[Pouting * N]
Jun Wuyuan looked helpless on the surface, but he was secretly thrilled inside.
Ling Shan was really speechless.
However, thinking about his various actions today, she thought it would be better to pretend not to know and act gentle and worried to make him even happier.
"Shanshan, be obedient. Let go of me first. Otherwise, your clothes will get wet, and what if you catch a cold?"
[Even if you adore and worry about me so much, you should still take care of your own body. You're really being disobedient (pouting)]
Looking at Ling Shan, whose eyes and heart were filled with nothing but him, Jun Wuyuan felt his heart soften like water.
It seemed that as long as Ling Shan's eyes were on him, the pain from his wounds didn't feel so bad.
Ling Shan: "..."
How come she didn't know she had such a magical effect?
Could she even heal his wounds?
Jun Wuyuan was really annoying. In such a good atmosphere, he had to think about such absurd things. The mood she had been building up was completely ruined!
How annoying!
"I don't care."
Ling Shan closed her eyes and gently hugged him again. Imagining herself as the heroine in a Qiong Yao novel, her eyes were red as she said,
"Your Majesty, don't try to change the subject. I'm not afraid. Let me take a look at your wounds first."
Really.
What could Jun Wuyuan do? He seemed helpless, but in fact, he was secretly thrilled inside.
Naturally, he had no choice but to obediently follow. He took Ling Shan's hand, first loosened his wet clothes, and led her to a flat boulder. He helped her sit down on it by holding her shoulders.
The corner of his lips curled up in a half - smile, a hint of thrill showing. His eyes were filled with helpless indulgence as he obediently turned around.
He had quite a few wounds on his body. The most serious ones were the bloodstains left by the tiger on his back.
The sharp claws had torn through his brocade robe, revealing the already hideous wounds. Soaked in the rain, the blood welled up, and the sight made Ling Shan's heart ache terribly.
Her fingertips unconsciously landed on the torn fabric. The gaping wounds were like blood - filled mouths with sharp teeth, swallowing Ling Shan's heart.
These wounds shouldn't have been on Jun Wuyuan's back. He was an emperor now.
Even if he hadn't yet taken full control of the court, even if he had once been a poor little thing abandoned in the cold palace...
However, Jun Wuyuan was now the emperor sitting on top of the world. There were countless people willing to sacrifice their lives for him.
Jun Wuyuan shouldn't even have a single hair on his head damaged, but...
Today, he chose to protect her with his back.
Obviously, when faced with two bad options, he should have thrown her, the ticking time bomb, away. Even if she was really torn apart by the tiger, it would have been her own bad luck.
No one was obligated to stand behind others regardless of the consequences and even sacrifice their lives.
Ling Shan was a ruthless and cold - hearted person. Kindness and sincerity, such rare things, had long disappeared during her struggles in the mud.
The Ling Shan that Jun Wuyuan thought was madly in love with him and innocent and kind was not the real her at all.
However, Jun Wuyuan still didn't choose to abandon her.
At this moment, Ling Shan's eyes were truly filled with a burning heat. Her fingers trembled slightly and she didn't dare to touch the wounds for a long time.
The smile on Jun Wuyuan's lips gradually faded. It seemed that he sensed the gradually depressed mood behind him. Without turning around, he reached back and held the trembling hand.
His heart softened, and his voice was extremely gentle as he said,
"Shanshan, I'm fine. Help me apply the medicine, okay? Don't think too much."
Ling Shan's eyelids trembled. After swallowing hard, she finally let out a soft "Okay."
The hidden guards quickly brought up the wound medicine, gauze and other things, and then quickly retreated to guard the surroundings.
It was still raining outside the cave, and there was a bit of chill in the air. But inside the cave, a touch of tender warmth gradually rose.
Ling Shan had just taken those things and hadn't had a chance to start yet when she felt a warm sensation coming from her back.
It was like a gentle stream, silently flowing through her depressed heart and warming it little by little.
Ling Shan's eyelids trembled again.
The heat in her eyes hadn't dissipated yet, but the corner of her lips had already quietly curled up.
In just a moment, Ling Shan felt warm all over, from the soles of her feet to the tips of her hair. It made her heart feel sunny, with no sign of the gloomy rain.
"Okay, I'll trouble our Shanshan to help me apply the medicine."
Ling Shan looked at Jun Wuyuan, who was extremely handsome with steam still rising from his hair as he walked around. He gently squatted down beside her.
Boom!
Ling Shan felt as if her heart had been torn open by this scene in front of her.
The dampness on Jun Wuyuan's body had only left wrinkled and dry clothes. His hair was messy and a bit disheveled.
But he just squatted there obediently, looking up at her, inexplicably creating a sense of throbbing and tenderness.
"Your Majesty, you..."
The words that had been echoing in her throat earlier finally didn't come out.
Ling Shan lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in them and the tremor in her throat.
"It will hurt a bit, Your Majesty. Bear with it."
"I'm not afraid of pain. Shanshan, don't be afraid either."
[I knew Shanshan would be extremely worried. Tsk, if it weren't for the wrong time and place, I really would like to give her a good hug...]
Ling Shan: "..."
Her long eyelashes fluttered. Ling Shan took a deep breath and drove all the random thoughts out of her mind. She focused on simply applying the medicine.
The place was simple, but fortunately, the wound medicine was of the highest quality. At least it could stop the bleeding and prevent inflammation.
For some reason, Jun Wuyuan was extremely obedient all the time, like a fluffy but obedient big dog. His sparkling peach - blossom eyes were filled with little glimmers, which made people can't help but lighten their movements.
"Are you afraid?"
After everything was over, the obedient big dog suddenly became strong and domineering.
As if the wounds and bruises on his body didn't exist, he reached out and hugged Ling Shan onto his lap. His fingers gently stroked the back of her neck.
"I'm not afraid."
Ling Shan reached out and wrapped her arms around Jun Wuyuan's neck. She leaned her face against his shoulder. Her voice was soft but firm as she said,
"I'm just worried. Your Majesty, don't leave me alone behind you next time. Instead of waiting safely, Shanshan would rather stay by Your Majesty's side. Even if it's full of dangers, I'm not afraid."
The hand on Jun Wuyuan's neck paused. His heart suddenly surged with emotion.
Overwhelmed with indescribable passion, Jun Wuyuan felt the delicate and soft touch on the side of his neck. His heart softened like water.
[What a silly and stupid girl!]
Ling Shan: "..."
Her fingers unconsciously tightened and rubbed. Her teeth were clenched, as if she was gnashing her teeth.
Just speak properly!
"You're not afraid, but I can't bear to let you get hurt."
Jun Wuyuan's eyes were gentle as he stared at Ling Shan without blinking. His voice was like water that could penetrate a copper wall.
