Chapter 1725: She Is Actually Rather Adorable (15)
Lu Nanze: …!
He stared at Traceless’ naked shoulder in front of him.
Perhaps because she was always hidden in the darkness of the night, her skin glowed in its paleness. He gulped helplessly at the sensual curves of her shoulders and collarbone.
He took another look. She had unreservedly taken off her top to reveal her exquisite body.
As the man looked at her, he felt his ears burn. He quickly looked away.
Coughing slightly, he reached for a towel on the side and draped it over her shoulder.
Qiao Yiyi: …
She turned and looked at Lu Nanze with a puzzled expression.
What was this guy up to?
The first time he had dressed her wound, hadn’t he insisted that she bore with it for he had not done this before and wasn’t quite sure how to do it?
So why had he covered her again this time?
As she pondered this, Lu Nanze started to explain, “I didn’t know how to do it, but now I do. You don’t have to put up with it now.”
Qiao Yiyi didn’t think too much about it and grunted an acknowledgement.
The first time she had felt slightly embarra.s.sed but this was the third time, it didn’t matter anymore.
In any case, when she had pa.s.sed out the other day, apart from her face, the man had probably seen every other part of her body.
The girl, however, did not realize the odd expression on the man’s face as she sat there, quietly allowing him to dress her wound.
Lu Nanze stared at the unpleasant wound, suddenly at a loss as to how he should proceed.
Clearly, this hadn’t been a problem two days ago, when he had been able to unblinkingly cut open her wound with a pair of tweezers, and then dug into it to retrieve the bullet lodged inside. But now, as he looked at the wound, he couldn’t help thinking and wondering why he had never studied first-aid treatments.
The wound, how it was cut and the st.i.tching, was simply too horrific to look at.
Traceless’ body was clean and flawless, but this wound would leave a scar.
At this thought, he consciously became gentler in his actions.
When he had finally cleaned up the wound and applied a fresh layer of medicine, he took out a gauze and dressed the injury.
Once this was done, he realized how tired his hand was.
Qiao Yiyi had also turned quite pale.
It was such a large gaping wound that it would almost be impossible to expect a scab after five days.
She wasn’t quite sure if she would be able to successfully complete her a.s.signment in five days.
She was slightly anxious, hence she completely did not realize the changes in Lu Nanze’s emotions.
After she had put her clothes back on, she looked at the man and said, “If I can’t do it in five days, then we might have to delay it two days. You can see for yourself the state my body is in. I may not be able to recover in five days. Seven days would be a safer bet.”
Lu Nanze nodded upon hearing this.
Her cold and casual remark—”You can see for yourself the state my body is in”—oddly echoed in his mind and he couldn’t stop his ears from blus.h.i.+ng.
“Mr. Lu, are you feeling sick today?”
Lu Nanze replied, “No, not at all!”
Traceless pointed out, “Then why do your ears look so flushed?”
Exasperated, the man replied, “I’m tired from dressing your wound!”
Traceless: …
She had no idea what that sudden outburst was about, but she smiled awkwardly as she gathered her belongings. “Well then Mr. Lu, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be on my way now.”
On this note, she once again jumped out of the window without even looking back once.
He stared at her disappearing figue and contemplated her heroic boldness and bravery. Suddenly, his heart ached.
Almost unaware of his own actions, the man dashed to the window. Traceless’ figure was about to disappear into the darkness.
He immediately shouted out, “Traceless! I have something to tell you!”
