Pei Jiao’s voice was soft. Just hearing it made one’s heart soften. Not to mention Wei Yu, who was in front of her. He fastened the last button on her shirt and slowly raised his eyes to stare at her delicate face. “Applying anti-inflammatory medicine should reduce the swelling.”

Pei Jiao blinked. “Where can I find anti-inflammatory medicine?”

Wei Yu turned around and went to the cabinet beside the bookshelf to open the drawer. He took out an anti-inflammatory medicine and walked towards Pei Jiao.

“I’ll usually have a spare one. It’ll be just right for you,” he said, unscrewing the lid of the anti-inflammatory medicine, then handing it to her.

Pei Jiao did not take it and asked a more worried question. “Is this expired?”

Wei Yu said firmly, “No.”

Pei Jiao looked down and shook her head. “Although it hurts even if I don’t touch the skin of my mouth, it must hurt even more when I apply anti-inflammatory medicine. I’d better not. I’ll just let it swell tomorrow.”

Her cowardice came quickly. Just a second ago, she was worried that her mouth would swell into sausage lips tomorrow. Seeing that he had taken out anti-inflammatory medicine, she immediately beat a retreat.

Wei Yu was both angry and amused. “Aren’t you afraid that your lips will swell like sausages tomorrow?”

Pei Jiao frowned. “l am…”

Wei Yu: “Then be good.”

Pei Jiao stepped back. “l don’t want it.” After saying no, she turned around and was about to run away, but Wei Yu grabbed her wrist faster than her and pulled her back. Pei Jiao could not escape. Her expression turned to one of horror as she shook her head at him. “No, no, I don’t want it. I’m most afraid of pain.”

Wei Yu grabbed her wrist and refused to let go. “Are you sure you don’t want to apply it?”

“I’m not applying it anymore,” Pei Jiao said firmly.

However, this time, Wei Yu did not accommodate her and said directly, “I’ll help you apply it.”

Pei Jiao hesitated. “Then, then, then can you be gentler?”

Wei Yu laughed. “It’s just applying medicine. How heavy do you think it is?”

Pei Jiao looked unafraid of death and raised her face to him. “Then apply it.”

The smile on Wei Yu’s lips spread. Of course, he wouldn’t just apply it to her. First, he pulled her to the side and sat down. Then, he took a cotton swab and applied the ointment to her swollen lips bit by bit.

This process was not as scary as Pei Jiao had imagined. But to Wei Yu, this process was very torturous. Because his mind was filled with the way he had kissed her not long ago, the memory was very deep. That scene was completely imprinted in his mind.

The faint fragrance of her body wafted over. He tried to ignore the wisps of fragrance, but when his gaze returned to her lips, his eyes instantly darkened. Her lips were slightly red and swollen. After applying the creamy anti-inflammatory ointment, it was like a delicate rose, silently inviting him to pluck her.

Wei Yu suddenly stopped applying it. He closed his eyes and swallowed slightly.

Pei Jiao paid attention to Wei Yu’s reaction and asked, “Are you feeling

unwell?”

Wei Yu shook his head and moved his upper body back. Then, he stood up. “It’s applied. Don’t apply it if there’s nothing wrong. When the medicine takes effect, sleep for a while. You should be fine tomorrow morning.” As soon as she finished speaking, Pei Jiao raised her hand to touch it.

Wei Yu grabbed her wrist. “l told you not to touch it.”

Pei Jiao looked up at him. Wei Yu’s breathing had yet to calm down and was a little chaotic, so his tone was a little heavy. Coupled with the fact that he deliberately restrained his expression, he looked a little fierce. Pei Jiao was stunned. She whispered, “I’ll control my hands. Don’t be so fierce.”

Wei Yu was stunned, then immediately said to her, “Sorry.”

Pei Jiao was stunned. “You said… Sorry?”

Wei Yu was a very arrogant person. Whether it was his personality or his appearance, he was cold and arrogant. He would not give in or apologize. Few people could hear words related to an apology from him.

But just now, when that apology came out, he didn’t hesitate at all.

“You don’t accept it?” Wei Yu’s gentle eyes focused on her. “If you don’t accept it, I’ll say it more. Sorry, sorry, sorry.”

Pei Jiao raised her hand. “There’s no need to say anything else. It’s enough.” Wei Yu chuckled. “You forgive me easily.”

“Because it’s you.” Pei Jiao grinned foolishly. “Other people can’t, but you can.”

Wei Yu had an idea. His gaze stopped on her lips that were covered in anti-inflammatory medicine again. After hesitating for a moment, he lowered his head and put away the anti-inflammatory medicine that he had applied on her just now. He placed it back in the original drawer and came to Pei Jiao.

Pei Jiao asked him, “Aren’t you going back to rest? I seem to have… delayed your rest because of this small matter. You were already so tired from work during the day.” Her eyes were full of heartache. Wei Yu shook his head gently. “I’m not tired.”

Pei Jiao said, “As if.”

“I’m really not tired. You didn’t hold me up.” Wei Yu stood in front of Pei Jiao and said seriously, “Sleep well tonight. When you wake up tomorrow, the swelling on your lips will subside.”

Pei Jiao nodded. “l know.”

“And…” Wei Yu hesitated, not finishing his sentence.

Pei Jiao was actually not sleepy at all. After all, she had slept until now after getting drunk. It was not a problem for her to stay up all night. Normally, she would definitely stay up all night, but there was no cell phone or computer here. It was meaningless to stay up all night, so she could only sleep.

After tormenting Wei Yu for half a day, she was satisfied. But what did Wei Yu mean by looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated? What else was he going to say? Although Pei Jiao could not guess, she would not rush him. She looked at him curiously. “What else?”

“Tomorrow morning…” he said seriously, holding her gaze. “Tomorrow morning, I can give you an answer.”

Pei Jiao asked curiously, “What answer?”

Wei Yu said, “l already have a clear answer in my heart.”

“Since it’s clear, why can’t you tell me now?” Pei Jiao pouted. “You’re not sending me away, are you?”

The smile in Wei Yu t s eyes was the gentlest Pei Jiao had seen in a long time. She heard him say, want to be more formal..”
