320 Injured

“Perfect. Time for some alone time.”

Jiang Danhe laughed after saying that. Suddenly, there was a tug on his shoulder. His breathing stopped and he rubbed it quietly.

Xiaoguo was about to tease him when she suddenly saw his actions. She said solemnly, “Take off your clothes!”

Last night, it was dark and she couldn’t see clearly, but she felt that something was amiss in the morning. His face wasn’t rosy at all and he looked like he was seriously ill. Before she could notice anything, the other party had covered it up.

“It’s still a bit early for this, isn’t it?” Jiang Danhe deliberately interrupted.

Seeing that he wasn’t moving, Xiaoguo got up and went to his side to tug at his clothes.

“Xiaoguo, Xiaoguo, listen to me. It’s not good, it’s really not good. It’s ridiculous in broad daylight, Xiaoguo…”

“Shut up!”

Jiang Danhe did not want her to see the state of his back at all, so he was not going to let her get to him so easily. Xiaoguo got so tired that she became out of breath.

However, she was not someone who would give up without a fight. The more he refused to let her look, the more suspicious she became.

The two of them started chasing each other in the house. Jiang Danhe relied on his long legs and arms to get away from Xiaoguo.

“Jiang Danhe!”

Xiaoguo was so tired that she had no strength left. She couldn’t help but cry out. She was worried and angry. There must be something wrong with him that he was stopping her like this.

“Don’t be angry.” Jiang Danhe didn’t feel good when he saw Xiaoguo fuming. He walked over and was about to comfort her when she grabbed his arm and pushed him onto the bed.

“Haha, Jiang Danhe, you can’t hide!” Xiaoguo laughed smugly. Seeing that he was about to struggle, she took the opportunity to sit on him, so that he couldn’t get up.

“Behave yourself!” Xiaoguo grabbed his arm with both hands and twisted it behind his back. However, she was afraid of hurting him, so she could only control him with her imposing manner.

At this point, Jiang Danhe didn’t know whether to move or not. The shyness and panic on his face were obvious. “Xiaoguo, be good and come down. I’ll explain to you slowly.”

“No, why are you so disobedient? Don’t move!”

Seeing that he was still not behaving, Xiaoguo stopped talking to him. She casually combed the loose hair on his forehead and quickly loosened his clothes. Fortunately, the other party was dressed lightly. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to undress him so easily.

Jiang Danhe wanted to struggle again, but it was useless. He could only lie on the bed unwillingly and bury his head under the blanket. Fortunately, there was no one here to witness this. Otherwise, if word got out that he was dressed like this, he would be too ashamed to face anyone.

Xiaoguo pried open his clothes angrily and was stunned for a moment. She looked at his back in disbelief. Half of his back was wrapped in gauze, and there were faint traces of blood on the gauze.

Her heart ached as she stroked his back that was covered in gauze. She asked with a trembling voice, “What’s going on?”

“It’s a small matter. I accidentally bled and got bandaged up…”

Jiang Danhe felt guilty and did not dare to look at her. The tips of his ears betrayed him immediately.

Xiaoguo retracted her gaze and looked at his back again. It was such a big wound. How badly injured was he?

At the thought of this, Xiaoguo sat back down and remained silent.

Jiang Danhe felt the weight leave his back, so he put on his clothes and sat up. “I’m fine. It doesn’t hurt. I recovered a long time ago.”

He was the one who was injured, but he was comforting her instead. Xiaoguo couldn’t help but laugh.

Jiang Danhe smiled and rubbed her chubby face. “How is it? Are you not sad anymore?”

“I’m not sad,” Xiaoguo said in a fit of pique. “You’re not sad even though you’re injured like this. Why should I be sad?”

“I was wrong. I was really wrong.”

Although Jiang Danhe didn’t know what he had done wrong, he still had to admit his mistake. This was a matter of attitude.

Xiaoguo did not continue to ask him why he was wrong. Instead, she changed the topic.

“Tell me honestly, how did you get injured?”

“No…” Jiang Danhe wanted to say more, but when he saw the other party’s unconcealed worry, he felt warmth in his heart. He said simply, “The last time I returned to the capital, I was going to receive Emissary Bodo. However, the other party had ulterior motives and had tricks up his sleeves. There was a small accident along the way and I accidentally scratched myself.”

“Accidental scratch?” Xiaoguo rolled her eyes in her heart, but she knew what he meant. It was not appropriate for her to probe further.

“Shall I change your dressing tonight?”

Xiaoguo remembered that she had a lot of medicine in her bag. She had brought them in case of headaches, fevers, and any other injuries.

“Let’s do it now. My clothes are off anyway.”

Jiang Danhe shamelessly tried to take off his clothes.

Xiaoguo knew that he was teasing her, so she didn’t take it seriously. She gently twisted his arm and snorted in satisfaction when he acted like he was in pain.

Jiang Danhe didn’t stay for long. After all, he had official duties and wasn’t really here for sightseeing.

After he left, Xiaoguo wandered around the house alone. After walking around for a long time, she did not see Xiao Zhu.

The house was only so big and there were only two rooms, but she couldn’t feel the presence of a second person.

“Xiao Zhu? Xiao Zhu?”

Xiaoguo tried to call out twice.

“Yes!”

A crisp and pleasant voice came from above her.

Xiaoguo was shocked, and Xiao Zhu looked at her fearfully. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay…” Xiaoguo felt that her reaction had frightened Xiao Zhu, so she immediately shook her head and comforted her. After the other party looked like she had calmed down, Xiaoguo looked up at where she was. “Why are you up there?”

“This is the attic where I live.”

Xiao Zhu poked her head out and said. Seeing that she seemed very bored, she said hesitantly, “Do you want to come up and sit?”

After saying that, she regretted it. She was such a noble lady. How could she climb up to her small attic?

Xiaoguo’s interest was piqued. “Can I go up?” she asked happily.

“Of course!” Xiao Zhu was overjoyed. It was already a surprise that the other party did not reject her.

Xiaoguo looked around and saw the ladder on the wall. She rolled up her sleeves and got ready.

Xiao Zhu was surprised to see that the other party was very skilled. She was afraid that she would fall. To think that she was not inferior to her at all.

“Madam, you’re amazing!”

Xiao Zhu admired Xiaoguo from the bottom of her heart. She was beautiful and agile.

Xiaoguo came to the attic and clapped her hands. She said coolly, “It’s a piece of cake…”

Xiao Zhu was very impressed by Xiaoguo’s skills. For every little action that Xiaoguo made, Xiao Zhu would make a point to gush over it. It was as if she was viewing her through a filter.

Xiaoguo coughed awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed by the other party’s gaze. She quickly looked around. The attic was very clean. Although the space was not big, there was a bed and table. Although the blanket and bed sheets were a little tattered, they looked clean and tidy. There were a few books scattered on the table, as if their owner had been reading them just now. The most eye-catching thing was the oversized window facing the bed.

Xiaoguo followed her instincts and came to the window.

“Wow…”

The sea breeze blew into the attic through the window. She didn’t expect the sea to be visible from here.

Although it was a little dark now, it did not stop them from admiring the beauty of the sea.

Xiaoguo took a deep breath of the sea air. Instantly, her entire body felt revitalized.

Seeing that she actually liked to look at the sea, Xiao Zhu leaned over happily. “You like to look at the sea too?”

“Yes, yes.”

Hearing her tone, Xiaoguo tilted her head and asked curiously, “Do you enjoy doing that too?”

“I love it. I super super super super love it!”

Xiao Zhu nodded eagerly, expressing her love for the sea.
