"Must be very painful, right?" Chu Ling'er gently touched it.
"It's nothing, just a minor incident."
"Really?" Chu Ling'er suddenly applied more pressure with her hand.
"Ah!"
Unable to bear it, Li Weijie exclaimed. He didn't expect Chu Ling'er to tease him as well. Could it be that she and Lai Yayan were colluding together?
"Does it hurt? I heard that you need to apply pressure for it to be effective." Chu Ling'er softly said, continuing to rub vigorously.
Only then did Li Weijie realize that she didn't intentionally tease him, but she didn't even notice when she had already applied the medicinal oil and started rubbing.
"Just bear with it a little longer, it will get better soon."
Seeing Li Weijie not saying anything, Chu Ling'er thought he was in pain and quickly comforted him.
"Thank you."
"I should be the one thanking you. If it weren't for you protecting me, the one who would have been hit would be me. Hehe, I've encountered a lucky break this time."
"Hehe, girls like you are meant to be protected. If it were someone like Lai Yayan, the wicked girl, I wouldn't be interested in protecting her." Li Weijie casually joked.
Chu Ling'er chuckled softly, "You're lying. You didn't even see what I looked like back then. Maybe you thought I was an ugly monster. But even so, you still protected me. If it were someone like Yayan, a beautiful girl, you would protect her."
"Yes, she's beautiful, but also fierce. Like a Velociraptor that escaped from Jurassic Park." Li Weijie couldn't help but sigh. He didn't have much favorable impression of the beautiful yet malicious Lai Yayan, even though it was already their third meeting (including the one at the café). The impression of Chu Ling'er from their first meeting was much better.
Hearing Li Weijie's description of Lai Yayan, Chu Ling'er couldn't help but smile, but then quickly defended her friend, "You've misunderstood Yayan.
Although her personality is a bit... straightforward, if you get to know her, you'll find that she's very gentle and kind to people."
Li Weijie tried hard to imagine what a gentle Lai Yayan would look like, but the images that appeared in his mind were either of her drinking and kicking or glaring. He couldn't imagine her looking gentle at all.
"Anyway, you've already cleared things up earlier. Let bygones be bygones. Whether she's a gentle lady or a fierce mother T-rex, it has nothing to do with me."
"You don't have to be like this. After all, you were once friends. Just be more generous." Chu Ling'er suggested, helping to rub the medicine while trying to reconcile the two of them.
"You know what? Last time in City B, I was with Yayan too. So I've heard about your conflicts."
"Ah? She was with you that time too?"
Li Weijie was a little surprised, but then he realized that it was probably another low-profile encounter, avoiding being recognized by people by booking a private bathhouse, just like this time.
"Yes, when you... uh, according to Yayan's words, 'molested' her... Hehe... At that time, we were about to be recognized, so I asked her to come over and help disguise me. She complained about it for a long time afterward, saying that she indirectly defused the situation for you..."
Upon hearing her story, Li Weijie couldn't help but defend himself, "I explained the situation on the plane already. I didn't do anything inappropriate."
"Regardless of whether it was a misunderstanding or a coincidence, the fact is you still touched... her chest, right?" Chu Ling'er's voice became softer and a bit embarrassed.
Li Weijie was speechless. Well, that did happen, but so what? It wasn't intentional. Am I supposed to take responsibility for it? And besides, my ex-girlfriend had been touched many more times...
Thinking of Xiao Lan, Li Weijie felt a little irritated and made an effort not to think about her.
"So, Yayan was angry at that time, which is why she's been targeting you today. If... you could apologize to her, she might forgive you. It's not a big deal, just stop with the grudges." Chu Ling'er advised cautiously.
Although they hadn't known each other for long, she already considered Li Weijie her friend and didn't want to see them at odds.
"Well, I'll see if there's a chance." Li Weijie brushed it off and asked, "Are you done?"
"It should be fine now." Chu Ling'er glanced at his injured area and stopped her motions.
"Weipeng, thank you so much."
Li Weijie sat up and for some reason, whether it was psychological or not, his muscles felt more relaxed. The injury seemed to have improved a lot. He couldn't help but move his arms, elbows, and shoulders to stretch.
At this moment, Chu Ling'er felt extremely awkward.
When she started applying the medicine, he was lying on the bed, and she was only seeing his back.
Now, she was facing his bare upper body, looking into his eyes, which made her feel a bit uncomfortable.
The situation became even more awkward when Li Weijie suddenly sat up, almost leaning towards her. His bare upper body was less than a foot away from her, which made her feel very unnatural.
Chu Ling'er didn't expect him to sit up so quickly, so she hadn't moved back yet. She was still rubbing her hands because they were sore from applying the medicine.
When Chu Ling'er saw Li Weijie's masculine muscles, she was initially just uncomfortable and awkward.
But when he started to move his arms and shoulders, she was afraid of being touched and instinctively leaned back.
Due to the soft and elastic mattress, Chu Ling'er lost her balance and fell backward.
Li Weijie suddenly saw Chu Ling'er exclaim and fall backward.
Although he didn't understand why it happened, he knew something unexpected had occurred and quickly reached out, grabbing her arm and pulling her back.
"Ah..."
Chu Ling'er exclaimed again.
In her panic, she was caught off guard and instinctively leaned forward, and since she was kneeling, the result was her falling into Li Weijie's arms!
At the airport and when they entered the house earlier, Chu Ling'er had already been embraced by Li Weijie twice. It wasn't intentional, but she should not have exclaimed.
However, the situation now was even worse because she had fallen onto Li Weijie, bringing him down onto the bed...
