After I traveled through the book, I fought back in the Hou Mansion

Chapter 184 Applying Medicine

Chapter 184

Luo Shuiyao looked at him in front of her, and was actually a little dazed for a moment. Her eyes seemed to be attracted by a magnet and it was difficult to move them away from him.

Ye Yunzhou seemed unaware of Luo Shuiyao's gaze. He raised the clothes in his hand slightly and said softly, "I've asked someone to bring the clothes to you. Go and change them quickly. It's getting late now, so I can take you back as soon as possible."

Hearing the voice, Luo Shuiyao's eyes slowly moved down to the clothes in his hand. After a brief hesitation, she reached out and gently took it, whispering, "Thank you." Then she turned around and walked into the house, closing the door.

She didn't look up to meet Ye Yunzhou's gaze, so she didn't see the determination and complacency in his eyes.

Ye Yunzhou was secretly pleased with himself, believing that there was nothing wrong with his approach to attracting others with his beauty. He believed that men, women, and even animals would use their fur to attract others, and he was simply using his own qualities to attract her, so he felt no shame at all.

Luo Shuiyao quickly changed her dress, checked it carefully, and only opened the door after confirming that the folds were neat.

At this moment, Ye Yunzhou leaned leisurely against the pillar in front of the house with his arms folded, his eyes gazing at the sunset glow in the distance. He slowly turned around when he heard the door open. "I'm done."

Luo Shuiyao nodded slightly, saying nothing more. She had already expressed her gratitude repeatedly before, so repeating it now seemed unnecessary. She simply silently etched this kindness in her heart, waiting to repay it someday.

"Let's go, then. I'll take you home." Ye Yunzhou said as he started to walk out. But after taking two steps, he realized that Luo Shuiyao was still standing at the door, not moving. He couldn't help but look at her with a puzzled look, his eyes full of questions.

Luo Shuiyao mentioned the wound on Ye Yunzhou's back, but before she could finish her words, Ye Yunzhou responded nonchalantly, "It's just a minor injury from the countless battles I've fought on the battlefield. It's nothing serious."

Luo Shuiyao hurriedly shook her head and continued, "It's not those knife marks, there's a large bruise."

Ye Yunzhou frowned slightly, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "Maybe he just bumped into something accidentally. It's nothing serious, so don't worry."

Unexpectedly, Luo Shuiyao remained motionless. She whispered, "Perhaps you didn't notice it when you fell, but you will be in unbearable pain tomorrow. Do you have any ointment in your room? Why not find someone to apply some for you?"

Ye Yunzhou shook his head slightly and explained, "There aren't many people around my yard. They're either busy at the horse ranch or helping build your villa. I really don't have anyone else available. Let's ignore your injury for now. I'll take you back first."

Luo Shuiyao thought about his words for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "Then come in, I'll apply it for you."

Ye Yunzhou's hands, which had been behind his back, instantly clenched, and he secretly rejoiced: This was truly an unexpected gain. However, he still pretended to be hesitant and embarrassed, "This... it's not appropriate for men and women to touch each other, isn't it?"

Luo Shuiyao couldn't help but hesitate after hearing Ye Yunzhou's words. She wasn't brooding over the strict rules between men and women, but rather worried that her actions would spark even more fantasies and expectations in Ye Yunzhou. With this thought, her expression softened slightly, and she was about to say, "After you send me back, you can find someone else to apply the medicine for you."

Ye Yunzhou saw through her thoughts almost immediately, and said, "But since you have already agreed to be with me, it is not wrong to do this."

After saying that, he walked straight to the door and said, "Come in, there is medicine in the room."

Luo Shuiyao: "..."

Was she shooting herself in the foot? But now that things had come to this, if she refused again, she would appear hypocritical. Helplessly, she could only sidestep the doorway and walk into the house with Ye Yunzhou.

After Ye Yunzhou entered the room, he walked straight to the cabinet next to him and began to search. After a while, he picked out a jar of green ointment from a pile of bottles and jars, turned around and handed it to Luo Shuiyao, saying, "Use this medicine."

Luo Shuiyao reached out to take the medicine bottle, uncorked it, and sniffed it. A pungent medicinal smell rushed into her nose. She knew in her heart that this was indeed a good medicine for treating injuries.

Then she looked up and signaled Ye Yunzhou to take off his clothes.

Seeing her calm and composed expression, without the slightest hint of shyness, Ye Yunzhou felt a little uneasy. But he was a man after all, so he figured it was no big deal. He turned around, unbuckled his belt with a slightly awkward motion, took off his clothes, and sat on the stool, exposing his back to Luo Shuiyao's view without reservation.

Luo Shuiyao stepped forward and carefully examined Ye Yunzhou's injuries. His back was covered in several scars, varying in depth and shallowness. Some of these scars had even grown, revealing the severity of his injuries. A prominent indentation marked his left shoulder blade, most likely the mark of an arrow. Judging by the scar, the wound must have penetrated from his chest to his back. While he had narrowly avoided a vital injury and narrowly escaped death, this injury was far from a minor one.

A bitter feeling suddenly welled up in her heart. War was always extremely cruel. It was a blessing that he could return alive.

She calmed herself down and tried not to focus on the scars, large and small, covering his body. Instead, she focused her gaze on the bruise on his lower back. The light in the room was dim, so she crouched down slightly and scooted closer. Only then did she see a purple patch on his waist, roughly the size of two palms, with a reddish tint around the edges. Luo Shuiyao gently poked it with her finger, and Ye Yunzhou hissed, his abdominal muscles tensing violently.

Luo Shuiyao couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, secretly blaming herself for being too rude, and quickly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. Did I hurt you?"

Ye Yunzhou, who was sitting with his back to her, had veins bulging on his forehead and struggled to squeeze out the word "It's okay" from between his teeth.

Luo Shuiyao heard the difference in his voice and assumed it was just a sign of severe pain, so she stopped hesitating. She immediately dug a dollop of ointment from the bottle and gently smeared it on his back, whispering comfortingly, "I'll try to be gentle. If it hurts, tell me and I'll be more careful."

Little did he know that Ye Yunzhou's reaction wasn't due to pain from his wound; this level of pain was nothing to him. Instead, it was the tingling and numbness that washed over him where Luo Shuiyao's fingers had touched him, leaving him in excruciating pain. If he hadn't worried about Luo Shuiyao's concern, he would have been unable to suppress a groan.
