A hint of embarrassment appeared on Liu Xiya's palm-sized face. His face couldn't help but turn red, and in the misty bathroom, it seemed even more radiant. ”You misunderstand.”

She made as if to get up, but this awkward position with Shen Jingchen caused her to be unable to even breathe.

However, Shen Jingchen refused to let her do as she pleased. He pulled on Liu Xixi's hand and said, ”Don't move. I'll help you apply the medicine.”

Liu Xi Xi Xi was at a loss for words. He wanted to break free from Shen Mo Chen, but he did not have enough strength, ”Wet all over, what medicine do you want to rub on your body? Hurry and get me up. ”

”Why don't you just sit on my lap?” Shen said as he lifted Liu Xixi's butt, letting her sit firmly on the base of his thigh. That way, all of Liu Xixi's scalded body parts would appear on the surface of the water.

Liu Xixi was embarrassed to the point that she didn't even know how to put out her hands. She wanted to stand up, but without water cover, she would only feel even more embarrassed.

She twisted her body uneasily, but she could feel the man's breathing slowly become heavy. ”Don't move. If you move again, I won't be able to bear it.”

Liu Xi Xi instantly sat obediently on his lap, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Shen Mo Chen couldn't help but find it funny when he saw the look on Liu Xi's face. He picked up the towel by his side and wiped the water droplets off Liu Xi's hands. Then, he opened the ointment and gently rubbed it over the burns on Liu Xi's body.

Originally, Liu Xixi didn't think so. Now that she had the stimulation of medicine, she felt a burning pain where she had applied the medicine. Her small face slightly contorted.

Shen Mo Chen felt the changes in Liu Xi Xi's body and couldn't help but mutter, ”Now you know pain? Don't you know how to think about the consequences when quarreling with someone? ”

Liu Xi Xi didn't say anything. Shen Mo Chen wasn't her, so he naturally couldn't understand her anger at that time. Even if it was time to do it again, she would not hesitate to go against Director Li.

After the initial stimulation of the medicine had subsided, Liuxi's arm no longer had the initial burning pain, and the place where she had applied the ointment became cooler and more comfortable.

”Alright.” Shen Mo Chen helped Liu Xixi apply the ointment on the burn place evenly, and for once, he didn't do anything else as he told Liu Xixi.

When the torture was finally over, Liussi got up from the bathtub, took her bathrobe from the rack beside her, wrapped it around her, and went out to the bathroom.

The moment she stepped out of the bathroom, Liuxi heard Shen's voice behind her. ”Liuxi, if I don't mind what happened earlier, would you be willing to come back to me?”

For a moment, it was as if she was struck by lightning, unable to move at all. She thought that Shen Jingchen hated her so much that she never dared to imagine the day where his attitude towards her would improve.

A long, long time later, when Shen Mo Chen thought that Liuxi was probably standing there sleeping, Liuxi silently closed the bathroom door and left without a word.

Shen Jingchen stared at the tightly shut bathroom door, his eyes no longer warm and gentle. In an instant, he was filled with doubt and uncertainty. He had no idea why he would suddenly say such words.
