Chapter 141: Chapter 140 I Can (Third Update)_1 Chapter 141: Chapter 140 I Can (Third Update)_1 He hurt her!
How could he have hurt her!
This was the only thought that crossed Jing Chen’s mind at this moment.
At that moment, his gaze on Mu Lin instinctively became cautious. Like an instinct, the hand that gripped and hurt Mu Lin was still holding her tightly. He didn’t know whether to let go or not.
Was she angry? Jing Chen’s heart was complex at this moment, suddenly afraid to know the answer.
Eventually, it was Mu Lin who reminded him.
“Jing Chen, you can let go of me now, you’ve won.” Mu Lin said; the result would be the same if they continued this competition, she could not beat him.
She thought, could it be that he wanted to compete with her further?
Of course not.
If Jing Chen knew what Mu Lin was thinking at this moment, he would undoubtedly retort without hesitation. This was his instinct.
Even if Jing Chen was crazy, he would not continue to compete with Mu Lin who was already injured. Or, he simply could not do it, even if Mu Lin still wanted to compete, he would just admit defeat at most.
However, Mu Lin had already admitted defeat first.
Perhaps he had not yet discovered that in his heart, Mu Lin’s importance had already surpassed everything else; because of this, he instinctively stopped himself when he heard that she was injured and dared not make any careless moves.
…
“Mu Lin?” Seeing Jing Chen let go of Mu Lin, Yue Qiao, Ye Xiwen and the others nearest to Mu Lin ran towards her without hesitation. “Are you okay?” Their gaze at Jing Chen was filled with blame.
It was inevitable to get injured in a competition, but… anyway, they believed that Jing Chen should not have allowed Mu Lin to be injured.
“I’m fine.” Mu Lin shook her head, “Just a minor fracture.” It hurt a bit.
Compared to others, Mu Lin herself didn’t seem to care much.
She was a doctor herself, so she knew her injury was not serious. All she needed to do was to set the bone back in place, apply some medicine, and… oh yes, take some stasis-clearing medicine, for there was also a wound on her shoulder.
“I can.” Before Mu Lin finished speaking, a deep and slightly hoarse voice sounded from the side.
Mu Lin looked up and saw Jing Chen staring at her… her injured hand.
Yue Qiao and the others looked at him, slightly puzzled.
“I can set the bone.” It seemed like an explanation. This was indeed the first time for Jing Chen to do this. Since meeting Mu Lin, there had been many first times for Jing Chen, and presumably, there would be more in the future.
“Actually…” Mu Lin wanted to say that she could do it herself, but seeing his eyes filled with stubbornness, regret, and anger, she suddenly couldn’t refuse.
He was blaming himself, wasn’t he?
Looking at Jing Chen, Mu Lin’s eyes softened slightly. Although he was a bit heavy-handed, they were in a competition at that time, just like on a battlefield. How could someone show mercy to an enemy?
So, actually, Mu Lin never thought of blaming Jing Chen for hurting her, let alone that he stopped almost immediately.
It was just a little injury. When she was practicing martial arts in the past, she had small injuries like this almost every other day. She was used to it at the time. But now, perhaps becasue she hasn’t been injured in a long time, she felt as though her body had become more delicate.
Mu Lin really realized that when she was injured now, it seemed that others were more nervous than she was.
Well… this was a very good phenomenon.
Mu Lin indicated that she did not reject it at all.
