Chapter 15 (2/2)

“That one is too powerful. It will sting more.”

“Ohhh.” Lin Shan nodded. After catching the bottle with her good hand, she lifted her injured hand and opened the bottle cork with her mouth; she was about to apply it on herself by pouring it on her wound.

“Wait!” Fortunately, Lian Feng warned her. It appeared that he wanted to say something. Lian Feng noticed how Lin Shan has one injured hand raised, and the other holding the bottle. She definitely couldn’t apply the medication on herself. Thus, he took the bottle from her hand and said: “Sit down. I’ll help you.”

Lin Shan didn’t bother to object, as her hand was stinging too much. She tightly pressed her teeth together and obediently allowed Lian Feng to apply the medication on her. Seeing how serious his facial expressions were, it must be the first time he has helped someone other than himself to apply on medication. It looked as if he was trying to be extremely careful. From Lin Shan’s angle, although he had half a mask* on, she could still see his firm lips and thick eyelashes.

Are you kidding me? This guy’s eyelashes look too d.a.m.n good. Definitely a 360 degrees of hotness. Lin Shan deeply sighed on the inside. All of a sudden, her palm felt a throbbing pain.

“Ahh! It hurts so much! I’m going to die from the pain!”

She hollered and tried to pull back her arm, but Lian Feng prevented her from doing so: “Stop moving!”

“But it’s too painful! I don’t want to apply on medicine! No more!” Lin Shan winced. She honestly couldn’t handle the pain. Suddenly, she recalled Lian Feng mentioning how the other bottle was even more painful. She couldn’t help be remember the slight tremble on Lian Feng’s back when she was applying the medication on him previously. At that time, he must have been in tremendous amounts of pain!

Due to Lian Feng’s forceful att.i.tude, he managed to finish applying the medication on Lin Shan’s palm. However, by the time Lin Shan pulled her hand back, her eyes were all red and her nose was sniffing.

“If I knew it was so painful, I wouldn’t have applied medication. I’m going to die from the pain…”

Lian Feng has never seen a man react in such a way over something like this. He wanted to lecture Lin Shan, but seeing his watery eyes, he felt bad. Thus, he felt awkward because he didn’t know what to say.

As Lin Shan whined about the pain and blamed Lian Feng for being too rough, she continued chattering like no tomorrow. After awhile, her hand didn’t appear to hurt as much anymore. It was then she realized that she was the only one doing all the talking. Hence, she looked up at Lian Feng, and was puzzled.

“Why are you watching me?”

From the looks of it, Lian Feng has been fixedly staring at her for quite awhile. But the moment Lin Shan spoke, Lian Feng instantly pulled his sight away from her.

“Nothing….” Since he wore a mask, no one could see his expression. Suddenly, he stood up and said: “Prince Consort, it is getting late. You’re injured. Please return to rest.”

“But I just came!” Lin Shan refuted.

“Please leave, Prince Consort.”

“I….”

“Please!”

Lian Feng’s att.i.tude was firm, and Lin Shan wasn’t able to refuse. However, she was confused and frustrated. He just helped me apply on medication, but now he’s kicking me out? Why did his face turn so fast? Yet, she couldn’t find an excuse to stay. After thinking for a moment, she glared at Lian Feng: “Fine! I’ll leave! You think you’re all that! Humph!” Lin Shan stormed out and slammed the door behind her.

As Lian Feng watched the door closed, beneath the mask his eyes revealed a turbulence of emotions.

*I’m a.s.suming the mask covers half his face horizontally, and not vertically like Phantom of the Opera. lol
