C41 (1/2)

Tang Zhen didn't know how she fell asleep. Tonight, she slept an extremely torturous sleep and the pain from her arm that was burning hot filled the entire night.

The itching pain made her want to scratch it many times, but she resisted in the end. She could only tightly curl herself up and fiercely bite her hand to alleviate the torture on her arm.

She got up and looked at her side; there were no traces of sleep, which was more than enough to prove that Song Qiting had not come back for the entire night.

That's right, she had beaten Yu Yifei so heavily, how could he not feel pain in his heart?

Tang Zhen got up and sat in front of the dressing table. She took out the ointment from her bag with one hand and couldn't move her arm. She could only use her teeth to untie the bandages on her arm.

She gritted her teeth and endured the pain as she removed the gauze layer by layer. The water from her wound tightly stuck to the gauze, wanting to turn it into something even more torturous.

Tang Zhen only felt as if millions of ants were gnawing at her heart, and every part of her body was covered in cold sweat from the pain she felt when she was exposed.

Finally, the gauze was completely removed by her, and beads of sweat the size of beans dripped onto her arms at the same time the gauze was thrown away.

The piece of skin was completely detached from the flesh and floated up. However, that layer of skin was not completely dead yet, and the flesh inside was not solid either. She could only endure the pain as she received the bandages.

However, removing the gauze had exhausted Tang Zhen's entire body's energy, she did not have any more strength to apply the medicine, causing Tang Zhen to feel dizzy, then she lied down on the dressing table and gasped for air.

”Tang Zhen?” The bedroom door suddenly opened. Song Qiting, who had not returned for the night, quickly rushed over, ”What are you doing?”

Song Qiting watched intently as the wound on her arm fiercely stabbed into her heart. Tang Zhen's pale face was already drenched with sweat, and in an instant, all the scolding words around her mouth were swallowed.

He carried Tang Zhen onto the bed and leaned him against her back with the pillow. Then, he hurriedly took the ointment and clean bandages from the dressing table to bandage her.

”Why don't you let the servants help you?”

Song Qiting chided angrily. Looking at how Tang Zhen was pretending to be strong, he really wanted to dig out her heart to see what exactly was stubborn about.

The pain was no longer as intense as before. She slowly opened her eyes, and coincidentally, the image of Song Qiting's face, which could overthrow the world, appeared.

”I can do it myself.”

Tang Zhen said softly, her soft voice allowing Song Qiting to barely hear a bit more clearly. After she finished speaking, she once again powerlessly closed her eyes.

”Do you really think you're that strong? Tang Zhen, you can't be like a woman, gentle and weak.”

Song Qiting shouted in annoyance, but he still applied the medicine on her carefully, afraid that he would hurt her.

How could Tang Zhen have the strength to bicker with Song Qiting? In his daze, his weak gaze just happened to land on Song Qiting's body.

He carefully applied the medicine on himself and ruthlessly smashed Tang Zhen's heart. His gentle appearance was like an illusion, causing Tang Zhen's heart to ache uncontrollably.

Why did he give her such a ridiculous illusion when she was in despair, causing her to mistake Song Qiting already started to care about her?

But only Tang Zhen knew in her heart how cold Song Qiting's heart was. If it was in the past, even if a moth flew into a flame, she would not hesitate to chase after him.

But now, she was afraid. She didn't have any strength left.

”Does it hurt?”

Song Qiting would carefully blow on her every time he smeared her, and he would even ask her about it later with great concern.

No matter how firm Tang Zhen's heart was, there would always be a moment when he would collapse in favor of such a policy.

She looked at Song Qiting walking in circles, carefully wrapping her body with gauze, and finally couldn't resist and opened her mouth.
