"Ah..."
Xie Jianshen winced when Jiang Rufeng pressed a cloth soaked in rice wine against his wounds to disinfect them.
"Hiss..."
A soft smile laced Jiang Rufeng's lips when he saw Xie Jianshen looking away, not wanting to see the horrible gashes on his arm.
"You have been very brave," the alpha lion commented. "I am sorry that it happened."
"Hmpf," Xie Jianshen grunted in response.
He did not need any kind of praise for his courage or whatever. It did not lessen the pain in his arm at all.
"Are you angry that I came late?"
"..."
The omega said nothing in response.
"I am sorry," Jiang Rufeng sincerely said as he finished bandaging Xie Jianshen's arm. Xie Jianshen withdrew his arm from Jiang Rufeng's grip soon after.
"You said that you were going to leave after you finished dressing my wounds," the omega said without looking in his husband's direction. "You have finished. Please take your leave."
"No."
