bag of water is hung on the tent at a height just in front of Ji Mingxia, so he can just raise his hand to get it. It is not only effortless, but also will not pull the wound on his waist.
Thinking of this, Meng Xinyi couldn't help but say, "This is what Yu Ning prepared for you."
"Um."
"I just saw him going to the bottom of the spring to help you wash clothes. He hasn't even changed his own clothes yet." Meng Xinyi said again.
Ji Mingxia didn't expect that although Yu Ning seemed cold, he was actually so considerate.
Ever since he injured his waist, Yu Ning has been taking care of him meticulously. When Meng Xinyi pointed this out, Ji Mingxia lowered his head a little embarrassedly, but didn't say much.
Meng Xinyi changed the subject: "Just now I rashly asked about the relationship between you and Yu Ning. It was very offensive. I'm sorry. Sometimes I am very curious and can't hide my thoughts. When I saw the opportunity, I couldn't help but speak out what was in my heart."
She originally thought that Ji Mingxia would not care and would comfort her, but she did not expect that the next moment, Meng Xinyi heard Ji Mingxia say: "We just met by chance in such an extreme environment. It is not appropriate to rashly ask about each other's relationship when we just met each other."
Meng Xinyi was caught off guard by this answer and laughed dryly. She vaguely felt that Ji Mingxia didn't seem to want to continue talking to her.
But since Ji Mingxia didn't order her to leave, Meng Xinyi couldn't help but say, "Although I have a lot of fans online, I haven't been in a relationship for a long time and I'm still single."
Ji Mingxia looked at Meng Xinyi in confusion, not understanding why she suddenly mentioned him.
Meng Xinyi said to Ji Mingxia: "Although I go out every day and shoot all kinds of materials, my social circle is actually very narrow. There are only a few friends who come and go. For example, Bao Guangyuan and Song Yuelin, we have known each other for several years. Over the years, my social circle has not expanded, and I have no chance to meet more boys... When I saw you yesterday, I was actually a little surprised by you."
As she spoke, Meng Xinyi's face turned red and she glanced at Ji Mingxia shyly.
Ji Mingxia's whole body stiffened, and he had a vague feeling of bad premonition in his heart.
Meng Xinyi did not give Ji Mingxia time to digest it, and said to Ji Mingxia: "I know it is inappropriate, but I still can't wait and can't help but want to confirm the relationship between you two."
Ji Mingxia: "You mean..."
"Since you and Yu Ning are not a couple, and you don't like Yu Ning, then I feel relieved." Meng Xinyi said, holding her face with both hands, like a little girl who has just fallen in love. "You and Yu Ning are both very handsome, and I like both of you, but when I saw Yu Ning, I couldn't take my eyes off him. To be honest, when I fell from the tree this morning, Yu Ning didn't catch me, but instead ran to help you first. I was actually a little angry.
"But as soon as I saw his face, I lost all my emotions. I just felt my heart beating really fast, completely out of my control."
Meng Xinyi said, covering her chest with her hands: "I have never had such a big reaction to a person in my life. At first I couldn't believe it. I just knew you guys for a few hours and Yu Ning never talked to me. How could I fall in love with someone so quickly
"But... when I see him, my face will turn red and my cheeks will get hot unconsciously. Sometimes I don't even dare to look at him carefully, especially when he looks at me. I get so nervous that I hold the corners of my clothes tightly and almost tear them..."
Meng Xinyi concluded: "I think this is what love is."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and saw Ji Mingxia staring at her blankly with eyes wide open. Meng Xinyi couldn't help but ask, "Mingxia, what's wrong with you?"
Ji Mingxia sat in his seat blankly. As Meng Xinyi spoke, the past scenes between him and Yu Ning jumped into his mind.
He just felt his head was dizzy and he was completely stunned.
So, is this what love is
