It was only now that Qin Si Ye felt the pain emanating from there. He lowered his head and looked, "It's nothing, just a minor injury."
"How can it be nothing? Come on, let's find a hospital to clean and bandage it." Shen Xi pulled his right arm and walked forward.
As a doctor, in her opinion, any bleeding was a serious matter.
The key was that it was raining outside, and his shirt was already soaked. If the wound became infected, it would be even more troublesome.
"Wait a moment." Qin Si Ye struggled a bit, "I don't want to go to the hospital. Aren't you a doctor? You help me."
Shen Xi turned back and looked at him with a frown, meeting his resolute gaze, "Alright, then let's find a pharmacy to buy medical supplies first."
The two of them went to the main road, flagged down a taxi, and after much effort, found a pharmacy that wasn't closed.
"Wait for me here, I'll be right back." Shen Xi quickly got out of the car, but after a few steps, she turned back.
"What's wrong?" Qin Si Ye asked, seeing her troubled expression.
"Well, my phone is out of battery," Shen Xi said sheepishly, smoothing her damp hair by her ear.
"Oh." Qin Si Ye understood immediately. He took out a card and handed it to her, then beckoned her closer and quietly told her the password.
Shen Xi muttered to herself, he trusted her so much, wasn't he afraid she would steal his money?
Soon, Shen Xi returned with the medical supplies for cleaning and bandaging.
Getting back into the car, she handed the bank card back to him and asked sideways, "Where are we going now?"
She couldn't possibly bandage him in the car in front of the driver.
"I've already booked a hotel," Qin Si Ye replied. He looked up at the driver ahead, "Driver, to Hui Feng Hotel."
"Alright!" The driver in front responded and quickly started the car, driving forward.
What? To a hotel? Just the two of them? Shen Xi's hand holding the medical bag tightened involuntarily.
But for now, this was the only option, as she had nowhere else to go.
The two of them walked side by side into the Hui Feng Hotel. After registering with their IDs, they took the elevator to the tenth-floor suite area.
Their rooms were adjacent. Holding their room cards, Shen Xi walked to her door and hesitated for a moment before turning to Qin Si Ye, "Let's go to your room first."
Her current identity was that of a physician, and some things didn't need to be so guarded.
"Your clothes are all wet. You should go in and take a hot shower first," Qin Si Ye stopped and looked at her.
After all, it was April, and the temperature at night was only in the teens.
She was a girl with a frail body. If she caught a cold, he would feel guilty.
"No need. Bandaging you is more important," Shen Xi said with determination and walked into his room first.
Opening the door, Qin Si Ye watched Shen Xi quickly walk to the table, untie the plastic bag, and lay out the medical supplies for disinfection and bandaging one by one.
He, on the other hand, stood by the sofa, at a loss.
He suddenly regretted it, thinking it might have been better to go to the hospital.
How could he take off his clothes and let her apply medicine and bandage him when they were alone in a room?
"Hurry up and come over. What are you still standing there for?" Shen Xi called out to him generously, "I'm a doctor now, not a woman. Mr. Qin, don't be too concerned."
Hearing this, Qin Si Ye's lips curved slightly. If she didn't mind, why should he worry?
He stepped towards her and extended his right hand, unbuttoning his shirt one by one.
Shen Xi lowered her head and opened the alcohol. Her peripheral vision caught sight of his footsteps gradually approaching, and for some reason, her heart suddenly started to race.
She closed her eyes tightly, repeatedly telling herself to calm down: Shen Xi, why are you so nervous? You are a doctor now, don't have any distractions.
When she looked up, Qin Si Ye had already taken off one sleeve, revealing his firm, sun-kissed arms, and was sitting in front of her.
Shen Xi let out a long sigh, stood up straight, and tried her best to avoid looking elsewhere. She first applied alcohol to disinfect the wound on his arm.
The wound wasn't very deep, but it was long. Shen Xi was extremely careful, trying not to touch the wound.
Suddenly, Qin Si Ye grunted, and his arm instinctively flinched backward.
Shen Xi's heart tightened, and the cotton swab in her hand slipped to the floor.
As she lowered her head, Qin Si Ye's exposed strong chest muscles and clearly defined abs all came into her view.
