Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

However, the problem was, how could Yun Xi approach Zhou Lin?!

Yun Xi had been observing everyone’s expressions at the scene just now. She naturally did not miss the teasing look that flashed across Zhou Lin’s face. She kept feeling that she had been seen through with just one glance in front of this man.

She recalled that Zhou Mo had gone to chase Yun Lian just now. At that moment, Zhou Lin was not the only person in the guest room. This could be said to be a heaven-sent opportunity!

Yun Xi emboldened herself to walk toward Zhou Lin’s guest room. Deep down, she silently prayed that there would be a way out.

In a few steps, Yun Xi arrived in front of the guest room’s door. It was a summer evening in the village. The weather was always exceptionally hot, so the door was not closed.

Yun Xi vaguely heard some interrupted moans coming from the guest room. Without knocking on the door, she barged into Zhou Lin’s guest room.

Zhou Lin’s calf was exposed on the bed in the guest room. He was biting a small handkerchief in his mouth, trying to endure the intense pain caused by his leg injury. After all, he could not overcome the physical pain, and the moans came from his mouth.

Fine beads of sweat oozed out from Zhou Lin’s forehead. Some of his hair had already become wet, while some of the sweat that had gathered to the size of beans slowly dripped onto his collarbone. This scene was indescribably beautiful. D*mn it. There was actually some temptation of abstinence that made one unable to shift their eyes away.

However, the most important thing now was to treat Zhou Lin’s injuries.

Through repeated practice, Yun Xi was already able to properly use the basic functions of the [Space].

The healing of Zhou Lin’s leg injury was not something that could be done in a short period of time. The most important thing now was to ease the pain of this man.

Yun Xi took out a painkiller pill from the space and gently took the handkerchief from Zhou Lin’s mouth. She directly stuffed the pill into his mouth.

“You don’t have to be afraid. I won’t harm you. This is a painkiller pill.”

Yun Xi saw doubt and disbelief on the man’s face. She thought that this was probably his instinct as a soldier, so she did not mind. Instead, she patiently explained to him what she was doing.

She could not deny that the pill produced by the space was indeed useful. In less than 15 minutes, Zhou Lin’s tightly knitted brows eased up.

As the medicine was taking effect, Zhou Lin’s pain had been alleviated to a certain extent.

One should strike while the iron was hot. Yun Xi took out a pill that could treat the side effects of gunshot wounds, a plaster, and painkillers from the space.

“These are to relieve your pain and treat your leg injury. These are for external application. Use a plaster every two days and stick it on the wound. These are all good for your leg. They have curative effects.”

Zhou Lin looked at the thin and weak girl in front of him. He did not know how she could hide so many medicines in her small body, nor did he know why she carried these medicines with her.

This girl was becoming more and more attractive to him. She seemed very mysterious, which made him want to explore her further. Zhou Lin did not know that the series of abnormal feelings he had towards Yun Xi was actually what scholars deemed as ‘love’.

“Where did you get this medicine?”

Yun Xi had been so anxious to save him just now that she forgot to hide her actions. Now, she could only make up an excuse. Regardless of whether Zhou Lin believed her or not, she had to prevaricate first.

“My grandfather studied Chinese medicine before. When I was young, I was raised in my grandfather’s house for a period of time. I learned it from my grandfather. I usually like to explore such things too. Coincidentally, I have medicines that can cure your leg injury.”

Zhou Lin’s originally dark eyes became even darker. He did not pursue the matter further but kept staring at the thin and weak girl.

She appeared quite different from what Zhou Mo had described her.

In order to cultivate the relationship between Yun Xi and Zhou Mo, Old Master Zhou had once sent Zhou Mo to this village to live for a period of time. However, the one who cultivated the relationship with him was not the Yun family’s eldest daughter but the Yun family’s little hypocritical daughter instead.

After Zhou Mo returned, he tried every possible means to smear Yun Xi, saying that this girl was unfashionable and uninteresting. She had the demeanor of a country bumpkin. He did not know why his grandfather had arranged for him to marry her!

However, the young girl in front of Zhou Lin was obviously full of secrets. She was like a poppy, attracting the gazes of others.

She definitely did not have the superficial appearance that Zhou Mo had described.

Zhou Lin’s eyes deepened.
