The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler

This wound was very deep, and Xiao Ba was especially careful with it, so her movements couldn't help but be much slower.

When she was finally done applying the medicine, she took a new gauze and began to bandage him.

Her arm went under his arm, looking as if she was hugging half his shoulder.

After much effort, it was finally settled.

Xiao Ba's forehead was already covered in a thin layer of sweat when she breathed a sigh of relief. "Phew—I'm done."

Yan Qing turned to look at her and saw that a few strands of her hair were already drenched in sweat. They stuck to her forehead, and her face was slightly red as her eyes sparkled.

Under the light, she was indescribably beautiful.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice deepened. "Thank you."

When this voice fell into her ears, it inexplicably itched.

They were so close that Xiao Ba could even feel the heat from his body. It was inexplicably hot.

She retreated a little and quickly said, "No need, no need. It's what I should do."

Yan Qing's eyes moved slightly.

Xiao Ba hurriedly explained, "You've helped me before. Take it as returning a favor."

Yan Qing paused and responded. Then, he lowered his eyes slightly, thinking about something. She doesn't want to owe me a favor…

However, Xiao Ba didn't notice his expression. She only thought of the scene that day and subconsciously glanced down. Hmm. Although the light is very dim, one can still see his firm abs… I still remember that it feels good, but it wasn't very real with clothes between them. Now, I can see it clearly. It's so close.

Yan Qing had already gotten up to put on his clothes.

He half-turned around, and she could only see his back and half of his face. But at the same time, it was more specific—specifically, one could see his shoulder blades and the muscle lines on his waist.

But after watching for a while, she realized that Yan Qing seemed to have encountered some trouble.

His entire left shoulder was injured, and he couldn't raise his left arm at all, so this shirt wasn't easy to wear.

"How about I help you put it on?" Before Xiao Ba could react, the words had already been spoken.

As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Qing stopped in his tracks.

Xiao Ba was also stunned, and the corners of her eyes twitched. Why did I say what was on my mind?!

The atmosphere in the room became inexplicably ambiguous and awkward.

Just as Xiao Ba was thinking about how to find an honorable reason for herself, Yan Qing finally spoke. "I'll have to trouble you."

As he spoke, he really handed the clothes over.

Xiao Ba glanced at him and saw that the man looked open and honest. That's true. Since he is injured, he has to have some privileges… Besides, I've already helped him so much. What's wrong with helping him wear another shirt?

She coughed and stood up as well to help him get dressed.

The left side was more troublesome. Her movements were light and careful, but it was inevitable that she touched his body a few times.

The right side was much easier.

Before Xiao Ba put on his clothes, she endured it and took the opportunity to glance at him.

From his Adam's apple to his collarbone, from his chest to his lower abdomen, this man was…

Her movements dawdled, and she took a long time to button his shirt.

There were two voices arguing in her heart.

One was saying that he was already so seriously injured, but she was still thinking about such nonsense. It was too much!

The other said that this was a rare opportunity. Who knew when the next time would be? Her waist had already been shown to him, so what if she looked at him now? Besides, she wanted to see it!

The voice in front instantly dissipated.

Yan Qing looked down at the person in front of him.

She was only at the height of his chest. At this moment, she leaned over slightly and helped him button up, so he could only see her black hair.

Since she was willing to help, he had no reason to refuse. However… her movements seemed to be a little too slow.

Yan Qing originally planned to do it himself, but at this moment, he suddenly felt an itch on his waist. It was her fingers that brushed gently across his waist.

His breath caught in his throat and he swallowed the rest of his words.

After much effort, there was only one button left.

Xiao Ba raised her face slightly and busied herself with his collar.

He could only turn his head slightly.

After a while, Xiao Ba finally heaved a sigh of relief and looked up at him smugly. "Done! How is it? I—"

Yan Qing turned around.

Her voice stopped abruptly.

They were too close.

For a moment, she forgot the distance between the two of them. When she saw that the button was fastened, she subconsciously looked up to take credit.

Hearing the voice, Yan Qing lowered his head, and his lips brushed past her forehead.

In fact, it was so light that she almost thought it was just a feather falling, but it was also very hot. It was like a spark falling, quickly setting her on fire and burning her entire body.

Yan Qing seemed to freeze as well.

The moonlight flowed in, outlining their shadows.

The air around them seemed to have become warm and sticky, difficult to break free from.

Xiao Ba stared ahead in a daze.

At this moment, she naturally couldn't see his face. She was looking at his neck.

In the silent confrontation, she saw Yan Qing's Adam's apple move.

Xiao Ba's face turned red. I have to go. I have to leave. If this continues… I don't know what I will do.

At the thought of this, she finally came back to her senses and took two steps back in panic.

Clang!

The chair behind her fell to the ground with a dull thud.

This sound finally woke Yan Qing up.

He looked at her and frowned slightly before quickly relaxing. He seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes darkened.

Xiao Ba thought to herself, Is he going to say something rude again?

Fortunately, he didn't say anything. He just licked his lips unconsciously.

Xiao Ba heard her heart skip a beat.

Her grip tightened and loosened. In the end, she grabbed the corner of her skirt and dodged his gaze as she stammered, "I-I'll leave first!"

With that, she walked out quickly, her footsteps hurried as if she wanted to hide from something.

But just as she was about to step out of the door, there was a bang—a hand passed over her shoulder and closed the door.

He had appeared behind her at some point and was so close.

She could smell his breathing.

"Wait a minute," Yan Qing said. "I have another question."

He almost covered her entire body. When he spoke, his breath landed behind her ear.

She turned around and pressed her back against the door.

Yan Qing was right in front of her, easily trapping her in this small area with nowhere to escape.

Even though he was injured and could only use a sword with one hand, she knew very well that she was definitely not his match.

She took a deep breath. "Ask what?"

Yan Qing bent down slightly and looked at her at eye level. He stared into her eyes.

She was charming and pure, enchanting, and innocent. Although the lights were dim, he could still see every emotion in her eyes.

He had never realized that he was so close to that answer.

He asked, "Why did you come here tonight?"
