Chapter 969: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Is It Annoying?(54)
Zuo Yue was a little puzzled, but the wound beside his chin was not particularly serious. Moreover, it seemed that as long as the wound was treated properly, it would not leave a scar.
She deliberately rubbed against the wound on his chin for a long time. She did not know why, but the feeling just now was very strange. She just did not want to let go. She wanted to continue provoking Little Uncle…
However, in order to prevent him from getting angry, Zuo Yue still turned around and went back behind him without a word. She took out the burn medicine and helped him apply it. Although it would not hurt as much as disinfecting, it would not be easy for him to be injured like this.
As she applied it, she asked,””Does it hurt?”
Xu Chengfeng did not answer.
“Does it hurt?” Zuo Yue leaned closer to his back and asked softly.
“I’m fine. It doesn’t hurt.”
“No way…” Zuo Yue pursed her lips.” The skin where you were scalded is broken, and the surroundings are all red. It would be strange if it doesn’t hurt. You’re not made of iron. I won’t laugh at you if you admit that you’re in pain.””
“Is it done? You can leave after you’re done.”
“Why? Are you going to burn the bridge after crossing it?” When Zuo Yue heard that, she was unhappy.
As he had not finished applying it, Xu Chengfeng could only continue to maintain his back to her. However, his voice was cold and indifferent.”This is the Xu family, not a place where you can mess around. An eighteen-year-old girl has been in my room for so long. Aren’t you afraid that others will think too much?”
Zuo Yue’s hand, which was applying medicine on him, paused slightly. She suddenly looked at him and asked,””Then, after we return to Boston, if there are only the two of us in the villa, can I stay in your room?”
“What kind of logic is that?” Xu Chengfeng frowned.”
“It’s what you said. You said that you were afraid that others would think too much when they saw it. So, if no one saw it, can I do whatever I want in your room?”Zuo Yue asked deliberately.
Xu Chengfeng did not speak at first. Just as Zuo Yue squeezed some ointment and was about to continue applying it for him, the lean naked back in front of her suddenly left her vision. She was stunned and looked up to see the man who had already stood up and left the bed.
“Little…”
“No matter if anyone can see it or not, you can’t.”Xu Chengfeng turned around and poured a glass of water. At the same time, he turned back to look at her who was standing by the bed. He did not want to see her sad face. He frowned and added,”Isn’t it already done? There was no need to apply so much. It was enough.”
“Uncle, do you hate me very much?”Zuo Yue lowered her eyes and tidied up the medical box as she spoke softly, seemingly inadvertently.
Xu Chengfeng did not answer her. He only glanced at her and thought for a while, but did not say anything.
“I know I’m not a child, and the age gap between us isn’t particularly big. I know you’re trying to avoid the gossip of some adults from affecting me, but I don’t think it’s a big deal. You’re good to me, so I’m good to you. Isn’t this natural?”
“If that’s all, of course it’s good.”Xu Chengfeng said lightly as he put down the cup.
“If that’s all?” Zuo Yue raised her eyes. I…”
“Zuo Yue.” Xu Chengfeng looked at her seriously.”Your mother gave you to me. She trusted me 100%. I took care of you because of your mother.””
Zuo Yue seemed to understand, but also seemed to not understand. She stood up by the bed, unable to speak for a long time.
“After you graduate, I probably won’t continue to stay in the United States to develop. Other than the few years you’ll see me in Boston, you won’t have many chances to see me in the future.”
“..”
“You know very well that you and I are not from the same world.”
“Uncle, why are you saying this? I don’t have any other thoughts…” Zuo Yue’s heart began to beat wildly. She felt that he seemed to have discovered her little thoughts and little dependence that she should not have.
At this moment, he seemed to have exposed the ugly things in her heart and was criticizing her seriously. He even cruelly threw her passionate and cautious feelings to the ground.
“Of course, it’s best if you don’t have any other thoughts.”Xu Chengfeng still looked at her seriously.””Then you should go back to your room now and not continue to stay here. I accept your concern. In order for you and your daughter to reunite for another two days, I can stay here for one or two more days. However, I know how to handle my relationship with your grandfather. You don’t have to worry about it.”
“Uncle, I…”
“There’s no need to say anything. Let’s go.” Xu Chengfeng saw the hurt in her eyes and turned around without batting an eyelid. He no longer looked at her, nor did he look at her eyes that were filled with frustration and embarrassment.
Zuo Yue’s nails dug deep into her palm. She lowered her eyes.”I’m sorry.”
Xu Chengfeng paused, but he was only distracted for a moment. He was still ruthless and did not look back.
The little girl’s thoughts were too easy to see through. She was indeed still too young and did not know how to control her emotions. She did not know how to distinguish between feelings that should and should not be. If he did not let her stop at the brink of the cliff in time, she would only be hurting herself.
She was only eighteen years old. She should be living in a place full of sunshine and not going to hell because of him.
These few days, Xu Chengfeng had been reminding her of some things from time to time. He must have thought that she was the kind of brainless person who would develop feelings for her blood-related relatives. He must have felt troubled.
Zuo Yue’s hands were intertwined, and her fingers were tangled. Her joints were white, but there was a smile on her face as she forced back her tears.”Uncle…Rest early…Don’t let the wound on your back touch water. Leave the first aid kit here. If you can’t treat it yourself, get the servant to help you.”
Xu Chengfeng still did not respond.
Zuo Yue felt that it was indeed very embarrassing for her to stand there. She took a deep breath and smiled, but a tear accidentally fell. She was afraid that Xu Chengfeng would see her, so she quickly turned around and walked out.
When she closed the door, she raised her hand and wiped her eyes hard.
“Zuo Yue!” Xu Yuan had arrived at some point. When she saw Zuo Yue coming out of Xu Chengfeng’s room, she quickly walked over and asked,””How is your uncle?”
Zuo Yue was shocked when she saw her mother. She said calmly,””I just went to Uncle’s room to apply medicine on her. After applying medicine, I came out. Looking at his condition, he probably didn’t argue with Grandpa anymore and is willing to stay for two days.”
“That’s good.” Xu Yuan sighed.” Your grandfather has already gone back to rest. There are only a few of us in the Xu family. If your uncle really leaves suddenly, your grandfather will definitely be upset if he doesn’t let go.””
Zuo Yue nodded and did not say anything else. She did not even have the intention to look back at Xu Chengfeng’s room and walked away quickly.
Xu Yuan looked at her back in confusion.””What’s wrong with this child?”
