Last time, it was a purely innocent situation whereby Xu Weilai merely watched over Zuo An while he slept. But now, he had made the situation sound strangely suggestive with his choice of words.
Xu Weilai choked on his words and coughed a few times.
Zuo An could tell how awkward she was and explained softly, “I’m just joking. The reason I’m not leaving now is that I want to attend to your wound first. Are you sure you don’t need to go to the hospital?”
“No, I’m fine,” Xu Weilai repeatedly declined. “I don’t need to go to the hospital and neither do you need to attend to my wound. I could do it on my own…”
However, Zuo An merely behaved as if he did not hear her and reached out his hands to take over the two heavy shopping bags from her. He then made his way up the steps and entered the apartment block.
The rest of what Xu Weilai wanted to say remained stuck in her throat.
After staring at Zuo An’s silhouette for over ten seconds, she shrugged and decided to let him do as he pleased.
When Xu Weilai opened the door to her apartment, Zuo An strolled in and navigated his way with great familiarity. He first placed the two shopping bags down in the kitchen before he returned to the living room and asked, “Where’s your first aid kit?”
“Under the television cabinet,” Xu Weilai replied casually as she strolled into the house after changing out of her shoes. However, she quickly realised his intentions and before she could insist to get the kit on her own to attend to her wounds, Zuo An had already made his way over to the television cabinet. He then squatted down and took out the first aid kit that was kept below.
Xu Weilai knew that she couldn’t stop him and decided not to waste her energy trying. Instead, she notified, “I’m going to wash my hands.”
By the time she was done washing her hands, Zuo An was already seated on the sofa and had opened up the first aid kit, took out a few bottles of medicine that he needed and arranged them on the coffee table.
Xu Weilai strolled over and sat down before she glanced at the bottles which were all of varying sizes. When she saw how much of a fuss he made, she couldn’t help but smile and remark, “Big Boss, you have never treated your own wounds, have you? This is just a small abrasion and I merely need to apply some Mercurochrome and apply a plaster to it.”
However, Zuo An appeared confused when he heard what she said.
Xu Weilai couldn’t help but shake her head. “He’s indeed a pampered young master. None of the medicine that he had laid out on the table are Mercurochrome,” she mused.
As the first aid kit was placed beside Zuo An, she reached over to him and instructed, “Could you pass me Mercurochrome in the first aid kit?”
When Zuo An heard her instructions, he took out the Mercurochrome but instead of giving it to her, he took a cotton bud and dipped it in the medicine before he reached towards her hand and ordered, “Show me your hand.”
Xu Weilai couldn’t be bothered to argue with him anymore, for she knew that she would merely be wasting a lot of time if she continued to bicker with him over this.
When she raised her injured hand and flashed it to Zuo An, he began to inspect the wound. She had grazed half of her palms and her bruised flesh was in a bloody mess. It seemed terribly painful and was not as trivial as what she had claimed.
Zuo An’s heart inevitably ached for her and he sounded slightly hoarse as he cautioned, “It might hurt a little.”
As he spoke, he gently dabbed the cotton bud that was soaked with medicine on Xu Weilai’s wound.
Seized by a stinging sensation, Xu Weilai frowned and grunted softly before she gritted her teeth and fell silent.
“Does it hurt?”
Xu Weilai shook her head without hesitation. She was obviously in pain, but she merely replied, “It doesn’t hurt.”
Zuo An paused slightly and became even gentler with his action.
In order to divert her attention, Zuo An asked, “How did you get injured?”
Xu Weilai answered truthfully, “Someone was tailing me when I went out this morning. I had a fight with him and he pushed me. I got grazed when I landed on the ground. He managed to get away.”
Zuo An’s expression instantly changed. “You were tailed?” he asked.
“Yeah, it was probably intentional. He wanted to film me but I don’t know what’s there to film. I haven’t offended anyone recently…” Xu Weilai remarked.
