Wu Qing knew he had angered her and didn't dare to utter another word.
She, on the other hand, noticed his wounds, which were truly shocking.
Three purple needle - pricks came into her sight. She could clearly see the thick, black congestion hidden beneath the wounds. Even though his body trembled, not a single drop of blood oozed out.
She had to clean his wounds immediately, or they would fester and rot.
After some wiping, the face - towel was soiled by the dirt from the wounds. Liu Yushu blushed as she applied medicine to the wounds. Her fingertips, smeared with the ointment, gently dabbed on the needle - pricks. The needle - pricks were burning hot, like three small volcanoes on the verge of eruption. Every time she pressed a little harder, she would hear a pained groan from above.
Wu Qing was in great pain, not because of the wound but because of the torment of restraint. It would be better for him to get it over with than to be tortured like this.
"Kill me," he couldn't bear it any longer. "It would be better to kill me."
Liu Yushu got up in a fit of anger, threw the medicine jar on the ground forcefully, and shouted at him angrily, "Don't you know how you got hurt?"
She guessed that he might have been injured by Geng Rong. After all, he was infatuated with Geng Rong and often went to the Marquis's Mansion to see that vixen. Otherwise, how could he have been so seriously injured?
Even the most skilled martial artists would protect their vital parts when fighting the enemy. Unless... he offered his vital parts to the enemy on his own initiative.
Thinking of this, Liu Yushu couldn't help feeling jealous. "I'm just applying medicine to your wound, but it seems to annoy you so much. I'm really not as good as Geng Rong at understanding your mind and making you happy." Her tone was extremely sour, like a vinegar jar had been completely overturned.
She felt aggrieved. The images of him and Geng Rong being affectionate emerged in her mind, leaving a bitter taste in her heart.
She was trying to save him, but he was so reluctant. In that case, why should she be nice to him?
Liu Yushu pulled a long face and turned to leave. She stopped at the door, thought for a while, and then turned back.
One of the red candles on the table had gone out, and the light became dim.
"Um..." Wu Qing let out a low groan as she kissed him. It was so light that it was almost imperceptible.
Wu Qing was startled by her sudden change of mood. When had she become so bold? Did she act like this with others too?
"Do you feel better?" she sighed and comforted him.
He was extremely happy and had already forgotten the pain from the wound. He replied in a low voice, "Much better. With you here, all my injuries will heal."
She snorted, "When did you become so glib? Did you learn it from that vixen Geng Rong?" There was a strong taste of jealousy in her words.
"Absolutely not!" he said firmly. "I have nothing to do with Geng Rong. Don't think too much." He could tell that she was jealous. Although he was happy in his heart, he also knew that he had to placate her.
Sometimes she was just like a child. But he liked it when she was jealous and when she acted coquettishly. He liked everything she did!
Liu Yushu pouted and gave him a sidelong glance, demanding, "I don't believe it. How can you prove it?"
She was well aware that she was jealous of Geng Rong.
She wanted him. But only on the premise that he belonged solely to her.
Liu Yushu had been reborn. In her previous life, no one had protected her, and her ending had been miserable. In this life, although she was lucky to be alive again, she still felt very insecure. The title of the direct daughter of the Grand Tutor couldn't provide her with much protection.
But Wu Qing could. He could not only protect her but also obey her every word. As for Wu Chunzhe, he couldn't do that. He couldn't break free from the constraints of his family.
For this sense of security, she would firmly hold Wu Qing's heart in her hand.
"Once my injury heals, I'll go and kill Geng Rong. Since she made you unhappy, she doesn't deserve to live in this world," Wu Qing said honestly.
"Don't..." She didn't really want him to kill anyone. She just wanted him to prove his innocence. Who would have thought that this stupid guy was so naive. Alas, he was really stupid and single - minded. But she just liked his single - mindedness. Only a single - minded person could be whole - heartedly good to her and love her, right?
"I don't believe it. I don't believe a single word you say now," Liu Yushu snorted and acted coquettishly with him.
Wu Qing adjusted his breathing and tried to speak in a calm and steady tone, "Once I recover, I'll prove it to you. I have nothing to do with that girl from the Geng family."
Liu Yushu pursed her lips, "Fine." There was a sudden glint of cunning in her eyes, "Do you like me?" As she said this, her face blushed like a ripe tomato.
This question was so embarrassing for her. Fortunately, his eyes were covered by the silk ribbon. She didn't want him to see her in such a mess.
"No." With this simple word from Wu Qing, Liu Yushu's face immediately turned extremely ugly. She was stunned for a moment and then flew into a rage. She raised her hand and slapped him, "Scoundrel." Her nose twitched, and tears welled up in her eyes.
He was so hateful. If he didn't like her, why had he been so enthusiastic towards her just now? Why had he always accepted her kindness? Why had he always been nice to her?
"I..."
"Shut up. I don't want to hear your sophistry," Liu Yushu interrupted Wu Qing sharply. Tears fell from her beautiful eyes, and there was a hint of resentment in her gaze.
She wanted to take revenge on him. Right now.
