C35 (1/2)
Three months of cool breeze carried a faint fragrance of flowers. Luo Yi looked at the child in front of him, her hair fluttering between her brows.
Chen Liyi was bewitched for a moment, his brain was not enough, but it was difficult for him to still be concerned about his own identity at this time. Even if he was not straight, he still looked back at his bravely, and raised his little head, raising his gaze halfway to the woman in front of him: ”I will not apologize to you!”
”It doesn't hurt!” Chen Liyi answered quickly, but unfortunately, the moment his voice landed on the injured area, he was not lightly pressed down, and then, with his eyes lowered, he let out a painful cry.
Luo Yi looked in the direction where his finger pointed, and sure enough, there was a small mound there.
There were also a few strands of animal fur.
Luo Yi looked at the fur, she reckoned that it was a cat and dog type of animal, after thinking ”Wu”, he asked: ”Is it your pet?”
”Yes.” Chen Liyi nodded his head obediently. Ashe walked, she accidentally pulled on the wound on his knee, and as a result, he frowned and let out a soft ”hiss”.
But on this point, he didn't seem like a child at all. After he finished ”Si”, he silently waited for the pain to subside, and turned a blind eye to Luo Yi's suggestion to find a doctor.
”It's alright. I'm used to it.”
Then, when Luo Yi pulled him to find a place to sit, she heard him say that he would rub him first.
He was probably really used to it, so that when a pair of hands gingerly touched his knees, he unconsciously flinched.
Luo Yi looked at him strangely.
Then she lowered her head again, massaging his knees as she muttered, ”You said you're a crown prince. You don't have any eunuchs or maids to accompany you when you usually go out. No one will call you for an imperial physician even if you fall today …”
As she spoke, she lifted her head to look around her surroundings. With a questioning tone, she asked, ”Speaking of which, there isn't a single palace nearby. How did you come here?”
”Ah, that's right. When you go back later, remember to find an imperial physician to apply the medicine. I estimate that your knee should be bruised …” ”When we were kids, we fell down. Adults would blow on our wounds, but I can't blow on your clothes. When you get back, blow on your own, and …”
She was just mumbling to herself, and did not point at Chen Liyi to reply. Who knew that as she spoke, the child in front of her suddenly spoke out: ”There used to be a mistress who lived here, but I heard the palace maid that took care of me say that she died, so this entire place was taken apart by royal father …”
”Hmm?”
Luo Yi was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was answering her previous question. After a while, she realized that the one he was referring to was her royal father who was currently imprisoned in the Northern Tribes, so her mother should be referring to …
Before she could clear her mind completely, the child in front of her blinked at her. ”My finger is also injured.”
After Chen Liyi finished speaking, he looked at the lady in front of him anxiously. Seeing that she did not react for a long time, he smirked and repeated unhappily: ”I said that my finger was also injured.”
Probably dissatisfied with her dullness, Chen Liyi raised his finger towards Luo Yi's eyes in a huff, then pointed back at the place the two of them had just stood: ”It bit me.”
Luo Yi's gaze swept across the small mound of dirt once more before returning to his finger that was still held up in front of her eyes. She said with an uncertain tone: ”You want me to blow a finger on your finger?”
Chen Liyi respectfully nodded.
”Puff …” Luo Yi couldn't help but laugh out loud, ”Just tell me what you want, why are boys so shy.”
But even so, Luo Yi still took his hand and looked at it carefully. Finally, she saw a shallow wound on her index finger that was almost invisible.
He reckoned that this wound had been there for quite some time. The small crescent-shaped wound was almost the same color as the flesh on his finger.
But even so, Luo Yi was still serious, blowing on his finger, and after that she smiled, narrowed her eyes and added: ”Good girl, blowing is not painful.”
Originally … It didn't hurt anymore.
Chen Liyi's body did not look fat, but his face was round, and the back of his hand was chubby.
After Luo Yi finished blowing, he placed his hand back onto his knees, and asked with a smile: ”Satisfied?”
Chen Liyi, ”...”
He flapped his eyelashes and blinked. His little head spun around and around, but he still didn't know how to reply.
No one had ever told him that an injury was a blow to the face.
Most of the maids who took care of him were afraid of him, and the only one who was not afraid of him would not tell him about this. She would only apply the medicine on him with a smile, and then say, ”It's good that it hurts.
She always taught him this: ”Do not let go of anyone who hurts you.”
Chen Liyi looked at Luo Yi for a while more, then raised the hand that she had just placed on his knee again: ”It's still painful.”
”Alright …” Luo Yi had no other choice but to follow his wishes, take the child and blow on her lips twice. Then, she raised her chin towards his other hand: ”Does that hand hurt?”
Chen Liyi thought for a moment, then naturally passed his other hand over as well: ”It hurts.”
Luo Yi laughed and obediently took his other hand.
However, the smell on his hand was a bit strange. Luo Yi frowned, he turned his hand over and over a few times, and finally saw a small chunk of frozen blood between his fingers.
”What is this? Is your hand bleeding? ” Luo Yi carefully rubbed her finger against the bloodstain, wanting to see if she was hurt by the grass on the side. However, Chen Liyi only glanced at it once, before shaking her head, indicating that she should not take it to heart, and said: ”This is not my blood, it is …”
