Outside the room door, Li Xiao heard Cai Xiaotang's firm tone and knew that no matter what he said, she would never open the door.

He lowered his hand and silently handed the ointment in his hand to Jiang Baobao behind him.

Jiang Baobao took it casually, his eyes filled with helplessness and worry.

He had no choice but to knock on the door and persuade him: "Xiaotang, please open the door and I will give you medicine."

She emphasized the last few words to indicate that she was the only one who would go in.

"It's really not necessary."

As expected, Cai Xiaotang refused again without hesitation.

Jiang Baobao's eyes flickered for a moment, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry.

She can understand Xiaotang's emotions.

But why is she torturing her body like this?

As a friend, she will also be very worried about her!

Jiang Baobao pursed his lips and suddenly had an idea in his heart. He knocked on the door again and said in a serious tone: "Xiaotang, please open the door. I have to give you medicine on your hands today. If you don't open the door..."

Halfway through her words, she suddenly frowned on purpose and exclaimed.

"Ah...my stomach...hurts so much..."

"Baby!!!"

Li Beijue was startled by her sudden situation, and immediately came over in panic.

But he got a meaningful look from Jiang Baobao.

He paused for a moment and suddenly understood something.

The next second——

"Baby, what's wrong with you?"

The closed door was suddenly opened, and a panicked Cai Xiaotang finally walked out.

"You are finally willing to come out."

Jiang Baobao grabbed her wrist.

Then he saw that most of the ice cubes on her hand had melted, almost soaking the entire handkerchief, and the edges of the exposed skin were redder than before, so the medicine must be applied as soon as possible.

"Come in with me."

There was no time to say anything else now, so Jiang Baobao directly grabbed her, closed the door, and pulled Cai Xiaotang to the sofa.

Cai Xiaotang finally reacted and stared at her blankly for a few seconds before saying in disbelief: "Baby, you've learned so badly that you actually lied to me..."

"If I didn't say that, would you open the door?"

Jiang Baobao replied angrily. As he spoke, he had already untied Li Xiao's handkerchief, and took a deep breath when he saw the back of Cai Xiaotang's hand, which was burnt red.

Cai Xiaotang's skin was originally fair, but the large area of ​​red on the back of her hand looked shocking. Just looking at it made people think of how painful it would be.

"You still say you don't need to take medicine? Why are you so stubborn?"

Jiang Baobao hurriedly opened the ointment and carefully squeezed it onto her skin.

Cai Xiaotang pursed her lips and said nothing, but couldn't help but tremble when Jiang Baobao tried to spread the ointment evenly.

"Just say it if it hurts."

Jiang Baobao felt extremely distressed, and the movements of his hands became lighter and lighter.

Cai Xiaotang was almost numb from the pain.

Then I heard Jiang Baobao say: "Li Xiao is very worried about you, you..."

"Baby."

Cai Xiaotang interrupted her and made an expression that clearly didn't want to hear what she said.

Jiang Baobao had no choice but to swallow his words.

Neither of the two people spoke, only the ointment exuded a faint fragrance.

For a long time——

"I just don't want him to think I'm pretending to be pitiful and forcing him to agree to Luo Wanwan's affairs."

Cai Xiaotang suddenly said something in a low voice.

Jiang Baobao was stunned when he heard this and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Why do you think so?"

"I don't know either."

Cai Xiaotang shook her head, her tone a little irritable.

"Just think that I'm stubborn. Anyway... I don't want Li Xiao to be forced to agree to send Luo Wanwan away because of any external factors. Unless he is really willing to do so, otherwise... even if he sends him away, sooner or later he will be gone.

We’ll get in touch again, right?”

Jiang Baobao stopped moving his hands and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

After a long while, he still swallowed the words that came to his lips.

She knows Xiaotang well.

So there is no need to say anything more.

Jiang Baobao carefully applied the ointment and withdrew his hand.

"In that case, then you should have a good rest and stop thinking about it. I will come back tomorrow to change your dressing. If anything happens, be sure to send me a message. If you let me know what you are hiding from me again, I will really

I'm angry."

Jiang Baobao looked at the person in front of him almost earnestly, completely unable to feel relieved.

In the past, she took her two little ones to a foreign country.

After coming back, so many things happened to Li Beijue.

From the beginning to the end, Xiaotang has been accompanying her to make suggestions, so now, she doesn't want to see her trapped in a hard-won relationship.

"Okay, I understand, you should go back quickly, I won't send you off."

Cai Xiaotang understood Jiang Baobao's kindness and forced a smile.

"good."

Jiang Baobao nodded, and after telling her not to get water on the wound, he left.

There was a "click" sound.

The door was gently closed.

Cai Xiaotang heard Li Xiao's questioning voice coming from outside the door.

Sure enough, he didn't leave...

Cai Xiaotang leaned on the sofa tiredly, staring at the ceiling with unfocused eyes.

My thoughts can't help but drift away.

Why is she so stubborn...

Even she herself doesn't know.

Probably because... I feel that relationships are too troublesome, and I really want to get a relationship without any "impurities".

There are too many people in this world, and after a lifetime, they are just "making do".

What's more, there are many people who can't even be called "making do".

Such as her mother.

The baby is also very happy now.

But she also saw how she and Li Beijue got to where they are now step by step.

What she, Cai Xiaotang, wants is someone who only has her in his eyes and heart.

If not, I would rather die alone.

She likes Li Xiao.

This is the first time I like someone so much.

So, without much hesitation, I took the initiative to pursue it.

But now.

She felt sad that she liked him.

If the "root cause" of her sadness cannot be solved.

Then she can also... give up happily.

Outside the door——

Li Xiao asked about Cai Xiaotang's injury and looked at her door hesitantly.

He rarely showed his emotions, but at this moment, he almost showed what he was thinking on his face.

Jiang Baobao stared at him for a few seconds, looking worried.

She paused for two seconds, then whispered: "Li Xiao, please come with me."

Li Xiao nodded in agreement and followed Jiang Baobao farther away.

The two of them stood in front of the elevator.

Jiang Baobao said helplessly: "Originally, I shouldn't have said these words, but... I really don't want to see you two quarreling. Xiaotang... she said some very outrageous things to you, right?"

Li Xiao frowned, but was not surprised that Jiang Baobao knew this.
