Chapter 298: Bandage (2) (1/2)

The beardy was carrying two pheasants, already stripped of their feathers, as he walked towards Chu Lian. With the light coming from his back, most of his face was shrouded in shadow and only his jet-black eyes shone with a profound glint.

Chu Lian had only dared to risk a quick glance before looking down again.

It seemed like the beardy had realised that his rash actions had made her more cautious towards him. When he walked towards the fire, he didn’t say anything and simply pierced the two pheasants through with wooden sticks before placing them over the fire to roast.

With Chu Lian’s guard up, the moment the bearded man started walking towards her, she quickly tried shifting away. However, before she could get any further, her injured leg was caught in his grasp.

Chu Lian abruptly looked up at the beardy, dumbfounded by his action.

Her eyes shone with unhappiness, reluctant to let him do as he pleased.

He Sanlang simply cast a calm glance at her and asked with his magnetic voice, “What are you hiding for? Don’t you want to keep this leg?”

Upon hearing this, Chu Lian turned her gaze to the hand he was using to grip her ankle. The warmth of his palm scorched wherever it touched her skin. Even through the thick winter pants she had on, she could feel the intense heat of his body where he held her calf.

Chu Lian shifted her gaze away awkwardly. She just didn’t know how to react when he was acting so proper while bandaging her ankle. It was too different from that evil teasing of his before.

He Changdi lifted his own armour and pulled away the tunic beneath it to tear off a piece of his soft undershirt.

Next, he attempted to lift up the hem of Chu Lian’s skirt. However, after having experienced this once before, how could Chu Lian let him have his way? She quickly pulled down her skirt and said, “I know how to do it. I’ll bandage it myself.”

He Sanlang paused but didn’t say anything. He stood up and moved over to one side, passing the strip of cloth to Chu Lian.
