2526 Side Story 30: Regret
Why is she angry?
Xiao Ba was stunned by this question. She subconsciously looked at Yan Qing and saw that his eyes were silent and deep.
His eyes were relatively light. At this moment, they seemed to be covered in a thin layer of moonlight, like the moon that had soaked into a cold lake. They were cold and bright, but they were unfathomable.
He had always been expressionless, but at this moment, when they looked at each other, she suddenly felt as if she had been scalded by something.
“B-Because you lied to me!” She subconsciously avoided Yan Qing’s gaze and quickly threw out a sentence.
Yan Qing thought that this wasn’t the answer he wanted to hear. Hence, he said calmly, “Lin Zhifei is injured and unconscious. His condition is critical. In that situation, it was indeed difficult for me to speak. Besides—”
He paused. “This isn’t the first time I’ve had such an injury. It’s always been like this in the past. Therefore, I didn’t hide it on purpose, let alone lie to you.”
His words made Xiao Ba feel even more complicated.
In the past, she didn’t know Yan Qing very well. How did she know that he was injured and didn’t say anything? Moreover, she had run in on impulse and questioned him. In the end… she had even forgotten that he used his right hand to practice the sword.
Her originally arrogant aura immediately disappeared without a trace.
“Oh, I see…” She stared at the ground and coughed lightly. Then, me running over like this is really…
After holding it in for a long time, she finally asked, “Ho-how’s your injury now? If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first—”
“It’s nothing. It’s just a small injury,” Yan Qing replied casually.
Initially, Xiao Ba really planned to leave. When she heard this, she suddenly recalled Jian Fengchi’s words.
How could it be a small injury?
Her eyes fell on his shoulder. Then, she took a deep breath and said, “Let me see then.”
Yan Qing was stunned, but he quickly understood what she meant.
He hesitated for a moment and then shook his head. “There’s no need. Compared to Lin Zhifei’s injuries, it’s indeed nothing.”
“Lin Zhifei is Lin Zhifei, and you are you!”
Moreover, what’s there to compare when it comes to injuries?
When Xiao Ba saw his nonchalant expression, she was furious. She grabbed Yan Qing’s right arm, pulled him into the house, and pressed him into the chair.
The lights in the room were on, and there were shadows.
Then, she stood in front of him with her arms crossed and said, “Take it off!”
…
Xiao Ba swore that she really didn’t have any other ulterior motives when she said this. But sometimes, things wouldn’t develop in the direction she had expected.
Just like now.
The weather was cold, and Yan Qing was wearing light clothes. When he moved, she could even see the muscles under his clothes rise and fall.
Perhaps because it was inconvenient for his left hand, he placed the sword on the table. After a moment of silence, he began to unbuckle it with his right hand.
He raised his head slightly and started with the top one.
The warm light outlined his handsome and cold side profile. His nose bridge was advanced, and his jaw was smooth.
His protruding Adam’s apple was especially eye-catching for some reason.
Xiao Ba stared at it, and a thought suddenly appeared in her mind. I wonder how it feels to touch it…
She quickly returned to her senses. Crazy! I actually had such a thought?!
But soon, her attention was drawn away again—Yan Qing had already unbuttoned the first button and started to unbutton the second.
He tilted his head. Under his slightly loose collar, one could see his collarbone.
He was thin and lean, but his body under his clothes seemed to contain vigorous strength.
Then, she thought, Is a man’s collarbone also so beautiful…
Yan Qing didn’t seem to notice her current expression.
Ka.
A soft sound could be heard.
Xiao Ba was stunned for a moment. Then, she saw Yan Qing untie the jade belt around his waist.
The jade belt was placed on the table—right under her nose.
She glanced at it and suddenly remembered the scene when she stretched out her finger and hooked the jade belt that night.
Her face instantly heated up.
Yan Qing asked, “Is that enough?”
She was shocked and looked up subconsciously.
Yan Qing was wearing a black shirt. Even though it was loose, his thin waist could still be vaguely seen.
The position of his left shoulder was indeed a little different. Was it because of the bandaging?
She said, “No, I want to see your wound. How do I look like this?”
Yan Qing paused and finally took off his shirt.
The night wind blew gently, and the moonlight melted. The shadows of the trees danced.
Under the light, a thin but strong and muscular body came into view. Usually, he looked thin, but now that he had taken off his clothes, it was obvious that the strength contained under those tough and beautiful muscles couldn’t be underestimated.
Xiao Ba was stunned for a moment before she saw the gauze wrapped around his left shoulder.
It was also stained with blood.
She frowned and walked forward again, asking, “The wound is bleeding again?”
Then, she said firmly, “It must’ve been caused by your sword practice just now.”
Although they weren’t on the same side, if he practiced the sword, it would more or less trigger his blood and Qi, causing his injuries to worsen. It was normal.
Yan Qing glanced at it and didn’t seem to care much. “Maybe.”
Xiao Ba glanced at him. “You said you were fine just now? What do you mean now?!”
She reached out to untie his gauze, intending to help deal with the bandage again.
She was angry again, but soon, this anger dissipated.
A bone-deep wound crossed his entire left shoulder and spread all the way to the edge of his chest. Even though the medicine had been applied, it was still a shocking sight.
Xiao Ba had already expected this, but the moment she really saw it, her heart still trembled. Such an injury… If it were any worse, his entire arm would’ve been cut off, or his heart would have been pierced. He actually… endured it just like that? If not for Jian Fengchi, no one would know that he had suffered such injuries and pain.
Xiao Ba pursed her lips and felt suffocated. It was as if she wanted to flare up, but she had nowhere to vent her anger.
Deep in her heart, she felt sour and indescribable.
She didn’t say anything. She just got up to get hot water and a handkerchief to help him wipe away the oozing blood.
Her movements were very light. No one in the room spoke, so it was very quiet.
After a while, Yan Qing turned to look at her, but he only saw her lowered eyes. Her thick curly eyelashes trembled slightly, like a butterfly that was about to fly.
He actually wanted to see her expression at this moment, but she seemed to be very focused. After wiping it, she began to apply the medicine again.
When the powder landed on the wound, his body tensed for a moment, and his muscles twitched slightly.
This action was very subtle, but Xiao Ba could see it clearly.
She paused for a moment and moved more carefully.
The two of them sat very close.
When she applied the medicine, her warm breath landed on his body. Her tender and soft hands rubbed against his skin from time to time.
Other than the pain, there was a gradually spreading itchiness.
Yan Qing suddenly regretted it.
