I’ll Help You Apply the Medicine

Lu Gan did not manage to hide his secret for long.

The next morning, Song Ci drowsily clung to Lu Gan’s arm.

“Let’s shower together.”

Song Ci did not want to be separated from Lu Gan. Her tone was full of longing.

Lu Gan could not bear to reject Song Ci. He nodded and they entered the bathroom together.

For a moment, Lu Gan hesitated.

Song Ci was confused.

“What’s wrong?”

“You’re not allowed to be surprised later.”

“What?”

You’re not allowed to feel uncomfortable either.”

Song Ci became even more confused.

At last, Song Ci saw the bruises on Lu Gan’s legs. There were old and new injuries.

‘I knew it. Rehabilitation isn’t easy.’

Lu Gan slowly took off his clothes. There were even more bruises on his body.

‘So this is why he tried to hold back last night… Those bruises look painful…’

Lu Gan saw the sadness in Song Ci’s eyes. He pursed his lips and forced a smile.

“I said you’re not allowed to feel uncomfortable, right?”

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

Song Ci’s voice was very soft. She felt guilty.

Before Lu Gan could comfort Song Ci, she said, “I was blinded by happiness. It’s my fault for not realizing your suffering sooner.”

Lu Gan disagreed. He patted Song Ci’s head.

“Everything is fine as long as you’re happy.”

Song Ci could not help but kiss Lu Gan on the lips.

Lu Gan kissed her back and continued, “Don’t worry. These injuries don’t hurt anymore.”

‘How could it not hurt?’

Song Ci did not say her thoughts out loud. She just nodded and hugged Lu Gan tightly. After all, she knew that he did not want her to feel bad.

The couple cuddled in the bathtub for a while.

Song Ci helped Lu Gan to wipe his back. At that moment, she discovered more bruises. She lowered her head and kissed Lu Gan’s back.

Lu Gan was about to turn around, but Song Ci hugged him from behind. She pressed her head against his back and said, “Let me apply some medicine for you.”

In the real world, Song Ci had previously worked as a stunt double. She sustained a number of injuries. Despite that, no medicinal assistance was provided unless she bled.

However, unlike her, Lu Gan was a wealthy young master who grew up in luxury. Her experiences were not relevant to him.

Song Ci knew Lu Gan was a prideful person, so she did not try to force anything. Nonetheless, she still felt sorry for him.

Contrary to Song Ci’s expectations, Lu Gan was actually not that delicate. He was a man who learned martial arts and grew up in a strict environment. Normally, he would not even be bothered to use medicine for such injuries. The only reason he did this time was to prevent Song Ci from finding out.
