Sometimes, he really wanted to tie Shi Nuan up, thinking only then would she behave.
Only then would she be safe and not let him worry so much.
Soon, after applying the medicine on Shi Nuan, Song Yansheng said, "We should wrap it in gauze, or it’ll stain your clothes!"
Actually, there was initially a layer of gauze after applying the medicine, but since the gauze was tied around her elbow, she felt it was inconvenient and removed it.
However, Song Yansheng paid no heed to her and asked Aunt Hui to bring the medicine box from the house.
Aunt Hui acknowledged and quickly went to get it.
Shi Nuan looked at Song Yansheng, under the bright and soft indoor lighting, the man’s slightly furrowed brows and overly handsome face appeared even more striking in the play of light and shadow.
But that expression remained composed.
Shi Nuan indeed felt a bit touched; she didn’t expect her slight injury to make him so angry.
He really cared about her.
No matter what their relationship was, how many interests were entangled, his care for her was genuine.
She just suddenly wondered if what he cared about now was her, Shi Nuan, or someone else attached to her.
Aunt Hui quickly returned with the medicine box, and Song Yansheng wrapped another layer of gauze around Shi Nuan’s arm, as if finally relaxing, reminded her: "Don’t take it off again!"
As if remembering something, he added: "Be careful while bathing tonight, if you really can’t avoid it, we’ll reapply the medicine after the bath!"
Shi Nuan said no more, only felt that it was really late, and Song Yansheng, who had rushed back, must be hungry.
She said, "Second Uncle, let’s have dinner first!"
Song Yansheng nodded, his cold lips finally curling into a gentle smile, and he said, "Okay!"
It had been a long time since she had eaten at the Song Mansion, especially with Song Yansheng, and the feeling was unexpectedly warm.
The dinner was naturally sumptuous. Song Yansheng was probably really hungry, eating more than usual, and Shi Nuan, influenced by him, also ate quite a lot.
After dinner, Song Yansheng paused downstairs to take a call while Shi Nuan carried her bag upstairs.
Seizing the opportunity before Song Yansheng came up, she quickly took a shower, but even after finishing, Song Yansheng still hadn’t come up.
Actually, she hoped Song Yansheng could rest early tonight; just back, and after over ten hours on a plane, he must be very tired.
She pulled out her thesis, reviewing its content, her eyes occasionally glancing towards the door, time had never passed so slowly.
It was close to eleven when Shi Nuan got sleepy, and the room’s doorknob was gently turned open.
The person who came in was Song Yansheng. Seeing Shi Nuan sitting on the bed, he smiled gently, "Why aren’t you asleep yet?"
Shi Nuan said, "Oh... the defense is tomorrow, I was reviewing my thesis!"
Song Yansheng replied with a "hmm" and said: "Go to sleep early, don’t read it for now!"
Shi Nuan was a very smart girl, Song Yansheng always knew that.
Yet her academic performance wasn’t outstanding.
It’s not that she didn’t actually study well, but that she intentionally didn’t want to perform well.
As for a graduation thesis, Song Yansheng wasn’t worried at all; the girl he had his eyes on wasn’t a defenseless little lamb.
Shi Nuan responded with an "oh," tossed the thesis manuscript into her bag beside her, and lay down.
Song Yansheng found it amusing, saying, "Don’t fall asleep too quickly, wait for me; I’ll go take a shower..."
After saying this, without caring about Shi Nuan’s wide-eyed glance, he turned and went directly into the bathroom...
