Chapter 269: Heal the Injury, Then Get Bullied by You Again?
Didn’t he leave? Why did he come back?
Lin Yibai was stuck, not knowing what to do. It wasn’t the first time he had seen her without clothes, but still, it was awkward.
What? You say she already took the last step, so why is she still awkward?
Or maybe she was just pretending?
Is there really a need to explain the feeling of shame?
Anyway, awkward is awkward. Very, very awkward.
One of her hands grabbed the blanket she had thrown onto the sofa earlier and covered her body. Then, she pointed at the boy... no, Xia Changyu was no longer a boy.
Just like Lin Yibai was no longer a girl, that “boy” from today was gone. He was already a man now!
Lin Yibai’s finger trembled a little from the strong feelings inside. She said with surprise and anger.
“You, you, you—you’re not... you already left, right? Why are you back again?”
You unpredictable, annoying man!
Why did you come back? Who asked you to come back?
Then she looked at the square-shaped blanket Xia Changyu was holding. She felt like a fool for asking such a silly question. Obviously, Xia Changyu had gone out to buy a new blanket and came back to replace it. He didn’t just leave after what happened.
But now? Xia Changyu touched the blood on his nose and felt a hot burning feeling rising fast.
Looking at her under the bright light. her soft, attractive body was faintly visible. Her awkward and unsure look made him want to be a bad guy even more.
But no, he couldn’t! Xia Changyu knew she really couldn’t take any more trouble. So he took a deep breath, held his nose, and said, “You, Baiyi... uh, I really didn’t do it on purpose.”
He quickly turned around. But then he thought, it didn’t feel right. He was already her man. Why should he turn away? Couldn’t he just look at her openly?
If Xia Changyu wanted to be forceful, maybe that would be okay. But if he wanted to show “respect,” then turning his back was the right thing to do.
He grabbed a tissue and wiped his nosebleed. Luckily, the burning feeling was only from sudden excitement. After a little while, it calmed down.
Lin Yibai used this chance to properly cover her body. She breathed out a little, feeling relieved.
Seeing Xia Changyu turn around on his own, instead of acting like a careless boyfriend watching her without respect, made her like and respect him a little more.
But no matter what, it was all Xia Changyu’s fault. Hmph!
Soon Xia Changyu turned around and awkwardly asked, “So, um... you want to wash your bedsheet now?”
Lin Yibai rolled her eyes and snorted coldly, “I’ll wash your big head... no, I’m not washing anymore. It’s all your fault... it’s your fault... you wash it!”
Then she threw the bedsheet at him.
Xia Changyu reached out and caught it in his hand. It still felt a little warm.
Lin Yibai was definitely a clean person, so there was no bad smell. But Xia Changyu could see the red marks and a few other stains from their activities from before.
Seeing this, he felt like he had forgotten something important.
Xia Changyu said, “Baiyi?”
Lin Yibai snapped back, “What are you calling me for? Dogs bark too, you know?”
Xia Changyu quickly waved his hand, a bit confused, and said, “No, I mean, you gave them to me, why?”
Lin Yibai snorted coldly and said angrily, “What do you mean ‘gave them’? Whoever made it dirty has to wash it, okay?”
Xia Changyu sat up straight. After thinking carefully, it really was his fault, he had made it dirty. So there was nothing to say. He just had to take responsibility and finish the job!
He wanted to call out to Lin Yibai to say something comforting or maybe joke around. But then he saw Lin Yibai walking toward the wardrobe, and he swallowed nervously.
Right now, Lin Yibai was only wearing a thin blanket. The beautiful curves of her body were clearly visible. Every move she made caught Xia Changyu’s eyes.
He took a deep breath and silently told himself, “Don’t look if it’s not right.”
Want to look? Wait until Lin Yibai’s injury is healed, then you can look all you want.
“I’m going to help you wash the bedsheet,” Xia Changyu said quietly and walked into the bathroom.
He poured some detergent and soaked it in warm water. But soon, he noticed the problem. It was a white bedsheet, so any stain showed very clearly.
Other stains were okay, but the blood stains were really hard to clean. The pure white bedsheet quickly became lightly stained with red. Xia Changyu wrung it out and looked at it carefully under the bright bathroom light.
Unaware of how he looked, he really seemed like a weirdo.
After a while, he finally said, “Damn, it looks like the blood stains really won’t come out.”
What should he do? Should he tell Lin Yibai that washing the bedsheet made it dirtier?
No way. This was the one thing he wouldn’t admit defeat on.
Then, as the saying goes, if the mountain doesn’t move, the water does. Xia Changyu peeked his head out and said, “Baiyi, you don’t have some kind of sentimental feeling for this bedsheet, do you?”
Lin Yibai sat on the bed like a tired wife. She kept rubbing her waist and back, looking completely worn out from being tossed around. When she heard the voice of the troublemaker, she snapped, “What do you mean? Ow, oww~~~”
Xia Changyu heard her groan and felt a little softer inside. He looked like he really cared and said, “The blood won’t come out, so I’ll take you to buy new ones tomorrow, okay?”
Lin Yibai got angry, “Are you stupid or what?”
Xia Changyu: Ah, what’s wrong?”
Lin Yibai tried to stand up, but the pain was too much, and she fell back onto the bed looking miserable. She shouted angrily, “Look at me now! Do I look like someone who can just go shopping with you? Huh???”
Xia Changyu said, “Ah... I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I was wrong.”
Lin Yibai asked, “What exactly are you sorry for?”
Xia Changyu hung the bedsheet on the balcony to dry. Although it would probably never be as clean and white as before, to him, the memory was more important, wasn’t it?
He walked over. Gently hugged Lin Yibai. And said the kindest, most comforting words. He knew he had to be responsible for this girl for the rest of his life!
Xia Changyu lifted her carefully and placed her on the single sofa. Then while laying out new sheets and blankets, he said softly and gently, “I was wrong about everything. You can punish me however you want. But only after your injury heals.”
After the injury heals?
Lin Yibai opened her mouth, wanting to argue. But in the end, she just sighed softly.
And thinking about it, maybe waiting until the injury heals means that after she’s healed, she’ll get bullied again?
That’s a smart plan!
But oh well, she forgave him!
