"Endure it, it'll be better in a while,"
Qiao Xiguan bit her lip, not making a scene as she had done every other time; she clutched the corner of the blanket tightly, feeling a pain on her back as if it were being sliced by a knife, so intense that her eyes reddened again and again.
Gu Zichen finished cleaning up quickly.
He took out a bandage and wrapped it around her back.
After the bandaging was done, Qiao Xiguan let out a slight breath of relief and lay on the bed gasping for air.
"Why didn't you scream this time?" Gu Zichen asked as he packed up the medical kit.
"I am a restrained woman."
"..." Gu Zichen was rendered speechless.
"I'm hungry now," Qiao Xiguan said quietly as she climbed out of the bed.
"You do look quite hungry," Gu Zichen commented.
Qiao Xiguan frowned.
She always felt that Gu Zichen couldn't say anything nice.
Gu Zichen pointed at the corner of her lips.
Qiao Xiguan touched it, puzzled.
Saliva.
