81 Embarrassing
Le Wanâs words made it easy for oneâs imagination to run wild.
Zhai Jingâs hands trembled. He took a deep breath.
âClose your eyes.â
His face was still serious as if he was unmoved, but his red ears betrayed his emotions.
âWhy do I have to close my eyes? I hurt my forehead, not my eyes.â Le Wan laughed in her heart and put on an innocent look.
Having known Le Wan for so long, how could Zhai Jing not know that this little devil was deliberately playing tricks on him? However, he couldnât harden his heart against her. He could only reach out his palm and cover her eyes.
âI canât apply the medicine for you if you keep staring at me like this.â
Under his palm, Le Wanâs eyelashes were like a small fan, sweeping across his palm again and again. It was itchy and numb, but Le Wan continued to add fuel to the fire.
âWhy canât I apply it?â
âLe Wan,â Zhai Jingâs voice lowered. âDo you have to make it so clear?â
When Le Wan heard the suppressed emotions in his voice, she immediately retracted her feelings.
âAlright, you can apply the medicine then. I promise Iâll close my eyes obediently.â
She liked to flirt with people, but when she did it, it had to be just flirting.
Seeing that she had calmed down, Zhai Jing released his hand. However, when he looked down, he realized that the situation was not much better.
In front of him, Le Wan raised her head slightly, revealing her full forehead and the sharp and delicate tip of her nose. Further down was her pink and red mouth. At this moment, she was slightly relaxed, as if she was waiting for him.
The purple wound on her forehead looked terrible, but when it was on her face, coupled with the slight movement of her eyelashes on her tightly closed eyes, it inexplicably revealed a sense of fragility.
Zhai Jing, who didnât pay attention to fashion and makeup, did not know that there was a term called âbattle-worn makeupâ. However, he was easily provoked by Le Wanâs injured face and her posture. His hand itched and he wanted to touch the wound. He thought of using his fingertips to press on it.
Seeing that he did not move, Le Wan wrinkled her nose slightly. âWhy arenât you applying it yet?â
When Zhai Jing snapped out of his daze, he realized what he was thinking about earlier. Looking at Le Wanâs face, which showed that she trusted him completely, he suddenly felt a sense of guilt and shame. He silently took a step back.
He coughed to cover it up and said,
âWait a moment, Iâm dipping the cotton swab in the medicine.â
âHurry up,â Le Wan said. âYou get dizzy if you keep your head up like this for too long.â
Upon hearing her words, Zhai Jing quickly put away all the distracting thoughts in his mind and focused on applying the medicine for her. No one suddenly jumped in this time, and the two no longer had trouble, so it was done very quickly.
Zhai Jing took the opportunity to turn around and put down the medicine. He secretly exhaled. Turning his head again, he saw Le Wanâs hand restlessly touching her forehead. Zhai Jing quickly stopped her.
âIâve just disinfected and applied medicine. Donât touch it with your dirty hands, in case it gets infected.â
Le Wan put down her hand in embarrassment.
âI want to know if my injury is serious.â
Then, he saw her take out her phone from her sweatpants.
Zhai Jing was surprised.
âYou even have your phone in your pocket during P.E. Class. Isnât it inconvenient for you to run and jump?â
âSo, as long as I donât run and jump, itâll be fine, right?â Le Wan said indifferently.
After all, Mingchengâs P.E. Classes were free and focused on the studentâs autonomy, so the teachers wouldnât force the students to complete any tasks.
She turned on the cameraâs selfie mode and aimed it at her face. The first thing she saw was the wound that had been covered with a layer of red and yellow Medicine, which made the bruises even more obvious. Le Wanâs face froze at once. She howled and threw away her phone, then lifted the blanket and buried herself in it.
She had actually flirted with Zhai Jing with such a face just now! What kind of tragedy was this? It was too ugly and too embarrassing! She didnât want to see anyone!
Zhai Jing was startled by her loud howl. When he saw her scurrying into the bed as if she did not want to see anyone, he asked nervously,
âWhatâs wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?â
âIâm fine, you donât need to worry about me!â Le Wan punched the pillow in frustration.
âThen donât bury your head in the blanket. Otherwise, the medicine you just applied will all stick to the pillow and blanket.â Zhai Jing tugged at her blanket gently.
Le Wan noticed his movement and quickly pulled the blanket closer to her. Iâm so ugly. I donât want to see anyone!
