The smiles on the faces of Lord Lu and Lord Xiao instantly froze. They both turned their gazes to Lu Luochen, with four big words written all over their faces - What on earth are you up to!
Wen Sining also looked at him in confusion. Then she saw him raise his hands, which were wrapped like mummies, and said unhurriedly, "Don't you think you should be responsible for my meals first?"
The two lords: "..."
Wen Sining: "..."
Damn it! Why does he look so pitiful!
Wen Sining didn't say a word. She just silently sat down beside Lu Luochen. The two lords, who failed to "snatch" her, could only shoot Lu Luochen a glare.
What could they do? They couldn't just pull her over forcefully.
After Wen Sining sat down, she was about to serve a bowl of soup for Lu Luochen. Just as her hand was about to reach for the pot of soup that Lord Xiao had simmered over a low fire for a whole day, Lord Xiao stopped her.
"Hey, this soup was specially cooked for you. I added a lot of herbs to replenish qi and blood. It's not suitable for Xiao Lu. Since Xiao Lu's hands are injured, he should drink this pig's trotter soup. It's nourishing."
After Lord Xiao finished speaking, Lord Lu chimed in.
"Exactly. Just let this brat drink the pig's trotter soup. It's good for his hands."
The words of the two lords made Wen Sining both amused and helpless. Finally, under the watchful eyes of the lords, she served a big bowl of kelp and pig's trotter soup for Lu Luochen.
Although Lu Luochen said that he wanted Wen Sining to be responsible for his meals, he didn't really let her feed him. Instead, he used the only two fingers that could still move flexibly to hold the spoon and slowly sipped the soup by himself.
Wen Sining, under the supervision of the two lords, finished all the soup in the casserole.
To be honest, it tasted quite good. But she had drunk so much water that she didn't eat much for dinner. As a result, she woke up hungry in the middle of the night.
If it were in the past, she would have endured it. After all, eating in the middle of the night would only make her gain weight. But maybe it was because she had just had a minor surgery. Even though it was a small operation, she just felt extremely hungry. Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and quietly got out of bed and went downstairs to look for something to eat.
However, she didn't expect that as soon as she opened her bedroom door, the door of the next - door guest room opened at the same time.
Across a straight - line distance of no more than three meters, Wen Sining and Lu Luochen locked eyes.
A few seconds later, just as Wen Sining was about to say something to break the awkward silence, Lu Luochen spoke first.
"Are you hungry?"
"No, I was just..." Before she could finish her sentence, her stomach let out a growl. Immediately, Wen Sining blushed. Finally, she simply nodded, giving up all pretense: "Well, a little... What are you going to do?"
Lu Luochen was wearing pajamas. The dark - blue pajamas made the bandages on his hands look even more... Wait a minute. The bandages looked a bit strange.
Wen Sining frowned tightly. She took two steps forward and grabbed Lu Luochen's hand. As soon as she touched it, she clearly felt the moisture on the bandage. At this moment, Wen Sining's expression became serious.
"Why did you get it wet again? Lu Luochen, didn't the doctor tell you that the wound must not get wet? Why do you just turn a deaf ear to the doctor's advice? Do you really not want your hands anymore?"
The angrier she got, if it weren't for the two old people resting at home, she could have scolded him for half an hour.
Lu Luochen smiled helplessly and explained for himself, "I didn't get it wet. I just accidentally knocked over the water cup while drinking water. A little water just spilled on the edge of the bandage."
"Water is extensible. You think it's just a little on the edge of the bandage, but by the time you realize it, the whole bandage will be wet. Come here. I'll change the bandage for you."
Wen Sining had once studied with her doctor grandmother for a while. Although she was not as professional as a real doctor, she still knew how to bandage a wound.
Wen Sining returned to the master bedroom. She took out a first - aid kit from under the wardrobe and then turned around and instructed Lu Luochen to sit on the sofa beside.
This was the first time Lu Luochen had stepped into the master bedroom for such a long time. The original black, white and gray color scheme of the master bedroom had been unconsciously replaced by the more lively and bright orange and blue, just like Wen Sining herself, who always gave people the feeling of being positive, lively and yet steady.
He completely followed Wen Sining's instructions. He sat down when told to sit, stretched out his left hand when told to, and his right hand when commanded. He was very cooperative.
Wen Sining was also very satisfied with his cooperation. The frown on her face unconsciously relaxed as she concentrated on treating his wound.
"Look at your wound. It's all white. This is a typical sign of getting wet. If it's not treated in time, it will cause the wound to become inflamed. Don't touch water for this period. If you have to, wear gloves. In short, the most important thing is that the wound must not get water again. Do you hear..."
After talking for a long time without getting a response from Lu Luochen, Wen Sining looked up unhappily, wanting to see what he was doing and not listening to her. However, as soon as she looked up, she felt something soft brush across her forehead, and then... it pressed against her lips.
Wen Sining: "?"
Two seconds later, Wen Sining: "!"
Looking at Lu Luochen's handsome face that was infinitely magnified, Wen Sining finally realized what was on her lips. She was so frightened that she leaned back and fell onto the soft carpet with a thud.
Seeing this, Lu Luochen was about to help her up. Wen Sining quickly stretched out her hand and said, "Don't help me. I can get up by myself."
Wen Sining quickly got up from the ground. She hugged the first - aid kit and took several steps back in a hurry, her eyes wandering everywhere.
"Your wound has been treated. I've also told you the precautions just now. It's getting late. If there's nothing else, you can go back. I'm going to rest."
She half - pushed him out of the room.
Lu Luochen was also very helpless. He only managed to say "Good night" before watching the door close in front of him.
He touched his nose. Recalling the unexpected kiss just now, a smile that he couldn't suppress appeared on his lips.
He thought that if possible, he really hoped that moment could last a little longer.
...
Thanks to someone, Wen Sining suffered from insomnia that night.
Looking at the faint blue under her eyes in the mirror, Wen Sining sighed helplessly and took out the foundation and concealer to cover them.
Because she needed to recuperate, Wen Sining had no intention of going to the company for the time being. As for Lu Luochen, his hands were injured, so it would be useless for him to go to the company. But even though they didn't go to the company, there were still many documents for them to review and sign.
So after breakfast, the two of them found their own places to handle their respective official business.
Just after Wen Sining finished a video call with Donna, she received a call from Qiao Xi.
As soon as she answered the call, the other side's voice came with a sob:
"Sining, what should I do? I hit someone."
