Chapter 238: Chapter 237 Only Two Months Left (3)

Shi Che swept another glance at her with his dark eyes, his thin lips slightly pursed, and said nothing.

Ling Chuxia’s heart fluttered under Shi Che’s gaze, but she gathered her courage and spoke again, "Maybe... we should change the dressing. Your wound... it’s opened up."

Shi Che seemed impatient, his brow furrowing deeply, as he stared at Ling Chuxia and said, "I said it’s not necessary!" With that, he tried to pull his hand back.

Ling Chuxia didn’t know what came over her. Hearing Shi Che’s impatient words, she should have silently withdrawn her hand, but perhaps out of genuine worry about his wound getting infected, or maybe for some other reason, she did not silently retreat. Instead, she grabbed Shi Che’s hand and forcefully pulled him.

Shi Che had not expected Ling Chuxia to make this move. Caught off guard, she pulled him forcefully onto the bed.

Shi Che was stunned for a second, disbelief flickering through his dark eyes, as he stared blankly at Ling Chuxia. After making that move, she too was stunned, not knowing why she had acted as such. Meanwhile, Shi Che’s deep, dark eyes still rested on her face, causing Ling Chuxia to become nervous, her mind going blank. As she opened her mouth, she blurted out the words Shi Che had just spoken harshly to her, "Sit properly!"

When Ling Chuxia uttered these words, Shi Che was completely dumbfounded, and so was Ling Chuxia.

What was she doing? How could she dare to speak to Shi Che like that? Had she gone mad?

Ling Chuxia pulled her hand back, lowered her eyes, and bit her lower lip hard, mentally preparing herself to withstand Shi Che’s fury. However, as she anxiously waited, Shi Che neither spoke a word nor stormed off slamming the door.

Ling Chuxia couldn’t help but sneak a peek at Shi Che, who was sitting quietly beside her. His handsome face appeared somewhat dazed, the usually deep dark eyes now reflecting a flicker of bewilderment.

Was Shi Che not angry but rather daydreaming?

Ling Chuxia was incredulous, blinking her large eyes, wanting to see more clearly. But in just a second, Shi Che’s gaze returned to its usual profound depth, frightening Ling Chuxia into quickly looking down again.

Was this it,—was he going to explode now?

Ling Chuxia’s heart started to beat uncontrollably fast, her breathing slowed, but what she anticipated was not Shi Che’s anger but rather his arm.

Ling Chuxia’s arm lifted; his voice still carried a hint of firmness, yet he no longer rejected her, "If you want to change it, change it."

Ling Chuxia thought she was surely doomed, but a huge turnaround surprised her completely, leaving her dazed and unable to react.

Shi Che turned his face slightly, his black eyes fixing on her. Seeing her motionless, he gently spoke, "Well, aren’t you going to change it?"

His words sharply pulled Ling Chuxia back to reality, and she nodded vigorously, "Change, change, change!" As she spoke, she already began fumbling for the medicine.

Shi Che’s dark eyes were still on her, but slowly, very slowly, a gentle, tender smile formed on his lips.

-

Since the day of the dressing change, the relationship between Ling Chuxia and Shi Che subtly shifted.

Ling Chuxia couldn’t quite put her finger on the change, but Shi Che’s attitude and temper towards her unexpectedly improved a lot, and he no longer brought up past issues.

Her injured foot gradually healed as if everything were moving in a positive direction, except... Shi Che never touched her again.
