Chapter 803: What Happened to Him?
Zhang Lingying gritted her teeth and reached out to open the door.
She originally thought that upon seeing Lu Jing, she would be unable to resist cursing him out loudly.
But when she really saw him curled up in a ball, leaning against her door, with injuries on his face, she couldn’t bring herself to say the words stuck in her throat.
Hearing the door open, Lu Jing seemed surprised as well. It took him two seconds before he looked up at her.
His voice was a bit hoarse: "Did I disturb you?"
Zhang Lingying: "..."
She was used to seeing him spirited and rebellious, but seeing him so pitiful and cautious all of a sudden, she couldn’t help but press her lips together in discomfort.
She shifted her body slightly to the side.
"Let me be clear, I really don’t know how to treat wounds. The most I can do is let you into my home and get a first aid kit for you. You’ll have to deal with the injuries on your face yourself."
After saying this, as if worried she might regret it, she quickly turned and walked inside.
Without waiting for Lu Jing to say anything, she took out a first aid kit from the room and placed it on the table, then reached over to grab her book from the table and sat at the very edge of the sofa.
Opening the book in her hands, she pretended not to care about Lu Jing at all, but her eyes couldn’t help but stealthily glance at him from the corner.
Lu Jing didn’t stand on ceremony with her. Seeing her open the door, he walked in naturally.
He first went to the bathroom to wash his hands, then his face.
His movements were a bit rough. His already injured face was scrubbed indiscriminately, and now it looked red and swollen.
The skin at the cheekbones was scraped, and as he wiped it, the wound started oozing blood again.
It was unbearable to look at...
Zhang Lingying clicked her tongue, about to say something, but recalled she was reading, and suppressed the words that came to her lips.
She returned her gaze to the book, forcing herself not to focus on Lu Jing.
But not even three seconds passed before she saw Lu Jing about to apply ointment to his face without disinfecting the wound first, and she couldn’t stand it any longer. She put down her book.
"Wait a minute! Is that how you treat a wound?"
Is it because he’s good-looking that he thinks he can do whatever he wants?
Even if he doesn’t care about his face, he shouldn’t be ruining it in front of her.
Zhang Lingying secretly told herself that she just couldn’t bear to see such an immaculate handsome face be ruined by Lu Jing’s own hands. She was just doing a good deed for the day.
She inched closer to Lu Jing, reaching over to take the medical kit from in front of him.
"Turn towards me a bit, lower your head... yes, yes, and then don’t move..."
Zhang Lingying held a cotton swab in one hand and hydrogen peroxide in the other, carefully examining the wounds on Lu Jing’s face while directing him to adjust his position.
Lu Jing was very cooperative throughout, doing whatever she said.
While disinfecting the wound, Zhang Lingying worried she might be too rough and cause him pain.
But Lu Jing didn’t make a sound, sitting obediently in front of her, letting her do as she pleased.
"...The wound seems a bit infected. Don’t let it get wet today, or you might end up with a scar, and don’t blame me then." Zhang Lingying disposed of the used cotton swabs in the trash and packed away the ointment, muttering a couple of things.
She didn’t care whether Lu Jing heard her or not, picked up the first aid kit, and was about to head back to her room.
Just as she took a step, her wrist was suddenly held.
"Don’t go, stay with me for a while."
Zhang Lingying: "..."
"Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you, I just... want someone to talk to." Lu Jing slowly spoke.
He seemed very out of sorts today.
Zhang Lingying furrowed her brow slightly, putting down the first aid kit, "Did something happen?"
