"Mu Qi, are you crazy? You want Ice Balm for such a small injury?" Diao Guan stared, his eyes wide with disbelief.
"Do you remember there's only this much left in the whole world?" Seeing Mu Qi's serious expression, Diao Guan still couldn't believe that Yun Shunnian had only sustained such a minor injury, and Mu Qi would demand Ice Balm from him.
Seeing Diao Guan's look as if his ancestral grave had been dug up, Yun Shunnian became interested.
"Ah, it hurts so much. I don't think I can survive without the Ice Balm."
Yun Shunnian squatted on the ground, pretending to be in great pain.
"What are you doing, Yun Shunnian? It's just a small injury, do you think..." Does anyone believe this?
Before Diao Guan could finish speaking, he saw Mu Qi bend down and gently blow on Yun Shunnian's wound.
"Hurry up and take it out." Mu Qi shot a glare at Diao Guan.
What does this mean? Are they staging a scam?
What's with this tyrant? Mu Qi couldn't possibly not see through such clumsy acting!
"Ah, it hurts, it hurts so much." Yun Shunnian glanced at Diao Guan and continued to cry out.
Seeing this, Diao Guan rolled his eyes, but then met Mu Qi's phoenix eyes, which emanated a chilling ferocity, and immediately backed down.
Diao Guan reluctantly took out the Ice Balm.
"Here, take it."
Mu Qi took it and carefully applied the balm to Yun Shunnian's wound.
Yun Shunnian was extremely pleased seeing Diao Guan's displeased expression. Hmph, you deserved it for speaking ill of people!
"Be more economical with it," Diao Guan said, his heart aching as he saw Mu Qi generously and thoroughly applying the balm to Yun Shunnian's entire wound.
However, Mu Qi treated Diao Guan like an invisible person and continued to apply the balm several more times in the same manner.
Diao Guan felt as if his heart was bleeding profusely at that moment.
"Alright, give it back to me, Mu Qi." After a long while, Mu Qi finally finished applying the balm to Yun Shunnian. Diao Guan immediately reached out to get the Ice Balm back.
However, Mu Qi completely ignored Diao Guan.
"You're not going to give all of this to Yun Shunnian, are you? Mu Qi!" Diao Guan's eyes were wider than they had ever been.
"You can leave now." Mu Qi carried Yun Shunnian to the sofa and began to usher Diao Guan out.
Diao Guan wanted to say something more, but Mu Qi's next words successfully silenced him.
"Diao Guan, there are plenty of people who want to be my personal doctor." Mu Qi's indifferent voice came through, completely shutting Diao Guan up.
Fine, life goes on!
Diao Guan glared fiercely at the "femme fatale" whom Mu Qi had carried to the sofa.
Yun Shunnian stuck out her tongue at Diao Guan, looking disdainful.
Diao Guan was furious. He glared at Mu Qi, who was still carefully blowing on Yun Shunnian's wound, hating that he couldn't be more decisive, and then turned away fiercely.
Only when Diao Guan's figure gradually disappeared did Yun Shunnian's attention slowly return to Mu Qi.
Looking at Mu Qi kneeling on one knee, still carefully blowing on her wound, Yun Shunnian felt a pang of guilt.
She had gone too far.
"Mu Qi, I'm sorry. It didn't actually hurt that much." Yun Shunnian reached out to help Mu Qi up, but Mu Qi frowned and moved Yun Shunnian's injured hand away.
Mu Qi: "I know."
"You, you knew, why..." did you still cooperate with me?
Mu Qi calmly stood up and sat back beside Yun Shunnian. "As long as you're happy."
Hearing this, Yun Shunnian suddenly straddled Mu Qi, wrapped her arms around his neck, buried her head in his shoulder, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
With their bodies pressed tightly together, Mu Qi's body stiffened.
"Mu Qi, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to lose my temper today."
Mu Qi stroked Yun Shunnian's head. "It's okay even if you did."
"I just wanted to cut some fruit."
"Mmm. You can." Mu Qi, with a slight frown, carried Yun Shunnian into the kitchen.
Yun Shunnian looked at the fruit and knife in front of her, still a little dazed.
Then Mu Qi placed Yun Shunnian's hand on the knife handle, and his large hand covered her small one.
Together, they cut various fruits and arranged them on a plate.
"Are you happy now?" Mu Qi was behind her, his arms around her. Yun Shunnian looked at the perfect fruit platter in front of her and nodded in a daze.
"Then let's go to bed." He kissed Yun Shunnian's head softly and carried the stunned Yun Shunnian back to the master bedroom.
The clear, refreshing scent suddenly vanished. Yun Shunnian woke up as if from a dream, got out of bed, and grabbed Mu Qi's hand.
"Mu Qi, where are you going?"
"The study."
Mu Qi turned, gently brushed a strand of hair behind Yun Shunnian's ear with his right hand, and then imprinted a kiss on her forehead. "Goodnight."
"Ah, okay. Goodnight." Yun Shunnian had never seen Mu Qi like this before and was a little unaccustomed to it.
Yun Shunnian before him was so obedient.
For Mu Qi, his heart was filled with joy after finally achieving his wish.
However, he also feared that it was a fleeting dream, easily shattered.
Therefore, Mu Qi was reluctant to leave, yet he dared not overstep, for fear that Yun Shunnian would become the Yun Shunnian who despised him so much again.
"Then, you should get some rest early." Yun Shunnian still liked Mu Qi like this, but she was a little nervous.
"Mmm." Mu Qi lowered his hand from her head and forced himself to turn away.
Mu Qi would probably return to the master bedroom tonight, Yun Shunnian thought as she tossed and turned in bed, wrapping herself up like a silkworm.
Yun Shunnian thought so, counting stars nervously, but instead of waiting for Mu Qi, she fell asleep.
Time flew by. Yun Shunnian woke up in the morning, looked at the empty space beside her, and touched the cold, stiff temperature, feeling a momentary sense of loss.
...
"Mu Qi, did you sleep well yesterday?" Yun Shunnian asked, glancing nonchalantly at Mu Qi while eating the bread in her hand.
Mu Qi answered truthfully, "Alright." Yun Shunnian was finally with him. Mu Qi had a rare pleasant dream last night, and naturally, the dream was filled with Yun Shunnian.
Yun Shunnian: "..." So you couldn't sleep well with me? How outrageous!
Mu Qi, unaware of Yun Shunnian's thoughts, picked up the bread in front of her and silently began to spread sauce on it for her.
Yun Shunnian's mind was in a whirlwind of thoughts, and she was still sulking even after finishing breakfast.
"Young Master, the car is ready."
Seeing Mu Qi's hand repeatedly adjusting his tie, but his gaze fixed on Yun Shunnian, Shan Gong couldn't help but remind him.
Mu Qi ignored Shan Gong and walked towards Yun Shunnian instead.
Yun Shunnian was still lost in her own thoughts and didn't notice Mu Qi's approach.
Suddenly, a coolness touched her forehead. Yun Shunnian instinctively flinched back, only then seeing Mu Qi before her.
Mu Qi's expression gradually turned somber. "What, have you changed your mind?" Yun Shunnian's movement reminded him of the Yun Shunnian who had always wanted to stay away from him.
"Huh? Changed my mind about what?" Yun Shunnian didn't understand Mu Qi's meaning and dazedly leaned forward, trying to hear him clearly. Su Dan Novel Network.
Seeing this, Mu Qi's expression softened slightly. He cautiously approached Yun Shunnian and gently kissed her forehead.
Yun Shunnian quietly felt the cool, soft touch on her forehead.
After a long while, Mu Qi finally let go of Yun Shunnian.
"I'm going to the company," Mu Qi said, then turned and left.
The blush that rose on Yun Shunnian's face lingered for a long time.
Shan Gong watched Mu Qi stride away briskly and silently grumbled inwardly.
He only kissed Yun Shunnian once, did he need to flee in such a hurry?
