No matter how daring and arrogant she was, she was still a girl. Moreover, she was a girl who had just come of age. How could she not be shy?

However, not only was Mu Feichi not embarrassed, but also he was a gentleman. He was so gentle and considerate that she wished she could dig a hole and hide in it.

He was not embarrassed about such a thing, but she was extremely embarrassed.

Holding a cup of water to her face to cover how red it had become, Yun Xi really could not maintain her thick-skinned act any longer.

Mu Feichi raised his hand and patted her back to calm her down. When she coughed, it tore at her wound. It was so painful that she didn’t care about the awkwardness anymore.

Raising her head, she asked tentatively, “Can I do it myself?”

Even though she knew that the normally domineering man would not agree to it, she still wanted to make a last-ditch effort out of habit. Who knew, maybe she would get lucky and hear him agree?

“No!”

“Why not? Shouldn’t I do this myself? Are you more familiar with this than me?”

She was incensed by his firm rejection that left no room for negotiation. With his refusal, all her hackles raised, and she lost all her courage.

“I’ve been in there before, so how can I not be familiar with it?” a certain someone said confidently.

Yun Xi’s eyes suddenly widened. This time, her face was so hot that it could have cooked an egg.

However, facing such an unreasonable tyrant, she could not act normally. She gritted her teeth. Since he was so thick-skinned, then she would be shameless as well.

“Young Commander, don’t you know that girls are shy?”

“I’ve already seen that. What’s there for you to be embarrassed about? You’re my woman now. If you think you’ve suffered a loss, I can show you mine.”

“I’m not interested in you wearing your birthday suit now.”

Even if his figure was so good that it made her drool, she was not in the mood to appreciate it.

If she really asked him to take off his clothes, who knew what kind of trouble it would cause? What if he went out of control and lit a fire?

She was a patient now and was not responsible for putting out the fire.

“Then we’ll wait for the day when you’re interested. You can look at me when I’m naked. Now, I shall apply medicine for you.”

He had a determined look on his face. His dark eyes were fixed on her flushed face, and he happily played along with her. “Don’t tell me that since your upper body is in pain, you want to feel it down there as well?”

After all, it had been their first time together. In that situation, he had not been able to control his strength. He only remembered her screaming in pain, and he had felt his heart ache because of that.

She tucked her legs up and curled into a ball. She leaned back and put on a determined expression. “No! I’ll be embarrassed.”

Even though she was prepared to become his woman, this feeling was too weird and foreign. No matter how thick-skinned she was, she still could not get past the barrier in her heart. She felt so shy.

“What’s there to be embarrassed about? If you feel embarrassed, you can just roll under the blanket and act like an ostrich. It won’t affect me applying the ointment anyway.”

“An ostrich…” When she thought of the ostrich’s appearance, Yun Xi was angered by his suggestion to the point of laughing. She wrapped herself in the blanket and kicked him. “Then should I stick up my butt for you to wipe?”

“Babe, if you’re going to be so cooperative, I’m more than happy to help.”

“…” In the end, she could not escape this predicament.

She thought about it. He would just be applying medicine for her, so she could easily pretend that she did not notice anything. Anyway, since he did not feel awkward, she could pretend to be fine no matter how embarrassed she was.

Gritting her teeth, she glared at him in annoyance and snorted lightly. She avoided the wound on her shoulder and pulled the blanket over her head.
