Chapter 58 Applying Medicine
Lin Shuyao unscrewed the medicated wine, poured some into her palm, rubbed her hands together to warm them, and then gently placed her palms on Cheng Zheng's shoulder.
The moment her palm touched his skin, Cheng Zheng felt a tiny electric current surge through the area of contact, his back suddenly stiffened, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.
"Relax, don't be so tense, you're digging into my hand." Lin Shuyao chuckled, her tone alluring, like a fairy advising Tang Sanzang.
Cheng Zheng wanted to relax, but his body wouldn't obey him. Every time she moved her palm, the muscles in his back would involuntarily contract, and his Adam's apple would bob up and down slightly.
He pursed his lips, forcing himself to hold back.
"Did I hurt you?" Lin Shuyao asked from behind him, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. "If it hurts, I'll blow on it for you."
"No—" Before Cheng Zheng could answer, Lin Shuyao lowered her head and gently blew on the injured area on his back.
The warm breath sprayed onto his wheat-colored skin, like a soft feather brushing against him, or like a taut string being plucked twice. The lingering sound resonated, and a strange sensation instantly surged up from his tailbone.
"Stop messing around." Cheng Zheng's Adam's apple bobbed twice, his voice a little hoarse.
"Does it still hurt? Let me blow on it again."
Lin Shuyao took the opportunity to blow on his skin a couple more times, her lips lightly brushing against his skin as she blew. Of course, she didn't brush the areas where the medicine was applied; she brushed the areas where no medicine was applied.
Cheng Zheng immediately felt an even softer touch on his back than before, an indescribable softness, like… Her rosy lips flashed through his mind, and his voice suddenly became extremely hoarse: “It doesn’t hurt.”
No need to blow it for him.
Lin Shuyao wasn't embarrassed at all, and said softly, "Then I'll continue applying the medicine for you. Let me know if you feel uncomfortable."
Her soft little hands roamed along his undulating back, more like touching and caressing than kneading.
The tingling, itchy sensation, like scratching an itch through a boot, made Cheng Zheng's lower abdomen tighten and his veins throb.
"Are you done?"
He couldn't take it anymore, so he turned his head slightly back and asked in a hoarse voice.
"Not yet. The medicinal wine needs to be mixed well, otherwise it won't be effective."
Lin Shuyao spoke seriously, but her eyes revealed a sly smile. Her small hand followed his beautiful spine downwards. Cheng Zheng's body was taut like a fully drawn bow, and the veins on his neck throbbed with the rush of blood.
Lin Shuyao, with a mischievous grin, leaned close to his neck, pouted her red lips, and blew a breath onto the faintly throbbing veins.
Cheng Zheng suddenly stood up, his movement so fast that he knocked over the chair he was sitting on. With his back to her, his hands, hanging at his sides, unconsciously clenched into fists as he tried his best to control his rapid breathing.
"Okay! Give me the clothes."
Lin Shuyao wouldn't give it to her. She slowly screwed the cap back on the medicine bottle. "Oh dear, why are your ears so red? Was the medicinal wine too strong?"
Cheng Zheng's eyes were deep and his lips were pressed together; he didn't know how to answer his question for a moment.
She deliberately walked around to stand in front of him, looked up at him with an innocent gaze. Cheng Zheng lowered his eyes and met her unbelievably beautiful face. Her almond-shaped eyes were watery, like they held a pool of clear spring water. Her eyes were innocent and charming as they moved. He swallowed hard, remained silent for half a second, and then restrained himself and looked away, turning to find his clothes.
"Oh dear, you're injured. How can you dress yourself?"
Lin Shuyao reacted quickly, snatching the shirt he had placed on the table, hanging it on her arm, and waving her hand at him, "I have some medicated wine on my hands, let me wash them first."
"Give it to me. I can wear it myself," Cheng Zheng said in a hoarse voice.
"No, you can't." Lin Shuyao half-pleaded, half-whined, as she nimbly lifted the curtain and walked to the counter. "Doctor, where's the place to wash my hands?"
The old doctor pushed up his reading glasses and pointed in a direction for her.
Lin Shuyao went to wash her hands.
Cheng Zheng was still standing in the area blocked by the curtain, without any clothes on. He couldn't go out and move around, so he could only wait for Lin Shuyao to return.
After washing her hands, Lin Shuyao went back and smiled apologetically at him: "Have you been waiting long? Let me help you get dressed."
"No need, I can do it myself," Cheng Zheng insisted.
Lin Shuyao said coquettishly, "I want to help you put it on. I want to!"
Cheng Zheng stared at her with his dark eyes. Lin Shuyao twisted her body and stomped her feet a couple of times, like a child. Cheng Zheng couldn't do anything about her, so he said with a stern face, "Then hurry up and put it on."
Lin Shuyao curled her lips smugly, and shook his shirt open with both hands: "Then sit down first, you're so tall, I can't reach you."
Cheng Zheng took two steps back and sat down on the bench where he had been sitting.
"Put your hands inside your sleeves," Lin Shuyao commanded.
Cheng Zheng raised his arm and put it into his sleeve. Lin Shuyao smiled and said, "Good boy, well done."
The tone was like someone scolding a dog.
Cheng Zheng, who was dressed normally, immediately frowned upon hearing this.
Lin Shuyao smiled and said, "Who told you to be so obedient to me just now, like my Wangcai?"
Cheng Zheng stood up, his dark eyes locking onto her: "What do you take me for?"
Lin Shuyao gave him an expression that said, "Of course I consider you my savior. How could I possibly treat you like a dog?"
"Don't think I can't tell." Cheng Zheng's expression darkened further.
"I was just complimenting you. Oh, don't be angry. How about I treat you to dinner? Let's go eat." Lin Shuyao smiled sweetly at him. She was beautiful, and her smile made her even more radiant. Even the angrier person couldn't stay angry after seeing her face.
Cheng Zheng, with a stern face, buttoned up his shirt: "No need for dinner. It's getting late, I'll take you back to your dorm."
Lin Shuyao: "I'm a bit rushed today, how about I treat you another day? Anyway, you saved me, so it's only right that I repay your kindness. If you won't let me treat you to a meal, then I'll have to repay you in another way. What's that saying again... 'A life-saving favor... repay with your body'?"
"Alright, keep your little bit of bonus for yourself. Let's go."
Cheng Zheng went to the counter to pay the old man's consultation fee.
Lin Shuyao followed behind him, her cheeks puffed out. What was that all about? It was the first time she had so eagerly offered herself to him, and he had completely ignored her.
If it weren't for the need to survive in the factory, would she be so proactive?
dog man!
As the two walked out of the clinic, Lin Shuyao glanced at Cheng Zheng and asked, "Comrade Cheng Zheng, what time is it?"
Cheng Zheng glanced at his watch: "7:45. What? Aren't you going back to the dorm? It's so late, where do you think you're going? Haven't you learned your lesson yet?"
Lin Shu-yao: "But I made plans with Gao Ting-ting to see a movie at 8 pm. After we finish the movie, her childhood friend will pick us up and take me back to my dorm, so you don't need to worry. But could you give me a ride to the movie theater now since you're going that way?"
Cheng Zheng glanced at her, then turned and walked away. Lin Shuyao was still standing there, stunned. What did this mean? Was he not going to see her off?
Cheng Zheng took a few steps, then turned back when he saw she hadn't followed and said, "What are you standing there for? Aren't you going to see the movie?"
Go! Go! Go.
Lin Shuyao's smile returned, and she quickly followed.
