Chapter 15
The warm breath fell on the wound, hot and itchy, and an electric current ran from the wound to his limbs.
Gong Mingyeâs Adamâs apple bobbed as he said unhappily, âWhat are you doing?â
Gu Wanâan was startled and her hand trembled, pressing the cotton swab into the wound.
âHiss-â
Gong Mingyeâs back tensed up as he sucked in a sharp breath of air.
Itâs over, itâs over!
Gu Wanâan panicked and apologized cautiously. âIâm sorry, I didnât do it on purpose. You suddenly made a sound and startled me, so my hand slipped and I poked the wound.â
âWhat are you doing blowing hot air on my back. Are you trying to seduce me?â Gong Mingye sneered sarcastically.
â..â
Gu Wanâan rolled her eyes. She really wanted to slap her mouth twice.
Who told you to meddle, who told you to speak nonsense, who told you to blow air!
âI guessed whatâs on your mind and you donât have anything more to say?â
The manâs expression was slightly cold, and his tone was firm. His face clearly said âIâve already seen through you, so you should stop denying itâ.
The corner of Gu Wanâanâs mouth twitched.
This guessâ¦It was so ridiculous that he could get full marks!
âWhen I was young, I heard my grandmother say that if you feel pain, blow on the wound twice and it wonât hurt anymore.â She tried to explain.
Gong Mingyeâs expression improved a little and a hint of warmth flashed across his eyes as he scoffed lightly. âChildish!â
Just as Gu Wanâan was about to retort, a stinging pain came from her back and she could not help but frown.
Gong Mingyeâs gaze fell on her tightly furrowed brows. He said coldly, âTake off your clothes.â
âAh?â
Gu Wanâan was shocked.
Then, seeing the man bend down to pick up the medicine box, she suddenly understood and quickly waved her hand to refuse. âItâs fine. Thereâs no need.â
There was no one else in the room, so there was no need to act lovey-dovey anymore.
âGet down.â Gong Mingye stared at her coldly, his tone not allowing for any rejection.
Gu Wanâan frowned and struggled for a while in silence. She watched as the manâs expression grew colder and colder, and finally gave in.
She lay on edge of the bed and lifted her clothes.
The wound was deep, and even the skin was torn open.
Gong Mingyeâs expression darkened. He dipped the cotton swab with disinfectant and accidentally brushed his fingers across her fair back.
Gu Wanâan quivered.
Suddenly, the cotton swab fell on the wound.
âHiss-â
She sucked in a cold breath, her body curled up, and a muffled grunt escaped from her mouth; âMmâ¦..â
Gong Mingye raised his head and glanced at her coldly. His hands didnât stop.
âAhhâ¦.â
Gu Wanâanâs upper eyelids twitched in pain. Unable to resist, she let out a cry.
Gong Mingyeâs eyes darkened, and his Adamâs apple bobbed up and down as he asked faintly, âAre you moaning?â
In an instant, Gu Wanâanâs face flushed. Only then did she realize that her voice was strange and dirty.
She coughed lightly and said awkwardly, âI couldnât hold back because of the pain, I tried not to scream.â
Not daring to make another sound, she bit her lower lip tightly.
Disinfect, clean the wound, and apply ointment.
His movements were clean and neat.
After applying the medicine, Gu Wanâan squeezed out a smile. âThank you.â
Gong Mingye didnât appreciate it at all. He didnât even look at her as he spat out expressionlessly, âGo sleep on the sofa.â
ââ¦â
Damn, she never wanted to sleep on the bed in the first place, okay?
Donât flatter yourself!
The lights were switched off, and the room was plunged into darkness.
With a wound on her back, Gu Wanâan did not dare to lie down on her back. She could only lie on her stomach while listening to the manâs steady breathing. She moved around, not feeling sleepy at all.
She went to sleep early last night, so she didnât feel anything.
But at this point, it was the first time she shared a room with a man while she was awake, and it made her a little apprehensive.
