She glanced at her surroundings. She had indeed been too busy to take care of it today, and now she was so tired that she had forgotten about the pain. She didn't expect that he would notice it as soon as he walked in.
The servant brought over the burn ointment. She wanted to apply it herself, but he snatched it away, opened the lid, and began to dab it on her with a cotton swab.
He didn't speak while he carefully tended to her.
This scene unexpectedly stirred her emotions.
She turned her head away. Her emotions toward him had been confusing lately; she couldn't let them go unchecked any longer.
After Xiao Lijin finished applying the ointment, he looked up, only to see that she wasn't looking at him. What, was he so terrible to look at?
However...
"Done. Once the ointment wears off, I'll apply some more for you. Another two applications tomorrow should pretty much take care of it."
She quickly withdrew her hand, thanked him, and then she was ready to leave.
