271 Chapter 271 “Accident! Accident!“
!!
GYAA!!!
Chen heart leapt to his throat when he saw the door was opened before he opened it himself.
At this critical moment once again Chen was saved by his amazing reflex to avoid danger. His body somehow reflexively hide behind the door to avoid being seen by Li Shi Ying.
SWOOSH!
This timing was so perfect as it was at the same time when Li Shi Ying came to the room!
If Chen was a bit slower for even a second, maybe Li Shi Ying had already saw him inside her room. Then she would get suspicious and in the end she would knew the truth!!
That would be the worst scenario ever.
Chen was perfectly hidden behind the door but alas...he was still unlucky!
BANG!
The door was opened by Li Shi Ying with quite a force and poor Chen get hit by it.
!!
The door hit Chen nose and he instantly got dizzy. He actually wanted to scream but he quickly covered his mouth with teary eyes.
He can't scream!! If he scream now then his sacrifice (his nose) would be in Vain!
E-endure Chen! As long as Li Shi Ying leave the room he will be free!!
Chen patiently endure his pain for a greater good. He was actually already tired from this hide and seek event. Every minutes his heart would suddenly leapt to his throat.
The shock is too much!
Perhaps because author-sama have tortured Chen long enough, she gave Chen his long awaited wish.
Li Shi Ying only came to get her novel and in the next minute she already went away leaving the room.
....Is she gone?
Chen slowly came out from behind the door and after he was sure Li Shi Ying wasn't near the room, he dashed out as fast as he could to his own room.
After Li Shi Ying had eat, she suggested their group to continue the journey and stopped to take a rest only when it was already dark.
The journey to White Tiger Country was still long and she wanted them to use their time very well. She didn't want to hold back the group just because of her health.
Moreover Li Shi Ying had felt better now. Even her fever had cooled down a lot after Chen secretly washed her body.
So with Li Shi Ying permission, the group set out from the village at 4 pm and planned to stop when it was time to have dinner.
Inside the carriage.
Li Shi Ying sat across Chen seat and when she was dozing off while watching the scenery outside, she suddenly noticed something weird with Chen.
...Chen's nose is red! Wait. Even his cheek and his face are also red! Is he sick?
"Chen what happen to your nose? Also do you feel unwell? Why is your face that red?" Li Shi Ying squinted her eyes when she looked at Chen face.
Chen looked like a steamed crab now.
When Chen heard Li Shi Ying question, he suddenly flinched. He then immediately averted his eyes from Li Shi Ying when he saw her looking at him.
"I-it's nothing miss! I just accidentally tripped and bump my nose" Chen scratched his head as he kept looking at the carriage floor.
"But your face is red...are you sick?" Li Shi Ying could believe Chen reason for having a red nose but what about his face? It was so damn red!
"A-ah? It's alright! It's just hot here" Chen gave a sheepish laugh as he hurriedly turned his head away for the n-th time.
It was still winter and Chen answer was so suspicious.
The reason why Chen was like this...was because he felt self-conscious! Whenever he saw Li Shi Ying he kept recalled that view when he washed her body....it made him embarrased!
At the same time Chen also felt nervous. His hand was bandaged earlier and he covered it with his long sleeves. He couldn't let Li Shi Ying found out about this wound!
Who would know if she somehow connected his wound to the blood trail she saw in her room?
Ukh...gotta be careful!
Li Shi Ying frowned hearing Chen unreasonable answer. It was still winter now so how could Chen felt hot instead? Even though the carriage was warm but it wasn't hot at all!
Chen didn't see her face when he was answering her earlier and he seemed nervous...did he lie?
Maybe....Chen was sick but he didn't want to let her know? Then...is it possible that Chen catched her fever?! I-it could be! She suddenly felt better and now Chen whole face down to his neck was red.
Chen must have caught her fever!
Li Shi Ying moved from her seat out of worry and put her hand on Chen's forehead making Chen flinched unconsciously as he tried to backed down.
"Wait don't mo-" When Li Shi Ying was still standing in front of Chen while having her hand on his forehead, the carriage suddenly shook from the bumpy road making Li Shi Ying lost her balance.
"Ah!" Li Shi Ying body fell on Chen body while Chen was quick to catch her body when she fell but....Chen accidentally touched something forbidden!!
