Chapter 457 - Deceive Oneself (2/2)

When the danger was lifted, both of them breathed a sigh of relief. However, right at that moment, Jia Shihan screamed again.

It turned out that Qin Haodong had been so eager to save her just now that he had torn off all her ragged clothes, leaving only a bright red belly band and a pair of ragged flower shorts. At that moment, she was exposed in front of Qin Haodong.

Ever since she was a child, she had never faced a man like this. With her hands instinctively covering her chest, who knew that she would touch the skin that had just been burned as she screamed again?

“Don’t move. The skin on your body is injured. You must not move.”

Qin Haodong hurriedly stopped Jia Shihan. As a doctor, he was well aware of the seriousness of skin burns. If she moved around, it would easily cause the injured skin to fall off. It would then become very troublesome to treat.

Jia Shihan, who had just suffered a loss, stood there awkwardly, as she did not know whether to move or not.

Apart from the TV shows, Qin Haodong had never seen a woman wearing a belly band. He could not help taking a few glances.

Currently, the belly band had many holes in it from being burned. Some parts could not cover up her prominent chest. He could not help saying in his heart that he had not realized that this gentle and quiet little girl had such a good body.

However, when he saw Jia Shihan’s burnt skin, he immediately turned serious. He did not expect that in such a short period of time, it would cause such serious burns. She had mild to severe burns from her face to her body.

The burnt skin formed a sharp contrast with the white skin next to it. Looking at it made a person’s heart palpitate.

He asked, “What is going on? Why was it suddenly on fire?”

Jia Shihan endured the sharp pain on her body. She pointed to the gas stove and said, “I don’t know. Just now I wanted to light a fire to cook, but all of a sudden, it lit up.”

Qin Haodong looked at the burning gas stove and immediately realized that although she had learned to light the gas stove, she forgot the sequence. She had turned on the gas first, then gone to pick up the vegetables before igniting the fire. Because she had left it on a little too long, there was a lot of gas leakage. It resulted in a small-scale gas explosion.

At that moment, Jia Shihan yelled nervously, “How is it? Has my face been disfigured? Why does my face hurt so much?”

Although there were several more severe burns on her body, as a woman, she was most concerned about her appearance.

“Don’t worry, it’s fine. I am a doctor. I can heal you quickly!”

After Qin Haodong spoke, he turned off the gas stove and returned to the living room with Jia Shihan.

“You have too much burnt skin on your body. You must not move around. Just stand there and wait for me to come back and treat you.” After Qin Haodong instructed Jia Shihan, he brought hot water, towels, scissors, and other items. Then, he took out a bottle of ointment for the burns from his spirit ring.

This bottle of ointment was originally prepared for the little fellow. It had the unique formula of the Cultivation World, using many precious medicinal materials. It had a magical effect on the treatment of burns.

Jia Shihan said as she saw him take out the ointment, “My face. You have to heal my face first!”

“Don’t worry. Your injuries are not serious. They can all be healed!”

Qin Haodong spoke while he used his finger to gather a little bit of the green ointment. He gently rubbed it on her burnt left cheek. While smearing the ointment, he applied Green Wood Genuine Qi onto it.

Jia Shihan originally felt a burst of heat and pain on her left face. But when Qin Haodong put on the ointment, she immediately felt cool and very comfortable.

She could not help saying, “Brother, your medical skills are amazing.”

“Like I said, it is just a small injury. It will heal soon!”

Qin Haodong spoke while going from up to down, smearing the ointment on Jia Shihan.

With the gradual downward movement, Jia Shihan’s body slowly tightened up. It was because his current position was getting closer and closer to her chest.

Qin Haodong smeared the burns on her neck and shoulders, and then said, “Your belly band interferes with the treatment of the wound. Can you take it off?”

“No, I can’t.”

Jia Shihan screamed as a reflex. If she took off her belly band, her breasts would all be exposed. She had never been seen by anyone else before. Moreover, it was a man.

“But your belly band is stuck to the burnt skin. You can’t treat it if you don’t take it off.” Qin Haodong worked hard to persuade her. “Don’t worry, I am a doctor. The heart of a doctor definitely won’t have other ideas.”

Jia Shihan was still nervous. She said with a light tremble in her voice, “Can you give me the ointment? I will rub it on myself.”

“That’s not possible.” Qin Haodong said, “The skin on the wound on your chest is seriously injured. If you don’t know how to do it then it’s easy to hurt your skin. On the contrary, it will make the injury worse.”

There was one thing he had not explained. It was that this ointment must work with the Green Wood Genuine Qi to be able to achieve the best effect. Although ordinary people could use it to cure burns, the effect would be greatly reduced, and the time for healing the skin would be greatly prolonged.

“But… but…”

Although she knew that this was required for medical treatment, Jia Shihan was still unable to expose her body calmly. The skin on her entire body turned red from nervousness.

Qin Haodong said helplessly as he saw that the little girl was so old fashioned, “How about this? Just close your eyes and think of me as a woman.”

“Oh! Okay then.”

Jia Shihan seemed to have found a way to avoid her shyness. Then she cooperated after closing her eyes.

“That worked?”

Qin Haodong laughed. He had only casually said it and did not expect that the extremely simple little girl would actually listen to him.

What use was it to shut her eyes when he had not shut his eyes? Was this the legendary saying “deceiving oneself”?
