You’re Welcome
Shen Yue didn’t see anyone else around. He had expected that Zhao Changshan would have thrown him out or killed on the spot after hearing the truth. However, he had been left lying in bed for several days, and the only person to take care of him was Zhao Jianlong.
While examining him, she noticed his unusual appearance. On top of his body being covered with bloody picked scabs, Shen Yue was drenched in sweat. The pungent nauseous smell coming off him made Zhao Jianlong turn her nose away to avoid being sick. If she didn’t deal with it today, her second uncle would notice.
Shen Yue had closed his eyes and thought that she had left as he hadn’t heard anything for a while, but he didn’t expect that she would return, carrying a basin of hot water.
Zhao Jianlong stood by the bed, hesitating whether to take care of him. Her heart felt complicated and unsure as she stared at him.
Shen Yue couldn’t believe it. Not only did she come back, but she also seemed to be planning to take care of him. Shouldn’t she despise me?
Zhao Jianlong simply ignored him and threw the handkerchief she had used to wipe her hands onto his head, covering his fierce eyes.
The moment she leaned down closely to him, Shen Yue’s heart couldn’t help but beat excitedly. It was as if a withered leaf had fallen into a pond and returned to life. It was a pity that he could not see her at this moment. Her beautiful face still appeared in his mind. He wished he could hold it in his palm like a treasure.
By the time he woke from his stupor, his top had already been taken off and her petite hands slowly inched towards his trousers.
“Don’t…” His weak voice leaked out like a whisper. He paused for a moment, before taking off his pants without hesitation. Only a pair of underwear was left on his body. Fortunately, she didn’t move to take it off.
A familiar warm feeling overcame his body, as he sensed a cotton towel being soaked in hot water being rubbed against his body. The sticky feeling covering him had disappeared, and left him feeling extremely comfortable.
She did not care about his refusal, so she decided not to speak as continued. After his eyes were covered, his senses were especially keen. So he noticed and felt his underwear being pulled open a little bit as she stretched the hot towel out and wiped his family treasures.
However, he immediately realized in horror that his spot had been touched by a towel. He felt like he was daydreaming, yet he did not firm up. In the past, he used to have strong urges, so he didn’t mind bothering her all day and night. But now, he couldn’t do it. It seemed that this was retribution from the heavens. This wasn’t a good thing, as he wasn’t able to cut off his thoughts.
A refreshing feeling came from his body. The pain and itchiness had mostly disappeared, thanks to the effect of the ointment.
She had always taken care of him like this. He felt that it was not bad to lie down like this. He wanted to see what kind of expression she had when looking at his body, while giving such intimate care.
By the time everything was done, an hour had passed. Just as Shen Yue was feeling drowsy, she slapped his cheek and shouted, “Open your mouth.”
He subconsciously opened his mouth and then she poured a spoonful of bitter decoction into it. He took a small sip, before tightly closing his mouth. He wasn’t afraid of suffering, but he didn’t want to get better.
“You’re weird. Don’t expect me to be so polite to you in the future!” As she said that, Zhao Jianlong pinched his cheeks and forced him to open his mouth. He struggled and had no choice but to swallow the rest of the decoction. Even though her actions were rude, she prevented him from choking as he drank.
…
Half a month passed quickly. Zhao Jianlong insisted on taking care of him every day, but Shen Yue did not say a word. Zhao Jianlong saw that he did not want to talk to her, so she packed up as usual and slowly retreated without looking back. However, before she could walk out the door, she suddenly heard a sigh from Shen Yue, as if he was troubled. She didn’t ask, she didn’t want to ask for trouble, but she was left feeling very curious about him as left the room.
…
Under Zhao Jianlong’s careful watch, Shen Yue gradually recovered. Every day, she would give him a large pot of medicine to nourish his qi and help replenish his blood. Although his internal force had not yet recovered, his internal injuries had mostly healed up. The scars and scabs on his face fell off, revealing his previously handsome face, which surprised Zhao Jianlong even more. However, what shocked her even more was looked incredibly young.
Shen Yue grabbed the edge of the bed and tried to sit up. After a while, he was able to sit up on his own. He then tried to stand up, but felt powerless as if he was dragging two boulders for legs. He lifted up his pants and saw the two healed arrow wounds on his waist. He was afraid that he would not be able to walk anymore.
