Chapter 238: Chapter 240: Really Accidental

Although her body ached, when Li Yifei suddenly barged in, a woman’s shyness made her forget the pain as she yelled at him.

Li Yifei quickly backed out and closed the sliding door, saying, "How are you doing? You’ve lost so much blood."

Lin Qiong shouted, "None of your business, don’t you come in."

"Alright, alright, I won’t come in. And really, you should be more careful when you’re on your period."

"I got cut by glass, not having my period." If a woman made such a scene with her period, it would be embarrassingly bad, Lin Qiong immediately defended herself.

"Sweat, can you manage by yourself?"

"I... can manage," Lin Qiong stubbornly claimed, but when she thought about attending to the wound, it was really awkward, and she wasn’t sure if there were any glass shards inside, which made her feel really conflicted.

"How about I help you, then? If there are any shards of glass left inside, it could be troublesome, and whether you fix it at home or go to the hospital, I’d have to help you out anyway."

"You... you... you better not take advantage of me."

"Okay, okay, I won’t take advantage of you."

"Then close your eyes when you come in."

"Fine, I’ll close my eyes," Li Yifei said, somewhat speechlessly, finding Lin Qiong really troublesome.

"Then... then come in."

Li Yifei actually closed his eyes and groped his way into the bathroom. Lin Qiong, seeing that Li Yifei really had his eyes shut, felt relieved and said, "Then you help me."

"Sister, I’ve got my eyes shut, how am I supposed to help you?" Li Yifei replied irritably.

"Ah... then you shouldn’t look at my... butt, right?"

"What’s the big deal about looking? You don’t have much butt to look at anyway."

"You..." Lin Qiong was immediately infuriated and shouted, "I’ll do it myself, I don’t need your help."

"Alright, alright, I was just kidding. I already saw everything when I came in, another glance won’t hurt. Just think of me as a doctor, alright? Have you ever seen anyone too shy to show themselves to a doctor? How would you get treated then?"

Women are shy, but often all it takes is an excuse. Once she found an excuse, her shyness dissipated. Hearing what Li Yifei said provided Lin Qiong with such an excuse. Most importantly, the burning pain on her buttocks suggested there might be glass shards; if not treated properly, it could become a real problem.

"Fine, open your eyes," she whispered so softly that it seemed not even an ant could hear, a far cry from Lin Qiong’s usual style, showing just how embarrassed she was at that moment.

Only then did Li Yifei open his eyes to see the vivid red beneath Lin Qiong’s buttocks, which was quite shocking. With no heart to joke around with Lin Qiong anymore, he wore a serious expression and said, "Looks like the wound is pretty bad, we need to take care of it right now."

Li Yifei’s attitude eased Lin Qiong’s embarrassment a bit, and she said with some panic, "Is it really that serious?"

"Alright, I’ll carry you to the sofa first, then I’ll treat your wound."

Lin Qiong didn’t object this time, letting Li Yifei pick her up and place her on the sofa to lie face down.

"Don’t move, I haven’t checked the wound properly yet. What are you fidgeting for?" Li Yifei saw Lin Qiong trying to pull up her pants and hastily stopped her.

Lin Qiong immediately buried her head in the sofa out of embarrassment. Her pants were still hooked around her knees; her entire buttocks were exposed in front of Li Yifei. For a woman, this was an utterly shameful position.

Fortunately, Lin Qiong was still a police officer and understood the urgency of the situation. Biting her lip and holding back her embarrassment, she said, "Do you know how to treat this? If not, it might be best to take me to the hospital."

"Absolutely, I can handle a bit of wound care, no problem. Do you have any disinfectant or something at home?" Li Yifei asked right away.

Lin Qiong nodded, "Yes, in the drawer under the TV stand."

"Then good, I’ll treat it." After Li Yifei finished speaking, he turned to find the supplies, and Lin Qiong quickly hoisted her pants a bit. Although her buttocks were still exposed, at least it made her feel somewhat better. Otherwise, she was virtually naked in front of Li Yifei, without a shred of modesty left.

Li Yifei quickly fetched a small medicine box, pulled out some tweezers, tore off some medical cotton, dipped it in medical alcohol, and started wiping the bloodstains on Lin Qiong’s buttocks.

Very soon, Li Yifei had identified two wounds, one quite serious, very deep and still bleeding unabatedly, while the other was shallow, with the blood already having stopped on its own.

Li Yifei didn’t bother with the minor cut, pressed down on Lin Qiong’s waist, and sat down on Lin Qiong’s legs.

"What are you doing?" Lin Qiong instantly cried out in panic.

Li Yifei said in a deep voice, "Don’t move rashly. You’re certainly going to be in pain soon, and I’m afraid you’ll move about, which would make you feel even worse, that’s why I’m holding down your legs."

"Then be gentle, for crying out loud. You’re as heavy as an elephant, almost breaking my legs," Lin Qiong murmured, grabbing a cushion and biting down on it hard.

Li Yifei also inwardly praised Lin Qiong for making the most correct decision at that moment without needing his reminder, and thus he hesitated no further in treating her wound.

That wound would be quite frightening to the average person, but for Li Yifei, it was just a minor skin injury. People like him, when on missions, were bound to get hurt; injuries such as these, in times of life and death, were simply ignored. In his eyes, a true injury was one that affected mobility or life itself; that was what really counted as a wound.

So treating it, Li Yifei was all the more relaxed and proficient, quickly removing the shards of glass from the wound, then sprinkling Yunnan Baiyao on it, which soon completely stopped the bleeding.

Throughout the process, aside from a grunt at the beginning, Lin Qiong remained silent, which impressed Li Yifei with her fortitude. After all, she was just a police officer and a woman at that; the pain must have been quite severe for her.

"Quite impressive, aren’t you? To bear such pain without a sound," Li Yifei said with a chuckle while wiping the blood from around the wound.

But there was still no response from Lin Qiong.

This puzzled Li Yifei. Glancing at her, he immediately felt a rush of bafflement. He had thought this female police officer was extraordinarily tough, but it turned out she had fainted, though he wasn’t sure whether from fright or pain.

Li Yifei almost laughed out loud. This Lin Qiong, despite appearing quite brave normally, was still just a girl and not much tougher than any other girl. It was just her job that made her seem more assertive.

One might think the policewomen in novels are like female tyrannosaurs, but clearly, Lin Qiong was not a tyrannosaur, maybe just a little pony that occasionally got furious.

Li Yifei did not try to wake her, but continued to tend to her wounds, and once he cleaned up all the bloodstains on Lin Qiong’s buttocks, his heart rate accelerated somewhat.

But Li Yifei, with his strong self-control, took a couple of deep breaths, shook his head, ran to Lin Qiong’s bedroom, fetched a towel blanket, and covered that tempting buttocks, finally restraining his urge to make a mistake.

Only then did Li Yifei splash some water on Lin Qiong’s face. Startled by the cold water, she instantly woke up. As soon as she tried to move, Li Yifei pinned down her shoulders and said, "You’d better not move now, even though the wound isn’t too big, since it’s on your buttocks, moving rashly could easily cause it to split open, which would be detrimental to your recovery."

Lin Qiong’s eyes flitted about, her cheeks flushing with color, uncertain whether from embarrassment over fainting or modesty at having her buttocks fully exposed. In a defensive tone, she asked, "Is it all taken care of?"

"All done. Now, your only task is to rest and heal."

"Rest? For how long?" Lin Qiong’s eyes widened.

"I guess it’ll take at least two or three days before you can walk properly," he estimated.

"Good heavens, two or three days... that’s going to delay my plans, isn’t it?"

"So what if it’s delayed? Do you think you’re in any condition to go out? If you do, I guarantee you’re going to walk like a cripple," he assured.

Lin Qiong opened her mouth, then slammed her fist onto the sofa, bitterly saying, "What lousy luck, to be injured at home at this time."

"Heh, it’s a good chance to rest. It’s not a big deal."

"Alright, alright, it’s not like I have a choice anyway," Lin Qiong conceded, not insisting any further. Time spent sharpening the axe will not hinder the cutting of firewood. In her current state, she truly wasn’t fit to go to work, and certainly not fit to investigate the smuggling case either.

"But..." Lin Qiong tilted her head towards Li Yifei, her face reddening again as she said, "I guess I’ll be troubling you to take care of me for the next couple of days."
