Chapter 727: Chapter 723: Taking Care of the Injured
âAre you hungry? Have some congee.â Lin Yuehua placed the birdâs nest porridge she had brought onto the bedside table next to him and smiled at Ye Fan.
Ye Fan was indeed a bit hungry and said, âThank you for the trouble.â
Lin Yuehua laughed, âNo need for thanks, weâre good friends.â
As she spoke, she leaned over, stretching out her hand carefully to help Ye Fan sit up in bed, making it easier to feed him the congee.
Worried about hurting Ye Fan, she moved very cautiously, bending her upper body close to Ye Fan. Her long, flowing hair cascaded down, lightly falling on Ye Fanâs face, neck, and chest.
As she helped him up, her hair brushed against Ye Fanâs face and neck with her movements. Aside from the pleasant scent of her hair, Ye Fan felt a tickling sensation on his face and neck, causing him to involuntarily twist his neck.
However, this twist of the neck, combined with being propped half-up, suddenly pulled at his wounds on one side of his body, causing him to let out an involuntary grunt of pain.
Ye Fanâs muffled groan startled Lin Yuehua, making her immediately halt her movements and hold his upper body steady, unintentionally pressing herself closer to Ye Fan.
âIâm sorry, I hurt you,â Lin Yuehua said apologetically.
Ye Fan felt a warm breath like orchids blow onto his ear, causing a tingling itchiness.
However, his focus wasnât on his ear, but rather on his chest, as he distinctly felt two soft masses lightly pressing against it.
Snap out of it, Ye Fan forced a smile and said, âNo, itâs okay.â
âIâll try to be more careful, just bear with it a little,â Lin Yuehua said, still holding Ye Fanâs upper body in that position.
Ye Fan replied, âAlright.â
Next, Lin Yuehua very carefully continued to help Ye Fan sit up in bed.
Finally, after getting him settled, Lin Yuehua let go of Ye Fan and took a deep breath of relief.
Ye Fan also exhaled and couldnât help but stealthily glance at Lin Yuehuaâs full bosom.
Following that, Lin Yuehua picked up the birdâs nest porridge and gently and carefully started feeding it to Ye Fan.
After taking a sip of the porridge, Ye Fan said, âI never expected that both times Iâve been seriously injured and bedridden, you were the one to take care of me, Iâm truly grateful. I donât even know how to thank you.â
Lin Yuehua just smiled without speaking and continued to spoon a little birdâs nest porridge into Ye Fanâs mouth.
âYuehua, do you have any dreams?â Ye Fan asked again.
He was somewhat considering helping Lin Yuehua achieve her dreams.
Lin Yuehua paused, pondered for a moment, and after feeding another spoonful of porridge to Ye Fan, she slowly said, âIâm not very sure. Perhaps one day to enter the Path of Holding the Elixir.â
âOh,â Ye Fan responded, knowing this was a dream he couldnât help with.
The two of them chatted leisurely.
When Ye Fan was about to finish a bowl of birdâs nest porridge, they started talking about music.
âYe Fan, have you come up with any new songs recently?â Lin Yuehua asked.
Ye Fan smiled and said, âI actually have two. When my wounds are a bit better, Iâll sing them for you.â
âThat would be great,â Lin Yuehua said happily.
After finishing the porridge and resting for a while, Lin Yuehua helped Ye Fan lie back down.
âYou rest well. In about half an hour, Iâll come change your dressing,â Lin Yuehua said.
Ye Fan responded.
His body was covered in injuries, and although his skin hadnât been split open, the muscles and skin all over his body had been pecked by Dong Ziqiâs crane beak strikes, which didnât feel any less severe than the last time.
More than half an hour later, Lin Yuehua really brought in a basin of warm water, along with towels and gauze.
It took nearly half an hour, but Lin Yuehua not only helped Ye Fan wash off the old ointment smeared on his body but also helped him apply a new ointment.
After putting on the new ointment, as its effects began to take hold, Ye Fan felt a tingling itchiness and had no energy to talk with Lin Yuehua, so he focused on lying in bed.
And Lin Yuehua also left with the water.
Around four oâclock in the afternoon, as Ye Fan was pondering things while looking at the ceiling, there was suddenly a knock on the door.
âCome in,â he murmured, turning his head slightly towards the door and calling out, thinking it was Lin Yuehua.
The door was immediately pushed open quickly, followed by a familiar voice: âStinky brother-in-law!â
Ye Fan looked up and saw that it was indeed Mo Xiaoyan.
After closing the door, Mo Xiaoyan quickly walked to the bed and, looking at Ye Fan bound up in gauze like a mummy, asked with anxious concern, âStinky brother-in-law, how badly are you hurt?â
âHaha, I wonât die. In a few more days, Iâll be bouncing around again,â Ye Fan said.
Mo Xiaoyan gently stroked the gauze on Ye Fanâs body, her eyes slightly reddening as she said, âYouâre hurt like this and still say itâs nothing? If I hadnât rushed over, would you have lied to us, claiming you were totally fine?â
âHumph, I hate it most when you men pretend thereâs nothing wrong when there is!â
Ye Fan chuckled and replied, âYou mustnât tell your sister about this.â
âGot it,â Mo Xiaoyan said.
Then she asked with puzzlement, âWerenât you dueling with Dong Ziqi? He seemed to be just at the late stage of the Hidden Energy, so how did you end up so injured?â
âHe made a breakthrough a few days ago; given some more time, he wouldâve been a Master of Energy Transformation,â Ye Fan said. âBut now, heâs lost his chance forever.â
âAh!â Mo Xiaoyan gasped in shock, âSo youâre saying you defeated a demi-Master of Energy Transformation?!â
Ye Fan replied with a faint smile, âSomething like that.â
âWow, stinky brother-in-law, youâre so awesome!â Mo Xiaoyanâs eyes shone as she exclaimed, âI find myself kind of admiring you.â
Ye Fan just laughed it off with indifference.
Mo Xiaoyan reached out with her delicate white hand to gently touch Ye Fanâs cheek and then suddenly leaned over and quickly kissed Ye Fan on the lips.
Ye Fanâs body was nearly immobile, naturally unable to dodge; he could only smile wryly and say, âXiaoyan, donât do that.â
âHee hee,â Mo Xiaoyan straightened her upper body, laughing somewhat joyfully, âI suddenly think itâs pretty good that youâre injured.â
She said this while playfully pinching Ye Fanâs cheek with her jade-like hands.
âDonât pinch my face,â Ye Fan exclaimed. When had he ever been pinched in the face like this?
âIâll pinch if I want,â Mo Xiaoyan retorted petulantly.
As she spoke, she reached out to pinch the other side of Ye Fanâs cheek, proudly saying, âStinky brother-in-law, youâre not in this state very often.â
Seeing that he couldnât stop Mo Xiaoyanâs mischief, Ye Fan tried to divert her attention by asking, âWhat did you mean just now by saying itâs quite good that Iâm hurt?â
âBecause for the next few days, I can take good care of you,â Mo Xiaoyan said with a smiling glance.
Ye Fan felt a complex emotion in his heart. Before the New Year, he had resolved to cut off the ambiguous relationship with Mo Xiaoyan. However, given her current attitude, it was clear he had failed.
âForget about it. Youâre a missy whoâs been waited on hand and foot your whole life; itâs good enough if youâre not being served, let alone looking after someone else,â Ye Fan forced a smile and casually said, âIâve already got someone to take care of me.â
âDonât underestimate me! I guarantee youâll be comfortable under my care,â Mo Xiaoyan hummed softly, then added, âMr. Shen is still a man, after all. If thereâs a choice to be made, do you really feel comfortable having Mr. Shen work for you?â
Ye Fan mumbled a few vague words, definitely not daring to let Mo Xiaoyan know it was Lin Yuehua looking after him. If Mo Xiaoyan knew, given her nature, things would surely turn chaotic.
