"Mingi, it’s getting late, why aren’t you up yet? Are you not going to work today?" It’s Su Yiru’s voice.
Ye Mingi shivered all over, her face turning pale from fright.
Glancing at Yu Xiuzhun, who was right in front of her, she didn’t know how to respond.
"My hand hurts a bit. If no one helps treat it, I might accidentally make noise..." Yu Xiuzhun said, opening his mouth.
"I’ll take care of it; I have antiseptic in my room!" Ye Mingi shouted in panic.
Just as she was about to ask Su Yiru to leave, she heard the housekeeper’s voice outside the door.
Probably telling Su Yiru that Qin Youxuan would be coming over soon, so Ye Mingi had to stay ho, or sothing along those lines.
Su Yiru listened for a while, then said Mingi should get up, received Ye Mingi’s response, and left.
Ye Mingi collapsed by the door, holding the doorknob with both hands, her face utterly bloodless from fear.
"Scared so easily, like a rabbit?"
Yu Xiuzhun walked up to her, looking down in enjoynt at her terrified expression, raising her chin with a long finger.
"Su Yiru probably hasn’t gone far yet. My hand can’t wait. Don’t act dead; hurry up."
"..."
Ye Mingi glared at him fiercely but eventually got up from the floor.
She rummaged through the dicine chest in the room and found so antiseptic to treat Yu Xiuzhun’s palm wound.
After disinfecting it, she wrapped a thin layer of gauze.
"I haven’t specifically trained as a caregiver; my technique is not professional. Your wound seems quite serious; you should probably get a tetanus shot at a hospital."
"Worried about ?" Yu Xiuzhun raised an eyebrow.
"I’m worried you’ll bla if you die," Ye Mingi cut the gauze, put away the scissors, and shot him a cold glance. "The wound is treated; when are you leaving?"
"I’m still a bit tired; I want to sleep before leaving. After all, you were not obedient last night, exhausted quite a bit, over-exerting; I need to recuperate well."
Saying that, Yu Xiuzhun walked towards her bed, laid down, and folded his arms behind his head, closing his eyes to rest.
While he could sleep, Ye Mingi couldn’t sit still.
She followed him closely, standing by the bed, almost ready to yell, "Yu Xiuzhun, you can’t go back on your word; if Qin Youxuan sees you, she won’t let you off, and if it alerts my mom, I won’t let you off either!"
"Am I afraid of two won?" Yu Xiuzhun slowly opened his eyes, giving her a glance as if he had heard a funny joke.
"Don’t forget, if my mom finds out, I won’t have any more scruples. If you push too far, I’ll go down with you!" Ye Mingi furiously clenched her fists, wishing she could punch his smug face.
"..."
When Yu Xiuzhun heard her words, he opened his eyes leisurely.
After pondering for a while, he actually sat up.
Reaching for the clothes beside him, he slowly put them on.
"Help button up."
Yu Xiuzhun stopped after putting on the shirt, waiting for Ye Mingi to serve him.
Ye Mingi was quite a bit shorter than him, appearing petite as she stood before him.
She stretched out her hands, carefully buttoning his shirt; he lowered his head, just able to see the top of hers.
Her smooth long hair fell to her ear.
His gaze softened, and he instinctively reached out, tucking her hair behind her ear.
Ye Mingi, whether in a hurry to button up or not, gave no response to his gesture.
