Chapter 228 How Long Can That Pea Prince Endure?
Jun Ce raised an eyebrow at her, "How do you want me to thank you?"
Zhai Rongyu chuckled.
"Can I sleep with my head on your big double-door refrigerator tonight?"
She grabbed the chains binding her and groaned a little aggrievedly, "This thing must be killing me."
"A large double-door refrigerator?"
Jun Ce was somewhat puzzled.
"what is that?"
Zhai Rongyu, somewhat obsequiously, picked up a piece of food for him with her chopsticks, pouting and smiling, "Hehe, it's right here."
She stretched out her hand and gestured twice in front of her chest.
Jun Ce paused, a dark glint flashing in his eyes, but it vanished in an instant.
He picked up his chopsticks and slowly clamped them between Zhai Rongyu's chopsticks, thus restraining her.
"you sure?"
The suppressed voice carried a hint of danger.
Zhai Rongyu met his deep gaze, her back stiffened abruptly, her hand trembled, and her chopsticks clattered onto the table.
Jun Ce raised an eyebrow.
Zhai Rongyu felt a little embarrassed, so she immediately picked up her chopsticks and sat back down in her original seat.
My earlier attempt to tease him completely vanished.
"Hehe... Never mind... This old lady is so kind and compassionate, she does things without expecting anything in return..."
"You don't have to thank me then..."
She lowered her head and shoveled a mouthful of rice into her mouth with a hint of resentment.
I'm really... all talk and no action.
【Zhai Rongyu, Zhai Rongyu, why are you such a coward!】
She took a bite of the chicken leg with resentment.
Jun Ce lowered his head and chuckled silently.
Even if you give her a chance, it won't work.
……
In Longyan Capital, at a medical clinic.
Xue Qingchuan slowly woke up and sat up from the bed. A sudden pain came from his lower abdomen. He looked down, lifted his clothes, and saw the bandaged wound. He was slightly stunned.
what happened to him?
When was I injured...? Why can't I remember anything about it?
Zhai Muling came in carrying gauze and medicine, and was shocked to see that he had already gotten up.
"Qingchuan, don't move!"
"The wound will reopen soon."
She hurried to the bedside, put her things aside, and naturally lifted the hem of Xue Qingchuan's clothes to examine his injuries.
Her delicate eyebrows furrowed.
The gauze is bleeding and needs to be re-bandaged.
Xue Qingchuan was stunned for a moment, then grabbed her hand excitedly, his breath coming in short gasps, "Mu Ling, what... what did you just call me?"
Zhai Muling paused, looked up at him, and realized that she was standing very close to him, with one hand still lifting his clothes.
She blushed slightly and quickly withdrew her hand.
"I……"
Zhai Muling bit her lip.
In a moment of panic, I blurted out his name.
I don't know why this is happening.
The warm touch was gone, and Xue Qingchuan lowered his head somewhat forlornly.
He curled his fingertips, and seeing Zhai Muling's expression, he stopped pressing her and considerately offered her a way out.
How did I get this injury?
Zhai Muling glanced at him, hesitated, and said, "You really don't remember?"
Xue Qingchuan shook his head.
"You have absolutely no recollection of it?"
Xue Qingchuan shook his head again.
Zhai Muling's heart sank.
It seems that, just as Hua Ying said, there is another soul within him.
They just didn't know if that person could hear them talking, or if he would pose a threat to Qingchuan.
It's best not to tell Qingchuan yet.
To prevent him from getting emotional and doing something that might harm himself.
Zhai Muling pondered, "You ran away from the clinic for some reason. When I found you, you were already injured and unconscious."
Zhai Muling felt a little guilty.
So, is what she did not mean by lying?
Xue Qingchuan frowned slightly, but stopped worrying about it.
He glanced at Zhai Muling and suddenly said, "Muling, my injury is a bit painful."
Zhai Muling immediately became nervous and re-examined his injuries.
The bleeding increased.
She said anxiously, "Your wound is quite deep, so please don't move around too much."
"I'll change your dressing right away."
After speaking, she suddenly paused, looking somewhat awkwardly at Xue Qingchuan, "To change the dressing, I need to take off my clothes..."
"Never mind, I'll go find your medicine apprentice."
After saying that, Zhai Muling was about to leave.
Xue Qingchuan quickly reached out and grabbed her, "No need to trouble yourself, you're a doctor too."
He leaned slightly towards her, a few strands of his silver hair falling down. His eyes softened as he said, "I know you have no ulterior motives and won't misunderstand. Don't worry."
Seeing that Zhai Muling was still hesitating, he added:
"If we delay any longer, the wound will become infected."
His tone was somewhat mournful.
Zhai Muling choked and had no choice but to sit down and help him change his dressing.
Xue Qingchuan lowered his eyes to hide his smile.
Zhai Muling untied his shirt sash, revealing his fair skin.
Both of them blushed slightly.
He looked weak, but his physique was much more robust than I had imagined; he was lean but not skinny, with smooth, well-proportioned lines.
Zhai Muling dared not look too closely, and tried to focus her attention on the wound on his abdomen.
"It might hurt a little, just bear with it."
She gently unwrapped the gauze and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Xue Qingchuan didn't cry out in pain. She then picked up the medicine powder beside her and changed his dressing.
When Xue Qingchuan looked down and saw Zhai Muling's serious expression, his calm heart was stirred again.
He remained silent, afraid of ruining the beautiful moment.
After changing the dressing, Zhai Muling took a new roll of gauze and wrapped it around his neck.
He gently opened his arms, letting her wrap the gauze around his waist several times. The two came close and then separated, looking as if they had just embraced.
Xue Qingchuan's gaze was deep.
The greed in my heart gradually grew like wild grass in spring, howling and flourishing.
*
Night falls at Nansang Post Station.
Jun Ce was awakened by a knock on the door.
He opened the door and saw Zhai Rongyu, who was covered in bruises, rolling into his arms with the chains jingling, her face wrinkled like a little bitter gourd.
“Ah Xu…”
“┭┮﹏┭┮”
Jun Ce quickly closed the door.
"What's wrong?" He hugged her and reached out to ruffle her hair.
Zhai Rong wailed, "Is Wu Muyou a tortoise? Why hasn't he come yet? I've been waiting for him so long my eyes are practically black!"
"I think he should stop calling himself Wu Muyou and just change his name to Wu Mugui!"
The Boundless Divine Turtle in the bag kicked her.
Zhai Rongyu was oblivious, still fuming and complaining.
"And this damn thing!" she angrily slammed the chains around Jun Ce's head and body. "They're so uncomfortable! I can't lean on them or lie down! It's so uncomfortable!"
[Once I enter the palace, I'll definitely use this Netherworld Lock to bind Wu Muli up like a pretzel, and then force him to lie down and sleep!]
This thing has absolutely no humanity!
I'd like to see how long that Pea Prince can hold out!
Jun Ce found it both funny and heartbreaking, and quickly picked her up and sat her on the couch.
"Okay, okay, don't be angry."
Following Zhai Rongyu's posture, he put all the chains that were in the way on her onto his own arms.
"Chains hang on me, and you lean against the double-door refrigerator."
He held her close, pressed the girl's head into his chest, and patted her back like he was coaxing a child. "Rong'er, be good, sleep like this."
“When that witch arrives, I will avenge you.”
