Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Reduce Swelling

Xiang Juan was like a child who had done something wrong, obedient as a little kitten at this moment.

But the fiery pain on the back of her hand made her frown deeply, and her face showed a painful expression.

However, what Lin Xi admired was that she managed to endure it without crying out again.

"Give me your hand." Lin Xi said without allowing any objection, his other hand had already taken out a homemade ointment from the Jade Pendant Space.

Looking at the hand Xiang Juan stretched out, Lin Xi noticed that the scalded area on the back of the hand had already swelled up.

"I’m sorry, I’m sorry, let me pour you another cup." Xiang Juan glanced at the teacup on the floor and felt very apologetic, about to get up and say, "But before that, I need to get some ointment from Grandpa to reduce the swelling first. I wonder if it will leave a scar?"

"Don’t talk!" Lin Xi slightly pressed down to stop her from getting up.

Shaking the ointment in his hand, Lin Xi explained, "I have medicine here, you don’t need to get any."

"And once applied, it won’t blister or leave a scar; it will immediately reduce swelling and pain."

"To put it simply, it has the miraculous effect of ’instant recovery.’"

"Really?" Xiang Juan was somewhat incredulous, mostly skeptical.

Lin Xi didn’t waste any more words, using his left index finger to scoop out a pea-sized amount of the green ointment from the bottle, applying it to the scalded back of Xiang Juan’s hand under her gaze.

"Just that little?" Xiang Juan commented, unable to help herself as she saw the ointment on Lin Xi’s finger, "You’re being stingy."

It’s worth noting that although the scalded area on her hand isn’t large, this pea-sized ointment seemed insufficient, and it really hurt.

"You’ll know in a moment."

Lin Xi’s index finger lightly touched Xiang Juan’s hand, causing her to let out a soft cry, indicating the burn was quite serious.

A few swipes back and forth, the pea-sized ointment quickly disappeared, and the back of Xiang Juan’s hand showed no trace of the ointment. Then Lin Xi said, "Done."

"So fast?" Xiang Juan felt entirely unsure if it worked.

"With such a minor injury, how long do you think it would take?" The ointment in Lin Xi’s hand was already returned to the Jade Pendant Space, he couldn’t help but say.

"Minor injury?"

"It’s not you who feels the pain, how do you know it’s a minor injury? This was scalding water!"

"But is it really healed just like that?" Xiang Juan felt incredulous, it seemed too casual, she thought it’d be better to get some medicine from Grandpa.

This person is unreliable.

"Hmm?"

Just as Xiang Juan was about to stand up again, she immediately noticed something was wrong; the spot on her right hand that had just been painful suddenly felt numb too?

She lifted her hand to look, and Xiang Juan was instantly stunned.

The back of the hand which had been red and swollen from the scald was now, aside from a trace of residual redness, no different from before being scalded.

She cautiously poked it, huh, no pain, there’s feeling!

This indicated, the hand was healed!

Simply incredible!

This had only been a few seconds!

Before, when she got scalded, even with Grandpa’s specially brewed ointment, it would take several days to heal, during which time pain, blistering, and scarring were unavoidable.

Now, she was truly shocked, describing it as a miracle was not an exaggeration.

"Am I dreaming?" Xiang Juan couldn’t help but say, turning her head to see Lin Xi was staring at her with a seemingly thoughtful expression, she couldn’t help but ask, "What are you thinking about?"

"You’re too skinny." Lin Xi said sincerely, dismissively adding, "It’s not good!"

Xiang Juan’s face turned crimson, just about to scold Lin Xi for being a hooligan when she heard him say, "Actually, I have a way to make it better here."

Upon hearing this, her anticipation immediately replaced her anger.

Because from childhood to now, her chest seemed malnourished, no matter how much she ate, exercised, or supplemented, it remained undeveloped and unrounded.

Which girl doesn’t love beauty? Which girl doesn’t want a better figure?

Therefore, she cared very much about this.

After all, aside from this spot, the rest of her body looked very coordinated.

And since Lin Xi had just healed her burn so miraculously, her anticipation immediately surged.

Lin Xi looked at Xiang Juan for a long time without responding, but her facial expression already showed her thoughts, so he said, "Physical therapy."

"Massage?" Xiang Juan’s face turned red, she said softly, "I’ve massaged it before, but it didn’t help."

"And isn’t it said that massage will, you know, but it’s all fake...."

"Doing it yourself definitely won’t work!" Lin Xi explained.

"So I need someone else?" Xiang Juan didn’t understand.

"You definitely can’t find someone else." Lin Xi shook his head, seriously suggesting, "This has to be done by your husband."

"???" Xiang Juan.

"So, I’ll have to reluctantly do it!" Lin Xi sighed long and appeared unwilling, "It’s actually hard work, you need to thank me!"

"???" Xiang Juan’s face turned red, she said angrily, "I don’t want that, also, I’m not even your wife yet!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

A series of coughs came from the yard, startling Xiang Juan, who stood up to look.

"Grandpa, why are you coughing so much today?" Seeing it was Grandpa, Xiang Juan asked puzzledly, "Could you be catching a cold?"

"Not a cold, what were you two doing?" Elder Xiang asked without thinking, instantly cursing himself for his foolishness, how could he directly ask such a thing.

"Lin Xi was applying medicine for me,...," Xiang Juan recounted what had just happened, then showed her hand to Grandpa.

"...." Elder Xiang was stunned for a while.

At first, he believed it, but seeing no trace of a burn on his granddaughter’s hand, he was momentarily speechless.

Indeed, the two must have known each other before, now they’re conspiring against him!

"A grown girl can’t be kept at home!" Elder Xiang sighed inwardly, the two were already so close, it seemed too late to stop it, "The obedient granddaughter has suddenly turned into someone I can’t recognize?"

"Then go ahead and pour another cup!" Elder Xiang had to say this, continuing, "Little friend Lin, some of the medicinal ingredients on your list, I don’t have them at the moment."

"But I know where to find them, if you’re not busy, I’ll go get them for you now."

"I’m not busy, thank you, Elder Xiang." Lin Xi said.

"Alright, I’ll have you wait at home for me." Elder Xiang nodded, then told Xiang Juan, "Xiaojuan, keep an eye on the shop."

After speaking, Elder Xiang hurriedly left.
