Up until this moment, Li Mingxi still didn’t believe in everlasting love.
She believed that Xiao Lang truly loved her and believed he would do many things for her.
At the same time, she also believed that as time went on, Xiao Lang would forget her and fall in love with someone else.
It’s not that she thought Xiao Lang’s love wasn’t deep enough.
It’s mainly because, before the passage of time, everything disappears without a trace.
Back then, Xiao Lang loved Jian Yufei so much, but didn’t he eventually forget her?
So she was confident Xiao Lang would forget her too.
No matter who he loves in the future, it’s better than loving her.
That’s why in the coming half-month, she mustn’t soften up or give him more hope.
And what she could have would only be this half-month.
...
After dinner, Li Mingxi ignored Xiao Lang.
The sky had already turned dark. Li Mingxi had a bit of a headache, would they be XXOO tonight?
She didn’t oppose having a relationship with him.
But he threatened her and deceived her; she truly couldn’t willingly do what with him.
Xiao Lang, no longer needing to pretend to be blind, said to her: "You should take a shower first. In the bathroom, everything you’re used to using has been prepared."
Li Mingxi reluctantly went to take a shower first.
The bathroom had many new toiletries, all her usual brands.
Li Mingxi didn’t use the bathtub; she directly turned on the showerhead and stood underneath to rinse off.
After she finished showering, she wrapped herself in a robe, dried her hair, and then opened the door to leave.
Xiao Lang had also returned to the bedroom.
Li Mingxi saw him, feeling awkward inside, but looked calm on the surface.
"I’ve showered; I’m going to sleep first."
She lifted the quilt, lay down directly, and then turned over to face away from him.
Xiao Lang looked at her back and smiled slightly.
It was only after hearing Xiao Lang enter the bathroom that Li Mingxi dared to turn over.
Even though she’d spent a night here before, she still couldn’t relax.
If Xiao Lang wanted to do something to her later, should she refuse, or accept?
Li Mingxi kept wrestling with this question.
Soon, Xiao Lang came out.
He wore only black shorts, unabashedly exposing his strong, muscular body.
Li Mingxi glanced at his body calmly, not even a hint of shyness.
It’s not like she hadn’t seen a man’s body before.
She’s dissected so many!
But she only glanced briefly, then closed her eyes, pretending to sleep.
Listening to the sounds of rustling, Xiao Lang got into bed and sat down beside her.
"Help me apply the medicine," Xiao Lang said.
Li Mingxi opened her eyes, and Xiao Lang pointed to the wound on his arm.
"I think if you do it, it should be bandaged better."
Only then did Li Mingxi notice that he had many scratches on his body, some places even bruised.
Near his shoulder on his left arm, it seemed a piece of skin had been rubbed off; the wound looked quite severe.
She got up, frowned, and said, "You shouldn’t bathe when you have injuries."
"How could I not bathe?"
"Don’t you know that wounds worsen when they encounter water?"
Seeing her so concerned for him, Xiao Lang couldn’t help but smile: "I’m healthy; it’s no big deal."
Li Mingxi didn’t respond, but when helping him bandage, she deliberately applied the medicine with force, making Xiao Lang wince but not dare to make a sound.
Then, Li Mingxi helped him handle the other wounds.
"You have too many injuries on your body; it’s better to rest well and do nothing!" Li Mingxi hinted.
Xiao Lang naturally understood what she meant.
He lay down and patted the spot beside him: "Let’s sleep."
