When Jiang Sinian woke up, the young boy was lying beside him, looking slightly more obedient than usual. His disheveled hair revealed a touch of fragility and vulnerability.
The boy was like a blooming rose, dazzling and captivating.
Jiang Sinian looked deeply at the young boy before him.
However, as he reached out his hand, the boy’s eyelashes
trembled slightly.
Clearly, the young boy was about to wake up.
Observing this, Jiang Sinian narrowed his eyes, withdrew his
hand, and turned to lie on his side.
Perhaps feeling some pain, the exquisitely beautiful features
of the young boy’s face slightly wrinkled as he slowly opened his eyes, still
carrying a hint of confusion.
“You’re awake? Did you have a nightmare?” a hoarse voice
sounded near Ruan Qing’s ear.
The young boy seemed a bit disoriented and looked towards the
voice.
Upon seeing the naked man on the bed, Ruan Qing’s eyes
widened in shock. Ignoring the slight pain in his chest, he became filled with
panic and unease. He quickly sat up and moved backward.
However, he was lying inside the bed, and the wall was behind
him. There was simply no way to retreat. He could only press himself against
the wall and cautiously watch the person on the bed, as if Jiang Sinian were
some kind of ferocious beast.
Jiang Sinian raised an eyebrow at this sight. “I saved you,
at least. Your reaction really hurts my feelings.”
“Saved... saved me?” The young boy was stunned, not
understanding the meaning behind Jiang Sinian’s words.
Jiang Sinian propped himself up against the wall, looking at
the young boy, and slowly explained, “I happened to pass by the Xingyue Hotel
earlier and saw someone suspiciously carrying a person. I intervened and saved
them, only to find out it was you.”
“To save you, I even got stabbed by that villain.” Jiang
Sinian pointed to the fatal wound on his waist. Perhaps due to the pain, he
furrowed his brow and let out a soft grunt. “I never expected that some people
don’t appreciate kindness.”
Xingyue Hotel was the previous five-star hotel where Wen Li
had brought him for lunch.
As Jiang Sinian spoke, the young boy seemed to remember the
incident of being kidnapped earlier, and his gaze shifted to Jiang Sinian.
Jiang Sinian had his upper body bare, with thick gauze
wrapped around his waist. Despite this, blood still seeped out, staining a
large area.
It looked horrifying.
The young boy finally realized his mistake, and his face
flushed with embarrassment. He quickly apologized in a low voice, “Yes, I’m
sorry. I didn’t mean to.”
After apologizing, Ruan Qing immediately bowed deeply,
expressing deep gratitude. He said sincerely, “Mr. Jiang, thank you for saving
me.”
The young boy’s clothes were missing two buttons, so when he
bowed, there was a slight sense of exposure.
Perhaps Jiang Sinian’s gaze was too intense, and the young
boy also became aware of his disheveled clothes. He immediately reached out and
straightened them.
Jiang Sinian withdrew his gaze and looked at the young boy’s
delicate face. He spoke confidently, “I got injured because I saved you. It
wouldn’t be too much to ask for you to take care of me during this time.”
“After all, if it weren’t for saving you, I wouldn’t have
gotten injured.”
Ruan Qing shook his head slightly upon hearing this. “No,
it’s not too much.”
Jiang Sinian showed no politeness whatsoever and raised his
chin, pointing to the medical box on the nearby table. “Then help me change the
bandage now.”
Ruan Qing hesitated for a moment, but ultimately crawled off
the bed, bypassing Jiang Sinian, and picked up the medical box from the table.
The medical box wasn’t originally owned by the original owner
of the body; it was likely brought in by Jiang Sinian when he entered with the
young boy.
The gauze around Jiang Sinian’s waist was already soaked with
blood, indicating the severity of the bleeding.
Jiang Sinian shifted inside the bed, making some space for
the young boy. It was obvious that he wanted the young boy to get on the bed.
Ruan Qing looked at the person on the bed, hesitated for a
moment, and finally got onto the bed, kneeling by the bedside. He then
carefully started to untie the gauze around Jiang Sinian’s waist.
His movements were gentle, fearing that he might cause pain
to Jiang Sinian.
However, Jiang Sinian’s injury was too severe, and due to
continuous bleeding, the gauze and the wound had stuck together. No matter how
gently he tried, it was impossible to avoid discomfort.
The gauze was completely unraveled, revealing a hideous
wound. The wound was life-threatening, as if it had been stabbed and viciously
torn apart. Surviving such an injury was almost a miracle.
Although the wound was not on Ruan Qing’s body, just looking
at it made Ruan Qing feel pain. Tears welled up in his eyes as he pitifully
looked at Jiang Sinian, his voice soft, “Does it hurt... Does it hurt?”
Originally, Jiang Sinian’s gaze was fixed on the young boy in
front of him, expressionless and unreadable.
But as soon as the boy spoke, he immediately wore a pained
expression, even letting out a muffled groan of pain. “Mmm... It hurts a lot.”
The boy pursed his lips, and his movements became even
gentler. “Then I’ll be even more careful.”
Jiang Sinian stared at the boy’s trembling eyelashes and
reddened corners of his eyes, and without hesitation, he ordered, “Being more
careful won’t help. Help me blow on it.”
Ruan Qing seemed somewhat hesitant and didn’t immediately
help Jiang Sinian blow on the wound.
Jiang Sinian curled up his lips and spoke with a hint of
sarcasm, “What? I’ve suffered such a serious injury for you, and you’re not
even willing to help me blow on it?”
“It’s not...” The boy shrank back, shaking his head with a
pitiful expression.
“Then help me blow on it,” Jiang Sinian asserted firmly,
commanding without giving the boy any room to object.
The boy’s eyelashes trembled again, and after opening his
mouth, he hesitated for a moment. Unable to voice his objections, he finally
leaned closer to Jiang Sinian’s wound and gently blew on it.
Perhaps the boy wasn’t close enough, as Jiang Sinian didn’t
feel anything from the blowing. Impatiently, he spoke again, “Closer.”
In response to his words, the boy hesitated and moved a
little closer. The strong smell of blood almost overwhelmed him, and the boy
pursed his lips, awkwardly blowing on the wound once more.
The boy’s scent was incredibly pleasant, like a rare orchid
in the depths of a dark forest, clean and pure, captivating.
Moreover, the boy’s gentle breath sprayed onto his waist.
Even though it caused pain, it couldn’t cover the sense of itchiness. Jiang
Sinian’s eyes grew deeper.
But he calmly voiced his request once more. “Even closer.”
