Chapter 215 I won’t touch you
Duan Yuchen frowned slightly, stared at Qiao Jingyu with his ink-black eyes, and opened his thin lips slightly: "Stretch out your hand." His voice was low and magnetic, but there was a hint of an unquestionable commanding tone in it.
When Qiao Jingyu heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little confused. She blinked, looked at Duan Yuchen in confusion, and asked softly, "What?" She really didn't understand why he suddenly made such a request.
Duan Yuchen's face was gloomy, and he spoke again: "The hand that was scratched today!" As he spoke, he slowly stretched out his right hand and gently opened a small and exquisite red box placed beside him.
Qiao Jingyu took a closer look and instantly recognized the box - it contained the ointment that Duan Yuchen had given her when she injured her arm and knee last time! At that time, Feng Bo had told her that this ointment was very effective, not only could it help wounds heal quickly, but it could also prevent scars from leaving behind!
The last time she used it, the effect was really good. The wound healed quickly and there was really no scar left. Because of this, she specially kept it away. But now, how could this ointment appear in Duan Yuchen's hands again? Could it be...
A thought suddenly flashed through Qiao Jingyu's mind. She recalled that when she was chatting with Luo Huimin in the living room, Duan Yuchen actually stayed in her room for a long time. Could it be that he spent so much time in his room just to find this box of ointment?
He actually kept his injury in mind all this time? This really surprised Qiao Jingyu. She could imagine how difficult it would be for a blind person to find that small box of ointment in a completely unfamiliar environment relying only on touch and smell!
At this moment, Qiao Jingyu felt as if her heart was filled with sweet honey, and the sweet taste was overflowing; at the same time, it seemed as if a warm current quickly flowed through her body, making her completely immersed in this happy and warm atmosphere. Unconsciously, Qiao Jingyu had a very sweet smile on the corners of her lips, and she said softly: "Third brother, it's just a little injury, I'll take care of it myself!" After speaking, she stretched out her hand to take the ointment from Duan Yuchen's hand.
However, at this moment, Duan Yuchen's voice sounded slightly low: "Are you worried that I can't properly treat your wound?" Qiao Jingyu was startled after hearing this. She clearly detected a hint of depression in Duan Yuchen's words. Could it be that it was because of his blindness that he had such negative feelings? Thinking of this, Qiao Jingyu's heart seemed to be gently scratched by something, and she instantly felt an indescribable feeling of pity. You know, Duan Yuchen always showed an indestructible and powerful image to the outside world, so much so that even Qiao Jingyu would occasionally forget that he was blind.
Duan Yuchen is undoubtedly an extremely outstanding person. Perhaps what he finds most unbearable is being regarded as a disadvantaged group by others. After all, a person as outstanding as him has long been accustomed to the feeling of having everything under control.
Therefore, we must understand that not all acts of care will bring good results, and sometimes they may even have the opposite effect.
At this time, Qiao Jingyu slowly stretched out her arm and said softly, "Third brother, my injury is about 7 centimeters above my wrist."
Hearing this, Duan Yuchen nodded slightly and said, "Okay." Then, he carefully placed Qiao Jingyu's slender jade hand on his strong thigh. Then, he picked up a cotton swab, dipped some ointment, and then gently covered Qiao Jingyu's injured area with his broad palm. His movements were particularly gentle, as if he was afraid of hurting Qiao Jingyu. Just like that, he slowly and evenly applied the ointment on the scar.
At this moment, Qiao Jingyu stared at Duan Yuchen's handsome and elegant face. His thin lips were slightly pursed, and his expression was extremely focused, as if he was engaged in a vital mission.
At this moment, Qiao Jingyu felt her heart beating rapidly like a wild horse. She could no longer deceive herself and deny the growing feelings for Duan Yuchen in her heart.
During the time spent with Duan Yuchen, his meticulous care, occasional intimate actions and undisguised doting all made Qiao Jingyu deeply feel that Duan Yuchen might also like her.
However, the pain of being cruelly betrayed by Song Chengze in her previous life is still vivid in her mind, like a deep scar engraved in her heart. Because of this, she can no longer easily open her closed heart and give her true heart without reservation. Not only that, she knows that there is a huge difference between herself and Duan Yuchen - both in status and living environment. More importantly, although she believes that Duan Yuchen is interested in her deep in her heart, he has never expressed this love in person. Various factors are intertwined, so that even if Qiao Jingyu noticed Duan Yuchen's feelings, she still hesitated and did not even dare to take a step closer to him.
At this moment, Duan Yuchen's deep and magnetic voice suddenly sounded: "Did you hear what my grandma said just now?" This sentence was like a thunder, instantly pulling Qiao Jingyu's wandering thoughts back to reality. In an instant, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and her cheeks involuntarily flushed. In panic, she quickly denied it, "No... No!"
Duan Yuchen's lips slightly raised, outlining a faint arc. In fact, with his extraordinary keen hearing, he had clearly caught the sound of Qiao Jingyu's approaching footsteps as early as when she walked out of the bathroom. However, he did not expose her lie on the spot, but chose to lower his head and treat Qiao Jingyu's wound with a focused and gentle expression.
After treating the wound, Duan Yuchen placed the ointment on the bedside table and said, "Apply it again tomorrow and it will heal."
Duan Yuchen got up and went to the bathroom to wash his hands. When he came back and touched the empty bed, he heard a sound not far away, "What are you doing?"
As Qiao Jingyu spread the quilt, she said, "I'm sleeping on the floor."
Duan Yuchen stood up and walked to Qiao Jingyu, bent down, touched the quilt on the ground, and then folded it.
"Third brother, what are you doing?" Qiao Jingyu asked.
"The floor is too cold, it's not good for your health." Duan Yuchen put the quilt on the bed.
"But where can I sleep if not on the floor?" Qiao Jingyu also wanted to sleep on the sofa in the living room, but she was afraid that Luo Huimin would get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and see her sleeping on the sofa. Wouldn't that expose her identity as a fake girlfriend?
"In bed."
"how about you?"
"In bed, too."
"..."Qiao Jingyu's heart suddenly started beating wildly again. She really couldn't sleep in the same bed with Duan Yuchen anymore. She couldn't let herself fall deeper and deeper.
Duan Yuchen walked over and took Qiao Jingyu's hand and walked towards the bed, "Don't worry, I won't touch you."
