Nangong Ying carried Bai Yuxin back to her room with ease and gently put her on the bed.
First, he handed her a large dry towel, and then brought her a medical kit.
"Wipe the water off your body first and be patient. It will be fine in a while. Otherwise, your ankles will be very swollen tomorrow."
His voice was still gentle and his whole person was calm and composed, as if nothing had happened between the two of them before.
She knew that the reason why he acted so indifferently was because he didn't want her to be embarrassed and ugly.
After all, given their current identities, that kiss... was inappropriate.
Such a tall and handsome body condescended to squat down, apply medicinal wine on her sprained ankle, and massage it.
Some people say that if a man is willing to kneel down and put on your shoes for you, then you are the princess in his mind and the incarnation of the goddess of love.
Bai Yuxin looked at the calm and gentle Nangong Ying, and she would be lying if she said she wasn't moved.
He applied medicine to her with his bleeding hands. No matter how she tried to stop him, he pretended not to hear her.
It turns out that no matter how gentle a man is, he has his own persistence, and this persistence... is only for her sprained foot.
Her nose is a little sour, and no one has been so kind to her for a long time.
However, she was already an unclean woman and was labeled as a mistress. It was not worth it for him to be so beautiful for her.
When Nangong Ying finally took the medicine, stood up, and was about to walk out with the medicine box, Bai Yuxin grabbed his wrist.
He looked at her and raised his eyebrows. He didn't understand her intention of holding him back, but he waited patiently for her to speak.
Such slender white hands held his wrist gently, her palms were cool and soft, and her eyes were as bright and firm as a deer.
"...Your hand is also injured. Now it's up to me to apply medicine for you." She pursed her lips and said shyly, hoping he wouldn't dislike it.
He smiled calmly: "No, I will apply the medicine myself, and I will ask the housekeeper to come over and help you take a bath. You must take a hot bath immediately, otherwise you will definitely catch a cold."
After saying that, he slowly took her hand away, and the warmth of his palm warmed her heart.
