Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 330 Does it hurt?

Lin Qingping's first reaction was to cover up and resist.

"Let me see! Look at this! Am I such a beast?" He grabbed her hand, looked at her injuries, then frowned, his tone filled with helplessness, "Lin Qingping, I really don't know what to say to you. Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt if I don't move." She told the truth, lying there like that, without any friction, it didn't hurt.

"Still being stubborn." His brows furrowed even more.

Her skin was very fair, and it shone brightly under the lights. He knew her when she was flawless, but now it was rubbed raw, with large patches of skin torn off on both sides, revealing the flesh. It was a shocking sight.

She treated it herself, but the gauze rubbed off, and the medicine applied to it made the wound look even more gruesome. Most importantly, because the gauze moved, the adhesive tape stuck to the wound...

How can it not hurt?!

In addition, the entire inner thigh is faintly bluish, and by tomorrow it will definitely turn purple!

"Lie still!" he commanded, then turned and left.

Lin Qingping leaned against the soft blanket, so she didn't feel any pain.

But lying like this doesn't look good. What if Zhong Xiaoxiao comes back and the child barges in? How embarrassing would that be?

She thought she should sit up and cover herself with something.

She wanted to get the blanket at the foot of the bed, so she propped herself up with her hands and reached out to grab it. However, just as she stretched out her hand, the door opened, and Gu Juncheng returned, carrying a large pile of things.

The first thing I noticed when I walked in was that she wasn't lying down properly!

"Lin Qingping!" He put down what he was holding, helped her lie back down by the shoulder, "You're injured and you still won't behave. When are you going to behave yourself? Look at yourself, look at how badly you're injured!"

Lin Qingping really thought he was exaggerating.

Yes, she was indeed injured today, and it really hurt, but this injury is nothing to them, right? Not to mention others, even he himself, every time he was injured, he had barely escaped death.

So, is it really necessary to be so exaggerated?

He gently peeled away her loosened gauze, asking her with each small step, "Does it hurt?"

It must hurt!

But she kept quiet about it.

He asked her almost ten times before she finally couldn't take it anymore and huffed, "Can't you hurry up? It's better to get it over with quickly!"

It's torture to uncover things bit by bit like this!

Gu Juncheng: ...

With a forceful tug, the gauze and tape were ripped off together, causing Lin Qingping to wince in pain. Unable to bear it any longer, she didn't utter a sound, but tears welled up in her eyes.

"It's alright, it's alright, it won't hurt anymore soon." He gently blew on her wound, and for once, his voice was not loud as he shouted slogans, but very gentle.

Seeing that the expression on her face had finally calmed down, I knew she had stopped being so fierce. "I'm going to start treating it now. It might hurt a little, just bear with it."

"Still need treatment? Let's leave it like this, I don't want to do it anymore..." She pointed to her injury, "Isn't there medicine here?"

"It's all stained! Here, and here, the tape has torn quite a bit again, we have to redo it." He first rubbed some kind of medicated oil on his hands. "You're really capable, Lin Qingping. An independent woman, huh? Women can hold up half the sky, but you've held up the whole sky! You didn't even tell me you were injured like this, you're really something!"

He said "You're really something" and then started rubbing her thigh, without touching her wound.

While massaging, he tried to rub the medicated oil in, but he pressed a little too hard, and Lin Qingping cried out again, "It hurts, it hurts so much! Stop massaging, Gu Juncheng, stop massaging..."

Gu Juncheng ignored her completely and continued to rub her.

Gradually, Lin Qingping felt her legs getting warm, probably because they were numb. The pain wasn't as noticeable anymore, but her nose, eye sockets, and the corners of her eyes were red from the pain, and her eyes were brimming with tears.

"Now you know it hurts, how come you were riding a horse this afternoon..." Gu Juncheng was originally going to scold her, but when he looked up and saw her pitiful appearance, he shut his mouth and continued to get the medicine and gauze.

First, they cleaned and disinfected the broken skin. The medicine irritated the wound, and Lin Qingping was in so much pain that she pinched Gu Juncheng's arm.

"Did you do this on purpose?" Lin Qingping felt that this hurt much more than when she treated it herself!

Gu Juncheng ignored her and let her pinch him. This time, he was very quick and cleaned her wound in no time. Then he applied medicine, wrapped the wound with gauze, and wrapped her leg with medical tape several times to secure it.

"Alright, now the gauze won't move around." He bent down, lifted her head, took the blanket she was using as a pillow, unfolded it, and covered her legs with it. Then he helped her lie down. "Now look, does it still hurt?"

Lin Qingping's face was contorted in pain before, but she was indeed feeling better now, though the tear stains were still visible at the corners of her eyes.

She didn't say anything, only feeling her head sink into the soft pillow, which was very comfortable.

Gu Juncheng then instructed her, "It's hot, so you can't keep this gauze wrapped around your wound all the time. Otherwise, it won't breathe and could get infected. Take it off when it's almost done and rest at home to let the wound breathe. Don't keep the gauze wrapped around your wound all the time just to go out and travel."

She pulled the blanket up a little, lowered her eyes, and didn't say a word.

"Are you angry? Did I hurt you?" He wiped the faint wetness from the corner of her eye with his finger. "I didn't mean to hurt you. Your wound needs to be disinfected! Did you remember what I said?"

Just as Lin Qingping was about to pull the blanket over her head to cover her face, he pulled it off for her. "It's so hot today, aren't you hot?"

He pressed down on the blanket. "I'm leaving tomorrow morning. You need to remember what I said: don't cover up the wound. Rest at home as much as possible. Don't go out until it's healed, so you don't scrape it again..."
