Xiaosi carefully laid Caihong on the bed. Elder Sun checked her ankle and nodded to himself. He looked at Mia and asked her to bring some herbs.
Two minutes later, Elder Sun was applying meticulously a herbal paste on her bruise. Caihong softly gasped in pain and shut her eyes. Suddenly, she felt Xiaosi squeeze her hand. She slowly opened her eyes and glanced at him.
"Just a bit more. It won't hurt after this, okay?" He mumbled.
She wasn't sure if he was consoling her or himself. She stared at his tense expression that watched and traced Elder Sun's every movement as he treated her sprained ankle. He would occasionally knit his brows or jump in his place as he saw the wound.
"Careful!" Xiaosi narrowed his eyes. "Don't press too much on her bruise. It will hurt!"
Caihong slightly widened her eyes at his... concern. Her eyelashes trembled and she gently lowered them.
