She was only 20 years old. She was in the prime of her life. But in front of Zhuang Hong, in front of this man who used to lie in bed and understand alll her grievances, she could not help but want to be pretentious.

Zhuang Hong frowned. His eyes were serious. “You won’t.”

Cen Shuang’s lazy voice carried a hint of coquettishness. “But I’m in so much pain.”

Zhuang Hong’s heart felt like it was pricked by a thorn. He took the initiative to grab her hand. “You touched your wound in the shower. Why didn’t you change the dressing?” After saying that, Zhuang Hong lifted the blanket that was draped over her body.

Cen Shuang’s muffled voice came from under the blanket. “How can I change it if I can’t reach it?”

However, she could not bring herself to ask a man to apply the medicine for her.

Zhuang Hong was stunned for a moment. He undid her bathrobe and exposed her miserable back. The place where she was injured was stained with water, and it seemed that some parts of her wound were starting to fester.

Zhuang Hong pursed his lips and said, “Did you get drenched in the rain?”

She knew that there was a wound on her back, so why would she shower herself and not dry off properly? Moreover, clean water would not cause infection.

Cen Shuang lay on the bed, burying her head in the pillow. Her face was flushed. One of her hands subconsciously grabbed the corner of his shirt. “I accidentally slipped a little.”

She was no longer wearing her bathrobe. She knew that Zhuang Hong was applying medicine onto her wound. He brought the cotton swab to her wound and she felt a piercing pain.

Zhuang Hong frowned and did not reply. Instead, he carefully cleaned the wound on her back and asked casually, “How did you get this wound?”

For so many days, he had not made the effort to ask about her wound. Cen Shuang thought that he would not care, but he still asked in the end. She did feel mistreated. However, Cen Shuang still said in a low voice

big deal. After all, the more beautiful a woman is, the more intense the jealousy will be. I understand. However, I’m not the kind of woman who can take that sitting down. I beat up the people who tried to hurt me.”

“Someone was jealous of my beauty, so they wanted to vent their anger. However, it’s not a

‘When she spoke of this, it was as if the pain she was feeling a moment ago had disappeared, and her small face was burning brightly.

Zhuang Hong’s lips twitched helplessly. He really did not expect her to be so thick-skinned. She was truly quite impressive. After saying that she had been hurt because she was pretty, she still showed understanding. Zhuang Hong felt that there was a generation gap between him and her. It was just a

difference of ten years. Could there be such a change in mindset?

Cen Shuang’s low voice sounded, “Zhuang Hong, it hurts.”

Zhuang Hong regained his focus and stopped what he was doing. He took out two anti-inflammatory pills and said, “Take the pills. Let Boyan come over tomorrow to take a look at you.”

The young woman lying in bed was very obedient. She opened her mouth and swallowed the pills that Zhuang Hong had given her. Then, she obediently lay under the blanket. She was clearly not in her right mind due to the fever. Even so, she did not forget to mutter, “Zhuang Hong, thank you. You are

really a good person.”

In the past, everyone respected and feared him. This was the first time someone had praised him like this. “Rest well. You’ll recover tomorrow.”

Zhuang Hong’s gaze swept over Cen Shuang’s back. He frowned slightly and carefully covered her with the blanket.

Cen Shuang obediently said, “Okay.”

The light in the room was warm and orange. Zhuang Hong tilted his head to look at the curled up figure beside him. His black eyes gradually became more tender. His hand was still tightly locked in her grasp, and she was unwilling to let go. She leaned her small face against his arm. Through the fabric of

the clothes, he could feel the warmth of her body.

Cen Shuang’s fever quickly subsided after taking the medicine. However, she was used to leaning on the warm body beside her. The person beside her shifted in the bed and turned around to cuddle her while avoiding the wounds on her back. He pulled her into his embrace. In the past, he enjoyed silence

and solitude, as it helped him think clearly. Now that he felt that there was nothing bad about having someone beside him. Zhuang Hong closed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth subconsciously curled up into a smile.

The next morning, Cen Shuang was woken up by a gentle kiss. She subconsciously turned her head to the side and buried herself in the pillow. She whispered, “Zhuang Hong, don’t cause trouble.”

Zhuang Hong, who was sitting next to her, was stunned. His expressionless face revealed a hint of awkwardness.

The person by the bed could not help but laugh out loud. Boyan received Zhuang Hong’s warning and said innocently, “I didn’t hear it on purpose. She’s dreaming so it’s not my fault.”

Cen Shuang, who was on the bed, reacted to that. When she opened her eyes, she saw a furry little ball. Then, she saw that a pair of eyes was looking into hers innocently. Wasn’t this one of the two dogs that she had brought back last night? So, it was this dog who had kissed her?

Boyan’s handsome face scrunched up as his eyes narrowed. He looked like a cunning fox. “You’ve woken up from your dream.. What does Zhuang Hong look like in your dream? Does he look like a lustful hungry ghost?”
