The original inn has been exposed, and someone might come to kill him in the future. Even if he is injured, Tong Yan is not willing to stay longer for treatment, he just wants to leave this place as soon as possible.
He Zhan has been silent since Gu Yuqi arrived. Tong Yan was focused on finding a safe place again and did not notice his current state. Only when Gu Yuqi talked to Tong Yan, he used his peripheral vision without leaving any trace.
I looked at him a few times.
Gu Yuqi nodded in agreement with Tong Yan's words and took the opportunity to take them to another place to stay.
This inn was originally found temporarily, and the conditions were not satisfactory in all aspects. Now there was another fight, and there was blood everywhere, so it was no longer suitable to live in.
The inn that I checked into again was much better than the previous one, and it was a bit far away from the previous place. At least there were soldiers chasing me behind me, so I would definitely not be able to find them for a while.
Tong Yan took a hasty shower in the room and was about to look in the mirror to apply medicine to the wound on his back. When he was still turning his head to look in the mirror with difficulty to find a place, there was a knock on the door.
"It's me." It was Gu Yuqi's voice.
Tong Yan suppressed her annoyance about not being able to take the medicine, pulled up her clothes and went to open the door. When the door opened, she saw someone waiting with their face turned sideways and their eyebrows lowered, looking at the ground.
Gu Yuqi raised his eyes and what caught his eye were the wet stains on her face and the delicate collarbone exposed by the loose dress on her chest.
His face darkened, and he raised his hand to cover her exposed skin. At the same time, he turned his head and looked at the corridors on both sides. No one was there, so he quickly pushed the person into the room.
After closing the door, he began to lecture. His serious tone sounded like Tong Yan had suffered a great loss because of this, "How can you open the door before you are fully clothed? There are many people in the inn, and it is no safer than your own home."
Tong Yan grabbed the lapel of his clothes and responded, "Ah...oh."
Her clothes were a little messy at best, with only her collarbone exposed. It wasn't as serious as he said, but Gu Yuqi's words were correct, and Tong Yan didn't refute anything.
She changed the subject and asked him, "Why did you come to see me?"
"Help you apply the medicine." Gu Yuqi looked at her somewhat pale face and said.
She was injured on the shoulder blade of her back. It was almost impossible to apply medicine by herself. The wound could be pulled by any movement.
What Tong Yan was thinking about at this time was not whether he could complete the application of medicine alone, but whether Gu Yuqi could help him. Wouldn't it be necessary to take off his shirt in front of him?
There was a hint of rejection on her face, and her mouth moved to say no.
Gu Yuqi had already seen her intention and interrupted first: "Don't say you can do it by yourself. I don't believe it. You gave me the medicine in the cave last time. I'll pay you back this time."
What Tong Yan wanted to say was cut off. What else could Tong Yan say? He was just trying to be brave if he said he could apply the medicine himself. And with his subsequent words about repaying her with the medicine, there seemed to be no reason to continue to refuse.
While she was still hesitating, Gu Yuqi suddenly said something, which made Tong Yan blush, "You don't have to worry about me taking advantage of you."
"No...no! How could it be possible?" Tong Yan immediately shook his head and waved his hands in denial, feeling awkward and picking at his feet for a moment.
How could she think about such a serious thing!
Gu Yuqi pulled her to sit down, his eyes paused on the mirror on the table, then he saw the open medicine bottle next to him, and he immediately understood Tong Yan's intention.
He turned the mirror upside down and looked at Tong Yan, who was a little embarrassed in front of him. He didn't know whether he was praising or derogating and said, "Your ability to show off is top-notch."
Even though I can't take the medicine well, I don't take the initiative to ask him for help. Is it because I have no sense of existence?
In fact, he understood that she was more independent and would try not to trouble others if she could, so even if others wanted to help her, they would not speak rashly.
"Ha???" What does it mean to give her such a comment suddenly? Is it to ridicule or praise her?
"Show the wound." Gu Yuqi asked her to turn around, while he took out the wound medicine and put it aside.
After a moment's hesitation, Tong Yan let go of his collar and took off his coat. He was only wearing an obscene garment, revealing half of his smooth back.
The jade-white skin made the foot-long wound look particularly hideous.
The warm and rough fingertips touched her, causing her body to tremble. She didn't know whether it was pain or discomfort.
Gu Yuqi hurriedly asked: "Does it hurt?"
His eyes with his back to her were not only distressed, but also filled with self-blame and a flash of guilt. His voice was very gentle, and just listening to it made people feel the concern of the speaker.
"A bit." Tong Yan tightened the fingers holding the clothes on her chest and nodded a little helplessly.
After a pause, he added, "You should move faster, it's a bit cold."
She couldn't tell whether it was really cold or whether such contact made her feel inexplicably flustered.
Gu Yuqi thought she was afraid of pain and urged him. His eyes darkened a little, and he silently gave her the medicine as soon as possible.
His words were enough, and Tong Yan seemed to have received some kind of amnesty. He immediately pulled up his clothes. Before the back collar was about to return to its position, he was suddenly grabbed and pulled down.
Tong Yan was startled by Gu Yuqi's movements, and then she felt rough fingertips touching her left shoulder, and the tickling feeling was too clear to ignore.
"What are you doing!"
Gu Yuqi's voice came from behind, with a hint of doubt in his tone. "When did you get injured?"
Hurt? Tong Yan looked down and saw a light white line on his shoulder, which was more than ten centimeters long. The color was a little whiter than his skin color. It wasn't particularly eye-catching, but it obviously ruined the beauty.
After seeing clearly where he was touching, Tong Yan snorted angrily and pulled up her clothes decisively.
She straightened her clothes and turned around, glaring at Gu Yuqi sideways, and said pointedly, "I saved a white-eyed wolf once when I was young and ignorant, but ended up beheading me as soon as I woke up. This is the evidence!"
At first, Gu Yuqi frowned and thought, this person was so ignorant that he deserved to die, so how could he save him? The next second, he suddenly realized that what she said was very familiar.
A long, long time ago, a little girl saved him on the roadside. At that time, he was unconscious and only relied on his body's instinct to act. When he sensed that there was demonic energy around him, he took action directly.
Gu Yuqi was silent. At that time, he not only slashed the girl's shoulder, but also stabbed her in the back.
Later, when he met this girl again, she asked him angrily if he still remembered that she had saved him.
If he were to be repaid with kindness like this, he wouldn't necessarily just ask a question.
"How about I let you cut it back?" Gu Yuqi took Tong Yan's hand and said.
His eyes were so serious that Tong Yan felt that if he really drew his sword and slashed him twice, he would definitely endure it without saying a word.
Averting his gaze, Tong Yan said, "You also saved me, so it's even."
"We can't let it go." Gu Yuqi said, pulling her into his arms and hugging her, smelling the girly fragrance mixed with the smell of medicine on her body, "I promise to repay my kindness with my body."
Tong Yan plucked him from his arms a few times, raised his face and said speechlessly: "In what age are we still willing to commit ourselves to each other? Isn't it embarrassing?"
Just as he was about to push the person away, Gu Yuqi grasped the right measure and let go first, arranging her ears and hair.
"Isn't it said that there is no way to repay the kindness of saving a life? After death, I will wear a ring of grass and work as a cow or a horse in the next life. The next life is too far away and I can't afford to wait."
