Chapter 233: Chapter 232: Injured (8)

This wound was rather deep because it was on the inside of the arm and not easily noticeable. She had thought only Ling Chuxia was hurt, not realizing Shi Che had also been wounded.

She couldn’t help but speak up softly, "Young Master... you... you’re injured too?"

Shi Che, as if he hadn’t heard her, carried Ling Chuxia straight upstairs. Sister Hua’s eyes were full of worry; his arm was injured, untreated, and yet he was still carrying Young Madam. That was definitely adding injury to injury.

Sister Hua frowned deeply, turned around immediately, and fetched the first aid kit, then chased after them.

Ling Chuxia actually didn’t sleep very soundly, as her foot was in too much pain, constantly agitating her nerves, making it impossible for her to sleep. So when Shi Che laid her on the soft bed, she had already woken up, yet she didn’t open her eyes.

She felt Shi Che take a blanket and gently cover her with it, and she could feel his gaze landing on her face.

This gaze was not the usual sharp and harsh one that made one’s scalp tingle; it had, instead, a gentleness, a mildness to it.

This fleeting sensation made Ling Chuxia feel somewhat amused. She probably was in so much pain that her mind was muddled—Shi Che disliked her so much, how could he possibly look at her with such a gentle gaze?

As Ling Chuxia was inwardly mocking herself, Sister Hua had already arrived with the first aid kit, standing at the door and knocking softly.

Shi Che looked up, Sister Hua stepped in, walked over to Shi Che, her voice deliberately lowered, respectful yet tinged with worry, "Young Master, let me treat your wound."

Even though Sister Hua’s voice was very low, her words still clearly reached Ling Chuxia’s ears, making her freeze in shock.

Shi Che was injured too? Where was he hurt?

Subconsciously, Ling Chuxia opened her eyes slightly, peeking through a slight gap toward Shi Che.

Because Shi Che was standing sideways to her, from her angle, she could see a cut on the inside of his arm. Although it wasn’t bleeding anymore, it was still stained with blood, looking quite terrifying.

Seeing the wound, Ling Chuxia’s eyes suddenly became vacant. Just now, when Shi Che had been holding her, her hands were covered in blood; she had thought it was all her blood, not realizing... Shi Che was injured too. Moreover, his arm was wounded, yet he still carried her all the way.

Earlier, nestled in his arms, due to her unbearable pain, she had probably rubbed against his wound repeatedly, yet he said nothing, not even a word of pain.

Ling Chuxia’s heart felt as if it had been submerged in saltwater, sour and swelling inexplicably.

Shi Che didn’t immediately answer Sister Hua but turned back to look at Ling Chuxia. Startled, Ling Chuxia quickly closed her eyes again, but her long curly eyelashes still trembled unintentionally.

Shi Che, seemingly unaware, bent down slightly and carefully tucked the corner of the blanket for Ling Chuxia, then nodded at Sister Hua and left the bedroom.

Sister Hua also left, the door softly closing behind her, and the bedroom suddenly became quiet.

Ling Chuxia’s eyes slowly opened, blankly staring at the ceiling, confusion slowly rising in her eyes as she began to find Shi Che’s actions towards her very strange.

Just now, she was too focused on her pain to notice anything else, but now, having calmed down, many details began to surface in her mind.
