Chapter 237: Chapter 236: Only Two Months Left (2)

Shi Che’s dark pupils contracted sharply, and he subconsciously glanced toward Ling Chuxia’s feet. Ling Chuxia’s feet trembled slightly from the pain, and the gauze wrapped around yesterday had already been soaked through with blood, the stains starting to dry and appearing quite startling to the eye.

Shi Che’s hands clenched tightly, and he immediately turned around to grab some medicine, then returned, squatted in front of Ling Chuxia, lifted her foot, and rested it on his knee before beginning to unwrap Ling Chuxia’s bandages.

Ling Chuxia, though in terrible pain, felt uneasy about having Shi Che change her bandages for her. She endured the pain, her voice trembling as she said, "Young Master, I... I can do it myself." Saying this, she reached out to unwrap the gauze on her own.

Due to her panic, she fumbled with the bandages, forcibly tearing at them. However, the gauze had stuck to the wound overnight, and her forceful tug tore at the skin and flesh, causing Ling Chuxia to break into a cold sweat and cry out in pain once more.

Shi Che paused with his hands, a hint of coldness flickering in his eyes. He raised his dark gaze slightly, gave Ling Chuxia a look, and said in an extremely icy tone, "Sit still."

Ling Chuxia was so startled by his words that she shuddered, withdrawing her hands immediately, not daring to move them disorderly again.

Only then did Shi Che reach out to continue unwrapping Ling Chuxia’s gauze. Even though he was being gentle, Ling Chuxia still trembled violently from the pain. However, she forcefully clenched her fists, tightly biting her lower lip, not daring to make another sound, lest she upset Shi Che.

As Shi Che cleaned Chuxia’s wound with medicated liquid, her hands trembled severely. She restrained herself, not even crying out in pain, opting instead to bite her lower lip so hard that it almost bled.

He remembered that Ling Chuxia had not always been like this.

The Ling Chuxia from the past seemed particularly delicate. She herself was not a delicate person, but during that time, perhaps she had been spoiled by him to be overly delicate, to the point that even a small cut on her finger that showed just a trace of blood could make her cry for a long while.

But back then, his heart was filled with sweetness, no matter how delicate she was, he was there to pamper her. He was willing for her to be delicate; he liked her being that way.

But then, everything changed.

No matter how sad, how pained, how wronged she felt, she no longer opened up to him. In front of him, it was always a forced smile, always an indifference masking the pain behind.

She had put on a thick mask, securely hiding herself, no longer willing to let him see her pain.

Shi Che looked up and saw Ling Chuxia with her eyes tightly shut due to the pain. A trace of sorrow surfaced in the depths of his eyes, lingering and impossible to dismiss.

After Shi Che had finished changing Chuxia’s bandages and was tidying up, ready to put away the medicine, his foot hadn’t yet stepped forward when Ling Chuxia suddenly reached out and tugged at his sleeve.

Shi Che’s dark eyes glanced at her.

Ling Chuxia looked up slightly, meeting Shi Che’s dark eyes, those eyes that always seemed oppressive no matter the time or place. She swallowed, then spoke softly, "Your arm is also injured. Let me, let me change your bandages for you."

Hearing Ling Chuxia’s words, Shi Che was taken aback for a moment, not expecting Chuxia to have noticed his injury. But in just an instant, he returned to his expressionless facade and said, "No need."

Chuxia clearly noticed that Shi Che’s wound had also split open. She knew firsthand how painful such a laceration could be, while Shi Che seemed oblivious. What if it got infected if not treated in time? Thinking this, Ling Chuxia did not let go of her grip, instead holding on even tighter.
