Her whimpering voice sounded extremely aggrieved.
Lu Beichen couldn’t help but laugh out loud, tugging at the tightly held blanket, "Did you take a hard fall? Let me take a look."
"Look... look?" She turned her head to glance at him, curling up even tighter, "There’s no need, Little Uncle, I just need to lie here for a while!"
"Be good, listen up! You’re already , I’m not going to do anything to you!" Lu Beichen’s brows indeed showed signs of worry.
"Seriously, there’s no need, Little Uncle!" Her entire face was buried in the blanket, she was blushing almost to the point of exploding, "Even if the fall was a bit hard and there’s bruising there, you can’t just use a boiled egg to... to soothe it over..."
Her voice grew smaller and increasingly embarrassed, she was so hot she felt steam was coming off her ears.
The little woman was truly shy, Lu Beichen was quite helpless, so he went to find a dry towel to wrap her hair in, sitting next to her and gently drying it bit by bit.
Then he brought over a hairdryer to gently blow her hair, his actions were light and tender, continuously massaging her scalp, making her feel extremely comfortable.
"Little Uncle?" She called softly, and only then did he stop.
His pleasant, tender voice drifted over, Ji Niandong hesitated for a moment before softly saying, "Little Uncle, I didn’t do it on purpose."
Lu Beichen naturally understood what she meant, the little woman was worried he might misunderstand, thinking she fell deliberately, attempting to establish some sort of relationship.
He chuckled and deliberately said, "Who gets in this state from showering?"
She slowly turned around holding the blanket, only revealing her eyes to look at him, "Little Uncle, are you mad at me?"
He did not answer, his bright black eyes were fixed on her.
"I really didn’t do it on purpose, I was just too nervous to come out, but it wasn’t intentional..." Her voice got smaller and smaller, with eyes observing him, afraid he might be angry.
"Silly girl! How could I be mad at you!" Lu Beichen interrupted her, rubbing her head, spotting her bruised elbow, feelings of distress all showing, "Look at you, getting yourself into this state, even more careless than Nian Nian, next time you take a shower, I might have to help you!"
"Ah?" She let out a soft noise instinctively.
Lu Beichen pretended to be angry, glaring at her, "Next time this happens, I won’t personally help you shower, can you manage on your own?"
"Oh!" She buried her head in the blanket, responding muffledly.
Lu Beichen chuckled, got up to put down the hairdryer, "I’m going to shower, you lie down properly, don’t move around!"
"Oh!" She responded again, sounding extremely obedient.
After Lu Beichen finished showering and came out, she was still in the same position, he sighed softly, went over and asked, "Are you ashamed to the point of suffocating yourself?"
"Mm, the more I think about it, the more embarrassed I feel!" And she was completely exposed!
She answered without any reservations, which took Lu Beichen by surprise and amused him slightly, indeed like a child, he no longer teased her, went to change his clothes and brought her pajamas over.
"Can you change your clothes yourself?" Lu Beichen asked gently.
Ji Niandong quietly replied, "Can I just sleep ?"
"Still not better? We might really have to go to the hospital!" It’s been so long, yet she remains in this position, seems she indeed fell hard.
She quickly shook her head, "No bones were injured, really!"
Who would go to the hospital for a sore bum?!
Ji Niandong buried her head in the blanket again, feeling like crying but no tears would come.
Before she could react, she felt someone putting clothes on her legs, was it—underwear?!
