“What’s this?” he asked, his tone slightly heavy as he felt it with his finger.
His eyes turned darker.
“What?” Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled and she also touched the area.
Yin Shaojie’s gaze turned to her little face, and he asked, “Before I arrived, you and him…”
Before he could finish speaking, Mu Xiaoxiao looked up at him. “What are you trying to say? You don’t think I did something with Jun Zeye, do you?”
She let go of him and reached for her cell phone.
She used the selfie function and saw a suggestive red mark on the right side of her neck. It looked like a hickey.
She frowned and rubbed the area with her finger.
“Maybe I got bitten by some bug.” She tried to recall but to no avail. She had been in too much of a panic when she was escaping with Jun Zeye.
Yin Shaojie said in a solemn voice, “It doesn’t look like a bug bite.”
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him with a gloomy expression. “Then how am I supposed to know how I got it? Maybe… I got a cut by the grass during the escape.”
She had been kidding about her and Jun Zeye earlier but from the look of Yin Shaojie, he seemed to have believed it.
Seeing Yin Shaojie’s serious face, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt that she couldn’t read him.
She poked at his arm. “What are you thinking?”
Was he really having suspicions about her and Jun Zeye?
Thinking of how jealous this guy could be, Mu Xiaoxiao thought that it could be possible.
Just as she was going to explain, Yin Shaojie said, “Nothing. Maybe it was really the grass. Sit here. I’ll get the medicine and apply it for you.”
With that said, he got up and went over to the cabinet.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn’t see his expression.
When he came back, it seemed like everything was back to normal.
She looked confused? Did she get the wrong idea? He didn’t doubt her earlier?
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her little head. She thought that she must be overthinking things because she was too tired.
Given Yin Shaojie’s character, if he was jealous he would definitely ask her to explain. He wouldn’t bottle it up.
Yin Shaojie took out the medicine cream. Mu Xiaoxiao stretched out her neck and he helped her to apply the medicine.
It was quiet.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt an odd feeling but she couldn’t put her finger on it.
“Okay, be careful next time. Don’t get yourself hurt. Are there any other injuries? Let me see.” Yin Shaojie put the medicine cream on the table, lowered his head, and rolled up her trousers to check if she was injured elsewhere.
Sure enough, her leg was full of injuries. Apparently, she was cut by sharp grass when she was escaping.
Perhaps this was also what caused the red mark on her neck.
Yin Shaojie knew that Xiaoxiao wouldn’t lie to him.
However, he was suspicious about something.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t notice it when she was just taking a bath earlier. It was only when he was applying the medicine that she felt pain.
Hearing the sound of her flinching at the pain, Yin Shaojie became gentler and quickly applied medicine onto every wound.
“Your hand,” he said.
Mu Xiaoxiao was very cooperative this time as she pushed up her sleeves.
Sure enough, she also had some injuries on her arm and some bruises. It was probably caused when someone grabbed her forcefully.
Yin Shaojie looked up, his jet-black eyes scrutinizing her little face as he said, “Luckily, your face isn’t injured.”
