Chapter 628: Chapter 628: Telling a Story to Li Beijue
Chi Enen had no idea what was going through his mind; she was so busy that she broke into a sweat but finally managed to bandage his wounds one by one, although the outco looked a bit… unsatisfactory.
“Done.”
Li Beijue glanced down at the gauze on his body that resembled an extra layer of clothes, his complexion as dreadful as a rotten tomato, and said irritably with a sidelong glance, “Chi Enen, do you think you’re wrapping a mummy?”
He reached out to tear it off.
Chi Enen quickly stopped him, “I tried to make it look nice, but you have too many wounds on your back. If I don’t wrap it like this, I can’t properly bandage it. Just bear with it for now, you can’t see it once you put on clothes, anyway.”
Li Beijue’s handso face darkened.
...
Of course, it couldn’t be seen with clothes on, but he was shirtless now, in front of her!
What if, in the future, every ti she thought of his body, she rembered it looking like this?
The re thought was unbearable for Li Beijue; he grew impatient and tried to pull at the gauze again, “Then don’t bandage it.”
“No, an uncovered wound can get infected.” Chi Enen firmly prevented him from touching the gauze.
Li Beijue was extrely dissatisfied with his current appearance, his eyes glared fiercely, full of deadly seriousness, “Let it get infected then. I won’t die from it! I know my own body, there’s no need for bandaging!”
Chi Enen was exasperated by his stubbornness, she grabbed the man’s hand, her face flushed with anger as she blurted out a harsh threat, “If you don’t bandage it, I’m not going to bother with you.”
The threat sounded just like sothing a child would say.
But the irritated man about to unravel the gauze suddenly paused, his falcon-like eyes flaring with anger as he glared intensely at her and grunted two words through his thin lips, “You dare!”
If she dared to ignore him, he’d kiss her until she spoke!
Chi Enen knew her threat worked on him, she calmly let go of his hand, “Then don’t take off the gauze.”
Before Li Beijue could respond.
She looked into his eyes again and added, “Li Beijue, I’m worried about you.”
“…”
The fury in the man’s eyes was extinguished by her words like water dousing flas.
His thin lips buzzed slightly as he let go of her, seemingly turning away from her in extre irritation, his face still stiff and dark. However, he didn’t touch the gauze anymore and instead grabbed the storybook he had read to Bae Chi yesterday from the bedside, tossed it to Chi Enen, and lay down on the bed, commanding, “Tell a story, I want to hear your voice.”
The effects of the Flin-125 had worn off and his nerves could once again vividly feel every inch of pain across his body.
He didn’t want to take dication.
Nor could he ‘take’ her.
He could only find other ways to divert his attention.
Listening to Chi Enen read seed like a good thod.
Chi Enen, caught off guard, took the detective story book and upon opening it, imdiately felt embarrassed—it was an English version. She recognized most of the words but couldn’t string them together to tell a complete story.
She closed the book, thought for a mont, stood up, and said, “Wait here for a mont.”
Then she ran out, returning shortly with a new book. She sat back down beside the bed, opened the book, and began to narrate, “Once upon a ti, in a free and comfortable country, there lived a King and a Queen who were very much in love. One day, the Queen gave birth to a beautiful daughter, and the King was overjoyed, bringing the whole country into celebration. It was during this ti that a witch appeared, she saw the beautiful little princess in her swaddling clothes and cast a vicious curse on her…”
