"You..."
Watching Chu Ge laugh heartily, Qin Ruojing's lips twitched slightly. She felt both angry and speechless inside, almost having the urge to throw the bottle of Honghua Oil at Chu Ge.
This urge was incredibly strong. Qin Ruojing thought if she opened the bottle and poured all the Honghua Oil over Chu Ge's head, giving him a good wash, and then wash his face with it, wouldn't that be great?
Humph, if she washed Chu Ge's head and face with this stuff, he would definitely remember it for a lifetime, right? Maybe in some way, it could be seen as an effective method to leave a deep impression on him?
However, despite the dilemma, the impulse, and being at a loss for words, this was an idea that Qin Ruojing had come up with after much effort. No matter what, she still had to carry it out.
After all, Qin Ruojing had always been a very obstinate person. Once she decided on something, she rarely changed her mind. In this regard, she was indeed very similar to Chu Ge.
Perhaps one reason she chose Chu Ge was largely due to this reason.
"What's so funny? Sit still and let me have a look."
Standing beside Chu Ge, Qin Ruojing firmly proclaimed, placing the Honghua Oil spray bottle on the sofa, and pressed Chu Ge's face with both hands from either side, examining his head.
In Chu Ge's impression, this seemed to be the first time Qin Ruojing voluntarily acted so affectionately towards him. Although he found it both puzzling and amusing, even though he didn't know what Qin Ruojing was up to, he didn't want to ask too much and decided to wait and see.
"Well? Did you find anything?"
Following Qin Ruojing's instructions, Chu Ge let her play around and then asked with a smile.
"Hmm, your ears and neck are a bit red. Indeed, that person's kick...the Inner Strength has already harmed you!"
Qin Ruojing observed for a while, but truth be told, she couldn't discern anything. However, since Chu Ge asked, she had to continue the pretense.
Although she was completely making things up and even felt her remarks were quite exaggerated, once she started, she could only prepare to go on with this narrative.
Hearing Qin Ruojing almost mention athlete's foot, Chu Ge couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, girl, you almost said athlete's foot, didn't you? Do you have to be so funny? I was fine initially, but hearing you say that, now I feel a bit queasy."
Seeing Chu Ge laughing heartily, Qin Ruojing felt a wave of irritation and grunted in frustration.
"How can you be like this? It's like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, not recognizing good intentions. I meant well to check your injuries, so what nonsense are you spouting?"
Although Qin Ruojing sounded quite severe, Chu Ge knew she must be feeling embarrassed, which just made him find it even more amusing.
"Whoa, it seems like I did run into a master today; winning against him was sheer luck!"
However, to avoid Qin Ruojing losing her temper and switching the Honghua Oil with Daktarin, Chu Ge, while teasing her, didn't further ridicule her slip of the tongue.
Qin Ruojing shot a glare at Chu Ge and huffed, "Lucky you still know that. Next time something like this happens, don't embroil yourself in the mess."
Even though Qin Ruojing's words sounded somewhat annoyed, they conveyed a hint of concern, which made Chu Ge chuckle and nod.
Feeling the atmosphere was pleasant, Qin Ruojing couldn't help but feel secretly delighted, sensing that this was a significant step forward for her. She decided to note down all the details and later consult with Tong Yaqi about how she did and whether there was room for improvement.
Encouraging herself, Qin Ruojing added, "Take off your clothes, let me check elsewhere on your body."
Noticing the enthusiasm in Qin Ruojing's tone, Chu Ge looked up to see Qin Ruojing's eyes sparkling as if she was a wolf spotting a lamb, which made him break into a sweat and feel even more perplexed.
Chu Ge blinked and asked with an awkward smile, "Is this really necessary?"
"Definitely necessary! Didn't you say he almost kicked your chest? Since your ears and neck are red, the rest of your body must be as well. Let me take a look."
Qin Ruojing's tone was still unyielding, especially upon seeing the usually carefree Chu Ge display such a retreating expression, which immediately gave her a sense of accomplishment, making it an increasingly enjoyable matter.
Seeing Qin Ruojing's eyes shine even brighter, even appearing eager, Chu Ge felt thunderstruck and leaned back against the sofa, waving his hand repeatedly, "Wait, wait, what kind of medicine did you take today, ma'am?"
Qin Ruojing's eyes widened, "Get lost, you're the one who took the wrong medicine! Hurry up, or I'll help you take them off!"
Although Qin Ruojing was excited and felt she was doing quite well, she initially felt a bit embarrassed. However, seeing Chu Ge so defensive dispelled most of her embarrassment and heightened her sense of accomplishment.
Chu Ge didn't expect Qin Ruojing to stare back at him, increasing his amusement and confusion, so he couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure you haven't taken the wrong medicine? From how I see it, you seem a bit off today. Could it be that you..."
"Could be what?" Hearing Chu Ge ask this, Qin Ruojing felt slightly guilty, secretly wondering if Chu Ge had figured her out. Her intentions couldn't be that easy to guess, right? She was following Tong Yaqi's strategy! If Chu Ge really figured it out...
Dizzy, is she really that much of a failure?
"Could it be that you were bitten by a dog as a kid, and now, after the incubation period, rabies is acting up?"
Hearing Chu Ge say this, Qin Ruojing's eyelid twitched. She had been worried for a long time, only to realize Chu Ge was deliberately teasing her, which instantly made her a bit angry.
"You're the one who got bitten by a dog when you were a kid! I'm kindly checking your injury, and what kind of nonsense are you spouting? What's wrong with you?"
As she spoke, Qin Ruojing widened her eyes and reached out towards Chu Ge's shirt.
Chu Ge quickly dodged to the side again, "Chairman, I'm really fine, don't do this, calm down, calm down."
Qin Ruojing looked at Chu Ge with amusement and triumph, "You're a grown man, what are you afraid of taking off your shirt for? When you lived at my place, you used to walk around shirtless every day, didn't you? I asked you to wear something and you wouldn't, so why are you acting shy now?"
Chu Ge waved his hand, "No, that's different."
"What's different? I haven't seen before, what are you being so bashful about? Don't run, don't move."
Even though Chu Ge still didn't know what Qin Ruojing was up to, her unusual behavior made him find it quite amusing.
On the surface, he was resisting, but in fact, he was secretly cooperating with a smile, curious to see what tricks Qin Ruojing would pull next.
"Chairman, you, you wouldn't be trying to take advantage of me, would you?"
Falling onto the sofa with Qin Ruojing, Chu Ge asked "trembling with fear."
"You wish! I'm just checking if you're hurt or not."
"Chairman, be gentle, wait, your nails scraped me. Can't I undress myself?"
Seeing Qin Ruojing's determined look, Chu Ge finally said helplessly.
"This would've been much easier from the start, I'm exhausted." Qin Ruojing sighed, raised her hand to gently stroke her forehead, and said slightly out of breath. If Chu Ge hadn't cooperated, she indeed didn't know what to do with him.
Chu Ge straightened up from the sofa, looked inexplicably at Qin Ruojing, and undid a few more buttons on his shirt.
Feigning a look of assessment, Qin Ruojing said proudly, "Look at yourself, that guy did indeed hurt you. Your chest is a bit red."
Chu Ge internally laughed, almost bursting out loud. Yes, his chest was a bit red, but that was simply because Qin Ruojing accidentally scratched him with her nails while helping him with his buttons.
However, since Qin Ruojing took the initiative to apply medication for him, he naturally wouldn't expose it and pretended to be surprised, nodding.
"He really is quite skilled! Chairman, I'm lucky you pointed it out, it seems he really did hurt me!"
"Hmph, you were just fighting with me earlier, now you see the benefit of my help, don't you?"
Chu Ge grinned, "Thanks a lot!"
Qin Ruojing was also in a great mood now, giggling, she picked up the Honghua Oil spray from the side, "Alright, decide if you want to sit or lie down, I'll apply the medicine for you now."
"No need to trouble the Chairman, I can do it myself."
Saying that, Chu Ge took the Honghua Oil, sprayed it on his chest, buttoned up, and shrugged at Qin Ruojing, "Is this okay now?"
Seeing Chu Ge spray the Honghua Oil on himself, Qin Ruojing was stunned for a moment. This... this wasn't how she envisioned it, was it? According to what Tong Yaqi taught her, wasn't she supposed to apply the medication for Chu Ge? But now Chu Ge did it himself, so what should she do?
As Qin Ruojing was wrestling with her thoughts, Chu Ge said again, "Nothing else, right? Nothing else, I'm leaving then?"
"Wait!"
Hearing Chu Ge say he was leaving, Qin Ruojing immediately called to stop him. She had finally found an opportunity to put what she had learned into practice, how could she let Chu Ge leave just like that?
Before Chu Ge could say anything, Qin Ruojing swiftly grabbed the bottle of Honghua Oil and sprayed it on his forehead, "You haven't taken care of the injury on your forehead yet!"
With that, Qin Ruojing began to apply the medication on Chu Ge's forehead.
Watching Qin Ruojing diligently apply the medication for him, Chu Ge couldn't help but remember when he helped Qin Ruojing rub alcohol to reduce fever. Haha, what goes around comes around; it actually felt nice to have his boss helping him.
But while enjoying this, Chu Ge was also pondering in his mind, what on earth was going on with Qin Ruojing today?
