Outside the door, after Tang Yanqi closed it, she nearly collapsed to the ground. She had exhausted all her strength. When Sheng Jianan accidentally kissed her, when Sheng Jianan grabbed her arm to apply medicine, when Sheng Jianan wrapped her hand like a mummy, Tang Yanqi’s heart, usually calm as water, was truly sent into waves of chaos.
Only she knew how much strength it took to suppress her inner turmoil so she wouldn’t embarrass herself in front of him.
Leaning against the wall for a while, Tang Yanqi slowly walked towards the elevator, her gaze fixed on her bandaged hand. After a long time, a smile tugged at her lips, and she gently, cautiously bent down to kiss the bandage. It had the antiseptic smell, but it was the best scent she had ever smelled because it carried Sheng Jianan’s scent.
The fatigue from almost a sleepless night had dissipated. Upon returning to the dorm, Qi Cheng saw Tang Yanqi’s hand and was the first to jump up: "Tangtang, what have you been up to?"
Bai Bing and Bai Xue also hurriedly got up. Tang Yanqi slowly put down her bag and smiled slightly: "Oh, my hand accidentally kissed a knife."
"Oh my, Tangtang, your hobbies are really... unique. Of all things to kiss, a knife!"
"Why is it wrapped up ? Is the wound very deep? Isn’t it going to fester if wrapped this way? Tangtang, did you go to the hospital?" Bai Xue, as gentle as ever, looked at Tang Yanqi’s bandaged hand with distress.
Listening to her roommates’ concerns, Tang Yanqi’s smile deepened a bit: "No worries, medicine’s been applied."
Bai Bing was the first to notice something unusual about Tang Yanqi. She walked over and touched her forehead: "Tangtang, are you okay? Why do I feel like you’re in a better mood after getting injured? Honestly, what did you do last night?"
Tang Yanqi touched her own face. Was her happiness that obvious?
After pondering for two seconds, she spoke: "Um... hero saves the beauty."
"What? Hero saves the beauty? Then how did you get hurt?"
"Because I’m the hero."
The three roommates were petrified. After a while, Qi Cheng spoke: "Um... don’t you think Tangtang’s been speaking more and more nonsense?"
"Yeah, we need a translator."
"+1, seriously need one."
Tang Yanqi’s face showed some pride. As Bai Bing said, she was happy, really happy. Although she didn’t know why she was so happy, her mood was soaring.
Seeing the dumbfounded expressions of the three, Tang Yanqi raised her chin: "The secret cannot be revealed to mere mortals."
Bai Bing: "Can I punch her?"
Qi Cheng: "I’ll prepare a mop handle for you."
Bai Xue: "But she’s an injured person."
Bai Bing: "Fine, after she’s healed."
Despite the teasing, the roommates only went back to their own activities after confirming that Tang Yanqi was alright.
After sitting in her place for a while, Tang Yanqi received a text from Qi Cheng: [Tangtang, be honest, was it that scumbag who hurt you?]
Seeing Qi Cheng’s text, Tang Yanqi was slightly amused. Ever since Qi Cheng learned her identity and her relationship with Sheng Jianan, he switched from calling him a god to "scumbag" as soon as he could.
Tang Yanqi simply replied, "No," and instantly received a questioning look from Qi Cheng. As her gaze fell on her bandaged hand, she typed slowly with one hand.
