Lying quietly in the rocking chair, Ye Kui looked out the window at the night sky.
The dark night was so dense that it was as if the blackness was about to pour down at any time. The faint light of the stars, through the layers of black mist, reflected in and out of her eyes and face.
Winter nights are cold and lonely.
Tuk-tuk-tuk——
The door, which was originally slightly closed, now heard a series of knocks on the door.
Looking back, Ye Kui moved slightly, hugging the pillow in her hand tighter, resting her small chin on her knees, "Come in."
At this time, the door was pushed open and Mrs. Tian came in holding a medicine box.
"Young Madam, when you first came back, I saw that your foot was injured. I will give you some medicine."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Kui was slightly startled, raised his head, looked at Sister-in-law Tian, and smiled lightly. "Sister-in-law Tian is so attentive."
Others could spot her injuries so easily, but he turned a blind eye from beginning to end.
But, whatever.
Mrs. Tian knelt down and placed the medicine box on the carpet. She raised her head and looked straight at Ye Kui's ** feet.
She was suddenly startled, "Ah, Madam, there are so many blisters on my feet, how painful it is!"
In fact, if the young master asked her to come over and look at the young lady's feet, she would not notice that the young lady was injured.
However, despite the young master's cold and silent appearance, he still cares about the young madam in his heart.
She took a cotton swab dipped in ointment and carefully rubbed it on the wound on Ye Kui's foot.
As soon as it touched, Ye Kui subconsciously pulled back her foot in pain.
Seeing the pair of white and tender feet in front of her, they were red and swollen, and the skin was even scratched and bleeding. She felt pain just looking at it. "Young madam, you are being patient."
Ye Kui nodded and frowned slightly.
After seeing Mrs. Tian put away her hand and put the ointment into the medicine box, she raised her head and looked at Mrs. Tian.
Her red lips raised, and she showed a sweet smile. "Sister-in-law Tian, thank you."
Waving her hand, Mrs. Tian took the medicine box in her hand and said, "Young madam, this is what I should do."
In fact, she felt that it was the young master that the young lady should thank.
After Mrs. Tian left, Ye Kui kept lying so quietly in the rocking chair. Gradually, sleepiness came over her, and she fell asleep before she knew it.
The dark night gradually deepened, and the cold wind blew against the windows, making a whistling sound.
It was a cold, deep winter night, with a cold wind like ice.
Ye Kui hugged the pillow tightly with both hands, her delicate side face rubbed against the white plush cushion, and unconsciously, she lay curled up tightly on the rocking chair.
At this time, the door was pushed open from the outside, and a slender figure slowly walked in.
He walked to the window, raised his hand, and closed the window.
The howling cold wind was tightly blocked outside the window, and the night became completely quiet.
Turning around, Dugu Xiang leaned against the window, his eyes falling on Ye Kui's little feet hanging under the rocking chair.
The white, tender and smooth skin of the little feet was covered with red and swollen bruises, and the worn skin was oozing with blood. After applying ointment, it was obviously much better.
He looked away, moved upwards, and landed directly on the small face half-hidden in the darkness in the rocking chair.
After a pause, he stood up and walked to the rocking chair.
He bent down and stretched out his hands to pick up Ye Kui, who was sleeping soundly.
