They went outside and sat on the metal bench. Mu Ziyu opened the medicinal wine and poured it onto his palm. Then he gently applied the medicine on Shuishui's forehead.
Shuishui wanted to dodge, but Mu Ziyu said gently, "Don't move. We should apply the medicine and rub it. It will reduce the swelling."
She looked away awkwardly because Mu Ziyu's intention was good. Moreover, the car accident was not Mu Ziyu's fault. It was the person driving the sports car who had violated the regulations. The smell of mint made her feel helpless. She rarely got so close to a man. When she looked up, she saw his fair skin and his Adam's apple.
However, Shuishui was not a child. She was very mature.
Although her forehead was stinging, his hands were very gentle. She felt that the swelling on her forehead had slowly subsided. After a while, he stopped and cleaned the medicine on his hands. When he returned, he applied ointment on Shuishui. "All right. I'll take you out so you can eat something. Then I'll send you home."
It was already past seven o'clock. By that time, Shuishui was already hungry.
Shuishui was still not used to it. "Well, I can go back by myself. If you have something to do, you can go back to work. It's okay."
She really did not want anything to do with him. She was very tactful towards Mu Ziyu.
How could he not hear Shuishui's displeasure? He could not help but be a little concerned and said, "It's okay. I'm not busy. You don't have to worry about my time. What do you want to eat?"
Shuishui was embarrassed. She could not be cold towards Mu Ziyu. After all, he was Mu Zilin's brother and he had not done anything wrong. She could not calm down and only wanted to go and finish eating as soon as possible. "If that's the case, just eat something as well. Why don't we go to the food stall?"
Mu Ziyu suddenly had an idea. "Sure. I know a place that has pretty good food."
Shuishui followed him indifferently. They hailed a taxi outside the hospital and went to the place that Mu Ziyu mentioned. She thought they were going to a food stall, but when they arrived, she found out that although it was also a food stall, it was much more advanced and had a good number of people. They walked in and asked for a table for four people. The waiter took the menu and asked, "Would you like to eat seafood or home-cooked dishes?"
Mu Ziyu looked at Shuishui. Shuishui thought for a moment and looked at the menu. Shuishui followed her own preference, but she found that judging by the names and introductions, the home-cooked dishes were pretty good. "Do you like seafood or home-cooked dishes?"
Shuishui asked Mu Ziyu while her hand flipped through the menu.
"You can choose anything." Mu Ziyu smiled faintly and looked at Shuishui with a trace of inquiry in his eyes.
Shuishui freely chose for their order. The seafood in the shop was generally low to mid-priced. There were no abalones, just some common ones. The price was not bad. "Give us a steamed turbot, garlic glazed prawns, scallops with vermicelli, and a portion of boiled fish and chopped fish head."
Shuishui flipped the page. "I want a cold bean curd and cabbage."
Mu Ziyu felt that Shuishui was also a foodie. "The taste of the food here is not bad. I should be able to satisfy you."
"I hope." Shuishui spat out two words and did not say anything else.
When the dishes were served, Shuishui moved her chopsticks. On the first bite, she felt quite surprised. The taste exceeded her expectations. "The fish is very tender and well-processed. There is no fishy smell."
"Right?" Mu Ziyu couldn't help but smile when he saw Shuishui eating. When Shuishui ate something and she liked it, it would show on her face. She would reveal her happy mood, and her eyes would smile.
When she ate, she was also very elegant.
He unconsciously smiled and helped Shuishui pick up food from the dishes.
Shuishui was happy because it was time to eat. When she ate food that she liked, she would be very happy. The food in this place was well-prepared, and this immediately made her feel good.
After a while, Shuishui realized that she had been eating but Mu Ziyu had not moved much. "Well, you eat too. I definitely won't be able to finish it all by myself."
"Okay, okay." Mu Ziyu also moved his chopsticks.
"Actually, there are wild fish here. The taste is not bad, but its availability depends on the season." He took the initiative to chat with Shuishui.
"You can try it. The taste is pretty good." Shuishui had indeed remembered the place. After all, in this city, it was good to find a few good places to eat at.
There were a few women sitting at the table next to them. Shuishui was eating quietly, but she could overhear them. Shuishui felt that they intended to speak loudly so they could be heard.
"Are they brother and sister?"
"I guess so. They can't be boyfriend and girlfriend. They don't appear to be very close." A girl with big wavy hair laughed and slightly lowered her voice.
Shuishui looked at Mu Ziyu. She didn't believe that he didn't hear them, but when she saw his indifferent expression, as if he didn't hear them, she held back and gave him a thumbs-up. Indeed, handsome men were easy to attract.
The girls at the table beside them became more and more excited as they spoke. They even wanted to take the initiative to strike up a conversation. After all, there seemed to be a veil between Shuishui and Mu Ziyu.
At that moment, Mu Ziyu stood up and said, "Shuishui, I'm going to pay the bill."
"Yes, yes." Shuishui nodded and continued eating.
There was an ***** woman sitting beside Shuishui. She smiled falsely and said, "Little sister, does your brother have a girlfriend?"
"Hmm?" Shuishui was a little confused.
"Your brother—does he have a girlfriend?" she asked again.
Shuishui shook her head. "I don't know. Besides, he's not my brother."
"If he's not your brother, then who is he? He can't be your boyfriend, right?" The woman clearly did not believe it.
