Chapter 416 - Too Close

Xu Xiyan let Huo Yunshen sit on the couch as she went to fetch the first aid box.

��Give me your hands,�� Xu Xiyan said as she kneeled in front of him and looked at him with her head up. She could clearly see a hint of tears under Huo Yunshen��s eyes.

Huo Yunshen tried to avoid his gaze. He was still wondering whether he was in a dream or not.

His heart was hit with mixed feelings, happy, sad, but the thing he wanted most at that moment was not to break the calmness that he was feeling.

Xu Xiyan took Huo Yunshen��s hands and pulled them towards her.

His hands were covered in blood and shrapnel from the glass. She could feel her heart being stabbed once again.

What would he do if I wasn��t here today�� Would he just sit there and let himself bleed dry?

Xu Xiyan frowned and bit her lips. She took out a pair of tweezers and plucked the glass away gently.

Huo Yunshen looked at her, his eyebrows frowning as she picked the glass out of his hand.

Xu Xiyan took out a cotton bud and dabbed it in disinfectant after she��d removed all the glasses from his hands.

��This might hurt,�� Xu Xiyan warned.

��Okay.��

Even with her warning, Huo Yunshen still shook from the pain when the disinfectant went into his wounds.

��Just blow on it if it hurts,�� Xu Xiyan suggested as she blew on his palm.

������ Huo Yunshen was trying to hold back his laughter. Is she treating me as a child? Do I really look that weak right now?

Yet, it was as if the warm wind that she blew from his mouth had magic in it as the pain started to fade.

After she��d cleaned the blood off his hands, deep wounds could clearly be seen in his palms.

She applied medicine on his hands and wrapped them up like huge oranges.

Xu Xiyan did that on purpose. With his hands wrapped up tightly, he couldn��t do anything on his own, even control his wheelchair. She��d decided to take care of him.

Xu Xiyan also noticed that his knees were bleeding, staining his grey pants red.

��Hey, are your knees hurt, too? Take off your pants and let me see,�� Xu Xiyan ordered.

Xu Xiyan was so worried about him that she did not care about how weird it sounded and tried to unbuckle his belt.

��It��s okay, I��m fine,�� Huo Yunshen said as he stopped her. He was embarrassed by the fact that a girl that has no intimate relationship with him was about to help him undress.

��What do you mean you��re okay? You��re bleeding!�� Xu Xiyan said. ��If you don��t let me check, then I��ll have to carry you to the hospital.��

��You don��t need to do that,�� Huo Yunshen said instantly.

��Then stay still and be a good boy,�� Xu Xiyan smiled.

������ Huo Yunshen was already speechless on how weird their relationship was. It was like he was the girl and Xu Xiyan was the man.
