"Let me try it to see if it fits." Gu Shichu said as he took off his pajamas and changed into the Dacron shirt.
Ji Mingtao didn't expect that she would take off her clothes right in front of him, and his face became hot. Although they had been frank with each other countless times, he still felt a little uncomfortable when he suddenly saw Gu Shichu's casual behavior.
However, his blush did not last long. When his eyes quickly swept over Gu Shichu's slender upper body, he keenly noticed the sudden redness and swelling on her fair shoulders.
"What's wrong with your shoulder? Is it injured?" Ji Mingtao didn't care about being shy. He held Gu Shichu's body, stared at the red mark on her shoulder, and asked in a low voice.
Gu Shichu glanced at the red and swollen marks on his shoulders and said nonchalantly, "I went to the county market today and bought a lot of things. I carried them back. Maybe they were a little heavy. My shoulders became like this after carrying them for a long time. It will heal soon. Don't worry about it."
Ji Mingtao frowned, and seeing that she didn't care about her health, he got a little angry: "You're already injured like this and you still don't care about it. Are you waiting for it to get infected? Put on your clothes and go see the village doctor."
Gu Shichu thought he was making a fuss and shook his head, "Don't bother. My skin is just delicate and it got red and swollen after a little injury. It's actually not as serious as it looks. The swelling will go down in two days."
Ji Mingtao looked at her with his dark eyes, full of disapproval: "Doesn't it hurt? What if you get a scar?"
Seeing that he cared more than she did, Gu Shichu couldn't help but said with a smile: "It doesn't hurt much, just bear with it, it doesn't matter if there is a scar. Do you dislike me because of the scar on my shoulder?"
Ji Mingtao looked serious and frowned as he said, "Don't say such frivolous words. Your body is your own. If you don't take care of yourself, who else will care?"
"You are very concerned, aren't you?" Gu Shichu said with a smile, "I didn't expect Brother Ji to be such a kind and gentle person. Since you said so, I definitely can't just ignore these injuries. But Brother Ji, what should I do if I don't have medicine at home?"
Ji Mingtao couldn't help but feel warm in his heart when he heard her call him "Brother Ji" in a delicate and deliberate way. His ears turned red. He looked away and said, "I still have some medicine at home, but you'd better go to the village doctor and let him take a look at you."
"No need. Brother Ji's medicine is definitely better than the one from the village doctor. I'm going to use yours!" Gu Shichu said this deliberately.
Ji Mingtao nodded and said seriously, "My medicine for injuries is made by myself using a family recipe passed down from generation to generation. It is indeed more effective. I will go back and give it to you now. You just wait here and don't move."
After saying that, he went back to get the medicine.
Gu Shichu looked down at the red and swollen scars on his shoulders and couldn't help but sigh. This bed partner was so caring and gentle. How reluctant he would be to let her leave in the future!
But being able to sleep in the same bed with him for the past few years was something she stole by being rebellious, so don't demand too much, just enjoy it to the fullest.
After Gu Shichu thought about it, she quickly put this emotion behind her and continued to pick up the new clothes to try them on heartlessly. If she didn't try them now, she would not be able to try them after Ji Mingtao applied medicine on her.
Ji Mingtao was worthy of being the man who had measured her body from head to toe, and the clothes he bought for her fit her perfectly.
After hearing Ji Mingtao's footsteps, she quickly took off her new clothes, and Ji Mingtao came in soon.
He just stared at Gu Shichu's shoulder, his eyes didn't move down at all, just like a gentleman who didn't like women. He didn't look around, just focused on helping Gu Shichu apply the medicine.
Gu Shichu tilted his head and looked at Ji Mingtao. His thick and long eyelashes drooped down, making him look particularly delicate and exquisite under the dim light. His high nose bridge and superior brow bones made his facial contours look particularly three-dimensional and handsome.
The more you look at a beauty under the light, the more beautiful she becomes. The man who is applying medicine to her seriously is so damn tempting!
Gu Shichu really wanted to push the man down on her bed, but she just now felt tired and the wound on her shoulder was aching slightly. Her desire to have fun was mostly extinguished, and she could only admire the handsome man under the light.
"Okay." The handsome man's voice, as magnetic as a cello, rang in Gu Shichu's ears, and Gu Shichu finally woke up from his beauty and lust.
Ji Mingtao also warned: "Be careful not to let the wound come into contact with water in the next two days... If you go to work, do some light work and don't carry anything, so as to avoid the wound getting inflamed and getting worse."
"Okay, thank you Brother Ji. Then would you like to stay and supervise me?" Gu Shichu said with a smile. Ji Mingtao glanced at her and ignored her teasing.
Instead, he picked up her pajamas and put them on her gently, just like dressing a child.
Gu Shichu couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Ji Mingtao had no idea what weird thing she was thinking about again, and she was laughing for no reason.
"I laughed at you for making a lot of progress. Not only are you getting more and more skilled at helping me take off my clothes, you're also getting more and more skilled at helping me put on clothes. You used to be so clumsy when taking off my clothes. I still remember the first time you..."
"Shut up!" Ji Mingtao glared at Gu Shichu, the veins on his forehead almost popping out. He didn't understand how Gu Shichu could be so thick-skinned that he could even bring up such a private matter in their room.
Following Gu Shichu's words, he thought of the first time they had physical contact. He appeared calm, as if "everything was under control", but when he actually did it, he was flustered. He even tried to unbutton Gu Shichu's shirt, but he couldn't find the buttons after searching in the dark for a long time. It was not until Gu Shichu took it off herself that he realized that her shirt had no buttons...
Gu Shichu laughed so hard at that moment that the matter almost couldn't continue.
Ji Mingtao felt embarrassed and ashamed whenever he thought of this incident, but he had to pretend that he didn't care about Gu Shichu's teasing, which was very difficult.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more. Don't be shy, Brother Ji." Seeing that he was about to get angry, Gu Shichu quickly comforted him.
Ji Mingtao's handsome face flushed, and he glared at her coldly before taking the flashlight he had just brought from home and saying, "I'll leave this for you. Come to me when the battery runs out."
Gu Shichu was a little surprised when she saw the flashlight. She had just seen Ji Mingtao selling flashlights on the black market during the day, and he gave it to her at night.
"Isn't this expensive? There are not many families in our village that have flashlights. Are you really willing to give it to me?" Gu Shichu asked him, feeling a little touched. A flashlight could be sold for a lot of money on the black market, but Ji Mingtao left one for her.
Ji Mingtao said calmly: "Use it if I give it to you, otherwise you will come to see me at night and fall when it is too dark." After saying this, the tips of his ears turned red.
Gu Shichu immediately understood. It turned out that this was to make it convenient for her to find him at night. Tsk tsk, man!
