Seeing this scene, Chunxiao and the others hiding aside instinctively covered their eyes. Even Black Wind turned around with its back to the two of them.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Su Yuanyuan was choked by the dust and coughed twice. She propped herself up with one hand and waved the other in front of her nose.
At this moment, she suddenly felt that the touch under her palm was a bit strange. It seemed... not only was it not uncomfortable, but it was also very warm.
Feeling a bit confused, Su Yuanyuan opened her eyes and first met a pair of light-colored eyes.
The early morning sunlight shone down from above, and the light refracted gorgeous colors in his seemingly cold yet extremely clear eyes, instantly captivating Su Yuanyuan deeply.
They were like two fine jewels.
Strangely enough, most of the people she had met had either black or brown eyes. It was extremely rare for someone to have such light-colored pupils like his. She couldn't help but wonder what an extraordinary beauty his mother must be...
"Cough." The thing under her palm trembled, and the man in front of her said, "Little girl, have you touched enough?"
Su Yuanyuan suddenly came to her senses. Then, following his gaze, she looked at her own palm and saw that it was pressing on his chest. And the position of the two of them was...
It was as if a fuse had been lit by a fire. Su Yuanyuan felt her whole body burning. She quickly let go of her hand and got up from the ground, turning her eyes away and not daring to look at him. She stammered, "I, I, you, I didn't mean to."
Xiao Ba endured it and didn't tell Su Yuanyuan that just now, Cang Xuan's two hands had been holding her waist.
Just when Su Yuanyuan was feeling uneasy and didn't know what to do, she heard a slight gasp from the man beside her: "Hiss."
Unable to hold back, she looked in the direction of Cang Xuan and saw him covering his left shoulder. His brows were tightly furrowed, and his face didn't look very good.
That place...
Su Yuanyuan remembered that the place he was covering had been seriously injured and poisoned before. Although so much time had passed, there must still be some aftereffects. Could it be that the old injury had flared up after she had knocked him down just now?
At this moment, Su Yuanyuan didn't care about her shyness at all. She quickly stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Brother Yun Jian, are you okay? Did I hurt you when I bumped into you just now?"
Cang Xuan said, "It's okay. It has nothing to do with you. I was just careless."
If he had blamed it on her, it would have been okay. After all, it was she who had knocked him down. If he hadn't cushioned her fall, she might have gotten some bruises on her body.
But he actually said it was okay, which instantly stirred up Su Yuanyuan's guilt.
"Are you really okay? Let me take a look at it for you." As she said this, Su Yuanyuan grabbed Cang Xuan's sleeve and was about to lead him into the house.
"I've been learning medicine from the doctor of Prince Qingjun's Mansion recently. I'm sure I can treat your wound properly this time. I won't be as hasty as I was last time."
She didn't realize how bold her words and actions were. The worry in her heart made her temporarily forget that in the eyes of outsiders, their relationship wasn't very deep, and such actions were already extremely intimate.
Just like this, Cang Xuan was pulled into the house by Su Yuanyuan.
Watching the figures of the two disappear in front of them, Chunxiao and Caiyun Zhuoyue were okay, but the other maids widened their eyes and opened their mouths as if they could fit an egg in them.
"Do we... still need to go in and serve them?" Qiushuang asked in a low voice.
Caiyun glanced at Chunxiao, and Chunxiao said, "Wait outside. Just wait for the young lady to call."
After a pause, she added, "Prince Cang is the young lady's adopted brother, and he protected the young lady in the Xuan King's Mansion. It's only natural for the young lady to treat his injury. But to avoid being gossiped about, don't say a word about what happened in the courtyard today. Do you understand?"
The maids all listened to Chunxiao very much. Hearing this, they all nodded and said, "Yes."
Inside the house, Su Yuanyuan pressed Cang Xuan onto a chair. She rummaged through the box and found some medical supplies such as wound medicine and gauze. Then she went back to Cang Xuan and without saying a word, started to pull at his clothes.
Her wrist was grabbed by someone. Cang Xuan said, "Little girl, do you know what you're doing?"
The tips of Su Yuanyuan's ears were already completely red, and her heart was beating very fast. Of course, she knew what she was doing and what this action meant. But she wasn't going to let him catch her feelings so easily.
Blinking her eyes, she said, "I'm treating your injury. Brother Yun Jian, aren't you embarrassed? Don't worry. I went to feel the pulses of my second and third brothers early this morning. I'm familiar with this."
These words were so familiar that they made Cang Xuan think of the time when he had sneaked into her room. When he was treating her injury, she had said a sentence that he still remembered vividly to this day.
"In that case, you don't need to do it yourself. I'll do it."
After Cang Xuan said this, he let go of her wrist and started to untie his belt.
The man's movements were not only elegant but also carried a hint of nobility and laziness. Coupled with his demonic face and his long, black, and flowing hair, it was enough to make all women scream and go crazy.
At first, when Su Yuanyuan saw him take the initiative to undress, she was so scared that she closed her eyes. Her heart was beating even faster than before.
But then she thought that she had already seen his body before. What was there to be afraid of?
Moreover, if she really wanted to learn to be a doctor, she would inevitably have to come into contact with people, including men. If she backed down now, how could she treat patients in the future?
So, she opened her eyes again and looked at him boldly.
Watching as Cang Xuan loosened his belt and his outer robe slid off his shoulders, revealing his long neck and prominent Adam's apple, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva. Her eyes uncontrollably looked at his chest.
His long and fair fingers hooked the collar of his inner robe. Just as he was about to take off his inner robe, suddenly, there came Wei Linlang's extremely hearty voice from outside: "Yuanbao, are you in the room?"
Oh no! Sister-in-law is here!
Su Yuanyuan was so scared that her face turned pale. Immediately, she reached out her hand to gather up the clothes that Cang Xuan had undone, randomly tied his belt for him, and pushed him hard behind the screen.
"Hide here and don't make a sound!"
After saying this, Su Yuanyuan rushed out of the room in a hurry. Standing behind the screen, looking at Su Yuanyuan's panicked back and her ears that were red as if they were bleeding, Cang Xuan let out two soft laughs.
Looking down, his clothes were in a mess, and the belt had been tied into a tight knot by Su Yuanyuan in a hurry. Anyone who saw him would think that he was the one who had been bullied.
He was a bit regretful. He had originally wanted to ask if he could compare to her two brothers now.
Forget it. The little girl seemed like a clawing cat, but in fact, she was more like a rabbit that would kick with its legs when cornered.
