Although Jing Rong was worried, he immediately regained his cold expression and asked, "Can you get up?"
Ji Yunshu shook her head. "No!"
"You didn't hurt your foot!"
"I did," she said earnestly and pointed at her right foot.
Her eyes were filled with tears.
Jing Rong really had no choice. After all, it was because of him that she was injured. A wave of guilt welled up in his heart. After taking a deep breath, he put on a stern expression and carried her up from the ground. Ji Yunshu's little trick succeeded. The moment Jing Rong carried her, she first picked up the painting on the ground and took advantage of the situation to wrap her arms around his neck. She rested her head on his sturdy chest and inhaled the familiar scent of his body.
。
The corners of her mouth were curled up in a smile, like a naughty child.
Jing Rong didn't notice her expression. He carefully carried her to a stool and sat her down.
However, Ji Yunshu hugged his neck and refused to let go.
She sat on the stool while he leaned down.
"Let go. I'll go find medicine for you." He said in a commanding tone.
Ji Yunshu told him, "I don't need medicine. As long as you're by my side, you're the best medicine."
The sudden words of love caught the other party off guard.
Jing Rong's expression changed. In the end, he removed her hands from his neck and ordered, "Sit properly."
Then, he walked towards the backyard.
Ji Yunshu wanted to chase after him, but she remembered that she lied to him that she sprained her ankle and couldn't move. So, she obediently sat down and waited.
Not long after, Jing Rong pulled the maidservant into the bamboo house with a small medicine box.
When the maidservant heard that Ji Yunshu was injured, her face was full of worry. She immediately rushed over and said, "Miss Ji, let this servant see your hand."
The maidservant gently held her injured hand. When she saw the small bloodstains, she was immediately frightened. "It's bleeding. You have to apply medicine quickly."
As she spoke, the maidservant opened the medicine box and took out some medicine to apply medicine.
But —
Ji Yunshu suddenly stretched out her injured hand and ordered, "No need. You can go back to your work."
"But if I don't apply medicine …"
"I'm fine." Despite Ji Yunshu's order, the little girl still refused to leave. She came from the Su Mansion, and Su Ziluo had specifically instructed them to treat Ji Yunshu the same way they treated Su Ziluo. Thus, the maidservant didn't dare to refuse.
If her master knew that she was injured, she wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.
Ji Yunshu's gaze fell on Jing Rong. "You are the one who pushed me. Shouldn't you be the one to apply medicine? If you're willing, I'll forgive you. "
If you're willing, I'll forgive you. "
Jing Rong hesitated for a moment, but he felt that Ji Yunshu was right. He walked over and waved his hand at the maidservant. "That's enough. You can leave. I'll apply the medicine for Miss Ji."
The maidservant's gaze moved back and forth between the two people in front of her. She felt that the atmosphere was not right, so she stood up and left, but she kept looking back.
She softly muttered a few unclear words. When the maidservant arrived, Jing Rong squatted down and found a bottle of medicine from the medicine box on the ground. Then, without saying a word, he grabbed Ji Yunshu's hand and applied the medicine on the wound on her palm. His movements were rough and forceful.
He didn't use too much force.
The medicine seeped into the wound. It tore at Ji Yunshu's palm, causing her to shiver in pain.
She instinctively wanted to pull her hand back, but Jing Rong held it firmly.
"Ugh! It hurts! "She couldn't help but cry out.
When Jing Rong heard her cry of pain, his rough movements paused. He couldn't help but become gentler. He even blew on her wound a few times. His movements were gentle.
In contrast, Ji Yunshu didn't feel any pain at all.
It was as if a flower had bloomed in her palm.
After the medicine was applied, Jing Rong warned, "Don't let it get wet. Otherwise, it will leave a scar."
She obediently agreed to all of them.
Then, Jing Rong suddenly lifted her 'injured' right foot and gently pressed his fingers on her ankle. He asked, "Did you sprain it like this?"
Ji Yunshu seemed to be in a daze. She blankly nodded and replied, "En."
Jing Rong began to gently twist her foot. He was afraid that he would hurt her if he used too much strength, so his movements became much gentler and slower.
His gentleness touched Ji Yunshu's heart.
She was sure that even if Jing Rong didn't remember what happened in the past, she knew that she was still in his heart.
Thinking of this, her eyes reddened.
But in order not to let Jing Rong see, she quickly reached out and quietly wiped her eyes. "Alright, it doesn't hurt anymore."
Only then did Jing Rong put her foot down. He stood up and asked, "Can you walk now?"
"Let me try!"
She propped herself up and cautiously took a step forward. It wasn't good to continue pretending, so she simply took two more steps. She smiled and said, "I'm fine now."
"Just now … I'm sorry."
"I don't blame you. No matter what, I won't blame you."
The more she said this, the more guilty Jing Rong felt. He could only say, "It's getting late. Since you're fine now, you should go back to your room and rest."
"But I still have something to give you." She quickly picked up the painting and handed it to Jing Rong. "Open it and take a look."
Huh?
Jing Rong looked at it, but in the end, he still reached out and took it.
He slowly opened it.
There was a person in the painting!
It was himself!
In the painting, he stood in the corridor with an imposing figure. Although it was only his side profile, his cold and unapproachable aura was vividly displayed. He wasn't like the noble, arrogant, and benevolent person he was when he was dressed in luxurious clothes.
"Do you like it?" Ji Yunshu asked him.
Jing Rong couldn't say that he liked it.
Or that he didn't like it?
After a few glances, he rolled up the painting and handed it back. "It's not convenient for me to carry it around."
"This is a gift for you. There's no reason to take it back."
"Did I say that I wanted it?"
"If you don't like it, then burn it or throw it away. In any case, it's yours. You can do whatever you want with it." Ji Yunshu refused to take the painting back.
Seeing that she didn't take it, Jing Rong put the painting on the table and turned to leave.
Ji Yunshu looked at his back and sighed softly.
She sat in the hall for a while before returning to her room to rest. However, she wasn't sleepy at all.
A maidservant came in with an incense burner. Seeing her in a daze, she asked, "Miss, does your hand hurt?"
Ji Yunshu shook her head.
"Then what's wrong? Don't tell me you're not familiar with the place? "
Ji Yunshu shook her head again.
The maidservant looked puzzled. She didn't know what else to ask. She could only throw a piece of incense into the incense burner to calm Ji Yunshu down and let her rest early.
Ji Yunshu felt uneasy when she thought that Jing Rong didn't take her painting. In the end, she waved her hand at the maidservant. "Go and rest. Don't worry about me."
"Yes. If Miss has any instructions, just call this servant. This servant is just next door."
"En."
After the maidservant left, Ji Yunshu put on a cloak and went out. At this moment, Jing Rong was sitting on the stone steps in the front courtyard, keeping watch. He raised his eyes to look at the moon hanging in the sky. He had to admit that his face, eyes, nose, and mouth were all like a painting. Inch by inch, they were all painted to perfection.
It was very detailed.
"Who is it?" He sensed someone approaching. He turned around and saw Ji Yunshu walking over.
She sat beside him. "I can't sleep. I want to talk to you. Stay with me for a while."
Jing Rong was about to get up …
Ji Yunshu suddenly grabbed his arm and rested her head on his sturdy shoulder. She stared at the moon hanging in the night sky.
Jing Rong tilted his head to look at her. He tried to pull his hand away, but he saw that her palm was still injured. If he pushed it away like before, he was afraid that it would hurt her again.
So, he could only give up. Seeing that he didn't push her away, Ji Yunshu said, "When we first met, you chased after me relentlessly. When I was trapped in prison, you were there for me. When I was sad, you were there for me. When I was hurt, you were there for me. Even when I was stubbornly determined to do something, you didn't ask anything. You just followed me to do it, no matter if it was right or wrong! As long as I wanted to do it, you would disregard everything to accompany me. It was because of this that I was slowly moved by you.
In this life, I can't be without you! So now … it's my turn to pursue you. I believe that you will love me like I loved you in the past. "
